Published on by Jimmy Sexton (author)
Two out of three nursing homes in central Hastings are in urgent need of improvement, and a quarter of those, are rated 'inadequate' by the Care Quality Commission, their lowest possible rating. Staff shortages and quality of care in nursing homes and hospices in Hastings are at critical level and are the root of the problem, with no improvement in sight'. That's according to staff at four care homes in Hastings who spoke to Brighton Broadcaster news.

Earlier this offseason, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson engaged in a back and forth with Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman over Sherman's oft-stated belief that he is the best cornerback in the NFL.
Peterson's teammate Antonio Cromartie also has some thoughts on the matter and, as you might expect, he doesn't believe Sherman deserves the No. 1 spot in the pecking order. He's not voting for Peterson either, though.
During an appearance on NFL Network, Cromartie was shown results of a fan poll that showed Sherman as the top choice at cornerback over Peterson, Joe Haden and Cromartie's former teammate Darrelle Revis. Cromartie expressed surprise that his name wasn't on the list and said that it was "fine and dandy" to go off a couple of seasons, but that his complete body of work was better than his younger peers.
"To me, right now, it's either me or [Revis]. You got three guys that's up and coming, but right now it's either me or this guy — when we're healthy," Cromartie said. "And when we're healthy we know what we can do on the football field. We've both shown it in a Rex Ryan defense with zero help. We tell that safety to roll up to the other side. … I want these guys to be on an island by themselves and play zero coverage. They [haven't] done it yet. They [haven't] done nothing that me and Rev have done in Rex Ryan's defense."
The reference to playing with zero help was directed at Sherman, with Cromartie noting that the Seahawk plays with two All-Pro safeties and that he's likely to hear a response from Sherman about his opinion. If he does, Sherman might point out that Cromartie has had some very strong seasons over the course of his career but that he hasn't been nearly as consistent (due to injuries or other reasons) as the other players whose names came up for discussion.
However things shake out on lists of top corners, the Cardinals will be quite happy if Cromartie turns in the kind of work we saw from him in 2012 as it will give them a pair of top corners to throw at opposing offenses.

Item Description
Letter, Fannie E. Cole to Miss [Zu] Adams
Author: Cole, Fannie E.
Date: October 20, 1895
Fannie Cole wrote about slaves in Kansas Territory that she remembered from her childhood. Her family came to the territory in the spring of 1855 and settled in Shawnee County. The families with slaves that she mentioned were George L. Young and his mother, John Young, Louis Harris, and Perry Fleshman. This item is from information collected by Miss Zu Adams in 1895. She was researching the topic of slaves in Kansas and contacted a number of early Kansas settlers requesting information about slaves brought to Kansas Territory. While all of the information she collected was based on reminiscences, it still provides useful information that is difficult, if not impossible, to find elsewhere. Miss Adams and her father F. G. Adams were employees of the Kansas State Historical Society and the information received was donated to that institution.

The PCM has detected a problem with the intake manifold runner control circuit. Bank 1 refers to the bank of the engine which contains the number one cylinder. Consult your manufacturer's service manual for the location of the number one cylinder.
If the PCM detects a voltage reading from the mass airflow sensor or barometric pressure sensor that indicates the intake manifold runner flaps are out of position, a code will be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp will be illuminated. Voltage and resistance readings from the intake manifold runner control solenoid may also cause a code to be stored and a service engine soon lamp to be illuminated.
Symptoms may include a rough engine idle, an engine surge, a slight reduction in low end engine torque, a code will be stored and a service engine soon lamp may be illuminated. Since this is considered a "soft code" the service engine soon lamp may flash until multiple failure cycles are accomplished. If the system corrects the conditions for setting the code, the PCM will reset the malfunction indicator lamp. Hard codes will remain until the conditions are rectified.
Two common causes of this code being stored come to mind from personal experience. The first is due to a defective intake manifold runner control solenoid. The vacuum control solenoid is equipped with an engine vacuum filter that frequently becomes clogged and allows debris to enter the solenoid and contribute to failure. The second cause is due to carbon deposits which form on the manifold runner flaps. The carbon deposits make it impossible for the flaps to open and/or close properly. If there are mass airflow codes or barometric pressure sensor codes present, then either one of those sensors could have contributed to this code being stored as well. Broken or disconnected vacuum lines, shorted or open electrical circuits, broken, disconnected, or corroded electrical wiring or connectors could also be causes of this code being stored.
Technicians report that intake manifold runner control solenoids are frequently replaced in error when the intake manifold runner flaps are defective and vice-versa. PCM failure is rare and all other possibilities should be exhausted before condemning the PCM. Replacement of the PCM will require reprograming.

Enter into the estate that is contained within the halls of Studio 6B, and you will encounter a suspiciously masculine-looking Dowager Countess, a painfully slow iron-footed valet, Brooke Shields as one Lady Nora, many telegrams, and a hot air balloon tragedy that could change everything. Yes, the accents are a little uneven, but the lovely Fred Armisen as the sad yet hilarious Lady Edith more than makes up for it.

Ron Paul is not a politician, he's a doctor who was elected to Congress. Mr. Libertarian himself, Murray Rothbard (RIP), was a close friend of Ron Paul and he endorsed his campaign in 1988. Ron Paul is nothing like other politicians. Ron Paul has never sold out to the establishment and it is very unlikely that he will do so in the future.

text: Our name, The Obstinate Daughter, is an homage to the rich Revolutionary War history of Sullivan's Island. On June 28, 1776, under the command of Colonel William Moultrie, the defenders of Fort Sullivan foiled the British fleet's attempt to capture the city of Charleston in the Battle of Sullivan's Island. This first American Patriots victory inspired a London political cartoon of the defiant defenders of Charleston: "Miss Carolina Sulivan, one of the obstinate daughters of America, 1776". To us, The Obstinate Daughter is a beautiful reminder that the stubborn refusal to change one's course of action can change the course of history.

