Here are the streaming tracks from our very first self-recorded, self-released EP. We had so much fun bringing our songs to life, and we really hope you enjoy it! (P.S. We covered a Billy Idol song.)
Look for our new album, Hindsight, in early 2020.
"Constant Machine"Written & performed by Echo Drop
Not the things that I say but the things that I do that make me
You'd think that I haven't got a clue what my mind is for
An impression of a life is to take what you want for granted
In the end all the little ones will join my machine
"Rebel Yell"
In the midnight hour, he cried more, more more
With a rebel yell, he cried more more moreWritten by Billy Idol & Steve Stevens
"Gonna Be"Written & performed by Echo Drop
Never thought about it but look around it's all the same.
Every girl is broken hearted, every guy's to blame.
How about we take a little bit of power back?
This script is fiction baby, oh not a fact.
"Isn't It?"
Don't wanna close my eyes again
And wake up to you as a friend
Could these be the words I say
When you're half a world away?Written & performed by Echo Drop
"Open Your Mind"
Some days I can not try
They tell me it's fine, but not alright
Making and breaking up with my sanity
Will my better still get the best of me?

Hey everyone, I'm really excited to announce that YamteQ has been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award!
First, I must thank the individual that nominated YamteQ, Aditya Gandhi from Seeking My Utopia who produces highly intelligent content and is, indeed, a class act. Receiving a nomination from you on our tiny contribution to the internet means more to me than you can imagine.
Next, I'm nominating as many other versatile bloggers as I can while trying not to renominate anyone that's received the award too recently.
Now, don't be surprised at the range of topics included in these nominations. Yes,
With that said, here are my picks:
- Joe of BeingAndNiceness.com
- Sean of AuthenticallyAverage.com
- Katie of RedHeadedBelle.com
- Makaela of UniquelyMickie.com
- Iveth of ForTheLoveTo.com
- Jessica of WelcomeToSpanish1.com
- Anja of Gaia-S.org
- Yaya of MyDreamality.com
I also want to mention the other bloggers that have truly helped to make this site versatile: Bryan Shelmon of AnthemCulture.com, Keith Lang of LocationYou.com, Phil Siarri of Nuadox.com, and Ahmed Diab of SpeakEgyptian.com and
Lastly, I'm supposed to share 7 things about me, and this seems to be a fitting opportunity since the About Us page on YamteQ isn't very personalized as of the date of this post. (Idea!💡…Guess we'll need to fix that…)
Without further ado, here are some current facts about me:
- Practicality lives at my core. At least, I like to think so, and no, I'm not perfect at being practical. Bottom line, if things aren't simple and sensible I'll shy away from them like a nocturnal owl from the sunlight. In general, what practicality means to me is knowing when to put in extra effort, when taking a bit of extra risk is worth it, or when it's best to take little to no action at all.
- I love painting. It's therapeutic and practical (see above fact), because once I'm done I've exercised my mind have something physical to show for my time.
- I fit many millennial stereotypes, and I'm proud of that. Granted, there are a few paradoxes within the typical millennial profile and I'm happy to leave which ones match me, sometimes or never, up to your imagination.
- As a follow up to that last fact, I absolutely loathe texting. I was born too early in the 80s to be comfortable with speed-texting whole conversations like my teenager does. I'd much rather talk on the phone if there's a lot to share.
- I'm an open-minded conservative. I believe maintaining core values is best for individuals and society but I think restrictive governance is not the best option either, as long as allowing people to embrace their free will doesn't lead to a surge in death, sickness, or crime.
- To lighten things back up, pizza and cookies are my favorite foods. I know, I know. They really shouldn't be. And they are not part of a practical diet.
- Boredom is something I haven't experienced in a long time. I'm grateful for that.
To wrap up, it was really fun being nominated for this award and writing this post. We look forward to many bright days ahead and being a part of such a wonderful blogging community!

Finally, the purge has begun in the Hartford school system.
New schools chief Patricia Daniel is indeed making like New York City school Chancellor Rudy Crew, overhauling her administrative staff and putting her people in place.
Not everybody is happy with the changes. Too bad. It's called leadership.
Last week, Amado Cruz held an emotional press conference to make a case for his remaining as principal of beleaguered Hartford Public High School. Cruz, who returned in February from a two-year medical leave, said he wanted two more years to turn the school around.
Some in the Latino community say he's being used as a scapegoat for the high school's impending loss of accreditation. Others have grumbled about losing a couple of high- profile Puerto Rican administrators. And there are still hard feelings about New Jersey's Edwin Duroy, who is Puerto Rican, losing his bid to run Hartford schools in a last-hour power play by Daniel supporters.
Reared in the city, Cruz was a star football player and class president at Weaver High. Proud. Respected. Principled. He has served as Hartford High principal for 15 years.
But if Daniel says Cruz -- or any other administrator or staffer -- has to go, then so be it. That's the way it has to be when your public school system is failing, when a new superintendent is hired and the state dismantles the local school board.
Though Daniel is making like Rudy Crew, her job is similar to that of Rick Pitino, the Boston Celtics' new coach and president.
She has to turn around a losing franchise. Yesterday.
Amado Cruz, who now will oversee dropout prevention and attendance in the school system, is like K.C. Jones. The venerable Celtics legend and new coach of the New England Blizzard women's pro basketball team was a dedicated player and coach. But Jones got bounced, along with about 20 others, in the housecleaning orchestrated by Pitino.
Nothing personal.
"When it comes to making a decision for children, I'm going to do what I always think is fair and just," Daniel said. "But I want to make sure people involved [in being reassigned] feel that there is nothing done to harm or demean anyone."
The Hartford school system has lacked direction -- someone secure enough to make tough decisions, personnel and otherwise, without fear of retribution.
Daniel is doing what she should be doing -- shaking things up.
You can't gripe about poor leadership and then get indignant when unpopular decisions are made.
The new state-appointed board of trustees is doing its job so far -- checking its ego at the door and deferring to her.
Last week, Daniel appointed 50 principals and administrators. More changes are expected. There are principal vacancies at Hartford and Weaver high schools and at Quirk Middle School.
Daniel plans to put a heavy emphasis on after-school professional development programs. She says a better trained staff is more likely to achieve the school district's goals.
Reading and math skills of those in preschool through third grade will be given a higher priority. An audit of the operation budget will be conducted soon, along with assessments of buildings and enrollment projections.
High on Daniel's agenda should be pointed discussions on how to weed out chronically disruptive students. These troublemakers take up valuable class time with their distractive behavior.
The support Daniel -- now in her fourth month on the job -- has from the majority of parents, staff and others must continue.
"I can't do it alone," Daniel said. "I need a team of individuals with the feeling of commitment from me, that I'm going to be there in support of them. And, in return, I think I'll be getting it from them."

Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT)
The nanomaterial for aggresive enviroments.
Inert and oxidatively stable
BNNTs possess thermal stability from 900 °C [1] to well over 1000°C [2,3], as compared to only 400-600 °C for carbon nanotubes. This allows the use of BNNTs as reinforcement for ceramic and metal matrices, where high processing temperatures would prevent the use of CNTs. The chemistry of BNNTs also enables their use in metal matrices, where CNTs cannot be used for reactivity reasons.
A high-strength reinforcement material
The elastic modulus of BNNTs is identical to that of carbon nanotubes, with reported values of 1.22-1.3 TPa. [4, 5] The tensile strength of individual BNNTs has been reported at 33 GPa [6], and single-walled BNNTs show buckling characteristics superior to single-walled carbon nanotubes. All of this indicates that BNNTs are a promising reinforcement material for ceramic, metal, and polymer matrices.
Favorable thermal and electrical properties
BNNTs are an electrical insulator [7-9], but possess extremely high thermal conductivity, predicted at 3000 W/m K for 14 nm tube diameters. This atypical combination of properties suggests that BNNT-reinforced materials may be useful in thermal management.
Light-weight radiation shielding
Boron nitride nanotubes represent a light-weight structural solution for radiation shielding, due to the very high neutron capture cross-section of 10B. 10B-enriched BNNTs are currently in development. BNNT-reinforced polymers are an attractive light-weight option for radiation shielding in aerospace applications.
Reduced chirality
The nature of the B-N bonds reduce the number of chiral variants available in BNNTs to zigzag and armchair.
Suggested applications
Aluminium alloy reinforcement for high-strength low-weight structures. Ceramic composites for hot-section turbomachinery. Glass fiber reinforcement for use in aggressive environments where high-strength and thermal resistance are required. Radiation shielding.
Material Properties
Appearance: Off-white to light-gray powder.
Chemical composition: 98.5 wt.% B and N. 80%+ boron nitride
nanotubes. Non-tubular BN mainly as sub-micron hexagonal boron nitride
Diameter: 10-200 nm
Wall-thickness: 2-10 nm
Maximum Length: ~500 μm
Average Length: 5μm
Oxygen: about 0.3 wt.% as B2O3
Metal catalysts: 0.05-0.1 wt.%
Bulk density: 0.2-0.5g/cm3

Divorce can have harsh financial consequences for couples of any age, but especially for those over 50. According to a new report from Bloomberg, there is a disturbing trend of "gray divorce" causing financial devastation across the country.
With the late-life divorce rate doubling since 1990, this is causing an alarming number of divorcees to live in poverty. Even wealthy Americans who divorce after 50 find the process expensive and emotionally draining.
Startling statistics
According to new research, couples who break up after 50 can see their wealth drop by approximately 50%. The standard of living for women drops by 45%. Older men may find their standard of living decline by 21%. American women age 63 and older who get a divorce experience a poverty rate of 27%, even higher than widows. These numbers paint a stark picture of many older divorcees struggling to recover from the financial shock of ending their marriages.
Health effects
Gray divorce can have chilling health consequences too. People who go through a gray divorce have higher rates of depression than those whose spouses die. Divorce can lead to a significant amount of weight gain, particularly for men. Additionally, divorce can cause adults to have higher blood pressure.
Gray divorces are surging
Couples after age 50 are still divorcing at increasing rates, even while the overall divorce rate is declining. At the very least, researchers predict that more than 828,000 U.S. adults over 50 will be divorcing every year by the time 2030 comes around. This is in comparison to 206,000 divorcees in 1990.
Recovery tactics
Research suggests that the best way to recover financially and emotionally from a gray divorce is finding a new partner. But this can be difficult to accomplish, especially for women.
These troubling findings show how important it is for divorcing couples to make smart decisions and do everything possible to protect their finances.

World Firsts with New Certifications for Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Group
Green Globe recently certified Café de Paris Monte-Carlo and awarded Gold status to Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo.LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 26, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Green Globe recently certified two Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Group properties. The Café de Paris Monte-Carlo is the first restaurant in the world to receive Green Globe certification and Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo is the first spa globally to receive Green Globe Gold certification.
Les Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo - Green Globe GOLD
A pioneer in sustainable development, Les Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo has been awarded Gold status marking five years of continuous certification. It is the first spa worldwide to receive Gold certification and was the first spa in France to be certified by Green Globe.
The wellbeing establishment was first certified by Green Globe in 2016 receiving a compliance of 82%. Recently, the eco-responsible institute obtained an exceptional score of 86% thanks to new impressive sustainable development initiatives.
"A strong and ongoing commitment to sustainable development is what our teams have been continually implementing in their different activities - treatments, fitness, food and health. This commitment has been rewarded with the Green Globe Gold certification, of which I am very proud", explains Christine Zoliec, Managing Director of Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo.
Over the past five years staff members and management at the Spa have worked hard to mobilize and encourage all employees to support its sustainability vision. In 2014, the Spa established their Thermes Marins Green Team, a dedicated team which organizes and monitors their environmental approach. Last year in June, a Beach Cleaning Day was organised at Larvotto Beach in Monaco. Volunteer staff members collected three kilograms of waste, which is a sizable amount given that the collected waste was comprised of many tiny, light items including cigarette butts, plastic bottle caps and plastic bottles left on the rocks.
All the teams are actively involved in treating guests respectfully. The spa is constantly orientating itself toward creating healthier cuisine through making optimum use of local products purchased from the market. The spa also has a thriving rooftop vegetable garden filled with aromatic herbs which chefs peruse daily for menus.
To minimize use of plastic products as much as possible, Les Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo reviewed its policies and chosen to use more eco-responsible suppliers as well as eco-certified products for beauty services and treatments.
Café de Paris Monte-Carlo - FIRST Green Globe Certification
Café de Paris Monte-Carlo, the mythical brasserie on Place du Casino, is the first restaurant globally to receive Green Globe Certification.
"This Green Globe certification is the result of the hard work by all of the teams at Café de Paris Monte-Carlo and with it we become the first restaurant to be Green Globe certified," said Stefano Brancato, Managing Director of Café de Paris Monte-Carlo.
A strong sustainability approach is shared at the restaurant amongst staff and clients by raising customers' awareness of green issues and encouraging community action through initiatives such as the donation of food to the associations Les Anges Gardiens and La Soupe de Nuit. In addition, the restaurant planned a charitable event for Téléthon, an organisation that funds research projects on genetic diseases. The restaurant organised collection points for unwanted items or gift vouchers that were then donated to Téléthon.
The restaurant's sustainable commitment extends all the way through to its kitchens, which joined the Mr.Goodfish programme in November 2019, thus respecting the responsible consumption of seafood on its premises.
About Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Group
These new Green Globe certifications are part of the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Group's proactive approach to work in favour of responsible luxury. The Group's Green Teams set in each establishment have carried out this approach since 2013. Les Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo joins the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort and the Monte-Carlo Beach, both certified Green Globe Gold since September 2018. Café de Paris Monte-Carlo joins Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo and Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo who have been certified by Green Globe since April 2019.

