Masterdisk Presents is a blog series spotlighting some of the incredible artists we work with. Each episode will be a behind-the-scenes look at all the different aspects of music making in the new "Indie" music industry, focusing on the technical, creative and business decisions of the artists. We're thrilled to celebrate these artists and we hope that you will find the insights into their motivations and methods interesting and useful.
Kim and Scott Collins — The Smoking Flowers — are a Nashville husband-and-wife duo that play a style of music they describe as Southern Gothic Folk. Their influences range from Neil Young to Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles to Gillian Welch — so a Smoking Flowers tune may bring you some rock and roll, or a gentle country waltz, and many things in between. One thing's for sure – the Smoking Flowers bring you a classic sound (in more ways than one), and they bring it with passion.
Their upcoming album, 2 Guns, was mastered by Andy Wilson at Masterdisk. Andy was particularly impressed with this album — from the songs, to the recording technique, which Andy said "is something you don't see often nowadays." It was recorded all-analog in Nashville, live, with minimal miking techniques. For a mastering engineer, this can present some unique challenges. Andy said, "There's definitely going to be some room noise and some bleed; it's organic, and it sounds like a real band. More artists are recording this way again, live and together — the way it used to be done. I didn't want to do much limiting and compressing — I wanted to make sure to maintain the dynamics."
The bottom line is that it sounds great. Hear for yourself…
I asked Scott and Kim a few questions about the new album.
Masterdisk: Hi Scott and Kim; thanks for answering some questions for us. 2 Guns is a beautiful sounding record. Who were the engineers and how did you choose them?
S&K: We worked with two separate engineers on the 2 Guns album. The primary engineer was Adam Landry. He engineered five of the eight songs ("White Flags," "The Wrong Kind of Man," "Pistol Whip," "El Matador," and "Heart Darker"). We met Adam several years ago by sharing the bill on some shows with his band The Sways. Later he started his own private studio in Sylvan Park. We just really adored his true commitment to analog, nothing hitting anything digital until the mastering phase. And most importantly we loved the very unique sounds, especially with vocals and drums, that he was getting. Really dark but extremely present and round. Adam had produced a couple records with Scott's brother (Middle Brother's Middle Brother and Pete Molinari's Train Bound for Glory) that we really liked sonically. We just really thought the soundscape was a perfect fit for this new Smoking Flowers record.
Chad Brown, who is ironically very good friends with Adam, was our other engineer. He recorded three songs ("Golden State," "Devil in Drag," and "Twilight"). We first met Chad many years ago when he engineered and mixed a Kim's Fable record with Kim. He subsequently did a Pale Blue Dot record, and also was the engineer for The Smoking Flowers debut album Sweet as Port. Chad has been a natural choice for us on many occasions throughout our careers. He totally understands what we do inside and out, aesthetically and technically. It's nice, and very special, to get to a point in a working relationship with someone where you sometimes can communicate without even having to say a word. That's Chad at this point.
M: Where did you record?
S&K: Playground Sound, The Toy Box, and Studio G. All these studios are in Nashville. Playground Sound is in Sylvan Park. The Toy Box and Studio G are in East Nashville.
M: I understand you recorded this record with minimal miking — pretty unconventional these days. Tell me about what brought you to the decision to record that way.
S&K: Well, sometimes it's just the nature of choosing to record to tape (which we have done for most of our career). At Playground Sound, we were tracking on an 8 track machine with 1″ tape. So right away you are limited from the normal somewhat gluttonous options that you have in many modern recording scenarios. We were certainly aware of this going in, and actually embrace these limitations because in our opinion they enhance your production decisions. It makes you commit to what is truly important. If that means multiple people playing or singing multiple things around one mic, then that's what you do. You also have a cutoff point, or ceiling, so to speak, which is always helpful. You are prohibited from overkill. You'd be amazed the drum sounds that are possible with just 3 or 4 mics. And the beauty of the drums being picked up in the vocal mics because of tracking everything live in a small room with minimal isolation… with just the right amount of tape delay. At The Toy Box we were on a 16 track machine with 2″ tape, so we had a little more headroom, but a very similar fidelity. We wanted this album to sound very classic, hard to pinpoint in era or genre. We feel this recording approach helped to achieve that.
M: How did the recording sessions go?
S&K: Pretty much everything you hear is what went down live. Things like piano and tambourine were, out of necessity due to space limitations, the only real significant overdubs. We love and are very committed to tracking our 2 part vocals together at the same time. We believe in really singing, you know, together, and giving a true performance. We rarely play a song more than 2 or 3 times in the studio once we know the arrangement. Most of the keepers on this album were first or second takes. On one song ("The Wrong Kind of Man"), the keeper was the first time we'd ever even attempted playing it with our band. Some of the others we'd been playing out live for a while already. We love the art of allowing each take to truly be its own separate performance, completely different from one another, with some takes having different strengths than others, and then recognizing the one that has what we like to call "the spook"… which is tough to describe but it's that special intangible recipe of feeling, moment, execution, and urgency.
M: Are the songs all new?
S&K: Yes, in a sense that they are all less than a year or two old and have never been released. Some were brand spanking new, written just days before being recorded. Others we had been playing out live for a while.
M: Do you do everything yourself? i.e. label, PR, bookings, etc.
S&K: Up until very recently, yes. Total classic DIY, occasionally working with some freelance booking agents. We are, however, about to begin working with the indie label Broadstroke here in the U.S. and possibly with their sister label Wichita in Europe. This new album 2 Guns will be the first release with their support. You can never totally abandon the DIY ethic in this day and age, though, so we will still be very involved in every aspect of our career.
M: What's the record's release date, and how do you plan to promote it?
S&K: Still ironing out the details, but likely a late summer / early fall release for the entire album. We are, however, releasing two singles from the album digitally (on iTunes, etc.) ahead of time that will be out and available to hear/purchase by the time this article is printed. So please check them out ! 🙂 As we mentioned, it's a very grassroots world when it comes to promotion for uncompromising indie artists, so we want to thank Masterdisk for taking an interest in our new album 2 Guns and for featuring us. It was a pleasure to work in a place with such rich history, and to work with a standout engineer in Andy Wilson who really understood and maximized the nuances this album.
M: Thank you, Scott and Kim – the pleasure was all ours.
I was also happy to be able to speak briefly to engineer Adam Landry about analog recording. Here's what he had to say:
Adam: I have an Otari MTR-90 with 8 track 1″ heads. This is my primary medium, although I have a ProTools system that I use sparingly on certain projects. The Smoking Flowers project was tape only then we mixed it down to a digital 2 track mix. I love tape for all of a thousand reasons. Primarily the sound is far more authentic in every way, and creatively, tape forces decisions in the moment. Editing or "fixing" later is a horrible side effect of the digital age and whether you are pop or avant garde indie noise music, we are all susceptible to those pitfalls. That's why I prefer to avoid them entirely. The true vision of the artist and composer come through when you record exactly what is happening. Then at the end of the day, it just sounds better too!

