SF MusicTech Summit notes
I attended the SF MusicTech Summit. Here are my notes.

You've got 7 seconds to impress your audience
Getting first impression is easy.
Getting second impression is hard
Music is still created like it was 1999
Devices, Deals & Music
Darryl Ballantyne - LyricFind, President & CEO
rights and content for song lyrics; own iphone app too
Jeff Sass - Myxer, VP of Business Development

Moderator: Dave Ulmer - Sr. Director Multimedia, Motorola
games, music, video
How do you make money:
- Darryl : license with publishers - share revenue;
ad supported; subscription; user does not pay
Used by shazam, pandora, rhapsody, music.com
- Jeff: adds supported; premium ala cart
Go direct to audience:

6 billion dollars - what was spent on virtual goods purchased in china in 2009
Social listening: who is listening to this same song?
what else do they listen to?
- mobile music:
more than listening
interacting with artist
ring tones
who else is fan?
direct connection with artist
Music consumption is higher than ever.
No longer about selling a circular piece of plastic.
No longer about selling a single MP3.
Buy track, games, ringtones...
Sell a week with hanging out with artists.
Democratization: all ideas available to ANY artist.
It is not feasible for LyricFinder (and other services) to work with each
artist. Therefore, artist should be part of a collective.

Maureen Droney - Sr Executive Director, Producers & Engineers Wing, The Recording Academy
Ron Suarez - LoudFeed, CEO & President
Stephen White - Vice President, Product and Content Management
Moderator: Michael Papish - Media Unbound, CEO & Co-Founder
- What artists, releases, instruments, labels
- Concise amount of data - not everything
- Fan entered - peer review
- Each piece has unique identifiers
- creative commons - open data
- crowdsourcing
Maureen: why is metadata useful
- initially iTunes missing liner notes - who did it
- metadata is how you get paid
Ron: how to use metadata to make money
- artist control content/metadata
- tour/concert information
- photo, liner notes
- if one photo use this one, if three use these, 30 second spots
- artist/label/manager enter info
- gracenote
- aggregate and curate data
- factual content (who, what)
- descriptional content (mood, tempo, genre)
- ISRC : flaw: not-unique: self-assigned so duplicate labels
: many releases do not have ISRC labels
- is ISRC salvageable?
: not a technical problem
: social problem
- gracenote and musicbrainz each have own ID solution
Universal IDS are good
How do we get paid?
How do we archive?
How do we organize?
Sound Exchange for online radio
- How do you say what you played? Needs identifier.
- Stations are sending text (word, pdf) descriptions - not IDs
Who owns the data
- musicbrainz thinks facts are open
- lyrics and cover art are not open
- gracenote has licensed the data
- Standardization of metadata
- Get people to use standard
- Gracenote: structure of DB is copyrighted but not data in the DB
Ron Suarex is about to open source their codebase

E.G.,: reviews on youtube can show on your site
- Why reinvent flickr when you can leverage it
- Data coming in is hard.
- Redundant, hard-to find or non-existent input sources
- Asked concert promoters to give data.

Destination versus Funnel
- make artist life easier - not fan facing
- useful tools for bands
- twit.fm
- APIs on top of APIs
- which do you want: the cover of rolling stone or techcrunch?
- what data do we need?
- important: how to differentiate front end / back end use
- big: ability to have artists engage audience
- big change in last 2 years: services can be built and used quickly
playdar API
Lee : dream API

- get streaming music api
source of data
- fans, labels, artist, APIs, scraping
- base of operation: artist web site: homebase
- but want it to spread to other places
- can't control but can orchestrate
- post once, publish everywhere
- it's the overlaps that are interesting
- APIs provide the possibility for overlaps
Do authorization walls make data mashups hard?
Build your website on top of your API - you are the first user.
Twitter sells data from their API
Facebook gets people back to their site via API
What do you give away? What do you charge for?

