Before I'm inundated with anguished howls from those who think I'm barmy, let's get one thing straight here – I KNOW The Satanic Rites of Dracula isn't a great movie. And I KNOW there are plot holes in it you could drive a hearse and four horses through. But it's high time we took another look at this unloved, underrated classic, and asked ourselves if we're really being fair to it – because I believe our judgement has been coloured over the years by the views of critics and so-called expert commentators.
It was released in 1974 – incidentally the year of my birth – when Hammer was pretty much going through its final throws. Budgets had not just been cut, they'd been almost annihilated, and a new breed of film-makers had arrived in an attempt to recapture the studio's gory glory days.
Director Alan Gibson and screenwriter Don Houghton had already made the truly appalling Dracula AD1972, but Houghton had also penned a couple of very strong Jon Pertwee Doctor Who adventures – Inferno and The Mind of Evil. It seems he fused the two together and came up with The Satanic Rites of Dracula.
If you need evidence of this, imagine Van Helsing is The Doctor, a man oddly out of time in present-day London; Dracula is The Master, his long-standing arch enemy (at one point, the Count even declares "I am The Master"!); Jessica Van Helsing is the sexy assistant, and there's even a UNIT-style presence in the form of Inspector Murray and the secret service led by Torrance. In fact, if Peter Cushing had played The Doctor as he plays Van Helsing here – quiet, steely, determined but with vulnerability – rather than as the bumbling eccentric he adopted for his two cinematic outings, then his portrayal may have been regarded as one of the strongest ever seen.
Cushing is at his best, giving an understated yet believable performance. His gaunt features indicate a tired man giving his all in dire consequences; he's also incredibly moving when he realises his beloved granddaughter is about to become his nemesis's bride. Plus, there are some wonderful bits of trademark Cushing 'business', such as melting down the silver crucifix to make a bullet, and the most extraordinary serving of tea I've ever seen on film!
Any self-respecting Hammer fan knows that Christopher Lee was a reluctant participant, even refusing to say some lines because they were "not true to Stoker" – which is not exactly a great argument from him, seeing as setting the entire story in present-day London wasn't exactly true to the author either… It's been rumoured that Dracula had originally also been given lines from The Book of Revelation – imagine the amazing power Lee's voice would have given to a speech including:
"The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars.. they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
"…there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."
Lee nevertheless gives arguably his strongest performance as the Count since his original outing 16 years earlier; he's quietly sinister, somehow managing to dominate proceedings even when he's not on screen. You can feel Dracula's sinister presence throughout, pulling the strings of those in his power. It's been well documented that Vincent Price gave an uncharacteristically grumpy, menacing portrayal of Matthew Hopkins in Witchfinder General due to his arguments with director Michael Reeves; could Lee be doing a similar thing? ie channelling his anger and disappointment at being involved in a project he regarded below his talents into giving a particularly chilling portrayal?
For me, one of the most pleasing aspects of Satanic Rites is its strong supporting cast. Michael Coles reprises his role as Murray from AD1972, while Joanna Lumley replaces Stephanie Beacham as Jessica, the always wonderful Freddie Jones is Van Helsing's doomed friend Keeley, and William Franklyn plays Torrance.
A few years before he died, I had the good fortune to speak to Franklyn about the film. He wouldn't have a bad word said about Cushing, but hinted that Lee wasn't an easy man to get along with. Interestingly, Franklyn's daughters hated the film – they were terrified because for the first time they were forced to witness their father's death onscreen!
I also contacted Jones, who replied in a charming letter, saying, "time has erased my memory of the entire experience." Can't you just imagine him saying that, in that slightly quavering delivery of his? He also claimed the only thing he could remember about his Hammer experiences was that they didn't pay much!
But I digress…
Although this article is relatively short, I'm hoping it will inspire horror fans to give The Satanic Rites of Dracula a second chance. The law of diminishing returns may suggest that it's the worst of Lee's outings in the big, black cloak, but I argue it's far from that. Yes, there are certain issues with aspects of the plot (why don't they just raid Pelham House as soon as they see it's full of vamps? Why doesn't Keeley's assassin make sure Van Helsing is dead, thus allowing him to save the day?) but if you can put these to the back of your mind, there's the making of a strong horror thriller featuring a series of excellent performances.
As for me, I'm hoping a certain Steven Moffat realises the story's potential and turns it into the basis for a Doctor Who adventure. Over to you, Steven…

Lovely and refreshing review from you Sarah.
I have to agree with everything you say as I re-watched it last year. I've seen worse!
Great review Sarah. Satanic Rites' faults aside the 70′s contemporary setting gives it a fantastic look and colour pallet.
For me it also stirs that je ne sais quoit feeling I get while watching The Man Who Haunted Himself.
A good review,I too saw it recently and it was as good as I remember.
Why is it this film is not available as 'The Satanic Rites of Dracula. instead all I can find is a very bad transfer under the title Count Dracula & His Brides on DVD.I know you can get it on VHS but not on DVD
Thanks for the feedback guys – glad everyone seems to have enjoyed the article. It's also good to hear that I'm not completely bonkers and that there are some other people out there who like Satanic Rites!
Interesting to read your perspective on the film. I was surprised by your concerns that people might think you're "barmy", though, as I certainly don't see and hear relentless negativity concerning the film, and I first saw a magazine article describing it as a classic a very long time ago. I know a lot of Hammer fans and I'm only aware of one that would describe the film as poor. Personally I like it and although I'd agree that it's far from perfect, its aspirations to pull off an intriguing story with an epic scope are commendable. Ironically, whilst helping to elevate the reputation of SROD, you have also identified with the negativity that used to be common in relation its predecessor, by referring to; "the truly appalling Dracula AD1972″. You have every right to express your opinion, of course, but I think the fairly recent issue of Little Shoppe of Horrors that re-evaluated both modern Dracula films, confirmed that a lot of fans have considerable affection for AD72 too!
wow great review made me go back and look ad72 wich is a good popcorn movie but the satanic rites is a bit darker .
From the opening sequence with the guy being hit to the final show down great film
carried on mr cushing & mr lee where at they hights in that movie cant see a better van helsing and a better count wow 30yrs later still think its a classic ad 72 leads on to satanic and it still gives me goose bumps the cellar sceane wow thats all i can say

What is the best concert I have been to? This is a tricky question to answer as I've been to a few different concerts and each have been good for different reasons.
In order:
- Busted
- Sugababes (went backstage)
- P!nk- I'm not dead tour
- P!nk- Funhouse tour
- One Direction (went twice, second time we were in the 4th row)
- Westlife farewell tour
I think the best one would have to be P!nks funhouse tour. Not only is she an amazing singer but an amazing performer as well. I would love to see her live again.
QOTD: What's the best concert you've ever been to?

The Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) at CBI has a volunteer opportunity for YOU!
Looking for a way to get involved? Our committed group of fabulous IHN volunteers invites you to join us! What is IHN? IHN is a network of religious congregations that provide food and shelter to meet the immediate needs of families in crisis.
What does that mean? Four times a year, our congregation – the only Jewish congregation in town – opens our facilities to homeless families with children. Each time we "host" the families, we may have up to four families as guests. Each hosting period lasts one week. During that week, our guests sleep in 4 rooms on the 3rd floor of our Education Building. They shower in the clergy suite and eat dinners in Smith Auditorium. Our guests join us at approximately 5:30 p.m. Sunday – Friday, and leave around 7 a.m. in the morning. During the day, children are at school or day care, and parents are either working or elsewhere.
Every moment our guests are on our facilities, we have volunteers hosting. What do our volunteers do:
- help set up 4 "bedrooms" for our guests
- bring food for the families to use for breakfast, lunch, and snacks
- cook food for the families evening dinner
- spend the night at the congregation to host overnight!
- help serve and clean-up meals
- drive a trailer to and from our congregation
- help clean-up after our families leave
- hang out with the families on the weekends
- entertain the children by bringing crafts, other activities, dogs, or their own children
- and more
For a successful hosting, we need about 45+ people to volunteer! Please consider joining us. You can spend more time with other volunteers or share your caring with our guests. We are a diverse group of volunteers who are
- retired or working or looking
- single or married, looking or not looking
- female or male
- CBI members or former members and even some members of other congregations
- young and older
- warm and wonderful
- wanting to help
IHN at CBI is fortunate to have such wonderful support from the CBI clergy, staff, and members.
To ask questions or get involved: contact Sam and Ava Spetalnick.

There are some occasions when we need to debug the test classes in our unit tests base in the maven project. Ever wondered how to do that?? Well i did at the beginning when i had to debug the ODE test cases and that was when i found the way with maven surefire plugin. However this method can be used with any maven built project than ODE too.
Environment: Ubuntu 10.04
Apache ODE 1.3.5
Apache Maven 2.2.1
Maven Surefire Plugin 2.5
IntelliJ Idea 10.0.3
Here we go. Apache ODE's root 'pom.xml' file generally includes the maven surefire plugin by default as a test framework. The surefire 'debug' option is used to remotely debug the test classes in any of the modules in ODE project which is built using maven. First of all let's create a remote debug configuration with 'localhost' and default '5005' port, which is used by surefire. I have called mine as 'maven'.
|Figure 1: Create a remote debug for Surefire
Now go to the specific module in ODE project directory in which we want to debug the test class. If you need to debug a single test class simply use the following command.
odeTrunk/bpel-compiler$ mvn clean install -Dmaven.surefire.debug -Dtest="CompilationMessageTest" -o
-Dmaven.surefire.debug : This tells maven to enable the surefire debug property and it will listen on default port 5005, for a remote debug connection to get attached.
-Dtest="CompilationMessageTest" : This command is used to declare the exact test class we need to debug.
-o : Informs maven to build the module offline. If you need to build it online just remove the '-o' command.
When maven starts to build in debug mode we can see that it will hang on the console when waiting for a remote debug configuration as shown here.
|Figure 2: Starting debug a single test class
At this time start the 'maven' debug in the IDE and it will pause at the given breakpoint in our 'CompilationMessageTest' class in the 'bpel-compiler'module.

I've been involved in the TDM community now since before we had a game, since way back when we were arguing over lock picking methods lol
Finally, I'm finished with Briarwood Manor - my first Fan Mission for The Dark Mod. I've been hatching this for a year so I'm wrapped it's
finally done.
Briarwood Manor
Crowind - made the Briefing for the mission: This is the HD version.
Briarwood Manor is a old manor house built and added on to over the years which gives it it's design.
The family part is the original home, and two other parts were added on later. Inspiration came from
an image in the TDM Editors Inspiration thread.
Available through in-game downloader. - available also in the link below.
Update Version 1.7 - Fixed some brush splitting, and a problem with the stairs. Also fixed a readable problem, and a few other
minor problems. Added little more detail around the woodshed.
Update Version 1.6 - Fixed problem with Crowleys Diary, and a screwed up shadow in the old well.
Update: Version 1.5 - Resolved the problems with the Steward and the Dropkey. They should never be a problem again. Unless you decide
to hit him, then you are going to break him from his route lol. Fix an sound issue, and fixed a problem where the player could get into places
he shouldn't until the right time. lol
Improved the performance for the garden area. It should be playable for low end PC's now. If you get stutter issues, drop your video settings,
especially the LOD setting. With LOD set to Very Low, Fog will be gone, and detail will be dropped a lot at a distance. The higher you raise
your LOD the more you get. ie at LOW LOD Fog comes back. Experiment so you get a setting your PC is happy with. You can use the console
command com_showfps 1 to see what FPS you are getting. 30 and above are acceptable. Enjoy.
Update: Version 1.4 - Resolved (partially the drop key issue - save before you go into Stewards room, fixed many other minor problems picked up by Abusimplea. Added a new room, made the map a bit more open, solved some of the difficulty issues people had. The map should now be ghostable. I hope. Should be added to the in game downloader within a day or so depending.
If you download from this link, top right arrow pointing down, is how you download it. Click it.
A few things to note:
1+ Hour of gameplay -
Easy Difficulty is intended for new players. Hard/Expert for most of the TDM Community. This is a challenging map for new players. Use your tools
Features a custom intro (above) and a few custom sounds, and some voice acting.
This mission is not for low end PC's. The house is fine, but the garden will make lower end PC's grind. The map
has been made sensitive to LOD settings. So if it's grinding you're PC drop you're LOD settings for it, then you can return them to
normal once you've finished. On my Medium PC gtx 760 with Normal LOD I get 30 to 60 fps in the garden. I upgraded to GTX 1070
and get pretty good 60 fps in the garden.
Giles MacCadie (Steward) played by myself
If you are stuck or need help, fastest way to reach me is message me on my youtube channel (link bottom of this post). Use the resources you were given and you should have no problems. Otherwise post spoiler free in this thread.
Credits: Crowind put my briefing text into a more thiefy style for Goldwell to voice. He also helped with refining the trailer for the mission. Bikerdude (did the coal door for me and let me use his moonbeam method) and sorted the performance side of things out and thereby taught me how to do performance., grayman for providing a script to handle the drop key (Abuseinplea for fixing it from bouncing) and grayman for solving some conversation problems. EHR+
Changes 1.2 to 1.70
- Added a second way to get into the building
- Dining Room and Parlour doors now pickable, to make it bit less linear
- Electric Light in Lobby dropped it's luminosity from 240 to 220 Little bit darker.
- Door on the landing (catwalk) is now unlocked
- Spider no longer walks down to the ladder, or clips into the floor.
- Opened up the level more so you can choose more how you want to tackle it; except for family rooms (top of stairs)
- Fixed a graphical bug with the back stairs caused by TDM upgrading to 2.06
- Added some plants around bottom of garden wall alongside cart. I don't like seeing planes meeting. lol
- Made some changes to the fog in the garden.

