Session Buzz: Who's Recording In & Around NYC — A Monthly Report
April 21, 2011 by Janice Brown
GREATER NYC AREA: Both through the grapevine and straight from the source(s), we've been hearing about a number of different recording projects going on in studios throughout the NYC area. The following is but a sampling of recent sessions, and works in progress…a snapshot of what's going on around town:
Germano Studios has been going non-stop in 2011, between multiple months of lock-out sessions with Lady Gaga, and sessions with a host of other major artists.
Gaga and crew have been working out of both Germano Studio 1 and Studio 2, recording and mixing her upcoming album, Born This Way – due out May 23 – and the title track lead single, released in February.
Also – as previously reported – T-Pain was also at Germano Studios, recording vocals in Studio 2 with Levar "LV" Coppin producing and Javier Valverde engineering. And producer Steve Jordan and engineer Dave O'Donnell were in tracking basics with Kelly Clarkson and writing/recording with Keith Richards.
Meanwhile in the Brill Building, KMA Music has been going strong, with Beyoncé locked out Studios A and B for writing, recording and mixing sessions for her new album with an array of producers – The-Dream, Switch, Robert "Shea" Taylor, Jeff Bhasker – and engineers, including Swivel, Pat Thrall, Serge Nudel. Mya also booked out KMA for tracking and mixing sessions with producer Chuck Harmony and engineer Ben Chang. And Joe Jonas tracked and mixed material for his new solo project with Danja producing and Marcella Araica engineering. Lil Wayne was at KMA for a late-night vocal session as well.
In Brooklyn, producer/engineer Tim O'Heir has been holed up in his "Golden Ear" studio in the Music Garage in Williamsburg mixing the upcoming Austin TV double album epic. Austin TV, according to O'Heir, is "an instrumental group from Mexico City who compare themselves to Mogwai but with more 'theatre.'
"The tracks were produced by Meme from Cafe Tacuba in Mexico and they FTP'd the Pro Tools sessions to me here in NY. It's been a trip as these pieces are 100% math rock. The trick for them, and myself, was to get them as musical sounding as possible. (I think that was accomplished.)
The tracks were mixed in the box, summed through a Dangerous D-Box. Waves and Sound Toys as well as a few Digi plug-ins brought the whole thing to life."
Nearby at The Bunker in East Williamsburg, Aaron Nevezie tracked and mixed the debut album by the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra. This is an 11-piece traditional salsa band tracked live, playing fresh arrangements of indie-rock songs by LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire, Spoon and more. Nevezie also produced new releases for local Brooklyn bands Des Roar, and Crinkles, and mixed Peoples Champs.
The Bunker is also excited to have added a 1969 Steinway M grand piano and a new pair of vintage RCA ribbon mics to the studio.
And down in the financial district, Engine Room Audio has been popping with projects up in its SSL 4064G+ equipped penthouse tracking/mixing room, including G-Unit's Tony Yayo and Waka Flocka tracking a new single with engineer Drew Fisher. Sean Kingston and Trav also mixed a new single at Engine Room, with engineer Sam Jacquet. Indie rock band Lowry just wrapped mixing on their new full-length album for Engine Room Recordings, with Mark Christensen producing and Fisher engineering. And "indie-pop-on-Mozart quintet" Wakey! Wakey! has been in recording for an upcoming Engine Room Recordings compilation.
Down in his mastering suite, Christensen's been working on a new OK Go! live album, mixed by Dave Fridmann, as well as a new album by The Color Bars. Christensen also recently mastered the new Ryan Leslie single, "Glory," and a new record by Cheryl Englehard.
Inside another popular NYC mastering haunt, The Lodge, mastering engineers Emily Lazar, Joe LaPorta, Sarah Register, and Heba Kadry have been busy with releases by Serg Tankian and Shirley Manson, Against Me!, The Naked and Famous, and Chris Taylor's newest production work on Blood Orange's upcoming 7″. (Lazar and LaPorta also mastered Foo Fighters' Wasting Light!)
Other albums recently mastered by The Lodge crew: Tune-yards' w h o k i l l, Fucked Up's David Comes To Life, Ford & Lopatin's Channel Pressure, Cold Cave's Cherish The Light Years, EMA's Past Life Martyred Saints, Liturgy, Xray Eyeballs, Eternal Tapestry/Sun Araw, White Hills and more.
Back uptown at Area 51 NYC… singer Vita Chambers was working on a new release for Universal Motown with producers CJ, Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, and Henry "Skem" Kaprali engineering, assisted by John Lurie. Also for Universal Motown, Gail Scott was in session working with producer Kenneth "Soundz" Coby and Michelle Figueroa engineering. French house DJ/producer David Guetta was at Area 51 co-producing new material with CJ, and engineer Dan Smith, for Guetta's own Gum Productions.
Area 51 also installed new Augspurger mains in the North Room. Says Area 51 co-owner/manager Tony Drootin: "We purchased the dual 15" cabinets and subs that used to reside in Studio D at Sony Studios. We replaced all the components, added a new crossover, and tweaked the system to our room." He also reports that Area 51 is now configured for drum tracking out of the South Room, and has added some new mics and outboard gear to its arsenal.
Nearby at Avatar Studios, the city's most famous "Studio A" hosted… a duet by Tony Bennett and Sheryl Crow, produced by Phil Ramone, and engineered by Dae Bennett; Elvis Costello recording a song for an upcoming film with engineer Kevin Killen; and James McCartney recording new material with David Kahne producing and Roy Hendrickson engineering. Meanwhile in Studio C, Steve Reich / So Percussion recorded with producer Judith Sherman and engineer John Kilgore.
At Threshold Recording Studios NYC… singer/songwriter Alana Kessler worked on her new single "The Best Thing" with producer/engineer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Sklarsky; composer / PBS producer Tim Janis prepared for his upcoming annual Christmas show at Carnegie Hall with Alexa Ray Joel; and Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke was back as part of the Road Recovery Performance Workshops Program.
And finally, Stratosphere Sound hosted New Jersey indie rockers The Static Jacks for a month, recording their debut full-length in Studio A with producer/engineer Chris Shaw. R&B legend Aaron Neville also recorded vocals at Stratosphere recently with Geoff Sanoff in Studio A.
And Amanda Ghost, producer Dave McCracken and engineer Andros Rodriguez – long-term clients in Studio B – have been working with female rapper KFlay, singers Sky Ferreira and Murray James, as well as John Legend.
And we know there's so much more going on out there! If you'd like to be featured in "Session Buzz," please submit your studio news to email@example.com.