For MLB, More Might Be Merrier
The Major League Baseball regular season has wrapped, leaving us with eight teams vying to be World Series Champion. Of all the major team professional sports, Baseball's season is the purest test–a long 162 game grind with just a few playoff spots available. In MLB, only 27% of the clubs make it to the second season. Contrast that with the NFL (where 38% make the playoffs) and the NBA (where more than half the teams play on–and the others, presumably, get participation trophies) and one can truly appreciate the accomplishment it is for a team to qualify for Baseball's championship tournament.
But as laudable as this purity is, I think the good of the game requires that MLB add a fifth team in each league to the post-season mix. I don't think Baseball compromises itself with 10 playoff teams–that's still just 33% of the overall field, still more select than either the NFL or NBA.
The reason I suggest this is because Baseball is getting swallowed up in September by the start of the NFL season (not to mention all the attention given to the opening of NCAA football). MLB needs more teams in the mix, more markets involved in "pennant races" to help stem this tide. Having two more teams shines a brighter light on the sport and allows it to play a more meaningful role on the Fall stage.
Expanding the field wouldn't have to unduly expand the length of the post-season. The way I see it, the two Wild Card teams could square off in a best two-out-of-three series hosted by the club with the better record. It would run Tuesday through Thursday with the series winner opening the next round (a 3 of 5 series) against the division winner with the best record on Saturday. That adds three days to the playoffs, as they presently start on Wednesday.
This season, BOS would have won the second AL Wild Card and would be headed to NY for the three game playoff series. Personally, I could care less about another BoSox/Yanquis match up. (Don't we see them playing each other every weekend all season long already?) But it would be huge for MLB to have two of its flagship teams with national followings squaring off in the post-season when they otherwise wouldn't.
The NL's San Diego/ATL series would have much less national interest, but it would engage another market in the post-season and the race for the final spot would have given a couple of other clubs and their fans reason to remain excited down the stretch.
I don't see a downside to adding a second Wild Card to the MLB playoff slate. But I can see it creating new enthusiasm for Baseball at a time when the sporting public is beginning to look away. Moreover, for fans of teams that are frequently out of the post-season mix, the extra slot would provide another reason to hope, and as Commissioner Bud Selig as noted, hope is what being a fan is all about

TEAR IT DOWN. My GOD, how obvious does it have to be? Some great times and good arts-work came out of the place, if you like that sort (many sorts!) of things - but THAT TIME IS OVER and it ISN'T COMING BACK to this particular pile of stones. TEAR IT DOWN.Hide replies
To replace it with what? An empty lot? There is surplus of those in the area.
There is a bigger issue in play than just some buildings that are in bad shape. That issue is, why is the government acquiring buildings to tear down for the sole purpose of real estate speculation? If a private sector owner bought the buildings to tear them down for parking, there would be no issue. However, if city government without consent of the people is speculating on real estate thats a big problem. If Raettig wants to restore those buildings and has the money to do so, let him do it. But government should not use tax dollars for land speculation.Hide replies
Because it's not about "real estate" it's about new development.
What new developement? The city has no plan for the property. So in other words its real estate speculation with tax payer dollars.
DCD is nothing but a bunch of hacks that couldn't cut it in the private sector playing developer with taxpayer money. The whole thing should be folded.
Why are we in such a rush to create a vacant lot downtown? Are we running out of them?Hide replies
Actually the Old World Third Street area is very popular on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and could use more parking. People are willing to pay for parking. In addition, people are willing to pay for off-street parking for Bradley Center, US Cellular, Milwaukee Theater, Turner Hall and whatever the name now is for convention center since Frontier Airlines has pretty much bugged out of Milwaukee. In the evening, there are not enough places to park in the Sydney Hih area of downtown MIlwaukee. Any one recall a few years ago when some entrepreneurs ran an unauthorized parking operation on the Park East land complete with orange vests, orange flags, carpenter aprons, ability to make change for$10 and $20 bills, etc? Seems the city parking checkers decided to get in on the action, too, by writing tickets o' plenty. Obviously Milwaukee parking checkers are paid in part on comission based on the amount of tickets they write.
If there is a shortage of parking, then why are we not using the 7 acres of vacant land that already exists for parking? This is not about creating a parking lot. This is not about a couple building 'hindering' development. No one has come forward with a development plan that is being blocked by these buildings. Until someone does, or until some comes up with a plan to reuse them (possibly someone has) let them be. Pave the vacant lot next to it and rake in the cash for parking. Use some of the cash to secure the SydneyHih building to keep 'tourists' out and wait it out. Don't rush to create a pile of dirt if we don't have to. If it doesn't, it doesn't work. But it isn't falling down if you read the report. They just say that it is expensive to renovate- not structurally unsound.
rsimms does this building add anything to downtown outside of Blight ? Are you a thinking person
How would those buildings be blighting downtown if they were restored and fixed up. Empty tracks of land in a central business district represents economic failure which is more of a blight and would scare more investors away.
Here is the best plan for this old fire trap of a building. Donate it to the Milwaukee Fire Department training academy for the cadets' final exams along with the MATC and WCTC Fire Science programs' final exams. Have the cadets and students do actual live fire room burns and floor by floor burns under the watchful eyes of their instructors with the experienced firefighters standing by (just in case). Then when the room and floor burns are done have one heck of a bon fire letting the shell burn down.
I suppose the cost of asbestos removal and removal of any antiquated electrical equipment containing PCBs would make this idea cost prohibative. However, asbestos and PCB removal would also run up the cost of demolition, too.
Sidney Hih is the armpit of downtown Milwaukee. Implode it, explode it, bulldoze it - whatever it takes, get rid of it. A pile of rubble is more visually appealing than what is there now.
Knock it down and erect an eternal bong flame to recognize the building's history and cultural contributions to Milwaukee.
It was a fire trap and piece-o-crap back in the 1970's does anyone think it healed itself over the years? Patch after patch after PATCH. Tear that flea trap DOWN!
Detroit has it right. They're buying up trashed homes and buildings and ripping them to the ground. The land will be clear and ready for someone to build new abd better things there, if only businesses are allowed and encouraged to flourish.Hide replies
Wow! I sure you are not advocating Milwaukee to be like the economic failure that Detroit has become. Empty lots with promise of someday being developed into something else is symptoms of economic failure by the leadership of the city. Why should taxpayers continue to subsidize failure to maintain a good business enviroment.

