By Mumtaz Alam Falahi, TwoCircles.net,
Patna: A week after getting elected as rector (vice-chancellor) of Darul Uloom Deoband, Maulana Ghulam Mohammed Vastanvi, seems to have courted a controversy by saying All is Well in Gujarat under chief minister Narendra Modi, an accused in the 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom.
A leading English daily quoted the Maulana in a news report on 19th Jan. 2011 as saying: All communities are prospering in Gujarat and there is no discrimination against the minorities in the state as far as development is concerned.
Darul Uloom Deoband mosque
When TwoCircles.net contacted MBA degree holder Maulana Vastanvi to verify his statement in Times of India the Surat (Gujarat)-based cleric said: "Muslims are doing businesses here. They are getting education. There has been no violence in the last eight years. They are living peacefully in Gujarat. Now tell me my son, what should I say? Should I say Muslims are oppressed here, they are facing atrocities. If I say so, Modi will ask me where are the oppressed Muslims, and then how many such Muslims will stand behind me?
"Why should I create a controversy by saying everything is wrong in the state and nothing is good for Muslims?" he asked.
On the Gujarat riots also he reiterated his views: The riots happened eight years ago. It was wrong. It brought bad repute to the state and the country. "But what should we do now? Should we sit and weep or should we move ahead? But it does not mean the guilty should not be punished. Those involved in the riots should be punished and justice should reach the victims," said Maulana Vastanvi who has been elected rector of Deoband after the death of Maulana Marghoobur Rahman last month.
However, on the issue of relief to riot victims, the Maulana said his complete views were not published by the paper. "As far as relief work riot is concerned, it has been carried out very well by government and people of Gujarat," the TOI had quoted him as saying.
When TCN asked him how he can say so when several hundreds of riot victims are still reported to be living in relief camps, the Maulana said this was not his complete view. "I had also said that the victims should be rehabilitated. Houses should be built for those whose homes were looted, put on fire and destroyed," he said.
According to the Maulana, he had also demanded release of innocent Muslim youths who have been put behind bars in terror cases but this also did not get space. There are hundreds of Muslims languishing in Gujarat jails in terror cases.
When I read the report of the speech of Maulana Ghulam Mohammed Vastanvi, the newly elected Vice Chancellor of the world famous Islamic seminary Darul Uloom, Deoband in The Times of India and TCN, I had the feeling that Insha Allah he will be able to do something for the Muslims in Gujarat from where he hails. He is different from the stereotypes who continue to repeat things like a parrot and do not want to move on......The Maulana has used every word cautiously based on his findings. It shows his interest in the welfare of the community and country. We also hope that under his able guidance, the Darul Uloom will be able to do things which are so necessary for the students now-a-days. We can expect a better future for the Islamic students there. We are sure that it would not have been easy for him to say what he said in the midst of strong feelings among the people about the happenings in Gujarat. We can and should win the hearts of the people by and the administrators by our proper approaches and certainly a struggle is not a solution. The Maulana is an Islamic scholar with an MBA degree. Perhaps it is the first time that a scholar of his calibre has been elected as the Vice Chancellor of the seminary. We wish them all the best and thank him for his forward looking free, frank and fearless speech delivered soon after assuming the office....It is hoped that his speech will be published in the seminary periodicals and the Darul Uloom graduates living in different parts of the country, nay world, will adopt a policy in accordance with his thinking and take the community forward to make our country a beautiful place to live in.
Living in fear, not peacefully.
Muslims of the state live in fear, and some one who is in fear cannot be at peace. As Maulana says "those involved in riots should be punished", this means, they are yet to be punished. Justice is yet to be delivered. And without justice there just can't be peace. Period.
About Vastinvi Sahab's statement
it is an stupid statement from self calling genius of muslim Society he should be dismissed form the post of head of Darul uloom deoband's Muhtamim (Chancellor)
Resign immediately and seek forgiveness
It is a very sad day for Indian Muslims. Justice has yet not delivered and fake encounters are rampant in Modi's Gujarat. Thousands of Innoncent youth in jail for fabricated charges and still justice has been side tracked by Gujarat Government. Intimidation of Activists like Teestaji and MukulSaheb has been on the rise. Please mind your business at Akkalkuva institution and do not speak on behalf of the Muslim Community of Gujarat. You are in the circles of Zafar Sareshwala's who had sold there soul to Modi. Immediately ask forgiveness from the victim of Gujarat and resign from your newly elected position of Deoband. Deoband future is in Jeopardy.
its an unfortunate day for
its an unfortunate day for indian muslims to have a person on the most respectable seat beginning his career of leading muslims in india with his praise of their most detested person... while he shud have taken head on the enemies of muslims, he has showered praises on them.... at the least, he cud just shut up
Speaking in favor of the Tyrant and Unjust ruler
As Salaamu Alaikum,
It would have been better had the respected maulana sahaab demanded justice for thousands of victims from the Gujarat pogrom instead he joined the ranks of those investors who promised more investments into the state from the recently concluded summit. The chief architect from one of the worst riots is still free and portrayed as the hero of the hindutva forces. I am not sure how Allah (swt) will be pleased with such statements...
well think positive
Take the positive out of it..I think Maulana played politics with Modi. now Modi is in the spot for dealing justly with muslims. I think this was a wise thing to do by Maulana
With due respect to Maulana,
With due respect to Maulana, inspite of being aware that the issue of Modi is very sensitive and that justice has not been done both to the victims as well Mr Modi has not been brough to book, respected Maulana should have desisted from speaking on this issue. Merely worldly progress made by Gujarat State would be of no use if the affected people at large are still suffering. Instead he should have worked towards ameliorating the problems of the affected muslims. By such misconceived statement, respected Maulana has brought disrepute to the high exalted Chair that he is occupying and brought anger among muslims. If the resoected maulana does not mend his ways, he may not be able to do justice to his job.
Shameful Statement.
In my last posting I wrongly supported 'Courtier' Wastanvi for his appointment as vice chancellor of Deoband Madrasa.
I have seen most of the office bearers of this religious educational institution of certain creed always remained controversial by their deeds or issuing unnecessary Fatwas and creating unrest among Muslims.
I congratulates TCN asking pinching question about butcher Modi and riots effected victims, he didn't answer any question comfortably, though shamelessly praising Modi and his associates.
Balanced News
Good news item. The person involved has been contacted. No one bothered to ask Maulana Vastanvi why he issued such a statement praising Modi. It is good that TCN published his full observations regarding the state of Muslims in Gujarat. It is pathetic that fuss is being made about his statement while no one botheres to know what he actually said.
Those opposing blindly have little realization that a propaganda against the elected Mohtamim of DUD is a propaganda against the universtity itself. This is an attempt by anti-DUD elements to make an image of DUD that it praises that person Hitler Modi who conducted genocide of Muslims in the state. The sooner they realize the better it would be. Those opposing the Mohtamim must consult the Shura of DUD to ask for his resignation. It will be the best way to remove the misconeption from the minds of people that they have the Shura asked resignation from Vastanvi. Time is to act wisely. Not unconsioulsy faling prey to the propagandas of anti-DUD media.
Darul-uloom has queer ways - But Muslims always are for peace
Deoband's or Barelvi's all have their own queer ways, in providing guidelines, so much so that most Muslims get frustrated to the core at their 'Fatwas' that are only useful in increasing the circulation and hits of 'Tabloid' media, online (New Media) and offline (Old timer media like Print and TV).
Nevertheless, in this case of Maulana Ghulam Mohammed Vastanvi's statement, Muslims need to understand that we have to demonstrate to the world our 'Intent of Peace'.
All through the Muslim history many a times 'Muslims' had forgiven their grave enemies for their gravest atrocities and had made them understand the 'Noble' cause of 'Islam', so much so to make their enemies see the 'Truth' and become friends of Muslims, if not embracing Islam.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) has been leading mankind in this respect, by his act of repetitively forgiving the gravest of his personal, family and other enemies and showing every Muslim who followed him what 'Islamic Nobility' really is. Muslims who had followed the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammed (Pbuh) too had one many an enemies by their 'Islamic Nobility'.
Let us hope under the new Maulana, Darul-uloom not only guide Muslims to show Gujarat, India and the World how forgiving they were but also, take steps in helping the families and off springs of victims to progress and prosperity apart from introspecting the blunders of 'Darul-uloom' in flimsy fathwas, divisive guidance with Hanafiwala and Urduwala mentality (When are you guys gonna become Muslimwalas?) and media mishandling. It is high time 'Darul-uloom' set right all these things in its own house and become a true guiding light to Muslims in the Indian Sub-continent.
Oh,Allah.. we beseech thee to guide the leaders of Muslims in Righteousness and subsequently Muslims in Righteousness.
Deobandi maulana is following the lines of his elders
What more can be expected from the Institution where Ulema-e-Hind acts as Proxy to Congress and where there is long history of compromising Islamic aqaid for the sake of Booty and power and Posts.
The mahmood madani and group have said against babari masjid,they have very long history of betraying..
open ur eyes
You are right.
Brother, you are very much right,
This is the tradition of Deoband's cleric for courting any body on power, Modi, Advani, Indira or Sonia.
They are power hungry Mullahs.
the respected newly elected
the respected newly elected rector of Darul uloom Deoband is requested that he should avoid such statements and try to uplift the causes of Muslim & seminary.
Moulana should have restrained from talking on the issue
I think Maulana vansanvi should have shown restrain while talking to media. He must remember that now he is rector of a seminary which respected world wide not by muslims only but also by fellow citzens. He must remember that his utterances may drag even darululoon in controversy. And I think if moulana is not wrong totally those who are annoyed by his statements are also not wrong. So Moulana saheb be careful while talking to english and electronic media. On should not talk on every issue which reporters want.
" Wiyh due respect to Mohtamim Saheb "
Assalam u Alaikum
Mohtamim Darul Uloom Deoband is a highly qualified person with M.B.A degree in addition to religous
qualifications.He should apply his experience of managing
institutions to improve The "Darululoom".
" Maulana saheb please keep away from politics."

