Top producer RedOne has had hits with dozens of artists, but relies on one man to "finish" tracks like Nicki Minaj's 'Starships': engineer Trevor Muzzy.
In recent years, Nadir Khayat, aka RedOne, has been involved in the writing and production of several dozen international hit songs by the likes of Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, Mika, Nicole Scherzinger, Mary J Blige, Usher, Akon, Nicki Minaj, Alexandra Burke and many others. The Moroccan-born Swede moved to the US in 2006, and currently lives in LA, where he works up his tracks in several studios, aided by Team Red, a group of additional songwriters and producers and one engineer, mixer and occasional guitarist.
The engineer, mixer and guitarist in question is called Trevor Muzzy. Since joining RedOne's team in 2009, Muzzy has worked on almost all the producer's major hits, and was nominated for a 2012 Grammy for his work on Lady Gaga's Born This Way album. This year alone, so far, RedOne has had three major 2012 US and UK hits. Muzzy engineered parts of Far East Movement's 'Live My Life', mixed Jennifer Lopez's 'Dance Again', and recorded and edited vocals for and mixed Nicki Minaj's 'Starships', as well as the other three songs RedOne co-wrote and co-produced on Minaj's recent US and UK number one album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
To RedOne and his team, Muzzy's role is not so much that of a traditional mix engineer, but someone whose job is to "finish" songs. "It is semantics, really, but we use the word 'mixing' less and less, because recording engineers and producers are mixing as they go," explains Muzzy. "The process is very different from even a few years ago, and the lines are increasingly blurred. When you're working with a great producer, you don't start from scratch when you mix one of his or her tracks. You don't want to remove the magic that's already there. A lot of mixers focus on what's bad about a track, but I feel that it's important to focus on what's good already and do my best to enhance that. I think it's the wrong approach to change it just to put your stamp on it. The main thing when you start a mix is to identify the intention of the song and the producer and the artist, and then you take it from there.
"Every song is different, of course. Sometimes finishing a song does mean tweaking it quite a bit. A good example was when I mixed 'On The Floor' [J.Lo's 2011 mega-hit], which had an amazing vibe but didn't quite have a polished mix yet, and Red wanted me to take it to the next level. That did involve a bit of deconstruction, taking it apart and putting it back together again to match the vibe while enhancing the sonics. By contrast, the 'Starship' rough mix was already very good and everybody was happy with that mix, so my job really was to maximise what was already there and to mix Nicki's vocals."
Nicki Minaj's 'Starships' is characteristic of RedOne's production approach, marrying a Euro-dance feel and a four-to-the-floor bass drum with strong, radio-friendly melodies. As is typical of today's hits, the song was written by a large group of songwriters consisting of Minaj (Onika Maraj), RedOne, two other LA-based Swedish producers/songwriters, Carl Falk and Remi Yacoub, and well-known UK song writer Wayne Hector. Perhaps for this reason, the song is made up of several distinctly different sections. An electric-guitar intro played by Carl Falk leads into a rap verse, followed by a sung pre-chorus, the chorus itself, and a breakdown section with vocal and other effects.
Muzzy was not party to the writing, programming and arranging of the song but, once these were done, was asked by RedOne to track Nicki Minaj's vocals. "RedOne is very particular about the way he wants the vocals to sound, so he wants someone to record them who knows his approach. It's a stylistic thing, which inflections to emphasise, small details that help enhance the vocals. All Nicki's vocal tracking was done at Conway Studios in LA, where she had a lockout and was working with her engineer, Ariel Chobaz. I did not want to assume that how he was recording her wasn't working, so I asked him what he had set up, and he told me that there were two vocal signal chains, one being a Telefunken ELAM 251 going into a Chandler TG2 mic pre and then through an Urei 1176 [compressor]. The other was a more traditional Neumann-Neve chain. The 251 chain sounded amazing and worked really well with the 1176, which I don't typically use for cutting vocals. It gave her voice a unique character with a cool edge that wasn't there with the other chain. We cut Nicki's vocals in a day, and I came back and we redid a few things, so you could say it was a two-day process.
"'Starships' has a very elaborate vocal arrangement, and once everybody was happy with the vocal takes and comps, we went to the mix phase, tweaking the production mix, and finishing the song. The song has a lot of dynamics and sections, so there was a lot of potential for maximising what was there. I communicated with both Red and Nicki during the mix process. She is very involved in the process of writing and recording her songs, right up until the last step, and she's also interested in the mix process. Some artists are happy to leave all that to the producer, but she has very specific ideas about how she wants things to sound. The main mix was done here in a day, and after that I went over to Conway, where we went through things with her, and made some more minor adjustments. But with the entire session, other than the vocals, it was just a matter of adding my touch. There wasn't anything that needed rescuing. I'm working with great producers, and the songs they work on are generally already in the right direction by the time I come in to mix them."
"The first step in starting a mix, whether I have an assistant helping me or not, is to organise the session and lay it out in a way that makes sense to me. For me. the most important thing is to group things in sections and colour-code all regions. As you can see in the 'Starships' session, I'll have the drums in red, the guitars in yellow, basses in orange, synths in blue, lead vocals in dark green and background vocals in light green. The pink track is a folder track with the sweeps and transition effects between sections. In this session, I labelled the individual vocal tracks, because the vocal sound changes throughout the songs and things come in and out. So every section has a different channel. I also combined the basses and the synths for each section. In dance music, the separation between bass and synths is increasingly a grey area. Some guys don't even look at the difference any more, as the lines have come completely blurred. But I did mark the basses in orange and synths that are more 'music' sounds in blue, because I find it helpful to separate the main low-end sounds in the track, so I can check how they work together with the kick. In dance tracks, the kick has to hit really hard, and I need to be able to quickly adjust what is happening with the bass sounds to make sure that there's room for the kick.
"In terms of how I approached the mix, when you're working with dance-orientated songs, the first thing that grabs you is the feel of the drums. So I tend to begin with the drums and maximise what's there. I generally start with the kick, and then the snare, and then I listen to how the drums sit together and how the transitions between the different sections are happening. I don't try to get the drums perfect at this stage. Once they're in the ballpark, I'll bring in the basses. As I said, the track was already pretty well mixed and together, so I fairly quickly brought in the other elements, like the guitars and the synths, and then I muted sections, treating the drums as one unit and the synths as a whole unit, and all the time thinking of the big picture. I listen to how the synths are sitting with the basses and how the basses are sitting with the drums, and so on. It's almost like working with stems. After this, I bring in the vocals.