There's something really exciting about music that polarises opinion. Even if it means that you despise listening to it, surely a song you genuinely find offensive to listen to is better than some inoffensive pap that sits back and gnaws away at what decent taste might still remain in mainstream society?
Here are a bunch of songs that are most likely going to make you feel something – whether it be joy or anger – and maybe these strong, emotional vibes sent into the universe will be enough to convince the MOR set to take a look at themselves and start doing something interesting.
DJ Shadow's All Basses Covered Mix
This set was actually the initial inspiration for this blog, so it seems a decent place to start. At Miami's Mansion nightclub last month, the legendary DJ Shadow was approached by club management midway through his set and told that he was to finish playing immediately as the music was not suitable for the environment in which he was playing.
That very set that Shadow had put together on that night has now been posted online and, in my eyes, it's very, very good. A glorious mish-mash of samples from all over the musical spectrum interweave with snippets from film and television and other general oddities that add the kind of colour you expect from an artist as progressive as Shadow tends to be.
But, on the other hand, you kind of see why a rich kid club, as Shadow later referred to Mansion as, would take issue with some of this wild and adventurous fare. I defy you to bring this mix into any number of dipshit electro clubs around our country and, when the shit comes crashing down at around the 26-minute mark, try and escape alive.
But that doesn't make it okay for an artist to be treated the way that he was, in fact it's completely fucked, so I'm glad that the club saw it fit to apologise.
Free Energy – Girls Want Rock
This song starts out with such promise. Do you hear those guitars? Do you hear that synth? The vocal line is passable and the pre-chorus seems to suggest there's something really explosive coming. Sadly the chorus itself is a little limp and doesn't exactly get you pumped up to hear it a second time (or a third) and despite there being a great guitar solo and a rehash of that killer intro, it just seems like a big fat pile of wasted opportunity.
Yes, Free Energy's Girls Want Rock threatens to be a complete rip-off of The Cars, but it just peters off into being unremarkable. But you can't deny that this is a song some people are going to hate; it's so clean and fun and cheesy and it wants to be The Cars so very, very much and that's going to be a bitter pill for a lot of people to swallow.
On the other hand, some kids are going to slam the crap out of this song at their summer pool parties as they crack bottles of passion pop and make out and snort lines of their parents' valium (I'm only guessing this is what happens, I've never been invited to a pool party as I'm the kinda guy who swims with his shirt on).
The band's second LP Love Sign is out soon. You can stream it at Rolling Stone's website now. It'll make you super happy or super angry. I wonder what Ric Ocasek thinks?
Bring Me The Horizon – Shadow Moses
I'll admit it; I loved (and still love) this British band's 2010 LP There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let's Keep It A Secret, though I can't fathom why. It's dumb, sterile metalcore that tries to incorporate all kinds of subtlety and technicality but, really, just bludgeons your ears with silly synth sounds and complex rhythms that lead into quite straightforward hardcore songs with silly, juvenile lyrics. But I fucking love it.
I was excited to hear Shadow Moses, the first single from the band's forthcoming LP Sempiternal and, sure enough, it's another big fat punch in the face that screams style over substance. Yet again, I really like it and, yet again, I cannot tell you why. The big gang vocals that proclaim "we're going nowhere", the ridiculous synthetic strings that provide the bed to Oli Sykes' opening refrain and the huge guitars that play something resembling a riff spluttering along like an outboard motor on a beat up tinny are far from brilliant, but they somehow come together to provide something very enjoyable.
There's no middle ground on this song, you'll either love it or hate it. I completely understand both sides of the coin, too.
David Bowie – Where Are We Now?
I think I've already said enough. Needless to say, I love Bowie (like everyone should) but Bowie being boring fucking pisses me off.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony – Foe Tha Love Of $$$ (Durkin Remix)
If you want to polarise, remixing an old classic tune and putting a modern spin on it is a great way to win a bunch of new fans and a whole stack of people who hate your guts. I heard this remix of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's awesome 1995 tune Foe Tha Love Of $ done by Bostonian producer Durkin this week and I had to admit that I was really impressed by the way it was made to sound like it was a completely fresh, new song. Having said that, I'm expecting fans of the song from back in the day to be incredibly pissed as the spacey, dreamy rerub of this track completely strips it of its considerable mid-'90s production charms and it makes the song sound about 500 times less tough.
If it gets people to watch this film clip again (it had been at least ten years since I last saw it) then it absolutely has to be a good thing.
I do hope 2013 has been treating you well. Email or tweet me if you have songs you want to see on this blog.
This week's new sets include tunes from locals Little May (our Album Of The Week), Art Vs Science, Dan Kelly and Boy & Bear, plus releases from Tom Jones, The Decembrists and Mayday Parade.