By Elaine Robertson, SF Symphony Chorus Manager
I'll admit—before I saw the initial programming for the San Francisco Symphony's 2012-13 season, I had never heard of, let alone listened to, Ludwig van Beethoven's Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II. (In a quick, informal poll, many of my musical friends had also never come across the piece, so I didn't feel so terrible!) As Chorus Manager at the Symphony, and having been a choral singer since I was a child, I was both surprised and excited to see a piece I didn't know as one of the choral highlights of the season. Part of my job as Chorus Manager is to sit down with SFS Chorus Director Ragnar Bohlin and work out how many rehearsals and what personnel are needed for each choral program in the coming season, so of course, I immediately spent some time listening to and learning the Cantata. And all I can say is that I'm so happy that this beautiful piece of music is something I now know, and I'm excited that so many of you will get to hear this rarely performed gem.
As I spent time researching the Cantata, some things leapt out at me. Strikingly, the Cantata—written for orchestra, chorus, and soloists—was actually never performed in Beethoven's lifetime. The manuscript was lost in 1792, just two years after its composition, and the first performances did not take place until 1884. Beethoven was just 19 years old and living in Bonn when he wrote the Cantata in 1790. Upon hearing of Emperor Joseph's death, the Bonn Reading Society planned a memorial, for which a cantata was to be composed, based on text written by Anton Severin Averdonk to commemorate Joseph's death. The cantata was to be composed by "one of the excellent musicians from among our ranks," or "an outside composer, who will apply himself to his musical task." It is telling that "outsider" Beethoven was given the commission, and it is indicative of his growing reputation that he was asked to compose the Cantata. It is also indicative of his originality as a composer that the work actually could not be performed at the memorial "for various reasons," either because it was too difficult, required too large an orchestra, or simply wasn't completed in time. Because of its length and complexity, it is often considered the first of Beethoven's master works, filled with hints of the greatness of his works to come.
You may recognize the soprano's soaring melody in the Cantata's "Da stiegen die Menschen an's Licht" ("Then mankind climbed into the light") as the melody that we hear in the beautiful oboe line in "O Gott! welch' ein Augenblick" ("Oh God! What a moment") from Beethoven's later opera, Fidelio. The Cantata's opening and closing choruses, "Todt, stöhnt es durch die öde Nacht!" ("Death, groan it through the barren night!"), in Beethoven's oft-used key of C minor, echo his Pathetique Sonata, and the funeral march from his Third Symphony, Eroica.
Some of you may recognize Emperor Joseph II as the character portrayed in Milos Forman's movie Amadeus. Known as the "Musical King," Joseph was named Holy Roman Emperor in 1765, and ruled the Habsburg lands from 1780 until his death in 1790. His "enlightened absolutism" brought about many changes, including the spread of education, emancipation of peasants, limited freedom of worship, and implementing German as the standard language of administration and education in the Habsburg lands. Because of the large scope of these changes, and in part because the changes threatened the aristocracy, Joseph's reign saw many rebellions, and he died at age 48 a rather unpopular leader. At his own request, his epitaph reads, "Here lies Joseph II, who failed in all he undertook." However, despite this sentiment, Averdonk's text for the Cantata references Joseph's "enlightened" 1780s reforms and his good deeds for mankind:
"Joseph the Great is dead! Joseph the father of immortal deeds, is dead! . . . A monster, Fanaticism by name, arose from the depths of hell, stretched itself twixt earth and sun, and night fell. Then came Joseph, with the strength of God, tore the raging monster forth, forth from between earth and heaven, and trampled on its head. Then mankind climbed into the light, earth turned more happily round the sun, and the sun warmed it with godly rays."
History's view of Joseph ranks him as a great monarch—but one who may have tried to undertake reforms too quickly.
The San Francisco Symphony Chorus is really looking forward to learning this hidden musical gem. We start rehearsals in early April, and will have three rehearsals with Ragnar, before joining MTT and the Orchestrain rehearsal. This program also features the SFS Chorus in the world premiere of Ragnar's arrangement of Beethoven's Adelaide. I asked Ragnar what he's looking forward to in these performances, and he is as excited as the Chorus: "It is especially exciting that the Cantata is so rarely performed, yet it is surprisingly rich, dramatic, and mature, written by a very young Beethoven. I'm also excited to have been asked to provide an arrangement of one of Beethoven's most popular songs, Adelaide, for these concerts."
If you need still more incentive to come and hear this wonderful choral program, I'll leave you with this from Johannes Brahms, who said upon seeing the manuscript for the Cantata, "Even if there were no name on the title page, none other could be conjectured—it is Beethoven through and through! The beautiful and noble pathos, sublime in its feeling and imagination, the intensity, perhaps violent in its expression, moreover the voice leading and declamation, and in the two outside sections all the characteristics we may observe and associate with his later works."

To the EDN:
The folks in Washington are once again challenging our industry. Right before Christmas, the US Department of Transportation proposed dramatic changes to the hours of service rules for truck drivers. Upon review of these rules, I believe that these changes will have a devastating impact on the industry as a whole, including Holiday Express, a major employer here in Estherville and Emmet County.
There are number of changes in these new proposed rules that are not acceptable and I am urging you to consider helping the trucking industry to join in this campaign to defeat passage of these new rules. The trucking industry employs millions of people and we are a powerful voice. The shear number of people that work in this industry is a statement in itself and now is the time that we all must step up and be heard.
The new proposed rules are complex, restrictive and unnecessary given the fact that the trucking industry has consistently been operating at a safer level for the past several years. In fact we have the safest highways since the inception of the hours of service rules dating back to the late 1930s. The new rules are cumbersome and will reduce productivity at all levels AND MORE THAN LIKELY will have an adverse safety consequence for the industry and the motoring public.
Some other negative effects of these newly proposed rules are: 1, the economy-We are still trying to recover, but the new rules will hamper our ability to do so. We will have less capacity to haul freight and eventually this will hit the consumer as prices will go up for the goods that we use. 2, Congestion issues. The highways are full of vehicles now, but new rules will demand more trucks on the road-causing more stress on our roadways and great risks of crashes. "3, Driver s will see a reduction in their pay-reduced earning time. For more valuable information on these proposed rules and additional regulatory information, you can go to this website: www.safedriverhours.com. This is a website created by the American Trucking Association.
I am asking you for a CALL TO ACTION! The goal is to flood the FMSCSA with comments, objecting to these newly proposed rules. If everyone who has a concern or everyone who is employed by the trucking industry voices his/her opinion this will lead to millions of comments, sending a clear message of disapproval to the Obama Administration and the US Department of Transportation.
Take action, make a submission-All letters must be received to the FMCSA by FEBRUARY 28, 2011; therefore time is of the essence. To file written comments, you can write to:
Mrs. Anne Ferro, Administrator
ATTN: Hours of Service of Driver
Docket #FMCSA-2004-19608
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE
Washington, DC 20590-0001
Or you can fax your comments to 202-493-2251, just be sure to refer to the above noted docket number.

