Band History
"Hydrogyn is going to be big, very big..." – Michael Wagener, Producer (Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Alice Cooper) IN THE BEGINNING… In January 2004, West Virginia guitarists Jeff Westlake and Jeff Boggs began work on a new experiment – a compelling modern heavy rock tour de force like no other on the scene – an outfit designed to destroy musical and industry barriers. Jeff Westlake on the blueprints behind HYDROGYN, "We wanted something a broad audience could love but also be something special. Something that stood out." Fortified with cutting edge riffs, intelligent lyrics and massive hooks delivered by Julie (just "Julie"), a stunning front lady with a multi-octave range, the result is a formula set to conquer everything from Alternative Rock to Modern Hard Rock to Timeless Metal without sacrificing credibility. HYDROGYN is built to explode.
RUMBLES… By the time the band's self-produced debut hit the scene, the industry was already putting their ears to the ground, picking up on the rumble that is HYDROGYN. Best Served With Volume found the band in favor with soft drink giant Pepsi, who not only sponsored the fledgling outfit but hoisted them in front of tens of thousands strong at NASCAR (Chevy Rocking 400 May 2005). The audience response was nothing short of inspiring. It was clear, even without prior exposure to the band, onlookers fell into the hands of the fivesome's massive, genre leaping sound and mesmerizing front lady, making the case that Jeff Boggs, Jeff Westlake, Julie, bassist Jason Fields and drummer Jerry Lawson were onto something.
LIFT OFF "In 7 years of editing a major hard rock webzine, I have never seen an indie act with such a complete package – broad appeal, great musicianship, a dynamic front lady and most important, they are smart AND determined. They understand the big picture and are quickly becoming part of it. " – Brian Coles, Editor - Electricbasement.com Hot off the heals of Volume's release, HYDROGYN issued a professional video clip for the single "The Sand", which was featured at the world renowned Electricbasement.com. The response to the bombastic music and sensual video was immediate, yielding the band radio guest spots across the country including www.Dailynoise.com and several Clear Channel stations including WAMX 106.3. Dark Vission TV jumped to put it in rotation, providing the band with massive exposure in Mexico and Latin America. Traffic to the band's website soared, with visits eclipsing 25,000 per month, an astounding total for a new, unsigned band. Top-level affiliations began to pour in. Sponsorships with Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Off The Rim, Eagle Distributing, Pearl Drums, Vic Firth Sticks and Loud City.net followed in rapid succession. More recent sponsorships include Randall Amps and Modules, Eden Bass, Washburn guitars, Groove Tubes, Royer Mics and Custom Gemstones. But it did not stop there. NOW Comics featured a HYDROGYN track, "Vesper's Song", as a CD single included with their acclaimed graphic novel release VESPERS® by veteran author/illustrator Tony Caputo. The novel and band are currently nominated for an IPPY Award, which is a top honor in the independent publishing industry. Caputo also assisted in making the band's new, curvaceous logo, perfect for hot selling T-shirts and other merchandise. Taking advantage of this, the band signed a licensing deal with Crave Trendware, with custom HYDROGYN watches to see store shelves in early 2006. Julie's visual and vocal appeal helped her gain notoriety with her very own column at Electricbasement.com called Julie's Jolts, where visitors voted on which pics to include in her forthcoming calendar. The idea was a no-brainer after the brisk internet sales of Volume as well as a Julie poster that sold out a mere weeks after being posted in the band's online store. The band's ability to sell merchandise was another strong asset.
SOARING HIGH In the Spring of 2005 the band received yet another jaw dropping accolade. Legendary producer Michael Wagener (Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Alice Cooper) heard the band and was impressed to say the least, deeming them the best band he has heard in years. He also understood something else – the band could go over not just in North America, but also in Asia, Europe and South America. Once again, an indicator for the bands potential to cross borders, not just in genre, but geographical as well. So optimistic about their prospects, he agreed to produce the band's next record. (Wagener discography can be viewed here: www.michaelwagener.com) The buzz was now in effect, having landed the band in MIX Magazine (print), Metal Maniacs Online (net), This Is Rock (Spain, print), Blabbermouth.net (net), Prosound News (print), Blistering.com (net), Bravewords.com (net), New Herald Dispatch (print, net), Flash Magazine Italy (Print, net), Fireworks Magazine UK (print), Classic Rock Magazine UK (print, net), Rock Hard Magazine France (print) among many others. The band now had a presence world wide. After leaving the studio in September, the band headlined the second stage at the popular Xfest in West Virginia, put on by Clear Channel station WAMX. Other bands on the bill include the Gold selling Seether. Regional Clear Channel General Manager Judy Jennings has backed the band by putting them in rotation on WAMX (106.3) and WKEE (100.5). The fall also saw the band finalize another piece of the puzzle, with legendary photographer JOHN SCARPATI (Rolling Stones, Dixie Chicks), handling their photo shoot and album cover. Then the last piece of the puzzle; a label. The band chose to develope their own on the idea that who better to look after them?
In October 2006 Bombshell dropped officially in the US hitting the Billboard on three different charts to mark it amazing release.
EXPLOSION With billboard charting, 3 tours of Europe and 2 releases under their belt the band changed bass players for Chris Sammons and Drummer to Josh Kitchen and released a live offering up for the fans that were not able to see them on the Bombshell tour. Strip'em Blind Live was released in July 2007 again by their own label in the US and again on the bands label in Europe as well. This live offering was recorded on September first of 2006 in Charleston WV in front of 15000 screaming people. It showcased the band in a big way and even though it was a bit early in a career to be releasing a live CD it worked great.
In January of 2008 the band re entered the studio to record Bombshell's follow up in Deadly Passions. This time was a bit different as Jeff Boggs has stepped down for family commitments and the band had signed what was thought to be a great deal with Demolition Records to cover the world and get a big push. While the CD itself is a stellar piece of modern molten Hard Rock the label faltered in every way to deliver. The band toured relentlessly both for the release in the US and as a one guitar player band but never got to Europe or any other part of the world. There wer a lot of festivals that year and the DP tour that the band saw themselves playing multiple shows with bands like Seether, Shinedown, Rhino Bucket, Great White, Chevelle, Crossfade, Bobaflex and a small tour with Derringer. Deadly did hit the CMJ radio charts at number six in the states and did very well for the remainder of that year.
Hydrogyn continued to tour throughout 2009 and releasing a DVD called No Borders which again struck the charts in the US because of their great following. In the fall of 09 the band had taken its first rest in almost 6 years.
2010 saw the experiment with Jeff Young (ex Megadeth) entering the band. After 5 months of trying to get the cog to work with Young the trial period ended. With Young out of the band in July of 2010 the band finished up Judgement. Judgement released in October of 2010 to hitting the top Heat Seeker charts at #10.
Shortly after the release Julie fell ill and was unable to tour to support the cd. This was to go on until June of 2011 when she was finally cleared medically to resume her rocking ways.
Even with the success of Judgement the Julie was not happy with the direction of the release and wanted a hookier more groove laden product. After approaching Jeff Westlake about the next release and what she wanted from it the two settled down into writing.
While writing the CD long time friend Mike Jublin from France had contacted Jeff after hearing the news that there would be a new Hydrogyn record to discuss a unique possibility. After a phone call with Jublin the band had decided to try a collaboration with French Producer Patrick Liotard and Anthony Dura from France. The collaboration was to be a cover tune of Heavens on Fire from Kiss and it worked great!!
In July of 2011 all lights were green to proceed with what is now Private Sessions. After two months of writing and recording both at Westlake's Ridgeline Studio and Peek Studio, Boisseron, France the band was finished with the new release.
Following the success of Judgement the band stayed with the system in the US that had achieved the numbers it did. In Europe the band has changed gears and gone with Music Buy Mail for this release and a more self controlled way of doing business.
2012 is looking to be a great year for the band and it is starting out with a great new release in Private Sessions.