Bain Capital wants your blood. Literally.
Don't know about you, but I thought we had nothing left to privatise. But it appears we do… our nation's blood supply. It's not much, you know, it's just blood, which people use for transfusions and stuff. Saving lives, that kind of thing.
So it's kind of important, blood. Blood plasma. I don't know, I'm no scientist, but blood's pretty important, and you really should want a degree of CONTROL over it. You don't want some numpty in control of your country's blood supply, you want someone who will a) look after it and b) not piss it up the wall.
It was trundling along nicely until now, you see. It was just blood. A bloody supply. For people who needed it.
But if you're a Tory, it's not bloody supply, it's money supply. Blood wasn't making enough money, so we should sell it all off. To Bain Capital. Yeah, you remember, Bain Capital, started by Mittens Romney, he of the hairgel and the shit Presidential campaign, he of the asset stripping, mass redundancies and corporate cockyoghurt.
Bain Capital don't really do blood, or at least, they didn't use to, until now. Now they do blood. The government could have sold to a healthcare company in the UK, of course, but they chose not to. They chose Bain Capital because, I don't know, let's speculate, Bain Capital offered more money? Or did Bain Capital put forward the tantalising offer of more spanking sessions with an orange and a gas mask?
There has to be something behind it, because these Tories – in their drive to privatise everything that moves – are making some pretty odd choices. And the people they're selling to obviously know how to seduce Tories. An orange, a gas mask, and a whip. Works every time. Just speculating, I'm not saying that's how Bain Capital got its filthy hands on the UK's blood supply, I'm just speculating that maybe, somehow, they offered spanking, an orange, and a gas mask.
So as I say, I'm no expert in science and shit, but Lucy Reynolds is – she's, like, really high up in The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and she said these words:
"Plasma supplies have a long record of being operated on a not for profit basis, using voluntary donors where all the necessary checks take place. The difference with a commercial firm is that they will want to have as many donors as possible and be looking to secure large profits first and foremost.
"This amounts to the government abandoning UK blood products users to the tender mercies of the cheapest supplier."
What Lucy fails to appreciate is that everything has to make a profit. Silly Lucy. Silly, not-for-profit Lucy. Silly, not-for-profit, innocent little Lucy, living in her world of not-for-profit, hahaha, shall we all laugh at silly Lucy and her UNREALISTIC lefty world where people do stuff without thinking about PROFIT? Let's point at her and laugh at her, or maybe, let's discredit her in the press. Seems to be the way things are done these ways <cough> fracking <cough>,
Let's not assume that this is isolated, it's just part of the US's drive to open up the entire European healthcare market as part of those 'secret' trade talks. The premise is this – the US wants our healthcare market, and we have to bend over and take it. The Hospital Corporation of America is already running three joint NHS "ventures".
But hey, people of the UK, there's nothing you can do about it. Bain Capital have your blood, the Americans have your hospitals, and they're only going to have more of it. Sorry.
We could, of course, revolt against it. Let's make it a bloody battle, shall we?

