Soundcheck time can be one of the most productive times of the weekend from an audio standpoint. It can also be one of the most frustrating. I have seen soundcheck turn normally mild-mannered and reserved musicians and engineers into angry combatants. My brothers, this should not be. As I've been traveling around helping more churches with their weekend sound issues, I'm amazed at the lack of organization prior to a rehearsal start. Many teams just jump right in and ask for monitor changes pretty much constantly for the next 3 hours. I suggest this is not optimal.
Soundcheck can be very efficient, productive and dare I say fun; but we have to do a little work first. Because there are so many different ways to do a soundcheck (because there are so many different church situations), I'm not going to prescribe one. What I want to do instead is offer a series of suggestions that hopefully apply to all situations, and you can create your own plan. Sound good? Here we go...
Line Check First
Few things will frustrate your musicians more than having to stop soundcheck to troubleshoot a bad cable, DI or patch. Before the band even arrives, go through and line check every single line that you're using. Even if it's the same cable you used last week, in the same channel with the same processing. If it's an active DI, make sure phantom power is on. And don't forget the wireless mics. Make sure those are on and working.
Declare Your Intentions
A few minutes before soundcheck is slated to start, I will get on the stage announce and say something like,
"Hello everyone, good day. We're going to start soundcheck in 2 minutes, so if you could get plugged in, get in place with your ears in and ready to go, it would be great!"
Once we actually start, I'll say something like this, "Hey guys, we're going to go through each channel one at a time so I can get levels. Once you hear the level stop changing, you can set it in your ears (if using personal mixers). If we could have only the instrument I ask for, it will make it go really quickly. Let's start off with the kick." Making sure everyone knows what is coming up will help them stay focused. This is important because as we all know, most musicians are very hard.
Stay Organized
Some like to start from the bottom (drums and bass) and work their way up to the top (vocals). Others work in reverse order. Personally I prefer and normally do the former, but which way you go is up to you, and depends on your situation. Whatever you do, stay organized. Don't start with the kick, then do piano, then guitar, then snare, then vocals, then cymbals. Develop a logical order that works through each instrument and stick with it. Use the same order every week. I suggest you talk through this order with your worship leader in advance as well, just to make sure what you're doing works for the musicians as well.
Normally, it's a simple matter of getting organized, staying organized and working through a set process quickly and efficiently. Before you start, make sure you are ready. As I mentioned before, your board should be labeled and everything should be working. Now let's get to it.
The Drum Set
I changed the way I do drums a few years back, and I've been pretty happy with this new method. I start with the kick, get that dialed in, then add snare. Once the snare is sounding good with the kick, I'll add hat. Same deal. I like to get those three locked up and feeling right before moving on. I'll then do the toms, usually asking for a hit on hi, mid, low, hi, mid, low until I have the levels balanced and feeling right. Then it's a quick hit on cymbals before asking the drummer to play a groove on the whole kit. When the drummer is playing the whole thing, I can make some final balance adjustments and get the drums sounding like a single instrument.
Work Quickly, With the Big Picture in Mind
What you want to do during soundcheck is get the levels dialed in to roughly where everything should sit in the mix. You might do some quick EQ and on drums perhaps tweak the gate or comp. But do it quickly. No one wants to hear the drummer hitting quarter notes on the snare for 15 minutes. Ideally, you've paid attention to where your gate and comp settings should be and have already preset them so you're only tweaking. Same goes for gains, if you can manage it (digital consoles are great in this regard). If you have 30 minutes for soundcheck and you spend 25 getting the drums dialed in, it will be tough to take care of the rest of the band in the remaining five minutes. Get things close and move on. You can always come back and tweak settings after rehearsal gets underway.
Pre-Build Monitor Mixes
If you're mixing monitors from FOH (and even if you aren't), it's not a bad idea to pre-build some rough monitor mixes before you start. I knew most of my vocalists well enough to know roughly what they liked in their monitors from week to week, so I normally started a mix before they got there. Then it's a simple matter of tweaking. It also really helps musicians through the soundcheck process if they can hear themselves right away. Start with the gains and monitors a little lower than you think you'll need, and work up.
Get the Vocals to Sing
There are few things as unhelpful during soundcheck than having vocalists speaking, "Check 1,2..Testing HaaShiii." Guitar players constantly noodling is a close second, followed by drummers who are still trying work out the drum solo from YYZ..
I like to have all the vocals sing a chorus of a song while I dial in gains. We've told our vocal team, don't worry about your monitor mix just yet, simply sing. Usually we'll have the piano or guitar play along for pitch, but that should be the only other sound besides vocals. Have them keep looping until you have their levels dialed in. Of course, starting with rough gains and monitors makes this go faster.
You'll notice a consistent theme running through this post; get things ready beforehand. The start of soundcheck is not the time to be peeling out the board tape and labeling the desk. By the time the band is set up, you should have completely line-checked, roughed in your gains and pre-built rough monitor mixes. Starting from scratch can be a good thing once in a while, but if you know roughly where things end up each week, starting a little below that makes things go a lot faster.
We had our soundcheck down to about 20-25 minutes, and that's a full band with 2-3 vocal monitor mixes. Soundcheck doesn't have to be a painful process. Take some time to develop a system that works well for you, pre-build as much as possible, then communicate clearly to the band. Soon you'll find it going more smoothly and both you and the band will have more time for rehearsal.
Thanks Guys and always remember to keep the creativity perfected.

