What is a Cinderella?

What is a cinderella? Although it has been asked before, I ask this question because there are many �labels' that could possibly be included within an overall definition and by way of sparking a (hopefully) interesting debate. In no particular order, I list below a number of categories, each having its own aspect of �legitimacy':
Private carrier stamps
. Although having no legal status in the sense that they were not issued by governments and they are not valid for use for national mail services, these stamps are bona fide in that they represent the charge paid for carrying mail, packages, etc and are normally cancelled in some way when used. They include railway stamps (for carriage of mail/parcels on public trains, including tourist train services such as preserved steam railways); telegraph stamps (to show that the telegraph fees have been paid); strike stamps (used during strike action by national mail services, when private enterprise steps in); �island' mail (at least supposedly for carriage of mail off islands where there is no direct mail service but often not much more than a tourist feature); labels issued for �Boy Scout' delivered mail (or its equivalent outside the UK) and so on. More esoteric examples might include balloon mail, rocket mail or pigeon post. Early private air mail labels, for the cost of the air transport in addition to any normal post cost, might also be considered here.
Commemorative labels and souvenirs
. These are usually issued by private companies or event organisers (although at least in the UK these may be printed by the same companies that produce legal postage stamps). These might include celebratory events such as coronations, royal visits or other public or private events such as festivals, trade fairs, philatelic congresses, etc.
Advertising labels
. Varying from the �come and visit our tourist attraction' and variations on this theme (such as the �Our Beautiful Empire' series) to commercial productions advertising products. The printed colour example labels produced for stamp collectors in the form of 100 differently coloured �stamps' mounted in a folder by Stanley Gibbons some years ago could fit into this group (they are properly and professionally printed on gummed paper and are perforated). Commercial companies have also produced commemorative advertising labels for events (such as the Seagram's Whiskey labels for the Canada Royal Visit of 1939).
. This area includes issues such as those in the UK of Lundy Island and Sealand (a former WW2 coastal fort off the UK mainland that has declared itself independent), often where the issuer is trying to establish �state recognition rights' by issuing stamps (and sometimes currency). Some governments also issue labels not intended for postal use.
. This category has affinities with the political type and is often produced by or for governments, rebels or pressure groups (such as the WW2 fantasies produced in Germany, based upon the UK 1935 Silver Jubilee and 1937 Coronation stamps and the �overprinted' forged UK definitives, to the anti Hitler caricatures).
. Although charitable stamps, sometimes with a special surcharge, are sometimes issued by governments, charities themselves do issue their own labels as fund raisers (such as the Royal Institute for the Blind and the Lord Mayor's Fund in the UK). Christmas �stamps' often fall into this category.
Overprints and perfins
. These are usually additions to legitimate postage stamps (although there are examples of cinderella labels that are overprinted, such as for the Canada/USA Royal Visit of 1939 on 1937 Coronation labels), these alterations are usually by a private company as a security measure against theft of its stamps (before the widespread introduction of private franking machines). In the UK and Commonwealth at least, government departments and local authorities have produced or used overprinted or perforated postage stamps, such as Official, War Dept, Service, etc; usually considered to be legitimate issues and catalogued as such (although UK local government and services overprints and perforated types are not).
Essays and trials
. Strangely, these are often considered as acceptable by purist stamp collectors, even when the proposed stamp never reaches production in that form. They can include �losing' designs entered in a public or invited design competition for a real stamp issue to speculative suggestions for an issue that is never taken up. There are also trials (such as the �penny black' colour trials) produced for testing purposes but again, never being put into production.
Specimen issues
. For the purposes of the Universal Postal Union, many postage stamps were overprinted or perforated �specimen' for distribution to foreign postal authorities (although at least in Australia, some of these were sold to the public) and these are usually considered to be legitimate stamps and are catalogued as such. Specimen overprints or perforations have also been used prior to full production for decision making consideration (perhaps more akin here to essays and trials). There are also examples of cinderella labels (such as for the 1937 Coronation) that have been so overprinted, presumably in this latter regard.
Training stamps
. Produced for the training of mail service employees. These include genuine stamps overprinted with bars, etc to prevent them being used for postal service, to special labels made for the purpose (the UK �poached egg' stamps).
Spoofs and manufactured items
. These are sometimes produced in only very small numbers (including the productions of Gerald King and others) and may be complete fantasies or be based upon real postage stamp designs. The UK limited edition (sometimes less than 50) �Smiler' sheets could also be considered thus.
There are doubtless other examples within each of these loose categories or of further categories, with many other examples that could be added. They range from the official to the outright bogus.
At the risk of possibly being contentious, I would suggest that for a label to be considered as being a �genuine' Cinderella (if that is not a contradiction in terms!), it should be produced in significant numbers and be available for open public purchase when issued but it should have no purpose other than being ornamental. I would argue that priced labels used for prepayment of any form of carriage or delivery are real �stamps' rather than being cinderellas, even if they are not used for a standard postal service or they are privately issued and even if the purist �stamp' collector or catalogue issuer chooses to ignore them. Somewhere in between these areas fall overprints/perfins, essays, trials, specimens, training stamps, etc; with spoofs being a bit beyond the pale!
Any thoughts? Chris Wren