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Chris Johnson cut by Tennessee Titans by Ben Eagle Email Posted: Fri Apr. 4, 2014 Updated: Sat Jun. 14, 2014 Chris Johnson is expected to draw interest from the Jets, among others. (Simon Bruty/SI)Chris Johnson's time in Tennessee is over. The sixth-year back was released by the Titans Friday after six years with the team. Adam Schefter was one of the first to report news.The move comes as little surprise. The Titans have been trying to trade Johnson for a few weeks, and his release suggests there was little interest on the trade market. Johnson was set to count $8 million against the cap in 2014, a figure that certainly hurt his trade value. He reportedly said he would not re-negotiate his deal in Tennessee.MORE: Possible landing spots for Chris Johnson | SI64: SI's top 64 prospects in 2014 NFL draft"As an organization, we want to thank Chris for his contributions to the Titans," GM Ruston Webster said in a statement. "Chris produced many memorable moments, broke franchise records and was durable over his six year career with our team. … We made an effort to trade Chris but were unable to do so."We wish Chris the best and thank him for the six seasons he spent with us."Johnson, who has rushed for 7,965 yards in six years in the NFL, is expected to draw interest from the New York Jets, New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. The Jets have the second-most cap space, giving them the edge on other suitors.A speedy back who still owns a share of the combine record for the fastest 40 time, Johnson remains a home-run threat, but he averaged a career-worst 3.9 yards per carry last season.

Last week our dear friends Brad + Jenna asked us to come over for dinner. You may remember these two from Grant and I's wedding party photos [AKA the cute couple]. Now, Brad + Jenna are newlyweds and we were so excited to see their new "place". You see, they live on a boat in Newport Harbor, so we had dinner on a boat! How cool is that?! On top of that, they both work for amazing non-profit organizations. Brad is one of the original Krochet Kids, and Jenna works with 31 Bits. These two are amazing inside and out. Yes, yes we are friends with the coolest couple ever. Can I get a badge or something? haha
Anyways, I love our time with these friends so much I brought my camera along and got a few quick snaps before the sun went down. Sliders, sunset, and their adorable pup Ernest Hemingway.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
The news the other day that one-fourth of Clayton County is already covered in concrete or asphalt got me to thinking as Earth Day passed quietly.Will we one day go down to Atlanta to visit a tree in a museum? Will our great-grandchildren one day be sitting around the condo and say seriously? "Grandpa, tell me what dirt is again." One of the greatest presidents who ever lived was Teddy Roosevelt. Forget the fact that he's responsible for Teddy bears, which I collect. Forget the fact that he is a character in a wonderful Caleb Carr historic novel, "The Alienist." This rugged outdoorsman, who turned to nature to toughen himself, had the foresight to say: Hey, this great outdoors is wonderful but one day greed is going to make a lot of it vanish and we have to set aside some park land. When he became president in 1901, Roosevelt established the U.S. Forest Service and signed the 1906 Antiquities Act, which allowed him to proclaim 18 national monuments. He also obtained congressional approval for the establishment of five national parks and 51 wildlife refuges and set aside land as national forests. The area of the United States placed under public protection by Theodore Roosevelt totals approximately 230 million acres. Others have some foresight also. Look at Central Park in New York City and Piedmont Park in Atlanta. Both are little islands of green and birds and water in a sea of concrete and steel. Greed is a horrible thing and it is going to make our lives more and more miserable in coming decades. We look at a beautiful pasture with wild flowers growing and we see a work of art by the Creator. Developers look at that same pasture and see $40,000 a condo profits and asphalt roads winding through expensive lots. Developers look at zoning with two units an acre and say to officials: If you will give me a variance I can cram four units an acre on this site. Ambition is a wonderful trait because it is the pursuit of a goal with tenacity. Greed is ambition unchecked. That is why people like President Roosevelt had such foresight to say no. I don't care how much you are offering. This bit of nature is not for sale. All of us have found little enclaves of sanity in which we freeze time for a half hour to watch bees working flowers or a bird building a nest. And then we stop there a year later and to our horror bulldozers are plowing nature under for a new development. If we have failed as a society, we failed in the fact that every city council, county commission and state lawmaker was not doing year in and year out what Roosevelt did, set aside one more acre of public land. As I was growing up this concern for the environment was mocked by large segments of the population. People were called tree huggers. Now as acre after acre is paved over, even the average person is starting to question the wisdom. The human psyche was not designed to be shoved and shouted at and intruded upon constantly without a break. We cry out for a little quiet, a little respite. The problem is that with more and more people and less and less open space we are turning the quiet places into noisy ones. There are still little quiet spots of beach in the world in which you can sit and listen to the water lap the shore, an occasional bird calling overhead. Then there is Myrtle Beach, where all the annoyances and noise of the subdivision has been moved to the sand. I wish I could say that things will get better as we push forward into the 21st century. The truth is enjoy it while it is here because more asphalt is coming.

