I want to let you in on a secret that I just can't keep any longer. I'm working on a social marketing ecourse. I want to teach you, step by step, how to build your own social marketing machine.
When I first started marketing my coaching services, I found many entrepreneurs eager to learn what I had to teach, but there were always two obstacles that came up time and time again; time and money. If I offered my time as a consultant, my hourly rate was too high for most entrepreneurs. Their marketing budgets were not large enough to hire me. The second obstacle, time, was just as much of a barrier. These business owners did not have entire days or even half days to set aside to learn how to use social media. They were constantly being pulled in several directions at once as they wore multiple hats to keep their businesses running.
I was frustrated because I knew I had knowledge of strategies that would work for them. And the best part is these tools are free! I knew I could help these business owners increase their profits if I could get the information in their hands. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs in my family. I knew the challenges they faced. I knew that this obstacle of time and money was not small obstacle. It was big.
While continuing to study and absorb social marketing strategies, I came across an idea that would solve these two problems. I could offer an online course to teach these techniques and get them into the hands of the entrepreneurs who could run with these strategies and really make them work to increase sales. By offering an online course, I could create a good product and offer it at an affordable price. I could then sell this course to a wide audience on the internet, allowing me to keep the price low.
But I knew I still needed to overcome the problem of time. What could I do to make this course flexible and easy to fit into the hectic schedule of an entrepreneur? After more research, I found that I could offer a course that was broken up into small, easily digestable pieces. I could create videos and audio lessons that were no longer than 10 minutes each. I could structure the course so that it walked through, step-by-step, the process of setting up a social marketing machine that an entrepreneur could get started and easily keep running.
And so I'm creating the Social Marketing Classroom. This course will walk you through step-by-step how to get started on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and creating a blog for your business. I know the mistakes that most people make when they start using social networks. I will show you how to avoid those mistakes, saving you a lot of time and frustration. If you follow my system, one step at a time as I've laid it out for you, you will have a marketing macine that will bring customers right to your door, and you will need to spend only a very small amount of time each week to keep the machine working for you.
But I need your help. In order to make this course the best it can be, I want to know, if I were your coach, what would you most want to learn about social marketing? In the comments below, let me know what is your most burning question about using social networks. Your comments will help me create a really focused e-course for my entrepreneurial students!

"I'm Daniel Radcliffe, and I believe that reaching out for help is the
bravest thing a person can do," the actor says in a new video for the
Trevor Project that premiered during last night's episode of Glee which featured attempted teen suicide in a storyline.
Last June, the actor was honored with the Hero Award given by the LGBT teen suicide prevention organization and dedicated it to "the real heroes," who he says "are the people who are staffing those call centers and picking up the phones, saving lives every single day."
In the new public service announcement, the 22-year-old addresses the camera and says, "I'm Daniel Radcliffe, and I believe that reaching out for help is the bravest thing a person can do. If you are struggling and need support, call the Trevor Lifeline at 1-866-488-7386. It's free and confidential, and trained counselors are there to listen 24/7 without judgment."
The Woman in Black star released a statement revealing that his work with the organization has taught him the importance of being a straight ally and offering his support. "When we let someone know that we accept them for who they are and that we are safe to talk to, we can help save lives," he says. "It's as simple as that."
Watch Radcliffe's new Trevor Project video below.

Today is my birthday and those of you who are artists can guess how I'll be celebrating. I purposely planned a long weekend to take advantage of TIME -- that all elusive thing that seems to disappear when you work outside the home for long hours. I'm also spending part of tomorrow visiting some exhibits in Dallas, including Il Lee at the Crow Collection of Asian Art, the drawings of Rachel Whiteread at the Nasher Sculpture Center and the paintings of Luc Tuymans at the Dallas Museum of Art. Whew.
There will also be various dinners and lunches which I plan to take full advantage of including a free brunch offered all of their subscribers at the Blue Mesa Grill.
Jeanne Simpson has been one of the students in my pilot offering of classes, and I wanted to feature two of her homework assignments. The first one was in response to an exercise that asked my students to create an example of proximity using actual line:
The second image was in response to an assignment to explore the illusion of space:
I think she did a wonderful job!


text: According to this snippit from InsideBall on foxsports: "Why Manly will win: Des Hasler's side are three from their past four against North Queensland and are gunning for four wins on the trot. Here's some trivia: they'll join Roosters, Souths, Canterbury, St George, and Balmain as clubs with 800 wins if they get up." Very cool, especially since St George and Balmain are no longer in the comp.

EBC Students meet Nick Clegg02 May 2014 - 1:48pm
Members of the College Council met Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, at the National Portrait Gallery on Wednesday 30th April to help launch the Naz Legacy Foundation's Diversity Programme. Students said Mr Clegg was very relaxed and informal with them at the launch of this initiative to encourage more schools to visit museums and public galleries, particularly those from minority communities.
Members of EBC's College Council pictured above with Sandy Naire, director of the National Portrait Gallery (back row third from left), Hina Bokhari, daughter of Naz Bokhari, (centre) and Nick Clegg (back row centre)
To see more photos of their visit to the National Portait Gallery click here.
The boys were introduced to the portrait in the National Portrait Gallery of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo, a Muslim man who became a victim of the Atlantic slave trade, only to be brought out of slavery by public subscription. They made their own sketches before meeting Mr Clegg and telling him what they thought of the portrait.
"I'd not been to this gallery before but I would love to go again," said Najibullah from 10SS who is standing on the deputy Prime Minister's left in the photo above. "I thought it would be full of portraits of Kings and Queens but there were lots of different interesting people there."

