Bailey McCann, Opalesque New York:
The latest investor asset flow data from eVestment shows that investors are piling into hedge funds like it's 2006. Investors allocated an estimated $41bn in February; the largest monthly allocation since eVestment began tracking monthly flows in October 2008. Total industry AUM of $2.93tn sits only $12bn below its all-time high set in Q2 2008.
Performance gains added an additional $45.9bn, bringing February's asset increase to $86.9bn, an increase of 3.1%. This is the industry's largest asset growth since performance gains drove a large increase in May 2009.
In terms of specific strategies, investor preferences for equity over credit persisted for its fourth consecutive month, the longest such streak since investors chased the equity market recovery in the months following the financial crisis. Despite being overshadowed by equity flows, credit strategies showed a significant rebound of investor sentiment in February, more than offsetting the flare of redemptions following the sharp uptick of interest rates in May 2013.
Event driven funds continued to receive large allocations, led by activist strategies that received an estimated $2.1bn in new capital, or roughly 41% of event driven net inflows during the month. Total AUM in funds employing activist strategies reporting to eVestment reached nearly $73bn in February.
Report data shows that investors dipped back into macro strategies in February, with positive flows t......................

ABAKAN, April 21. /TASS/. President Vladimir Putin has demanded that the authorities in the region or Khakassia, where wildfires have damaged or destroyed more than 1,400 private households, make prompt and timely repayment of compensations for the damage.
Upon arrival in the regional capital Abakan, Putin went to a provisional facility where the people, whose houses had been destroyed by the blaze, were accommodated. The president asked them if the authorities had begun to pay out compensations to them.
He received a positive answer. Khakassia governor Viktor Zimin said a total of 1,722 repayments had been made already. "I think we'll pay out 90% of all the compensation money by 01:00 hours on Tuesday," he said.
Putin will also chair a conference on the progress of reclamation works and assistance to people affected by the calamity.
A hurricane that struck the region on April 12 was one of the causes of sweeping wildfires that engulfed a number of villages and townships.
4,694 people were left without shelter. Two people died and another two are listed as missing. Preliminary estimates suggest the total damage stands at over 7 billion rubles (around $ 136 million).
Vladimir Putin said he will come to the region once again in 1.5 months to two months from now to see how private household were being reclaimed and rebuilt.

Wealth creates its own problems. Couples who are wealthy often talk less about their finances, relative to the struggling middle class, simply because no financial issue is pressing. This can lead to years of divergent spending and investment habits, along with diverging life goals—unbeknownst to either spouse. So when the need finally arises to focus on an estate plan or articulate retirement goals, there is suddenly an explosive discovery that expectations are far apart. That discovery can lead to marital strain and, in some cases, plant the seeds for divorce.
Michael Farrell, managing director of SEI Private Wealth Management, says it isn't that wealthy couples don't like talking about their dreams and aspirations—it's just that they, like all humans, prefer inertia. When given the opportunity, most people know what their answer will be when asked, "Do you want to enjoy your free weekend swinging a golf club or mulling over trust papers?"
Deepak Ohri, Chief Executive Officer of Bangkok-based Lebua Hotels and Resorts, empowers his employees to do just about whatever it takes to make sure that every guest has a luxury experience.
He says "life's truest luxuries" are those that are built around unique and memorable moments, and this iconoclastic approach to luxury, along with his company's emphasis on continuous operational improvement, are the reasons why Lebua consistently ranks on many best places to stay lists from such publications as Conde Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure. The Lebua group operates restaurants and bars in Thailand, India and New Zealand.
A lot of hoteliers make similar claims, of course, but Ohri seems to take his mantra to heart. On one occasion a private limousine was bringing a Japanese guest from the airport to a Lebua hotel in Bangkok. It crashed with a motorcycle and the accident delayed the guest's arrival by several hours. The hotel manager, who had been notified about the accident by American Express's Centurion call center, arranged for the guest to be picked up by the hotel's limo.
The gray market for luxury watches—that colorful internet-driven bazaar of unauthorized sellers often offering 40%-plus discounts on fine timepieces—is upending the global watch industry. It's also just the latest manifestation of troubles whirring under the hood of the business, already hit hard by economic and political gyrations and China's crackdown on corruption.
According to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, last year exports fell nearly 10% to $19.4 billion, its steepest decline since the global financial markets collapsed in 2009. Sales fell 25% in Hong Kong and 9.1% in the U.S.