"There are quite a few aux tracks in this session, though when you look at the vocal section in the mix window and see a 'Bus 50' mentioned among the vocal sends, it doesn't mean that I had 50 active aux tracks during the mix! Because I was working in the same session that the song was programmed in, there had been a lot of stuff in terms of bussing instruments and creating effects for them that may not have been in the session anymore. The number 50 indicates only that this many options had been used in total. Instead I probably had between 20 and 30 active auxes in the mix, which is still quite a lot. Many of those were for the vocal treatments. Logic has a function called Save Channel Strip, so when I have created some aux effects that I like a lot, I will save them, so I can pull these up in another session if I feel it will fit. The session itself added up to 142 tracks, which also seems a lot, but then many of the drum sounds, for example, were made up by layering several samples. On the other hand, all the swooshes and filter sounds for the transitions between the sections went into the pink folder [track 50] and all the 'héhé' and 'ooh' and crowd sounds in another folder [109], to tidy up the session."
Drums: Logic Channel EQ, Audio Ease Altiverb
"The drums, which were all programmed, were already sitting really well in this session when I began the mix. Sometimes if the kick is lacking in punch and is swallowed up a bit too much by the bass, you have to really work to give them each their own place in the mix, typically by side-chaining the bass to the kick, and emphasising the punchy areas of the kick with EQ and/or compression. Often, when a track has only one kick sound you have to give it more of its own identity, so it has its place. But in this track that was not a problem. The kick is really punchy, it's a hard dance kick that also has a nice old-school warmth to it. It's a very organic-sounding beat for a dance record, which is a testament to the samples that were picked. Because the kick, and also the snare, were made up of several layered sounds, with one of them giving the body of the sound and another would have a clicky high end, and so on, my work was about balancing the different layers so that they sounded right in the mix, rather than applying loads of effects or EQ.
"The 'Vee claps' track is called that because it uses a sample from the Vengeance Electro sample pack. I balanced the different snare sounds in a similar way as I had balanced the kick layers. I did apply EQ to a couple of the snare layers, just to give them a little bit more identity, like on 'Extra Snare 2', I cut out all the low end and a little bit of the top end as well, so it became just this high-mid click. The rest of the drums were simply a matter of going through each of the sounds, making sure all samples sat well together, and filtering anything that I felt was in the way. All the drums are also going to an aux track with the [Audio Ease] Altiverb on it, to give them some ambience, and that was all."
Bass: Logic Channel EQ, Waves Puigchild 670 and Maxxbass
"This track only has synth basses that have been printed as audio, with whatever effects were used during programming. The main bass in the verses is an analogue bass, like a saw bass, which gets some compression from the Waves Puigchild 670 and a little bit of Logic Channel EQ, plus some [Waves] Maxxbass on the 'Straight Bass' in the chorus. I treated each bass track individually, because they are not working together to make up a single sound, but have distinct properties. But, as with the drums, there wasn't a lot to do for me with the bass. Regarding the EQ, I don't mind using the Logic Channel EQ for some things, as it's quick and easy to use and does a pretty decent job. Otherwise, I lean heavily on Waves EQs, like the plain old Renaissance REQ6, which I use quite frequently. I also like the Waves PuigTec EQP1A, because it adds a different character, and the Softube Trident A-Range EQ has a really sweet sound for guitars in particular. I am a big fan of the Softube line. Their Tube-Tech CL1B is a killer plug-in as well."
Guitars: Waves Kramer PIE and C1, Xfer LFOtool, Logic Space Designer
"You can hear in the intro that there are four guitars: two high guitars, a main one, and a low one, and then the drums kick in. The same guitar parts come in again during the second verse. The guitar sounds were good,, so I didn't do any enhancements on the individual tracks, instead sending them all to a bus [59] where they are treated together by a Waves Kramer PIE and C1 compressors, the Xfer LFOTool and Logic's Space Designer reverb, which was on bus 44. The PIE gave an exaggerated, pumping sound and the C1 is taking out some nastiness round 2502Hz. Rather than EQ'ing it, I tend to 'notch compress' [ie. use dynamic equalisation or frequency-selective compression], which is a Dave Pensado trick that I read about in an interview with him. The LFOtool adds some more pumping with a side-chain feel; it's a really cool plug-in. The Space Designer Nice Plate preset gives the guitars some ambience. I rely on that plug-in quite a lot. That particular setting is a really sweet, very neutral plate sound."
"The situation with the synths in this track was similar to that with the drums and the bass: they were good as they were and the track sounded great, so I didn't do much to them in terms of treatments. The only challenge was carving out enough space for all the synths, and still leaving enough space for the drums and the vocals. I wanted to make sure that all elements had their own equal place in the mix, without killing the power of all the synths. If I have only one or two synths, I often resort to using the Waves Center or the Waves S1 Stereo Enhancer plug-ins to widen them, and use some EQ to boost and cut out some frequencies here and there. But again, as with the drums, I had many choices of synth sounds, each one very distinct, so that it mainly was a matter of balancing and panning them, and applying some general EQ, notching and boosting out some frequencies. The strings were Logic strings and I treated them as part of the synths. They appear at the point where there's a vocoder on the vocals, and the strings purely provide a nice background for that. The focus in that section is not on the strings."
Vocals: Logic Pitch Corrector, Channel EQ and BitCrusher, Waves C1, SSL Channel, Renaissance Channel, De-Esser, Renaissance Compressor, API 2500, CLA Vocals, Doubler and VX1 Maserati Vocal Enhancer, Audio Ease Altiverb, Lexicon PCM Native Reverb
"You can see that the pre-chorus and chorus vocals have a lot of timing and comp edits. They were imported directly from the session I cut the vocals in. I did not merge or consolidate them, they just are the way they are. There's quite a lot going on with the vocals. I tried to create a nice basic vocal sound using the inserts, and once they sat well in the track, most of the sonic variations between the sections came from the sends. There was no tuning on the rapping, but the sung vocals in this track had a fair amount of tuning with the Logic Pitch Corrector plug-in on the inserts. The tuning is part of the sound of the record, with vocals needing to be very, very precise. In some cases, we pitched them up or down for vocal effects. Logic Pitch Corrector is a little harder-sounding than Auto-Tune, but it has its own distinct sound that we liked for the vocals in this track. It really fits the song.
"The other inserts on most of the vocals were all Waves: the C1 compressor, SSL Channel, Renaissance Channel, De-Esser, Renaissance Compressor, API 2500, and the Logic Channel EQ. The C1 compressor is the first in line on several lead vocals, and it does the same Pensado trick I used on the guitars, which is to compress a specific band — in the case of the verse lead vocal, around 2849Hz — focusing on notes that sounded a little harsh. It smooths this problem out more elegantly than using an EQ. Then the signal goes through the R Channel with some basic EQ, cutting significantly at 281Hz. Again, it was a matter of removing some less pleasant things to let the nice aspects shine. I bypassed the compressor in the R Channel. I needed a bit of de-essing, and the Waves De-Esser is a great all-purpose de-esser, in this case working at 5634Hz with the side-chain set to high-pass.