A Monday report from ESPN indicated that the Timberwolves are eyeing Jimmy Butler as a trade target, but the Bulls may not be willing to deal their star forward. In fact, league sources at the annual Adidas Eurocamp in Italy tell Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders that Chicago is much more open to the idea of trading Derrick Rose, rather than Butler.
With Rose entering a contract year and attached to a cap number of $21MM+, it's not clear how much interest he'll generate, or whether any teams have made a real offer yet. However, Kyler writes that there's a sense around the NBA that teams unable to land a starting point guard in free agency could turn to the Bulls as a potential trade partner.
Kyler passed along a few more tidbits from Italy, so let's dive in and round up the highlights…
- Prospects like Wade Baldwin and Demetrius Jackson are viewed as potential targets for the Bulls at No. 14, particularly if the team gets serious about moving Rose, writes Kyler.
- Kyler makes note of several draft prospects whose medical issues could have an impact on their value, writing that one NBA team compared Michigan State's Denzel Valentine to Danny Granger due to questions about his knee. While Kyler's sources still believe Valentine will be a first-rounder, many teams believe that knee could be a problem.
- Kris Dunn is believed to have a "soft promise" in the top six, while Domantas Sabonis appears to have a similar promise from a top-12 team. A handful of international prospects, including including Ivica Zubac, Ante Zizic and Juan Hernangomez, are also believed to have promises later in the first round, according to Kyler.
- More and more executives around the NBA believe the Celtics will take either Jamal Murray or Jaylen Brown at No. 3 if they keep that pick. A. Sherrod Blakely suggested earlier this week that Boston was strongly considering Brown.
- Malachi Richardson and Demetrius Jackson are two prospects the Grizzlies have their eyes on, though their pick at No. 17 may come down to who's still on the board at that point.

Discussion in 'UPS Discussions' started by Skittles, May 15, 2015.
I'm looking for things to do for money, might resort to mowing yards like I did in highschool.
You don't want to know.
Oh my god
If you have the right equipment, there's some pretty good coin to be made mowing lawns.
A lawn mower?
Another job, you can either aim for a job that may offer you the chance to move up before you actually get a bid to go driving or you can get a dead end job that will just last you until you can drive.
I would say retail personally, you're already use to walking around all damn day, retail is just less lifting and more talking.
I was doing a full time warehouse job on top of ups, talk about hell haha
That reminds me, we still on for 8 PM behind the Walmart?
Thought we were talking about sexual services, then I realized you're a pt sup. you must be buying something strong.
I don't get High on PCP or LSD. I get high on G-O-D
Your one of "those"? I have to watch out for you on Sundays pulling out onto the highway so drunk on God you aren't paying attention.
Pt sups don't go to church.
Deliver pizza friday through sunday. Also, find sugar mama.
After gas and everything, do you make decent money delivering pizza?
Sling dope and Pimp ho's[emoji484][emoji484]
Somehow that put me in debt
I hear there's good money to be made in beastiality porn.
Pressure washing driveways, mow/trim some lawns, deliver pizzas, valet cars on weekends, work at a place you like to shop at for a discount, those are just a few ideas that pop in my head you could do with little to no startup costs, easily replaceable also if you don't like it.
Breaking & entering .
Separate names with a comma.


text: A bust of Guiseppe Codali was recently unveiled in the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens, at one of the entrances to the bridge over the Dell, which bear's Mr Codali's name. Guiseppe Codali arrived in Gibraltar from his native Italy in the 1870s. He was the head gardener at the Alameda and designed a number of gardens in Gibraltar and the hinterland, including the sunken garden of The Dell itself. The bust was very kindly donated by the Codali family, which is rightly proud of its heritage. The Minister for the Environment and Heritage both attended the unveiling of the statue, as did the descendants of Guiseppe Codali, some of whom had travelled from the UK to attend the event. The Gibraltar Botanic Gardens are extremely grateful to the Codali family for their exceptionally generous donation.

It's Time To Wake Up - We Are All One!
There is a single, intelligent Consciousness that pervades the entire Universe - the Universal Mind. It is all knowing, all powerful, all creative and always present. As it is present everywhere at the same time, it follows that it must also be present in you - that it is you. Your mind is part of the one Universal Mind. This is not simply a philosophical ideal passed down to us through the ages. It is an exact scientific truth. Know it, believe it, apply it and you will see your life transform in miraculous ways.
Albert Einstein told us that "everything is energy"; that "a human being is a part of the whole called by us [the] Universe". His words echoed the most ancient of spiritual and philosophical teachings and still underpin today's cutting-edge scientific discoveries. The Universal Mind goes by many names. In the scientific world we know of the Unified Field, in spiritual philosophy we refer to The All or Universal Consciousness and in religion we call upon God who Himself goes by many names - Jehovah, Allah and Brahman to mention but a few. The name is relevant only in so far as it resonates with you.
Whichever way you cut it, you come to this one unavoidable conclusion: there is but One Consciousness of which your consciousness must be a part and "a part", as Charles Haanel said, "must be the same in kind and quality as the whole, the only difference being one of degree".
The nature of the Universal Mind is Omniscience (all knowing), Omnipotence (all powerful), Omnificence (all creative) and Omnipresence (always present). Know that this too is your nature. You have access to all knowledge, known and unknown; you have access to an infinite power for which nothing is impossible; you have access to the limitless creativity of the One Creator. All these attributes are present within you at all times in their potential form.