Engine Room Opens Penthouse Studio In New, Expansive Financial District Facility
September 2, 2010 by Janice Brown
LOWER MANHATTAN: In all incarnations, including its latest, Mark Christensen's Engine Room Audio has run ahead of the curve, taking risks to provide the local artist and producer/engineer community with something it really needs. Back in '03, Christensen opened a multi-room production and mastering facility on Canal Street, making high-quality, acoustically designed rooms available for long-term lease to producer/engineers, songwriting teams, composers, etc. There was an immediate waiting list.
Now, with the opening of a brand-new, large-format tracking and mixing studio located in the penthouse of its year-old, 11,000-square-foot financial district facility, Engine Room again goes out on a limb and the result is again huge for the community.
At its core, Engine Room is a DIY-inspired enterprise, and this latest move sees Christensen, a Grammy-winning engineer, producer and songwriter, realizing a nascent vision.
"When I started the first Engine Room Audio, I was technically still signed [to a record deal] and owed the label another album, but I'd gotten so fed up with everyone telling me what to do; I really wanted to be able to do my own thing," Christensen recalls.
"I wanted to build a facility where I could record, mix, master and even manufacture and release my own records without being forced to do anything I didn't want to. And ultimately I wanted to be able to offer that to other artists."
He started with a home studio, moving a Trident board and CD manufacturing facilities into his East Village apartment, and quickly found a lot of clients in like-minded NYC artists. Christensen built a name for himself as a mastering engineer and expanded his business with the WSDG-designed modular facility on Canal Street.
Yet with all of his production rooms always leased out, and a new record label — Engine Room Recordings — beginning to get some traction, Christensen longed for a full-blown studio where he and his growing community could produce and mix albums at the highest level.
This spurred another move all the way downtown to 42 Broadway, where he took over the entire top floor and penthouse and began his most ambitious build-out to date. The new location is home to Engine Room Audio and Engine Room Recordings, encompassing eight production suites, Christensen's mastering facility, and the big penthouse studio as the cherry on top.
"If we were going to have a nice space, then I wanted it to have all of those things that a really nice studio should have," says Christensen of the penthouse, "including a tuned control room with nice big far-field monitors as well as the nearfields so you can tell what's going on in the sub frequencies. I wanted to build as pro a studio as we could."
In all, EngineRoom's sprawling facility incorporates nine control rooms, including seven in long-term lease situations housing the likes of producer/engineers Bill Racine, Paul Falcone, DJ Cassidy and J. Chris Griffin among others. The eighth studio houses some of Christensen's gear — including Pro Tools HD and an Amek console — and is setup for tracking and mixing sessions. The rooms are all big enough to comfortably house a mid-sized console and everyone has their own booth.
Every control room is also tie-lined into the new two-story live room up in the penthouse — a large, full-band tracking room with two large isolation booths. A third iso booth is located off the corresponding control room, which features an SSL 4064 G+ console, Dynaudio M4 main monitors, stacked producer's desk and spacious listening area.
It's the studio he's always wanted to build — a deluxe A room with ample space maximized by sightlines and natural light. From the control room, Christensen points to the outdoor surface area, soon to be a roof deck. We're on the 22nd Floor and it's a sweet view.
"These rooms are all floated and it's all triple-rock, ¾" plate glass everywhere," says Christensen. "The isolation is hard-core. We wanted to have good sightlines and natural light everywhere, but we didn't want to have too much glass, so that was a big challenge Chris Bowman solved in the design."
A longtime friend and colleague of Christensen's, Bowman and his CHBO, Inc. have contracted and built many a studio in the NYC area, including the Canal Street Engine Room and the Fran Manzella-designed Sterling Sound. "I've absorbed as much as I could from him over the years, so that now we can work together really well, with Chris focused on the layout and look and me on the acoustics from a mathematical perspective," says Christensen of their collaboration on the penthouse studio.
"The construction of the control room relative to the live room is such that — in theory — we can do two sessions up here simultaneously. We're going to add shutters to the windows between the two rooms, so if someone's doing a mix in the control room, or vocals in the booth, someone else could be tracking out in the live room, recording down to one of the production rooms.
"Obviously we won't do this with, say, John Williams and the Ramones, but if people are somewhat cooperative, it seems like it will really work. A drummer can be pounding away in the live room and you don't hear it at all in here."
The SSL 4000 Series console, which Christensen points out "is the model that's historically, mixed more hits than all other consoles combined, ever," comes to The Engine Room from The Franklin House in Nashville.
"We're only the second owners," Christensen notes. "Still, any vintage console needs work. My head tech Pawel Szarejko shares my insanity when it comes to electronics and — even though this console was in way better shape when it came through the door than other consoles I've worked on around town recently — we've begun recapping the entire thing. It already sounds great, but will be awesome when we're done with it!"
Engine Room is far from a build-it-and-they-will-come dream studio. Good thing, too, as the timing of all this building couldn't have been much worse. "October '08 practically put us out of business," Christensen admits. "We lost all of our construction financing with the economy crashing, and then that was compounded by the typical problems you face building a facility like this — a lot of the construction estimates were miles off the mark."
Built for an already ailing industry, however, the business plan for the space was solid. In addition to the tenant control rooms, Christensen also built out the rest of the floor, with his other company Space Initiatives, to eventually house additional tenants whose studios could also tie into (and therefore subsidize) the penthouse. NYC's Dubway Studios took him up on this arrangement.
"Dubway will have their production facilities downstairs, including three decent size studios with booths, and they've effectively bought 25% of the monthly studio time in the penthouse," Christensen explains. "I've known Mike [Crehore] and Al [Houghton] for a long time; it's a great fit."
When we visited Engine Room in August, Dubway had just begun renovations on their new facility in this space, and will be moving down from 26th Street. With Dubway moving in, the facility will be home to that many more of NYC's top-level music production talent. This is just the kind of world Christensen's been working to create all along.
"One of the coolest aspects of Engine Room is the huge community," he acknowledges. "We all talk about bands, production techniques, we borrow microphones from each other, etc. It's an amalgamation of all these cool people, creating this community where cool things are happening. It gets back to my original impetus for starting the Engine Room, it's not like I was trying to escape the music industry and do everything myself, alone, it was more that I was trying to reinvent it, recreate it in some way."
Engine Room Recordings, the record label Christensen founded with singer/songwriter Peter Block, is another sign that he's no longer "trying," he is reinventing, recreating.
Counted on the Engine Room Recordings roster are several NYC-based artists including Tracy Bonham, Jody Porter (of Fountains of Wayne), The Bloodsugars, Porter Block, Robbers On High Street and Luke Wesley.
On the day of our visit, the Brooklyn-based folk-rock band Lowry was in the studio working on a new album for Engine Room Recordings. "Lowry's last record sounds good, but they've never had the opportunity to record in a facility like this," says Christensen. "We're doing this for the love of the music and since we can handle every aspect of it in-house, we're able to take the time to make a really great record."
Now that he has his proper studio, Christensen is also finding time to produce, as on dance-pop duo Hank and Cupcakes' latest EP. Though he's got golden ears and plenty of mastering clients, Christensen is still that rock-and-roll singer/songwriter looking to give a band what he was always looking for as an artist.
"When I produce, I'm all about the songs," he assures. "If you have great songs and great singers, you can record a great album on a cassette player from Kmart. I am pretty specific about the sound as well — the fidelity — but not in some weird, audiophile kind of way. I just want the record to have a sound. Like Bon Iver's [For Emma, Forever Ago] — that record sounded amazing even though it was clearly not recorded at some expensive studio. It's not about having a million-dollar sound, the music just has to be present somehow.
"I try to make all of that effortless to the band though — they should be concentrating on creating art and energy. When you have great gear and a great room, that stuff becomes a lot easier to capture.
"As a mastering engineer, I've really come to understand how important the sound of the room that you're both listening and tracking in is — it's just such a massive part of what you do. If I had the choice between the most expensive mics in the world in a crappy room or crappy mics in a great room, I'd definitely choose the room every time.
"So that was part of my motivation for making as good a studio as we could upstairs, so we could actually tell what's happening in the kick drum, for example. I can't tell you how many records I've mastered even for major labels where the whole thing was tracked and mixed on nearfields and they had no idea what was going on below 70 Hz. And there's all kinds of stuff down there that's really coloring it. To some extent you can save that in mastering, but it makes more sense to actually be able to hear what the kick drum is doing while you're tracking."
Engine Room's new studio is open for business, and has already hosted OK Go, Ryan Leslie, Trey Songz, Raekwon and several others. Get in touch via http://engineroomaudio.com/contact.