Consider the fate of Whit Haydon, who began selling watches thirty years ago as an authorized dealer for brands like Patek Philippe, Jaeger LeCoultre, and Cartierat his Raleigh, North Carolina jewelry shop Haydon & Co. At that time the gray market "for all intents and purposes was non-existent." That's all changed. In 2009, with clients calling him up after comparison shopping online and asking him to undercut his own prices at a loss, he stopped selling timepieces altogether. "The gray market has grown to the point where I think they may sell more watches than authorized dealers do," he says.
A recent study published by Merrill Lynch and Age Wave reveals that health is the top worry when it comes to folks approaching or in retirement—88% of the affluent individuals questioned said that a "health disruption" was what most threatened their financial peace of mind. But at the same time, only 5% of them believed these matters could be discussed openly—even when they wanted to discuss them with family members.
That's a gap in communication that can be easily remedied. It's important to understand how your parents expect to proceed through their later years. "It is hard to predict what the future holds, so establish a dialogue about your parents' plans and expectations sooner rather than later," says Tim Steffen, director of financial planning at Robert W. Baird & Co., a Milwaukee, Wisc.-based employee-owned wealth management firm. It's an important topic that was recently the subject of a Barron's Penta cover story.
The global-investment firm Cambridge Associates will unveil in a couple weeks real-asset impact-investing benchmarks in real estate, infrastructure, and timber. The new benchmarks "focus on the financial performance of the private funds, categorizing them by year and size," says Jessica Matthews, managing director at Cambridge Associates. But the firm also parses its benchmarks and promise to deliver "a deep-dive analysis" on intended impacts.
Cambridge Associates is tackling an issue long bedeviling the do-good investment sector: How do you measure financial returns and impact when trying to invest in a way that positively addresses social or environmental issues? "One of the challenges in this space is the lack of knowledge, prompting people to talk about financial performance abstractly," she says. "In the context of some family offices, you often hear a debate right out of the gate speculating whether impact investing means expecting lower returns."
Facebook and Twitter are a fact of modern life and telling clients not to post at all is not an option nowadays, says Amy Zehnder, strategic wealth coach at Ascent Private Capital Management, U.S. Bank's private-banking unit for clients with $75 million or more in net worth. So, Zehnder advises clients on how to wisely maneuver such social networks—in a way that doesn't come back to bite them. Here are her quick tips on how to behave online.
How to protect yourself on Facebook. Don't opt for check-ins. Those are the GPS-driven tools that divulge your location and let other users know if you're, say, stuck waiting for a flight at the Miami International Airport or sitting down to dinner at Le Pre Catelan in Paris. Zehnder says check-ins basically announce, "I'm here right now, which means I'm not somewhere else that you'd expect"—valuable information for people with malicious intent, like breaking into your mansion. But there are other ways such disclosures can hurt you or your family. Take, for example, a family member who took a teenager to a hospital in an emergency situation, and checked into its location on the way. The family as a whole wasn't ready to tell the world about the teenager's condition, but this one action forced them into the public eye on a very private issue, says Zehnder. Moral of the story: Think hard before checking-in your whereabouts on Facebook, by asking yourself "can this lead to any unintended damage?" Better yet—ask your family to shun the check-in habit completely. It's not a huge ask.
Ned Dane is in charge of OppenheimerFunds' Private Client Group, a specialist unit of the mutual fund giant focused on serving family offices, private banks, and trusts. In partnership with Campden Wealth, he financed an extensive study of millennials in families with $30 million or more, which he shared exclusively with Barron's Penta. What caught our eye: Millennials, at least those born to wealth, might not be as conservative an investor group as previously thought.
A seminal UBS study in 2014 revealed that affluent millennials were keeping 52% of their portfolio in cash and were "markedly conservative, more like the WW II generation who came of age in the Great Depression." The OppenheimerFunds study reveals a very different picture. A quarter of the millennials it surveyed were involved in 20 or more alternative-investment deals over the past five years, exhibiting a stronger-than-expected appetite for private equity, hedge funds, and real estate. That appetite sits alongside their well-documented taste for aggressively using impact investing to meet their philanthropic objectives.
Hankering after a bauble but don't think you can afford it? Maybe you can. Capital Group Private Client Services, overseeing $20.2 billion for accounts over $5 million, had a client who was a retired-pilot and sitting on a small portfolio of restaurants and inns. He was successful in his second career and had, in the process, built up a net worth of over $30 million. The client also owned a jet, and wanted to maintain his passion for flying, but felt he couldn't because the costs of managing the hospitality portfolio was consuming too much of his cash flow.