Combining Strategic and Tactical Asset Allocation
In a recent article, I discussed Tactical Asset Allocation [TAA] and its relationship to Strategic Asset Allocation [SAA]. To take advantage of both TAA and SAA, it is necessary to build a highly diversified portfolio that has a projected future return that is greater than the returns that the portfolio has generated in recent years (i.e. the assets in the portfolio have generated less-than-expected returns in recent years). The recent under-performance means that the portfolio is due for a reversion to the mean and provides the potential for a performance boost beyond long-term expected returns (the TAA component). The core Strategic Asset Allocation ensures that the portfolio derives the maximum available diversification benefit and has a total volatility that is consistent with the needs of the investor(s).
In this article, I will discuss a "real life" example that combines the Strategic and Tactical aspects of asset allocation. A little over two years ago, I analyzed a portfolio that exemplified both of these characteristics. In this article, published on September 20, 2006, I analyzed a portfolio made up of Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK.A) top twenty holdings of public companies (in the same relative proportions as in Berkshire's portfolio). My goal was to examine whether there were any notable statistical features of this portfolio. What I found was that the Berkshire portfolio was both very well diversified [SAA] and the holdings appeared to be due for a Reversion To the Mean [RTM] on the upside [TAA].
To many, the idea that the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio is "well diversified" will seem paradoxical. After all, Berkshire is famously concentrated. When I analyzed the portfolio in the original article, it held substantial positions in Coke (NYSE:KO), Procter and Gamble (NYSE:PG), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Budweiser (NYSE:BUD), American Express (NYSE:AXP), Conoco (NYSE:COP) and others. From the perspective of our quantitative portfolio planning model (Quantext Portfolio Planner, QPP), Berkshire appeared well diversified, however. The quantitative measure of diversification comes down to generating a portfolio with the maximum return relative to its risk—i.e. the portfolio is expected to generate a high risk-adjusted return. Berkshire's portfolio appeared to accomplish this, despite having very concentrated positions.
I used three years of trailing historical data as input to Quantext Portfolio Planner [QPP]. QPP generates expected returns for the entire portfolio (the default setting). At the time of the analysis, I found that the Berkshire portfolio had a trailing three-year average annual return of 11.8%. QPP projected that the Berkshire portfolio had an expected return of 13.2%. For the Berkshire portfolio to average a return of 13.2%, the coming years would need to generate returns higher than average to offset the lower returns of the recent three years. As such, this portfolio was positioned to exploit the benefits of TAA. By contrast to the Berkshire portfolio, the S&P 500 appeared over-valued at the time of the analysis. The S&P 500 had a trailing three-year average annual return of 9.56% (before adding in dividends) and QPP's default setting is for an expected total annual return from the S&P 500 of 8.3%.
Aside from being well positioned to exploit TAA opportunities, QPP suggested that the Berkshire portfolio was very effectively exploiting diversification benefits between the stocks in the portfolio (i.e. it was successfully capturing the Strategic Asset Allocation component). QPP generates a statistic called the Diversification Metric [DM] and the Berkshire portfolio exhibited a very high value of DM:
A portfolio with a high value of DM is doing a better job of strategic asset allocation to exploit offsetting risks between investments. The Berkshire Hathaway Top 20 portfolio yields DM=67% when we use the trailing five years to initialize the model and DM=66% when we use the trailing three years. These are very high values for the diversification metric and show that this portfolio is an effective mix and relative weighting of stocks to exploit non-market correlations between components to manage total portfolio risk levels.
- Source: Original analysis from 2006 (See footnote 2)
In the two years since writing this article, I have found that a range of resources suggest a practical estimate of the maximum diversification benefits available in a well diversified portfolio. The Berkshire portfolio was not quite optimal in this regard, but it also did not include any asset classes like REITs, commodities, or bonds. By adding a mix of these to the Berkshire equity holdings, it would have come very close to estimates of optimal diversification.
How Has It Worked Out?
In the two years from September 20, 2006 through September 30, 2008, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) has generated a cumulative return of 39% vs. -8.4% for the S&P 500. Back in the original analysis, QPP projected a standard deviation in annual return of 15.75% for the Berkshire portfolio (using three years of trailing historical data as input)—with the default assumption that the S&P 500 was have an annualized standard deviation in return of 15.1%. In other words, QPP projected that the Berkshire portfolio would be more risky than the S&P 500. This has been the case. In the past two years, Berkshire has been more volatile than the S&P 500.
The fact that a quantitative analysis of Berkshire's equity holdings about two years ago suggested that Berkshire was well positioned both tactically and strategically has been of considerable interest to a range of readers. While it may not be rigorously significant, I took comfort that QPP "liked" Berkshire's portfolio. In this case, QPP passed the test. The fact that Berkshire has substantially out-performed in the years since that article was published adds (for me) additional confidence in QPP's results.
I am strongly in favor that more testing and validation is better and that single points of validation—like this Berkshire case—must not be treated as overly significant on their own. The interested reader will find plenty of historical "back tests" of QPP on our website that go over long periods of history. A model which generated wonderful results in testing must still bear up to real life scrutiny, and this example with Berkshire is a useful data point along the way.
QPP projected that Berkshire's portfolio combined both Strategic Asset Allocation and Tactical Asset Allocation effectively—and these portfolio characteristics can be described by quantitative metrics. This is not to say that QPP is a 'robotic Buffett' but rather to suggest that investors will benefit by taking a more objective approach to both sides of the asset allocation challenge. The fact that the two years since the original article have Berkshire substantially outperform the S&P 500 (as QPP projected) may serve to motive some interest in this type of approach.