Personally, I classify anything that gives the appearance of a "stamp", but not designed to be used in the postal system, the classification of a "cinderella", whether it be considered a label, poster stamp, etc. I group them all together as "cinderellas". However, I do agree the definition can become very hazy and subjective depending upon who you talk with and what country is involved.
An abbreviated version of what Wiki describes as "Cinderella Stamps" may or may not help to clarify the meaning:
In philately, a cinderella stamp has been defined as "Virtually anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration..."
As cinderella stamps are defined by what they are not, there are many different types and the term is usually construed fairly loosely. Items normally regarded as falling within the area are poster stamps, propaganda labels, commemorative stickers, stamps issued by non-recognised countries or governments, court fee stamps, charity labels like Christmas seals and Easter seals, most telegraph stamps, some railway stamps, some local stamps and purely decorative items created for advertising or amusement.
In my opinion, your term "...produced in significant numbers and be available for open public purchase when issued..." may not truly define a "cinderella" as I suspect there are thousands (perhaps tens of thousands) that were produced in small enough quantities that were intended for a local cause that may not have had widespread sales.
I am constantly amazed as to the various "cinderellas" posted on SCF, and I would dare say that new material is found almost daily that few have ever seen before. It's what makes the collecting of such items interesting.
As is the case with almost every aspect of stamp collecting, there are no right or wrong answers here, just go with your own preferences and enjoy the hobby.

I couldn't agree more about personal preferences and the convenience of an umbrella term (too many -ellas perhaps!), I myself collect ANYTHING, however loosely fitting the term, from the George VI era.
When I suggested 'significant numbers' and 'sold publicly' then obviously some issues might, like those for the 1937 Coronation, run into millions while those locally celebrating a small town fair, church restoration project or Xmas labels might only have a print run of a few hundred - but both are sold publicly so both would count. We come here to that nebulous thing so loved by collectors everywhere - relative rarity! The commonplace is accepted freely but we all pursue avidly those small issues or strange usages that are considered to be 'rare' - it must be something deep within our psyche! Rariety happens through chance or by deliberate manipulation but either are accepted.
It amuses me with some nationally produced collector packs or issues specifically aimed at the collector (some countries almost make a living of issuing stamps in huge numbers as a revenue raiser from collectors rather than for any legitimate postal need, even to issuing them pre-cancelled to suit those who want them 'used') or when these are touted as 'investments'! Should these be cinderellas too?
It is obviously a subjective matter too. Interesting that given I have not read the Wiki definition before (I don't use Wiki for anything) that almost all the categories I mentioned are included therein.
I was just interested in what others might feel! It also intrigues me that privately issued mail carriage labels, some types of which run for longer than many stamp issues, are not included within the mainstream area, just because they are not produced by a national postal service - often such things as railway stamps are produced by nationally owned and administered railways.

There have been one or two threads here specifically about 'What is a Cinderella' but I canny find them !
Nice list crwhb!
I collect anything not in the Postage Stamp catalogues of the world and put them under the general Cinderella Umbrella.
I think many others do the same. If one looks at dealers lists, auction sites, philatelic websites and literature you will see they all agree and disagree.
In short, to each their own.
The list of cwrhb is good. there are many categories under that Cinderella Umbrella and many are explained in his post. We can agree or disagree with his list but they are all Cinderellas...except one !
Limited Edition 'Smilers' sheets were mentioned
Spoofs and manufactured items. These are sometimes produced in only very small numbers (including the productions of Gerald King and others) and may be complete fantasies or be based upon real postage stamp designs. The UK limited edition (sometimes less than 50) �Smiler' sheets could also be considered thus.
The sheets have postage stamps within them and [as a whole item] cannot be considered Cinderellas. Broken down, the labels adjoining the stamps would be classed as such.
I never did write my list of categories....must get around to doing it. And if anyone comes across the thread of [I think] Warrehouse, about this very subject, please post a link here.

I concede the point about Smiler sheets, I was thinking more of those similar sheets, lacking any true postage stamps, that often reproduce real stamps of an earlier age.
Doubtless there have been other threads on the question of what might constitute a cinderella, it is a question that must have crossed the minds of most of us who are interested in such things when looking at something new or something in one of the grey areas. Wherever there is a potential market, someone will come along to service the demand!
I would be interested to see any suggestions for other categories or different examples, perhaps of things I have missed out and, like londonbus, I collect anything relevant to my period of interest, including 'tribute' items or later things that hark back to the George VI era. Chris Wren

Some of the newer innovations are pushing the envelope toward Cinderella status.
Personalized Stamps. See for example:
Also in Austria they are publishing books with stamps inside. But who would tear a page out of the book just to use the stamp?
Here is an example of a booklet.