Your Recording Evolution - then and now
Would love to hear about your recording evolution, especially in regards to what you can do now that you could not do then
My first recording machine was a tascam 4 track portastudio. I was a hack then and it many ways I'm still a hack. But as a newbie to guitar being able to record rhythm tracks and practice, record, and listen to my leads was ground breaking for me.
I used the Tascam for years but eventually picked up an Adat 8 track. Once again it's primary use was for instant gratification and to record band practice.
Eventually DAWs were popping up everywhere but it was not until recently I actually started to record for song documentation and "Product". I have a lot to learn (mic placement, mixing, room design..etc). I currently use the last Sonar version of Cakewalk platinum. Band labs is now giving it away for free, minus some plugins
Though there are many basics procedures we take for granted now (cut and paste being the most basic) there are relatively new(ish) things that are starting to gain traction. At first they were sketchy but the tech has gotten better.
Don't use them all to often but 3 things that blow me away are.
1. slowing down, speeding up and stretching audio. The soft were I use (Groove clips in Sonar) still leaves artifacts but still, wow. What do you use with good success.
2. Though i prefer a good take, Pitch correction, especially in polyphonic tracks is impressive.
3. This has been around for a while but being able to upload digital tracks and send them to other musicians, so they can add tracks is ...convenient. And with today's upload speeds large files are not an issue
What about you? What do u do now that you could not do then, and what do you use to do it.

My home recording endeavors started in 1972 with a portable cassette deck and a second borrowed cassette deck. I would bounce between two decks. I had to balance the overdubs by positioning the microphone between the new source and the cassette decks speaker. Very primitive.
Around 1975 or so I purchased a Sony three head reel to reel deck. I would bounce back and forth on the tracks adding additional parts. Only the most recent track was usable as the previous track would be slightly out of sync due to the distance between the record and playback heads.
In the mid 80's I used a Yamaha MT44 4 track cassette deck and later a Tascam 414 4 track cassette deck.
At the end of the 90's I went digital, first with a Boss BR-8 and then a Korg D1600 in around 2007.
I currently record using a PC laptop and Reaper as my software. A Steinberg UR242 is my interface.

I'm sure there are going to be some stories of moving up the technology ladder, but I suspect most of them will start higher in the food chain than I did.
I first recorded on an early battery powered mono cassette recorder player back in the 60s. I didn't play, but I can remember recording an acoustic duo by moving the handheld mic as one soloed, or the other sang etc, sort of the reverse of the one mic bluegrass band tactic.
I'd edit by playing back on the cassette player into it's internal speaker and recording on another cassette player.
When I started playing in the 70s I recorded onto an 8-track. No, not a multitrack recorder, an 8-track, those chunky cassettes that folks once had in their cars. You had to make sure that you didn't go past 20 minutes or your track would cut over to the next segment (anyone who had an 8-Track player will remember that "feature"). Still mostly recording solo acoustic and vocals, now in stereo.
Later in the decade I bought a pair of cheap battery powered Radio Shack mixers and ran into the output of each into one channel of a stereo cassette recorder. Mics were now Radio Shack 1/4 plug mics. This made it easier to record with more than one sound source, including percussion tracks I'd make myself and play into the mixer on a second cassette player. As the 80s began I added electronic drums, via the Mattel Synsonics drum toy which I would play "live" or use to make the percussion tracks. And as we all remember the 80s had synthesizer bands with banks of synth to go with their somewhat more sophisticated electronic drums. I had a Casio VL-1. Full control of ADSR on it's single monophonic oscillator--and you could balance your checkbook with it too! I bet Depeche Mode couldn't do that!
Casio VL1
Still mixing down to cassette, but the two tracks while not over-dubable did allow some post recording choices.
Eventually in the 90s I got a Portastudio. 4 Tracks and overdubbing! I never really went full Sgt Pepper with overdubbing on it, in fact I was still recording mostly "live" but 4 discrete tracks did allow better mixes when I mixed down to cassette. I probably started using "real" microphones then, like a Sure SM58 and SM57s.
I bought a Digidesign Digi001 Protools setup right as they came out at the turn of the century and used it to record live rock band stuff as well as solo acoustic for over a decade. I would occasionally overdub, but I never really learned to edit in Protools, despite the product being the popularizer of the whole DAW concept for a great many people. I used a pair of Yamaha mixers by this point and I got a few more SM57, a pair of Octavia small diaphragm condenser mics, and one of those early MXL mics. I actually did all my post-recording editing and mixing in Cool Edit Pro which became Adobe Audition.
In the 2010's I bought my first Focusrite interfaces and while I still recorded live rock band stuff in Protools using them, I started using Logic Pro 9 and then Logic ProX.
I still record "live" playing and I still record things with just a single acoustic guitar, but Logic has lead to my use of Virtual Instruments. Whole string sections, wind instruments, Mellotron tapes without the mechanicals, syths. I no longer own an electric piano, I use VIs. I'll play various ethnic instruments via a guitar MIDI controller. Lots of one-man-band overdubbing, in-the-box digital effects, and more DAW style digital editing than ever (though I still do much less of it than most DAW and VI based musicians do, preferring to play or overdub live parts). My mic selection has improved. I tend to use mid to low priced dynamic mics for most vocals (Shure SM7b and ElectroVoice RE-20), that Octavia pair for acoustic guitar. SM57s still work well on electric guitar cabs, just like they did decades ago.
So what's improved? I never had a high-quality analog setup, so digital recording is what I associate with much better sound quality. Digital editing and mixing is such a boon, just fader automation alone has eased my workflow tremendously. Digital effects are so much cheaper than their hardware equivalents. VIs and soft-synths are amazing.