Update about Vermont slaughterhouses: Grand Isle plant shut down
I spent much of this week pulling together information for a two-part set of articles about slaughterhouses in Vermont, which you can read here and here.So my radar perked up when a press release from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture hit our inbox at the newspaper this morning. In a statement from Secretary Roger Allbee, the agency announced that the USDA and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture today suspended their licenses for operations at the Bushways Slaughterhouse facility in Grand Isle, Vt., due to alleged animal welfare violations. The allegations came from the Humane Society of the United States. Here's part of Allbee's announcement:"USDA and the state have suspended the operation of the facility and are conducting an investigation. These allegations of inhumane handling and treatment of animals if verified, warrant prompt corrective actions to ensure they do not happen again. "In addition, in accordance with agency animal health statutes, the Attorney General has been notified of possible criminal actions in regards to animal health and welfare. "The agency finds the alleged animal welfare practices disturbing and states that there is no excuse for the inhumane treatment of animals. These practices are not representative of the industry as a whole in Vermont and such actions will not be tolerated in our state. The agency is taking every action within its power to address the situation."I didn't speak with anyone from Bushway's while reporting my articles, but the slaughterhouse processes a number of calves for veal from Vermont dairy farms. As far as I know, it was the only plant of its kind slaughtering these animals in the state. Update, 4:10 p.m.: The HSUS has posted more information online about its undercover investigation at the Grand Isle slaughterhouse. The HSUS alleges that workers at the slaughterhouse abused calves, skinned one alive, repeatedly shocked calves who "seemed weak and unable to stand." You can read more over at the Humane Society's Web site, but be warned — many of the photos and video footage are graphic.

Natasha Duncan-Drake has an interesting blog-hop going on which Chris Votey tagged me in. His most recent (and best, if I do say so myself) work, the Daygar Legacy, is an amazingly well-researched and well-written vampire romp through medieval europe. Definitely take a look. This is an interesting prompt as it is geared towards the how and why of the writing process, as individuals find it. The worst part of it, I think, is going to be finding two to three people to tag! Wish me luck!
- Introduce who referred the blog tour to you
- Answer the following 4 questions:
- What am I working on?
- How does my work differ from others in its genre?
- Why do I write what I do?
- How does my writing process work?
- Introduce the people you're passing this on to (3 – 4 people if possible who will then post a week later)
Well, let's get started.
- As I stated above, I was referred by Chris Votey, who runs the wonderful blog Madness of a Modern Writer. He and I met via twitter, after I finished my first ever NaNoWriMo and got full of myself, thinking I could be a professional writer! He's become a mentor and a very good friend to me, although our politics differ quite a bit. He's pushed me to great heights in my writing and in the way I look at the world, and I honestly adore him. Check out his books Terran Psychosis and Scraping By, if you really want a good can't-put-this-down read!
- Four questions
- I'm working on a lot right now, but with my current creativity block, it's all a bit on pause. But the major projects are:
- The Kurylian Saga, an epic fantasy series with a male poc main character who has to learn how to forgive his most hated foe when they're forced to work together;
- A Greater Love, a regency-era-set asexual romance novel that takes a lot of it's plot from tribulations from my own life.
- an unnamed short story set in the victorian era, which so far is a romance between a human serial killer and a rakshasa.
- To answer this question, i have to explain the very first actual story I ever wrote. You see, when I wrote it, there wasn't really a genre for 'the villain is the protagonist'. It just hadn't been invented yet, really. So the fact that the first story I ever wrote featured an all powerful witch brought down to the power of a child and forced to relive her life so that she might learn the error of her ways means that I was already thinking ahead of the bell curve. I have always tried to be different, to understand other's minds, to think outside of my own. So I think my work is different only in that I MAKE it different. I make it more inclusive, more daring, more open than others that I could name.
- The why of it is closely tied into who I am as a person. I've never really liked being me. Even in my earliest fantasies, my earliest daydreams, I was always someone else. So of course, when I get the chance, I'm going to make the main characters as different from myself as possible. Beyond that, however, is the fact that I'm always seeking the ways to see how others are JUST LIKE ME too. Perspective has always been a driving force in my life. Everyone has their own perspective, and I think that's why I write what I do.
- My writing process is a bit hit and miss. Most of the time I start writing just before I have to go to bed. Procrastination at it's finest. Of course, there's a fine tradition of authors writing while laying down in bed, but I don't usually lay down when I'm writing. I sit up, in my bed, on my computer, and open Scrivener. In scrivener, I pick up where I left off and start writing the next scene. I always do this, too, I always write linearly, despite having a program that lets me pick and choose. It makes it fit better in my head. I usually manage anywhere from 25 words to an entire 5000 in one sitting. During NaNoWriMo it can be even more.
- I'm working on a lot right now, but with my current creativity block, it's all a bit on pause. But the major projects are:
- I tag Tunafax, who writes some of the most amazing fanfiction I've ever read! She's writing a story right now called Witcher that makes some old fairy tales look tame. It's a beautiful, gothic tale of wishes made and lives saved, and it's absolutely gorgeous.
- Kudalyn was recommended to me by Tunafax, and she's got an amazing repertoire of stories! Not only that, she's adept at writing a drabble from a picture source. One of her favorite stories, Summoning Slifer, is a very nice look into a very not-human mind.
- Another amazing writer, Ashe, does an amazing job with description, levels even I aim to achieve. Her story The Living Daylights is amazing.
- And then there's Ariasune (Alias for short) who should absolutely join us! Her work Akhet has that lovely touch of humor and tenacity that made me love Good Omens so very, very much. Definitely give her a read!
- And not tagged, specifically, but in a post that I took real interest in, Nana posted her writing process in EPIC detail.
- The person who tagged Nana made some good points in theirs as well. Empress, as she calls herself, has some lovely insights into the writerly mind.
I hope the three I've tagged have as much fun writing this out as I did, and will spread the love! You can read Ashe's response to the tag here.