Germany is a very old country, with its oldest cities dating back to hundreds of years BC. Its name in many languages hints at the tribes and languages of its past:

 Germany, named after the Latin word "Germania"

Deutschland, named after the Germanic word diutisc, meaning "people" or "folk"

Allemagne in French, named as a reference to the Allemani tribes

Saksamaa in Finnish, named after the Saxons

With such a rich range of previous inhabitants, it's no surprise to notice Germany's cities also take their names from very old languages. One of the earliest German lessons I teach is based on discovering what a German language map can tell you about the land and countryside beyond the paper.

Here are a few city names that speak of Germany's landscapes and histories:

 Koblenz
It's "say what you see" with Koblenz, the city where the rivers Rhine and Moselle combine. The city name comes from the Latin word "confluentes", which means "to flow together". Koblenz is extremely popular with visitors to Germany who want to experience a cruise of its most romantic region. Hop on the boat at Mainz, Frankfurt or Cologne and get ready for days of vineyards on the slopes and castles dotted along the riverside.
Koblenz itself has plenty to show for its old name. The city looks back on a history of over 2000 years and its castles and monuments speak of many historic conquests. As part of the Rhine border, it was fought over by tribes through the ages: the Franks, the French and the Prussians.
You can even discover the exact place where the two rivers meet - "confluentes" - by visiting the Deutsches Eck (German corner), where an impressive statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I has been standing since 1891.

 Regensburg
At first glance, the word Regen (rain) in this city name may reveal bad weather conditions. But don't let that distract you. Regen as it is used here relates to the English word "regent", both of which can be traced back to the Latin rex (king) or regina (queen).
And if that is not impressive enough, the word Burg means a fort or large castle. In the city of Regensburg, the name hints at a history going back all the way to 90 AD, when Roman soldiers founded a settlement named Castra Regina. This small Bavarian city has been a resting point for many soldiers since, from the Crusades to Napoleon's wars.
You can spot -burg in many German place names such as Hamburg, Nuremburg and Rothenburg. In fact, its related name "-burgh"/-"bury" was used in Britain when our languages were still very similar, as you can see names like Canterbury and Edinburgh.

 Baden-Baden
An English native speaker looking at the map of Germany may be surprised at the amount of cities to avoid. Check out Bad Ems, Bad Salza, Bad Vilbel, Bad Berneck, Bad Blankenburg...and then there are Wiesbaden and Marienbad. Sounds like those cities are pretty, well, bad.

Seek Out The Bad

But fear not, traveller! The German word *baden* is in fact a word of Germanic origin and relates to the English word "bath". And the word "Bad" in a place name simply to indicate that there are healing waters at play. You can see the same trend in the UK with place names like "Leamington Spa" and "Bath".

Germany is a nation of water aficionados and the spa culture is no exception. You can *abhärten* (harden or steel yourself) in a cold Kneipp pool or enjoy a swim in the country's many Mineralbäder.

And next time you visit, you won't even have to go to a spa town to experience the importance of water for Germans. Most of them will shun humble tap water and prefer to sup on a Sprudel or Mineralwasser, happy to point out its healing benefits to you.

Germany boasts an extremely rich geologic landscape in the middle of Europe. There are even a few active volcanoes, and some of the formerly active craters have become popular lakes, for example in the Vulkaneifel. These lakes are known as Maare.

Dubious distinction: State ranks 7th in elder abuse
By Express News Service | Published: 15th June 2012 09:39 AM |
Last Updated: 15th June 2012 09:39 AM | A+A A- |
"Two things we need are an area-wise registry of all the senior citizens, and a re-launch of the 'Neighbourhood Watch' session that was started in 2004," said Lalrokhuma Pachuau, Director General and Inspector General of Police, on the eve of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which was observed on Thursday.
Launching a nationwide report on 'Elder Abuse in India' compiled by HelpAge India, he said, "Any kind of physical assault on elderly persons is prohibited by the law of the land and it will be a criminal offence."
Vice-president of Federation of Senior Citizen Forums of Karnataka Indira Jaiprakash said, "For every one case of elder abuse reported in Karnataka, six are going unreported. We need support from the police."
Pachuau said, "If unfair treatment is meted to elderly people, it must be brought to the notice of the police. With increasing life expectancies in our country, there is more onus on us to give our elders a lot of care and security."
Robert Dequadros, Senior Manager, Help Age India, Bangalore, said 'senior citizen identity cards' must be issued to the elderly so that there can be a database of all their details.
"We must have an area-wise database of all the details of the senior citizens residing there. This will help the police keep track of their well-being," said Pachuau, requesting the HelpAge India to help generate one such database for the city.