"There were two more compressors on her vocal. There was no science behind this, it was just a matter of experimenting to find a unique sound. The first is the Renaissance Compressor, which I love and which is set to a fast attack time and takes off about 6dB, so quite subtle, not too intense. The API 2500 is set pretty aggressively and you can hear it pumping a little bit on the vocal. It was already in the session — it had been used on the demo vocal. I pulled it over to Nicki's channel and liked what it was doing, so I adjusted it to fit her vocal. Finally, the Channel EQ notches quite a lot around 600Hz and a little bit more around 235Hz, just carving out some low-mids to make the vocal sit better in the track.
"Regarding the sends, there are some really distinct things happening here. The main lead vocal was similar throughout the song, but I tweaked it as it went along. The pre-chorus and chorus vocals all have Bus 1, which went to the same Altiverb effect that I had on the drums, to add some ambience to the vocal. The rap verses are much drier. Bus 35 is the Waves Doubler, which gives a bit of spread to the lead vocal — I used this on the rap as well as on the sung vocals. Bus 4 is the Waves CLA with a drastic telephone effect. That was another effect that was there from the demo version and added a cool quality. Bus 50 is the [Sound Toys] Echo Boy, which is the main plug-in I use for delay throws, whenever I want to repeat a word. In this case it's on a quarter-note Echoplex setting. It's a single, mono echo that I panned a little bit to the side. Bus 7 has the Waves VX1 Maserati Vocal Enhancer, and that was, again, a plug-in I inherited. It is set to a very compressed, bright vocal sound that I brought in and out to add some sparkle to the sound when necessary.
"Bus 6 has the main reverb in the track, which you are hearing in the pre-chorus and chorus, and which is a Lexicon Plate plug-in on the 'VocalPlate2' preset. It's a really bright, over-the-top plate sound that is not trying to blend in but that's actually brightening the vocal up a lot. It's loud and wet. Busses 16 and 29 are different stereo delays: the Waves SuperTap was already in the session and I kept it, and the other is a standard Logic stereo delay that I use all the time on vocals. Bus 3 is the Logic Bitcrusher, which gives the vocals a grainy sound. The vocals already had an aggressive sonic quality to them because of the 251-TG2-1176 chain, and the Bitcrusher enhanced that. It's nasty, there's nothing nice about a bit-crusher, and it adds a bit of attitude. I used it on some of the background vocals as well, like in the second verse, where you have the pitch effects. You can hear it in the very processed harmony vocals that come in. That was something we added when we were doing the final vocal comp and arrangement. It gave that second verse some more life and helped the track build. The background vocals are a very big part of the hook vocal sound as well, and, for example, track 140 has many effects on it. That actually contains the vocals of the demo singers. Nicki's lead and background vocals are dominant, but in the chorus the background vocals from Mohombi and Wayne Hector added to the crowd feeling. The chorus vocals are really big in this track, and they were part of that."
Mix bus: Waves Puigchild & LinMB
"The session was in 24-bit/44.1kHz, and I mixed back into it, with two plug-ins on the two-bus, the Waves Puigchild compressor/limiter and the Waves LinMB multi-band compressor. Generally, I try not to be too intrusive on the two-bus, but when I took the Puigchild away, some of the life went out of the mix — it was adding something sonically unique, and was part of the sound of the track. The Puigchild has a really nice preset for mastering that's giving the two-bus a little bit of pump and excitement in the upper-mids. It helps with the overall energy. The LinMB is set almost like a dynamic EQ, doing some small last adjustments that would otherwise be done with a Waves Lin Broadband EQ. Those two plug-ins were left on for mastering, which was done by Gene Grimaldi at Oasis Mastering. He does a lot of mastering for RedOne's projects. He's respectful to what the mix is supposed to be and does an amazing job of making everything a bit louder without hurting dynamics, and bringing that last little bit of polish to the mix." .
Trevor Muzzy's rise to the top has been remarkably quick. He took up the bass as an adolescent in the Bay Area, before attending a degree course called 'Interdisciplinary Computing In The Arts', with a focus on music, at UCSD in San Diego. (Muzzy: "It was a technical arts programme, a bachelor's degree, with a focus on anything from music theory to engineering to writing VST plug-ins.") During his course, in 2005, he studied for five months in Sweden, but it wasn't until 2009 that he met his current employer.
"A friend introduced me to RedOne," recalls Muzzy. "After the course, I had developed myself further through my general interest in engineering, that I've had my whole life, working on all the different DAWs, and having always been intrigued by the process of making records. I was always driven to study how it was done. My friend knew of my capabilities and I guess that Red must have recognised them, because he immediately hired me, and since then I've worked exclusively for him. Initially, I was doing a lot of vocal engineering and editing, and eventually he also gave me the opportunity to branch out into playing the guitar and mixing. Working with RedOne has given me a chance to work on a lot of exciting music, and I continue to learn from him all the time."
Muzzy travels frequently with RedOne and says that they've been all over Europe, as well as in Morocco, and that he's now worked in every studio in LA. However, home base remains RedOne's original LA studio, which is a typical, minimalist, 21st Century, in-the-box facility, with Adam A7X monitors and a Mac running Logic. "RedOne has always been a Logic guy and is very vocal about that," explains Muzzy. "He loves it, and everyone in his team, whether coincidence or not, likes to work with it. We all use it to keep things on the same page. My own initial attraction to Logic was to do with the power it gave me, compared to a Pro Tools LE setup. The cost of a Pro Tools systems at the time created a big barrier. You could accomplish so much more with Logic on the same computer. Of course, things have changed, but it led me to prefer working with Logic even before I met Red. Logic suits the workflow of Red's team, which involves a lot of programming but also working with many live instruments. Logic allows us to keep the process very fluid and make changes to the sessions right up until with finish the songs."
Muzzy has mixed in several studios in Los Angeles, often using his favourite Adam A7X and Yamaha NS10 monitors, but the four RedOne songs on Minaj's most recent album were mixed in Red One's main room, as well as in Chalice Studio G in Los Angeles. "I do have an out of the box option here [at RedOne 1]," elaborates Muzzy, "which is to mix through an SSL X-Desk that I like to use just for summing purposes. Paired with the Apogee Symphony I/O, it sounds amazing. Sometimes I find that this adds some spatial and dynamic qualities that you can't quite get in the box. But it's not always appropriate or necessary, so much of the time I work in the box. This makes doing recalls and tweaks as quick as possible. Plus, nowadays the plug-ins are so good that I don't lean on outboard for the sonic aspect. I'm also really comfortable doing this with a mouse and a keyboard. There's a MIDI controller here, but I don't use it. When you're travelling a lot, it's a real advantage to be able to be so portable and not rely on specific gear for doing your work."