Not an unreasonable concern. The annual operating costs of his private jet were approximately 25% of the jet's market price, says Michelle Black, head of Capital Group's wealth advisory group. So the client felt that he couldn't afford those ongoing jet bills, considering his other life goals, like charitable giving and travelling the globe during his retirement. Nor did assuming more portfolio risk, to earn greater returns, seem like a wise course of action.
Jet Linx, an Omaha-based carrier, was focused on its in-state clients for 10 years. Now the private jet manager—a kind of aviation Airbnb that allows owners to rent out their jets when not using them—is expanding to the East and West coasts after testing out its wings in Texas, Colorado, Indiana, Missouri, and Arizona.
Costs? First there is the aviation equivalent of "club membership." For $17,500, you get an executive jet card that provides you with an unlimited number of rides for the year, and lasts for life as long as you fly at least 25 hours annually. Your total costs after that depends on how much you fly and in what sort of a jet, and those hourly fees cover the pilot, hanger, insurance, and fuel costs. At Jet Linx, they come to an additional $3,375 to $8,250 per hour, depending on the jet's size. The carrier currently has 1,300 clients flying 90 jets, everything from a Hawker 400XP to a Bombardier Challenger 650. The firm's services are expected to expand next into California and New York.
Worried about the steady drum beat of inflation chatter and feel you need a low-cost hedge built into your portfolio? Consider exchange-traded-funds that invest in companies with natural resources, says Mark Carlson, senior investment strategist at FlexShares Funds, a Northern Trust unit that designs and manages ETFs for investors.
Northern Trust runs, for example, FlexShares' Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund (ticker: GUNR)—the largest natural-resources ETF with $4.1 billion in net assets—and it's an efficient way to get exposure to energy (30% of the total portfolio), raw ore and metals (30%), agriculture (30%), water (5%), and timber (5%). The fund's management fee is 0.48%, and there is no minimum investment or lock-in period. Carson urges investors to look at the ETF as a low-cost inflation hedge, not a vehicle to chase outsized returns. Since its launch in 2011, a period notable for low inflation, the FlexShare ETF has produced a 2% yield.

Preston City Council tries to remedy neighbor dispute
By Melissa Vander Plas
Wednesday, February 08, 2017 9:07 AM
A dispute over a wood stove and a cease and desist order that has been in place since 2011 dominated the Preston City Council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 17.
Dave Keene first attended the Dec. 6 council meeting to request that the council lift the order that prevented him from burning wood in his stove, which is located within his garage.
His next-door neighbor, Dianne Ruud, contends the smoke from his stove is acrid and infiltrates her home, with the furnace being located only feet from her dryer vents and windows. She stated she will sometimes return home to find the interior of her home smelling like smoke. She would like the cease and desist order to remain in effect.
During the December meeting, the council agreed to lift the order for a 30-day trial period. The item was then placed on the Jan. 17th agenda for review.
It was noted that council members had driven by the Keene home several times throughout the month, but noted they did not observe anything out of the ordinary.
Attorney Tom Manion spoke on behalf of Ruud and suggested that the council was approaching the issue from the wrong standpoint. Rather than the alleged smoke issue being a violation of the nuisance ordinance, Manion contended it was a zoning issue instead. "My proposal is that Preston would be better off if you looked at this as a zoning issue," he reiterated.
In Preston's zoning ordinance, free-standing, exterior wood furnaces are not allowed and Manion felt Keene's furnace may not look like what one would typically think of when classifying an outdoor wood-burning furnace, he argued it could be classified as one because it is located in an accessory structure, is free standing and is the primary heat source for that structure.
Keene did state that he has an alternative heating source, in the form of electric heat, so Manion's description was not entirely accurate.
After considering Manion's argument that the issue be considered a zoning violation, the city council asked for the opinion of city attorney Dwight Luhmann. He acknowledged that the city ordinance may not be "perfect" in its description of the banned wood-burning furnaces, however he did not agree that Keene's furnace in his garage was in violation of a zoning ordinance.
After considerable discussion, the council members agreed with Luhmann and continued to discuss the matter as a possible violation of the nuisance ordinance and not a zoning issue.
Keene also explained he has updated his furnace since the initial cease and desist order was placed and claims to have taken steps to work with Ruud on the issue.
Manion stated that he realizes Keene burns wood for heat, but also enjoys the act of burning, utilizing his "free use and enjoyment of his property.