I've been dealing with a lot of "beginner's" subjects lately such as starting a band and the like, but there is no question that how you learn and who you learn with should be a major priority when you are first starting out.
When I was just a kid, I had already been studying the violin, as well as always experimenting with it and teaching myself things, but my Dad noticed that I was doing a very nice job playing along with his Flamenco records with just a broken 2-string guitar we had lying around the house. This led to his encouraging me to continue with the guitar, and he immediately started looking for a Flamenco guitar teacher in the New York City area, of which there were absolutely none! Finally, we settled on a very wonderful classical guitar teacher named Shirley Dewald, who was extremely encouraging of me, and who so noticed that I had such a good ear that it delighted her to no end! This gave me an enormous confidence boost at the time, which was something I really needed to keep me "buoyed" and feeling good enough about myself to continue. Another great thing about starting with classical guitar was that to this day, it has given me a great right-hand technique, and an enormous amount of respect for the guitar, and its physical requirements and challenges.
As you start to learn from others (and I hope you're utilizing my countless free Gibson lessons!) it's so important that you feel that you are in a supportive environment, and that folks such as your parents, relatives, friends and even band mates are really all in favor of what you are doing. Without this special and so important support, really none of us would ever get very far, to say the least!
So be sure to look for the right feeling to have with your teacher(s), because as you are developing, these things have a way of really sticking with you, and will unquestionably have a lasting effect way down the line! I should know….because even though I have 99% taught myself, it's some of those incredible early lessons and learning experiences that have really stuck with me, and gotten me through many phases of my self-learning, ad my ability to absorb what others are doing as well! Choose your teachers wisely, they'll mean more to you than you'll ever realize!
The early, formative years of forming bands can be a truly exciting time for anyone, and I can vividly recall all of those wonderful and optimistic times I had with my buddies "back in the day!" This is a critical time for you, filled with emotions, thoughts, considerations, downfalls and up hills for sure, and it's a time that is full of things that can go wrong.
One thing that is certainly to become a sore issue, and one that I've seen many a time, is how you sometimes feel obligated to a friend to have them in a band, even though their playing ability and talent may not be up to the standards of everyone else in the group. This is a sensitive thing for sure, and believe me, many of the "innocent parties" in a case like this, are not so innocent, and are acutely aware of their "lesser" position in the band, musically. And they also know that the main reason they are there is because they are your friend. There are many times I've worked with bands with whom you can immediately tell, just by body language, who really feels secure in their position, and who is a little bit "shaky." My heart always goes out to that "shaky" one, since I have always naturally rooted for the "underdog" in many situations, and I can know and feel what that kid (or adult!) might be going through!
Still, if you have a situation like this with someone, you must eventually come to terms with it, and become really truthful. After all, we never want anything or anyone standing in the way of true band and musical progress! It's a sensitive issue for sure, but the kind that the sooner you deal with, the better. Not to mention learning good "life lessons" in handling "touchy" situations correctly and effectively!
There is also of course, the simple fact of really looking to make the best happen for your band, right from the beginning. It's hard, because your "sphere" of friends and players to choose from is still smaller than it will ever be, and defining your "sound" is still a developing process. I do firmly believe in a band that has a "democratic" way of dealing with decisions, but I also believe that all bands do need a leader. Most of the great bands have had "leaders" that have really always pointed the group in the right direction, written the songs, chosen the material and who gave the band their prime "identity." Can you imagine Creedence without the leadership of John Fogerty, or the Byrds without Roger McGuinn…of course not. This is how you should look at yourself as the potential "leader" of your group, and as the true "force" behind making the important decisions one must always make in these formative years of your musical career! Lot of luck!
I have long been a purveyor of the "old is better than new" adage for a long time for sure, and this love for vintage guitars goes back to the mid-sixties for me! But when you really think about it, at the time, when I got my 1952 Les Paul gold top, that guitar was a mere 15 years old! What was special about it was that there had been no Les Pauls made since 1960, (imagine, a '60 burst was only 7 years old!) and the new guitars that were being made at that time during the "Beatles boom" were just not being made up to the quality of the previous years. Hence, we had the beginning of a vintage "craze" that has lasted ever since, and of course, seen vintage prices soar, and the years of vintage "quality" keep expanding! For example, there are over polyurethane guitars from 1974 that people consider true "vintage" that I just think of as poorly made, barely playable instruments!
The truth of the matter is that players today have a better and bigger choice of finely-built instruments than ever before, and it's staggering just how many great guitars there are to choose from! Of course, ever since the late-Sixties, there has been a growing movement of independent luthiers who really brought some fresh new ideas to the fore, and who brought back a lot of the hand-built quality.
Also, the Japanese makers in the early '80s were also very good at filling a void in the quality of the American guitar makers at the time, by essentially showing us what we had been missing. Many of these brands were simply "knock-offs" of vintage Gibson and Fender-type guitars, and it wasn't very long before the American makers got "the message", and started bringing up the quality of their own instruments, and winning back their proper share of the market.
Today, there is such a wealth of fine guitars with good quality control that it literally boggles the mind! I am totally in love with the new Gibsons, for example, and would not have a problem with any one of them. In fact, I firmly believe that this is a "renaissance" of guitar making these days, and that many of the instruments we see as new now, will be future collectibles for sure! I also believe they will always hold their value, and in fact, will continue to rise in value as the years go on!
So, be sure to take a good, hard look at the wonderful guitars available to you today, and you'll certainly see that so much of the "vintage" touch and aesthetic is truly alive and well with today's new instruments! Happy guitar hunting!
Being able to continue your playing while not at home has always been an important continuing step in the development of all guitar players. It's always been a challenge for me to play when on the road, especially when on the road for other reasons that don't really involve the guitar. It's very important to keep up your playing/practicing, and therefore your "chops" at all times, and of course, many makers have created special "traveling" guitars just with this purpose in mind.
One of my favorite little road "tricks" to keep up my playing is simply to be sure to visit music stores whenever and wherever I can. This has always been a real "lift" for me in many ways, because it usually turns into a little "performance" I give in the store, and quite often I am recognized, and before you know it, it turns into a public social event! But the main thing I gained from that experience was that I played and was much better for it!
Another thing I, and others have often done is to "sit in" with other players who are in town or from the area. I can recall several wonderful times like this, but one especially sticks in my mind from down in Fredricksburg, Virginia, where I had a very well-attended guitar clinic of my own that was sponsored by a local music store…..it seemed that this particular town was a real "hotbed" for bluegrass and other forms of music, and after my show, I was invited to not one, but actually four afterhours jam sessions, and opportunities to sit in! Needless to say, I left that town with sore fingers, and with a satisfied soul, for sure! The people were so friendly and welcoming, and I loved how such a big deal was made of the fact that I was in that town in the first place! This also brings up a lovely town called Madison, Indiana, and a store there called Crawdaddy Music, where I always stop on my way to Nashville, and invariably always end up playing some fine vintage pieces for a long time, or even take part in a little "closing time" jam with the employees! It's a great way to have a fun experience while on the road, as well as make new friends and acquaintances, for sure!
I sure do recommend having some kind of smallish "travel" guitar as part of your collection. I can recall two trips I made to California and back on the train, can how great it was to have my little travel guitar to pass the time with, and to write songs with as I watched the incredible landscape of America go by.
I even find it hard to this day, to not stop into one of my favorite NYC shops whenever I am down there, and to have a nice play on some fine instruments! So keep this in mind as you travel around, and always be sure to take the time to play as much as you can while away. I make a point of it, and it will always be truly rewarding for you to set aside that time for your "chops" to be kept up! Happy travels!
There's no doubt about it…some of us may hate shopping for a new car, groceries, linens, whatever it may be, but there's nothing like choosing the right guitar for the job! I often pride myself in bringing many guitars to a recording session, affording me as many "real" sound alternatives as possible when it comes to my choices, but many of us don't have this same luxury.
I always feel that when you buy a guitar it must certainly be a good "fit" for the player, physically as well as sound-wise, but I also feel it must be as versatile as possible. Studio work as well as live playing truly dictates this need, and lord knows I have made very few guitars at times, work for so many different kinds of sessions, it's mind-boggling. Still, these days, with all the options available to you, you can truly choose wisely when it comes to a guitar's versatility.
Pickup combinations, sound choices, coil-tapping, on-board overdrive, Piezo pickups, the variations are staggering, and of course, if you don't mind tinkering on your own or paying extra for others to do it, you can really Customize" your axe! A good tremolo (whammy-bar) unit may be just the ticket for you to add-on, or a third pickup in between the bridge and neck ones for sure will give you more variation. You then can choose any number of pickup switching combinations that can get you an incredible array of sounds for sure, even some things where you can "split" the coils, and alternate between single-coil or humbucker-type tones.
I really think the best kind of variation that will give you the most bang for the buck is definitely the single-coil verses double-coil "humbucker" approach. This will allow you to get either bright and warm tones, overdriven sounds, or just pure, clean sounds, all of which are certainly desirable, and may be needed in the course of a concert or a recording date. Onstage, we don't want to do too much guitar switching, as it kind of slows things down too much, so a versatile guitar is really a "must" for these situations. When you are calling "your own shots" musically, it is of course, one situation, but when you are working for others who may make sudden demands on you, the most versatile approach is surely the one you want to take!
Stomp boxes aside, and I do believe many of them are valid, you still must make sure you can first get as many variations of sounds and tones out of your beloved guitar, before "farming out" any other sounds for sure! Remember that the most important tonal variations still first and foremost come from your fingers, and if the guitar truly "fits" you, then it's the one to go with for as many situations as possible! I hope you enjoy that tonal ride!
No matter how much we think we are learning from others, such as other players, and even teachers such as I the "real deal" is going to come from your own heart and soul when it comes to your playing. I know that I have always sought my own sound when it came to me being an experienced player or even when I was a beginner, and this is something you always must strive for!
In the same way, it's very important to look for those special moments when you really start to feel "at one" with your instrument. This means those certain times of realization where, even though you may not "know it all" yet (we never do!), you feel like you can really use the guitar as an extension of your heart and your soul. Not only that, but you can literally start to express yourself through your guitar on a complete "one to one" basis, with nary a thought involved at all! When people ask me what I think about when I play, I always say "nothing!" It's true…there should be no thoughts involved when you are playing from the heart, only instinctive reactions…it's almost as if you've developed a kind of deeply inbred and universal instinct that man has long-since forgotten, and that you are re-awakening!
All this being said, you truly can recognize it when it does happen, and playing from the heart should be what you are always after. It's true there are the more "academic" ways of learning the guitar, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it all boils down to how you apply all this knowledge, and how it ends up translating to your heart ad therefore to the listener's heart and ears! Music is such an incredibly universal language. It's as if we all share this truly primal need to equate sounds with our feelings. Memories, emotions, loves, almost anything, can be conjured up by what we hear in music, and when we are playing it, it should have a similar effect on us. There are many pieces of music that can make me cry quite easily when I hear them, and occasionally even the rare piece that I might play that will make me cry myself!
We've all heard the expression "less is more", and this is certainly true when it comes to using the fewest amount of notes to say the most we can. This is perhaps the most important part of playing from the heart, and when it comes to creating a work of art, which any solo or guitar part must be. Less should always be more, and when you are truly feeling it, that's all you'll need. Just look at B.B. King, Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, Hank Garland…these people have always understood that they could say just what they needed, with a total minimum of notes needed to get the job done! Good luck!
Whether you live in a small town, or in a big metropolitan area, the same thing holds true regardless; the music world can be very small, and what "goes around can come around." This means that within this "small world" you always want to feel supported by others, as well as supporting those fellow players of yours. This means that even though "behind the scenes" other "back-stabbing" may be taking place, but at least for now, it's important that you put a good face on things. This can only benefit you in the future as well as the present, and you'll no doubt see it have an impact as you get more and more into the music "scene", wherever that may be for you.
Even a place like New York City, where I cut my teeth in the business, can feel very small when it comes to music. I can remember for example, a time when another guitarist and I seemed to always be passing each other, either going in to an audition, or going out! What was funny was just how friendly it always remained, and that when we finally, years later, ended up doing the same gig together, we truly started to hate each other! Maybe I should just say we felt "competitive" with each other on the gig, but we managed to "tolerate" each other's presence. The truth was, I was happy to never ever play next to that guy again, and was so glad when the gig was finally over! Truth be known however, if I had to gig with him again tomorrow, I'd keep it friendly, and I'd expect the same from him. This is also because there's been a lot of time passed since, and I would hope for more professional tolerance from him!
This is true also of bands treating other bands nicely. Odds are you'll one day be trading members, sharing bills, maybe even giving lessons to someone else! Maybe they'll even be using your licks to steal away a gig from you! This is a situation I am very aware of, and sensitive to, and yes, even though I have taught seemingly half the world to play the guitar, to this day, I have students who are playing my licks on gigs I should be doing!
Regardless, I go on teaching these players, and I never really feel bitter, because I feel secure in my own reputation, and the amount of respect I get within the guitar-playing community. This is what's most important, and you must always look down at it all, and be able to see the "bigger picture." What's always far better will be to be known as a "good guy", and as someone who has always helped others, and been supportive of them, no matter what! So, keep this in mind as you move forward in your career, because those folks you help, will one day be needed to help you right back! Be good!
One of the most "growing" and mature things anyone can do who is a guitarist is to learn about truly being a "team player" within any band you're in. This was something that was obvious to me once I really started becoming a "sideman" as opposed to a "front man" in the earlier part of my career. The "team" aspect of the equation is not only a musical situation, but it's also a psychological issue that has so much to do with how you relate to the other players in the band.
The "team" aspect has so much to do with being supportive of the other players, praising when praise is due, and also, as I do many times, taking a player, such as another guitarist, under my "wing." This can pay you back in droves, and is always a good thing that reaps many rewards for you, for sure. Of course, this all doesn't mean you have to give up taking solos, or stepping out into the limelight, but it means that no matter what you might be contributing, it's done in a spirit that always is done for the betterment of the "whole". If we look into the history of some of the best bands with obvious "leaders" we can still see how these folks were also "team" players in the truest of spirits. Examine John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater, or Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. Sure, these are all guitarists and front men who went on to great solo careers, but their initial success was in bands where they shined for sure, but also bands that operated well together as a "whole".
I can remember touring with Huey Lewis and The News, a great bunch of guys, and there was never a sense that Huey was ever more than one of the band members. Of course, he was heaped with affection from the fans, but what made them truly "cool" as a band, was that they actually came off more as a band, as opposed to a band that was backing up a lead singer. You can even tell the friendship that exists between them all, whether onstage, or even back stage, where after each and every show we would all hang out and sing "doo-wop" a capella harmonies. The camaraderie and friendship that was there was so undeniable, it made you proud just to be hanging out with them!
So this skill and effect of being a true "team player" is really honed right from the very start. Take note of what others do, praise them for it, make your criticisms truly constructive, and try to do it all in a positive manner. In the same way, don't let others forcibly and nastily not allow "team" playing. This should be a true "red flag" of an individual who will be hard to get along with, and someone who in the long run will hurt the overall "team" effort! So, beware of the pitfalls, but for sure, accentuate the positive as much as you can, while eliminating the negative! Best of luck to you and your "team!"
Getting ready to do a photo shoot tonight for my new album, which of course, has "album covers and concepts" on my mind. I'm a very visual as well as musical person, and there literally have been times when I already had conceived of the album cover's ideas and concepts, even before I was 100% sure of what music I was going to do on the record! There are many more artists than we think who conceptualize in this way, and I feel that it shows a definitive direction on the part of an artist, and can even serve as further inspiration in terms of what music is going to be on the recording.
It's very important to have a strong sense of how you, as an artist want to be represented in all your photographs as well as album covers, and sometimes, it may take actually seeing the photographs, before you actually determine just what that image will be. This is also a good way to work, especially if you are looking for something extremely real that absolutely represents "you!"
Still, it can be fun to try out different ideas and concepts before the photography begins, and even though I had many ideas put on the back burner for album cover concepts, this one really took hold late, and ended up taking the lead (pun intended!)
It's worth it always to use really good art people in the creation of your album cover, because the last thing you want, unless on purpose, is a really unprofessional-looking job! This is unfortunately the case quite often, and even as fair as I might try to be, I will somehow be slightly dissuaded by a really bad album cover or concept! Of course, these days, almost anything really does go, and there are many wonderful "retro" looks that you create for your cover that can harken to, and conjure up all kinds of new and intriguing ideas. You basically want something that is going to heighten the curiosity of the person who might be holding the cd/album in their hands, and will want to influence them to take that next step to buy it, and listen!
The old days of actually having a large, full-sized album cover in your hands while listening to its contents was a glorious high point for sure, and this album is also going to be released as vinyl as well as cd, so we can take full advantage of the larger format, and all that extra "creative room" it allows us! I, of course, also harken to the vinyl era, as my first 4 albums were strictly vinyl, and had all that wonderful space to play with! This album will open up, so it will have 4 surfaces total, and should be a blast to create! The music is ready, and now it's time for the cover!
So remember, the idea of your cover art must really be a fun process, and you never know just what direction the whole visual process might go in……just like the music itself! Have fun with it, and let it truly "speak" for you, and what's going to be listened to once it's opened up!
Lately, I've been very involved in the making of my new album, particularly now in the "post-recording" part of it, so I figured since it's so on my mind, I can pass on some valuable tips to you…..
This is an era that has totally changed everything in terms of digital recording and mixing, and in many ways it has made the whole process less tedious and tiresome, and far easier, with many more infinite possibilities available to you! With the advent of programs such as Pro Tools, Logic and others, the ability to manipulate, modify and generally "fix" things in the mix has become an entirely new world of recording, that is even changing music itself.
I don't subscribe to much of the electronic-type music, and the over-use of certain blights such as the renowned "auto tuning," but there are many benefits of the digital process for sure. I can remember recording down in Nashville a few years ago, and noticing that the studio we were working in was still "tracking" to tape, and then finishing with digital. I liked this sort of "halfway" approach to the digital revolution, because it enabled us to without question, get a warmer, fatter sound on the basic tracks themselves. This really didn't hold us back at all, as once we were ready to do overdubs and mix down, we had the flexibility of digital programs to make the final steps that much easier.
The greatest moment, and perhaps the hardest when it comes to creating a work of art is knowing when it is done. This is critical for all art forms, such as painting, writing and photography, and having all these new "toys" at our disposal these days, combined with the relative "ease" digital gives us, it can really be a bit hazardous in post-production. I mean, if an engineer is really quick, it almost makes him tempted to try all that he can try, regardless of whether it is truly "done" or not. This is definitely dangerous, and can also run up budgets to the moon if you're not careful.
It's true that it always takes a while to "train" your ear for things such as post-production mixing and mastering, but it should really be worth your while to spend the time with your engineer making sure you see and hear just what is going down I have now been through 2 full "pre-mixes" of my stuff, and feel confident in my incredibly talented engineer to not "overdo" it now we've reached the place where I love the parts, the sounds and the levels!
So beware of the "over-doing" it part, and always be sure to trust your ears as to when "enough is enough." There will always be time to go back to it later, and hey, no problem with tape!