What Is The Affluence Network White Papers
Thank you for visiting us in search for "What Is The Affluence Network White Papers" online.
It is definitely possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities regardless of market behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be ok.
It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital currency referred to as Bitcoin. There are distinct from common currency we know. It is because they are not controlled by any country or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a huge breakthrough in the means of exchange. Additionally, it brought tremendous remedies to the problems of identity theft online. Transactions go through several parties as a way of creating trust, but now it is possible to create trust through development of a complicated code by just one party.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of money with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very lucrative business models made available due to the growing use of blockchain technology.

You have probably noticed this many times where you frequently distribute the nice word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What goes on when the cost failures? " So far, many POS programs gives free conversion of fiat, relieving some matter, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people is likely to be resistant to keep any. We have to find a method to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Lots of people would rather use a currency deflation, especially those who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal seclusion, for instance, is great for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living pay check to pay check, it would take place included in your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can simply select to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they are doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
When searching on the web for what is The Affluence Network white papers, there are many things to think about.

Since among the oldest forms of making money is in money lending, it's a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you happen to be demanded fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a reasonable investment strategy.
This mining task validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're attempting to do something illegal, it is not recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever.
Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can easily be attained by just being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the quantity of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This situation isn't to suggest that markets aren't vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there exists no need for big sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest events on the planet market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they be a part of more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.

The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the protocol by which it is transacted. All exchanges over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. Once you're paid, you get paid. This is not anything short term where your web visitors can dispute or need a refunds, or employ dishonest sleight of palm. In-practice, many merchants will be smart to utilize a cost processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto-currency dealings, you need to make sure that stability is tricky. With any form of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might get access to your individual keys and so steal your money. However, you probably can never have it back. It is very important for you to adopt some great safe and sound techniques when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from most of these negative activities.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is nothing more than a representation of value, but there's no real tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their wealth will be managed.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers assert that there's "actual" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value increases due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some kind of wages to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which is among the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions resides.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible the regulators simply do not understand the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act.

I am one of those people that becomes so frustrated over what to wear for a date. Seriously! I rummage through my closet and proclaim that I have nothing to wear, even though I have 50 million pieces. It's so ridiculous but when I settle on that perfect outfit, I light up. The thing is that when you feel good, you look good. When you put on your pair of shoes, you can be confident. I know everyone has that favorite pair of shoes that makes them feel like they can tackle the world. Honestly, I believe it's that confidence that really channels how well the date could go. You feel positive, excited, and hopeful that this date is going to be really nice. However, this is after you've chosen the outfit, right? Well, how do you find an outfit that makes you feel like you can be confident?
Related: Why Dating Has Always Sucked
Let me tell you a story that I hope will entertain you. I can be incredibly self-conscious about how I look but I think most women go through this, whether they are in college or a post-grad woman. I remember this one particular date where I was just not satisfied with my outfit. Truthfully, I wasn't really confident and everything about each outfit I tried on did not work for me. Jeans? No. Tank top? No. Blazer? No. Everything seemed all so wrong. The thing is that when I'm not happy with my outfit, it really translates to my mood.
Related: How I Was Ghosted And How I Moved On
This particular date was a movie date, and although the guy was sweet, I couldn't relax. I was tugging at my shirt, constantly adjusting my seating position, so completely paranoid that I looked like an idiot. The truth is that I probably looked fine, but I didn't really have on an outfit that made me be confident.
So, how did this date go? Well, needless to say, I was totally not comfortable and I think it really showed. However, I did go on another date with this guy so it wasn't a total loss. What did I learn? I learned that it is important to look your best because at least when I don't, it definitely translates to my overall demeanor. So I want to give you 3 good fashion tips to help you be confident on your date.
Wear Something That Makes You Be Confident
Pick the clothes that you know you feel great in. You know what this means! Pick up your favorite outfit that you think is totally cute and will make you look and feel amazing. For me, I like to wear one of my favorite plaid skirts paired with my favorite grey booties. When I put on an outfit that has one or both of these things, I feel incredibly magical. It honestly is a confidence booster.
Don't Feel Like You Need Something New
I completely understand if you feel like you need to buy a new wardrobe as soon as possible. I've been there for that movie date because nothing was working for me. The thing is to take a breath, step back, and access the situation. Do you really have nothing to wear? The key here is to stay calm and don't immediately think you need to go on a shopping spree. Chances are that you have something that will have you feeling ready to be confident for your date in no time.
Dress Like Yourself
I am not a fan of changing yourself for a date. I don't think that's the way to go, but like any situation, you do want to dress for the occasion. That doesn't mean that you can't dress like yourself at all. I'm the type of person that 96% of the time you will find me in jeans and a blouse or a plain dress. However, if I am going on a dinner date, I may opt for something a bit on the dressy side. I want to show my personality through my clothes so I adjust my style to match the required style of the date.
Ultimately, the important takeaway here is what you wear on a date matters, but it doesn't matter for your date, it matters for you. Try these tips and I guarantee you will feel like you can tackle your next date with ease.
Question of the day: What's your favorite thing to wear on a date that makes you be confident?
I've shared mine now I want you to share yours! Let me know down in the comments what outfit item(s) make you feel like you can be confident for a date!