He added, "However, this is distracting from my client's free use and enjoyment of HER property. It adversely affects her health needs and her property values. She is looking for this ordinance to be enforced."
The council asked Ruud if she had observed any problems during the 30 days the cease and desist order had been lifted as no formal complaints had been made during that time.
"To me, I think it was used very little," she said.
Ruud also added she was unsure as to when the 30 days were in effect. She also noted that she was away from home several days during this time visiting family and celebrating the holidays. She had notes of several days in January when Keene was burning, including on Jan. 14 late in the evening and in the early morning on Jan. 16, the day before the meeting. She stated that on Jan. 10, she noticed the smoke was especially acrid, coming into her home and burning her eyes.
Keene told the council that he had been running the furnace for three days, with family gatherings and projects he had been working on in his shop. He did not feel any unreasonable smoke was created during that time.
"You didn't make any formal complaints," councilmember Bob Maust said to Ruud. "Those of us who drove by and looked at it, we didn't notice anything."
As the council struggled with the issue and the discussions continued into the second hour, Maust suggested the council extend its lift of the cease and desist order.
"I would like to see it continue to our second meeting in February," he said. "If Dianne sees a problem during that time, she needs to call city hall and have them come and observe the problem."
The residents who claim to be affected by the smoke were discouraged by this motion. "There are other neighbors who are affected," said Dr. Dale Loeffler. "I don't know what can be achieved by giving this another month. He can change things to go in his favor."
City Administrator Joe Hoffman encouraged the residents to monitor the situation and to call city hall if there was an "unreasonable quantity of dense smoke."
The matter will once again be discussed during the second meeting in February.

It's getting late…

It's getting late…
What's on your mind? What would you like to discuss tonight? It's Saturday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
Seeing isn't always believing.
All the hoopla over "fake news" is kinda silly. Sure, some people will fall for anything. I don't really mind it, though. It helps me identify who the real idiots are. Hint: almost everyone you meet.
Of course, misrepresenting the facts is nothing new. Sometimes, it's just a joke. Sometimes, it's something taken out of context. Sometimes, though, it's an out and out lie.
One that was missed? Sure. The flag raising at Iwo Jima.
What? You didn't know that iconic photo wasn't real? Well, it was. However, it was the second flag raised. The first was a smaller flag, and there was not film crew taking pictures during the raising.
Oh, well. That's what's on my mind. But this is about you. What's on your mind? What do you want to talk about? It's Friday Night Open Thread, and it's time for you to take over and discuss whatever you want.
Who wants to start?
It's your turn.
What's on your mind? Have anything you'd like to share? A joke? A link? Advice?
It's Thursday Night Open Thread! The floor is yours.
Who wants to start?
I've always enjoyed going to the movies. Well, not so much anymore, because it's expensive. Still, there is something to be said with going out to the movies and watching something really entertaining on a big screen.
I have several hundred movies available for streaming, or ripped from DVD onto a local server, meaning that I don't need to go out to the movies. I can watch a movie any time I want.
It's the middle of the week, and it's Wednesday Night Open Thread time. What's on your mind? Got a topic to discuss? The floor is wide open.
Who wants to start?
I had the chance to babysit for the youngest grandson this weekend. Twice.
One of the things he likes to do is watch Finding Dory. He calls it Fish, probably because he's 20 months old. "Papa, I wan' watch Fish."
So, we got to watch Fish, um, Finding Dory.
It's Tuesday Night Open Thread! What's on your mind? What do you want to share? Or get off your chest? Got a joke? Just something to say? Now's the time.
Who wants to start?
It's Monday night! Don't look at that like it's a bad thing. You see, that Monday at work? It's over. Behind you. Done. In the past.
Oh, and in less than 96 hours, it'll be Friday night and the beginning of the weekend.
So, it's a mix of happy and sad. And that made me think of this:
The topic, or topics, discussed tonight are entirely up to you. Tell a joke, make up a lie, share your darkest secret, whatever you like. It's Monday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
Yes, it's still an Open Thread. That usually means fun discussions, silly jokes, and a general good time.
Beth Cleaver is on my mind, though. She lost her latest battle with cancer yesterday. Some of you may remember her old blog, "My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy." Some of you may have followed her when she moved to The Facebook. Of course, some of you may never have followed her at all.
Briefly, and quite insufficiently, she was a loving mother, an Air Force veteran, and a patriot. Each of those is more than many people ever are or were. She was all that and much more.