Other Reviews….
Made at Giaconda from Pinot Noir fruit sourced in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Powerful nose of black fruits and undergrowth. The palate is rich; long with savoury spicy flavours; sweet fruit and some obvious minerality. This is concentrated and structured; balanced with a subtle but obvious tannin finish. Try this one for our version of Yarra Valley pinot.

HOWTO: Serviio 1.3.1 for Zyxel NSA325
This is tested on a Zyxel NSA325 with firmware 4.61.
All packages and links below are valid as of 2013-10-02 and are the most up-to-date packages at this time.
This step borrows from this guide with full credits and acknowledgement to "burbulence" which can be found here:
http://forum.nas-central.org/viewtopic. ... 881#p68765
in the way that I have installed the packages described in that guide before trying to install Serviio 1.3.
Full credits and acknowledgement goes to "DeanoX" on his guide for Serviio 1.1 which can be found here:
This is simply an updated version of that guide and also using it as a base for this guide.
With this being said you should be able to simply use this guide from top to bottom and come out clean with a good install even though you haven't done anything (like installing FFP) before reading this.
1) Install FFP 0.7
Source: http://zyxel.nas-central.org/wiki/FFP_as_zypkg [somewhat modified instructions below]
First off I'll describe how to install FFP 0.7 as a package.
This assumes that you have already setup your NAS and installed HDD(s) etc.
- Download "Filezilla Client" and install it
- File -> Site Manager -> New Site and select:
Host: Your NAS IP (ex. 192.168.1.1)
Protocol: FTP
Logon type: Ask for password
User: admin
(Default password for the NSA325 is "1234" if you have not changed it)
Click "Connect"
(You can name this connection "NSA325 – FTP" for easier reference later on)
- Enter ftp://ftp.zyxel-tech.de/2.new_mirror/NSA325/4.40/zypkg/ in your browser and click "Save file as" on "web_prefix" and download it into the "/admin/zy-pkgs" folder on your NAS.
- Enter your NAS ip address in your browser and login as admin
- Go into NSA325 -> System Settings -> Firmware/Packages -> Package and click "Retrieve List From Internet"
- You should now see a package called "ffp"
- Click to select it and then "Install/Upgrade" and then "Apply" with all other settings default.
- After the installation you should see a link at the far right under "Management Page", click it.
It should read "Congratulations with installing FFP on your nas."
2) Add site definitions
Install uwsiteloader on FFP 0.7
Sources: FFP management page,
http://nas-tweaks.net/373/uwsiteloader- ... _plug-0-7/
- Download PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)
(PuTTY is a single .exe file that does not need installation so please put it into your program folder and make a shortcut to your desktop in order to not accidently delete it)
- Start the program
- Enter your NAS IP (ex. 192.168.1.1) as "Host Name", be sure to check that "SSH" is selected and click "Open" (you can enter a name under "Saved Sessions" and then "Save" to have an easy shortcut to this)
- A warning will appear, click "Yes" (no need to get into explaining this)
- login as: "root", password is your admin password. (the program does not move the cursor when you enter your password, simply enter it and press enter)
- You should see "Welcome to FFP…" etc. and be logged in.
- Disable telnet for security reasons by entering:
"/ffp/start/telnetd.sh stop"
"chmod a-x /ffp/start/telnetd.sh" (Pasting is done in putty via left click)
- Enter:
"wget http://wolf-u.li/u/441 -O /ffp/bin/uwsiteloader.sh" (Should see "uwsiteloader.sh saved")
"chmod a+x /ffp/bin/uwsiteloader.sh"
- Press "Yes" to update UW Site Loader and then "OK"
- Check all sites (click with your mouse or press space to select) and press "OK" and then "OK"
3) Install ffmpeg / lame ffp packages
"slacker -ui" and:
install mz:lame-3.99.5-arm-1.txz