'Not now. I'm on the phone!' Strategies for parents dealing with kids who need your attention NOW
We all know young children need lots of time and attention. But what about when you need to talk on the phone without interruption?
The first thing to remember is that your child isn't trying to annoy you.
Children like to know things. They're looking for information or help with something they're doing. They may also want you to join in the fun of their activities. For some pre-schoolers, it's simply hard to share Mum or Dad.
When children speak they feel what they have to say is important – just like adults! Some kids worry they'll forget what they want to say if they wait too long. However, children need to learn polite ways of interrupting.
Set simple rules such as: "Play with your quiet toys until Mum is finished on the phone". Rules should tell your child what to do rather than what not to do. Positive instructions are more likely to be learned and followed than negative ones.
Most preschoolers should be able to occupy themselves for about 10 to 30 minutes. However, if you spend too long on the phone and ignore your child's attempts to interrupt politely, they'll probably learn to interrupt loudly and rudely.
Try keeping your calls under 15 minutes or wait until they're asleep to make a longer call. If you know you're going to be on the phone for a while, explain ahead of time that you'll be busy doing something important and cannot be interrupted.
You can practise this. Stage a brief phone call of two to three minutes. If your child continues to play, praise them for letting you speak on the phone. Max, I'm really pleased that you played quietly while I was on the phone.
If they don't follow the rules tell them what to stop doing and what to do instead. You could encourage your child by giving them a reward when they follow the rules. Tell them what they can earn — perhaps a favourite snack or special activity.
Eventually, as your child learns to occupy themselves you won't need to remind them of the rules, rewards and consequences each time. Make sure though that the consequences of breaking the rules are consistent and make rewards less predictable by not always giving them out. Praising your child for occupying themselves when you're on the phone should be continued — they've earned it.
If you still have trouble with interruptions during phone calls, keep some quiet toys or activities stored near the phone to grab quickly if your child begins to look for your attention. If the toys are only used when you're on the phone they will remain interesting.