Follow the footsteps of old Mohtamims
It is better to avoid any such statements, Media & judiciary is how much saffronised a simple man can't understand so please don't talk with media persons if you need to say something just release statements through press release , Put your all effort on educational and research related work
We Must Move On
I support Maulan Vastanvi. While we do not forget 2002, we must emphasize the positive, and we should participate as best we can in Gujarat's impressive development, while continuing to pursue justice. We did succeed in bringing the world's attention to the massacre. Now it is time to move on.
blind maolana.
I think maolana has gone mad, he is praising a person whos policy is based on extream muslim DUSHMANI.did he never heard of modis speeches? i cant understand based on what he is glorifing such a criminal mind modi.what he is trying to gain from such a ridiculous statment? shame on u maolana, kya tumhen besahara,bebas ouraton our bachhon ki chhikh pukar sunai nahi deti? jail me pade hue bhaiyon ki fehrist tumari nazron se nahi guzri? kya zindagi our maal o daulat se itna pyar hai ke achhe our bure ki tameez bhool gaye? u hurt millions of muslims. SHAME ON U IF U HAVE SAID THE SAME STATMENT WHAT IS CIRCULATING IN MEDIA.
what a non sense idea. the person knows very well that his home not burnt his business not destroyed and his girls are not raped. he can say whatever he wants
He is right
Some ppl not understand moulana G M vastanvi's statment .i storngly belive he did not giv any wrong statment ..
Gujuatar carnage is not a
Gujuatar carnage is not a historical thing.Its various phases are still continuing.The actual incidnt itself happened only recently.The culprits including Modi got no punishment.He did not repent it.He still continues torturing of Muslims.He still support those fanatic groups who plants bombs in major cities of India, trains and Masjids.He was the caretaker of Aseemanada.The rector of a prestigious institution should never have praised a worst criminal.i think the rector do not consider the emotions of children in front of whome mothers gangraped and fathers burnt alive.A supporter of Modi never should be the rector of deoband.
Seems greed plays a very
Seems greed plays a very important role in his life, for sure he is going to get a photo opt with Modi, a house / land in Gujarat may be some cash even. After all he is an MBA, nice thinking. Good retired life.
Irresponsible Person
He should be immediately out of Deoband.
Vastanvi is a Sangh Parivar's Nominee.
There are hundreds and thousands of Maulanas in India with professional degrees in Engineering,Medicine and Social Sciences,it is a different matter that they first became Doctors,Engineer,Professors and then Islamic Scholars.[Tableegi Jamaat is full of Professionally qualified Maulanas/Islamic Scholars.],What is so great about having an MBA degree?In Academic Muslim/Islamic world it is hardly a qualification.Is Darul Uloom Deoband or for that matter Nadva or Al Azhar or Jamia Nizamia Hyderabad or MANUU OR Jamia Millia Islamia or Jamia Hamdard or AMU short of Professors in Islamic studies,Muftis and Phd Scholars with Doctorates in Arabic,Islamic studies, Persian,Urdu and English.Darul Uloom Deoband has several highly qualified teachers like Maulana Madrasi who is an Engineer by qualification and an Islamic Scholar of International repute.Infact their is this beautiful photograph of Masjid Rashidia in TCN story,this Masjid is a technical marvell and this is the personal and professional contribution of Maulana Madrasi apart from taking Bhokhari Shareef classes at Darul uloom Deoband.We also have Nationally acclaimed Professor Akhtarul Wassey a well known Islamic Scholar and HOD of Jamia's Department of Islamic studies.Are the Muftis teaching in the above Institutions in anyway less than High Court/Supreme Court Judges.Technically a degree of Mufti is equal to Professorship.Why are we muslims victim to the targetted propaganda that Maulanas/Islamic Scholars are uneducated? Only Mr.Ghulam Mohammed Vastanvi MBA,the darling of Anti Muslim Press and Anti Muslim Gujarati VHP President Praveen Bhai Togadia/Narendra Modi is an educated Maulana/Islamic Scholar.Despite printing Huge apology advertisements in Jewish/Zionist controlled Urdu press[22-01-11]this Munafiq defends himself by smartly repeating what he had apologised for in today's HT-[22-01-11].Can Vastanvi's qualifications match the required qualifications of a sheikh of an Islamic University of the sature of Darul-uloom-Deoband? Does he stand any where near late Maulana Ali Miyan Nadvi[rh] or Maulana Qadri/Qadir Pasha of Jamia Nizamia Hyd.or any of the former sheikhs of Darul Uloom Deoband.The only qualification in which he superseeds all is his closeness and patronage of Sangh Parivar.This conspiracy against Islam and Islams strongest University Darul Uloom Deoband could not succeed and lies exposed before all with Vastanvi offering to resign,thanks TCN.May Allah protect him from commiting suicide for commiting such a conspiracy against Islam.
Why Vastanvi is a Good Choice
There is no evidence to suggest Maulana Vastanvi's close association with the Sangh Parivar. It is also not true that his main asset is his MBA degree. He is being supported for his past achievements in the field of madrasa development, his independent thinking and his propensity to building bridges with other communities.
Vastanvi is a Sangh Parivar's Nominee.
First of all Mr. A. Sohail Siddiqui should learn English from a better institution so that he can convey a message in properly written English. Now coming to him calling Khadim-ul-Quran Hazrat Maulana Gulam Vastanvi Sahab a "Munafiq", I wonder how he has derived such a claptrap word for him. Mr. Siddiqui, you can go through his entire life, right from his childhood, find one such instance where there is an act of "Munafiq-ism" from him. I have no doubt that you are a SHIA follower and Muslims knows it very well that who are Munafiqs and who loves Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq(R.A.) and Hazrat Umar ibn Khattab(R.A.). You must be aware of all the deeds of your so called forefathers during the regime of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq(R.A.) and Hazrat Umar ibn Khattab(R.A.) and try to meditate yourself whenever you get time and judge yourself first before justifying anyone else a "Munafiq".
We acclaim supremacy as well as authenticity of late Janab Maulana Ali Miya Nadvi(R.A.) and other great members of governing body in University of Deobandh but that does not mean that such qualities does not exist in Khadim-ul-Quran Hazrat Maulana Gulam Vastanvi Sahab, and who are you to decide that how close or far he is from his fore-governors? Mr. Siddiqui, you are a hair in wheat flour, no one will recognize you when you are departed, so better you know yourself first, and before I come to this conclusion that you are an agent of Zionist or lesser SHIAs, better you change your conduct and avoid such controversial statements.
Second, you have tried to judge the pious position of Vice Chancellor of one of the Greatest Islamic Institution of the world on the basis of professional qualification, whereas this reputed position has always been achieved by doing great deeds and conducts and years of striving hard in front of Allah (S.W.T.). Thousands of Islamic Madressas and Masjids are being constructed and firm up under Khadim-ul-Quran Hazrat Maulana Gulam Vastanvi Sahab's superior abilities and surveillance. Running such institutions and Masjids requires a huge contribution and efforts and he has never shied away from making such efforts and his entire life has gone into serving Ummah. Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, we are happy that Khadim-ul-Quran Hazrat Maulana Gulam Vastanvi Sahab is now going to dedicate his life to serve one of the greatest Islamic Institution, and there is nothing that you or your sponsors can do about it. Apart from all, the Shurahs who has selected Khadim-ul-Quran Hazrat Maulana Gulam Vastanvi Sahab are far better judge of a person then you and your sponsors. Also notice that these people always see contribution, efforts and abilities to choose a wise person on this honorable seat.
Apart from all, he is not like you media people who conceal truth to be revealed in front of people by taking under table money. Further, it is you media people who have twisted his statement just for your own TRP's sake and own benefits. You media people are always bar against justice, don't you see "Arushi Talwar's Case"? Why there is no judgement following on this case? It is because of you greedy and characterless people who do not give proper news to the viewers. You media people always depend on sources which may be wrong at times that is what happened in Arushi Talwar's case. Please do your deeds with dedication to truth.
vastanavi is good vc for darul uloom
he is very good person
his statement's no cleanchit for modi(kafir)
Views on Story happens with Moulana Vastanvi.
Assalam u Alaikum,
I have met Moulana Vastanvi Sahab at "Darul uloom Rahmania,Mahabubnager" in the year 2007/2008
I have seen him,Mashallah,his speech,his taqwa,his simpleness, every thing is admirable.
I am praying Allah (SWT),Please forgive me and him and all Ummathe Muslima if any mistake happen which we know or dont know. Aameen!