CAD Management & CAD Standards
If I solve a particular problem, I'll post it here. Otherwise, as I read through various newsletters that I receive or web sites that I frequent, I'll be inspired to pass something along. That's what's happened with most of the posts here to date.
Today's topic is my number one soap box topic - CAD Standards.
Like most CAD Managers, I found myself in that position with my former company, Jones & Frank Corporation; quite accidentally. Most users I talk to will say that no one is appointed or hired as a CAD Manager, but generally speaking one individual is considered the CAD Manager. The term doesn't equate with a larger paycheck, just more responsibility.
Probably the best authority in the country on CAD Management (at all levels) is Robert Green. He has authored articles, teaches classes, and speaks about CAD Management. You can find many of his writings at http://management.cadalyst.com/cadman/author/authorInfo.jsp?id=6743.
One of the most important lessons I noted from his recent article this week is that companies need to keep our time billable with the least amount of overhead. That is why you don't see dedicated CAD Managers. You see users acting as CAD Managers.
We all need to find ways to become more efficient at what we do. This also will help prevent our CAD jobs being outsourced. Good CAD Standards will help that as will not being afraid to change how we work. Being an old stick in the mud will get you nowhere.
I'll keep this brief before I get into a long drawn out rambling about CAD Standards. Short and sweet!