Yes, it's Open Thread. And yes, that's usually happy stuff. So let's keep it happy. If you knew or followed Beth, and you have some fun or funny stories to share, please do. Try keeping it PG-13, as she had a mouth on her.
If you didn't, but have a fun story to share about a friend you've lost, please do.
And, of course, if you just want to have some other fun, feel free. We could all use a laugh right about now.
So, who wants to start?
Hey, tonight's the night of the lottery drawing, isn't it? What's it up to? Eh, doesn't matter.
You know, some people don't play the lottery until it gets up to $200-million or more. I suppose they don't want to waste their time on a measly $10-million chump change, right?
Still, if you played the lottery, you'll be watching the drawing to see if you won, right? Good luck with that.
Now for the nightly IMAO lottery. It's Saturday Night Open Thread! Yay! That means it's totally random what you'll read here, because other readers, some funnier than you, will type something on to their computer machine and it'll magically appear here for you to laugh at. Then others will type something, maybe on the same topic, maybe on some other topic, and it'll be funny, and everyone will laugh. Then you get to type something and maybe they'll laugh at it. Maybe they'll laugh at what you wrote. Who knows? Better odds than the lottery.
So, tell a joke, post a link, say what's on your mind.
Who wants to start?
It's the weekend! Happy dance!
Of course, weekends means sports. Well, there are some sports that play through the week. I mean, there's baseball, right? Great sport. My team sucks.
Still, we like sports.
It's Friday Night Open Thread. That means you don't have to talk about sports. You pick the topic. Or topics. Lots and lots of topics. But you can talk about sports if you want. Or tell a joke. Or share a link. Or anything.
Who wants to start?
I was going to write something, but I haven't finished watching all the new episodes of MST3K. Yeah, I had to subscribe to The Netflix to watch them. So, I'm kinda on a schedule.
If you want to watch it, too, just fire up The Netflix, then log on The Twitter and be sure to tell everything that happens. Don't worry about spoilers; they'll get over it.
Or… you could post a link to something you want to share, tell a joke, comment on something, whatever's on your mind. It's Thursday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
It's the middle of the week, but not yet the middle of the night. But we can certainly help you make it through the night.
Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge – Help Me Make It Through The Night by Bodhisattva1956
It's Wednesday Night Open Thread. Got a joke, a comment, an insult, a link to share? Now's the time.
Who wants to start?
You ever take a tennis ball, show it to a dog, whistle at him, say "Go get it, boy!" and then fake a throw?
Sure you have.
No connection — at least, not that I'm admitting to — but you came along here, saw a new post at IMAO, thought "Hey, more funneh!" and am just now discovering it's an Open Thread.
But that's okay. You have something to say. Others do, too. Jokes, comments on things, naughty things to say about your sister, all kinds of stuff.
Join the fun. It's Tuesday Night Open Thread. What's on your mind?
Harvey's back, as you noticed. I guess that means he made bail.
He didn't waste any time getting back to business, though. He called me into his office, checked the time cards and IIS logs, and proceeded to let me know that I wasn't pulling my weight around here. You see, Frank J simply signs the checks. Harvey makes them out. And he told me that if I wanted to say on the payroll, I'd have to be posting at least one more post per day. And do a better job of keeping soap in the dispensers in the restrooms.
So, now that the soap dispensers are full (well, there's the broken one on the 3rd floor, but I'm waiting on maintenance to replace that), it's time for me to write a post.
I looking in the Employee Handbook — they call it Team Member's Guide, if you can believe that — and found out there was nothing to keep me from doing an Open Thread post.
So, being the goldbrick I am, I'm turning it over to you. What's on your mind? Know any good jokes? Any bad jokes? Got a link to share? It's Monday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
The good news is … Harvey is back tomorrow. We think.
Heck, he may have enjoyed his time off so much he just decides to sit around the house eating cookies and watching Netflix.
Nah, he'll be back. And he'll have more good stuff on a regular basis. Me? I don't have the energy young kids like Harvey have. Plus I'm fat and lazy. I'll just sit at the computer and come up with some nonsense that leads to me letting you do all the work. Then I call it "Open Thread."
Or, another way of looking at it, you guys really are funny. That's one of the reasons I stayed when I first dropped by IMAO all those years ago. Besides all the Frank J. funneh — remember when there was a lot of that because he didn't have a life? — there was the funny stuff in the comments. Well, Frank J. has married, fathered some children with the lovely and talented Sarah K., and moved a few times, changed jobs, and basically became an adult.