install uli:ffmpeg-1.2.1-arm-1.txz
4) Install Java
Source: Serviio Forum (see above) +
http://nas-tweaks.net/419/installation- ... -fun_plug/
- Go to this site:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html
- Accept the license agreement (by clicking the radiobutton)
- Download the following file on the site:
- Register for an account if needed
- Run (in PuTTy) which creates a "java" folder
mkdir -p /ffp/opt/java
- Using FileZilla upload the file to the folder you create above
- Run (in PuTTy)
cd /ffp/opt/java #Changes directory
tar xvf ejre-7u40-fcs-b43-linux-arm-sflt-headless-27_aug_2013.tar #Unzips the folder
rm ejre-7u40-fcs-b43-linux-arm-sflt-headless-27_aug_2013.tar #Removes the .tar file
!!! ln -s ejre1.7.0_40 #Creates a link to the unpacked dir !!! PROBABLY NOT NEEDED
- Using FileZilla go into the ejre1.7.0_40 folder and move all contents into the folder above (/ffp/opt/java) and then delete the ejre1.7.0_40 folder.
- Run:
chmod 777 java in /ffp/opt
echo "export PATH=/ffp/opt/java/bin:\$PATH" >> /ffp/etc/profile.d/java.sh
chmod a+x /ffp/etc/profile.d/java.sh
#Line above and below permanently puts it into the environment variables
- Download "java.sh" from "/ffp/etc/profile.d" and edit it to only include:
"export PATH=/ffp/opt/java/bin:$PATH
" and save and upload/overwrite.
- Restart your NAS
- Run (in PuTTy)
java -version #Checks if it works
Return should be = "java version "1.7.0_40""
5) Install Serviio
- Run (in PuTTy)
cd /ffp/opt #Changes directory
wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/se ... nux.tar.gz #Downloads Serviio 1.3.1
tar xfvz serviio-1.3.1-linux.tar.gz #Extracts the compressed folder
rm serviio-1.3.1-linux.tar.gz #Removes the compressed file
cd /ffp/opt/serviio-1.3.1 #Changes directory
chmod a+w library #Changes permissions
mkdir log #Creates directory
chmod a+w log #Changes permissions
chmod a+w plugins #Changes permissions
cd /ffp/opt
ln -s /ffp/opt/serviio-1.3.1 serviio
!!! mkdir /ffp/tmp !!! PROBABLY NOT REQUIRED SINCE FFP ALREADY HAS A "TMP" FOLDER, CMD NOT ENTERED
6) Make Serviio startup script
Open up "Notepad ++" and paste the following, be sure to fix EOL-Conversion, "Edit->EOL Conversion->Unix/OSX Format". Save this as "serviiod.sh" in "/ffp/start" (with FileZilla) and then run (in PuTTy) "chmod a+x serviiod.sh":
- Code:
# FFP Startup script for Serviio
test -x $EXEC || exit 0
case "$1" in
echo "Starting Serviio"
# set required JAVA home environment variable
export JAVA_HOME
# Use the normal serviio.sh script to ensure correct environment is set up
if start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --make-pidfile --background --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $EXEC -- $OPTS; then
echo "OK"
echo "Failed"
echo "Stopping Serviio"
# Kill both serviio.sh script and Java process
serv_kill=`ps aux | grep serviio.sh | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
java_kill=`ps aux | grep org.serviio.MediaServer | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "$serv_kill" = "" ]; then
echo "Serviio shell is not running"
kill $serv_kill
if [ "$java_kill" = "" ]; then
echo "Serviio Java is not running"
kill -9 $java_kill
echo "OK"
serv_pid=`ps aux | grep serviio.sh | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
java_pid=`ps aux | grep java | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "$serv_pid" != "" ]; then
echo "Serviio shell (pid $serv_pid) is running"
echo "Serviio shell is stopped"
if [ "$java_pid" != "" ]; then
echo "Serviio Java (pid $java_pid) is running"
echo "Serviio Java is stopped"
exit 0
7) Edit Serviio script (NOT the newly created script above)
- Use FileZilla and download "serviio.sh" from "/ffp/opt/serviio/bin/"
- Edit the file with Notepad ++ and find "JAVA_OPTS" and change it to:
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dderby.system.home=$SERVIIO_HOME/library -Dserviio.fixedPointEncoders -Dserviio.defaultTranscodeFolder=/ffp/tmp -Dserviio.home=$SERVIIO_HOME"