The ruling overturned a state commission's previous determination that a Lansing marijuana patient could not receive unemployment benefits after losing her job in 2011 for failing a drug test.
Judge Collette wrote in his decision: "Disqualification from unemployment benefits for use of medical marijuana in conformity with (state law) would amount to an impermissible penalty" and be "contrary to law."
The Lansing woman, Jenine Kemp, who worked at Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital, suffers from Lupus and neuropathy and had legally used medicinal cannabis baked into food products since 2010 to combat her chronic pain.
As reported by the Lansing State Journal, Ms. Kemp had been upfront about her medical pot usage with her employers, informing them of it even before her urine test, and when she inevitably failed, she was summarily fired by the hospital.
Once Ms. Kemp was granted unemployment benefits, the hospital appealed to the Michigan Compensation Appellate Commission, which decided in 2012 that medical pot patients are not eligible for unemployment benefits.
With Judge Collette's reasoned ruling, hopefully Ms. Kemp can receive her long overdue and deserved benefits to get on with her life.

What's a queen to do when she and most of her family have been murdered? Get resurrected of course. "Game of Thrones" actress Michelle Fairley who played Catelyn Stark on the HBO series has traded nobility for notoriety as she has joined the cast of ABC's "Resurrection" said TV Line on July 23.
She will have a season-long story arc on the series about a small Missouri town experiencing unexplained resurrections of citizens who have died. Her character, Margaret Langston, is the "formidable matriarch of the Langston family.
Margaret is the mother of brothers, Henry (Kurtwood Smith) and Fred (Matt Craven), who have been at odds since the first person to "return" was Henry's son. The character's bio reveals that Margaret has been gone from more than 30 years. She knows all of her family's dark secrets and she is going to do her best to keep them hidden. According to the Hollywood Reporter, when she turns up as one of the returned, it will have serious consequences for the rest of the Langston family.
Since leaving "Game of Thrones," Fairley has been a busy bee with appearances on USA's "Suits" and as the villain on Fox's "24: Live Another Day" opposite Keifer Sutherland.
When we left Arcadia at the end of the first season, the town was being swarmed by the 'returned', people who had died anywhere from yesterday to decades ago. Agent J. Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps) from the immigration office tried to escape with Henry son, whom the feds were after and caught in the closing minutes. It also seemed that Bellamy's family may be among the returned too, though he doesn't know it yet. Who else is among those returning to the town and why are they coming?
"Resurrection" Season 2 opens Sunday, Sept. 28 at 8:00 p.m. on ABC. Check back for more updates as we get them.