Looks – Alta Moda vs. Temptalia: "I'm a Vampire" Edition
So I know we had a post a few weeks ago about what kind of look would you want to wear but haven't, and a lot of you mentioned red lips. You're not alone with having a bit of trepidation when it comes to consideration a red lip–I have plenty! Especially when it comes to deeper, vampy reds. I invite you to take the Temptalia Red Lips Challenge and try out some reds for yourself. If you'd like to post your results, just send them along to [email protected]. But I still urge you all to try them out, even if only in the bathroom by yourself!
For my challenge, I chose my arch nemesis: Alta Moda. You can see how Alta Moda looks on its own, but how I attempted to make it more "me" friendly by adding a lipglass on top. Plus, you can see a comparison of this look with and without upper lash liner.
I used Cash Flow paint pot (LE) on lid, Casablanca eyeshadow (LE) on inner and middle of lid, Embark eyeshadow on outer lid, Smut eyeshadow on outer crease, Nylon eyeshadow above crease and on brow, Blacktrack fluidline on upper lash line (in some photos), Graphblack technakohl on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. I had Other Worldly blush (LE) on cheeks with Daisydust beauty powder (PRO) to highlight. I wore Alta Moda prolongwear with clear gloss and Red Romp lipglass (LE) (in some photos) on my lips.
** These are recommendations for dupes based on permanent colors available – may not necessarily be identical; they are the closest I can think of!
Cash Flow = Patina; Casablanca = Nylon, Other Worldly = Trace Gold; Red Romp = Russian Red
Just Alta Moda + Clear Lipglass
Alta Moda + Clear Lipglass + Red Romp Lipglass