By Brian Young
I am a Friend called to pastoral ministry who values the older understanding of vocal ministry that prevailed before the pastoral system, and which many Quakers still uphold. I became part of a Friends church as a young adult, and that programmed meeting was the community in which my faith in Christ Jesus was formed; but my first experiences of Quakerism were in the unprogrammed tradition, in my childhood and youth.
In that first part of my life, I had almost no acquaintance with formed, vocal prayer. I must have heard adults pray aloud during meeting for worship every once in a while when I was a child, but not so that it made an impression on me. At Quaker gatherings, I took part in the traditional moment of silence before a meal or a meeting, but I do not think I really understood those interludes as prayer. So when I encountered vocal prayer as a young adult, it was in great and bewildering abundance. It was like being confronted with a new language. Over the course of years, I did absorb the grammar and vocabulary of vocal prayer, and eventually began to practice it myself.
In my service as a pastor, there are any number of occasions when vocal prayer is called for, and by now I have grown accustomed to finding the words that seem appropriate. At times I worry that I have grown too accustomed, too reliant on my facility with words, too pleased with the way that I seem to be able to assemble phrases and make them work together. I encounter a predicament when I rise to pray at the end of open worship in our meeting on Sunday: Whose words am I speaking? Are they coming from me only? Is there anything of God in them?
One way out of this predicament — one which likely occurs to most of you reading this — is to stop the words. Many Friends simply leave the words unsaid when they are unclear about whether they have been given by God's Spirit. I am privileged to serve a meeting whose members are equally comfortable with both silence and speaking, and who would not be disturbed if no prayer came at the time that the bulletin said there was supposed to be one.
In the outward silence, sometimes it is still necessary to focus inwardly on words. When I am unsure of my own words, sometimes I need to hear someone else's; in times like these, the words that best describe both the place I find myself in, and the place I know I need to be, are the words of scripture.
Many years ago, in a meeting of a small Friends worship group, I was introduced to "monological" prayer, a Christian practice that goes back much farther than the Quaker movement. It has its roots in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, and is said to have first been practiced by the desert mystics of the second century. Because of that history, some Friends may be suspicious of it, but in its simplicity and its emphasis on scripture, I feel that it is a worthy companion to our waiting worship.
Monological prayer involves choosing a word or phrase short enough that it can be recited within the space of one cycle of breath — the fewer words the better. I repeat the phrase inwardly to myself, inhaling and exhaling, in an unhurried fashion. I continue praying the phrase, concentrating on each word, but taking care neither to rush through nor belabor any part of it. Over time, I may find that a particular word stands out, or that the words come into changed relationships with one another, revealing something new of the source which gave them forth. I often practice this method as a means of centering, for perhaps five or ten minutes at the beginning of open worship. At times I find I need to return to it in the midst of the silence for a longer time.
There are a few brief phrases from the Bible that I have used as monological prayers at various points in my life. The classic of the Orthodox tradition, sometimes known as the "Jesus prayer", is "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." This is an augmented version of the prayer of the tax collector, as recorded in Luke 18:9–14. Jesus values the simple, honest words of the tax collector over those of the self-justifying Pharisee — important to remember for someone given to piling up lots of fancy words, like me!
Another is "I do believe; help my unbelief." These words, from Mark 9:14–29, are those of a desperate father seeking healing for his son, who is tortured by an unclean spirit. The man is in crisis; no one has been able to help. And yet, Jesus says, "Everything is possible for one who believes." The man's response has become an important prayer for me at various times in my life. More times than I can count, I have found myself in a state of simultaneous clearness and doubt. At times, these few words are the only thing I can pray. I believe that I knew this prayer even before I was well-acquainted with this particular Gospel story.
In recent months, I have been drawn to the opening phrase of Psalm 51, "Have mercy, O God, according to your unfailing love." The traditional understanding is that King David wrote these words after being convicted by Nathan of murder and adultery. A plea for mercy similar to the prayer of the tax collector, this Psalm also expresses trust in the unfailing love of God, the loving kindness with which God remembers us, even when we go badly astray.
There are countless other parts of the Bible suitable for this practice. Immediate, heartfelt words of prayer and petition may be the best, as when people in need cry out in the Psalms or the Gospels. It could also be useful to explore some of the many expressions of praise and thanksgiving.
When our own words fail or are false, we need not fret. The words of scripture can help us find the Word that speaks to our conditions, by the same Spirit that gave those words in the first place.