Though you might be interested in the goings on at one of the Big Three's AME group.
We are in desire need of a 'Real CAD Administer'. The last one knew something about networking, and script coding. But we already have an IT group. He did learn AutoCAD fast. But he never put anything into place. All we ever got was a blank install. No customization, no menus, not even a place on the sever to put anything.
That is what we get when trying to cut cost.

Hi, I run a well-known CAD drafting service provider in India, The Magnum Group. Many US companies outsource their CAD work to us.
You've said, "We all need to find ways to become more efficient at what we do. This also will help prevent our CAD jobs being outsourced."
Companies like mine are very efficient (with low overheads). The fact is, the main benefit (not the only one) in outsourcing to India is the savings in hourly labor rates.
Labor rates are low here because until recently supply outstripped demand by a country mile. But that's slowly changing: skilled CAD draftsmen are becoming increasingly expensive because of a drastic climb in demand.
Five years down the road the wage differential with the US might have become minimal, and at that time the competitive elements will be, amongst other things, effieciencies in various spheres (operations, finance, human resource development and customer loyalty, to name a few).
Let me know if you want further insider perspective on the Indian CAD scene, Beth

Turn On or Turn Off? I-Log iPad Stand
Got some spare logs just sitting around and own an iPad? You might want to get chopping and wood working and you can DIY your own version of this amusing iPad dock from Twisted Twee, unremarkably called the I-Log. This could be cute if you live in a log cabin, but we're not so sure about paying $60 for something you can make yourself with a little extra time and woodworking tools. What do you think?
6 Comments
worst ipad stand ever
instead of logging-on to your computer, your computer on-logs.
I almost like this, but only because for some reason it makes me think of the Log Lady on Twin Peaks...
No, no, no.
$60... Let me repeat that. $60. Really? For half a log. Really?
Soooo uglyl.