UFO - Close Encounters #152/10-27-11
- Uploaded by Sjkflm on Nov 4, 2011

The ship (UFO) appears from of nowhere. The most recent encounters the planes will show up before, during and after the event. This location is not by an airport or base, the air traffic is thick the area. The 'sphere" is a controlled object and sometimes it will appear out of nowhere or go in and out. The audio of the wind and the trees moving are important to these encounters. The ship (UFO)also will 'swell' when picking up speed or changing direction and throws the camera out of focus. This has happened many of times throughout the encounters. I have posted close up shots (photos) here on this site. Go to user name and look under photos.

Hi, I am searching for someone to put my idea into a design that could then be presented for production.
I need a design / image to this description.

With a silver / aluminium strip on each side ( all the way around)

1Attitude is everything. If you think the stock market is rigged and everyone cheats, you will have a hard time making money off your hard work. It is hard work and long hours that make the difference. You do not need inside information to make money in the stock market.
2Understanding the catalysts that will drive prices will unlock most of the mysteries of investing. Keep your eyes and ears open in everyday life for 'catalysts.' They show up in malls, the behavior of friends and family, and simple price and volume charts you can get for free anywhere on the web. Catalysts are what give meaning to the two dumbest words on Wall Street — "cheap" and "expensive." Everything is relative.
3High-quality assets could be risky (hello, Apple) and low-quality assets could be safe (hello, Netflix). Expectations matter.
4Leverage is a tactic, not a strategy. This is a life lesson beyond trading and investing. Lance Armstrong would have been left alone if he walked away after three or even four Tour de France victories. He decided to leverage himself to seven wins at all costs and a comeback that was "in your face" to people on the other side of that trade.
5"No" is a magical word. Practice saying "No" a lot — to bad ideas and to ideas that don't work as expected. In investing if is OK to be wrong, it is not OK to stay wrong.
6The school of hard knocks is solid, but learning the smart way matters. Don't be afraid to pay for mentorship and never stop learning. Treat yourself to good equipment as you will spend a great deal of time with it.
7You do not need to be first and you should never be last. Follow the money. The longer you spend learning the language of the market, the better you will get at this. I believe Stocktwits is the best website available to learn the language. I see it every day.
8Most investors will crush two-thirds of the so-called "pros" over time if they simply dollar-cost-average into low cost ETF's. You can do a lot better if you want to.
9The only reason to actively pick stocks is to crush the averages. If you are going to spend time, effort and money on learning how to invest, make sure it is worth it.
10Most great entrepreneurs start a business to solve a problem that hasn't been solved yet. Investors are entrepreneurs, too. They are trying to solve the problem of not being wealthy.