This week has been a blur. Summer's like that. Always busier than the school year. My kids are running to lessons in three different directions and guess who drives them? Right. Lucky for me, I have a few much anticipated Mommy reprieves scheduled this summer and the second on my list comes this weekend when I travel to Chicago for my very first American Library Association Conference.
I was thrilled to get an email from my local Sisters in Crime group earlier this year looking for volunteers to man (errr…woman) the SinC Booth at ALA. I live in an area of Ohio where all the local chapters of national groups meet at places at least an hour away. I join the groups but never attend meetings because an hour drive to and then another hour from seems silly and time consuming in my busy mommy life when the meeting only lasts one hour. I rely on the email groups for my networking and correspondence, but I'm there in spirit at those meetings ladies! And when something like this comes up, you can count on me. I LOVE conferences. Love. Love. Love.
I jumped on the opportunity to support Sisters in Crime and booked my room the same day. I have my talking points in one hand and my exhibitor list in the other. I can't wait to meet Sisters from groups across the nation and possibly a few authors I can fangirl all over. My Merit Press sister Allison Ashley Formento, author of Twigs, will be there with her children's' book publisher. I've got her on my list of people to find. If you'll be there, tell me where. I will find you! I can't wait. I live for these Mommy-breaks, where I can refuel & recharge with my people.
2013 is set to be an amazing conference. This is from the American Libraries Magazines Site:
"ALA welcomes our colleagues, vendors, and other attendees to Chicago for the Association's 137th Annual Conference June 27 to July 2. From the first year Chicago played host—in 1893, during the World's Columbian Exposition—to now, 120 years later, we remain as committed as ever to the profession.
The conference theme, "Transforming Our Libraries, Ourselves," plays out in programs from the Networking Uncommons and Maker Monday to presenters including Dan Cohen of the Digital Public Library of America and Rich Harwood of the Harwood Institute. The incredible lineup of speakers throughout the conference includes Steven Levitt, Jaron Lanier, Khaled Hosseini, Ping Fu, Congressman John Lewis, Temple Grandin, Giada De Laurentiis, Ann Patchett, Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick, Alice Walker, and Octavia Spencer.
We'll also be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Caldecott Medal with high-profile experts and children's book illustrators including Paul O. Zelinsky, Brian Selznick, Jerry Pinkney, Erin Stead, Chris Raschka, and Eric Rohmann.
Here's just a sample of the programs, special events, author appearances, award presentations, and other activities happening in Chicago. For a complete listing, visit alaannual.org."
There will be pictures!
Hope to see you there