May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. In an effort to encourage safe riding this summer, the Wis. Dept. of Transportation, along with State Patrol, invited motorcycle owners to take part in a safety crash course at the Rock Co. fair grounds in Janesville.
"We want everyone who goes for a ride to come home safe," said Curtis Pierce, with the Goldwing Road Riders Association of Wis. The motorcycle organization is hosting its 18th annual "Tirekicking" in conjunction with the safety day. The motorcycle inspection event hosted the Wis. DOT's mobile rider education facility, called "THE REF" to promote safety among its members.
"It is a motorcycle simulator that allows you to test your skills in a simulated ride," Pierce said. "And then they give you a score on how well you did."
The idea is to teach people how to be proactive in preventing crashes--a necessary step in the Wis. DOT's "5=Zero" campaign. It's an initiative to achieve zero vehicle-related deaths within the next five years.
In 2012, there were nearly 800 deaths on Wisconsin's roadways. Approximately one in seven involved a motorcycle.
"The emphasis of motorcycle safety is tremendous in the state of Wis.," said state trooper AJ Llanas.
Llanas says last year was particularly bad for fatalities. That's why he and his motorcycle officers are also at Saturday's event, demonstrating what it looks like to be a smart rider.
"We're showing them how to safely maneuver their motorcycles at intersections, street lines and braking to avoid any collisions," Llamas said. "Helmet, coat, gloves, proper riding boots, proper riding pants, will increase your survival if someone strikes you or you have collision."
They are tips that will be especially important to remember as the weather warms up. Hundreds of thousands of bikers are expected to participate in the handful of motorcycle events going on this summer around the state. The most notable includes the 110th anniversary celebration of Harley Davidson in September.

These are not the fingernails of a poor person ... or a dead person ... or a Charlie Sheen ... they belong to one of the most famous people on the planet.
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
a story like this only proves it's going to be a very slow weekend in Hollyweird!!
These things happen
What the **** is wrong with his nails!? I hope he gets those checked out.
Ewwww what's wrong with Al?
Those digits look infected.
I love ya Al , but baby, those nails could be a sign of a serious disease. Have those checked out.
Al's approaching Nick Nolte in the "amazing mess" category.
Seriously...two cycles of oral/tablets ofLamisil for fungus, it really will fix this. I had toenails like this from athletes foot and swim team/mold floors and walking barefoot on carpet with other family members who had really bad feet and every one eventually gets it in the family, especially if sharing the shower/tub floor in a household. Once you get it, it just takes over all nails and they get hard, yellow, thicker or even just disappear. It is gross, I know, but today after two rounds of prescribed tablet form taken orally Lamisil , my nails are PERFECT and you would never know they looked like Al's finger. I bet his toes are the same or worse. Even just rubbing toes with this guy you will/can get it. He probably has a yeast overgroeth internally that he can fix with a better diet as well. Once you have a yeast problem it afects so much of your body. Look it up. Yeast and fungus are what ails most people with any health issue. Seriously, it is just a body bug gone bad...but totally fixable...but you have to do some work and change some of your habits and foods...and do the Lamisil tablets...let us know the results Al.
By the way you have to take a liver test first before they will prescribe to you...you cannot have a bad liver.
I had absolutley no problems or side effects, and it has been over 15 years since I cured my nails....yeah!!!
They even have patients assistance programs through the pharmcuetical company that makes it, if you cannot aford it.
Get a doctor to prescribe after an exam and call the pharm co. and tell them our situation...better yet write them a handwritten plea and maybe even show them a photo of your situation.
It really works.
Another tip:
do not walk barefoot, always wear clean flip-flops around the house and everywhere instead of bare feet and wash them periodcally with hot saop and water, dry your feeet/hands well, even use the blow dryer to dry under toenails every time they get wet and always clean with a toenail nail stick, I think they call them orange sticks, any way keep them clean and DRY. I wear a cheap $1.00 walmart pair of shower flip-flops by my shower door and put them on as soon as I dry my feet and if I go into a strange shower or visits family, I wear them IN THE SHOWER and soap up and put them right bak on and I curl my toes to the sky..I don't ever want that fungus again....
Just my tips because someone is reading this and is listening.
I tell you it all works...get rid of it and keep yourself from catching it again....
do not share shoes or socks with anyone also!!!
That looks like a crime scene prop.
Damn that's nasty!
Call 911
thought it was britney spears ..looks similar except she bites em down till her cuticles bleed. just as gross.
Why would he let that happen to himself ?