News, Vision & Voice for the Advisory Community
New Hampshire-based software maker competes with a lower price and an easy-to-use interface
September 7, 2010 — 4:55 AM UTC by Heather Underwood
Brooke's Note: Heather really stepped into the line of fire when she agreed to review the rebalancing softwares of Tamarac, iRebal and RedBlack in quick succession. These are fierce competitors in a small nascent niche and each one undoubtedly has some advantage over the others. In a way, this RedBlack review is most interesting; because it is the third that Heather did, she was able to more fully survey the landscape of providers of rebalancing software. What's clear is that iRebal is the most established; Tamarac has the most customers and integration and RedBlack is the least expensive. It's also clear that all three solutions are making at least some customers happy. The devil is in the details and that's why it's worth reading this review — and those of iRebal's and Tamarac's products [links below] as well if you haven't already.
|Release Date
|RedBlack was founded in 2006 and made its first pre-production release Q1 2007
|User Base
|30+ firms with AUM ranging from $20 million to $1.25 billion
|Main Competitors
|iRebal, Tamarac
|Web or Desktop
|RedBlack can be accessed via a desktop application or through a cloud based application. RedBlack's "web" version does not run in a browser, but rather is run in a virtual desktop environment
|What does it do?
|RedBlack is a portfolio monitoring, rebalancing and trading software application with a wide array of feature modules including trade reports, compliance, etc.
RedBlack, based in Bedford, N.H., entered the rebalancing technology market in 2006 to challenge two established companies: iRebal and Tamarac.
RedBlack came onto the scene ready to "break out of the mold that the industry has tried to cast for its vendors," says Peter Giza, chief of technology at RedBlack. It handles the rebalancing needs of clients from $20 million to more than $1 billion AUM, but the company aims to have substantially lower pricing and faster setup and implementation time than its competitors.
Competition in the nascent market of rebalancing software is intense. Not many RIAs have migrated to rebalancing software in general, so the three companies are fighting to establish themselves in a new industry. iRebal is the standard, but Tamarac has made big strides to make its software competitive and has the most customers. See: Tech Review: iRebal thrives after TD Ameritrade acquisition
RedBlack is mainly taking on Tamarac with a pitch that it provides almost everything that the more established players do, but at less cost and less training time. In an industry where many software products take days of training time, RedBlack says it sets up clients in about two hours.
RIABiz [Nevin, Brooke and I] took a look, and we had these observations:
The usability of the product is very apparent. Roel Vlemmings, RedBlack's chief architect, has taken his Windows UI development background and constructed a very navigable, intuitive product.
A big differentiator in terms of usability between RedBlack and iRebal are each system's use of conventions. RedBlack makes the user feel familiar with the software by just looking at it. iRebal expects the user to learn its system's indicators, layout, and navigation from scratch.
RedBlack's differentiates itself from Tamarac by focusing strictly on rebalancing. Tamarac has an all-in-one suite of products, which may appeal to firms seeking such integration. See: A close look at Tamarac's Advisor 9 and its strategic use of Schwab software
RedBlack's Rebalance Express is a functional, cost-effective, user-friendly piece of software, but advisors considering the product should be willing to work with RedBlack to develop any customized functionality until the product becomes more established and robust.
Giza estimates that RedBlack with all features "turned on" would cost $8,000-$9,000 per $100 million AUM.
|AUM Range
|RedBlack Price Range
|$6,000 – $7,000
|$8,000 – $9,000
|$22,000 – $24,000
|$39,000 – $44,500
Giza attributes RedBlack's 300% growth rate over the last 8-10 months — RedBlack now has just over 30 firms as clients — to its flexibility and lack of esoteric features.
Giza says RedBlack's software sacrifices only a few infrequently used features. In exchange, advisory firms get a much lower price than competitors' packages. He identifies the firm's major competitor as Tamarac, which has lately been challenging the sector's leader, iRebal. "We provide probably 90% of what the industry needs," says Giza, "and we are taking away clients from existing competitors [primarily from Tamarac.]"
Tamarac takes issue with Giza's characterization.
"Anything that you can start using in two hours is going to be extremely basic – and from what we've heard from our clients that tried RedBlack prior to coming onboard with us, that is the case," says Matt Stroh, vice president of marketing for Tamarac.
Stroh adds that "to-date, Tamarac has never lost a client to RedBlack."
There are functionalities that RedBlack does not currently offer, two of which are asset class tolerance bands and trade approval hierarchies. I'm not sure what percentage of industry functionality this equates to, so I'll save readers my "guesstimate." RedBlack is in the process of developing these features, according to Giza.
A RedBlack Client's View
Morgan White, Managing Director for Osborne Partners Capital Management, LLC., started using RedBlack last summer. With approximately $1 billion in AUM the firm is currently reviewing the software for overall implementation; Osborne is one of RedBlack's largest clients.
"When you talk to people who have looked at it but aren't using it, you don't get a good picture of what it's about or how willing RedBlack is to work with people to address their specific needs," says White.
In 2004/2005 Osborne Partners Capital Management, LLC., was managing roughly $500-600 million and evaluated two other companies with rebalancing solutions, both were prohibitively expensive. Osborne Partners Capital Management, LLC. at the time was using a custom rebalancing system that used complex spreadsheets, manual rebalancing procedures, and data import/export.
"To rebalance 110 accounts it took two of us the better part of a day. With RedBlack I can do it in five minutes; my portfolio assistant can do it in five minutes," says White.
Building up RedBlack for Big Firms
White and his team have been working with RedBlack to adapt the software to fit their firm's specific needs. "We're not quite there yet, but we're very close. [RedBlack] handles the equity side perfectly; where we're having challenges is addressing the fixed income side," he adds.
"They've been pretty liberal with us because I've been very helpful to them and given them a lot of thought and time about the logic of how you go through a rebalancing," says White, speaking to the variations on standard training and setup his firm has undergone.
RedBlack is using client input to drive development, much as its competitors have done over the years.
Modular Approach
"We've been desperate to not pigeonhole RIAs into a situation where they cannot afford us or can't use us; that was one of the reasons for being modular," says Giza.
Modules can be turned on or off to accommodate firm requirements and include reporting tools, asset class models, models of models, multi-firm support, and adapters for a range of systems and custodians including Orion, PortfolioCenter, Black Diamond, Advent, TD, Fidelity, Schwab and Pershing. Modules are added by RedBlack, not by the client directly.
Adding an adapter (i.e. an integration capability with a custodian or other platform) usually takes RedBlack a week to implement and push out to the client.
Where is your RedBlack?
RedBlack can be run locally as a desktop application or in the cloud as a virtual desktop application.
RedBlack is not web-based as there is no browser through which a client can access the application. Being "cloud-based" means a client's data and applications are stored on a remote server, which a client can log into to access his/her virtual desktop environment. This means no on-site maintenance or hosting are required and advisors can access it from anywhere.
Clients can 'have portfolio management systems and CRMs added to the virtual environment in addition to the RedBlack software, giving advisors one virtual environment with all the products they need.
"We sell these platforms either bare bones or completely loaded up with every standard Microsoft application that people would want to have," says Giza.
RedBlack is not an example of the SaaS model used by Tamarac, which runs directly in a web browser.
User Interface
RedBlack's Rebalance Express immediately seems straightforward to use and is visually appealing without being overwhelming.
RedBlack employs a sidebar navigation system with icon indicators and text. The main part of the screen is organized into modules on the home screen and spreadsheet style layouts for account and household views.
Views are customizable via a slick drag-and-drop interface for arranging modules, columns, views, etc. and aside from some cell highlighting, color-coding, and easily-visible legends used for indications and alerts, the interface is clean and minimalistic.
Account View
The account view allows advisors to click through top-navigation tabs to work with positions, balances, rebalancing, restrictions, equivalents, transactions and orders.
From the rebalancing tab advisors can assign specific actions — close position, adjust position to %, etc. — for single securities within an account.
The "other details" tab provides basic CRM information based on portfolio management system data. In the next RedBlack release, advisors will be able to pull this data from Orion Advisor Services LLC of Omaha, Neb. and other platforms with CRM systems.
Eric Clarke, president of Orion, says he is pleased with how RedBlack has worked with his customers thus far.
"The advisors who are using that integration [between Orion and RedBlack] are pleased with it," he says. "They seem to have a good idea of what advisors are looking for and they seem to be priced pretty inexpensively."
Household View
Advisors can view groups of accounts with tax ID affinity using RedBlack's household view. It is similar to the account view except it has an overview of the accounts contained within the household.
Giza stated that RedBlack is working toward the "nirvana" of rebalancing families of accounts. A family of accounts combines multiple
households and individual accounts, each assigned its own model, which can be rebalanced at the press of a button.
One of the key reasons RedBlack uses traditional desktop technologies for its software is because of the functionality contained in the household view. "It's a very busy environment," says Giza as he showed us the collapsible columns, manual rebalancing tools, "hot keys", and reset capabilities. "You can't do that efficiently in a browser."
Pros & Cons
- Although no RedBlack client to date has needed more training than the free two-hour training that comes with the software trial, additional online training is priced at $100 per hour. On-site training comes with a minimum three-day commitment and costs a daily amount plus travel costs. Continued remediation and support are included in the cost of license.
- RedBlack does not currently have a primary and secondary hierarchy structure for trade approvals like the one implemented by iRebal, but Giza assured me that it is "on the release train."
- RedBlack has the ability to hook advisors up to a FIX network using FIX Flyer to take advantage of real time data if the portfolio management system provides this functionality. Advisors can get setup with FIX Flyer at a reduced cost through RedBlack.
Looking Ahead
RedBlack wants to provide a scalable solution for advisors and is working with clients to get it there. It has managed to provide enough functionality to handle the rebalancing needs of clients like White without sacrificing usability. The future challenge will be remaining the "value solution" while meeting a broader range of functionality needs.
Story was adjusted Sept. 7 to more accurately reflect how RedBlack is working on giving advisors the ability to rebalance families of accounts.