In western Africa, there is a popular two-stringed lute instrument called a kologo. It's perhaps most identified with the Frafra people, who hail from areas of northern Ghana and the neighboring southern lip of Burkina Faso. It's an interesting rudimentary banjo-type contraption—traditionally made of a hairless animal skin stretched over a gourd, with two nylon strings containing only two tones (bass and treble) tightened across a wooden neck, wrapped around two tuning pegs, and usually some crushed bottle caps or other metallic materials are wedged at the top of the neck to create a tinny, rattling effect (sort of like self-amplification). Most interestingly, once the instrument is built and owned by a musician, its identity is strictly entwined with that of the musician—it's largely considered improper to cover another person's music on your kologo. The instrument produces an eerily familiar sounding plink, it's the kind of sound one can recognize uncannily without ever having heard it before. Most kologo artists play solo or with a string of traditional percussionists. There is an innovative generation of players, however, who fuse the western influence of drum machines and synthesizers to supplement their more bare-bones kologo plucks. One of these up-and-coming kologo musicians is the handsome late-twentysomething, Bola Anafo.
Bola's ascent began with the tutelage of one of the best-known kologo players, Guy One, who favors a stripped-down almost wandering-bard style of performance. Bola still sings in the raspy but affecting intonations of Frafra, though it's fair to say he offers a bit more delicate melisma and mellifluous singing in his vocal plaints. This vocal accessibility and marriage of musical styles is perhaps why his tape, Volume 7 was handpicked by Awesome Tapes from Africa for a stateside release.
Awesome Tapes from Africa is the blog-cum-record label founded by world traveler and DJ Brian Shimkovitz. It began, literally, as a bedroom industry and has since blossomed into a purveyor of obscure western African sub-genres. Shimkovitz conducts markedly fair and transparent licensing practices with the artists—he is foremostly concerned with exposing their music to wider audiences than repeating the recording-industry ills big labels had in the past with, say, mid-century blues musicians of the American south.
However, Bola is not a charity case. His music is undulating and repetitive in a way that can be difficult for our nation of attention-deficit disorder hoarders to grasp, but it's also spirited, danceable, and fun as hell. The tracks are long, however, mostly clocking in over six minutes, so you likely only need one or two for a backyard barbecue soundtrack or a summer jams 2012 mixtape. Unless, of course, you become completely entranced in what might prove to be a longstanding relationship with what fruits an organization like Awesome Tapes and provocative, burgeoning artists like Bola have to offer.

We first spied the new tattoos when One Direction kicked off their Where We Are tour in Colombia. Harry lifted his arms up and his shirt hiked up to reveal a little peak at the new artwork.

Question: Severe Adominal Pain
|Dolphin45n - Tue May 29, 2007 9:48 pm
I am a 22 year old woman who has been diganosised with chronic pancreatitis. It has been an on going fight for four years now and no doctors know why. I have had my gallbladder and appendix removed. I have had all kinds of Endoscopy procedures done and nothing to explain my pancreatitis attacks. I have seen just about every gastro doctor in the state of GA and have no results. I was recently dignosised with constipation and was told to use an enema, when I did, I have severe adominal pain near my belly button. I am not too sure if I might have a bowel obstruction. The doctor at the Emergency room told me that there was a massive size lump near my stomach and that it was constipation and to go home and use an emema. I am still in pain and not too sure what to do. Could this constipation be coming from my long time pancreatitis? Or could it be that since I have been constipated for about a month now have a bowel obstruction? I have read that constant fecal compaction can cause bowel obstructions.
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Tue May 29, 2007 9:59 pm
Chronic constipation can cause bowel obstruction symptoms and can be quite painful. In addition to the enemas you may need to take something by mouth to treat the constipation from above and below.
Regarding your pancreatitis, have you been tested for cystic fibrosis? Mild cystic fibrosis could potentially cause chronic constipation without many other effects. It would be rare but worth testing for.
Other potential causes include most commonly alcoholism, and a narrowed pancreatic duct. To test the second, some places can do pressure measurements of the pancreatic duct. This is a quite specialized procedure and many places don't have the capability to do this so it may not be possible.
Otherwise, the other common category for chronic pancreatitis is idiopathic, meaning we don't know what causes it unfortunately.
I hope this helps a little.
Best wishes.
|Dolphin45n - Tue May 29, 2007 10:36 pm
Well I just gad an ERCP done and was told that my common bile duct from my gallbladder was spacmatic so he made a 4mm cut to see if that would improve the pancreatitis attacks. So far so good but it has also only been 5 days too. He said that my ducts to my pancreas looked good for a 22 year old. I did want to reply to let you know that I do appreciate your opinions and I will certainly have my doctor test me for cystic fibrosis.
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Wed May 30, 2007 4:55 pm
Thanks for the update. I hope this procedure helps you.