Ethics and Public Service
The Ethics and Public Service program at North Central College addresses issues of leadership at a time of deepening concerns about ethical lapses in many areas of public life. You'll examine the ethics and challenges of serving the public interest and gain a greater ability to analyze the growing complexity of public policy, its consequences and its relationship to ethics.
This program will prepare you for:
- Consulting in nonprofit organizations
- Becoming an agent of change in your community through effective writing and speaking
- Serving in leadership roles on boards
While addressing the needs of those already in leadership or in public service, or those who aspire to lead and serve, this program will also help you act as a public intellectual or advocate—an emerging need in areas such as health care, the environment, nonprofit management and the legal system. You'll learn to help organizations and the general public understand, analyze and take appropriate, ethical action through courses like:
- Introduction to Public Policy and the Legal Process
- The U.S. Health Care System and Patient Advocacy
- Ethics, Public Interest Groups and the Political Process
- Community Development: Planning Housing and Social Justice
- Environmental Economics
The curriculum reflects a long-held commitment at North Central College to community service, principled leadership and social change. It examines policy through the lens of the humanities and leadership theory, which distinguishes it from a master's in public administration (M.P.A.) or a master's in public policy (M.P.P.). The Ethics and Public Service program is perfect for people like you who desire to serve the public interest with a vocation that links you to the larger community.