I first started with a Yamaha MT3X 4 track cassette with DBX and a 6 channel mixer.
I also had an Alesis MMT-8 midi sequencer and a Kawai drum machine and a Yamaha DX100 synth. I could record a click track on the MT3X from the sequencer and also sync the drum machine to the sequencer.
That way I could use 3 analog tape tracks and mix in a bassline from the DX100 with stereo drums from the Kawai using the 6 channel mixer on the portastudio.
I also owned a Casio VL-1 - great fun!

My first attempt at recording was back in the mid-70s when a friend and I managed to rig his home stereo so that we could a microphone and record onto the cassette deck. I was recording a song I'd written for someone and wasn't really taken by the recording bug ...probably because of how badly the recording came out.
Sometime around 1999 or 2000 I was having lunch at the high school where I was teaching and one of the music teachers came in with a person he'd brought in as a guest lecturer on digital recording. I wasn't a music teacher but my colleague knew I was a songwriter and he introduced me to Jack. We started talking about recording and I told him I dreamed of making an album some day. He offered to let me record at his place for a ridiculously good price. We worked on the album on and off for about a year and as we went I became more and more fascinated with the process, especially when he showed me things he could do in Pro Tools to correct any minor mistakes I'd made. By the time we'd finished, I'd gotten quite a recording education from him and I was even doing some of my own editing on his computer.
Within a year of finishing that album, I decided I wanted a home studio of my own. Although I had gotten a fair bit of experience using Pro Tools, I had little idea what I'd need to buy to be able to record, so I gave Jack a call and he helped me put a package together that included a 2001 Power Mac, a Digi 001 and a pair of Mackie 624s.
That served me well although the Digi 001 preamps left something to be desired. When the Digi 003 came out, I decided to upgrade the entire system. I bought an early 2008 Mac Pro to go along with it and I sent the 003 to Black Lion for an upgrade. It was an improvement but there was still something sterile about those preamps that I didn't love and that's when my preamp journey began.
My first outboard preamp was a Focusrite Twin Track channel strip. Didn't love it and bought a used Avalon M5. Didn't love that either.
Next up was a John Hardy M1. That pre is excellent for acoustic guitar but I wasn't thrilled with the vocals I was getting. At the time I my main vocal mic was an AKG Solidtube that I'd bought used. I had the Avalon M5 up for sale on various sites and someone contacted me with a trade offer: the M5 for a Blue Kiwi microphone. Since the M5 was selling for $1500 at the time, and the Kiwi was selling for $2k, I figured it was a good trade to make since even if I didn't like the Kiwi, I'd still have a more valuable piece of gear to sell.
It turned out I loved the Kiwi. It was a big upgrade from the Solidtube but I was curious about whether a tube preamp would make it even better. I think I spent a couple of months researching what tube pre to buy. I eventually settled on the Demeter VTMP-2c. The Kiwi through the Demeter sounded wonderful. I probably could have stayed with the combination but I was still curious about what was out there and began collecting information from others into recording as to what mic they'd reach for when they heard my voice. Most of them answered with some kind of 47-type mic. And that began a new quest.
I think I spent a year or more reading up on just about every 47ish mic available at the time. I listened to videos of them and as many shootouts as I could find. The Flea 47 emerged a clear winner but the idea of spending $3700 on microphone seemed a bit nuts to me. It took another couple of years to summon the courage to pull the trigger. Glad I did though because I found my vocal mic. I don't even think about vocal mics anymore. I'm still keeping the Kiwi though because on many women, the Kiwi-Demeter combo is just killer.
On the rack side of things, after Pro Tools decoupled the software from the hardware, I bought a UA Apollo Firewire which I've more recently upgraded to the Apollo 8Xp. I've also added a couple of other preamps in recent years: a Sebatron Axis and a Hendy Da Vinci ...and there's the new jump into the 500 series that I talked about in another thread.
I've been into this stuff for about 18 years. I made a lot of bad purchasing decisions when I started. With the exception of a few microphones, all of the gear I bought in the first eight years or so has been sold off. But this is also true... I haven't made a bad purchase in a long time so maybe I've learned a few things.

Started with a tape recorder (then two to bounce tracks, LOL).
Had a reel-to-reel for a while (until I broke it).
4-track Tascam (that was a lot of fun).
DAW with lots of other software (still trying to learn how to use it all).
Well, now. I started fiddling with my father's kit Realistic reel-to-reel with a "magic eye" instead of a VU meter when I was about seven. I learned to thread the thing up, route a signal, and record on my own... and then he walked in on me.
Being a fantastic dad, he decided to buy me my own recorder for my birthday to his protect his gear so he bought me a Webcor 620 reel-to-reel, around 1968 when I was eleven. I loved that thing. I learned to make tape loops and playback tapes backwards and that kind of fun stuff on this one.
Probably the first one I made serious recordings on was a Tandberg 9100X with cross-field heads. I later picked one of those up and now it lives in the studio with me.
During college I bought a Tascam 3440 and Model 3 mixer and started my own studio.
Meanwhile I was studying recording, music composition, and electronic music in college.
(I'm on the left)
Which leads me to being hired into the industry in 1981, and working on Neve and Solid State Logic consoles and Ampex, Sony, and MCI tape decks. Pic is from 2003.
These days I record non-linear on DAWs with Nuendo.
So, that's kind of hard-core, I guess.