Source: http://www.serviio.org/component/conten ... e?id=21#q2
- Download Serviio of your choice:
http://www.serviio.org/download (ex. choose Windows if you are running in a Windows version)
- Install and uncheck "Serviio Server" so you only install "Serviio Console"
- Go into the install folder of "Serviio Console" then the folder "bin" and edit the "ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions"-file with Notepad ++, add:
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your NAS IP-address for ex: 192.168.1.1)
then save and exit and start the console.
You MIGHT need to press CTRL+ALT+DEL and manually close the process for the console and then start it again.
You will see if it runs if you go into the "Serviio Console" folder and then the subfolder "Log".
Start the program and go into the tab "Library" and then "Add local" using the following path (for a system using a single HDD):
Ex: I have all my videos in /i-data/md0/video divided into .../video/tv-shows and .../video/movies.
Those two folders (tv-shows and movies) are the ones I've added.
RECOMMENDED IN THE ORIGINAL GUIDE: Do not let the NAS generate thumbnails since it tasks the NAS too much.
Under "Status" and then "Renderer Profile" you can see your discovered devices, click where it says "Generic DLNA Profile" and select the best option suited for you (if not the default one works out). Ex. I have a F-series Samsung TV and I selected "Samsung TV / player (C/D/E/F-series).'
To enter the webinterface enter:
you will first need to set a password in "Serviio Console" under the tab "Remote"
Hope it works for you as well, check it out and if you can improve this or have suggestions etc. then please let me know.
As stated in the start of this "HowTo" it is based on "DeanoX" guide for Serviio 1.1 which can be found here:

Welcome to retail returns season: the first few months of the year when ugly sweaters, problematic consumer electronics, noisy toys and ill-fitting shoes make their way back to retailers or manufacturers with few or no questions asked. This season in particular brought higher return rates due to record-breaking online spending (e-commerce return rates are double that of brick-and-mortar stores) and heightened consumer expectations of relaxed cross-channel return policies.
Though much of the returned merchandise will be in functionally and cosmetically perfect condition, putting it back on store shelves is logistically and financially inefficient. In most cases—especially in the case of open-box, used, defective, damaged or seasonal items—it's better to liquidate this inventory and recover as much as you can. Here is when having a proper liquidation solution in place can make a major difference to your bottom line.

If you are considering attending an NRA Carry Guard training course, or any firearm class for that matter, it is time to think about how you are going to feed your handgun. A great deal of information must be absorbed during a two- or three-day training course; the experience can be like drinking from a fire hose for many students. Add in potential for heat, sun exposure and more physically rigorous activity than you may be accustomed to, and it can all be pretty overwhelming. Under such circumstances, the last thing we want to worry about is constantly loading and topping off magazines.
The Range Equipment Requirements for the NRA Carry Guard Basic and Intermediate courses recommend a minimum of four magazines. Four magazines will certainly get the job done, but you will find yourself doing a great deal of loading in between drills. When I began attending firearms courses more regularly, and shooting handguns competitively, I quickly invested in a quantity of magazines that would allow me the leisure of resting, drinking water or taking in instruction while on the range, rather than the constant chore of charging magazines. This one-time purchase has more than paid dividends during long, hot range sessions. These days, when I attend a class, I bring a minimum of 10 15-round magazines along.
So how many magazines should you bring? I cannot answer that for you but I will offer a few points for you to consider. The fewer rounds that your handgun holds, the more magazines you should bring. If you are shooting a 1911 or a compact single-stack pistol that holds 10 rounds or fewer, I would certainly consider bringing more than the recommended four magazines. Your own budget will dictate how many magazines you can afford, but in the context of training, magazines are a relatively inexpensive piece in the puzzle and last virtually forever.
There is another reason to bring multiple magazines to a class: malfunctions. The most-frequent causes of malfunctions in semi-automatic firearms are ammunition- and magazine-related. Aftermarket magazines are the most frequent offenders, but no brand is completely immune. If you only bring four magazines to a class and one is causing issues, you now only have three functional mags. Test all of your magazines ahead of time to ensure that they work properly. Many shooters, myself included, use craft store paint pens to mark and number each magazine. My initials help ensure that my mags don't end up in someone else's range bag, and the number helps me identify magazines that aren't working properly. How will you know which magazine is causing repeated malfunctions if it is not marked? If your magazines are too valuable to mark, perhaps you should re-evaluate your choice of defensive firearm.
There is one other point to consider on this topic: the process of loading the magazines themselves. When I bought my first Glock handgun many years ago, I wondered why a magazine loading tool was included in the package—Glock magazines aren't particularly difficult to load. A few years later, when I took my first defensive handgun course, I quickly dug through my range bag until I found that loading tool. For many of us who rarely shoot more than 50 or 100 rounds during a range session, loading several hundred rounds per day can be a real workout for the thumbs. There are several magazine loading tools on the market; consider adding one to your range bag and practice using it before attending a class. Your hands will thank me.
As a proud concealed carrier, I've taken my fair share of training courses. NRA Carry Guard's Level 1 program, which I had the privilege of taking earlier this year, was by far the best.
It doesn't take long in the contemporary firearms community before you lose the notion of the "average" or "normal" shooter.