Almost 700,000 students will enrol in Australia in the next eight years resulting in an additional 1700 schools being built.
A report in The Australian, "Schools to chalk up massive growth" indicated that the federal Department of Education is expecting an additional 670,000 students by 2020.
The majority (520,000) will be in primary schools with the Independent Schools Council of Australia predicting that more than 1700 schools will need to be built. While government schools will enrol most of the new primary students, the department expects the trend of growing numbers of student attending independent schools for their secondary education to continue.
Almost 350,000 primary students are expected to enter government schools, equivalent to about 1000 new schools, compared with 100,000 in Catholic primary schools, requiring an extra 237 schools, and 76,000 in independent schools, requiring an extra 155 schools.
The department expects fewer than 20,000 additional students in government high schools compared with 47,000 extra students in Catholic schools but more than 80,000 more secondary pupils in the independent sector. An extra 320 independent schools – a third more – will be required if the sector's share of students remains constant.
Average enrolment in independent schools had almost doubled over the past two decades from approximately 273 in 1980 to approximately 491 today but independent schools have smaller class sizes than Catholic or government schools.
Need for 1700 more schools, says report (Education Review)

The Graduate Program

The Graduate Program: An Informal Guide (2016-2017)
Application information
December 15, 2016 is the deadline for applications to the Anthropology Department graduate program for admission in Fall 2017. Princeton University's Graduate School Admissions Office application is entirely online, including the submission of all application materials: résumé, transcripts, writing sample, the application essay (personal statement), and letters of recommendation. In applying to the Anthropology graduate program, please follow Graduate School Admissions directions. All questions about application procedures (e.g., fees, paper GRE and TOEFL deadlines, etc.) should also be directed to the Graduate School Admissions Office.
Once the online application process is closed, the Admissions Office forwards all applications to the Anthropology department in time for our review. Our departmental website – including this section – is designed to anticipate many questions about our academic program, including faculty and student interests. For academic program questions not addressed here, you may e-mail our Graduate Administrator . Review of applications is made by Anthropology faculty acting together as a committee of the whole. Note that our program offers courses in sociocultural anthropology only. We admit a small number of students each year, making admission to our graduate program highly competitive; the admissions process, though, is designed to provide for close attention to each individual application. We look forward to reading your application.
Application considerations. Graduate training in anthropology at Princeton prepares students for ethnographic fieldwork in the context of a larger plan of curiosity-driven primary research. Consequently, when we read an application, we pay careful attention to the applicant's academic background in relation to his or her intellectual goals. While an undergraduate (or other previous) concentration in sociocultural anthropology is not required, prior coursework in that discipline is desirable. Either way candidates should provide writing samples or other evidence of their ethnographic imagination and readiness to participate in the small intensive seminars that are the mainstay of our program.
Please note that we do not expect applicants to select a single mentor, nor do we expect applicants to have settled on a particular specialty or dissertation topic, since we recognize that the interests of admitted students may well change in the course of the first year (see below). We encourage this kind of flexibility, and accordingly look for evidence of both the breadth and depth of an applicant's interests.
Overall, we look to the application to gain an understanding of an applicant's accomplishments in relation to current engagements and future goals. Because anthropology assumes the importance of language in fieldwork settings, we ask that you address in your essay the language competency you will need to carry out your proposed research and your plans to acquire that competency if you do not already have it. Reviewing this whole website (including information about current faculty and students) will be useful preparation for writing your application essay – since we will be interested in your expectations with regard to how we might contribute to your goals.
Placement. Our program is designed to prepare students for academic careers in anthropology and related fields, as well as careers in other sectors in which ethnographic engagement is the primary mode of inquiry and analysis. Please click on this link for a list of recent graduate placements.
Funding: special features
Basic Princeton fellowship support for Anthropology Department students in good standing is for five years. All Anthropology graduate students are offered the same basic fellowship package – a structural equality that promotes graduate students' collegiality.
Summer funding: our students use the summers after the first and second years to advance their doctoral fieldwork planning with language training, field site exploration, and the development of collegial networks and institutional affiliations related to possible field projects. Several competitive awards are available within the University to make this possible. Most of our students take advantage of these opportunities, which have in turn enabled them to apply successfully for external (i.e., non-Princeton) dissertation research funding . Subsequently, our students have also been successful in securing post-fieldwork dissertation write-up fellowships from University and other sources (like ACLS and Charlotte Newcombe).
You may use your fellowship funding to begin dissertation fieldwork. We expect our students to apply for external dissertation research grants: with such outside funding, it is sometimes possible to stop one's University fellowship "clock", enabling one to reserve part of those funds for dissertation write-up. Princeton fellowships may also be used to begin dissertation research prior to the start-up of an external grant, or even to carry out the main dissertation research itself.
Graduate program: special features
Time to degree: The graduate program in anthropology requires only two years of "residency" (time spent on campus taking courses), at which point students are eligible to take the PhD qualifying General Examination ("Generals"). After passing their Generals and developing a research plan for formal presentation to the department, most students commence dissertation field research sometime during their third year, completing the PhD in about six years.
We offer students a rigorous, historically-informed orientation to contemporary sociocultural anthropology. We expect all of our students to cultivate interests outside of their specialties by participating together in seminars offered by faculty or designed in conjunction with fellow students—a collegial pedagogy that promotes intellectual resourcefulness. Everyday realities of department life facilitate this educational goal:
Admissions and advising philosophy: The small size of the department and our centralized department space – including a large graduate study area with a carrel for each student – enable faculty and students to develop a collegial familiarity. A graduate student's relationship with his or her advisory committee is the main axis of his or her personal program; that said, we encourage all students to work closely with as many faculty as possible.
Each first-year student is assigned a mentor – not necessarily in his or her main areas of interest – to encourage faculty and entering students to meet in a substantive way outside of the classroom. Our admissions and advising philosophy fosters shared faculty commitment to each student's progress; at the same time, it encourages intellectual versatility and flexibility among our students. After the first year, students choose their own committees (two members in the second year, three or four in the third year and beyond).
Course of studies: disciplinary formation and transformation
The first- and second-year courses of studies are organized to facilitate broad student-faculty exchanges, through formal studies as well as through department events (e.g., colloquia, post colloquia "brown bag" discussions, and student research proposals and dissertation defenses).
While some students hold fast to the topical or theoretical interests that led them to apply to graduate school in the first place, change is normal, and we encourage students to review and revise their plans as their interests develop. Our goal is to recruit imaginative scholars whose engagement and versatility will lead them to explore (and pursue) new goals in the course of their studies. We are committed to maintaining an atmosphere in which intellectual transformation is the norm.
Students may take courses in other departments at Princeton and (on a limited basis) at other universities belonging to the Consortium of which Princeton is part (including Penn, Rutgers, NYU, Columbia and others); however, the core of our graduate program consists of "departmentals" (i.e., courses offered by our Anthropology Department faculty):
Students take two departmentals per semester, for a total of eight departmentals during the four semesters of residency; in addition to their two departmentals, each semester students take at least one additional course either in the Anthropology Department or elsewhere at Princeton and/or Consortium universities. Departmentals have included full-semester courses, half-semester seminars, and student-initiated tutorials (called "reading courses": go here for a sampling of past student-generated themes).
The first-year program is anchored by a required, two-semester Proseminar (ANT 501-502), taught by two faculty members, that provides an historically informed understanding of contemporary interests. Additionally, a required Co-seminar (ANT 541) – which first- and second-year students take together – is taught on a new topic and by a different faculty member each year. The second-year program is anchored by students' work preparing for the second-year General Examination ("Generals") with their faculty committee.
Departmental course offerings reflect the faculty's evolving research interests, which overlap in productive ways in areas of critical translation, reflexivity, ethnography and field practice; law, politics and the state; political economy, consumption, commodity-life, and forms of exchange; ritual, religion, and socialities; race, gender, and sexuality; medicine, psycho-social life and subjectivity; visual culture and media; and science, disciplinarity, and education. Our regional interests encompass the US, Europe, Latin America, West Africa, North Africa and the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and the island Pacific; associated faculty work in Russia and East Asia.
After successful completion of first- and second-year requirements, students work with their committees to draft research applications for external grants and a research proposal for oral presentation to the department community. Most commence dissertation research sometime during the third year, returning in the fifth year to begin writing the dissertation.