"Drugs and alcohol, and suicide . . . are clearly the proximate cause," said Angus Deaton, the 2015 Nobel laureate in economics, who co-authored the paper with his wife, Anne Case. Both are economics professors at Princeton University.Read it here and be shocked...but I warn you. Keep your race baiting bullshit to yourself or I'll lock down the comments on this.
"Half a million people are dead who should not be dead," he added. "About 40 times the Ebola stats. You're getting up there with HIV-AIDS."
My take.
The economic recovery that the Democrats have been hanging there hat on isn't. They can play with the employment numbers...inflation numbers...even household income but the truth is still out there and obvious to anyone with the eyes to see and the courage to believe what they're seeing.
This country is in economic trouble. The funny thing is that the Baby Boomers had the highest level of living in the history of the world and their children are getting smoked.
Remember the post that I did on drugs in the Middle East? I wondered what would happen to a society that experienced a couple of decades of war. Now we have to ask what happens to a society that experiences a decade of economic malaise and the disappearance of the Middle Class.
Now we know. Oh and if you think this problem is only affecting whites? Think again...remember this chick?
The Middle Class across the board is getting body slammed...Black, White, Hispanic, Asian...every swinging dick and ovary. The Democrats failed. The Republican have no real answers. We're fucked.
Sidenote: I would never do it so leave me alone Secret Service and US Marshals but did you see the President grinning at the start of her question? I don't dislike the guy (I just think he's done a terrible job) but I feel like jumping thru the TV, punching the fuck out of him and then smoking his ass for half an hour! What the fuck did she say that was funny or worthy of even a smile? She voted for her new reality....she got "hope and change" and it sucks.

Mr. President
On June the 20th, 2011, in an address to his supporters, Assad referred to the peaceful demonstrators calling for freedom, dignity and economic equality as "bacteria" needing elimination.
Shortly after Assad inherited presidency, the " new" and " youthful" tyrant, surpassed his father's legacy, with his slick support for terrorism and oppressive practices. Human Rights Watch called his first ten years as president "the wasted decade".
When calls for freedom and dignity spread to every corner of Syria, Assad ordered his loyal commanders and thugs to kill, torture, besiege, starve and expel his own people. Their terrorizing slogan was: "Assad or Syria burns".
Almost immediately, the Iranian government joined in, providing Assad with direct military, intelligence and political support, and resurrecting ages-old theological dispute that had never divided Syrians before. Together, they attempted fear mongering and played sectarian agenda. Syrians celebrate their diversity. The Iranian government fears it.
Compounding this tragedy was the entrance of Mr. Putin with an ideology that despises democracy and sees human beings as mere obedient creatures to a "state" operated by invisible forces, fueled by deceit and mockery for human dignity. For Mr. Putin, the manipulation of a country's constitution and ignoring human rights is just another day at the office.
Mr. President, Syria is not a multi-ethnic country like others, where civil wars have erupted. Syria is a crossroads of all civilization. It is a ten-thousand-year old nation, where Abraham, St. Paul, and Mohammad had walked. The Syrian people are the definition of tolerance and diversity. Syria is a country where people offer you their loaf of bread before taking a bite.
The orchestrated efforts by Putin and Assad are not- as many think- a "realistic approach" to a deeply divided country. It is a relentless devotion to destroying any dream of victory of human spirit. Putin and Assad are destroying thousand-year-old towns, starving populations into submission and forcing them to leave. Their homes and properties are given away as rewards to thugs and killers. All of this has resulted in a sinister de-facto demographic changes that amount to ethnic cleansing.
Mr. President, the suffering in Syria will define your legacy, how would you like it to be written?
Mr. President, please put an end to this cruel international game of chess of systematic displacement and extermination of millions of innocent Syrians who have become helpless victims of unspeakable atrocities tantamount to crimes against humanity and genocide.
Mr. President, "political realism" is a not applicable, nor acceptable, when what's at stake is a whole nation and its people! Stop the partition of Syria immediately, by calling for a United Nations resolution, forbidding the partition of Syria by any entity or state, banning demographic changes, preserving the pre-2011 ownership of land and property, and protecting the rights of Syrian refugees inside and outside Syria to return to their homes.