I started a similar thread back in 2012 along the same lines, "How we got started recording " but I think it's a good idea for a redo because there are many new contributors here now
Like others as a teenager I tried with a simple stereo cassette in the mid 60's but it sounded so bad I gave up.
Thru some fortunate circumstances in 2002, I got the chance (for free) to knock out about 8 songs in a high end Post Production studio in midtown Manhattan one Sunday afternoon. It was a Pro Tools TDM system with acoustically accurate control rooms to record in , and using two Neumann U87 ai mics, one on my acoustic guitar and one for vocal. I was hooked.
When I got back to Wyoming in the spring of 2003 I bought a home studio system. A Digi- 002 8 channel console mixer, with Pro Tools LE , an Apple G4 laptop. And an inexpensive Studio Projects C1 LDC (I think) mic, and dove in.....And some KRK 8 " monitor spks.
As jim1960 noted the pres in the 002 were also marginal at best, and coupled with the cheap Studio Projects mic I was frustrated when A/B ing against the CD of songs I recorded in NYC. As noted it was quite brittle sounding comparatively.
I bought a Focusrite ISA series 220 single Channel Strip which was slightly better sounding .
Then a Apogee Rosetta 200 2 channel converter again some slight improvement.
I finally gave up on the Studio Projects and went in search of something better ended up with a pair of Shure KSM 44 s good improvement
A few years later I decided to try to find something like the Neumann U 87. Sold the 44's and ended up with a Brauner Phantom V . Pretty significant improvement.
I then set out to get a Mic Pre-Amp, after about a year of searching I bought an A Designs MP2A tube 2 channel pre , after playing and singing through one.
Next in January 2011 I made a big change. I sold the 002 and got an Avid Omni interface with HD Native PCIe card and an Apple Mid 2010 Mac Pro Tower.
I also enrolled in a 12 week online Pro Tools production course, at Berklee Collage of music
Then in aprox 2013-14, got a Schoeps CMC 6- MK4 SDC for acoustic guitar
2015 ,sold the KRK's got a pair of Amphion One 18's and an Amphion 100 watt amp.
2016 got an IGS Tubecore 3U tube Mastering Compressor
And finally early this year I sold the Schoeps got a pair of AEA N 22 ribbon mics an ADK Z-Mod 251 LDC tube mic .
I am pretty well set now just need to try to get my performing, recording, and mixing chops, up to somewhere near the level of my gear

Flower of Magherally [arr. Jim Tozier]:
I can't say I rose nearly to the heights that Bob & others have, and I'm a bit younger, but remember recording things in the '70s/early '80s with a Realistic cassette recorder and supplied microphone. Serious quality there!
In college, had a couple of tape decks, so my roomate and I would record two tracks (one L, one R) and then bounce those to one track of the other deck while we played a third track, back and forth infinitum.
Finally found a friend who had a Tascam Portastudio 4-track, an 8 track mixer, and a few SM58s.
During this time, I also worked at a radio station and learned the art of splicing reel-to-reel tape. Did some limited production work there, although no music recording.
Upgraded roommates and recording capability eventually, with someone who had a Tascam 238 8-track cassette, 16-channel mixer and a couple of AKG 414s.
I finally discovered digital in the late '90s with the original CoolEdit Pro (which became Adobe Audition), then to Audacity, now to Reaper and full digital capability. CoolEdit/Audacity gave unlimited tracks but you still needed some outboard gear, and any effects were not real-time and were destructive. But the biggest leap was the ability to cut & paste sections or whole tracks to assemble a piece.
Reaper (and other modern DAWs that have come along since) have upped the game considerably, from much easier tracking, comping tracks, editing to real-time effects and VSTs. I am still learning a lot about these, but have no desire to go back!
I started with a "reel to reel" as others did, about 50 years ago!
I begged my mom for one of these for Christmas, and as soon as I had it I immediately pulled the capstan cover to see how it all worked. I figured out quickly that I could lift the magnet that swung down on the tape when recording and could record over the top of what I previously did!
It was my very first "overdub", but it wasn't very useful because you couldn't listen and record at the same time, obviously. I did a few passes and my mom came in to see who else was in the room with me...
I went through a small variety of recorders, one of which was a Webcor with the "Magic Eye" level indicator.
I started out with a Sony 5" reel to reel mono recorder. moved up to a Teac 2340 four track. Then to a DA-88 8track....then moved in to the software DAW's. I've had Cool Edit, Adobe Audition, Sonar, Studio One 4, and now Cubase 10. I've had a few others but they have fallen by the wayside.

In 6th grade I had two Realistic cassette recorders. On the first would record my guitar, then position the second so that the microphone of the 2nd would pick up the "1st track" and either my voice or a second guitar part. It was pure GENIOUS! I would even add a third track if the first two tracks sounded clear enough.
Years went by until I bought a cheap Teac real to real that could kind of do the same trick as my 6th grade projects.
Then of course I bought a Tascam 246 Potastudio which was 20X better quality, LOL.
THEN...16 tracks of ADAT and the requisite Mackie 24-4 with a couple of great mics.
Now I have just an RME Babyface and use mostly Gefell mics with some sweet outboard preamps and compressors.
regarding mics, I stated out with a $29.99 Radio Shack mic. I was so proud of that mic even though it sounded awful. then I bought Sennheiser 421's, and was so proud of them, but they had a very weak signal, tried Shure 58's, C-1000's, Neumann 102's, Shure SM7b, and a bunch of others, Now my main mics are AKG 214's, Telefunken M-80 and MXL V69 ME. Best sounding mic to my ears is the MXL V69 ME tube mic....
guitar amps, I've had many, but ended up with Roland Jazz Chorus 40, Fender Super Champ XD, Fender SFX and BOSS Katana mini. I also have a Roland 12" keyboard amp which sounds great.