The Pebble is the Kickstarter-famous swartwatch that serves as a second screen for your iPhone. (It's hardly the only watch of this kind: the Sony SmartWatch and Cookoo are other examples.) The Verge has a review that includes this interesting bit:
Any incoming notification will quietly buzz the Pebble and light up the screen. Frankly, it's great — being able to see who's texting, emailing, or calling you without looking at your phone changes the entire dynamic of being connected. The upside is obvious: only reaching for your phone when it's something important means you reach for your phone much less often. (I particularly enjoy screening calls from my wrist.) The downside is that it's harder to simply ignore your phone and let messages stack up while you focus on something else; having the Pebble buzz your wrist for every email and text means you're hyper-aware of your inbox at all times. Some filters and priority settings would go a long way — having a Pebble changes the contours of distraction, but doesn't reduce it. But once you're used to having notifications on your wrist, it's hard to live without them. [emphasis added]
All too often, new technologies just change "the contours of distraction" rather than push them back.

So you want to know which statistics you need to master to be a professional women's tennis player?
Better get your return game going.
As Reeves Wiedeman of The New Yorker wrote in 2012: "The serve is tennis's slam dunk, home run, and Hail Mary." He would later go on to praise Serena Williams' serve as threatening to overshadow the entire game of women's tennis.
He couldn't have been more wrong on either count.
In fact, Williams wins no more service games than the other players in the top five of the tour. She manages 64.4 percent, while the others succeed up to 71.6 percent (in this case, world No. 3 Maria Sharapova).
Although it is vital to win service games as a whole, it appears that the mere threat of the big stick is irrelevant.
So what makes a winner, then? Mostly the return game.
For comparison's sake, the top five women on the WTA, Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka, Sharapova, Agnieszka Radwanska and Li Na, will be compared to each other and to No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova and No. 49 Stefanie Voegele. The results are clear.
The best offense is a good defense.

The Choir: Sing While You Work, Episode 4: Review
October 12, 2012 by David Lintott
Filed under Reviews
THE CHOIR, Thursday 11th October, BBC2, 9pm
Stephen Fry is the archetypal national treasure, having spent thirty years in the public eye as a comedian, novelist, and raconteur. He is beloved of people Left and Right, young and old. Ditto Sir David Attenborough. Recently, divisive figures like Boris Johnson and Jeremy Clarkson have been anointed into this prestigious club, muddying the waters as to what constitutes national treasure status. It's as if all that's required is to be over the age of forty, preferably with a long-running presence on the BBC, and to possess obligatory Middle England curtain-twitcher appeal.
The Choir's Gareth Malone, 37, is fast approaching national treasure status, despite looking like one of the leads in a primary school production of Jeeves and Wooster. With his unwavering smiley upbeat persona, Gareth wouldn't know anxiety if it grabbed him by his bow tie and smacked him in the face. He's a bit too nice. Someone needs to cut his endorphin supply.
This week Gareth visits the Midlands to gather 30 Severn Trent Water employees to sing in his choir. Severn Trent Water is very corporate, with 5,000 employees in a wide range of departments: from sewage maintenance technicians to the fatcats in the seventh floor boardroom.
After scouring the company far and wide, Gareth whittles down the candidates by getting them to sing the classic nursery rhyme Row, Row, Row Your Boat, culling the weakest tryers before working out which sections of the orchestra to shoe-horn in the successful singers.
Gareth umms and ahhs over his selection like a seasoned football manager tinkers with formations, unable to decide whether to go with the operatic equivalent of a continental 4-3-3 system or a traditional 4-4-2. Personally I'd have gone with a false nine, but this analogy's already careering off the road and into a garden wall, so let's move swiftly on…
Leakage technician Josh is earmarked for the high tenor role until he has to pull out due to family commitments, which is a shame as he does have a good voice and evidently some untapped potential. Gareth even describes him as a "rough diamond�?.
The makeshift choir vote on which song to sing, with Take That's The Flood a popular vote until senior manager Andy Smith pisses on everyone's chips: �?Flooding's not a good concept… sadly we did flood a treatment works in 2007 so we just have to be careful with that.�? Smith displays comic timing that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of The Office.
The choir settle on Ready for the River and perform it in front of some "real men�? who wear fluorescent jackets and dig roads to much acclaim.
Gareth takes time to visit a sewage works and asks the worker: "what's the worst thing you've had come through the sewer?�? Who responds matter-of-factly with the bizarre revelation: "We had a man's willy come through once.�?
Baffled, I spent the rest of the show trying to work out how a penis found its way into a sewer. Frankly, I've got absolutely no idea. But it would make for a more interesting show than this one.