I just bet that it is no exaggeration for me to say that due to our current economic state the last few months, or even the last year has probably been one of the most stressful times of your life when it comes to your finances, and I know that things have to change, and change fast for you if you are to survive!
My wife and I found ourselves with 3 kids within 5 years, completely in over our heads financially and getting farther behind every single day, emotionally stressed beyond belief, and what seemed like no light at the end of the tunnel to give us any hope that things were going to change any time soon.
It is time to transform Your Financial Destiny away from all of the stress and negative news of recession, downturn, and gloom, and turn it into a clear, positive, Hope for the New Year ahead!
I know exactly how excruciating the urgency for cash can be, because that's where I was not too long ago. I can also tell you how deeply grateful I am that I'm now in a position to give something back by sharing what I've learned from the experts. This is not not something I take lightly… But If youre like me you're probably feeling a little skeptical of product that is being sold on the internet as the way to become successful online. Thats ok. Because I was a little more than just skeptical… I can't tell you how many times I told my coaches and mentors who were already making their fortune online how happy I was for them that they were making their fortune with w ver they were doing on the internet, but that it just did not seem like it was something for me…
My wife and friends began to grow weary and doubtful as well… But it was more than just being skeptical of what was going on, online… It actually came right down to my fears of failure and the lack of belief that what they were doing was something I could actually do. I bought every product, I listened to a ton of coaching calls, asked a million questions, listened to a million answers, and always walked away with the same results.
If your hearing this all to loud and clear you know what kind of stress these kind of situations can put on a family… If you can't get your-self back on track you can find yourself losing everything.
I knew I had to do something before everything we had worked so hard for all just vanished before our eyes… but I had no idea what that something was!
I was sure that my coaches were just giving me a few of the facts and leaving a ton of important information out, just so I would never make it and have to stay in their coaching program feeding them my hard earned money into their bank account every month. It wasn't really them though… it was my own fears and my own procrastinations. I was not doing everything they told me to do and I knew it. I was just giving it all a half hearted attempt due to the fears that I might fail in the end. And of course just enough so my wife would think I was really doing the best I could, and enough to blame it on everything and everyone else but my own fears.
THE BIG FEAR OF FAILURE! Me looking like a Failure was not something I wanted my wife and friends to see, especially when most of them didn't believe in what I was trying to do in the first place. They just kept watching me throw away my money on more and more products and services, as if that was the answer to me being successful. But when I reached the point of desperation in my own life I realized I had nothing to loose… so it was time to face the fears. I skeptically agreed to give w ver my coaches told me to do a try, and to do it to the best of my ability, to do it in the order they told me how to do it in, and ask questions when I was stuck…(and ask questions I did…) and guess what? It actually worked, and "I" made it happen, and so can "YOU"!
I quickly discovered that the secrets to making a good sustainable income online requires 3 qualities…ACTION, DEDICATION, & PERSEVERANCE.
Let me say that one more time, "There really is no magic pill," BUT… I would like the opportunity to show you the closest thing to it!
Knowing that…are you ready to learn from the real experts how you can become…