I think the industry leader and the largest one is Moxy by Advent – why no review to see how these newer ones stack up to that?
Peter Giza said:
September 7, 2010 — 3:12 PM UTC
That is a fantastic suggestion. What do you say Brooke? Let's bring Moxy into the mix. Maybe there are some firms out there willing to participate in a rebalancing / trade order "bake-off"? Could be fun!
Brooke Southall said:
September 7, 2010 — 4:12 PM UTC
Bryan and Peter,
Moxy goes under the moniker of 'trade order management' so I hadn't thought of of it as a head-to-head, apples-to-apples competitor with iRebal, Tamarac and RedBlack.
It also isn't clear to me whether Moxy is primarily for advisors — or whether it's something made more for hedge fund and other asset managers?
In any case, it may be worth reviewing. I could use more input.
Morgan White said:
September 7, 2010 — 4:21 PM UTC
We've seen the demo of the next Moxy releases, and in my personal opinion (and not speaking for the firm), Moxy does not and will not come close to providing what any of the other three do. Moreover, the UI is the opposite of intuitive, one of the things that really appealed to me about RedBlack.
Peter Giza said:
September 7, 2010 — 4:27 PM UTC
I think Morgan answered it well from the advisors perspective. Institutional trader like Moxy for what it does and does not do. It is geared to grid view day trading environments, not modeled asset allocation. I am sure Advent is far more capable of clarifying for your readers.
Ron Ferguson said:
September 8, 2010 — 3:03 AM UTC
I think a bake-off or shoot-out would be a great story and a great service for many firms currently looking or thinking about rebalancing systems. Many of the Advisors we work with are highly interested in enhancing efficiency, reducing rection times and providing better trade execution – a number are looking for rebalancing systems.
If you really are considering a shoot-out, you should also include National Advisor Trust's AdvisorDesk platform that incorporates a rebalancing solution from SunGard. National Advisors Trust worked with SunGard to incorporate multi-custodian and RIA specific capabilities into a comprehensive and robust rebalancing system used by well over a hundred banks. Banks have been using rebalancing systems for years to drive efficiencies into their operations. National Advisors Trust is focused on introducing this system to the RIA community.
Peter Giza said:
September 8, 2010 — 3:58 AM UTC
In fairness to all vendors who would like to participate in a bake-off I believe you must keep it focused on a specific application(s). We are not discussing an all-in-one platform in this context. What we are discussing is rebalancing and trade management.
Ron Ferguson said:
September 8, 2010 — 10:40 PM UTC
I agree. A bake-off should compare apples to apples – the rebalancing and trading system in AdvisorDesk is just that – a rebalancing, trading and trade order management system. This system does not perform accounting functions found in apps like Axys or Portfolio Center – it is directly competitive with Tamarac, iRebal and Moxy – maybe with RedBlack as well. It can be purchased without other services. If there is a bake-off it should be included.
Peter Giza said:
September 8, 2010 — 11:06 PM UTC
Great! Now that that is settled we just need to find qualified sponsors for such an event. Maybe the custodians will pick up on this thread and sponsor such an event:)
Nevin Freeman said:
September 8, 2010 — 11:14 PM UTC
How about an RIABiz-moderated "bake-off" track at a conference like T3? There could be a session for each major RIA-tech category. I picture every vendor with a projector of their own, simultaneously going through a pre-determined set of demo steps specific to that type of software, with opportunities to showcase what they think they excel in.
Peter, do you think we could get a critical mass of vendors to do a live, parallel showcase of functionality? I had this sort of idea a while ago and Brooke pointed out that many vendors might be afraid of sticking their necks out there.
Peter Giza said:
September 8, 2010 — 11:33 PM UTC
I had brought this up with Joel and Dave last year. Unfortunately there was no one to take up the flag. Having a competing vendor act as flag bearer and/or moderator on any panel, forum or bake-off is not generally well received. I believe than RIABiz will get more traction either directly or by guilting vendors into it:) Perhaps you could poll the RIA community and use their petitions as a way to make this happen. There has to be thought put into classifying results. It would be unfair to put a system designed for <1000 accounts up against a system that is capable of handling 100,000+ accounts in a performance match. They may compete on a UI quality, workflow or other perspective, but not on performance. There is a significant amount of thought and planning involved.
PS. And yet Brooke was correct, many vendors may be unwilling to air their laundry so to speak.