Desperate Sharks fend off Bruins for 2-1 win
Wednesday, 08.06.2014 / 4:50 AM
Daniel Winnik
picked a great time to score his first goal since coming to the
San Jose Sharks
from Colorado in a deal at the trade deadline.
Winnik's blast from the left circle early in the third period Thursday night put San Jose ahead 2-0, and the Sharks held off the defending Stanley Cup champion
Boston Bruins
2-1 at HP Pavilion.
Fighting for their playoff lives, the Sharks snapped a two-game losing streak and completed a two-game series sweep of the Bruins. The win gives the Sharks 84 points; they are 10th in the West but just one point out of the eighth and final playoff berth.
"It's huge," Winnik said of the win, which followed losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles earlier in the week. "They're obviously a Stanley Cup contender, one of the best teams in the East. The way they play, they play that kind of playoff style. Big bodies, very skilled up front. I thought we handled them well. We played very good team defense. I thought our team speed really showed tonight."
Joe Pavelski
scored early in the first period for the Sharks. After Winnik scored at 2:17 of the third, Bruins defenseman
Zdeno Chara
sliced the lead to 2-1 with 4:15 left to play, but the Sharks hung on for the victory.
Sharks goaltender
Antti Niemi
improved to 5-0-0 lifetime against Boston, stopping 16 of 17 shots. Bruins goaltender
Tim Thomas
made 25 saves.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan has been pushing for more goals from some "unusual suspects," players other than
Logan Couture
Patrick Marleau
and Pavelski. Winnik, who played on the fourth line Thursday, certainly qualifies. He hadn't scored a goal since Dec. 15 – for Colorado against the Sharks in San Jose.
"I've said it before. That's how it has to happen," McLellan said. "It can't be Patty and Pav and Cooch all the time. It has to be an unusual suspect that steps up, and it was great for Winny to score. It's been a long time since he scored. He should feel good about himself. Maybe we can get him going on a roll."
The Bruins came into the game after back-to-back wins, including an 8-0 rout of Toronto on Monday, after four straight losses. They left with their fourth consecutive road loss and missed a chance to extend their three-point lead over Ottawa in the Northeast Division.
"They set the pace early in the game and it took us a long, long time to catch up to it," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "We had a lot of players on the top lines looking sluggish. That makes it tough to generate anything. Even when we had the puck they came at us and took away our space. We were feeling pretty good about things going into the third period, but they get that early goal and it gave them life and confidence, and we dug ourselves more of a hole. It started with a turnover and it was a good shot. You can't blame Thomas for that one. He made several stops to keep us in the game."
The Sharks owned a 1-0 lead after two periods, and Winnik made it 2-0 with a slap shot from the left circle on a 3-on-2 rush. A turnover by
Tyler Seguin
ignited the rush, and fourth-line center
Andrew Desjardins
hit Winnik with a cross-ice pass. Winnik did the rest, beating Thomas top shelf to the far side.
"It felt great," Winnik said. "It had been obviously a really long time from when I had scored last. It was just a good rush overall. Desi made a great play, snapped it across. It was one of those plays I had to handle it for a sec and then shoot it. That was probably the only place I could shoot there. I know he's coming across. He'll be down. It was one of those hope it goes in.
"We can't rely on our top two lines to score every night. Our third and fourth have to start chipping in. That's what the better teams in the League do. We have guys on our third and fourth who can do that. It's just a matter of our team bearing down."
Boston got on the board when Chara raced in from the blue line to grab a loose puck, skated below the goal line to the right of Niemi and banked the puck off the goaltender and into the net for his 11th of the season. The goal came just seconds after Niemi withstood a wild rush by the Bruins but the Sharks were unable to get the puck out of their end.
"With a few minutes left I was falling off the play, but I saw the rebound come out after a few missed opportunities," Chara said. "I was looking for a pass but then I saw the goalie was basically on the ice and I tried to bounce it off the goalie and luckily it went in. You just try to bounce it off any part of the goalie you can and hope it takes a good bounce."
The Sharks jumped to a 1-0 lead on Pavelski's 27th goal of the season at 3:57 of the first period, as he ripped a rebound past Thomas. Sharks center
Joe Thornton
intercepted a pass in Boston's end and fired a hard shot that Thomas stopped, but the Sharks controlled the long rebound and kept the pressure on, getting the puck back to Thornton behind the net.
From there, Thornton fed a pass in front to Marleau, who unleashed a quick shot. Thomas stopped that one, but not Pavelski's shot from just right of the crease, who scored while the Bruins had their top defensive pair of Chara and
Dennis Seidenberg
on the ice.
After back-to-back lifeless games against the Ducks and Kings, the Sharks played with energy from the moment the puck dropped. The question now, McLellan said, is whether they can duplicate that effort Saturday against Phoenix and for the rest of the playoff race.
"That's the million-dollar question," McLellan said. "One, they should feel good about themselves tonight. They didn't feel good coming back from L.A. They certainly didn't feel good going to L.A. the other day. So if they want to continue to feel that way they have to continue to perform the way they did tonight.
"I think the secret right now, to use that cliché again, is playing freely. Get rid of the attention and the stress. We know what we're up against. Now go play. I've seen that with this team before in the first round, year after year where that stress level goes up and guys get a little tense, they get a little bit slower. We get through that round and now we're free and we just start to play and we get better in the second and third rounds. Maybe that's what we're dealing with right now."
McLellan tinkered with his top two lines Thursday, hoping to spark more offense. Couture moved from left wing on the top line to center on the second line, swapping places with Marleau, who was reunited with Thornton and Pavelski. Couture rejoined
Ryane Clowe
Martin Havlat
The Sharks outshot Boston 8-5 in the first period and sent seven more shots at Thomas less than seven minutes into the second period. Thomas faced only 13 shots in Monday night's shutout of Toronto, but he had already faced 13 shots with 15:30 left in the second.
After facing five shots in the first, Niemi faced just four in the second. The Sharks controlled the puck for most of the first two periods, and when Boston went on the attack, Niemi's defensemen often kept the Bruins from getting the puck close to Niemi. San Jose blocked 11 shots in the first two periods and had 10 takeaways. Boston had six blocks and three takeaways to that point.
"I think we played a better game today," Niemi said. "We were faster. We didn't make too many mistakes. For sure, it was just way easier for me."
Sharks center
Michal Handzus
returned to the lineup after missing six games with a lower-body injury, and for forward
Tommy Wingels
(upper body) returned after missing five games. Forward
TJ Galiardi
(upper body) remained out.