Walt Huss was one of Sonoma County, California's, best-known World War II veterans, a former B-29 tail-gunner, accompanied always by his memories of being downed over Japanese-occupied Manchuria and imprisoned, and by the reverence he bore for the nine fellow crewmen who died.
Huss rarely missed public salutes to veterans, and was present less than a month ago at Santa Rosa's "Avenue of the Flags" Memorial Day observance.
He died Monday, June 23, 2014, at the age of 91.
In late 1945, he was an emaciated, 22-year-old Army Air Corps sergeant when Russian troops liberated the prison camp at Dairen at the end of the war in the Pacific. Once he was physically able, one of his first acts was to visit the families of each comrade who was killed when a kamikaze fighter pilot rammed their Superfortress on December 7, 1944.
"He felt duty-bound to do that," said one of Huss' two daughters, Jackie Hallerberg of Forestville.
He befriended some of his fallen buddies' relatives, including the twin boys born to the wife of flight engineer Charles Krueger shortly before he perished in the downing of the bomber.
The death of the new father was particularly painful to Huss, his daughter said. He spent the last 70 years connecting fallen crewmen's kin and the general public to the reality of war and the sacrifices of those who answer the call to serve.
He would ask, when he spoke in public, that Americans not forget nor give up on soldiers missing in action. He was sharply aware that his parents and two sisters suffered in Ohio upon learning just two days before Christmas of '44 that he had been downed and was missing.
"He was very tender of heart," daughter Hallerberg said. She noted that her father was happy, charming and successful, but she imagines how much more joyful he might have been had he not lost so many brothers at arms and endured nearly 10 months of misery as a prisoner of war.
"I think the experiences he had, none of us know what that is like," Hallerberg said.
Walter Huss was born in May, 1923, in Fremont, Ohio. He played quarterback for his high school football team and had turned 18 when the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Three years to the day later, Huss was aboard a B-29 dubbed "Humpin' Honey" and manning the left-side tail gun. Ken Beckwith was on the right-side gun and the other nine crewman all were at forward posts.
They were on a bombing run against a Japanese target in Manchuria when the kamikaze fighter appeared and flew straight into the bomber, striking near its tail. Gunners Huss and Beckwith fell free as the tail broke off. They were the only two to survive.
Hallerberg said her father didn't recall pulling his parachute cord. As he struck the ground, he badly fractured an ankle.
The Japanese troops who captured him and placed him in a large prison camp did not treat the injury. His captors kept him in isolation for nine straight weeks.
"They thought he had secret information," Hallerberg said. "He didn't."
For nearly 10 months, Huss was fed a small amount of rice and broth, and he was never given a change of clothes.
His parents, Floyd and Alma Huss of Ohio, received notice that he was missing on December 23, 1944. Alma Huss sat and wrote her son a letter in absentia.
"I hardly know how to start this letter as I have grieved for the last five days," she wrote. "I just know you will be back to read this letter."
"I received the lovely orchid from you on Christmas Day. Just one, but it was lovely. I don't suppose you ever received any of those boxes that were sent to you."
Alma Huss signed off, "Your loving Mother," then added, "Please, I hope you will answer this someday."
He did. Walt Huss returned to Ohio after his liberation, convalescence and honorary discharge. He married the young woman he'd met and fallen for before going off to war. They married in 1946 on Thanksgiving Day.
Walt and Eleanor Huss settled in their native Ohio and he went to work for General Motors. He retired after 35 years as a production plant engineer.
The couple moved to California in the early 1980s before both of their daughters had migrated to the West Coast.
"Their role in California, truthfully, was as the quintessential grandparents," Hallerberg said.
Walt Huss died Monday in the home north of Santa Rosa that he and Eleanor shared since 1985.
In addition to her and their daughter in Sebastopol, California, Huss is survived by daughter Sherry Huss of Occidental, sister Alberta McCormick of Blissfield, Michigan, and two grandchildren.
A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. on June 28 on the Veterans' Patio at Santa Rosa, California, Memorial Park.

The Biggest Shopping Mall In Edo State "Hallmark" Has Just Been Completely Burnt Down By Fire
Phil Hallmark, the biggest shopping mall in Benin, Edo State, razed down completely, by a fire that started around 3a.m today.
I Can Authoritatively Confirm To you the goods in that shopping mall is worth more than half a billion naira.
It was gathered that fire gutted the only ultra modern shopping mall in Benin, Edo State last night. Managing Director of the Super Mart Mr Philip Edigin said that the fire started at about 12 mid night.
He disclosed that all effort to get the State fire service to come to their rescue proved abortive as the fire service told him they have no diesel to work. He said he was later able to get help from the Nigeria Air force fire service, IDSL NPDC and before the State fire service came at about 6am.
Meanwhile a supervisor in the State Fire Service Mr Franklin Agbonlahor appealed to government for urgent upgrade of facilities and equipment of the fire service.

Resident evil 5 is criticized due to the action > horror. So what do they do? Make a sequal with 3 times as much action! Me personally, I doubt Capcom even knows about the rabid fans who hated DmC because of the slight changes from the original. And if they do, those fans most likely aren't on their radar.
I noticed a lot of people brag because DmC 'failed'. We don't know how many copies they sold. Obviously, DmC didn't do as well as its predecessors. But from a financial standpoint, the most important thing for a companies product is to break even and make a profit.
DMC is one of Capcoms lessar franchises today, so I seriously doubt they are willing to forgoe the DmC universe and pore millions into building a completely new DMC from the ground up. Most likely on next gen consoles we'll se a more mature older white haired Dante inhabiting the same DmC universe.
Finally, here's a word to the wise, games with not so spectacular sales but excellent reviews do get sequels. Okami, Beyond Good and Evil, and Viva Piñata are a few.

Capcom won't waste time with DmC2.