Peter, I have been looking to upgrade my rebalancing solution. Regarding your pricing range, what level of support is included? Do you offer additional support/training and if so, how is it priced? If I chose a local install, does the software require a dedicated server or can it run on a workstation running other apps? Is the pricing and support level the same for local installations? If not, now is it different. Looking forward to your responses. Thanks.
Peter Giza said:
September 23, 2010 — 12:55 PM UTC
The above questions were answered directly via phone
Zack Fuller said:
September 23, 2010 — 2:21 PM UTC
Peter, the rest of us readers would be interested in the answer to this. And can you answer what the additional cost is if you host the application for us?
Peter Giza said:
September 23, 2010 — 4:58 PM UTC
Here are my comments on Brian's questions:
Q: Regarding your pricing range, what level of support is included?
A: 20 hours of remedial telephone, unlimited online support and core product updates during license term
Q: Do you offer additional support/training and if so, how is it priced?
A: 2 hours of no additional cost personalized web-based training with license. Additional training is provided via web at $100 / hour in 4 hour blocks
Q: If I chose a local install, does the software require a dedicated server or can it run on a workstation running other apps?
A: For most firms with less than 2000 accounts and 2-5 users, our product runs great on standard desktop hardware that has adequate performance head-room to support SQL server. Larger firms with 10,000 accounts or greater we recommend Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 due to the limitations physical memory access of previous Microsoft operating systems. We have very successfully rebalanced 10,000 accounts, creating 150,000 trade orders on a Windows 7 Intel i6 platform with 4GB of physical memory in 10 minutes. That represents a hardware cost outlay of $1K.
Q: Is the support level the same for local installations?
A: There is no differentiation is support cost for the application.
Q: Is the pricing the same for local installations?
A: Local and "fixed" cloud installation are on par with each other on pricing. Enterprises with a large number of users or firms that wish to use the cloud environment as a secondary virtual desktop for disaster recovery, remote office, etc., have additional costs associated with that platform. The cost/benefit analysis presents a strong ROI argument for cloud based operations. We will be happy to provide more information via live demo.
I hope that helps clarify things.
Kind regards,

Brian, Brooke, Heather and Peter,
There is a new system out called BlazePortfolio. In my eyes their product, Atom Align, is going to be a top competitor in a year or less. Atom Align integrates model re-balancing, electronic trading and portfolio management all in one. There are endless features that promotes customization while on a user friendly interface. BlazePortfolio's team is eager to teach and train new clients free of charge. It is a new system that tailors to client needs and is constantly improving. Check it out!

Hybrid Scheme for Discovering and Selecting Internet Gateway in Mobile Ad Hoc Network
Global connectivity to Mobile Ad Hoc NETwork (MANET) is necessary to access the Internet services from the MANET. Nodes in a MANET that connect it to the Internet are called Internet gateways. Internet gateways need to be discovered and selected in an appropriate way to deliver more packets to the Internet and reduce end-to-end delay. Currently, there are proactive, reactive, and hybrid schemes to discover and select Internet gateways in MANET. However, these schemes do not scale well with the number of nodes, traffic load, and speed of the nodes in MANET.

The Fox and the Grapes
September 23, 2011Posted by on
One hot summer's day, a fox strolled through an orchard until he came to a bunch of ripe grapes on a vine trained over a lofty branch.
"Just the thing to quench my thirst," he cried.
Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a "One, Two, Three," he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he sought the tempting morsels, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying:
"I am sure they are sour."