Hosea 4:16, 1214comment (0)
December 6, 2012
By Robert Olsen

Explore the Bible
Assistant Professor of Christian Ministries, University of Mobile
Rebuking Destructive Behavior
Hosea 4:1–6, 12–14
Spiritual Decay (1)
This section of Hosea focuses on Israel as a nation. Just as Hosea's wife was unfaithful, so too was Israel unfaithful to God. God used Hosea's wife as an image of the spiritually adulterous behavior of the Israelites.
The judgment is for the entire nation of Israel — all those who inhabit the land. Interestingly, the same land that the Israelites lived in had been inhabited by the Canaanites, a race that did not acknowledge God either. God had judged the Canaanites, and now He was judging the Israelites for the same behavior. The Israelites did not acknowledge God. This does not mean that they did not know who God was or even what He expected from them. Rather it indicates that the Israelites lived in a way that did not match God's expectations. Even today many people claim to know God and love God, but their actions suggest otherwise. A true indicator of a Christian is that they love God not only in word, but also in deed and attitude.
Lawless Society (2–3)
God points out the sins that the Israelites have committed, bringing judgment upon themselves. The list includes murder, stealing and adultery. These are violations of the Ten Commandments. Because of these sins the land itself is languishing. Sometimes God brings judgment upon nations by bringing natural disasters such as drought and famine. However, just because God brings judgment in this fashion at times does not mean that every natural disaster is necessarily God bringing judgment for a certain reason. Christians need to be careful about claiming that disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes are God judging a certain nation or city. In Israel's case, their actions had brought condemnation from God and this extended to the land as well.
Failed Leadership (4–6)
In particular, God is bringing His case against the priests in the land. As those who are charged with teaching the people God's Word and acting accordingly, they are held accountable for the bad actions of the Israelites. Handling God's Word is a very important task. Our Christian leaders and pastors need to be sure to preach God's Word in its entirety so that the people know what God says and what He expects. For example, in many churches across the land cultural elements have crept in to replace biblical truth. Many churches have asserted that homosexuality is acceptable to God and that all religious faiths lead to God. Furthermore, in many churches gossip and grudges reign and are not confronted. We need to be praying for our church leaders because of the great responsibility they have.
Sick Religion (12–14)
The Israelites were guilty of following idols and false gods, which led to sinful behavior. Worship of Baal required temple prostitution, and these behaviors crept into worship of Yahweh. Because of this, the Israelite children did the same things. They were only following the example set by their parents.
For Christian parents today, this is a dire warning. Our children will learn about God from us, and they will see where our faith lies. For the Israelites, their faith was in foreign gods. If we put our faith in the government or in the stock market for our security, what does this say about our faith in God? Can we expect our children or even non-Christians to take our faith seriously when we put our hope in things seen rather than in God and His promises? This is not to suggest that the government or businesses are not important, but Christians are to place their hope and security — both financial and eternal — in God. Many Christians live in a way where God is only acknowledged in church on Sundays. What does this teach our children about God if He is supposedly supreme but only takes part in our lives one day a week? Christians need to realize that God is God of everything, not just certain aspects of our lives.

Let x be the bottom side of the smaller right triangle. Let H1 be the hypotenuse of the big right triangle and H2 be the hypotenuse of the smaller right triangle. Now, you can represent sinA, sinB, cosA, and cosB in terms of all these sides. So, we plug them into your right hand side (the double angle identity of sin(A - B) is needed to isolate all of the above):
Now if this was really representative of h, then this entire expression should simplify to h. Can you show that?

The Cuban government will expand the list of agricultural products for which direct sales are allowed between tourist industry establishments and farmers as part of the "adjustments" it will implement to update the island's socialist economic model, official media reported Sunday.
Starting Oct. 21, a series of resolutions issued by the ministries of agriculture, finance and prices and tourism will enter into force allowing the direct purchase and sale of assorted products and services among hotels and restaurants in the tourist sector and state companies, cooperatives and private farmers.
Among the agricultural products that will be included in the new rules are those that are not processed, such as flowers, ornamental plants, rice, vegetable carbohydrates, dry condiments and chicken eggs, among others, as well floral arrangements.
The resolutions increase the number of products authorized to be sold directly to the tourist sector, Teresa Suarez, an Agriculture Ministry specialist, told the official daily Juventud Rebelde.
She noted that a resolution was first put in place in December 2011 allowing farmers and hotels to directly buy and sell unprocessed agricultural products, rice and vegetable carbohydrates.
Between January and August of this year, 187 cooperatives have been participating in direct sales to the tourist industry and those monthly sales vary between 600 and 800 tons of products, according to Agriculture Ministry data.
Among the Cuban provinces that have best consolidated their positions as direct agricultural providers to hotels and restaurants are Havana and Matanzas, Suarez said. EFE

The Ultimate Fighting Championship will return to Atlanta for the first time since hosting UFC 88 at the Philips Arena in September 2008 for UFC 146 on April 21 at the same venue.
The organization announced the date and show on Tuesday night's episode of "UFC Tonight" on FUEL TV. MMA Junkie has since confirmed that the fight card will emanate from the Philips Arena.
No fights have officially been announced for the event, but a pivotal heavyweight matchup between former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Strikeforce grand prix contestant Antonio Silva has been rumored.
UFC 88 saw an historic knockout as Rashad Evans blasted Chuck Liddell with a highlight-reel KO in the night's main event. The bout sent Liddell on the road to retirement while Evans used the win to catapult himself to a UFC light heavyweight title-winning victory over Forrest Griffin later that the year.
The promotion has also hosted UFC 11 and UFC 13 in Augusta, Georgia back in the late 1990's.

Looks like This Means War!
Yikes, an Endtown divided is a vunerable community. Catastrophe from the inside, out!
I was planning to be in bed by now. A friend called me to tell me what just happened.
this is off topic but need to warn of a horrible malware, ramsom-ware
. pretending to be from the FBI, it tells you that he has become a cyber-criminal who used child pornogrpihy and other things, And, that they have locked his computer. And that he faces up to 14 years in prison. Freaked out until it told him that he could get his computer unlocked by going to a certain store, picking up a green dot payment package and mail $200.00 to the FBI.
His computer was locked up so he asked me to get the phone number of the FBI. WHile he was calling them I was looking at the FBI webpage and it told about this is a malware, and what you have to do, like getting the malware removed, going and filing a,,, CBO or something, a complaint Against to cyber crime group, and may need his computer repaired.

Grr, it makes me angry! Manipulative people! control freaks! If someone says they're doing it in God's name, then they probably are NOT!
There is nothing but heart rendering to get a large group into action. How many now are going to walk and crowd around the homes of Wally, Linda and Maude. Pocking their noses to see what the damage was and getting interviewed by the News as an interested party. Here is Aaron's chance to show us something of the other unusual persons in the Endtown. I am looking forward to that. The odd ones we got

Any government, at some level, has to be concerned about public opinion. Governments generally have some sort of department devoted to dispensing propaganda … Endtown must surely have something of that nature.

At least seven Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, guerrillas died and five others were captured in a military and police operation in a rural portion of Tolima province in southern Colombia, the military high command said Tuesday.
The insurgents belonged to the Heroes de Marquetalia and Alfredo Gonzalez mobile columns and they had joined up to plan assorted operations on the orders of the FARC Secretariat, which functions as the governing body of the rebel organization.
The security operation was launched early Tuesday morning in the municipality of Planadas, in southern Tolima, as soon as intelligence work enabled authorities to locate the guerrillas.
Air force planes swept in to attack, after which troops from the Army Air Assault Division were deployed and made contact with the enemy.
The high command said that it would provide additional information about the operation in the coming hours.
This operation comes after another air strike launched last Sunday morning in eastern Arauca province which killed 14 guerrillas. One rebel also turned himself in to army troops in the vicinity and another was captured.
Meanwhile, the guerrillas have staged two attacks with explosives recently, the first on Jan. 16, the day after the Christmas cease fire declared by the FARC ended, and the second on Tuesday afternoon. One person was killed in each attack. EFE

prior to the transfer of work to Central Manchester (CMFT).
Due to the need to report the work already received at PAT staff
only transferred on 18th April following completion of

If i had to choose between 2-way's or 3-ways i would go with the 2-ways. I think that 3-ways and up produce too much treble. I know the second tweeter is meant to be for mid, but it just doesn't do the job.