Making the Mix Room: Chuck Zwicky's Zmix — Chelsea, New York City
Just over Chelsea way in Manhattan, is a man who takes mixing very, very seriously.
The discography of Chuck Zwicky is deep and diverse, stacked with hitmakers that include The Rembrandts, Reggie Watts, Soul Asylum, Prince and Information Society, along with plenty of new blood. Visit his sun-soaked mixing HQ, and you'll see he takes his own unique approach to mixing, evident from the gear he selects and the plugins he personally designs.
The results he achieves speak for themselves (and you'll find plenty of examples below), but its the way this mixmaster goes about his craft that increases the inspiration. Equal parts audio artist and scientist, Zwicky is more than happy to tune you into his techniques.
Mixer Name: Chuck Zwicky
Location Chelsea, located on a small island off the coast of the United States called Manhattan, New York, NY, USA, Earth.
Mix Philosophy: My approach to mixing is that I try to bring out what the song is thinking, if you will, to find the essence of what it is, and what it's trying to communicate.
The first time I push up the faders I imagine what this song is going to feel like once it's mixed. My job as a mixer is to translate that feeling into workable sounds and define the relationships between those sounds – creating the context in which each element has a purpose – and to use these individual elements to create a living, breathing entity and introduce it to the listener.
I've learned some valuable lessons about mixing in my career, two of which can be summed up as: "Apathy is Contagious" and "The Buck Stops Here".
Here's how I got there: Years ago I had stopped by a producer's studio as he was cutting a record with a "big name" engineer, but they happened to be out to lunch. The assistant was there and I asked him how the engineer liked the room. He told me: "The first thing he said when he walked in was – 'you can't cut drums in here.'"
We were both a bit mystified as we particularly liked that room for drums..! Several months later I was hired to mix that record, and had long since forgotten about that conversation. I pushed up the faders and my first thought was, "I can't mix this, these drum sounds are terrible". Suddenly I remembered what the "big name" engineer had said… and that's the moment I realized that apathy is contagious, and that the buck stops here.
Sometimes even today I'll get a song to mix and think "Wow those sounds are terrible", or "those performances are really lacking". Who knows why, maybe there were unseen obstacles, maybe someone just didn't care anymore. If I sense that this is affecting my attitude, I immediately remember that "apathy is contagious", and "the buck stops here".
In other words, no matter what I've been handed, if I don't make this song the most fun/compelling/lovable/kick-ass/cool thing, the end listener certainly won't. This realization then brings me full circle to the process I mentioned earlier about finding the intent of the song and the performances and providing them the context in which they all shine.
Clients/Credits: Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts, Information Society, Delirious?, Julianne Moore/The Kills, The Jonas Brothers, Rick Moranis, The Drowning Pool, Boots Riley.
One of the more unusual projects I am currently mixing is a set of long form pieces by Jon Gibson, who is a founding member of the Philip Glass Ensemble, and has performed in: the premier of "In C" by Terry Riley; "Drumming" by Steve Reich; as well as Reich's 1967 composition "Reed Phase", written especially for him.
He uncovered some multitracks of four pieces he recorded in 1980 and 1981 and I am honored to be mixing them now. These tapes are like a time-capsule of the late 1970s New York Minimalist movement: Dense, claustrophobic, and yet so open. Sculptural in composition and texture, they reveal an entirely different way of seeing music, and are possibly more effective today in their stark contrast than they would have been had they been released 34 years ago.
Key Personnel : Kate-O the studio cat, who often assists in gear mods…
Mix Room Hunters: When I came to New York in 2001 the music business was really changing. Labels were extending their payment schedules, some as long as 180 days, and budgets were shrinking. I knew that if I was going to survive these changes I was going to need to have a setup of my own. I lucked into a beautiful room, prewar with 18" thick plaster and lath walls, an incredibly symmetrical layout and nearly acoustically perfect dimensions. I had already amassed a very large collection of outboard gear, more than a lot of studios where I'd mixed. It was time to set up and get to work.
Sound/Design: The most important piece of gear in a mix room is the room itself. My design goal is to make the room as neutral as possible acoustically, as flexible as possible in terms of gear, and maintain a comfortable, inviting and interesting vibe. This is a place where I curate an artist's dreams.
My setup is a hybrid incorporating lots of analog gear as channel and bus inserts in the DAW. The converters I use do not impart a sound of their own, so the sonic signature of each piece of outboard gear is perfectly preserved. I've run several experiments on my system to test the signal degradation after 60 generations round trip through my converters and it's quite impressive how good it still sounds after all those conversions. These results are available on my website.
Choice Pieces: It's hard to single anything out, they're all pieces of a very beautiful puzzle, from my 1967 Blue Stripe (Universal Audio's first solid state compressor) to my many custom pieces, everything contributes to the end result.
I went to school for electrical engineering so most of the gear in my racks has been either designed or at least modified by me, born out of some necessity. A good example is my stereo bus. I spent the first half of my career mixing on SSL and to a lesser extent Neve, consoles. I loved the flexibility and the sound I could get from them, and one of the issues I noticed early on with mixing in digital environment is that there is no "ceiling", especially in a floating-point DAW like Logic, where you have over 1500dB of dynamic range, so I built a "stereo bus" around a pair of Class-A Neve Line amps based on the BA-283 circuit but with UTC and Sowter transformers and calibrated them so that they will actually clip about 0.3dB below the level at which my converters will clip. As a result, the stereo bus responds like a console, you can hear it when you start to push it a bit, but the converters themselves will never clip.
Of special note, I suppose, are my reverbs. There are three that I tend to use most of all, and they're all from the same era: A 1978 Lexicon 224, a 1979 Ursa Major Space Station, and a 1981 Sony DRE2000. At that time the people who worked on these were inventing the form, experimenting in a new frontier of sound. Each of these pieces are so different from the others. I call them "The Wild, The Beautiful, and "The Damned."
DAW(s): Logic. I like to track in Pro Tools, but I find it too restrictive when mixing.
Console/Control Surface: 4 Mackie controllers, 3 MCU and 1 C4 that I use as an autolocator. My control surfaces are hugely important to me. I have 24 physical faders all around me, plus jog wheels and locators. I don't need to look at the screen, I can mix "by ear"… imagine that…!
Monitors: Various sets of custom made monitors, plus those beige Apple M6082 computer speakers from the '90s, though I mainly use the NS-10s I bought new in the 1980s…!
Outboard/Hardware/Tape: As I've mentioned earlier, I have a great variety of outboard gear and I've seamlessly integrated it into my mixing setup. I even wrote a plugin to allow me to compensate the insert latency down to 1/8th of a sample so that I can compensate for the group delay of transformer-coupled gear when parallel processing.
Plugins: Given the large amount of outboard gear I have I tend to use plugins sparingly, and gravitate towards plugins that complement my hardware by performing functions that hardware can't. I've worked with a lot of plugin companies to help improve their products, and spending as much time in the "real world" as I do gives me a valuable perspective. I like to experiment and explore new sounds, I usually wake up every morning with an idea about some process to apply to the molding of a sound, and usually these things show up in the song I'm mixing that day.
Instruments: I'm surrounded by an eclectic collection of instruments here from the Theremin I built ages ago to a Chinese Zhung, and I always have my guitar within arm's reach, useful even during mixing towork out the occasional chordal dilemma.
Assorted Secret Weapons: I have a number of pieces that I use in unusual and unintended ways. For example I have an Aphex Dominator II, which is an extremely precise zero overshoot multiband brickwall limiter. The model I have is the 722, which has a selectable 50 or 75µs pre-emphasis curve for FM broadcast. This creates a very gentle slope starting around 2kHz up to above15kHz. This emphasis happens before the limiters. I run this in parallel to the drum bus and return it at around -30dB. What it does is bring out delicate details in the drums, but as it's brickwalled at -30dB when the drummer starts bashing it doesn't rip your head off.
I also have three very different Dolby racks, a 1966 301 "S/N Stretcher", a 1970s 365 rack (which is 2u and has enormous transformers) with Cat. No 22 Dolby A cards, and a late 1980's 363 rack with SR cards. I use these in parallel on various things in "encode" mode. It's great for bringing out articulation and fullness in a variety of sounds. What the Dolby A process does, for example, in "encode" mode is that it has four EQ bands, an 80Hz low shelf, low mid broad peak (80Hz-3kHz) and two high shelving filters at 3kHz and 9kHz. When the signal drops below -40dB in any of those frequency ranges it starts to increase the gain of those bands, like an automatic "fletcher-munson" curve. If the signal is higher than around- 20-30dB, no gain is applied, the process is completely flat and doesn't touch the signal.
Tune Up: I am constantly exploring ways to refine the acoustics in my room. I occasionally do consulting for other engineers and producers, especially those who have decided to set up in pre-existing spaces.
Small room acoustics are fascinating to me. I have a room measurement setup and whenever I make a change to the room, I listen and listen, make some observations and then measure the changes. At the moment I have around 15 bass traps and 4 polycylindrical diffusors. I have a special set of monitors whose sweet spot is dialed in for listening on the sofa. These are the "client monitors" and it allows the client to hear the mix and make suggestions in a semi-impartial manner from the comfort of the sofa.
For Example: Here is a small cross section of things I have mixed here in the past few years:
Soul Asylum's "Good for You" Produced by Steve Hodge (Flight Tyme), this was a lot of fun to mix, I loved creating the contrast between atmosphere and rock :
The Contact, a Canadian group, simple instrumentation, minimum overdubs, big sound.
Alyson Stoner, just 17 but an incredibly mature artist. Produced by Michael Bland (Prince):
Information Society, 80s techno supergroup making a comeback. Lots of keypexing here, and I created the breakdown after the 1st chorus as an overt nod to their 1st hit single:
Linus of Hollywood. Great artist/producer/writer. I love mixing his records. This one had 108 tracks, but never sounds busy. Genius:
The Suburbs, a great 80s band from Minneapolis, with their 1st new record in 27 years. To preserve their vibe, I didn't use any techniques that wouldn't have been available to a mixer back in 1985:
Jared Tyler, what a voice… I had worked on his first record with producer Russ Titelman in 2003, Jared and I made this one in 2009:
Another from Jared Tyler, I was going for a specific R&B vibe on this one, I think I even Keypexed the Hi-Hats…! Check out Jared's guitar solo, cut DI through his Summit Pre:
Brandon Ross "Costume". One of the first records I mixed in my room. I tracked this at "The Shed" on 27th and 3rd (now a condo…) Ribbon mics on the guitar and drums, u47 on bass.
So You Want To Be A Better Mixer: The most important thing a mixing engineer brings to a project is perspective.
The ability to maintain perspective is a skill that takes years to develop. If you let your perspective slip you may find yourself obsessing over some small detail or fixating on a single aspect of the record. Be aware when this is happening and give yourself a break.
One of the best ways to gain perspective is to study history, whether this means watching "the making of" documentaries or reading "Guns Germs and Steel", nothing calms anxieties like recognizing patterns of human nature in history.
Listen to what the song wants to be. It's all in there. If you don't hear it, keep listening. Let the ideas take you where they want to go.
There is no such thing as an unimportant part.
Don't let a little work stop you from realizing the song's potential.
Mixing is a verb not a noun, it's not how it's dressed, it's how it moves..!
— Chuck Zwicky, Zmix