The blog changed. Frank J. opened it up to others blogging here. Some of those have come and gone.
You, though, haven't changed. Well, yeah, you have. Some of you have gone on to other things, some got pissed and left, some died, but then some of you stopped by and stayed. But you all have one thing in common: you are some funny people. Well, not all of you. Some of you are really really scary. But most of you are really really funny.
Truth is, that's what I like about the Open Threads we've done this week. That and it keeps me from having to write something.
So, with that out of the way, it's the Sunday Night Open Thread! Nothing is off limits (well, as long as it's not worse than PG-13). Tell a joke. Ask a question. Comment on something. Leave a link. Have at it.
Who wants to start?
I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but I would like to see some "lively discussion." The topic? Well, you choose it. Or them.
It's Open Thread Saturday! We're turning it over to you to discuss what's on your mind (about 20% of you_, tell a joke or two (around 15% of you), drunk post (60% of you), or whatever (5% of you).
Take it away.

64 bodies found in container
05 April 2009
QUETTA - At least 64 bodies and dozens of unconscious people were recovered from a shipping container in
Hazar Ganji area of the provincial capital Saturday.
According to police sources, the container, which was found parked at the outskirts of Quetta, was carrying over
110 people, apparently illegal immigrants being transported from Afghanistan to Iran via Pakistan.
The sources said when the driver of the container opened the container door, he found the people dead and
unconscious due to suffocation.
The driver immediately escaped from the scene leaving the truck on the road, said eyewitnesses. Police and
Edhi rescue teams arrived at the scene and shifted the fainted people and bodies, most of them Afghan and
Uzbek, to Bolan Medical
Complex where emergency was declared.
Sixty bodies and over 50 people were recovered from the container when it was properly opened, a police
official said and added that the deceased and unconscious victims apparently belonged to Afghanistan and
tribal areas.
Talking to TheNation after regaining consciousness, a survivor said, "I belong to North Waziristan." Hospital
sources said that the death toll might rise as many of the unconscious victims were in critical condition.
Eyewitnesses say, most of the deceased apparently belonged to Afghanistan and tribal areas.
Chief Minister Balochistan Nawab Aslam Raisani has taken serious notice of this incident and ordered an
inquiry. It may be mentioned that bordering areas with Iran are used by human smugglers for sending people
illegally to Iran and European countries.
Annually, a large number of people loose their lives in their bid to get to European countries illegally.

Qui-Gon Jinn. Arguably ties for coolest character created for the Star Wars prequels, needlessly cut down by a plot device to force a young and inexperienced Obi-Wan Kenobi to do a poor job training Anakin Skywalker. However, his lightsaber would then be used to make his killer (and the guy he's tied with for the coolest character award mentioned previously) half the man he used to be. Personally, I think both the man and the saber are really cool. I bought a cheap plastic Qui-Gon hilt way back in 1999, but I've been wanting a real one for ages. 18 years later, it's happened.

Lightsaber Upgrade Pt. 2
Just a quick follow up to yesterday's video. This one details some configuration changes I made to the board, including changing sound fonts and changing my blade flicker settings. I also increased the swing sensitivity. I love how simple this board is to configure.
Meanwhile, adding blog posts with my phone is a pain in the ass. But, I didn't have time to post this before leaving the house. ::)
Lightsaber Upgrade
Some of you may remember my Aeon LE V4 stunt saber I got many months ago from Ultra Sabers:
Now, some people complain about the look of Ultra Sabers, saying they're too plain looking. Well, to each their own is all I can say to that. To me, this is a wonderful looking hilt that I lucked out in getting, as I ordered it as a grab bag, which is their random hilt buying option. Anyway, I've been wanting to upgrade this wonderful looking saber for sound, so today I did exactly that.
Another Switcheroo
After having fun with my Dark Sentinel yesterday, switching it to green and going with the opposing silver switch with the black bezel, I decided I wanted to do another. So, I grabbed the switch that came with that saber and the other grab bag saber I got in that order, my Aeon V3. Sentinel Yellow is one of my favorite colors, ever since I first played Knights of the Old Republic. I pad $10 extra per saber for this color on my Aeon V2s, so I was for sure going to use this LED, even though I switched one of the V2s over to orange. So, I decided to put it in the V3. I really like how this looks.