After working on his comedic chops at both ImprovOlympic and Second City, Chicagoan Joe Nunez moved to L.A. in 2001 to pursue an acting career. You might know him as Manche Sanchez in "Prison Break," the guy who hit Will Smith with his car in "The Pursuit of Happyness," the unhappy liquor store employee in "Superbad" or as Lupe's brother who takes Buster with him to work in "Arrested Development."
But despite living in L.A. for more than 10 years, Nunez remains a fanatical Chicago sports fan. He is a regular attendee at L.A. Lakers, Kings, and Dodgers games whenever the Bulls, Blackhawks or Cubs are in town, and he co-hosts the Bear Down Podcast with fellow Chicago actors Matt Walsh, Horatio Sanz and Brad Morris.
With the Blackhawks in L.A., Nunez gets to display his Chicago fandom in a playoff setting. Here for RedEye is Nunez's three-step guide to being a Chicago sports fan in L.A.
Jerseys, tees, hats, flags: Show off your team gear.
This is important in any city. When you're an out-of-towner, you have to let the home crowd know where you stand.
NUNEZ: "We wear our colors with pride, for every sport! I'm a jersey guy. I got three Urlachers, a Forte, a Hester, Sandberg, Dawson, Banks, a Nuñez [in honor of former Cubs pitcher Jose Nunez], a Rose, couple of Jordans, and my prized possession: a game-worn Belfour jersey that I got as a gift when I was a kid!
"Of course, I have every kind of T-shirt and ballcap for my Chicago teams that I wear on the daily. NEVER an L.A. team anything. I'm not hating. I just have mad pride in my city and my teams. I like that people know I'm from Chicago. I scream it. I'm a Mexican kid from Chicago who talks funny the more he drinks and hangs around with other Chicagoans. It trips out my L.A. Mexican and non-Mexican friends. 'WTF, A Mexican? From Chicago?!' Yep."
He also brings a City of Chicago flag to every sporting event he attends, "Just to scare the natives."
Never change your stripes, no matter how long you've lived away from home.
Transplants get swayed. It happens. As Nunez said, you just have to stay true to your hometown "no matter how good an L.A. team is doing or how much our Chicago teams are shitting the bed."
NUNEZ: "My L.A. buddies, they're joking around, but they're like, 'Dude, why don't you support L.A. teams? You've been here long enough.' And I'm like, 'I have my teams.' I go home three, four times a year to see my family and hang out in the city. And I still have friends back in Chicago."
Remember: just because you live somewhere doesn't mean you're from there. And there's nothing more fun than riling up a hometown fan with your superior athletics. Just ask Vince Vaughn:
Find a bar that caters to Chicagoans
Finding your hometown bar in an out-of-state city is like knowing where to find your foreign embassy: you don't have to hang out there all the time, but it's good to have it when you need it. For Nunez, that means going to BAR 107, the Escondite and Ye Rustic Inn.
NUNEZ: "We have a great community of [Chicago sports fans in L.A.]. There's a guy named Brian Trainem, and he's co-owner of two bars in downtown L.A. One is called BAR 107, and the other one is the Escondite. That's where we watch the games, because my buddy Brian, who we knew back in Chicago, set up a place for us. We used to watch them at BAR 107. The year they won the Cup, we watched all the playoffs and the Finals, and now he's opened up this second bar, the Escondite, which is a nicer place, literally in the middle of Skid Row and Little Tokyo. They call it 'Skidroykyo.'
"[Brian bought a rundown bar] and was like, 'I want to make this a Chicago bar.' He bought an Old Style sign and hung it above the door at BAR 107, and changed everything. He's got old-timey beer paraphernalia, Chicago paraphernalia, posters, Old Style signs, signs from Wrigley Field, street signs. He really wanted to make it like a great Chicago dive bar. And he succeeded.
"He opened up [the Escondite] a couple years ago. It's a nicer place. [Trainem's] got this beautiful wooden bar, but he bought a siren, and he has a horn, so that when the Hawks score he blows the horn and has this light for whenever we score.
"I'd like to give Ye Rustic Inn in Los Feliz an honorable mention because there is always a big group of Bears fans that take over the joint on game day. It's dark inside, they turn up the volume for our games, best wings in L.A., the bar and waitstaff are the best (and hottest) in town! And, oh yeah, PITCHERS of beer. Chicagoans like a good pitcher or four during a game! It's always the first stop when friends come to visit from anywhere in the world. Fact: Bukowski used to drink here."

Strike Out Cancer
The nonprofit branch of real estate heavyweight firm @properties, @gives back, recently partnered with the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation founded by the Chicago Cubs first baseman to knock the Strike Out Cancer fundraiser out of the park. The event at Architectural Artifacts featured a silent auction and VIP reception with Rizzo, and included cocktails along with baseball-themed bites. Guests got into the giving spirit during the silent auction to try and win elite prizes, like an exclusive Wrigley Field dugout experience, helping to raise more than $130,000 in support of cancer research and those battling the disease.

Realizing that those with dial-up may have a hard time opening the pdf that I mentioned yesterday, I decided to post a transcription of the review of Douglas' speech as printed in Staunton's Republican Vindicator on September 7, 1860. Of course, Douglas made the speech at the Court House in Harrisonburg, on Monday, September 3, 1860. It's an interesting read.
We accompanied Judge Douglas to Harrisonburg, and heard him deliver a masterly speech to a very large and enthusiastic audience on last Monday. Although it was raining and the day was damp and disagreeable, the Court House was crowded. He vindicated in a clear, concise and satisfactory manner, the position occupied by the Democratic party, his own fidelity to the Constitution and laws, and his perfect submission in all cases to the decisions of the Supreme Court. He contended that although that tribunal might make a decision distasteful to him, yet, as an honest man, respecting the dignity of American citizenship, he could not and would not fail to render implicit obedience to the result of its action. Throughout, his remarks were characterized by a degree of candor, frankness, honesty and nationality, which won the admiration of all. A number of persons heretofore the avowed supporters of Mr. Breckinridge, came out unhesitatingly and fully for Douglas. We have never known a more favorable impression to be made than that created by the speech and presence of Judge Douglas in Harrisonburg. Those who had charged him with being an abolitionist, found that no man breathes, who is more fully committed in sentiment and action to the maintenance of the rights of all the States alike, or who more indignantly denounces and repudiates any abridgement of or interference with the rights of each individual and State of the Union. He made these preposition clear and satisfactory to every impartial mind, and opened the eyes of many who had heretofore opposed him because of a misapprehension of his views and position.

These Forgefix single thread Coach Screws are Zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance. Their hex head enables higher torque capability when tightening, and increased speed of use with socket drivers.These Coach Screws conform to DIN 571 standards.
APPLICATION:Used widely in heavier timber installations and for fixing timber to masonry. Also popular as a fixing for satellite dish installation together with a rimmed or rimless wall plug.
Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate's surface integrity.
Single thread screws have been designed to offer higher pull out values and quicker insertion.

After recovering from the sticker shock, folks will ask me for a less expensive way to wall mount flat screens in their homes, churches, etc. I have seen the wall mounting brackets for these flat screen wall mount televisions and/or monitors sell from $80.00 to over $400.00. I agree that it is quite an outrageous price for what they are.
There is an age-old, inexpensive, method for mounting cabinets and other heavy items that also works well for wall mounting flat screens. It is called a "French Cleat" This time-honored French cleat is a system that uses two beveled lengths of wood. The top block is screwed to the hanging object. The other half is attached to the wall. When you place the top half of the cleat over the bottom half, the item is locked firmly in position. To make the cleat, one simply cuts two pieces of wood at an identical angle on a table saw or, lacking that, using a circular saw.
(Simply type "French Cleat" into a web search if you are not sure how to make one.) (Scrap hard-wood makes a good cleat)
If one does not need to swivel, pull out, or tilt their flat screen, this mounting method will cost you next to nothing. I have also noted that some of those expensive mounting brackets, stick out quite far from the wall. This mounting method will pull the flat screen closer to the wall, hiding unsightly cable connections.
I hope this is helpful and saves you some money