Quantifying Technology Costs of VPN Software
Businesses of all types utilize VPN software solutions to provide remote access to their employees. How do we quantify the true Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of supporting VPN software? Why is TCO Important?
Gartner, Inc. (www.gartner.com) defines TCO as the total cost of using and maintaining an IT investment over time. TCO calculations include a combination of direct costs (hardware, software acquisition, management and support) and indirect costs (end-user training and downtime). TCO is often overlooked and unbudgeted, presenting an incomplete projection of overall IT costs.
Most organizations look at their direct costs and setup labor only at the time of purchase. However, research shows that a system's software & hardware costs typically represents less than 20% of its TCO, with ongoing technical support, maintenance and labor costs accounting for the remaining 80%. These ongoing VPN Software support costs represent the largest piece of the TCO pie and should therefore warrant the highest levels of scrutiny.
Consider the following chart that demonstrates the potential annual costs of supporting VPN clients for 1000 Users:
Hardware/Software and Labor Support Direct Costs:
- Hardware & VPN Software Costs: A business of 1000 employees can expect to pay between $6000-$8000 for a dedicated VPN device with a hot spare + Annual Maintenance.
- VPN Software Setup Costs: For large enterprises VPN services can take up to 40 Hours for procurement, basic setup and deployment.
- Ongoing Maintenance: VPN Devices require continual updating and refinement – expect ongoing maintenance, after hours updating and security patching.
- User Support: Plan on providing technical support time to setup VPN Software on end user devices at a minimum of 30-60 Minutes per device with basic training for initial setup and an average of 15 Minutes/User per month for ongoing support.
- Two Factor: Add costs for supporting various two factor solutions – Some solutions allow use of third party services (at an additional cost), requiring additional configuration while others such as Microsoft VPN can utilize machine certificates which require additional support hours to manage and setup.
Potential Indirect Costs:
- Internal Systems open to potential compromise – By default, an end user's Windows network is routed through the office VPN network. As a result, this leaves the internal network open to Malware such as Crypto Locker and exposes the network up cyber security threats.
- IPsec type VPN's are blocked at many locations resulting in calls to the help desk to resolve connectivity issues and results in lost employee productivity.
- Minor network fluctuations can disconnect the VPN clients potentially corrupting open files resulting in support costs for restores and lost work.
- The IT Department will need to maintain an additional fleet of corporate laptops with VPN pre-configured for each potential remote user.
Browser Based VPN Alternatives
Techtarget.com encourages companies to consider Web Based VPN Software Alternatives – "Browser-based remote access services offer both cost and ease-of-use advantages. Web browsers are already present on nearly every computing device, public or private, large or small. Web-based solutions use this browser and dynamically downloaded code to avoid installing and configuring VPN client software on the worker's device. This approach facilitates remote access from just about anywhere and can significantly reduce per-user VPN administration costs. Savings are even greater for companies that eliminate corporate laptops by leveraging existing desktops for Web-based remote access."
MyWorkDrive.com's browser based file access software helps companies reduce their VPN support costs while reducing their security exposure risks. User's simply open a browser to access their work files using their existing Windows Active Directory credentials. Once logged in they can access company shares, home drives and edit/view documents online. For security all MyWorkDrive clients also support DUO Two Factor authentication. Even if only half of a company's employees are directed to use MyWorkDrive's Browser Based File Access client they can achieve annual savings of up to 50% while improving security.

Verry clever software backdoor — after hacking a server, the attackers replace the Apache httpd with a custom binary, changing nothing else on the system. All configuration is stored in memory, and configuration is sent to the backdoor via special obfuscated HTTP GET requests that don't make it to the normal logs.
In other words, the attackers make as few changes as possible… and then communicate via traffic that's as close to the proper behavior of the backdoor'ed software as possible.
Kind of like breaking no branches and packing out your trash when you go hiking — except in computer security terms.
Tripwire et al should still spot this, but FOSS Tripwire hasn't been updated in years. Anyone know what the generally accepted replacement is?
Kids teaching themselves: this is awesome. Drop off pallets of laptops at African village, explain nothing, and leave. Within five months otherwise illiterate kids have hacked the OS to restore intentionally disabled hardware features. Benefits of not being exposed to the Western (Prussian-designed explicitly to produce industrial workers) public school system?
"On cPanel-based servers, instead of adding modules or modifying the Apache configuration, the attackers started to replace the Apache binary (httpd) with a malicious one. This new backdoor is very sophisticated and we worked with our friends from ESET to provide this report on what we are seeing.[…]
A good and reliable way to identify the modified binary is by searching for "open_tty" on the httpd directory:
# grep -r open_tty /usr/local/apache/
If it finds open_tty in your Apache binary, it is likely compromised, since the original Apache binary does not contain a call to open_tty. Another interesting point is that if you try to just replace the bad binary with a good one, you will be denied, because they set the file attribute to immutable. So you have to run chattr -ai before replacing it:
# chattr -ai /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd […]
he backdoor leaves no traces on the hard drive of compromised hosts other than its modified httpd binary. All the information related to the backdoor is stored in shared memory, the configuration is pushed by the attacker through obfuscated HTTP requests that aren't logged in normal Apache logs. This means that no command and control information is stored anywhere on the system. ..
The HTTP server is equipped with a reverse connect backdoor that can be triggered via a special HTTP GET request. It is invoked when a request to a special path is done with a query string in a particular format, containing the hostname and port to connect. The client IP of the HTTP dialog is used as a key to decrypt the query string as a 4 byte XOR key. Additionally, IP specified in X-Real-IP or X-Forwarded-For headers will override the client IP as the XOR key. This means we can craft a X-Real-IP header that will in effect be a "\x00\x00\x00\x00" key… "