Spotlight on the performance of A Night at the Apollo Theatre with Special Guests; Detroit Jazz Festival Act 2
Detroit Jazz Festival
Downtown Detroit
Admission Cost:: Free
The Detroit Jazz Festival is an annual event that is free to the public. This review is Act 2 of my coverage of the Labor day weekend performances. You can find Act 1 of the evening by clicking here.
A Night at the Apollo Theatre was one of the opening Headlining Acts and I found the big band music and guests performers very entertaining. They put on quite a show; there were solos, duets, tap dancing, free style dancing, and great big band music. To enjoy the virtual experience of being there please click on the feature video/slideshow at the top of the article.
I rate the performance 4 out of 5 stars because it was very entertaining and it transported the audience back to a time of big band musical stage productions.
The following is from the official Press Release;
"Every year it's our goal to bring a unique collection of world-class musicians to Detroit for performances you literally can't see anywhere else, and I can say without a doubt that, again, we've been able to do so," said Chris Collins, artistic director of the Detroit Jazz Festival. "This year, with our theme 'Jazz Speaks for Life' in mind, we sought musicians of all walks of life who weave deep, meaningful stories through their music. These stories are the root of what makes jazz a very powerful medium, and we are blessed to have artists perform that are able to express their worldly experiences through beautiful works of jazz." - http://www.detroitjazzfest.com/pressrelease53.html
I would say that overall this annual outdoor concert succeeded if its goal was also to be eclectic. If you attended this past weekend to hear Jazz you may have been surprised to hear a little bit of Gospel, Country, and Rock. I would like to suggest a possible name change to Detroit Music Festival.

Caleb Harms shot a 69 in the second round, one of only two golfers to break 70 in the second round.
April 29, 2013
By John Lock
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - The Southern Illinois men's golf team is in third place after the first two rounds of the Missouri Valley Conference Championship. Joe Goelzhauser led the way and is in sixth place overall. The final round from Dalhousie Golf Club begins tomorrow morning with a split tee start at 8:30 a.m.
"We're tickled to death with how we played today," head coach Leroy Newton said. "We like what position we're in. We're looking forward to getting out there tomorrow and making a run at Illinois State for second."
Joe Goelzhauser led the way with two solid rounds. The senior is fifth in the tournament in par-5 scoring and is one of only three individuals to record an eagle in the first two rounds. Jake Erickson is tied for 18th and is among the top-15 individuals in both par-3 scoring and birdies.
Jeffrey Miller and Caleb Harms are one stroke behind Erickson and tied for 22nd overall in the 45-player tournament. Both Miller and Harms rebounded to shoot better in the second round. Harms had the biggest turnaround in the tournament.
After shooting 85 in his first 18 holes, Harms improved 16 strokes to shoot 69 in the second round. Harms was one of only five golfers to shoot better than par in the second round. Miller shot a 79 in the first round, but fired a 75 in the second round for Southern's second-best second-round score. Brandon Cauldwell is one stroke behind Harms and Miller and is tied for 27th overall.
Southern's second-round total of 296 is the best round for SIU at the MVC Championship since shooting a 293 in the final round of the 2008 Championship. Southern is aiming for its third top-three conference finish in the last five years.
Wichita State leads the field by 24 strokes entering the final round and has the top four individuals. Illinois State is in second, seven strokes ahead of Southern.