George Clooney will join wife Amal in Belfast next month for 'hooded men' case and holiday
Hollywood star George Clooney will join his barrister wife Amal when she travels to Belfast next month as part of the legal team representing the so-called 'hooded men'.
As one of the UK's top human rights lawyers, Mrs Clooney, who married her A-list husband last year, will meet some of the men who claim they were tortured by the Army in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.
The group of 14 men have said they were hooded, forced to listen to constant loud static noise, deprived of sleep, food and water, forced to stand in stress positions and beaten if they fell.

Mrs Clooney has worked on some prominent legal cases, with clients including Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder fighting extradition from the UK to Sweden, as well as acting for the Greek government in a campaign for the return of the Elgin Marbles.
It has emerged that as part of the case, she will accuse former Conservative Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath (below) of authorising the torture.
In 1976 the European Commission on Human Rights upheld a complaint by the Irish government that the men had been tortured, a ruling that was later overturned on appeal. The European Court ruled that the men had been subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment, but not torture. In December, the Irish government backed the men's campaign to have the case reopened, stating that their treatment should be recognised as torture after new evidence emerged in British files.
Mrs Clooney was brought on to the case by solicitors Kevin R Winters and Co.
It is expected that her Hollywood heartthrob husband will accompany her to Belfast after he talked about his links to Ireland. His great, great grandfather Nicholas Clooney was from Kilkenny.

He said: "I'm embarrassed that I've never been properly there before now. I've been talking about going there for years and Bono has been trying to get me to do a bike ride around Ireland with him.
"I'm definitely going to make a visit this summer. Amal has been several times, so she can show me around."
The 14 'hooded men' were held under the internment without trial policy in 1971. Techniques used included hooding suspects, putting them into stress positions, sleep deprivation, food and water deprivation and the use of white noise. Some were thrown from helicopters after being told they were high in the air when they were only feet from the ground.