Going Green
Not a huge customization here. I got this Dark Sentinel from Ultra Sabers some months back, during the second Summer Raffle, I think. I couldn't afford to enter the raffle, so I bought a couple grab bags, I got this hilt and an Aeon V3. The Dark Sentinel came in Fire Orange, which is a nice enough color, but not necessarily my favorite. I have a friend who really likes orange blades, so I plan to give him an orange saber, just not this hilt. A while back, I transferred the orange LED to one of my Aeon V2 hilts, which I plan to give to him eventually. At that point, I left the hilt disassembled, because I couldn't decide what to do with it. I thought about doing some sanding, but I still haven't decided if I want to turn this into a two tone hilt. And, if I do, I can always do it later. I have a big upgrade planned for my Aeon LE V4, in fact I want to add sound and Flash on Clash to it. To get FoC, I'll need a Tri Cree LED anyway, so that means the green LED in that hilt is up for grabs, as is the silver latching unlit AV switch. So, I decided to switch all of that over to the Dark Sentinel, as I have two black hilts with blue, but I don't have any with green. I also decided to give the hilt a hint of silver by transferring the AV switch, but only the switch. I used the black bezel, to make it look more like the switch is built in and not just tacked on. I really like how it came out.
A Tale of Three Sabers
This is my eighth order from Ultra Sabers, constituting Ultra Sabers #10 and 11, with an entry in the Winter Raffle, which earned me Ultra Saber #12. Here's a group shot of my order and winning sabers, then we'll break down everything into a review:
Left to right: Dominix LE V4 in Guardian Blue, Dominix LE V2 in Adegan Silver, Lost Gray in Consular Green
Lightsaber Build
Well, I built my first lightsaber today. I decided to do my first one using a Dominix V3 hilt from Ultra Sabers. This hilt wasn't very expensive, less so than ordering parts and putting one together. Since I had a lot of other stuff to buy that I won't have to buy next time, (soldering iron, solder, etc.) I figured to keep costs down on the saber itself. Now, just to be clear, this isn't a money saving way to go, as opposed to buying the saber itself from Ultra Sabers. Complete with blade, this saber is $69.99 USD. I paid probably a bit more than that for all my parts and didn't get a blade. Plus, I ordered electronics from another site, so I had to pay for shipping there as well. This is more of a challenge thing than a money saver. Truth be told, you can't build a saber of this quality for less than Ultra Sabers charges for them.
Anyway, this is what I started out with:
And, of course, I also had wire, heat shrink tubing, soldering iron, solder, heat gun, safety glasses, wire snips, tweezers, helping hands (soldering tool) and electrical tape. I wasn't going to use the tape, but I accidentally ordered the wrong size of heat shrink tubing and I can't find small enough locally. I didn't want to pay for more shipping, so I just went with electrical tape.
I mentioned the lightsabers I own in my previous post. Since I mentioned them, I figure it's only fair to show them. These are my seven Ultra Sabers stunt sabers:
All of them are stunt sabers, meaning they have no sound. But, I can pretty easily upgrade all of them, except the two Aeon V2s. Those are thinner, so putting sound in one of them would be problematic. While these are "plain" hilts, the upgrade possibilities are nearly endless. Also, if one were to try learning lightsaber combat and/or spinning, any of these hilts would be ideal.
Looking forward
Halloween is going to rock this year. UPS delivered my costume last night. It only took a few days to get here from Shanghai, China, which isn't bad at all. That extra money I paid for shipping was worth it. The boots came from a more local place. Anywho, I won't wear the cloak at work, and the belt is kinda crappy, but the rest ain't bad. I'm on the fence about wearing these pants or some khakis, but I'll decide that as the date gets closer and I see the weather forecast.
The outer tunic, tabards (long strips over the shoulders) and obi (long strip around waist) are all 100% linen and really nice. The inner tunic is shirt weight cotton, good for not over heating. The cloak and pants are polyester. All told, not bad for $90. (Amazon)
Sorry for the bathroom pics, I needed a full length mirror. 😉
The saber is from UltraSabers and the fact that it makes the belt sag that much speaks to the quality (and heaviness) of the saber, and the crappy quality of the belt. I'll order a new belt after Halloween. Meanwhile, I'll probably just pick up a brown leather belt at work that will work for the day. I can use it afterward to keep may pants up. 😉
I chromed the lightsaber hilt. Fortunately, chroming something in one 3D program isn't all that different than doing it in another. All you have to know is what the settings do and then fool around with diffusion, specular, glossiness and reflection settings. Also, it helps to know where to put the environment map. One thing that's easier is using a node-based texture system with everything done in one window, as opposed to what I had to do in TrueSpace, which involved using multiple windows and was a big pain in the butt at times. (but easy once I got used to it)
So, that will pretty much do it for this object. I mostly just created it because I like lightsabers and because I wanted to start off with something simple(ish) to play around with modeling settings. Ironically, this is actually the 2nd hilt I started, I hit a creative wall on the first one, so it's currently in limbo. 😉

She tries to be helpful and supportive. In real life, she's a quirky person. She tends to scream randomly, which prompts the people around her to give her funny looks. She enjoys reading, writing, and drawing, though she wouldn't call herself creative. Gladepaw likes to think of herself as responsible, even though she's probably wrong.