Almost two-thirds of Microsoft SharePoint enterprise users are "disillusioned" with the services provided by the collaboration tool, believing it to offer an "unsatisfactory" performance when it comes to meeting the original brief of what SharePoint was deployed for.
That's according to 'Collaborative Credentials,' a new report by online application developer Mando Group. It was based upon a study among 300 senior IT professionals into whether collaborative SharePoint-based intranets are meeting user needs for information access, sharing and retrieval.
The results don't make positive reading for Microsoft, despite the company having sold SharePoint into more than two-thirds of major enterprises.
"A significant proportion of SharePoint implementations appear to be falling short of management, project management and user expectations, particularly in the fundamental area of information and content access, sharing and retrieval," reads the report, which suggests that 62 per cent of users are disappointed with their return on investment from Microsoft SharePoint.
The report also suggests that users believe that only 71 per cent of the information they want to access through SharePoint is actually findable, while 32 per cent believe the tool doesn't meet the original system brief.
Ian Finch, managing director of Mando Group, was keen to state that the report isn't a criticism of Microsoft or of SharePoint, but the way in which the software has been deployed and used.
"These findings need to be taken in the context of SharePoint's market share, which is impressive. Indeed, they are not a criticism of the product but the method with which it is implemented," he said.
"Delivering a highly functional intranet is a mixture of great design, technical excellence and outstanding people-engagement. The 'human infrastructure' needed to optimise an intranet is where organisations often fall down," Finch continued, arguing that a "helicopter-view of the intranet" is needed for effective delivery.
"With inefficient intranets costing UK businesses £2.7bn annually in wasted staff time, it is essential that organisations improve user experience analysis, and involve key stakeholders to driver intranet development," he added.
Computing contacted Microsoft for comment, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

continued —The administration of five public bidding contracts for the project: general construction, electrical, heating and ventilation, plumbing and geothermal. Since the total project is estimated to cost more than $500,000, the village must advertise for contracts under the mandates of the New York state Wick's Law.
The additional design work and accompanying extra costs are the natural result of a generally-outlined project becoming more detailed as work has progressed, stated steering committee members Hubbard, Trustee Jim Lanning, former Trustee John Cromp and the village's Director of Municipal Operations Bob Lotkowicz.
The steering committee, along with architect Connie Brace of QPK Architects, began the design and planning work for the Fennell Street building renovations in late spring and met weekly during the entire summer. Their design plans included numerous energy-efficient – or green energy – considerations for which multiple grants were applied for to offset costs.
The total bill for phase one of the renovation project – interior renovations – was estimated at the start, and by a different architectural company than the one now on the project, at about $350,000 with phase two being about the same price. The cost is not supposed to exceed the $830,000 sale price of the current village hall building on Genesee Street, the village board announced when the project was first approved.
All four committee members told the Skaneateles Press that they do not expect the total cost to exceed the $800,000 profit from the Genesee Street building sale, and if higher costs are discovered the project will be amended to keep the price tag in line.
Committee members also agreed that final, more definitive costs will not be known until a project budget is established in October and the results of the five contract bids are known in mid-November.
Trustee Mary Sennett, during board discussion on the proposed amendments, said the reason the board created the new village hall steering committee was for its members to create and consider the best way to get the project done. "If they feel these are the right things to do, then I say we trust their judgment," she said.

Setting up URL Rewrites for WordPress under IIS on a Windows Server
A common problem when running WordPress under Windows and IIS is how to handle URL Rewrites. URL Rewrites are usually used with WordPress to format the permalink structure of post URL's in a nice way, and to remove the need for having index.php in every URL. Apache servers handle this with ease using the widely included mod_rewrite plugin, but unless you're running IIS 7+ on Windows, you have no such capability without some 3rd party help.
If you're not already up and running with Rewrites on your Windows Server, download and install ISAPI_Rewite Lite (free), then follow the installation instructions to get going.
Note: If you're running IIS 7 or greater see the IIS Module and instructions.
The remainder of this post will speak to IIS6.
Now that you have the ISAPI Rewrite module installed, you can use the Helicon Config Editor to make changes to your .htaccess file although you probably won't need to just yet. The first thing you'll want to do is to log into your WordPress install and enable the permalink structure you require. This will create an initial, and presumably working, .htaccess file at the root of your install.
- Log in to the Admin section of your WordPress install by going to http://www.yourdomain/wp-admin
- Click on Settings -> Permalinks
- Choose your link structure or enter a custom one
Then click Save to create the rewrite rule. If you get a permission error, you'll need to grant read/write/execute permission to the account you have PHP running under (i.e. Network Service). Once you are successful, test out your site by navigating to the blog home page and then click on a single post. If it loads and the URL looks like your desired structure, you're in business.
This process should have resulted in a .htaccess file that looks similar to the following
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
If you run into an issue where your having trouble reaching the wp-admin page after setting up your Rewrite rules, have a look at Correcting wp-admin 404 error for wordpress under IIS.