Browsing by LC Subject "Acadian flycatcher."
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Pugh, Lashale D.; Youngstown State University. Dept. of Biology. (2002)[more][less]
Abstract: Acadian Flycatchers (Empidonax virescens) at the Ravenna Training and Logistics Site in northeast Ohio were observed to detennine if prey choice affects reproductive success. Arthropods fed to nestlings by specialist pairs (n=3 nests) and generalist pairs (n=5 nests) were identified using videotaped feedings of 7, 8, 9 and 10 day old nestlings. Specialists were classified as adult pairs for which 50% or more of the prey fed to nestlings consisted of a particular order or arthropods. Prey quality was detennined by size, with each food item being classified as small (0 - 5 mm), medium (>5 - 10 mm), or large (> 10 mm). Nestlings were weighed at 10 days of age as a measure of reproductive success. For 4,727 feeding attempts, 1,715 (36%) prey were identified to order and 3,633 (77%) prey were sized. The predominant arthropods in the nestling diet were Dipterans (45%), Lepidopterans (21 %), Hymenoptera (8%) and Phalangida (7%). Specialists tended to feed young less often than generalists, yet there was no difference in average nestling weight between specialist nests and generalist nests. Specialists fed prey from 5 - 9 orders whereas generalists fed prey from 7 - 11 orders. Specialists fed more large prey to nestlings and generalists fed more small and medium prey to nestlings. Therefore, it appears that the quality of prey may be more important than the quantity of prey fed to nestlings. In addition, specialists tended to spend more time at the nest when feeding, which would be adaptive for nest defense. These results suggest that a benefit of being selective may be a reduced risk of predation at the nest. Description: viii, 71 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. URI: http://jupiter.ysu.edu/record=b1903663

With 2013 now half over Canada's Beat Syndrome have already added 20 titles to their discography. The now highly touted production duo continue to showcase their broad studio sound on some of the coolest underground imprints around. Productions for Sound Avenue, Movement, Crossfade Sounds, Agara and Balkan Connection combined with a European tour have certainly capped off a great first half of the year. With the second half of 2013 just about to begin we see Beat Syndrome back on top imprint Sound Avenue for a brand new single this week. Their newest studio production is entitled 'Tsunami' and it comes with remixes from Santiago Garcia, Silinder and Jelle Kuipers.
You never know quite what to expect from Beat Syndrome, their productions tend to vary from more club friendly tech house and deep house all way through to atmospheric and melodic progressive house. it's safe to say that no matter what they do they always exceed expectations and it's happened once again on 'Tsunami'. Starting off with a nice punchy kick and an ominous atmospheric backdrop 'Tsunami' grows into a stripped down melodic techno piece. The hypnotic energy that's generated with the soft washed out melodic accents is absolutely wonderful. The mesmerizing hooks continue to pull at your senses and you just get sucked in with Beat Syndrome's amazing groove. Certainly one of the duos most enchanting sounding records and it's one that will stick with us for a while.
The first interpretation comes from one of the Baires Records bosses Santiago Garcia who has quickly grown into one of Argentina's most exciting producers. Santiago continues to earn legions of fans and with his recent appearance on Hernan Cattaneo's Renaissance CD along with outings on Flow and Proton he shows no signs of slowing down. His production routinely earn support from John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J. Here Santiago makes his debut on Sound Avenue and delivers a top notch remix of 'Tsunami'. Built around a rough and incredibly funky groove Santiago's driving tech house style has never sounded better. Phasing vocal pads and a growing atmospheric break only add some great tension and make the funky groove sound that much more pronounced when to returns. The thing that makes the mix work so well is how the hypnotic elements from Beat Syndrome's original play off the funky bass stabs. Expect your whole dance floor to be moving in unison on this one!
The next two interpretations come from Silinder who prog house fans should be more than familiar with. Irish producer Gav Mulhall aka Silinder has been a mainstay on labels like Proton, Perspectives Digital and Baires over the last two years and his countless bootlegs remain on our regular office rotation. Gav's 'Day' interpretation of 'Tsunami' comes with a haunting, breaky intro that would be more than ideal to start a set with. The atmosphere is literally intoxicating and when combined with the hypnotic hooks from Beat Syndrome's original it's really an irresistible combination. Silinder's deep and lazy groove certainly casts an additionally druggy quality over the proceedings and the mesmerizing waves which flow through the main drop just enhance the ethereal environment that much more. As you would expect Silinder's 'Night' rework comes with quite a bit more dance floor vigor. A much more tightly constructed groove drives the piece while a bevy of metallic hits and grinding sweeps tantalize the senses as the hypnotic elements slowly work their way into the mix. Waves of bubbly electronics add an additional hypnotic texture that carries the track through to the main break. The track concludes with those undulating waves delivering more dance floor magic which ends up being our favourite version on the package.
The final remix on the package comes from Jelle Kuipers who is making his debut on Sound Avenue. The Dutch producer has been catching our attention of late with several amazing productions on Wide Angle Recordings. Jelle's contemporary electronica sound proves to be a great complement to the package and he's provided a great interpretation of 'Tsunami'. Glacial waves of ambient textures slowly build and as each atmospheric element gets added to the mix the more hauntingly beautiful it becomes. Cinematic and incredibly organic sounding it's mix you could listen to for hours and just get lost in your thoughts. The perfect close to an amazing release from Sound Avenue who continue to broaden their reach, just wait till you hear their Summer Sampler. Highly Recommended. Release Promo Hype Chart #2