The definition of "addiction" is the state of being enslaved by something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (such as narcotics or gambling – or videogame addiction, I should add nowadays), to such an extent that to discontinue the habit or practice can lead to severe trauma.
In other words, you love something so much that you have developed a habit of using it or playing it to such an extent that not doing so leaves you feeling cranky or nervous, and you are becoming disinterested in other areas of life.
"Take everything in moderation, even World of Warcraft", it states one of the tips during the loading screen of WoW. You may spend some good time, even win money sometimes, but you need to take it in moderation. The same concept is applied to online community games, as known as Mmorpg.
Some experts believe World of Warcraft can be "addictive".
I should add – you do not need to be a graduated to understand that WoW can be addictive, in particular for some "kind" of people.
I have never been a hardcore player during my 5 years of WoW, but I had time while I preferred to play then to go out with friends, for instance.
And sometimes while I was doing something else – working, going out with friends, even in personal situation with my partner (ex now) – I was inside World of Warcraft with my mind.
Now, I definitely think that this could be the beginning of a problem.
You can even be mad without a reason if someone disturb you while playing.
You can stay in front of that screen being your WoW alt for hours, without even noticing that the time is passing by.
What is your record?
Honestly. How much time have you played without ever stopping?
I can say 4-5 hours. But I have heard of people playing continuously for many more hours.
I am sure you know about that news of a 15 years old Swedish boy who died after playing 24 hours straight WoW. Doctors said it was because of the lack of sleep and food.
But there have been more stories of people dying for too long gaming sessions.
In 2004, a 13 years old Chinese boy has reached the death after 36 hours of World of Warcraft.
In 2005, a 28 years old South Korean young man died after playing Starcraft (another game from Blizzard, for the 1% of you who do not know) for 50 hours straight.
Of course these are just sporadic cases, but even playing for few hours is not healthy.
I am sure you even ate many times in front of your laptop or computer, while being online in WoW.
Or when your bladder pressed you so much that you were forced get up from your chair and go to the bathroom (and please do not tell me you brought your laptop into the bathroom while you're sitting on the throne…and I add not The Frozen Throne. Lol).
I have read many sad stories about addicted players failing at class, losing their job, even breaking with their wife or husband (you know that addiction can hit both a man or a woman).
Now please answer to these questions.
Have you ever noticed that the last thing you think before going bed and the first one when you wake up is WoW?
Have you ever felt you could lie to friends, family, your boss, because you wanted play so badly at WoW?
Have a you ever done a funny thing outside WoW, while still thinking and wanting to be inside World of Warcraft?
If you have answered yes to at least one of these questions,
then you should admit you have a problem with WoW.
This may be hard, but accepting that World of Warcraft has taken over your life is the initial step into overcoming your addiction.
Let me help you to quit WoW now for good : give it a shoot with my eBook !

Brain Exercise Games: the Answer for Two-Across as a Means of Alleviating Alzheimer's Disease
When your mother calls you by your brother's name, perhaps it's an honest mistake. When that happens so often that you and your brother agree to swap names to keep from upsetting her, it may be a sign that she is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. This is one neurological condition that doesn't require trauma to the head.
The Alzheimer's Association in its 2011 report estimates that one in eight Americans have this severe case of dementia. Alzheimer's disease can range from forgetting names of loved ones to forgetting why one went inside the bathroom. Unfortunately, this disease only gets worse as the person grows older. It is simply not fun for anyone to forget the people, places, and things he holds dear.
Since a person's memory degenerates with Alzheimer's disease, keeping the brain active can alleviate its effects. Just as a car needs gas to keep running, a person's brain has to be stimulated to maintain proper function. One of the best ways to foster brain activity is playing word games for fun.
Studies have shown that spending a few hours on word games can help stimulate the brain and prevent its relapse. Puzzles such as word hunting, crossword, and Boggle are more than just pastimes for the whole family. These puzzles make people think and there's nothing like a word challenge to get neurons firing.
Researchers describe these puzzles as good exercise routines for your brain. While no physical activity is actually involved, thinking alone is a significant workout for your brain. People of all ages may want to make it a habit to complete some brain exercise games for a few hours daily. A crossword puzzle here or a word hunting game there will be enough.
Alzheimer's disease is a serious mental condition with no known cure as of today. It is better to prevent the disease than to helplessly wait for the symptoms to manifest as you grow older. Brain memory games are the perfect tools for this, as they achieve similar effects as that of pharmaceutical solutions currently in development.
The Alzheimer's Association website at ALZ.org has some resources on the disease and how you can prevent it from happening to you. For brain improvement games you may find intellectually stimulating, go to your local bookstore or newsstand. Keep your brain active and you won't have to worry as much about the risk of a collapsing memory.

2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid Sedan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Technological Marvel
By Houston on
Vehicle2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
ReviewThe Camry Hybrid is a technological marvel enabling more efficient, but safe and comfortable, transportation (reminds me of when CDs replaced records; the hybrid is an ingenious automotive development). The vehicle accelerates well with the combined electric and gas engine. The electric engine works to conserve fuel in all phases of driving (converts kinetic energy to electric). Trunk holds my golf clubs and more. The hybrid is the perfect urban car, thriving on stop-and-go traffic. It is quiet. Relaxed drive. Maintenance on the first 100K miles should be nothing but routine. Drives and looks like a Lexus ES 300, but costs much less. I got a lot of value.
Best FeaturesHybrid system an industry changer! No longer as dependent on the pump. Emissions of the gas engine alone cleaner than Houston air. Relaxing to drive; benefit from stop-and-go traffic. Good acceleration, even from 70mph. JBL stereo & bluetooth (UP upgrade) are great for the $. Leather seats great
Worst FeaturesThe interior is plastic and suede-like on doors & roof; but not a big deal as these are not high wear areas and don't really notice. Little soft in suspension like a Lexus, compared to German sedan, but fine. Can't complain when so much value, reliability and 8 year 100K hybrid component warranty.