Very Strange Unzip Issue with The Unarchiver
I'm not sure if this is an issue with the way the Todoist Mac app is zipped or if it's an issue with the app "The Unarchiver" which I used to unzip Todoist, but I wanted to report the issue so you guys can look into it. I'm reporting this to The Unarchiver team too.
There's an app that's quite popular called The Unarchiver. It's on the Mac App store and as a standalone install. This is the link to the app store version in case you want to contact them: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12
I downloaded the Todoist Mac app today, getting the file Todoist.app.zip and when I double-clicked it to unzip, The Unarchiver kicked in and did the unzipping work. The extracted Todoist.app file was broken (you can see the icon in the attached). When I ran it, OS X said it can't be run because it's damaged or incomplete (also attached).
Strangely, when I unzipped the same Todoist.app.zip file using OS X's built-in Unarchiver, the app looks and works fine.
Normally I wouldn't bother reporting this, but I know a lot of people who use The Unarchiver and wanted to make you guys aware. I've never run into this before, so I'm not sure what's causing the issue.
Maybe this will help someone else too.
Other than that, thank you for the fantastic product!
All responses
Hi Shane,
Thank you for making us aware, but it would indeed seem to be an issue on their end, since it does un-archive just fine otherwise. If somehow, the way we zip up our app file, is causing an issue with the App, please let us know and we will look into it.

Here is one of those photos, Prasatrin and Torakris, engaged in some serious discussion:
I know we're cute and all that, but did you have to post that picture? Surely there are cuter ones!
Thanks to the organizers for putting the weekend together. I'm still in the process of putting my pics up on flickr, and of putting my thoughts together on the weekend, in general. Will post more when both are in place.