Eating for Abs: The Beach-Body Diet Handbook
It's true that working out doesn't burn enough calories to influence fat loss by itself, but it does support muscle mass, which allows for a healthier, better-looking, leaner body. To maximize results from your weight training, you need to eat the right combination of macronutrients. As protein is the main component of muscle tissue, it must be high—aim for one gram per pound of your body weight (or target weight, as explained above).
Fat, although calorically dense, plays a crucial role in supporting the production of hormones such as testosterone, so while it must be kept fairly low to help create the caloric deficit we're aiming for, you can't cut it out completely. Get 0.4 grams of fat per pound of your body weight—so a 200-pound man would consume 80 grams daily. Most of your fat intake should come as a by-product of the protein-rich foods you eat (see "Eat Clean" for a sample list).
Now we're left with carbs, and while there's been much controversy over their role in a fat-loss diet in recent years, there shouldn't be. "You need a moderate amount of carbs to support the fueling and recovery demands of high-intensity, anaerobic-based training," says Nate Miyaki, C.S.S.N., an amateur bodybuilder, nutrition coach, and author in San Francisco. Extreme low-carb diets, especially those that substitute bacon, cheese, and other fatty foods in place of carbs, don't work long-term and (surprise!) don't support optimal health. "Training suffers when you're on low carbs," says Bryan Krahn, C.S.C.S., a New York City personal trainer. "If your carbs are really low, you can lower your metabolic rate. It's a sledgehammer approach to weight loss and it's unnecessary; you can just lower your calories."
As with protein, aim to eat one gram of carbs for every pound you weigh.
Understand that these numbers are just a starting point. They should allow you to lose one or two pounds per week initially (more if you're heavier), but if your weight loss stops dead for more than one week, cut your calories and readjust your numbers. Drop to 11 calories per pound first and, later, 10. Note that losing more than two pounds per week does not equate to greater fat loss. Losses that are extreme are more likely to come from water or, worse, muscle mass, so a steady but gradual diet is ideal. Reports of people who've lost weight any faster can't be trusted.

IMG Academy golf program gets back to the game's roots in Scotland
Recently, the IMG Academy golf program had a chance to get back to the game's roots with a trip to Scotland. Eight IMG Academy student-athletes, accompanied by coaches Jay Denton and Andrew Oliphant, traveled to the home of golf. The players had the opportunity to play on the historic St. Andrews circuit of courses including Old Course, New Course, Jubilee and Kingsbarns, with an additional stop at Leven Links. The experience gave the players a chance to learn how to play different surfaces and work on their techniques, while also braving the elements during one of the nation's coldest winters on record. It was also an opportunity to take in some of the local arts and culture in and around Edinburgh, Scotland. Student-athletes Ian Colliard, Guillermo Cortina, Camilla Serrano, Santiago Miranda, Luis Miranda, Andrea Rahandini, Tim Turnham and QiMing Wong were the players to make the trip this year. It was the fourth consecutive year that IMG Academy has organized a trip to Scotland.

Leous '79, MBA '82; Hassett Jr. '62 Receive LaSalle Medals
BUFFALO, NY - The Canisius Alumni Association conferred LaSalle Medals upon Deborah C. Leous '79, MBA '82 and Paul M. Hassett Jr. '62, during commencement ceremonies in May. The LaSalle Medal is presented to alumni who have made substantial contributions to advance the interests of Canisius.
From class reunion committees to Canisius Fund call nights and service on the Boards of Trustees and Regents, Leous is steadfast in her dedication to alma mater. She currently mentors undergraduate accounting students, as a member of the Council on Accountancy, and similarly guides graduate students via her role on the MBA Mentoring Committee. Leous is also chair of the Business Advisory Council, which ensures that Canisius students graduate with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful.
Leous is chief financial officer for Florida's Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority. She holds bachelor's degrees in accounting and French from Canisius, as well as an MBA.
Paul Hassett is equally loyal to alma mater, despite his busy law career as senior managing partner at Brown & Kelly LLP.
Hassett is chair of the Pre-Law Advisory Council, and facilitates law-related internship opportunities for students. He is also a generous contributor to the Hassett Family Endowment. The endowment funds the Contemporary Writers Series and its annual Hassett Reading, which brings world-renowned Irish and Irish-American writers to campus.
Hassett previously served on the Board of Regents, his class reunion committee and as a Canisius Fund volunteer.
In accepting the LaSalle Medal, Hassett remarked, "I've never done anything for Canisius with the expectation of receiving an award. Everything I've done and continue to do is to my way of paying back Canisius for all it's done for me and my family."
He holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Canisius and a juris doctorate from Georgetown Law School.

Sutton's reputation is well earned.
If I rated books by how high they made my eyebrows raise, I'd award Never Without Hope top Vulcan Honors. But along with the edgy content- and I do mean edgy, is an equally powerful message about forgiveness and God's grace.
Hope's life is such a train wreck, I wanted to reach right into the book and pull her off the tracks. She's cheating on her husband, lying to her family, and sleeping around in cars (okay, technically just that once- but still). She's headed for disaster.
Sutton built a sense of urgency in the first half of the book which made it hard to put down. I just knew this situation would blow up in Hope's face, and couldn't stop reading until it did.
I would consider this a nontraditional romance because the heroine spends the first half of the story with a man who is not the hero. This leaves the reader with a sense of unease that I can't help but think was intentional on the author's part. We feel the despair and the weight of her sin right along with Hope.
That connection to the characters is where Sutton really shines. Their emotions were authentic and heartbreaking and sometimes scary. She showed just how easy it is to fall into temptation when we don't keep our guards up. But best of all, she showed that with repentance, forgiveness exists for everyone- adulterers included. When you let Him, the Lord can repair even the most broken of marriages. With that knowledge, we're never without hope.
(And bonus points to Sutton for a rockin' book cover!)
Want more information? Here's the back cover blurb:
Hope believes she is above sexual temptation; that she would never break that commandment like her husband's previous wives had done. After all, she is a good Christian and a loving mother. She has no reason to stray . . . until her husband starts neglecting her needs and things begin to look hopeless. Though she clearly communicates her pain to her husband, he refuses to get help. She starts to wonder…Will she never have sex with her husband again? She soon learns that she, too, is capable of such betrayal when she succumbs to the unthinkable.
But things that first seemed sweet and reasonable given her painful situation soon produce a bitter taste when combined with the overwhelming guilt. No substitute will ever replace her love and desire for her husband. If only he would touch her like he used to. If only they could make love again. She misses him so much and wants to tell him the truth hoping it will propel him to do something to fix their problem, but she fears his rejection. Yet, she can't continue living such a hypocritical life. She knows it's wrong even though she continues to crave physical intimacy. Steeped in the quagmire of adultery, Hope must find her way back to solid ground to save her marriage. But will she lose everyone she loves in the process?
My Rating:
Coming Attractions:
I'll have the pleasure of talking to Michelle Sutton about her book Wednesday when she pops in for an interview. And later in the week, look for my first Thursday Thirteen.