DMC is Capcom's 5th best selling franchise, games that sell poorly only get sequels if there's enough demand for them, DmC2 won't get announced because it would be a bad business decision, RE6 was hated and now Capcom wants to reboot RE but go back to survival horror, and it's "Harakiri" which is just a another way of saying seppuku.
I think I covered everything...
Lord_Mizer 4 years ago#5
Even if DmC2 is announced, I won't buy, rent or play it in any fashion. I've no faith in NT, so I'm not obligated to buy any of their products.
Seriously, it's exactly rocket science.

Heavenly sword had excellent reviews and sold over a million. It can receive a sequel at anytime.
Enslaved received bad reviews and it got the bad sales it deserved.
I don't see the correlation between those games and DmC

Heavenly sword didn't even break even. For a game like that that broke a million not to break even, DmC has literally no chances of breaking even.

Thanks for the harakiri correction. However, I disagree with the rest of your statement. There wasn't a high demand for Okami or Beyond Good. If there were a high demand for those games, they wouldn't have sold poorly in the first place.
Games that sell poorly but receive high reviews only get a sequal if the company believes in said franchise. DmC 2 will most likely be on next gen consoles, and trust me if they increase the graphics and scale in the sequel, as well as add an older Dante that fans can appreciate, there is no reason why DmC 2 should fail.

And how do you know know this? Would you mind directing me to a site that shows Heavenly Swords budget? I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong, I just prefer proof over speculation.

If DmC 2 is announced, you can bet this board is gonna stay at number 1 again,for the next 3 or 4 years. XD
I can't imagine the havoc and chaos that will be here if DmC 2 gets a go, lol. It's going to be fun, though.

The president has recently signed into law the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which authorizes a huge expansion of the Americorps program, potentially tripling the number of its government-paid "volunteers." The legislation was heralded as a victory for patriotism and public service. But is it truly good news? Those who cherish the independence of American philanthropy and the nonprofits it supports actually have reason for worry, says Howard Husock, vice president for policy research at the Manhattan Institute.
The past two decades have seen an explosion of new, inventive nonprofits established and operated with little or no government support. But the Kennedy Act threatens to thwart this creative movement. It will throw so much money at nascent programs that these otherwise independent efforts will lurch after federal dollars and bend toward government directives, says Husock.
Consider the Americorps expansion:
- First, the program is nothing like Works Progress Administration or the Civilian Conservation Corps -- government-run operations with recruits in uniform, building trails and bridges -- it's a grant program in which people are the prize.
- Organizations that want its federally subsidized free labor must apply to "service commissions" established, by statute, in all 50 states and whose members are appointed by governors.
- Then there's the legislation's new "social innovation fund," which promises to bring with it big money: five-year grants, renewable for another five, of between $1 million and $10 million.
- The funds will come, however, with tight strings -- government will specify what most needs doing.
Moreover, nonprofits on the receiving end of the fund's dollars will have to "consult with a diverse cross-section of community representatives."
Sadly, social entrepreneurs -- who have often started organizations to help us cope with the failure of government programs -- may well be tempted by the big money. But that won't be the best way to serve America, says Husock.

My wife is actually just recovering from a broken leg and still has trouble walking more than a few blocks. My in laws are taking us out to dinner pre-theatre and I need to find a reasonable priced restaurant ($40 or less per person) very close to 42nd and 7th. I would normally go with a Carmine or Tony DiNapoli based on the cost parameters but both are booked.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Wednesday, August 31, 2016 Devotion
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God." (1 John 4:7)
Our Savior summed up the commandments with the admonition to love the Lord and one another. God is love and in that we have love for one another, we show the truth of God's presence through our lives. Love is not a feeling, but the doing of what is right in the sight of our Lord. Those who are in the Lord know right, for the Lord Himself is there to guide us into all truth.
My problem Lord is that I do not listen to You. You speak, but I do not like what You say. Help me, I pray, to move beyond myself, give up and lay down my life at the cross that I may live for You and the Holy cause You have given me through the Gospel. Lead me to live, speak and act in true love, being a reflection of Your love in the world knowing that You are working all things together according to the Father's purpose.
Lord Jesus, I need You to lead me today and everyday in Your way of truth. I must decrease and You must increase. Help me, I pray to see in You and through You every action I should take. Keep my mind clear that I may hold fast to the truth You have spoken and no matter what happens around me, cling to You above all things. Lead me, my Savior, to be Your disciple who does the Father's will. Amen.

May 6, 2005
The ministry that provides guidance on public health issues in Great Britain is proposing to deny treatment to patients based on age. That's the ultimate end for universal health care, says Investor's Business Daily (IBD).
What's happening in Britain, and what will happen here if the health care busybodies are able to force us into some sort of single- or third-party payer or nationalized system, is a convergence of infinite demand crashing into finite supply.
According to IBD:
- Socialist health care systems such as those in Britain and Canada, which are held out as models for the United States to follow, encourage people to demand more health care than they would if they were paying out of pocket.
- With such demand, the system cannot provide enough services to keep up.
- This overuse is why waiting times for basic treatment in Britain, Canada and other nations are much longer than those in the United States.
Waits for specialists are even longer:
- In Canada, it takes 8 1/2 weeks to see a specialist for consultation after a general practitioner has made the referral.
- Another nine to 12 weeks pass until the patient is treated by the specialist.
At some point, decisions have to be made about who gets to see a doctor.
National health care systems don't have a built-in disincentive against overuse. They create an incentive to devour health care because payment does not come out of patients' pockets when services are rendered. The operating perception is the service is paid for by someone else, so why not go to the doctor for every sniffle, scratch and ache?
When this is the case, bureaucrats eventually have to step in and ration treatment. Then the question becomes: Whom do we want to ration our care -- the government or individuals?