Writing A Storyline
September 16, 2011Posted by on
My notes for writing an effective storyline.
Single sentence of 25 words or less.
Tell only the most interesting thread of the story.
Do not reference more than two characters.
Reference the character(s) that must overcome the biggest obstacle, has the most significant paradox, severe contradiction in personal values and/or plays the strongest role in the story.
Unless it's a famous character like Yoda, don't use the characters' name. Instead, provide a description using adjectives that evoke feelings of sympathy (e.g. vulnerable), places them outside the norm (e.g. telepathic), or both (e.q. disabled).
Omit anything that isn't absolutely essential to leaving an impression compelling the reader to want more.

This place is terrible. I called Tuesday (8/20/2013) to ask if they were selling FTV:20 and ask if they were taking pre-orders. I was told by the gentleman on the phone that no they were selling them first come first serve and they were going to get 10 of them and they would be for sale for slightly above msrp. I explained I wanted one for my boyfriends birthday and he said that he usually opens a little early and if I got there early when he opened up I could get one if I was the first one there. I came in Thursday night (tonight) and was told that they had five FTV:20's and they were all "spoken for" I told the person behind the counter exactly what I was told Tuesday and he said that person I spoke with was not handling the FTV:20's and he had no idea what he was talking about despite the fact that gentleman I spoke with Tuesday said he also owned the store.
The man I spoke with then changed his story saying they did have ten but that wasnt really a lot (other places also got ten, twenty at the most since Wizards of the Coast made it a limited set) and that FTV:20 was like a "bar of gold" and said he wouldnt be selling them in the store. So were they spoken for? Or is he going to jack the price up and sell them on e-bay later? How would Wizards of the Coast feel if they knew this store was ripping people off instead of spreading their product for the MSRP of $40?
I was informed I could get one online for 250 and the man at the counter asked me questions about all the other places in town. I told him they did pre-orders and they sold them for 40 dollars like they were supposed to. All his customers heard me say that so I hope someone was a pre-order person who can tell if he's scamming people.
In short from the ten minutes I spent in his store it was dirty, the carpet was filthy, it smelled sickly sweet like garbage that had cheap deodorant sprayed over it. The person at the front counter was rude, lied to me, and the merchandise, that I have seen sold all over town, was marked up to twice the price. Do yourself a favor and go to places like Enchanted Realms, Gamer Haven, and Muse. Even Dalez, who has a history of being expensive is a better place than this.
Caveat emptor.

Santa Barbara, California (PressExposure) May 17, 2008 -- As part of the Granada Theatre Restoration Design and Construction Team, Steven Handelman of Steven Handelman Studios designed and manufactured all the decorative lighting for Santa Barbara's completely restored Granada Theatre, which opened in late February 2008.
Over 250 fixtures, including chandeliers, wall sconces and pendants, were handmade by skilled craftsmen in the firm's Santa Barbara workshops to stylishly light every nook and cranny of the 50,000 square foot historic theatre.
Handelman admits the task was a challenge, but relished it. "Santa Barbara is my home," he said, "and it was a thrill to be involved in this once in a lifetime project. How often does a designer get to participate in the restoration of a grand, Gilded Age entertainment and motion picture palace when it's being transformed into a state of the art, regional performing arts center?"
The majority of the Granada's lighting fixtures were selected from the Steven Handelman Studios Catalog, which offers over 350 choices in the company's signature Santa Barbara style. The remaining decorative lights were modified from standard fixtures or newly designed by Handelman in collaboration with Phillips Metsch Sweeney Moore Architects. In addition, Steven Handelman Studios restored and duplicated several existing fixtures from the original theatre.
Although made in the early twenty-first century, the Granada's new lighting fixtures iterate the hand-tooled workmanship and hand-forged appearance of the theatre's original 1920's lighting, as a result of Steven Handelman Studios employing the same non-mechanized fabrication techniques that were used to craft the vintage pieces eight decades ago.
No stranger to theatre lighting design, Steven Handelman Studios has supplied lighting for every theater in Santa Barbara, including the Lobero and the Arlington. The firm is currently at work on the Music Academy of the West's new Hahn Hall, which is scheduled to open in 2009.
For thirty-seven years, Steven Handelman Studios's respect for historic authenticity, handmade techniques, and high quality have made the firm a favored choice of the most prestigious Hotels, Country Clubs, Shopping Centers, Theme Parks and Residences throughout the United States and Europe.
"The Granada is one my proudest accomplishments," says Steven Handelman.

Orthodox Preparing to Split From El Al
A warning by Lithuanian Rabbi and public leader Rabbi Eliashiv against flying El Al has resulted in a wave of inquiries to foreign airlines in Israel by travelers from the religious and haredi sectors, TheMarker has found. The orthodox community is leaning toward a boycott of El Al following a Shabbat flight operated by the company 10 days ago from Miami to Israel, bringing passengers stuck there because of the strike. Along with Rabbi Eliashiv, rabbis of various communities believe that it is they, and not the management of El Al, who should decide what constitutes pikuach nefesh - the Jewish law that permits desecration of the Jewish sabbath in order to save a life.
CEO of Continental Airlines and chairman of the Foreign Airlines Panel in Israel, Avi Freidman, said that Continental and other foreign airlines, have received a deluge of inquiries on their services from a variety of Jewish religious streams, mainly whether glatt kosher food is served, and details about entertainment provisions during flights, but added that the sector itself is not a new clientele for the foreign companies. British Airways CEO in Israel Yael Katan agreed, saying that she had been surprised by the number of calls received yesterday.
Orthodox constitute about 20 percent of El Al's customers, and a boycott will cost the company about $300 million.