Gute Takes No-No Into 6th, Baseball Blanks Pierce, 3-0
Rain helped the Pasadena City College baseball team twice against Los Angeles Pierce College. First, the rain washed out a Feb. 18 non-conference game v. the Brahmas, a game that Pierce led 7-5 in the top half of the fifth inning. Because games have to go five complete innings to be considered a contest, the game went down as a rainout. The remake was Friday and again the showers shortened the contest between the host Lancers and Pierce.
This time when the rain hit its hardest, it was PCC leading 3-0, and the Lancers were awarded the victory as the umpires called the game in the bottom of the eighth inning at Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field.
The Lancers (3-7) snapped a six-game losing streak thanks to a dominating pitching start by frosh right-hander Kevin Gute. A 6-foot-2, 185-pound hurler from San Marino High, Gute (pronounced Goot-ee) flirted with a no-hitter. His no-no bid was broken with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning on a clean single to left field by Pierce first baseman Kevin Wharton.
After allowing a pair of hits to start the seventh, Gute was relieved by lefty Adam Wickham. The Lancers defense turned double plays in each of Wickham's two innings as he saved the victory for Gute (2-0) and picked up the hard-earned save (his first). Gute finished throwing 90 pitches, allowing three hits, one walk and striking out four. The combined shutout is the first by Lancers' pitchers since Mar. 5, 2009 when Roderick Martinez and Cameron Copping teamed to blank Barstow, 1-0.
In the fifth, PCC would score the only run it would need thanks to little ball played by Lancers head coach Evan O'Meara. Shortstop Sean Stone drew a walk and was moved all the way to third base on consecutive sacrifice bunts by leftfielder Vincent Pantaleo and centerfielder Kyle Wilkinson. Stone scored on a wild pitch by hardluck losing pitcher Josh Derry.
The Lancers added a run in the sixth when Gute was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. In the seventh, PCC loaded the bases only to see first baseman Jose Serna score on a passed ball. Pasadena totaled just four hits, two by rightfielder Ahmed Razi.
LA Pierce had been among the Western State Conference's top teams as its record dropped to 7-3.
In another remake from a rainout Feb. 19 at Glendale College, the Lancers played as the visiting team despite Robinson Field being the site on Thursday. The Vaqueros held on to defeat the Lancers, 6-5.
The highlight for PCC was a superb relief performance turned in by sophomore A.J. Smouse, who transferred from Glendale College in the offseason. Smouse, who was 1-3 with a 3.63 ERA for the Vaqueros in 2010, twirled 5-2/3 innings, allowing three hits, one run, two walks and three strikeouts v. his old college.
PCC outhit Glendale, 10-9, as catcher Jason Clark batted 3-for-4 with a double. First baseman Matt Chavez roped a RBI triple. Serna added two hits as did Wilkinson.
"We've had different guys step up and give us solid pitching," O'Meara said. "We split two games against two of the stronger Western State Conference teams. I think we are ready to give our own conference foes a tough battle each game."
Pasadena opens South Coast Coast Conference play Mar. 8 at Cerritos College.

I was thinking:
He's a close friend of Stephen Ross.
At the game, he word a Dolphins pin and said "we" a lot.
You have a successful football operation in place, and Ross would be foolish to undermine that, and bring on Peterson after he ran KC into the ground over the last few years. The fans would universally despise the man - and you have to figure that Ross is smart enough to know that.
But....what if Peterson were being brought on as a minority (probably very minority) owner of the team. Someone Ross can trust to be there as a sort of consultant and friend, but then he would have very little to do with the franchise itself. As a small owner, it always be Ross' call. But yet he could tell him what he thinks from a football insider perspective....and never interfere with Parcells or the actual operation of the team.
I would have no problem with that.

Wrapper Project for NetBeans Projects
By Geertjan-Oracle on Jul 21, 2012
A great question in this blog by swpalmer recently:
I have a need for a custom project type that is mostly just a parent for existing NB project types for Java(Ant or Maven, soon Gradle) and C++. Think of it like a one project for a Java library that uses JNI and the project for the native library that implements the native methods that go with it. Add a little bit of metadata and some custom packaging steps (currently written with Gradle) and that would be my new project type.
Would making a new parent project type that has subprojects of existing NB project types be an easy thing to implement?
Well, here's a simple example. Imagine you have folders for your customers, each containing multiple NetBeans projects. Would be cool to be able to open all those projects together, as part of a new project defined by some recognized structure in the customer folder:
Then, once open, you can do typical things you'd like to be able to do to multiple projects belonging to a shared container of some kind, such as open the individual projects for separate editing:
Notice that, though the icon is retained from the original NetBeans project, the logical view isn't. I don't think there's a way around that.
The way this works is that the "createLogicalView" override of the Project implementation returns a Node that defines its children as FilterNode.Children, with the icons overridden. That defines the logical view. The ability to open the NetBeans project together with the main project is done via a SubprojectProvider in the Lookup of the main project, which recognizes subfolders containing an "nbproject" folder as a subproject of the main project.
Best of all, I can now create Actions which lookup all the subprojects and then do something with the group of subprojects. Maybe, for example, all the subprojects can be built together or run together or something like that. A higher level container like this can open up a lot of possibilities and isn't hard to create, if you combine the instructions in the above paragraph with the instructions in this tutorial:
Finally, if the customer project in the screenshots above were to be a Gradle project, then I think the question with which this blog entry started would be resolved.