The Fisher Cat is an interesting and adorable game where a cat wears a scuba suit to dive into the sea with a hook gun so that he can catch under water creatures. Different types of fishes give you points and a few other creatures like jelly fishes will reduce your health since it gives a shock. There are power ups too which would increase your fishing capabilities. Make sure you catch as many fish as you can to feed the hungry fisher cat. Each level prevails until the oxygen meter runs out. Catch as many as tasty fishes, avoid jelly fishes and satisfy the fisher cat's hunger to finish the levels.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! These three simple steps are those used by every successful person on the planet. Success is a word with lots of meanings, but for our purposes let's just say people who seem fulfilled. The first step determines the type of result that could be produced, the second what it will 'feel' like while you are working the plan and the third will produce the result. It's simple and in one form or another you've hear it before, but it is worth repeating.
STEP ONE – What do you want?
What do you want? Finding out the answer to this question produces deep self-knowledge and it takes a little work to get to it. This work is the most worthwhile work you will ever do. Spend some time alone with your thoughts and ask the questions you want answers to gratefully and prayerfully. They will come.
STEP TWO – Why do you want it?
So, you know what you want. Why do you want this thing or these things? The 'why' must be qualified – it cannot be superficial in any way. It must contain depth and be very personal to your nature. Is your 'why' big enough to keep you pressing forward when obstacles arise? If your reason for doing-what-you-do cannot sustain you through the darkest of times, you will give up if things get really hard. Set yourself up to succeed. This deep 'why' is the fuel you need to finish the journey. Once you know what you want – getting clear on the 'why' is essential. It is the source of WILL to finish the third and critical step.
OK, this is a real estate website, so your 'what' is probably real estate related! You why is your own. Make sure it stirs your SOUL! You may have come to this site to buy an investment property, to buy a house to live in or even to invest with us. All are excellent strategies to achieve dreams of more money, more free time for whatever you want to do, quitting a job or home ownership. I want to see you get what you want from life. I cannot stress enough that the third step is what produces results. Without action it's all an intellectual exercise. Nothing will happen until you take the third step – ACTION!
Let's talk about the elephant in the room – FEAR. I am not immune. I can only tell you what has made a difference for me. In the past I have been paralyzed by fear – what will happen if I fail? You know what? The answer NEVER was, "I will die." Or even be harmed. That means the fear was irrational – an evolutionary throw-back from days on the plains running from saber-toothed tigers. I'm not going to die and neither are you from taking action. Failure is so unlikely and the truth is you would have to really work hard at failing to prove me wrong! Especially if you are clear about your 'why'. Try thinking of it this way – even if failure happens, you won't die, it's only temporary and extreme learning will have occurred and the NEXT try our odds of success improve. There is no downside to trying. There is great downside to failing to try or giving up which is regret. Failure is preferable to regret – ask anyone on their deathbed. I don't mean to be morbid, but I want you to succeed and to do that you have to get out there and DO IT! It is also way more fun to be doing something toward a goal than simply engaging in mental exercises about something you want.
One thing to keep in mind – many people charge after a goal and wonder why it doesn't work. If your motive is totally about what you can get out of it, you are starting in a tough place. I'm not saying that you won't achieve your goal if your run over everyone in your path, but it is a harder road. Life (not American life as portrayed in TV and Movies, but the real world) works in balance and cooperation. If everyone involved in your plan received benefit, then there will be a natural flow to achieving your goals. If you do not take mutual benefit into account and still move forward with your goals, natural law will come into play at some point to maintain balance. You do not want to be on the receiving end of such an adjustment. I've seen it happen and it's not pretty. Give some thought to how the transaction affects everyone involved.
Take action throughout 2017. Now. Just start. We will walk this path of action together. Don't know where to start? I'll post some additional blogs in the coming months to share a few strategies: rentals, rehabs, passive investing. You can always email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm happy to help.
If you've been sitting on the fence, stop it! If it's trying for a new job, asking someone out, buying your first home or starting an investment portfolio. The important thing is to START. Like now.
I'd love some feedback here – what can we do to better to serve up deals that spur you to action? We want to see you succeed in your goals – whatever they may be – and we believe passive income through real estate is one of the BEST ways to do that. We want to help you get started or grow an existing portfolio. We want to help you invest passively for great returns in real estate secured deals. We want to provide the best tools available to achieving success. Let us know what we can offer that would be of greatest assistance. We've been working steadily the last few years to build our business and we are looking for the best ways to improve our service.
With your input, we can improve our service to help you make 2017 your best year in Real Estate.

How Now Cow Power?
- Posted on 25th April 2018

Cows providing fuel for electricity
Chris Berdik Jan 9, 2018
IN A RURAL valley south of Deerfield, power lines strung on new poles run along a stretch of muddy gravel between the main road and the interior of Bar-Way Farm, where hundreds of cows provide electricity along with their milk.
Manure from the cows is pumped into a massive, red, airtight tank that acts like a giant stomach where microbes consume the waste and create biogas (mostly methane) to power a one-megawatt generator—a process called anaerobic digestion. There aren't enough cows here, or at any Massachusetts dairy, to power a system this size with manure alone, so it's supercharged with a slurry of food waste delivered by tanker trucks a few times every day.
When the state banned commercial food waste from landfills in October 2014, anaerobic digestion advocates predicted a win, win, win—a much-needed destination for food waste, an economic lifeline to endangered dairy farms, and a new source of clean energy. But only two new digesters have started up on farms since then. (Two were in place before the organics ban and three non-farm digesters have started taking food waste since 2014.)

Former Leyton Orient owner Barry Hearn appointed honorary president
PUBLISHED: 19:58 29 June 2017 | UPDATED: 20:01 29 June 2017
PA Archive/PA Images
Hearn was chairman of club from 1995 until 2014
Former Leyton Orient owner Barry Hearn has been named as the east London club's new honorary president.
The 69-year-old served as chairman of the club from 1995 until 2014, when he sold O's to Francesco Becchetti.
The Italian has since sold the Brisbane Road outfit to Eagle Investments 2017, headed by Dunkin' Brands Group chief executive officer Nigel Travis, who have handed Hearn a return to the club.
In addition to his role with Orient, the Matchroom Sport owner will also sponsor the club's youth teams this season.
"In keeping with the rest of Leyton Orient, I am looking forward to it," Hearn told the club website.
"I have always been a fan and right now I couldn't be any happier for Orient as a club.
"Nigel Travis has come in with his group and I really believe they are the right people."
Orient have also confirmed their pre-season schedule, which starts away to Harlow Town on July 15.
O's also visit Burnham Ramblers (July 18), Greenwich Borough (July 22), Hornchurch (July 25) and Billericay Town (July 29).
The Brisbane Road club will finalise their pre-season preparations by hosting Arsenal under-23s on August 1.