Endpoint Protection Cloud - Definitions Update
Comments 15 Comments • Jump to latest comment
If you don't get answer for this, I would check the admin/getting started guides:
Please click the "Mark as solution" link at bottom left on the post that best answers your question. This will benefit admins looking for a solution to the same problem.
You might want to swtich forums over to the cloud managed endpoint forum, the folks over there can most likely advise best. Can't work out how to switch you over there automatically, sorry
Hello Lukas,
Can you check the time when defs were loaded and when systems rebooted?
Open the SEP cloud on the clien machine
click on view history
in SHOW, use the drop down to select Liveudpate.
check that time with the system reboot time.
The only time it would reboot is when patch is applied. If you apply the patch then reboot is needed.
You may want to ring up support.
I can't believe a reboot would be required to load new defs. Never seen this before in previous versions, this could be a disaster.
Please click the "Mark as solution" link at bottom left on the post that best answers your question. This will benefit admins looking for a solution to the same problem.
Hello Lukas,
The following information was found in the New Alerts section of the hostedendpoint portal.
Wednesday, February 12, 2014 11:51:35 AM (High Importance News)
SEP SBE 2013 Security Agent UpdateOn February 18th, we will release the latest version of our security agent (ver. 20.4) for new deployments of your Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 2013 cloud-managed service. The new agent updates the cloud agent with our latest threat protection technologies.
Existing deployments will be updated using LiveUpdate. If you are using a redistributable package, you will need to recreate a new package to deploy the 20.4 version to your endpoints.
For any questions, please contact the Customer Support Team: email@example.com
The Symantec Customer Communications Team
It seems like this may relate to your issue, but I'm not sure how you would be getting the update before tomorrow. You may want to contact .cloud support at 1-866-807-6047. As long as you have active clients on your machines, you should be able to get a case created.
I also wanted to point out a setting in your .cloud policies. If you access the policies page and look at the policies under Global > System, you will see the system policies. If only the Default System Policy is present, you won't be able to make changes until you add a new policy. Once you are in a policy other than the default, look for the section marked "Live Update Schedule". This section allows you to configure the time of day that a software update may be performed, or to disable it. (This does not affect virus definitions and if this option is set to disabled, it will still automatically update after the software has been made available for a period of 30 days. Please plan accordingly.)
Best Regards,
Edit: p.s. As Brian indicated, no virus definition updates should cause the system to restart. I would consider reviewing the Windows system event log to determine if the reboot was unexpected, indicating some sort of crash. Support can also assist with reviewing the cause of the reboot.
I have had exactly the same thing start happeneing since installing. Our machines will just randomly reboot with no indication to the user and no oppurtuninty to save. We are a programming house so this could become an issue.
Here is the event that is appearing on all the machines affected so far
Our computers are also rebooting automatically once getting this new 20.4 update. I have narrowed the reboots down to SEP. In the Windows events log it shows The computer has initiated a reboot reason - Legacy API shutdown. When I check the SEP History logs I can see that at exactly the same time the SEP live update session has completed and downloaded the updates.
This has occured on multiple computers on our network and the same results are in the Windows and SEP logs. It is becoming very disruptive. Users have lost work due to computers rebooting automatically without a warning.
Is there a fix or workaround for this?
I currently have a support case logged, after they told me where the log files live I can be pretty much certain its SEP thats doing it as in the logfile created seconds before the restart there is the entry of :
2014-03-03-09-21-37-367 : 0x1570 : Information : force reboot
Hopefully now I've passed this information onto the tech guys they can work on getting a fix out to us.
nacatomi, we've been having the same issues, started end of last week and every day this week we get more reports of it.
Seems to be immediately after users turn on their computer in the morning, 15 minutes later it reboots without any warning.
Some users then proceed to get this happen 3 or 4 times, although usually it's only once.
I've looked around for anything else that could be causing it, and the only thing we've noticed is this Symantec Update going out that prompts for a reboot, although I don't think it's THAT update, but possibly an update after it? Or maybe the update sets a force reboot flag so that from then on Virus Definition updates causes a reboot when previously they didn't.
Trying to find the log files and an entry, something like what you had nacatomi (2014-03-03-09-21-37-367 : 0x1570 : Information : force reboot) would be the smoking gun we can wave at Symantec.
Obviously our users are not happy, and the moment this happens to a Director, we will be in the preverbial.
I can tell you where and what to look for. I have passed this info over to the tech guys and they are looking for a fix apparently.
Anyway to see if its the same issue you need to check the Windows events in the system log. Look for Event ID 1074 with the text something like
nacatomi, thank you very much, that is most certainly helpful, looking for log files, checking the "symantec" folders and even just a search for files modified today I couldn't find anything that had reboot in it.
Completely slipped my mind to look for "Norton".
Yes, we certainly have lots of event id 1074, and exactly that text/description, which I've been Googling and checking forums, articles, and my notes from previous companies/issues, and going over every single startup process (since winnit.exe is the "Start Up Program", and coming up with nothing, the only thing I've been able to say is "Well, there have been some Symantec Cloud updates recently... bit coincidental" to the management, which obviously isn't very impressive, but I have ruled out soo many possibilities in the last week, our patching system, some rogue Windows Update Microsoft have decided to push out, any installations, or system wide program updates, power fluctuations, virus outbreak, etc. etc.
I've justed a laptop of a nearby user that rebooted this morning, and indeed he has a log file:
with the line:
2014-03-07-08-43-29-389 : 0x14A4 : Information : force reboot
which is when he wrote down his laptop rebooted.
I'd be on the phone with them now, except we're in the UK and their phone lines aren't open yet!
Something we are not happy with when it's a global service, should have 24/7 telephone support.
I'm going to try to collate these log files from various computers, this particular user has had it every morning! That way I can see if it's one Hotfix that's struggling on some computers more so than others, or if it's a series of hotfixes. Don't think it's Virus Definitions updates at this point.
Were currently exploring the exact same symptoms at one of our customers.
We have many SMB customers, this is the only one that weve pushed the setup out to all clients with GPO, and its just those in that location who has the problem. It started last tuesday. And now atleast once a week in the morning about 20 minutes after they start working, the computer restarts/shutdown.
Is there any fix for this? Or is our only option to uninstall Endpoint, until this issue is fixed?
Eventlog in Norwegian:
And its Symantec application that initiate the Shutdown.
We have also experienced computers rebooting after an update; this happened twice to the same user - (thanks https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/sites/defa...); padding-right: 27px; margin-right: 3px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 15px; color: rgb(114, 168, 38); text-decoration: none; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-position: 100% -15px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;">nacatomi for posting the info).
We have logged a support ticket to find out if there is a fix.
Just purchased this software - not very happy!
UPDATE - Have now been advised by Support that they are working on a fix. In the meantime they are suggesting that for any affected machine to run the LiveUpdate by clicking on updating the Update Definitions link at the right side of Endpoint Protection screen. May need to do this up to 12 times to get all patches applied. Not sure if this works though.

Very nice!
By VESELINCA
from BRESLAU
I just got this and I like it very much and it is as shown in the picture and solid construction. I use it for my daughter's room as a nightstand and a bookcase where I keep all her books I read to her at night and the night light that I put on top. It looks very nice and is exactly what I needed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