Get ready for CallXpress®, SU's new voice mail system
SU's new voice mail system, CallXpress®, will be activated on the evening of Wednesday, April 4. Once activated, calls to the SU voice mail access number, 443-2527, will be directed to the new system. CallXpress includes a new feature called Simple Unified Messaging (Simple UM), which allows you to receive an email notification and a WAV file of each voice mail message.
Go to telecom.syr.edu for complete information, including detailed instructions.
Check your voice mail to get your personal introductory security code.
Your personal introductory security code will be sent to you in a voice mail message on Wednesday, March 14. This code is needed to initialize your new CallXpress voice mailbox. This message will not activate the "message waiting" indicator on your phone, so be sure to check your voice mail on March 14.
Use your security code to initialize your new voice mailbox before April 4.
Initialize your voice mailbox from your SU landline phone. This can be done at any time, preferably before the system is activated on the evening of April 4.
Initialization will take only a few minutes:
1. Dial into the system at 443-2578.
2. Enter your Personal Introductory Security Code (from the March 14 voice mail message).
3. Follow the prompts to set up and personalize your mailbox with a new security code, and record your name and new greeting. Your new security code of four to 15 digits must have at least three unique digits, not contain your mailbox number, and not form a simple numeric sequence (i.e., 12345).
4. After the mailbox is set up, the tutorial will continue with some shortcuts and tips for using the system.
After the new system is activated, any user who has not already done so will be required to initialize their mailbox the first time they dial into the voice mail system.
CallXpress will be ready by Thursday, April 5.
You can begin using CallXpress the morning of Thursday, April 5, by calling the same phone number that you now use for voice mail: 443-2527.

Particularly suitable are catalysts containing nickel which contain aluminum oxide, aluminum silicate or magnesium silicate as support material. Many of the suitable catalysts are commercially available. The reaction heat from the methanation can be removed by passing the reaction mixture emerging from each catalyst layer, prior to the admixture of the gas rich in CO and CO2,palm kernel crushing machine through a heat exchanger where it is cooled by the evaporation of water boiling under pressure. Another method of cooling consists in performing the methanation in tubular reactors containing the catalyst in tubes surrounded by a coolant, especially water, boiling under pressure. A contribution is made to the cooling of the reaction mixture by mixing the hydrogen-rich partial stream or the reaction mixture, as the case may be, with the portions of the partial stream that is rich in CO and CO2 while the latter are cold, say, at the ambient temperature or even lower. On the other hand, the reaction conditions, especially the hydrogen content and the temperature of the entering reaction mixture, can be influenced by placing a layer of a catalyst which brings about the conversion of carbon monoxide with steam to carbon dioxide and hydrogen ahead of one, several or all of the catalyst beds. The conversion reaction will increase the hydrogen content and raise the temperature, on the one hand, and on the other hand it will reduce the carbon monoxide and water vapor contents.
Referring now to the drawing, the complete plant of FIG. 1 consists of the pressure gasification apparatus, A, the carbon monoxide conversion apparatus B, the two gas purification stages C and D with their common regeneration system E,rock crushing equipment for sale a first methanation stage F, a compression stage G, and a final methanation stage H. The pressure gasification apparatus A includes the actual pressure gasifier and the immediately adjoining system for direct cooling in a washing condenser, followed by indirect condensers in the form, for example, of waste-heat boilers. The converter system B is advantageously constructed in the form of a raw gas converting system as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,069,249 and 3,069,250 for which the raw gas is cooled only down to the vicinity of the dewpoint and is separated from the condensate so that the excess water vapor still present after the pressure gasification will be utilized.
The two gas purifying systems C and D include gas condensers in which the gas, still containing the medium oils and light oils of the tar, is cooled down to the ambient temperature, the oils and water vapor being removed as condensate. The actual purification of the gas is performed in both of the partial streams of the gas by washing with methanol at temperatures of about -30°C. using a procedure known as the "Rectisol Process" and described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,863,527. The two gas purification systems C and D are of a two-stage construction, so that a selective desulfurization can be carried out in the first stage with only a slight absorption of CO2. The absorption stages C and D have a common regeneration system E.

UFC 211: Fists will fly as Miocic and dos Santos run it back in Dallas
One of the best heavyweight scraps of recent years will get a second chapter this weekend when UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic puts his title on the line against old adversary Junior dos Santos in Dallas.
The main event of UFC 211 will pit the two heavyweight stars head to head for a second time, with defending champ Miocic desperate to retain his belt and in the process avenge his decision loss to the Brazilian in Phoenix back in 2014.
Back then the due traded leader for five full rounds as the bout went all the way to the scorecards, but with Miocic in the best form of his career and dos Santos looking back to his prime, the smart money may be on this one finishing before the final klaxon this time around.
The co-main event sees the most dominant female athlete in the UFC today, Poland's Joanna Jedrzejczyk, put her undisputed strawweight title on the line when she takes on heavy-handed Brazilian Jessica Andrade.
Jedrzejczyk has looked as dominant a champion as you'll find under the UFC banner so far, turning back the challenges of Jessica Penne, Valerie Letourneau, Claudia Gadelha and Karolina Kowalkiewicz since her destruction of former champion Carla Esparza back in March 2015.
But she'll need to be wary – particularly early on – against the strong, powerful Andrade, who has hit the best form of her career since dropping down from 135 to 115lbs.
Andrade stopped Penne a round quicker than Jedrzejczyk managed, then subbed Scotland's Joanne Calderwood inside a round before outpointing former Invicta champion Angela Hill in an exciting back-and-forth contest.
Expect another toe-to-toe war when she meets the champion in the middle of the cage on Saturday night.
UFC 211: Main Card
Stipe Miocic v Junior dos Santos (UFC heavyweight title)
Joanna Jedrzejczyk v Jessica Andrade (UFC strawweight title)
Demian Maia v Jorge Masvidal (welterweight)
Frankie Edgar v Jair Rodriguez (featherweight)
Watch UFC 211 live on BT Sport 2 on Saturday May 13. TV prelims live from 1am, main card live from 3am. Early prelims live on UFC Fight Pass from approx 11:30pm.