For Nigeria, Knocking On Heaven's Doors, By @DemolaRewaju
In the aftermath of the 2015 electoral loss of Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan, my pain as one who had supported him stemmed not from the feeling of a personal loss but anger that he had seemed to assume that his mandate was a personal one that nobody had a right to feel more angered by than himself.
I saw this as selfish – his occupancy of the position of president was not just about him. It was about his wife who had stood by him for years faithfully, who had fought battles in defence of the man whom she had always loved and who even if he was just still a lecturer at the university, she would still love as much as she did when he was president.
It was about a political party, used to having its way at elections with the sheer strength of state machinery in many instances but also some of whom worked quite very hard for electoral victory, not consulted before the man conceded – men who are now hounded into exile, into jails and into silence by their political foes.
It was about a people – those of the Niger Delta who had waged battles against the Nigerian State ever since the discovery of oil led their environment into degradation and who had contributed sons like Isaac Adaka Boro who died while fighting the civil war against Biafra and Ken Saro-Wiwa. It was about the peoples of the north in a way – for whom those years of power-holding had not yielded anything but a certain feeling of superiority with nothing to show for it in improved living standards or education other than that their kinsman was in power.
That election was beyond the person of Jonathan. His was the culmination of years and years of battle against an old Northern establishment that has laid claim to power as a birthright since the departure of the colonialists. As certain realities on which some of us warned now come into play, it feels again like a call to the trenches that our fathers once stood in and did battle that old enemy. It is unfortunately a battle that robs even the victor of a bit of himself.
"Lord, take these guns away from me/Cos I can't shoot them anymore" – these lines from Dolly Parton's version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door came to mind and stirred my muse – a battle has to be fought but it is not one we will relish fighting.
I came to know Awolowo through the writings of Chief Bola Ige but both men for me were Yoruba Leaders – with the latter being a bit more nationalistic than the former. I preferred Zik whom I always thought was a lot like Ige – in oratory prowess, in leapfrog thinking and in writing. The more I grew in political enlightenment, the more I appreciated Awolowo and how he came to become a sectional leader. Awolowo fought with all his might against a northern establishment that was patterned on the ideals of Feudalism. Northern minorities were either loyal to the Fulani aristocracy or were dealt with ruthlessly. Awolowo fought valiantly against this – forming alliances with Joseph Tarka from Benue and several others. Campaigning heavily in northern territory in his quest to become President of Nigeria, promising free education and a more equitable form of government. But Ahmadu Bello could not understand why everyone wouldn't just stick to their own territorial base and let others advance at their own pace. For Ahmadu Bello, the title Sardauna of Sokoto was more valued than being Prime Minister.
By 1979, advances had been made – Shehu Shagari was not your feudal lord neither did he have blatant religious ideals. With inroads from the likes of Abubakar Rimi and Balarabe Musa who brought populist/progressive ideals to the north, the glass ceiling was cracking – politicians from the south and the north seemed to have found enough common ground to be able to sit at the same table as equals..even if corruption was one of the unifying factors.
Until the Coup of 1983.
The country returned to another era of ethnocentricism that would culminate in the death of a democratically elected MKO Abiola. The same men who had managed to forge the old alliance of balance had grouped together under G-34 as northern leaders finally decided to join in the push against dictatorship – Abacha had become a threat not only to the Kudirats, Suliats, Rewanes and Obasanjos of the South, but also to the Yar'Aduas and Dasukis of the North.
And so it was that after 16 years of military rule, Olusegun Obasanjo, a compromise candidate, liked more by those outside his own tribe than by those within (Bola Ige, his good friend, was an exception), became the President. The North dared him on Sharia and though Uncle Bola huffed and puffed, Obasanjo was never going to let himself be drawn into a battle with that northern establishment that had brutally hacked down many of its own for showing weakness. Having agreed (like Jonathan would) to be President for only one term, Obasanjo managed to beat the north at its own game of power by promoting many northerners as his likely successors and earning their support for his second term.
With one final move in 2007, Obasanjo placated the northern establishment and the Yar'Adua political family while also placating the Niger-Delta. But fate stepped in and the Niger-Deltan became President…breaking the back of an establishment that felt it was Born To Rule.
Fate may bring you into position but only self can grow you into a position – Goodluck Jonathan failed to grow into the Presidency and an alliance of the oldest surviving and newest over-reaching power brokers saw him out. At the arrowhead of that alliance was a familiar figure from the December 1983 coup.
So we are here again: having to explain to compatriots why organs of state should protect freedom of expression rather than prevent me from giving my dog a bad name because someone may feel offended. Having to watch as the entire security machinery, both of force and intelligence, military and espionage is concentrated in the hands of people from the same section of a country, in a multi-ethnic state. Fulani herdsmen now seem to be a law to themselves – while the state by its silence continues to encourage them. A bill to establish grazing routes or ranches all over the country for their benefit is being considered.
To be fair, I note with joy, admiration and respect, a few northern voices continue to call out the present regime of Ethnocentrism for what it is – the First Lady of one core Northern state tries valiantly to explain to me that some things are no longer just possible. From seeds like these must the oak of nationhood grow.
And last night, presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu gave another inkling into the thinking of Aso Rock. Try if you can, to first ignore the information that our president's first page of visit in the daily newspapers is the cartoon section which provokes a good laugh. Then think more to see that he just doesn't get it.
He doesn't get that the ethnic region a president comes from in Nigeria feels a greater sense of entitlement to the use of state power, unless a clear and consistent signal from the president himself is sent to them. He doesn't get it that other ethnic regions feel at the mercy of the ethnic region in power unless a president takes steps towards inclusive governance.
I've once watched Mr. President on national television at a national event hosted in the north end his written-in-English speech with several minutes of speaking in Hausa…not a big deal for many but such instances reinforce certain feelings of dominance and inferiority in different ethnic groups.
I refuse most days to dignify such discussions with any form of attention, so long as sane voices continue to speak against ethnocentrism. I do not want to fight the same battles that our political fathers fought – that why I readily understood the significance of those lines from that song – that's why this is a knock on heaven's door.