"It is well known that even Pranab Mukherjee's phone was tapped when he was the Finance Minister. Did the Home Secretary give permission for that? This government is tapping phones without following proper procedure," Sinha told PTI.
Sinha, who had alleged yesterday that his phone was being tapped during the time he had levelled charges of wrong-doing in the Aircel-Maxis deal, was reacting to Union Home Secretary R K Singh's denial that the former Finance Minister's phones were tapped.
He maintained that the Home Secretary would know only about tapping of those phones for which he gives permission. Singh had said earlier today said that he had not ordered tapping of Sinha's phone.
The Home Secretary is the person authorised to order tapping. "Singh's denial has no meaning. I made this charge with full responsibility.
I heard about if from a source in the Intelligence Bureau four months ago. This was further confirmed by another source from the agency some days back.
I am not in the habit of levelling baseless allegations," Sinha said. Sinha alleged that his landline and mobile phones as well as that of his wife were tapped.
He said both legal and illegal tapping is being done by the UPA government. Asked if he is contemplating lodging an FIR or raising this matter at any other forum, Sinha said, "I will not lodge an FIR as I cannot reveal my source."

|This article is about a/an episode in Power Rangers Super Samurai.
Trickster Treat is the twenty-first episode of Power Rangers Super Samurai, the second season of Power Rangers Samurai. It is the second "Halloween Special" of the series.
Master Xandred and Octoroo deploy a mind-bending Nighlok named Trickster, trapping the Power Rangers in a series of horror movies. The Rangers must figure out what is reality and what is illusion. Will the Rangers escape the nightmare?
to be added
- Alex Heartman as Jayden Shiba (Red Samurai Ranger 1) (archive footage) (voice only)
- Najee-De-Tiege as Kevin (Blue Samurai Ranger) (archive footage) (voice only)
- Erika Fong as Mia Watanabe (Pink Samurai Ranger) (archive footage) (voice only)
- Rin Takanashi as Mia Watanabe (Sentai footage)
- Hector David Jr. as Mike (Green Samurai Ranger) (archive footage) (voice only)
- Brittany Anne Pirtle as Emily (Yellow Samurai Ranger) (archive footage) (voice only)
- Steven Skyler as Antonio Garcia (Gold Samurai Ranger) (uncredited) (archive footage) (voice only)
- Jeff Szusterman as Master Xandred & Octoroo (voices)
- Mark Mitchinson as Trickster (voice)
- Rene Naufahu as Mentor Ji (credit only)
- Paul Schrier as Bulk (credit only)
- Felix Ryan as Spike (credit only)
- Due to unmorphed footage being taken entirely from past episode, the Rangers' civilian clothing constantly changes between shots.
- When firing at Trickster with the Fire Smasher's cannon mode, they name the attack as 'Multi Disk Octo Cannon' however as it was being powered by the Claw Disk it should have been named 'Multi Disk Claw Cannon'.
- When Antonio calls for Octozord to fight Trickster, Octozord appears from Genta's sushi cart instead of Antonio's fish cart.
- Unmorphed footage of the Rangers is comprised completely of stock footage, with the actors merely supplying new dialogue. Footage of the Samurai Rangers for this episode was recycled from both parts of "Super Samurai", "He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother", "The Master Returns", "A Crack in the World", "Stroke of Fate" and "Samurai Forever". For the final zord battle, footage from the scene of Shogun Mode's transformation was used.
- This episode may be placed after "Shell Game" due to the absence of Dayu, Serrator, and the LightZord.
- This marks the first and only appearance of the Kuroko in Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai. The Shiba banner also appears once again after making brief appearances in the flashbacks of Master Xandred's attack on the Shiba house in "Test of the Leader" and "Fight Fire with Fire", and the banner was seen during battle in Clash of the Red Rangers.
- After defeating Trickster, instead of saying "Samurai Rangers, Victory is Ours", Jayden says "Samurai Rangers, Halloween is Ours".
- In the singing scene, Saban did not film Erika Fong singing. Instead, they dubbed the Shinkenger scene. "Mia" is in fact her Sentai counterpart, being a scene where Mako was untransformed. Some audience shots were taken from "He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother".
- The Shinkenger ending stance replaces the traditional Samurai roll call where the other five Samurai Rangers kneel and Jayden stands as he runs his left hand up his Spin Sword's edge for a second.
- The Opening is exactly the same as that of the first episodes of Samurai. The only new footage is Shark Attack Mode. Samurai has the logo, not the Super Samurai, with the absence of Rick Medina and Steven Skyler.
- Unlike the previous Super Samurai Halloween special, this is the only special where the rangers have an adventure, while the previous one had Nighlok monsters tell their story of their defeat.
- Its the only Samurai/Super Samurai Special with the physical appearance of Steven Skyler as Antonio Garcia.
- This episode never aired on Nickelodeon UK. It's UK premiere was delayed until 3 November 2013 on Channel 5, where it aired in the middle of Megaforce's first run.[1]
- This episode marked the only appearance of the Samurai Rangers' Illusion Mode.

With 22 Munros in the area, countless mid and low level walks from lochside to forest and everything in between, Woodlands is a haven for walkers. Its position in relation to the rest of the Highlands and Islands also make it an ideal base for the tourer. However, there is so much to see and do in the area you might not have time to go too far afield. The mountain views visible from most of the rooms of Woodlands are are ever-changing. Colours, light and atmospheric conditions alter from minute to minute creating beautiful vistas from moody and misty to bright and colourful, glistening in the unique Scottish light. Please note, the nearby loch is not visible from the house. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a huge lounge (6m x 6m) and a kitchen that houses a twelve-seater table, twelve people fit comfortably in the house. There is also a small 'snug' with views of the FiveSisters. Outside there is a timber garage that houses a pool table and dart board. Please note that this is a very, very basic games room. Set amidst some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland, this lovely holiday home is fantastic for hillwalkers, ramblers, tourers and large family get-togethers. There is so much to do in the area, a week isn't nearly long enough. There are 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a 6m x 6m lounge and a well-equipped kitchen with a table that seats 12, The kitchen also houses a hob, an eye-level grill and oven, dishwaser, washing machine, dryer, fridge/freezer, slow cooker, microwave, coffee grinder, cafatieres and an abundance of pots, pans, casseroles etc. Woodlands is the ideal base for large groups. Central heating and bed linen are included in the rent but not towels. Woodlands is nestled at the foot of The Five Sisters of Kintail and round the corner from Loch Duich.