The concern of investigators, as Baer recounted in his book, was that he was in violation of presidential orders and U.S. law that prohibited assassinations. Baer passed a polygraph test, but it would be almost a year before he and his team were cleared. Nevertheless, Baer's career was damaged and never recovered.
Shortly after the intercept, Chalabi's militia forces and Kurdish fighters went ahead with an attempted coup, launching a three-city strike against Hussein's troops. But the offensive quickly foundered.
The White House, having warned Chalabi not to proceed because Iraqi intelligence had learned of the operation, declined to provide air power to help him. Hussein's troops crushed the attackers, leaving the CIA angry that it had funded such a fiasco and infuriating top officials in the Clinton administration.
Taken together, the intercept and the foiled revolt marked a turning point in the CIA's relationship with Chalabi, an official said. The events explain to a large extent why the CIA later cut Chalabi off from funding and refused to administer money appropriated for his organization in the late 1990s that was aimed at bringing about Hussein's fall. CIA authorities knew the funds were headed for Chalabi, and they would not work with him any further, the official said.
For many years, Chalabi has made no secret of his contacts with leaders in Iran. He has described his ties as purely expedient, reflecting Iran's strategic significance in the region.
One of Chalabi's top lieutenants, Aras Karim Habib, who served as the Iraqi National Congress's intelligence chief, has long been considered by the CIA as a paid agent for Iranian intelligence, according to senior intelligence officials. He has denied that allegation.
Chalabi's attorney, John J.E. Markham II, said yesterday that his client has denied passing sensitive or classified information to the Iranians and is more than willing to tell that to anyone in the U.S. government. "We have not been contacted by anyone from the Department of Justice, the FBI or the CIA," he said.
Staff writers Steve Coll, Allan Lengel and Susan Schmidt contributed to this report.

These 6 albums just went Platinum under new rules to include streaming
LOS ANGELES — The Recording Industry Association of America is slowly, ever so slowly, accepting this whole streaming thing.
The RIAA announced Monday that it will now include streaming in determining an album's Gold or Platinum status. Effective right this second, 1,500 on-demand audio and video streams will equate to one album sale, the organization said in a statement. (An album has to move 500,000 copies to achieve Gold status and 1 million for Platinum.)
The news comes two years after the RIAA began counting streaming toward its Digital Single Award, meaning they'll count both sales and streams for single and album certificates. Read more…

FOR someone whose life ambition seems to be to stay up all night, my son is a bit of a wimp when it comes to crawling out from under the duvet in the mornings.
He's the sort who'd rather share his Smarties with his sister than admit he's tired before 9pm and will go to the extraordinary lengths of agreeing to a bath or reading a book if it means it will push bedtime back by another 20 minutes.
Sleeping, much like eating, is just not cool when you're eight. It's an unnecessary inconvenience preventing you from getting on with the important things in life such as kicking a football, swotting up on the vital statistics of every footballer in the land or mercilessly teasing your sister.
Yet, come the morning, his bravado has deserted him and there seems to be a real communication issue between his brain and his legs.
Not even the magic words "pocket money", "shops" and "football stickers" are enough to rouse him out of the sack before 8am on weekends.
This weekend, of course, the clocks go forward making 7am the new 8am. The start of British Summer Time is always one of the highlights of the year for me.
It marks the end of the cold, wet days of winter and the start of the warm, wet days of summer. It's one of a series of totally eccentric events held specifically to buoy our spirits up during these dark, dire months we commonly refer to as spring.
We toss pancakes in the air, send anonymous cards to lovers, take our mums out for lunch and then turn all the clocks in the house forward an hour.
Naturally there are people who complain every year about the inconvenience of it all and rattle on about how many lives could be saved if we did away with BST altogether.
Some statistics would even have us believe seasonal clock-watching is almost as dangerous as, well, swimming backstroke in leisure centres.
There is the great risk, after all, that you'll miss church on Sunday morning or undercook the roast dinner.
There's no doubt that putting clocks forward and backwards is more of a chore than it once was. Gone are the days when all you had to do was stop the grandfather clock.
Today there's a timepiece built into everything that carries electricity, from your microwave to your mobile phone. Locating all your clocks and then figuring out how to re-set them will quickly eat into any hour you might have gained.
Given the choice, I'd rather lose the hour at, say, 4pm on Friday and gain it back on a Monday morning but other than that I wouldn't interfere with the ritual.
In this digital age there is something reassuring about winding the hands on clocks and watches. It jars with all notions of computerised efficiency and makes us feel in control of our time. It marks a dramatic start to the seasons and gives us an excuse for being out of sync with life for a good few weeks afterwards and therefore particularly prone to April Fool pranks.
So I'm selling the prospect of being up and ready for church by 7am on Sunday as a positive experience to my son. Not only will he miss a whole hour's sleep - he'll also have extra time to play football outside. Time, I'll tell him, simply flies when you're having fun.