2018 lamborghini aventador SV Roadster Release Date – In 2013, Hyundai introduced plans to start N Efficiency, a sub-brand name which will create performance-oriented types from the company's present items and handle its dedicated Community Rally Championship program. Three years have handed down since that point and the preliminary manufacturing design to wear the "N" badge continues to be seen testing on full open public streets. The larger performance model is dependent on the future generation i30 hatchback; that is also being prepared for the 2018 model year.
2018 lamborghini aventador SV Roadster Redesign
Not a great deal is officially identified regarding the Hyundai i30 N – a name also is not placed in natural stone – but correct information has arrived in the website just recently via documents and statements from people doing work with the Korean company. Succulent parts include the simple fact that it will most likely be offered by two tastes production-sensible, with a selection of two transmissions, and only a few race-bred chassis parts based upon individuals of the i20 WRC rally automobile. The overall performance-driven hatchback will good results the market at the end of 2016 and certainly will certainly contend as opposed currently to set up products such as the Volkswagen Golfing GTI and even Ford Focus Saint. Will this unique i30 N own what it requires taking buyers from the well-enjoyed manufacturers? We shall not learn till it can make its recognized initially look, but in the meantime, let's possess a nearer look at whatever we understand relating to this.
The i30 N prototype will be totally a part of camouflaging and, considering that the typical hatchback has but to get uncovered, the real design of the car is a tad of any key. On the other hand, perform realize that the approaching Gen i30's design and style depend on the company's present configuration words (noticed on the Genesis Genesis ). Hence we foresee it to feature a larger hexagonal grille between well-toned headlamps, a sportier entrance bumper, as well as a formed hood. It will also most likely be broader and for a longer time also, with the in . or two contained in the wheelbase.Because we have now no clue the way the i30 will modify around the within for the arriving period, the i30 N's inside is surely an even larger top secret. Nevertheless, we foresee the average to include a much more trendy design overall, a much more high end looking dash panel, and a significantly cleaner midsection games console. Technological needs to include updated kinds of the brand's food selection method with High meaning stereo system and Siri, Light Blue Website link program with remote start off, weather conditions control, and location looks up.
2018 lamborghini aventador SV Roadster Engine
Reasoning dictates which a beefed-up edition of the turbocharged, 2.-liter four-tube obtainable in the size-topping i30 additionally United States- specification Elantra GT model will lurk beneath the hood. The motor in the existing product cranks out 173 hp and undoubtedly will probably generate some 190 horses within the adhering to-gen hatchback. The brand new internals developed mostly for your N-sort, nevertheless, should take productivity past the 200-hp brand. The record has it since the i30 N will probably be offered in two preferences. The base model will manage to benefit from 240 horses, although the most expensive version will come with 260 Hewlett-Packard in touch. If these numbers prove to be correct, every product can provide far more oomph than the Volkswagen Golfing GTi – ranked at 230 hp – but torque creation can start to play a crucial function from the GTi's stout 270 lb-feet.
2018 lamborghini aventador SV Roadster Price and Release Date
It is far too, in the beginning, to go over rates since the regular next-gen i30 is not out, however, but we can have a few guesses. With all the existing i30 highly valued from £12,995 (about $16,850), the following-gen hatchback could retail store from about £14,500 (related to $18,820). This shows that the i30 N will likely retrieve excessively of £20,000. Customers could wind up shelling out just as much as £22,000 (around $28,540) before alternatives, but that's considerably less than what Volkswagen honestly asks to get a Golfing GTI.

McIlroy struggles to opening 74 at The Barclays
Rory McIlroy showed he's human after all as he struggled to a three-over 74 in opening round of The Barclays at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey.
Leading the FedEx Cup point and keen to win the series and the $10m bonus, it was his first round over par since he shot 73 in the final round of the US Open in June, bringing to an end a run of eight straight rounds in the 60s.
"I just wasn't very good," McIlroy said after his round, admitting that taking a week off to celebrate his amazing run of victories was the reason he would end the day nine strokes behind leader Bo Van Pelt (65).
"Fatigue isn't playing a part," he told AP. "It's I think just not putting the time in that I probably should have over the past week. And I think I allowed myself that and deserved that. But this is the consequence of it and I need to work hard this afternoon and go out tomorrow and shoot a good number."
The world No 1, who is bidding for a four successive victory following wins in The Open, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the US PGA, repaired some of the damage when he rolled home a 32 footer for birdie at the 440-yard ninth, his final hole.
But having become the third youngest player in the history of the game to win four majors, he reckoned he deserved a few days off to celebrate.
"I wanted to enjoy it for a week," he said.
As for his 74, he said: "It's not a bad thing. A score like this would be tougher to take if I had not just come off the weeks that I had.
"But at the same time, I want to play well and I want to give myself chances to win tournaments.
"I'll need to get off to a good start tomorrow to try and do that. There's chances on this golf course to make birdies. I feel like I can do that."
It was still a surprising start to the week for the 25-year old, who struggled from the moment he short sided himself and double bogeyed the par-four 12th (his third hole) by taking four to get down from the right greenside trap.
He then bogeyed the par-five 13th when he found sand off the tee and his third to go three over after four holes.
Forced to lay up after a pulled drive at the par-five 17th, he could only make par there and then bogeyed the 18th, taking three to get down from 25 yards after missing the fairway right.
Out in 40, he came home in one under despite failing to birdie the par-five third, where he again missed the fairway.
He didn't make his first birdie of the day until his 14th hole — the 291-yard, driveable fifth — where he chipped to six feet.
But after saving par from eight feet at the seventh, he bogeyed the 217 yard eighth where he pulled his tee shot into the rough and then missed a four footer for par before picking up that birdie at the last.
His 74 left him nine strokes behind Van Pelt, who leads by one from Cameron Tringale, Hunter Mahan and Charles Howell III.
With just two weeks of the Ryder Cup campaign remaining for the Europeans and Graeme McDowell playing his last event before his wife gives birth to their daughter next week, there is much at stake for the Europeans.
McDowell holds down the last of nine automatic spots in the European team but by a slim margin from Luke Donald (71).
Lee Westwood, who needs a big week to force his way into the side or risk needing a wildcard, also shot 70 while Ian Poulter was disappointed with a 72 as he bids to pursuade Paul McGinley that he's worthy of a wildcard.
The nine automatic qualifiers for the US have already been decided but Mahan did his wildard hopes no harm with a 66.
"It will be a bonus to make it to Atlanta and it will be a bonus right now to make the Ryder Cup team," Mahan said. "So I have nothing to be nervous about or get out there and doubt myself. I have to trust myself because everything I'm doing is good and everything else will kind of take care of itself."