When Stanley Marcus Invited Nazi Collaborator Coco Chanel to Dallas
In the late 1950s, the Jewish department store mogul salvaged Chanel's reputation—and burnished his own
This week, Karl Lagerfeld and the House of Chanel returned to Dallas, Texas, for the first time since 1957. The reason was the Métier d'Art, the annual showcase of the various couture collections and the debut of Lagerfeld's new short biopic about Coco Chanel, The Return. Dallas is a fitting location for the debut of such a film. "I love Texas. I love Texans," Lagerfeld told Women's Wear Daily recently. But Chanel's own feelings were a bit more complicated.
On her arrival in Dallas in 1957, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, 74 at the time, desperately needed to dispel the shame of her anti-Semitic, collaborationist wartime activities in occupied France. She was invited to Dallas by Stanley Marcus, the cultivated, Harvard-educated "Merchant Prince," who ran the Neiman Marcus department store. The unspoken bargain between them, according to her many biographers, was this: Chanel would receive one of Neiman Marcus' annual Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion Awards—and all the sales that would inevitably follow—and "The Store," as it was (and still is) known, would receive a state visit from fashion's dowager queen.
Marcus, bald and regal, greeted Chanel at the airport when she arrived: Theirs was the eager embrace of two master opportunists presented with a magically opportune moment. Beneath the opportunity, however, was irony: Chanel had spent a considerable portion of the war attempting to benefit financially from the Nazi persecution of Jews, capitalizing on legislation prohibiting Jews from owning and operating businesses to wrest control of the eternally lucrative "Parfums Chanel" from the two Jewish businessmen, Pierre and Paul Wertheimer, who established it under her name in 1924. A letter survives dated May 5, 1941, in which Chanel wrote to the relevant government official that the company was "still the property of Jews" and thus should be reallocated to her as the major minority shareholder.
But 16 years later, there she was, hugging Stanley Marcus like an old friend and pecking his cheeks à la française, charmed to be getting an award from a luxury brand that was most definitely "still the property of Jews." Had the so-called "Mademoiselle" changed her mind on the exact type of Jewish retailer that, in her words, had "screwed" her in the past? What did the discerning and eccentric "Mr. Stanley"—the man who was famous for saying, "I have the simplest taste; I am always satisfied with the best"—make of his honored guest's sordid wartime past? Did he know? Did it matter?
Chanel's anti-Semitism is the principal skeleton in an otherwise fabulously well-appointed closet, the little black smudge on a white jersey blouse that can't quite ever be scrubbed out. All of her major biographers naturally mention her highly publicized affair with Hugh Grosvenor, the 2nd Duke of Westminster, a known anti-Semite, and, most of all, her controversial "collaboration horizontale" with Hans Gunther von Dincklage, an attaché to the German Embassy in Paris and 13 years her junior. ("Really, sir," Chanel would later explain to Cecil Beaton after the war, attempting to laugh off the entire affair, "a woman of my age cannot be expected to look at his passport if she has the chance of a lover.")
But von Dincklage was more than a younger, athletic lover: Chanel's original and perhaps most thorough biographer, Edmonde Charles-Roux, has identified him as an operative of the Reich intelligence ministry. Pierre Galante, another of her seemingly innumerable biographers, considered him an Abwehr agent. In either case, neither identity alone suggests anti-Semitism on Chanel's part per se, only the kind of opportunistic liaison for which Mademoiselle—an ex-orphan and classic demi-mondaine with a taste for luxury and a head for calculation—was already well known in prewar Paris' bon chic, bon genre circles. Somehow, when food had virtually evaporated from the city during the Occupation and its luxury apartments had been confiscated for Nazi use, Chanel managed to scrape by just fine, largely thanks to von Dincklage's assistance. In the words of Jean d'Harcourt, the son of Chanel's close friend Antoinette d'Harcourt (née Rothschild): "You know, she kept a car, and a driver, and petrol throughout the war: that was most unusual, unless you were a Minister from the Vichy government but, otherwise, no one had that!"
Sexual opportunism was by no means the exclusive province of the aging Mademoiselle: Many other so-called femmes tondues would carry on affairs with Nazi officers and soldiers throughout the occupation, as immortalized in the second volume of Irène Némirovsky's Suite Francaise and in the flashback scenes of Alain Resnais' Hiroshima mon amour. As complex and as human as these liaisons were, they were fundamentally defined by the Occupation's reconstruction of power relations between men and women and soldiers and citizens. For this reason, collaborations horizontales are often described, with the largesse of hindsight, as survival mechanisms. "Survival," as it happens, is the label most often assigned to this particular chapter of Chanel's life, at least in her major biographies. Mademoiselle, the idea goes, had to make it through the war somehow, just like every other French woman.
The problem with this line of defense, however, is that survival was hardly the desired end of Chanel's wartime opportunism. Quite the contrary. In fact, the abandoned orphan who had fought her way from the strictures of a Catholic convent to the upper echelons of Parisian society seems to have seen in the war yet another opportunity for profit and self-promotion. Now was a moment in which she could finally capitalize on an anti-Semitism that had long been part of her worldview but had only recently become acceptable to advertise in public. If she hadn't been able to defeat the Wertheimer brothers in the past, she certainly could now, because they were Jews and therefore part of a growing menace that threatened the social fabric.
Perhaps the most revealing anecdote along these lines appears in the diary of one Boulos Ristelhueber, a confidante of the legendary Paris hostess Misia Sert, who lured the likes of Diaghilev, Proust, and, of course, Chanel to her artistic salons over the years. (Despite the fact that Misia herself was Catholic, Chanel would later say that her friend had a "Jewish soul" due to her perpetual associations with "the Jews themselves.") In a diary entry from Dec. 29, 1941, well over a year into the Occupation and months after Chanel had written to the local authorities against the Wertheimers, Ristelhueber mentions the following:
Spent an evening at Misia's with Coco Chanel and Francois d'Harcourt. Coco goes into a tirade against the Jews. The conversation is dangerous, given Antoinette's origins [Antoinette d'Harcourt was a Rothschild] and the presence of the Duke [Duc Francois d'Harcourt was Antoinette's husband]. … Sert's chauffeur drove me home in such blackness that half the time we were on the pavement.
Likewise, James Brady, an American correspondent for Women's Wear Daily, would notice much the same in an interview with Mademoiselle in 1961 (after her visit to Dallas and Neiman Marcus). A similar sentiment trickled through their conversations. "She was a biased mass of contradictions," he recalled. "If the vintages failed, the franc weakened. 'C'est les juifs. It's the Jews.' Yet her closest friend was the Baroness Marie-Helene de Rothschild. She complained that blacks smelled different and then rhapsodized about a certain black prizefighter. 'That man and I … how we danced.' "
On a ranch not far from Dallas, she would dance with Stanley Marcus as well.
In 1957, Stanley Marcus, at age 52, was that rare blend of fixture and outsider in his community, a man whose name almost everyone knew but whose cosmopolitan, Renaissance sensibility—not to mention liberal politics—kept him somewhat removed from the Dallas establishment, the heart and soul of his consumer base. At the same time, however, he was an integral part of the city, in many ways its unelected mayor.