The country is split on the subject of federal control of our health care. Recent polls suggest 52% are against increasing federal control of health care and about 40% are for it. If a poll were taken today about increased federal control of our children's public education, where would the percentages end up?
Some Americans are probably not aware that public schools have nearly always been locally controlled and paid for via the state, city, and school district. Here is a good synopsis given on the federal government website of the history of local and federal roles:
The responsibility for K-12 education rests with the states under the Constitution. There is also a compelling national interest in the quality of the nation's public schools. Therefore, the federal government, through the legislative process, provides assistance to the states and schools in an effort to supplement, not supplant, state support. The primary source of federal K-12 support began in 1965 with the enactment of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
ESEA authorizes grants for elementary and secondary school programs for children of low-income families; school library resources, textbooks and other instructional materials; supplemental education centers and services; strengthening state education agencies; education research; and professional development for teachers.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is a reauthorization of ESEA. The law's express purposes are to raise achievement for all students and to close the achievement gap. This is done through accountability, research-based instruction, flexibility and options for parents, so that no child is left behind.
No Child Left Behind (NCLB), pushed by President George W. Bush and Senator Ted Kennedy, increased federal involvement in schools. Since then, federal dollars put into public education have increased exponentially.
- Pre-NCLB spending on public education by the federal government was 6% or $20 billion
- Percentages of funding levels from the 2004-2005 school year, post-NCLB: 45.6% of public school funding came from the state level, 37.1% came from the local level, and 8.3% came from the federal government
- The federal role increased in the 2007-2008 school year to 8.9%
- The federal contribution to public education in 2008-2009 went down to 7.8% technically, but that does not include the $96.8 billion in federal stimulus spending.
- The federal contribution to education spending in the 2009-2010 school year increased to about 10.5%, around $46.2 billion. This is in addition to a recent proposal by Senator Harkin (D-Iowa) for an additional $23 billion in funds to help public schools avoid more layoffs.
The latest push for increased federal involvement in public education comes from Race to the Top (RttT). RttT is President Obama's public education reform competition which has states competing for large amounts of federal money. In exchange, it requires states to adopt common core standards and assessments, create assessment systems to measure student progress, increase teacher effectiveness and distribution to all schools, and to develop ways to turn around the lowest-achieving schools.
States are being asked to change their own state laws regarding charter schools and how they train, evaluate, and compensate teachers to align individual state laws with federal reform goals. The competing states must adopt national standards and assessments as well. There is a district-level Race to the Top which will bypass states who do not participate, like Alaska and Texas. These programs only serve to increase the role of the federal government in public education. Additionally, the federal government is eying the reauthorization and tweaking of NCLB as early as this year which will open the door further to increased federal control and increased federal dollars to pay for it.
In President Obama's 2011 education budget proposal, "cradle to college" programs take center stage. President Obama's administration has recently taken over the entire college student loan business in the newly passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. There is also the funding of Promise Neighborhoods which provide health, social, and education services to all inhabitants of a neighborhood including infants and adults.
But, putting aside the question as to whether there should be an increased role for the federal government in public education, is there any evidence to support the conviction that an increased federal government role would even increase student learning? A recent article on Cato.org by Andrew J. Coulson asks and answers that very question with this very instructive chart comparing federal spending and National Assessment of Educational Progress scores over the years. As the chart suggests, federal funding for education has skyrocketted just as test scores have flatlined.
As a country, the proposal that the federal government increase its involvement in health care was debated heatedly, as it should have been. Our children's future via the public education system demands the same attention and exchanges.

Adele Leads 2011 Top Sellers
According to data released by music sales tracking service Nielsen SoundScan, Adele's album 21 and her single from the album Rolling in the Deep were the number one sellers in the United States for 2011. The album reportedly sold 5.82 million copies, with the single hitting 5.81 million downloads. As the singer-songwriter's second album, 21 is the biggest selling album since Usher's album Confessions sold 7.98 million in 2004. Judging by the initial sales of 21 when it was released in March 2011, it was no surprise to fans that Adele's album took top honors. The album sold 352,000 copies in its first week and has remained in the Billboard 200 chart's top 10 for 44 weeks and counting.Read more..
Steinway Hall Honors Billy Joel
With Piano Man being the song that launched Billy Joel's career, it seems fitting that this popular musician has been inducted into Steinway Hall New York, one of the centers for the legendary piano makers, Steinway and Sons. The fact that he is the only non-classical musician to have been honored in this way is a testament to his talent and popular appeal. His larger-than-life painting will hang alongside that of Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989), the Russian pianist who was one of Joel's idols. Other legendary musicians to have their portraits hung in the Steinway Hall include Arthur Rubinstein, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Franz Liszt. In addition to the New York Steinway Hall opened in 1925 - replacing the original 1864 showroom - there are also Steinway Halls in London, Vienna, Hamburg, Munich, Berlin and Tokyo.Read more..