'India, China boundary issue requires negotiations'
India has built mechanisms to keep the border with China peaceful and hard negotiations are required to settle the boundary issue between the two neighbours, National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon said in New Delhi on Saturday.india Updated: Dec 22, 2013 00:57 IST
Hindustan Times
India has built mechanisms to keep the border with China peaceful and hard negotiations are required to settle the boundary issue between the two neighbours, National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon said in New Delhi on Saturday.
"We have built mechanisms to keep peace on the border. On the settlement of the boundary issue, we are trying various ways. It needs hard negotiations," Menon, who is also the country's special representatives for the India-China boundary talks, said.
"We had decided to separate the boundary issue with bilateral relations between India and China," Menon pointed out.
He was taking part in a panel discussion on "India-China Ties: 25 Years After Deng-Rajiv Talks" organised by the Nehru Memorial Library and Centre for Policy Research.
Terming former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's visit to China in 1988 as historic, Menon said "it was a brave and realistic decision." He also called for making the ties mass-based, promoting people to people ties.
Former Indian ambassador to the US and Russia, Ronen Sen recounted that "Rajiv Gandhi was determined to go to Beijing despite opposition from within the Congress party."
"The Congress had over 400 MPs in Lok Sabha, so there was little opposition to the move outside. But there was opposition within the Congress," he recalled.
The former envoy said Rajiv Gandhi's decision to visit Beijing was "not a hasty one and a lot of preparations, in terms of back channel discussions," had gone into it. Sen said peace on the India-China border is of paramount importance.
"There was an unparalleled preparation behind the visit. The opening up was the result of a long drawn out policy," rural development minister Jairam Ramesh, who chaired the discussion, said. Ramesh, said there is a "political continuity" in India's foreign policy on China.
The NDA government 1998-2004, under former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, took the ties forward as well.
Former bureaucrat CR Gharekhan, who worked with late prime minister Indira Gandhi, said the "process of normalising relations with China had begun during her rule."

National & World Ag News Headlines
AFBF: New Regulations Must Protect Farmland & Wetland
USAgNet - 02/07/2019
As the Agriculture Department moves forward with Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation regulations, the department must ensure its new Interim Rule balances the benefits for both farmland and wetland, as Congress intended, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
As it was written, the Interim Rule makes program participation much more difficult and fails to give famers the opportunity they should have to participate in the process.
"Because conservation compliance programs operate fundamentally as regulatory programs they should operate with all the duties and rights that such a regulatory program entails. Equally important, all guidance, policy and interim rules must match up with the statute," Farm Bureau wrote in comments submitted to USDA on Tuesday.
For too long USDA had been making regulatory determinations based primarily on guidance and policy that was not put through the required public process-an error that Farm Bureau said permeates the wetland identification and appeals processes. "USDA holds all the cards, leaving farmers without the necessary tools to protect their property and due process rights," the group wrote.
In keeping with the statute, USDA must recognize that prior-converted cropland is not only not farmed wetland, it is no longer wetland and should never be treated as wetland under the Food Security Act or any rule implementing the Food Security Act.
Also at odds with the law is the department's newly added discretion in determining that a decades-old map is of insufficient quality to uphold a certified determination.
"Determinations certified prior to USDA's adoption of new mapping conventions should be exempt from invalidation due to changes that only new imaging technology can detect. To that end, USDA's regulations should expressly recognize that pre-1990 certifications are valid unless the producer raises the issue that they were never provided with appeal rights after passage of the 1990 farm bill (and thus, were not able to appeal the determination to become certified)," Farm Bureau said.
In the Interim Rule USDA has added several terms and definitions that expand the farmland wetland category by making it easier for USDA to designate land as a farmed wetland. This substantively changes what land qualifies as prior-converted cropland or commenced-conversion wetlands under the statutory exemptions, which is harmful to farmers who have relied on prior interpretations.
The group also took issue with USDA's failure to implement the minimal effect exemption provisions as lawmakers directed. "Congress exempted farmers from ineligibility if the impacts of the wetland conversion were minimal to the wetlands in the area," the group noted.

Arthritis and water exercise
- Topic: Health | Recreation
Key Message
The health benefits of exercising in water include: Increased muscle strength, enhanced sense of wellbeing, mood and sleep quality, decreased fear of general exercise, Improved oxygen intake, improved flexibility, reduction in body fat, and no exercise related injuries.
Better Health Channel. (2009) Arthritis and water exercise. Fact Sheet. Melbourne, Australia: Author.
Arthritis is a general term describing over 100 different conditions that cause pain, stiffness and often inflammation in one or more joints. Regular gentle exercise can improve an arthritic joint by nourishing the cartilage and easing stiffness.
Warm water exercise (hydrotherapy) is particularly helpful, because your body weight is supported and the resistance of moving through water boosts muscle strength and endurance. Activities such as stretching or walking through water can exercise the joints without putting them under strain.
The benefits of warm water exercise
A Japanese study published in 2002 found that water exercise improved the health of elderly participants. In this study, women between the ages of 60 and 75 years were divided into two groups. One group participated in water exercise for 12 weeks, while the other didn't.
The health benefits highlighted in the study for those who exercised in water included:
• Increased muscle strength
• Enhanced sense of wellbeing, mood and sleep quality
• Decreased fear of general exercise
• Improved oxygen intake
• Greater flexibility
• Loss of excess body fat
• Increased agility
• No exercise-related injuries.
There is a wide range of warm water exercises to choose from, including:
• Arthritis Victoria warm water exercise program – offers classes each week in various Melbourne metropolitan locations. The program is specifically designed for people with arthritis.
• Hydrotherapy – a type of exercise therapy offered by physiotherapists. Classes may offer group sessions or one-on-one training. The water for hydrotherapy sessions is usually heated to around 34°C.
• Gentle water exercise – some fitness or recreation centres offer gentle water exercise programs for people who are elderly, disabled or unfit.
• Gentle aquarobics – some fitness or recreation centres offer water exercise classes that aim to improve general fitness. Because aquarobics exercises can be more vigorous than hydrotherapy, the water is usually heated to around 28°C.