Hi! Charynn from Pineapple Paper Co. here again! Over the last few weeks, I have shared how I use the Cricut Explore Air 2™ Special Edition Martha Stewart Machine Bundle, available exclusively at Michaels, to plan and create parties.
So far, I have shared: a birthday invitation made with a variety of Cricut cutting materials, an easy "Celebrate" party banner with Iron-on, and simple table decor like personalized napkins with Iron-on. All of the projects included in this party use the exclusive Martha Stewart designs in Cricut Design Space as well as Martha Stewart branded Cricut cutting materials.
Last week I shared the party napkins personalized with Iron-On, simple toppers for drink glasses, and these adorable cake toppers made using Cricut pens and cardstock:
I made so many different projects with the Martha Stewart Cricut Explore Air 2 for this party!
With your purchase of a Martha Stewart Cricut Explore Air 2, you get access to 25 exclusive projects and designs created for Design Space. There are also a TON of additional Martha Stewart images available that can be used to create a gorgeous party.
This week, it's all about party favors! Simple party favors for your guests can be made really special using your Cricut machine.
I love using cupcakes as party favors - it's something simple that your guests can take home that they may not have had a chance to eat at the party. Even if you don't want to bake, you can dress up store-bought cupcakes with Cricut-made toppers and cupcake wraps! Your guests can place the cupcake in a small bag and they have a take-home treat.

Competitive action returned to Dundalk after a long Covid induced break on Thursday last, when Cuchulainn CC hosted the Louth Hill Climb Championships. The championships were held on Jenkinstown Hill, which is 1.7km long, with an average gradient of 8% and has 136m of elevation gain.
The biggest surprise of the night was when under 14 rider Rhiannon Dolan of Cuchulainn CC won the ladies event in a time of 7min 38seconds. She had 8 seconds to spare over local triathlete Lorraine Dunne
Up to 15,000 Hong Kongers could relocate to Co. Louth if the development gets the green light.
Plans to build a new city for thousands of Hong Kong residents in Co. Louth have taken a step forward.
It's proposed that up to 15,000 Hong Kongers would relocate to a newly built development called "Nextpolis" near Dundalk over the next five years.
The development would take place on a 50 square kilometre area of land, making it the country's fifth largest city.
The Irish Independent also reports that Chinese billionaire Ivan Ko, chief executive of the Victoria Harbour Group (VHG), is set to visit
Italian Filippo Giovagnoli, the shock successor to departed Dundalk boss Vinny Perth, has described his new role as a "kamikaze mission" and urged friends to "pray" for him.
The news that Giovagnoli is set to arrive on a short-term deal has left players and staff at the League of Ireland champions scratching their heads.
He will be assisted in his first senior management role by his compatriot Giuseppe Rossi with the duo having worked together at a New York junior soccer academy.
Giovagnoli (49) spent his playing career in the Italian lower leagues, but coaching commitments have taken him to America where he worked
His ambition is, of course, to engineer victories, something there is pressure on him to do from day one due to the fixture list he has been handed. Getting to the European Championships is a particular goal, however.
"I think that we have to achieve something extraordinary," he says of the play-offs. "We have got to get extraordinary results; win away in Slovakia and then win away in Bosnia or Northern Ireland, win two matches back-to-back against significant nations which we have not done in many, many years. We have not looked like doing it but we must do everything that we can to
Kicking off on August 1st, SEEK Contemporary Urban Arts Festival is gearing up for a colourful return to Dundalk next month. Due to run for a total of eight days, the town will turn into an outdoor art gallery of sorts – one that can be enjoyed by both locals and visitors.
A number of largescale street art exhibits have been programmed for public spaces in the heart of the city with SEEK 2020 promising to carry on the successful legacy of last year's festival. Now in its second year, this year features an exciting line-up of national and international artists including Aches, Omin,
Louth County Council are set to roll out new social distancing measures in Dundalk town centre next week which will ask people to walk in a one way flow as a temporary measure to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
While key areas such as the Market Square, Clanbrassil Street and Earl Street will remain two way for pedestrians, new one way systems are being applied to Crowe Street, Francis Street, Park Street, the Long Walk, Dublin Street, Market Street and the Ramparts to name but a few.
Under the new system pedestrians will be asked to stay on the left hand side of the
The health experts are confident that they are getting some control on this disaster with the strict restriction controls on movement we have all had to get used to over the past number of weeks.
The Irish public have played their part in the pandemic battle and have shown strict adherence to the controls. If there are any positives to be learned, the bravery of the public is one that shines out.
The nurses, doctors, carers, paramedics, ambulance crews, fire services, pharmacies, supermarkets and many other groups have been outstanding in the pandemic war. They are all heroes, as are many others, including the
Rape Crisis North East is inviting you to come and visit their Pop-up Shop on Tuesday 31st March to Saturday 4th April 2020 in the Long Walk Centre, Dundalk.
This is a great opportunity to dispose of some of your used equipment and bits and pieces and perhaps purchase some other much needed items. Buy a gift for someone special, or just treat yourself, and support your local charity. It will be much appreciated.
All proceeds will go directly to Rape Crisis North East Clg. to provide a much needed counselling and support service to the increased number of Women, Men and Young People
The organisers of this year's St Patrick's Day events in Dundalk have taken the decision to postpone the festival due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
In a statement to the Democrat, Cllr. Conor Keelan said the decision was made in the "interest of public health".
The statement said: "Following careful consideration this morning the Dundalk St. Patrick's Day Committee have decided to postpone the events scheduled to take place in the town centre on March 16 and 17. We appreciate that this decision will disappoint many people but in the interest of public health and to ensure that the spread of Covid-19 is minimised