+1 for refurb... If the service announcement from Nikon hasn't affected the supply/demand, and you're not in a hurry, look to see if Cameta or Robert's has any more fire sale refurbs on eBay. I got mine in October for $1350... which at the time was $200-300 under used auctions but I had to watch like a hawk because I missed two auctions before I snagged mine. If you're concerned about shutter debris/oil, you can read the whole spectrum of experiences on here... a new thread was started about every couple of weeks for a while.

New York City wanted to ban them. The federal government wants to tax them. Sugar-sweetened beverages have been under fire for quite a while now. But consumers keep right on drinking them. Soda, flavored iced coffee, flavored iced tea, fruit punch … these, and others, contain tremendous amounts of added sugars. Sugary drinks are a major culprit in the overconsumption of sugar that has contributed so heavily to the obesity crisis.
Beverages sweetened with low, medium and high amounts of high-fructose corn syrup significantly increase risk factors for cardiovascular disease, even when consumed for just two weeks by young, healthy men and women, reports a team of researchers at the University of California, Davis.
The study is the first to demonstrate a direct, dose-dependent relationship between the amount of added sugar consumed in sweetened beverages and increases in specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
The data reinforce evidence from an earlier epidemiological study showing that the risk of death from cardiovascular disease — the leading cause of death in the United States and around the world — increases as the amount of added sugar consumed increases.
The results will be published in the June print edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
"These findings clearly indicate that humans are acutely sensitive to the harmful effects of excess dietary sugar over a broad range of consumption levels," said Kimber Stanhope, the study's lead author and a research scientist in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
The 85 participants, including men and women ranging in age from 18 to 40 years, were placed in four different groups. During 15 days of the study, they consumed beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup equivalent to 0 percent, 10 percent, 17.5 percent or 25 percent of their total daily calorie requirements.
The 0-percent control group was given a sugar-free beverage sweetened with aspartame, an artificial sweetener.
At the beginning and end of the study, researchers used hourly blood draws to monitor the changes in the levels of lipoproteins, triglycerides and uric acid — all known to be indicators of cardiovascular disease risk.
These risk factors increased as the dose of high-fructose corn syrup increased. Even the participants who consumed the 10-percent dose exhibited increased circulating concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride compared with their concentrations at the beginning of the study.
The researchers also found that most of the increases in lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for cardiovascular disease were greater in men than in women and were independent of body weight gain.
Stanhope noted that the study findings underscore the need to extend the research using carefully controlled dietary intervention studies, aimed at determining what would be prudent levels for added sugar consumption.
We tend to think of the relationship between sugar consumption and health in terms of obesity and weight gain. While that's certainly an issue, FoodFacts.com wants to point out that this study indicates that the harmful effects of added sugar can, in fact, be independent of weight gain. Too much sugar is bad for your heart, even if you aren't experiencing challenges with weight. Slowly but surely, science is proving that even the person you know who can "eat and drink whatever they want and not gain weight" isn't immune to the harmful effects of consuming added sugar. It's not just about your weight. It's about your health.

BlackJack II's been looking a little long in the tooth for a while now, and it's been made pretty clear that the Epix isn't the direct replacement -- so what is? Behold the i637 Jack (not to be confused with the... uh, Jack), which has just been made official with a 3.2 megapixel camera and video recording, AGPS, WiFi, microSD expansion, 256MB of RAM, triband HSDPA / quadband EDGE, and the all-too-typical QVGA display. Like its forebears, the Jack naturally features a full QWERTY keyboard; it'll launch with Windows Mobile 6.1 but will be fully upgradeable to 6.5. Look for it in stores on May 19 for $99.99 on a new two-year contract after rebate. AT&T's already got a unit (not to say that should come as any surprise) and they're showing it off on video -- check it out after the break.

Mick Jagger posted on his Twitter account that he had a "great day of hiking near San Diego" and it happens that I did a drive through that area in 2007.

Here's something I picked up on ebay the other day… a swell 1940 map of San Diego County with the main highways in and out of the county, back roads.
It's been 20 years since the passing of legendary bandleader Lawrence Welk. Stop by one of his legacies, the Welk Village Resort north of Escondido.
The unusual winter-in-May storm that hit Southern California has only dusted San Diego County's mountain tops with snow. To really have some fun, head to the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, just west of town and 8,516 feet in elevation.
Before it gets too hot in the desert, head out to Font's Point in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
Drive through the heart of San Diego on some of its most famous avenues, from Imperial to Euclid to Adams.
The latest Weekend Driver column is in print today and online. Weekend Driver: Train stop to history is in your favorite formats. It's a trip to the Dos Cabeza train station out in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Pick up a copy at a newsstand or enjoy online. The online version includes the directions and […]
It looks like this weekend's San Diego International Auto Show is going to once again fill up the Convention Center.

This was sooo easy to make!! I love recipes like that! Plus, my Husband loved it! Bonus is you can use any combo of veggies that you like!
Super easy to make and my picky eater kids loved it! Planning to add this to our meal rotation. I made brown rice separately rather than cooking it with the rice.
I wanted to make something quick and this definitely was an easy recipe! The only problem I had was that it was bland. Added more sweet and sour and salt & pepper to my serving (as did my family...

* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only.
William John Aitken (2 February 1894 – 9 August 1973) was a Scottish footballer and football manager.
A forward, he was known for his trait of bouncing the ball on his head whilst running along the touchline, and was normally known as Willie or Billy. He began his career at Kirkintilloch, before joining Rangers via Queen's Park in 1918. He signed with Port Vale in 1919, before he was sold on to Newcastle United for £2,500 in May 1920. He spent four seasons at Tyneside, before joining Preston North End in 1924. He spent two years with the "Lambs", and after spells at Chorley, Norwich City, and Bideford Town, he was appointed as head coach at Italian club Juventus in 1928. He moved on to France the following year to play for AS Cannes. He played in the 1932 Coupe de France final victory, and was later appointed as club manager. He then spent 1934 to 1936 as player-manager at Stade de Reims, and then took charge at FC Antibes between 1936 and 1938. During World War II he worked as a defence contractor at Vickers-Armstrongs, and he coached across Europe and also worked for a wine and spirits distributor.
Playing career[edit]
Aitken played for amateur sides Kirkintilloch and Queen's Park, before joining Rangers for the 1918–19 season. He scored two goals in 21 league games as they finished second to Old Firm rivals Celtic in the Scottish League Division One. Aitken then left Ibrox Park for England to play for Port Vale in the summer of 1919.[1] He scored on his debut at inside-right in a 2–0 win at Aston Villa Reserves in a Central League match on 20 August 1919.[1] After Vale were elected to the Football League Second Division in October 1919, the Vale were forced to pay £500 to Rangers for his and Peter Pursell services.[1] He scored nine goals in 44 games in 1919–20, and was in the cup winning sides of 1920. He was sold on to Newcastle United for £2,500 in May 1920, which was considered a bargain at the time.[2]
He began playing as an inside-forward at St James' Park, and although he only scored ten goals in 110 league games in four seasons at the club, his unselfishness in attack and overall contribution to the team was greatly appreciated. Newcastle finished fifth in the First Division in 1920–21, with Aitken claiming three goals in 38 appearances.[2] He was limited to 16 games as United finished seventh in 1921–22.[2] They then finished fourth in 1922–23, with Aitken scoring four goals in 26 matches.[2] He scored three goals in 30 appearances as Newcastle posted a ninth-place finish in 1923–24.[2] He played alongside Stan Seymour and Tommy McDonald.[2] In 1924 Aitken signed for Preston North End for £1,000.[2] He then joined Chorley, Norwich City, and Bideford Town.
He travelled to Italy, and impressed Juventus chairman Edoardo Agnelli with his idea of exporting the playing system pioneered by Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman.[3] However, not everyone was convinced by his new methods, and some "Juve" players were unwilling to put in the extra work required to make the system work.[3] He nevertheless led the "Old Lady" to a third-place finish in 1929–30.[3] Though he found little success at Stadio di Corso Marsiglia, his methods were built upon by future coaches at the club.[3] He was unable to take to the field as player, as foreigners were not permitted to play in the Italian leagues.[3] He eventually ended up playing and coaching football in France for AS Cannes, Stade de Reims and FC Antibes. At Cannes he was part of the team that reached the Coupe de France final at the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir on 24 April 1932, which they won 1–0 over RC Roubaix. They also finished as runners-up in the Ligue de Football Professionnel in 1932–33. With Stade Reims, he won the Championnat de France amateur league in 1935.
Later career[edit]
He returned to Britain during World War II, and worked as a defence contractor at Vickers-Armstrongs. He later coached in Belgium (Royale Union Saint-Gilloise) and Norway, and became a representative of a wine and spirits distributor in Tyne and Wear.

Bobby Jindal is outraged over a Department of Justice lawsuit against a Louisiana school voucher program. The suit, which he (repeatedly) calls "cynical, immoral, and hypocritical" and the "worst misuse" of federal desegregation laws, aims to stop a program that allows poor students in failing schools to enter a lottery for a voucher to attend a better school.

Valerie Jarrett, a close adviser to President Obama, said that Eric Holder is "definitely" not stepping down and that he'll be attorney general "for quite a while."
"One of the things that you learn in this business is, don't listen to rumors. You can take it from me. Obviously, I know the president pretty well. And I know the attorney general very well. and he will be in his position for quite a while."
It's a well-known fact that on most college campuses, supposedly havens of academic freedom, you really have to watch what you say.
White House spokesman Jay Carney refused to answer questions about the federal government monitoring the Associated Press's telephone records. Instead, Carney "referred questions" to officials in the Justice Department.
Here's the report of the pool reporter asking Carney, while covering President Obama's New York fundraisers:
Attorney General Eric Holder might not serve in President Barack Obama's second term.
"That's something that I'm in the process now of trying to determine," Holder reportedly said.
Reuters reports:
Yesterday evening, it was announced that Attorney General Eric Holder appointed two prosecutors to investigate alleged national security leaks to the media from the White House. But now two leading Senate Republicans are urging President Obama to appoint independent "outside special counsel" to investigate leaks, instead.
A new regulation from the Justice Department will require "public-access swimming pools across the country to install handicapped-accessible ramps and lifts or face a fine of up to $100,000," the Hill reports. This regulation could cost "hotels and other organizations . . . to spend up to $9,000 to stay in compliance with the rule."
When the White House announced last week that it would not comply with the requirements of the War Powers Resolution because the Libya operation does not involve "hostilities," eyebrows arched in curiosity. Many observers questioned the administration's conclusion that America's involvement in the Libya operation no longer fit within the statute's term "hostilities."
Thirty-four Republican senators will send a letter to Barack Obama, calling on the president "to finally end the DOJ's unwarranted investigations of CIA interrogators, whose work led to one of the most defining moments of the Global War on Terror."
The Wall Street Journal reports that the president "will nominate White House lawyer Donald Verrilli as solicitor general, filling a vacancy left by Elena Kagan when she became a Supreme Court justice last year, the White House said Monday." By picking Verrilli, the White House is passing over Neal Katyal, who has temporarily held the position since Kagan left for the Supreme Court.
James Cole, recess appointed this week by President Obama to serve as deputy attorney general, famously wrote an op-ed on September 9, 2002, criticizing then-Attorney General John Ashcroft. Cole argued:
At Commentary, Jennifer Rubin writes, in a piece titled, "Washington Post Confirms More Than a Year of Conservative Reporting,"
From a Washington Times editorial:
When George W. Bush appointees at the Justice Department used political considerations in hiring career employees, official Washington exploded in outrage. Yet we hear barely a peep of protest now as the Obama Justice Department does the same thing for liberal ends.
When George W. Bush appointees at the Justice Department used political considerations in hiring career employees, official Washington exploded in outrage. Yet we hear barely a peep of protest now as the Obama Justice Department does the same thing for liberal ends.
Jen Rubin first reported here and here on the existence of a letter written by former DOJ attorney and New Black Panther trial team leader Chris Coates to a Justice Department official documenting his concerns about unequal enforcement of voting rights laws.