Submitted by Santa Clara Vanguard: March 6, 2007 marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of the Santa Clara Vanguard. It was following a meeting of the Sparks Parents Association where the disbanding of the drum and bugle corps was voted on. Santa Clara Vanguard founder Gail Royer and several parents who were there to support the drum and bugle corps activity of the Sparks, walked out of the meeting and asked the waiting members if they wanted to have their own corps. With a resounding yes by the members, those parents opened their own meeting and agreed to form a new organization. The following Wednesday evening, which was the next scheduled rehearsal; the members met and were given the chance to name their corps. The rest is history. Every year since, a birthday celebration has been held by the corps started as a pot luck dinner. Today, the corps celebrates every March with a spaghetti dinner which also marks the first public performance by the corps. This year the dinner is being held on March 25. The Vanguard, Vanguard Cadets and the alumni corps will perform at the dinner. Learn more about the Vanguard annual birthday dinner on www.scvanguard.org.
The minutes of the first booster meeting hang on a wall at the

The retail distribution review is forcing a lot of financial advisers to re-evaluate the very fundamentals of their businesses but lifestyle financial planner Paul Armson says he has always been RDR-ready.
Armson is chief executive of new venture Alternative Financial Advisers, a marketing and training group to help IFAs become lifestyle financial planners.
He says: "Alternative is about promoting the fact that your advice should not be about money, it should be about the client – the money is just a means to an end, so the service and the fact find should be about getting to know your client, finding out what they want to achieve and then help them work out how to achieve that. That is lifestyle financial planning."
Armson started his professional life as an apprentice carpenter, reaching the heights of Apprentice of the Year 1976, but it was the lure of fiscal rewards that led him into financial services.
"I did not know what an IFA was, I thought I was just going for a job at a firm that helped people plan for their future, helped people become financially independent and helped people retire early. I thought everyone would want that service and I fell for their proposition."
He began training as a financial adviser and right away he saw his role differently from his colleagues.
"Right from the start it was not about selling – I honestly thought my job was helping people get what they wanted. Even in the same firm, we had advisers who would sell their clients the bare minimum pension investment and they would just take that. To me, that made no sense, it is not going to help anyone."
Armson quickly realised that the best way to sell people his service and products was to sell people their desires. Although he did not know it, he was already approaching the job from the perspective of a lifestyle financial planner. "Everyone has a grand idea. The definition of a financial planner, in my head, was to show the client what that grand idea is and then help them work out how to get that. This approach helped me excel."
But Armson did not know he was lifestyle financial planning explicitly until he met Paul Etheridge, founder of the Prestwood Group.
"When I came across Paul's message, it was the missing piece in my jigsaw. When I began to use his software, my business levels rocketed but, more important, I was able to show my clients where they were heading and what their future was about."
At Alternative, Armson uses marketing seminars and training days to teach IFAs his lifestyle planning proposition that is split into three stages.
"The first stage is life planning – finding out what they want to achieve in their lifetime. It is a fact-find about the client and should be the most important part of our job. Stage two is financial planning – when you show the client what all the facts mean and where they currently stand. Only then, if the client needs a financial product implemented, you go to the third stage of independent financial advice."
He continued to practise as an independent lifestyle financial planner for 23 years until he realised his own dream.
"If you are talking about planning lifestyles you should have planned your own lifestyle, so my intention was to retire early and at 45 I bought a yacht and decided to work part-time."
But while on a sailing trip, a client convinced him that he should try to encourage more IFAs to practise lifestyle financial planning, so he went to Prestwood in 2007 and helped them develop Truth software, a programme that works alongside the lifestyle process.
From 2007 until this year, he has worked as a marketing consultant for Prestwood, helping to market the software he helped develop.
But after three years, Armson wanted to get involved with the promotion of lifestyle financial planning.
"The problem is the public does not know advisers can do this, they think we can only sell product because that is all we have done in the past through commission. Alternative members do not do that. They implement product certainly, but they sell the client on the need to take financial planning seriously, on a fee basis."
Armson firmly believes it is this "backward" advice process that sets lifestyle financial planners out from the crowd and makes them most likely to succeed after the RDR in 2012.
"Most IFAs spend all their time in the third part of the advice process, selling product, but the client only appreciates the first two parts of the job.
"It is those parts that should be paid for, whether a product is implemented or not. The whole point of the RDR is that it will give advisers the freedom to focus on a service that is worth paying for and it justifies why they are getting paid."
Armson passionately believes that lifestyle financial planning is the way forward for all financial advisers.
"IFA value is creating a meaningful relationship with your client to understand where they are heading in their lives. It needs to be the adviser doing that because they cannot do it themselves. That is where we add most value, and that is why you should be paid independent of a product sale."

On Friday night, Ashley and I zoomed across the lake and hit up the PEPS Appreciation Party at FareStart Restaurant in Westlake, Seattle.
the Program for Early Parent Support (PEPS) is a friendly organization in Seattle that helps parents connect with other parents in their neighborhood so they can have a support network and make friends!! the Happy Film Company has been working with PEPS since May 2014 and we love all of the families we meet through PEPS — they're all passionate about family and we love sharing our passion for family photos with them!
I'm soo grateful that Ashley and I can do these things together because walking into a crowded room is so intimidating. Jasmine Star, an awesome wedding photographer in California, gave me the most obvious yet genius advice for networking events.... walk straight up to any group and say 'Hi, Can I join you guys?'. BOOM! Just like that, you're in. Thank you Jasmine!
So on Friday, we joined a group of women who were from EvoFit fitness in West Seattle. They got us so inspired about finding new hidden gems around the city for photo shoot locations. I love hearing directly from parents - what do you guys want? Give us feedback and we'll make it happen! These ladies wanted something unique, something they'd never seen before. We have all of our favorite spots for family photos but after this conversation, we're so pumped up for adventure & location scouting! Keep your eyes peeled for fresh creativity coming your way this summer! Woohoo! Thank you EvoFit ladies for the fresh ideas and business advice!! We can't wait to photograph your families soon :D