Last night, at Ramsi's Cafe on the World in Louisville, the inaugural Local Food Heroes Farm to Table Dinner was held. Honorees were Ramsi Kamar of Louisville, Michael Lewis of Berea, and Clay Turner of Russellville.
Ramsi's Cafe is a well-established Louisville restaurant, twenty years old. Recently, however, owner Ramsi Kamar, and his wife Rhona, began growing food for the restaurant on a piece of land they had owned for some time in Fisherville. Where practical, they grow organic. However, they need certain levels of production to continue to have Ramsi's be a gathering place for the community, and to keep prices inclusive. For some items, organic is not practical. However, offering organic food is another way to promote the restaurant, Rhona said. And the farm pays other benefits, like giving them a place to compost biodegradable waste from the restaurant.
Michael Lewis is a Berea farmer who served honorably in the U.S. Army for five years, two as an Honor Guard stationed at Arlington National Cemetery. In spite of accompanying over two hundred soldiers on their final journey, he knew that he needed to do even more for his fellow servicemen and women.
He's quick to point to the sacrifices of those who deployed overseas, and were wounded, like his brother Fred-Curtis Lewis. Fred-Curtis was a combat medic who was shot in the back of the head after several tours of duty in Afghanistan. He was left with a debilitating brain injury, his family joined his brother's in Kentucky, and they began farming side-by-side. "I was dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury," Fred-Curtis told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "He saw how I was transformed. And he realized it was working for him as well." As a result, Michael Lewis' Gaining Ground Farm joined the Farmer Veteran Coalition, a group that seeks to help veterans get involved in food production.
Clay Turner, of Turner Valley Produce, sells produce from a roadside stand at the entrance to his third-generation farm, twice a week at the Logan County Farmers' Market, and at the Kentucky Wonders Garden Market in downtown Russellville, where people without transportation can purchase. A customer commented, "When I am in town on Tuesday or Saturday in Russellville at the Farmer's Market, it is the first vendor I head to. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to serving your community."

Tea Party favorite Sen. Rand Paul says if the Republican Party fails to adapt to the country's changing demographics, it could find itself on the outside looking in, politically – even in Texas.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Harris County Republican Party in Houston on Saturday, Paul – who grew up in Texas – warned that the GOP risks turning the Lone Star State into "a Democratic state within 10 years if you don't change."
"That doesn't mean we give up on what we believe in, but it means we have to be a more welcoming party," Paul said, according to CNN. "We have to welcome people of all races. We need to welcome people of all classes -- business class, working class."
One area where Republicans could embrace more welcoming policies was in the realm of immigration, Paul said.
"We won't all agree on it," Paul said, according to Politico. "But I'll tell you, what I will say and what I'll continue to say, and it's not an exact policy prescription ... but if you want to work and you want a job and you want to be part of America, we'll find a place for you."
Paul, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010 in Kentucky, has been mentioned as a potential GOP presidential contender in 2016. He noted that his viewpoint is also shared by many in the Republican Party, including the Texas Republican Party chairman.
Right now Texas is the largest GOP bastion in the country, but it is nearly 40 percent Hispanic, a demographic that has traditionally supported Democrats.
During his speech, Paul noted the somewhat "tepid response" to his statements.
"Doesn't mean I don't believe in securing the border first, doesn't mean I don't believe it's important we have a secure country," he said. "But it does mean we have to have a different attitude."
Paul's father, Ron, was a long-serving U.S. congressman from Texas. He stepped down in 2012. His libertarian-leaning political positions often put him at odds with his own party, and the younger Paul has adopted many of his beliefs and characteristics.