Hopefully someone will point out that disarming the law abiding only encourages the criminal. Gang members across the nation have stated that they love gun control and encourage it where ever they can. Why? It makes their jobs easier. Criminals love safety laws in their line of work. More gun control means more sitting ducks. They can rob and pillage at their leisure knowing that no one has a gun and no means of defending themselves. Sure they can call the police but that gives them a good 5 to 15 minutes of quality criminal time with their victims

Mohanlal made perfect use of the first power-play, if one were to use a cricket analogy. Right until the mid-nineties, he was unstoppable, making ordinary movies seem good and converting good ones into mini classics with his natural acting skills. 'Sanmanassullavarku Samdhanam', 'T P Balagopalan. M.A.', 'Uyarangalil', 'Thoovanathumbikal', 'Nadodikaatu', 'Thalavattom', 'Sadayam', 'Chithram', 'Kilukkam', 'Kireedom', 'Vaastuhaara', 'Amrutham Gamaya', 'Panchagni', 'Padamudra', 'Rajavinte Makan', 'Ulsavepittenu', 'Bharatham'; it wouldn't be wrong to say Lal made the movies as much as they made him.

A Port Chester man wanted in connection with an investigation of illegal drug sales on the streets of Port Chester had charges filed against him as he was being held at the Westchester County Jail, according to Port Chester Police.
Police said they were notified this week that Joseph Ferrara, 23, of 8C Highland Ave., was in custody at the county jail in Valhalla. With that, police said Ferraro was hit with charges of criminal possession of a controlled sustance and criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Lt. James Ladeairous said Port Chester Police Department, working with the Narcotics Unit of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety, has been aggressively investigating sales of illegal narcotics in the village. Arrests in "Operation Clean Sweep" have been made for the street level sale of narcotics including cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, prescriptions pills and marijuana.
The 18-month probe was announced in November 2012 when police announced a dozen arrests in connection with the investigation.

What's wrong with IBM?
Shares of the computing giant were down over 5% Thursday after the company missed sales estimates. Does this mean investors should get out now?
Of course, as Motley Fool One Analyst Jason Moser points out, the company still generated almost $24 billion in sales this quarter, but the news certainly doesn't help IBM's case.
According to Jason, the company has suffered a tough 2013: it only met earnings estimates thanks to a tax benefit, sales in its international markets were down, and sales at its hardware division weren't strong.
After seven consecutive quarters of missing sales estimates, Jason is a skeptical about IBM's future.