Frontman accused of creating the illusion of wealth
Achilleas Kallakis created the illusion that he was vastly wealthy and a successful businessman to AIB and Lloyds to secure massive loans.
While he is the nephew of a Greek shipping magnate, Lou Kollakis, he came from a modest background which the court heard bore little relation to his claims.
His father worked as a port captain and once ran an unsuccessful nightclub in Liverpool. Mr Kallakis previously worked in a travel agency and had other small businesses, none of which were particularly successful, the court heard.
He got involved in a series of property deals with his close friend Alexander Williams, who the court heard is a businessman and financial consultant, well-versed in computer skills. Mr Williams also uses four other names: Martin Alexander Lewis, William Alexander Martin, Oliver Lewis and Steve Williams.
The Serious Fraud Offices (SFO) claims the two men worked hard to give the false impression to the banks that Mr Kallakis was the owner of Oregon Finance Corporation, a large offshore-incorporated business with shipping interests.
The SFO told the court that Mr Kallakis was the "frontman" describing him as "confident, assertive, and on occasion arrogant". Mr Williams, it said, was "self-effacing, quiet and unassuming" and was a "versatile and prolific forger".
The pair were involved in a series of transactions with Bristol and West building society, which was formerly part of Bank of Ireland, that were very similar to the alleged offences they are now accused of, the court heard.

This handy book gives you a series of fully worked-out apps, complete with their programming blocks, which you can customize for your own use or use as a starting point for creating the next killer app. And it's all without writing a single line of code. Don't miss the book's special section on Apps Inventor Design Patterns, which explains computer terms in simple terms and is an invaluable basic reference. With App Inventor for Android and this complete guide, you'll soon be creating apps that incorporate all of the Android smartphone's fun features, such as the accelerometer, GPS, messaging, and more.
From the Author: Getting Data In and Out of App Inventor Apps
In today's mobile world, applications are expected to not only provide functionality locally but also have up to date content and external awareness.
"How do I get all this data into App Inventor?" is one of the most frequently asked questions by new developers. Initially getting rows and columns of data into App Inventor was a kind of linear equation. You used the TinyWebDB or you turned to some of the third party hacks that are available.
The TinyWebDB component is still a possibility for volatile data that needs to be pulled from the internet and placed into App Inventor. It has the added benefit of being quick and allowing write to the web database. For getting rows and columns of data into App Inventor the algorithm would follow these steps:
1. Pull data from WebService and place in temporary variable.
2. Parse data into psuedo-array
3. Write data to a local TinyDB
This is still an option for getting tabular data into App Inventor. It has the advantage of being fast and stable. It has the disadvantage of needing the TinyWebDB service installed and running on a web server. Setting up and installing the TinyWebDB service can be complex and frustrating. There is the added complexity of needing a separate application to actually pre-populate TinyWebDB with data.
The App Inventor team recently released an update to App Inventor that includes functionality to allow access to the Google Fusion Tables. Google Fusion Tables is an online database solution that allows simple SQL like commands to be sent via HTTP to stored data. There is a nice back-end management solution that allows a user to pre-build and pre-populate data into created tables. All of the data lives in Google's "cloud" service. The back-end management system will be very familiar to users of Google Docs or other Google cloud products.
The algorithm for getting tabular data into an App Inventor app using Fusion Tables will follow these steps:
1. Create the desired Fusion Table and populate the table with data using the Web backend.
2. The app will be "initialized" by pulling the data from a Fusion Table.
3. The app will store the returned Lists in a local TinyDB
The advantage of Fusion Tables is the ability to easily pre-populate the online data by hand entering or importing a spreadsheet of values. This will allow the developer to maintain the data that all the deployed apps consume. Thereby, fresh content and data could be added to applications by changing the data in the Fusion Table.
The disadvantage of Fusion Tables is the data retrieval method. When the data is pulled from the Fusion Table the application stops while displaying a notification that it is pulling data from a Fusion Table. Which appears a little bit hokey on a professional level application. It is also linear and fairly slow. In other words you will not likely be repeatedly and frequently pulling data from a Fusion table in the same App session. Instead, an application would likely pull data once when the application starts and then only when specifically refreshed.
With App Inventor for Android and this complete guide, you'll soon be creating apps that incorporate all of the Android smartphone's fun features, such as the accelerometer, GPS, messaging, and more.

Mr. CANTOR. Madam Speaker, I rise today in sympathy with the victims of Iranian political oppression who have been injured or killed protesting the outcome of their election.
Yet regardless of whether Ahmadinejad or Mousavi wins, we must not maintain any illusions about where true power in Iran rests.
That would be in the hands of the Islamic Republic's clerical regime, extremists determined to advance Iran's nuclear program and use terrorism to bully other states in the region.
Much of the regime's most egregious activities are done in the dark, hidden from the world's eyes and thus escaping media attention. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps quietly funnels weapons and funding into terrorists groups from Iraq to Afghanistan to Lebanon to Gaza. Iranian centrifuges enrich uranium at nuclear plants often hidden from weapons inspectors. And terrorist groups make voyages to Iran to receive training at unspecified locations.
But this week the true colors of the Iranian regime are on broad display. With the whole world watching, the Iranian regime has been embarrassed--called to account seemingly for the first time. This is an opportunity we cannot squander. Let us rally the world around the Iranian people. Let us use this opening to show the international community how dangerous the Iranian regime is--and why a nuclear Iran is flatly unacceptable.
Regrettably, the President and Democratic leadership in congress are failing to respond to the growing threat a nuclear Iran poses to the world.
Today we call on President Obama to immediately condemn the violence the Iranian regime is perpetrating against its citizens. We call on the Speaker to immediately bring to the floor and consider the Iran Petroleum Sanctions Act. The bipartisan bill, sponsored by Chairman Berman and Ranking Member Ros-Lehtinen, would impose sanctions on the radical Iranian regime while they continue to seek nuclear weapons and destabilize the Middle East.

