The Art of Building School Community
December 2nd, 2009 admin
At Eagle Rock School , in Estes Park, Colorado, the alpine air is so thin, it literally takes your breath away. For most of the 96 teens living and learning here, the Rocky Mountain setting couldn’t be more different from the city streets they’ve left behind. For at-risk kids, a school that instills strong community — and accountability — makes a life-changing difference. 5 off No Off read more

Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour (cove...Finally, my new cover of this masterpiece is up! My old cover had some bad syncronization and, obviously, not fully nailed. So I needed to re-cover this one too. This song might just be my favourite Megadeth song together with "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and "Good Mourning/Black Friday", it really gives you the goosebumps, or like Dave himself says in this song: "My flesh still crawls..." It has a beautiful solo by Young, some very simple but memorable riffing and a nice mix of melancholy and aggression. I used my Small Clone for the cleans and my Boss DD-7 for the chromatic riff in the beginning and Young's solo. Recorded May 12 and May 13 2010 using a Pentax Optio M30 regular digital camera, audio recorded with an iAudio 7. Edited using Magix Music Maker 10 Deluxe and converted as a 640x480 resolution Windows Media Video with 25 fps. Guitar: Jackson Warrior WRMG (with EMG 81/85) Amplifier: Peavey 6505+ and an Ashdown Peacemaker 412A cabinet with Celestion G12E-50 speakers. Effects: Electro Harmonix Small Clone, Boss DD-7. Settings: Lead channel: Pre: 8 Low: 2.8 Mid: 3.2 High: 9 Post: 1 Resonance: 3 Presence: 9 Strings: GHS TNT (.010 - .052) Pick: Dunlop Jazz III If you rate it, please motivate and write a comment too.

I agree with Maurice Elias’s blog entry about furlough days for Hawaii’s public schools — a total redesign of the school day to meet the needs of our 21st-century learners.