Every newspost being made about this service seems to be misrepresenting what the service is supposed to do. At no point has Blizzard made any assertion that this is supposed to be your Level 80 Orc Shaman getting fed up with Thrall and going to work for King Varian. That's just distorting what this service is about and I think it's confusing more people than it's informing.
It's really nothing more than the Character Customization service they implemented earlier, except the element you're changing is 'Faction' instead of 'Gender'. It's all the faction-specific data elements (like mounts and reputations) and questIDs that make it complex enough to warrant it as a separate service and fee. There doesn't need to be any kind of lore component, just as there doesn't need to be any lore component for why your character is a dude instead of a lady. It is a technical change and nothing more.
To answer the initial question, though: I think this is the only method that Blizzard would ever allow a faction change for characters, because allowing Gnomes in the Horde and Tauren in the Alliance would be counter-intuitive to creating a sense of mutual hostility between the two factions. And Blizzard made it clear with Wrath that they wanted to bring the war back to Warcraft by heating up the conflict between the Horde and Alliance. So short answer is it's not the best way, but it's the only way to do it and maintain their professed intentions.
Don't get me wrong; I'm a huge fan of this site, and I'm normally not one to complain. I just don't like how this service is being misrepresented.

So why let DK be on both sides and of all races, blizzard may want to bring back PVP to the game. But the PVE story line doesn't support it at all; they are literally Allies since about level 40 which just don't talk to each other. All the new BG since Vanilla WOW makes absolutely no sense with regard to why they are fighting or in many cases where they're fighting.
I play a lot of PVP with both my Horde and Alliance toons. I don't struggle at all in knowing who is my friend or foe. It's just a blue or red outlining to me, they look so often the same anyway, at least Blizzard has finally decided to make the gear different, between faction. Which is all you really need if you think about it. Who cares who is under the gear?
All those comment about they will quite if they see a Gnome running around in Orgrimmar. Why didn't they quite during the Holidays, when there was tons of Gnomer in Orgrimmar? People like to make a lot of thing absolute, which really just cosmetic once you set down and think about it

Six Lessons from The Lord of The Rings
- Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Sometimes We Must be the Sacrifice
J.R.R. Tolkien lived through two World Wars; he knew better than most that no victory comes without a cost. This theme of sacrifice is ingrained in his novels and in the essence of his characters, none more so than Frodo Baggins. Frodo gave up his peaceful life at home in order to destroy the Ring, knowing the mission would likely claim his life. In the end, even though Frodo survived his journey he could not go back to his life in the Shire. He had given everything to protect the world, and now, he had no place in it. As Christians, sometimes we are called to surrender the things we love most in order to preserve what Christ has done. It may be our hard-won careers, our deepest dreams, perhaps even the desire for a family of our own. It is a cold and bitter truth, but like Frodo, Christ does not leave us alone and without hope.
There is Always Hope
There are some pretty heavy moments in Tolkien's writing. There are good people who suffer, while others give in to the darkness, but no matter how far a character falls there is still always hope and the opportunity of forgiveness. Even a character like Boromir, who betrays his companions, ends up finding redemption in the end. For Christians, the message of hope is a powerful one, and it is very comforting to find it within the pages of The Lord of the Rings. There is a quote in The Return of the King where Pippin asks Gandalf if there any hope for them, "There was never much hope," the wizard replies, "Only a fool's hope." And yet, that is all that's really needed. Despite all the adversity we might face in life, God's grace is still present, and no matter what we've done he can still use us to demonstrate His glory. One of Tolkien's greatest gifts to his readers was the message that hope exists, even when we're faced with overwhelming odds.

Aspergers is Not a Diagnosis
This article totally explains my reasons for switching to a more plant-based diet. It also helps me stay the course…
What My Fridge Says About Me…
I have to say, I am pretty amazed every time I look inside my refrigerator these days. As you can see, I now house more than 50% vegetables and fruits in there. I have never had so many fruits and vegetables in my house at one time, ever!
I started juicing a few weeks ago and so had to up the veggie storage. In addition to the juicing, a funny thing happened about a week and a half ago. I started craving veggies. All kinds of veggies… asparagus, peppers, carrots, pea pods, beets, celery, kale, lettuce… you get the idea.
I have never craved veggies. Burgers, chocolate cake, cheese curds, lasagna, ice cream, beignets, risotto - sure… but never kale! Now it is something I want all the time. I keep two to three bunches of kale in the refrigerator at a time, along with two bunches of asparagus, three peppers and three kinds of lettuce.
All these veggies taking up room in my fridge has made it impossible to have room for processed foods. And because I am craving the veggies, it doesn't matter to me anymore that it takes longer to prepare meals. The fact that I feel better, I think better and I sleep better outweighs all the extra time it takes to prep and cook, anyway. And besides, my son and my husband are prepping and cooking with me, too; so the longer it takes to make a meal, the longer we spend together.
Man, I never thought I would benefit so much and in so many ways from such a simple change. And no, I do not miss meat or eggs or cow dairy anymore. And neither does my fridge.
