If you work at a school and you haven’t had a teacher or parent volunteer wrap laminating film around the rollers of your laminator, consider yourself lucky. It seems like nearly every school secretary has a at least one horror story involving someone loading the school laminator incorrectly. And trust, me it isn’t too hard to make a big mess. However, it isn’t the end of the world. Here are a few quick steps to follow to get your laminator back up and running again …

First, DO NOT PANIC. Wrapping laminating film around the rollers of your machine is not going to ruin the laminator. However, if you panic and decide to try to scrape the laminating film off with a razor blade knife (true story) or run the motor continuously while the machine is jammed (also a true story) you might ruin the laminator. Just remain calm, stop the laminator from running and under no circumstances use anything sharp on those rollers.

After you have calmed down, you are ready to get down to the business of fixing your laminator. The first step in this process is cut off the unlaminated material so that no more laminate can wrap around the rollers. To do this simply cut the unlaminated material before it reaches the roller. Again, be very careful not to touch the rollers with anything sharp.

After the unlaminated material is cut loose from the machine the next step is to try to get any loose laminating film off of the machine. Depending on how much material is wrapped around the rollers of the machine this may or may not be difficult. It is often much easier to remove the film from the rollers when they are hot. Of course, be careful not to burn yourself on the hot rollers. However, the rollers don’t actually get that hot and you should be able to work with the laminator when the rollers are heated.

After you have done your best to peel all of the laminating film off the rollers that you can, you will probably notice that there is still residue left on the rollers. If you leave this residue it will stick to any new laminating film that you load and cause you to wrap film around the rollers again. Thus you need to remove. The easiest way to accomplish this is using a scouring pad (one of those green ones from the kitchen) while the rollers are still hot. You can use the motor of the laminator to advance the rollers as needed to make sure that all of the areas of the roller are clean. Be sure to remove all of the residue from the silicon rollers. Once the rollers are completely clean you will be ready to load film onto your laminator again.

As you can probably tell, cleaning a laminator with film wrapped around the rollers is not incredibly fun and can be somewhat time consuming. However, new rollers for most school roll laminators cost $300 or more so there is definitely incentive for cleaning them off. Then when you are finished, remember to make sure that your volunteers know how to properly load the laminator to make sure that it doesn’t get wrapped up again.

Back Then $11.87 Gunnar Bjerk wears his heart on his sleeve. It’s displayed prominently in his straightforward electronic pop songs, which are romantic in every way: musically, sonically, lyrically. Bjerk, who arrived in New York City via Arizona a few years ago with hopes of becoming a studio engineer, ultimately landed at DFA, where he studied under the tutelage of label co-founder and LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy. As house engineer, he worked on a slew of DFA recordings for artists including LCD, The Crystal Ark and Shit Robot; when he wasn’t in the studio, he began writing and crafting his own music. “Write what you know” is the old adage that nearly every up-and-coming writer learns, and Bjerk has adhered to that tried-and-true formula. His recordings document the wistfulness, longing and sadness he felt about the long distance between he and his girlfriend, who was still back home in Arizona while he made records in New York City.

There and Back $5.58 There and Back, Jeff Beck’s first new studio album in four years, found him moving from old keyboard partner Jan Hammer (three tracks) to new one Tony Hymas (five), which turned out to be the difference between competition and support. Hence, the second side of this instrumental album is more engaging and less of a funk-fusion extravaganza than most of the first. If it were anybody else, you’d say that this was a transitional album, but this was the only studio album Beck released between 1976 and 1985, which makes it more like an unexpected Christmas letter from an old friend: “Everything’s fine, still playing guitar.” ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Jan Hammer – Drums, Keyboards; Jeff Beck – Guitar, Bass; Mo Foster – Bass; Simon Phillips – Drums; Tony Hymas – Keyboards

There & Back $14.38 Naming a label Old School Metal Records leaves very little to the imagination, but at least there are no surprises when its inaugural release turns out to be a collection of long-lost material by San Francisco’s Ruffians — a band so obscure they never even made it as far as getting signed during their original mid-’80s existence. And listening back to their original, eponymous six-song mini-LP of 1985 (which opens this set), it’s immediately and abundantly evident why they got lost in the shuffle. Not only were tracks like “Fight for Your Life” and “Wasteland” inordinately conventional in their predictable hard rock arrangements, but much like beleaguered local heroes Y&T, they suffered from what can only be described as exceedingly clean production standards, rendering them professional but lifeless. Vocalist Carl Albert’s elastic range and piercing screams do lend a certain semblance of (very) early Queensrÿche to more spirited numbers like “Run for Cover” and the quasi-thrashing “Eyes of Fire”; but “You’re All I Need” is a hopelessly undercooked attempt at pompous power balladry (Y&T’s “I Believe in You” was “Stairway to Heaven” by comparison!), while “Bad Boys Cut Loose” simply suffers from the sort of knuckleheaded chorus that only glam metal outfits from down the coast in L.A. could hope to pull off. Some of these songs are reprised with superior results — amid a few more decent originals like “I’ve Got to Know,” “Desert of Tears,” and their namesake track — in the ensuing live recordings, proving that stifling production may indeed have been the root of Ruffians’ downfall. But as the original 1984 demos that close disc one, and the additional, assorted live samplings (mostly from 1987, but also including a video performance from their one-off 2004 reunion at a German festival) covering disc two confirm, Ruffians was a competent but workmanlike outfit that was never really worthy of greatness anyway. However, they are perfect for the cult following this expertly packaged collection will attract, so have it, nerds. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