I didn't know Nancy Grace was pregnant again…
Notice how she now always wears the bag to cover the black hole in her chest.
I really don't know why she's carrying all those bags when we all know her neck hole can hold twice that load.
It's logical to assume that her water just broke and she's picking up some food on the way to the hospital.
"mmmmm…..that street vendor looks GOOD.

It's sad seeing homeless, pregnant woman
She's not shopping, that is just her walking snack pack, girl's got to keep her blood sugar up.
I am surprised that much food made it out of the store.
And here's Tori, just out for a "light lunch".

EDMONTON -- A clean bill of health, an added jolt of confidence and a sparkling new contract have made Edmonton Eskimos rush end Marcus Howard a very happy man.
"I don't know what the future holds, but I love the organization and I'm just happy to be a part of it," said Howard who addressed the media earlier this week after signing a new deal with the Esks.
Howard's excitement will be shared by the Green and Gold faithful, who are certainly looking forward to seeing their rising star wreak havoc on opposing offensive lines and quarterbacks during the 2013 season and beyond.
Last year, however, fans were only treated to a small dose of the hulking six-foot-one, 245-pounder, as he appeared in only six games due to an injured hamstring.
Howard was able to return in time for the Esks' season finale against the Stampeders and was in the lineup for their Eastern Semi-Final loss to the Argonauts, where he registered just one tackle.

Pirates OOOooo
Look. Listen. If a pirate wanted to pay for it he wouldn't steal it in the first place. Don't fall for this mouthy group's agenda. It's like try to say I should let shoplifters get away with it since they are my best customers. Yeah, right. It keeps me buying ammo is what it does.
Get it through your fucking skull that copying is not the same as stealing. If it was then telling you you're an idiot is the same as shooting you in the face. Especially as that seems to be your preferred method.
The MPAA and RIAA have no visible interest in changing.
Of course they do. As long and the change gets them more money for less work.
But Apple offers their own free, ad-supported music streaming service, iTunes Radio. According to a quick Google search, it's more popular than Spotify -- which I find hard to believe, but several sites make the claim.
It's probably de facto installed with iTunes and they count every installation rather than use. Probably bundled with safari and quicktime too.
I have different approach. I got Spotify Premium, so I have access to all the music I listen to. When Taylor Swift pulled her songs from the service I said to myself: "I'm not going to bother, I don't have to listen to her songs anymore!". I have same approach with Netflix, if a movie or TV series is not there, I don't watch. I don't feel entitled to listen/watch content that is outside of the services I pay for.
My approach costs less and keeps my free time free from stress. On the other hand if you do enjoy making a private streaming service for your friends and family then by all means, but try justifying your effort better.
They could do with a million more like you. Hand over your cash and consume whatever they shove down your throat no questions asked.
Also pirates support children terrorist's
Is that children who terrorise or people or terrorise children.
Because it's not a technology, but an art-form?
It's like saying that painting is old-hat and only digital-photography can be done from now on - why would anyone "paint" or "sketch" or "draw"? God, what heathens!
No one is saying that though. Some guy is moaning his pixel art isn't being heralded as the best thing ever.
For consumers this is likely a great thing.
Yeah, I can't wait for Windows to change the print subsystem in an update that causes my excessively complex multifunction printer driver suite to put my computer into a reboot loop. As an average consumer, I'd love to have to pay someone to service the machine to fix that.
The same goes for any wireless cards, or storage controllers, or USB peripherals, or
Is this something that has happened to you in the past or just some shit example about how it's going to be end times for windows.
and the spying - the spying by EVERYONE really gets me down.
It's more like give us a whole bunch of money and we'll give you this thing we made to use in the way we specify.
Throw a pie at a fed, get life imprisonment for attempted murder of a federal agent plus a bunch of other bullshit, trumped up, double-dipped charges.
Unless you're black, in which case they'll just flat out murder you.
it seems though that you greeks have learned a lot from the turks. in terms of lying. propaganda and outright murder.
"europe" actually is a hellhole of violence, not a source of civilization.
before you ask, i am german.
Maybe, but it's one of the better hellholes on the planet.
They don't really need you though. They have millions of people willing to pay and don't mind if you watch the grass grow. Personally I find most television is less intellectually challenging than watching the grass grow. Sadly I allowed myself to become addicted to Game of Thrones and then I got my wife hooked on it as well.
They do and that's the point. Well ESPN anyway, that's why they're shitting themselves people might be able to get cable without them getting a cut.