PCI DSS were developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. They provide common data security standards on a global basis to protect confidential payment card information against theft.
Compliance to PCI DSS is mandated by the International Card Payment Schemes. But it is also a sound business practice. It protects your clients, avoids card fraud, secures your business reputation and removes the risk of fines and fees due to non-compliance in the event of a compromise.
Airlines have demanded that IATA support their own internal compliance project by making the BSP card sales channel PCI DSS compliant. The project also includes making compliant the industry communication channels. In addition, IATA addresses issues where card number is used as FOID (Form of Identification) or as FOP (Form of Payment), and develops recommendations for self-service devices (airline kiosks deployed at airports and other locations) that are using card numbers as FOID or support card payments.
In addition, IATA demands that all its service providers maintain at all times a PCI DSS compliant status, and supply every year a valid PCI DSS compliance certificate.
You will find all relevant information about PCI DSS on the following websites:

After Brooks Forester broke Des' heart, did his ex-girlfriend come to his defense?
We've come to the conclusion that The Bachelorette's Brooks Forester might be emotionally damaged. Both in his soul and in his pompadour.
How else do you explain the fact that he randomly broke up with Desiree Hartsock after spending weeks acting as though he was completely in love with her?
It made zero sense (to us and Des), but now Brooks' ex-girlfriend has come forward to shed some light on the situation.
What did Brooks' ex-girlfriend reveal? Find out here: Brooks Forester's Ex-Girlfriend Speaks Out!

TULSA, Okla. — Williams Cos. and Boardwalk Pipeline Partners plan to form a joint venture to develop a pipeline project to transport natural-gas liquids from the Marcellus and Utica shales in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania to the Gulf Coast.
Plans call for pipelines that would transport the liquids from producing areas in West Virginia and Ohio to a transmission system in Hardinsburg, Ky. There they would connect to another transport system to Eunice, La. The proposal also calls for a processing plant to be built in Louisiana.
The proposed pipeline would give producers the capacity to transport 200,000 barrels per day of mixed natural-gas liquids.
Williams and Boardwalk expect the pipeline would start operating in the second half of 2015.

Hello! Love this Battle
Posted 03 July 2014 - 12:13 AM
someone teach me how to master pls
I'm no master and I haven't been doing this very long so feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt...
There are plenty of youtube channels dedicated to mixing and mastering, although not genre specific but when it comes to mixing/mastering genre isn't really going to make a huuuge difference (for basics). I can PM you some video links if you would like. Also check out some Matthew Weiss videos, he's worked with people like gift of gab & talib and also has an online course which might be worth checking out. I find him very easy to follow and very concise in the way he talks about music mixing.
Other than that, the 2 most helpful tips I can pass on is 1. Use the high pass filter on pretty much every single sound (I often even use it on basslines) to get rid of mud and free up frequency space. and 2. Learn to use levels properly... it sounds like stupid and useless advice but you can usually get a pretty solid mix just by getting all your volumes right.
As far as mastering/loudness goes... Limiters/maximizers/compression & stereo wideners are a good start... <<sounds like a lot to take in but each of those only (usually) have a few knobs, so learn em!
Posted 03 July 2014 - 05:32 AM
Sorry I'm late. Reversed the first two notes in the sample and used the foley for random effects/perc. My entry stops at the 2 minute mark the rest is for those who are interested.
Posted 03 July 2014 - 07:18 AM
to add to the master question, make sure when you mix you mix at a low level and leave plenty of headroom for your master. im no pro either but you dont really want your final mix peaking above -6.
and just like big ED said, levels, and also dont forget to pan your trax
Posted 04 July 2014 - 05:31 AM
Dam late again! when will i learn?
Bong it up yol!!

Food retailers have been treated to a seemingly endless variety of technology applications in recent years. Yet the application they value the most continues to be the point-of-sale system, without which business comes to a halt and many other applications can't function. That was the top-line finding in SN's 12th annual State of the Industry Report on Supermarket Technology. More than half of the study's respondents (56%), who skewed toward mid-sized chains, said that POS systems ...

Last November, the Lakers made the controversial decision to hire Mike D'Antoni instead of Phil Jackson after firing Mike Brown.
At the time, Lakers vice president Jim Buss caught most of the heat. After all, fans and media alike figured that it was his decision to go with D'Antoni due to Jerry Buss' failing health at the time.
Nearly a year later, Jim Buss is saying that's not right. That it was actually his late father Jerry (who passed away in February) who made the call.
Here's what Jim Buss had to say to ESPN Los Angeles' Ramona Shelburne regarding Jackson.
Jim Buss said his father made final call on D'Antoni b/c "in the future we had to rebuild, he felt that Phil was not a guy to rebuild."— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) September 11, 2013
Jim Buss on @jeaniebuss & Phil: "I'm compassionate. I wish I could do something about that, but this was a biz decision made by our father"— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) September 11, 2013
Jim Buss on @PhilJackson11 "I consider Phil family. If he wants to work with me on a consultant basis, I'm all for it."— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) September 11, 2013
Jim Buss gave even more details of D'Antoni's hiring in Shelburne's write up for ESPN Los Angeles.
"My dad said, 'You know what? D'Antoni's the guy. I've always liked him. Showtime. I think it will be fun basketball as we make the transition [from the Kobe Bryant era],' " Jim said.
He said his father also told them to hire D'Antoni quickly.
"He said, 'Do it by Sunday night,' " Buss said. "He wanted to get it done before the weekend was over."
Of course with Jerry gone, it's impossible to know how much of this is true. Last November, we heard quite the opposite, and there were reports that Jackson requested Buss relinquish all control if Jim wanted him to accept the Lakers offer.
After the decision was made, Staples Center filled with, "We Want Phil" chants.
And Jim Buss caught most of the heat. However, he says that he was ready for it, in part because his father told him it would be coming.
Once again from Shelburne.
Jim Buss said his dad warned that he was "going to get pelted" when he took over. Jim told him that's fine as long as "you believe in me"— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) September 11, 2013
This whole conversation seems a bit strange. Is it really believable that Jerry Buss decided to go the rebuilding route with D'Antoni less than ten games into a season that had such high expectations? Just seems like a really strange decision.
As for when Lakers fans will embrace Jim?
Don't count on it happening any time soon. Jerry Buss' legacy is as one of the greatest owners in professional sports history. As of now, Jim's is simply as that owners son, the one who inherited the team.
Of course, winning cures a lot of things. But until the Lakers return to prominence, there will be no love for Jim Buss in Lakerland.