On the Blog Edit
Gladepaw has been on BlogClan since January 1, 2016. At the end of 2016, she took a hiatus from BlogClan due to her busy life. She rejoined recently. Gladepaw wants to become a more active and well-known member.

Trivia Edit
- Her favorite color is blue
- She takes fursona drawing requests, though due to her lack of practice recently, she's not very good at them :P
- She'd like to thank Iceflower for helping her make this page back when she was a new member (thanks again, Icy!)

- Even though her room is a complete mess, she knows where everything is
- Her least favorite subject is chemistry
- She's part of the following fandoms: Warriors (obviously), Harry Potter, PJO/HOO/TOA, Magnus Chase, Carry On (her love of snowbaz is too great to express in words), SAO, Your Lie in April, Yuri on Ice, Fairy Tail (even though it kinda sucks lately), Miraculous Ladybug, SVTFOE, and many, many more
- Her dream house would either be an apartment in the city or a ranch in the country
- She's jealous of everyone's cool coded backgrounds

Yadier Molina also scored a homerun in the seventh inning. In the ninth inning, Preston Wilson homered to left field allowing 1 RBI bringing the score to 6-5. St. Louis couldn't stay on top as Washington hit the last two runs in the ninth inning for the win. The Cardinals will play at Arizona on Thursday night.

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

Cloud use in manufacturing and process sectors on cusp of huge growth
Rolta seeing more traditional firms realising how cloud can rationalise application estates
Cloud services are on the verge of strong growth in more 'traditional' industries, such as manufacturing and processing, as the benefits become harder to ignore for such firms.
Richard Martin, executive vice president for engineer and operations solutions at Rolta, told V3 ahead of our Cloud & Infrastructure Live summit on 20-21 April, that cloud had not been a top priority for traditional industries in the past.
"Process industries have not progressed like some industries in the cloud because a lot of what they do is very driven by intellectual property and they are protective of that and not keen on putting this sort of information in the cloud," he said.
However, Martin explained that major business software suppliers like SAP and Oracle have started offering services in the cloud which has helped firms realise that they could benefit from the cloud across their business.
"We are starting to see the first uptick on the hockey stick [for cloud uptake in process industries]. CIOs have to have an answer when shareholders say: 'What is your strategy [for cloud]?'," he added.
Martin said that manufacturing firms are ripe for embracing the cloud owing to the huge number of applications they have in use, not just from big box vendors like SAP and Oracle but from more niche, industry-specific providers.
"Most people don't realise that a typical processing and manufacturing company can have as many as 800 applications, of which maybe 50 are back-office related, so there's an amazing amount of knowledge that is hidden," he said.
Making this information easier to access and deriving insights from it becomes much easier when everything is hosted in a central environment, according to Martin.
Performance management is critical for manufacturing and process companies, and can have huge financial and operational repercussions. However, as Martin noted, it is not enough to have just information. It needs to be actionable.
"The devil is in the detail. Dashboards are just indicators of performance, but if you ever see any kind of aberration that you want to understand you have to drill into that and understand what has actually happened," he said.
"When you do that you are dependent on the applications you are using because performance management is based on the metrics you calculate and how you are able to analyse and understand them."
Rolta offers a tool called OneView to help do just this, bringing together data from numerous applications and offering as many as 500 different metrics to provide more insight into data at a top or more granular level.
"OneView allows people to access information anywhere and ensures a consistent approach to data to help drive performance. This is vital because if you can't measure your performance, you can't improve it," said Martin.
Martin will be speaking during the V3 Cloud and Infrastructure event on 21 April. Registration is free and provides access to end user presentations and our two live panel debates, so make sure you register now.