Just about every office I've ever worked in has had trouble with curious users. In a Windows network, the biggest problem is that any user can open the Network Neighborhood or My Network Places and see a complete listing of all of the machines that are currently on the same network—including servers. In and of itself, this isn't really a problem, assuming that your servers are secure and you don't have malicious users. However, many companies have visible servers that aren't completely secure—and a few malicious users, to boot. Let's take a closer look at this problem and what you can do to mitigate it.
Those pesky users
Some users are just naturally curious. They'll double-click on machines in the network browse list to see whether any shares show up and just to take a look at what's available on the network. In fact, I once caught an employee systematically going through every machine to see what share points existed on them. When I asked her what she was doing, she told me that she was trying to familiarize herself with the network by seeing exactly what data directories and what application folders she had rights to.
In that particular situation, I honestly believe that the user was telling me the truth and that her actions were harmless. Of course, her actions might not have been harmless if I hadn't done my job properly. Suppose that I had accidentally overlooked a share point that should have been tightly secured. The user's innocent actions could then have jeopardized a server.
The other problem with having visible servers is that they're tempting targets for hackers within your company. Countless reports suggest that most security breaches on corporate networks come from within the company, and I have seen real-world examples of this time and time again.
At the risk of embarrassing myself, one such example involves me directly. When I got my first network administration job, I was 18 years old and had just graduated from high school. My programming skills were excellent, but I knew very little about networking (comparatively speaking).
My boss understood that I was a trainee and that I already had some basic networking knowledge. She gave me limited access to the network rather than just giving me administrative access on my first day. She then suggested that I use my access to start familiarizing myself with the network. I started looking around and eventually, curiosity got the best of me. I launched an elevation of privileges attack against the network and by my third day on the job, I had created a user account with administrative privileges.
Another case in which the ability to see the server's browse list allowed an internal attack occurred at the same company about two years after I was hired. One of the departments had hired a guy to answer the phones. However, the phones didn't ring much, and he started getting bored, so he turned his attention to the network. He had downloaded some hacker utilities from AOL and started using them against the corporate network.
Although he never gained administrative access, he did manage to derive a considerable amount of information about the network. Fortunately for the IT staff, the guy loved to show off his exploits to his friends and one of them ratted him out.
Hiding your servers
As you can see, if a server is visible in the browse list, it's only a matter of time before someone who's either curious or malicious tries to break into it. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to hide your servers from the Windows network browse list. First, though, I should point out that our first technique involves editing the registry on your servers. Editing the registry is dangerous, and an incorrect edit can destroy Windows and/or your applications. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you make a full system backup before making any registry changes.
With that said, go to a machine that you want to make invisible and open the Registry Editor via the REGEDIT command. When the Registry Editor opens, navigate through the registry tree to this key.
Next, right-click on the Parameters container and select New and then DWORD Value from the resulting shortcut menu. The Registry Editor will create the value, label it New Value #1, and highlight the label for editing. To change the label, just type Hidden. (This value is case sensitive.)
Now, double-click on the Hidden key to open the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, where you can set the key's data. By default, the key is set to 0, which means that the key is disabled. You can enable the key by setting the data value to 1 and clicking OK. If you ever need to make the server visible, just set the data value back to 0 or delete the Hidden key altogether.
You can also make a server visible or invisible by using the Net Config command instead of the Registry Editor. To make a server invisible, go to the server you want to hide, open a Command Prompt window, and enter this command:
If you want to make the server visible again, use this command:
Whether you choose to modify the registry or use the Net Config command, you must either reboot the machine or stop and restart the Server service for the change to take effect. Even after rebooting or stopping and restarting the service, it could take up to 51 minutes for the server to disappear from or reappear on the browse list. This is due to the browse list's expiration policies.
Is it worth it?
Obviously, this is a simple change if you want to hide a server or two, but it can be a lot of work if you have a lot of servers to hide. So in that case, the obvious question is whether the measure is effective enough to be worth the effort. After all, the change will merely prevent users from accessing the server through the browse list. They can still access it through the UNC path (\\servername\share) or by the server's IP address, if they know either of those identifiers. And of course, hiding a server isn't going to keep an experienced hacker from finding it, either.
What it will do is stop someone from accidentally accessing it—or accessing it out of security—through the browse list. It may also prevent newbie hackers from discovering the server, depending on what tools they are using.
Hiding a server is just one of thousands of security techniques, and no one technique is going to protect your network. It can be a good precautionary security measure, but it definitely shouldn't be the only security mechanism that you use to protect network servers.


text: In Europe, there are more and more city specific TLDs released, like yourdomain.amsterdam Does anyone have made some experiences, how well they rank? Since they are pretty new, there should be a ton of EMDs available which still rank very good, especially in non-English countries. But what makes me curious is that I haven´t seen on of them ever in the top 10, so it might be these kind of TLDs who dont rank that well (like .info, .eu etc.)


text: I just bought a Dell d610 laptop with intel pro/wireless 2915ABG card. I noticed there is a light for bluetooth next to the wifi light on the keyboard but I do not have the hardware. I was wondering what I had to do to upgrade to internal bluetooth. Do I just need a module made for my computer or are they more universal?