Thanks Tom.
Forrest: You might consider an audio interface from Presonus. I have 2 and they are quite good. Check out the Presonus AudioBox 22DSL, or the 44DSL. I would not get the AudioBox USB because it doesn't record at higher resolutions (which you may prefer at some point). These interfaces also allow you to record multiple channels at the same time (say a mic for you vocal and a mic for your guitar). I use 4 channels when I record guitar/vocals: a mic for vocals, 2 mics for the guitar, and I take the direct out from the guitar just in case.
New solo guitar EP, Timeless Moments, is on itunes and amazon for purchase here are the links! I hope you enjoy guys! I would love it if you could rate and review as well. Thanks!
itunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/timeless-moments/id502060214
amazon http://www.amazon.com/Timeless-Moments-EP/dp/B0078JS8VE/ref=sr_1_5?... all recorded at home
Thanks for all the great suggestions!
What is the technical term for the kind of "interface" I need? Is it simply "audio interface" or something more specific?
Also, something that feels unnatural to me is layering the sound. That is, playing the guitar in first, then adding the vocal, etc. I understand the need to hear what it sounds like going in (like with stage monitors). Is that something you just get over, or do some of you record more than just one voice or track at at time?
I use an iMac for recording with Garageband. Just getting started and haven't learned how to clean up the sound dynamics (I feel like I need a sound engineer).
I use an Allen & Heath ZED FX10 as a mixer. I also just got a Roland GR55 synthesizer for my Godin Multiac. Lots of gear to figure out but lots of fun. Some initial practice recordings here: http://intelexe.com
Since Forrest had said "My budget is limited.", I was trying to go with what may already be available to him, ( did I mentiom that I like "no extra costs" ) Sometimes a little imagination and creative wiring will pay off.
Hi Forrest, I don't use a mac but use an E-Mu 0404 usb for interfacing with the pc. (I make up for the lower pc speed by using a DSP card)
For an inteface, compare max sample rates, good quality 24bit or better a/d converters, with monitoring facilities. I still however use a mixer (Folio F1) before this as it warms up the sound, allows you to have a little bit of gain on the mixer and a little bit of gain on the interface equals less background noise than loads of gain on the interface alone. Also with the interface, you tend to get just 2 balanced ins or so , whereas with my desk I have loads. I can put 3 mics on my acoustic guitar rather than be limited to 2.
Hi Forrest,
I use an iMac for recording (used it for recent album). Like Arlie said, you'll need an interface to connect any audio stuff to the Mac ie to convert audio to digital. There's quite a few on the market - I suggest you google 'em and look at magazine reviews - Sound on Sound mag does a lot of reviews.
I use an Edirol UA25EX, which is spot on - but I think they've been taken over by another company - 'Cakewalk' possibly. I'd advise you to get a good one because the interface is the first stage in getting the sound from your instruments and mic into your Mac/Garage Band setup so it's crucial to how your recordings will end up sounding.
I'm using LogicExpress - which is the next step up from Garage Band and wasn't too expensive at all for what it does. Never used Garage band but it looks straightforward to use.
The Edirol interface I use also has an audio output which I feed into a pair of decent monitor speakers which are much much better quality than the Mac internal speakers.
To sum up - I'd say get a decent audio interface and a decent pair of active monitor speakers (or separate amplifier and speakers).
Oh, and one other thing... you do need a good spec fast Mac with plenty of RAM so everything runs smoothly - digital recording does ask a lot from the computer.
Cheers and good luck!
There a some rather inexpensive interfaces out there with XLR inputs.
I'm not familiar with Macs, do they have a stereo "line in"? and do you have the PA mixer from your gigging days? If you answered yes to the 2nd Q, does it have a "Line out"?
Perhaps you can see where I am going with this line of questions.
I used to have a Tascam 424 connected to my PC in this fashion
monitor out to PC line in
I'm a newbie to home recording. I've got a Mac and I used to gig. I have a couple of pretty good AKG mics I used on stage and I want to know if I can use them to record on Garage Band, and if so, what I need to make this happen. My budget is limited.

QuickTime (MP4) | iOS MP4
The new tablet driven mixer from Behringer announced at Namm 2014 is the X18. It has no dock, just a place to put your tablet - I say tablet and not iPad because, although it currently works with the iOS app for controlling the on-board DSP functions of the mixer, an Android app is expected sometime soon. Behringer are using the in built Wifi router to allow any thing to connect without the being tied to the ever changing connector.
Check the video and the Behringer site for more features.
Expected price $799
Such a great idea... until my iPad runs out of charge!
23-Jan-14 04:16 PM
pretty hard to plug your charger into the same outlet the console is in huh...
24-Jan-14 02:21 AM
Would be nice to have a USB charger point , but not the end of the world, I guess exitsting customers will be looking for aes pairing with existing products, but as it is this x18 will do me, nice product guys.
24-Jan-14 05:57 AM
"pretty hard to plug your charger into the same outlet the console is in huh... "
Not really, but why NOT put charging ability in an $800 product?

My favorite part about the Behringer X18 is the wireless iPad control and what makes it even better is that I don't have to go buy another router!! Behringer has really made me happy!! You would think this mixer would cost $1,500 but I have heard window price is going to be a little above $600!! Great job Behringer!!!!

Advancing to a new level of financial development by recognizing donors and showcasing the increasing importance of public funding, Anoka-Ramsey Community College honored approximately 300 donors and guests who have supported the college's scholarship programs with a black-tie Legacy Dinner, Friday, Nov. 30 at the Courtyards of Andover. The special event, common for four-year institutions, was the first of its kind for a two-year institution in the Minnesota Colleges and Universities system.
Attendees were treated to a complimentary gourmet dinner and a program featuring guest speaker, Cyndy Brucato, KSTP 5 Eyewitness News anchor, and testimonials from current scholarship recipient, Samantha Armstrong, and past scholarship recipient, Shaun Georges.
"The first annual Legacy Dinner was an unprecedented event to recognize and thank donors who themselves recognize the importance of an Anoka-Ramsey Community College education in the lives of students," says the college President Dr. Patrick M. Johns. "Hearing Samantha and Shaun attest to the difference their scholarships made to their lives was truly inspirational."
Contributors who have given $50,000 or more to the campus foundations for scholarships were inducted into the newly-established Legacy Club, receiving individual recognition, a plaque and a blown-glass award, individually created by college faculty member and renowned glassblowing artist, Bob Toensing.
Legacy Award recipients included: Juanita and Chuck Peterson, Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Coon Rapids Lions Club, Geri and Darby Nelson, Pam and Jim Deal, the Ramsey Lions Club, Peoples Bank of Commerce, Woodland Development Corporation, Unity Hospital Auxiliary, Unity & Mercy Hospitals, the Family of Dora Keillor, and Possis Medical.
In addition to the Legacy Club, the college also established the following giving levels:
The Legacy Dinner was made possible through financial support from Connexus Energy, which contributed $10,000, thus insuring no scholarship donations were necessary for expenses.
"It was a very impressive event," says James H. McCormick, chancellor of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, who also attended the event. "It was wonderful to see such support from the community for the mission of the college."