Our advice always considers risk exposure, the various stages of outstanding liabilities and client tolerances, and lifestyle.
Probate Administration
After a death of a family member, we compassionately help survivors sort and prioritize the various perceived and actual demands from creditors, the IRS and other family members. Our goal is to timely and effectively wind-down the personal affairs of a loved one. Our solutions include managing family members' expectations, negotiating with creditors, providing notices as required by law, marshalling property and managing various tax elections. In other words, we handle the complexities of estate administration so survivors can attend to important matters of family and adjusting priorities.

We help clients gain a realistic understanding of the emotional issues involved in healthcare planning, including addressing family dynamics, beliefs, and values.

One effective, and regularly deployed technique is to cause family members, who are expected to cause problems, to weigh their actions to the loss of future inheritance. Our ultimate aim is toward enforcing our clients' healthcare decisions, and to keep them out of the mess of guardianship court, whenever possible.
Prenuptial Agreements
We provide clarity and vision to our clients seeking to protect their assets in cohabitation and prenuptial situations.

A Christmas Story: Thai Style
Roam Wild Blog - Thailand teach abroad, TESOL 0
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the holidays are a really special time for me, and spending it away from home has been really hard. And yet, I'm in Thailand, how can I complain?! While I did miss home, there was no use in sulking, I had to make the most with what I have.
This year, by all accounts, was a very Thai Christmas. By definition, my presence in Thailand during the Christmas holiday makes it a Thai Christmas, however, Christmas was also Thai because the way that everything happened was all just so very, well…. Thai.
Our school has a huge party on Christmas Day every year. There is an assembly with a variety of different performances and the students make elaborate decorations out of recycled materials. Despite the 100+ degree weather outside, it was still beginning to really feel like Christmas. The decorations were coming together, the foreign English teachers had put together an awesome dance/lip sync performance that we were going to perform for the students and I finally started to feel that excited anticipation. And then they gave me my costume.
Um. It's super cute and I rocked it. But like……………….. I felt so awkward! I teach middle schoolers and high schoolers! School dress code requires teachers to cover the knees, shoulders and armpits at school. And now I'm dressed like slutty Santa in front of high schoolers at my place of work and they're going to make me dance. But if nobody else thinks it's weird, I figured I'd just go with it. Own it.
The assembly was great! The kids and the teachers put in a ton of effort and it showed! There was a nativity play, dance performances, a Mr. and Mrs. Claus contest (on which I have no idea what the criteria was),
and a contest for the best trees between the sophomore and junior classes.
In true Thai fashion, after a few hours of assembly the students just left. We never got to perform our lip sync song that we had worked so hard on. But at least we didn't have to embarrass ourselves!
That evening was the staff party at which the English department (both foreign and Thai English teachers) were putting on a performance. Of this we were informed one day in advance of our mandatory participation. We were to perform a dance that started off as a traditional Thai dance and transitioned into J Lo sexy dancing (also so very Thai). We rocked it. There was drinking, dancing, eating, karaoke, and merriment. (Also it cost 500 bath to be there, which we weren't told, but whatever, I'm over it).
Since it was Christmas, I had made plans to spend it with my TESOL family in Bangkok. Thai scheduling being what it is (nonexistent), I ended up missing two buses because the last minute mandatory performance. While I was anxious to get to Bangkok to see my friends, it's a bummer the party had to coincide with my trip because I would've loved to stay and watch the night unfold. Each department put together a fun performance and I heard there were some good ones!
I finally arrived in Bangkok and to Carly's apartment at 1:30 am where at least I was able to Skype with my family back home.
Christmas weekend in Bangkok was incredible! It was my first ever trip to the big city and it did not disappoint. We went ice skating, I met some Italian backpackers, and I was surrounded by people who spoke English! Christmas displays lined the streets and it made me feel right at home again.
But above all else, civilization means one very important thing- western food. I was able to fill the giant fajita shaped hole in my heart (and stomach)
and also came across my favorite spot in Bangkok. Artbox.
Artbox is a pop-up night market that appears in various locations around the city. It has a cute artsy vibe without being overly hipster. The stalls stray from the regular touristy items and focus more on trendy widgets, local designers, and vintage fashion. There are bars, live music and incredible food vendors.
We drank beer and browsed the stands bracing ourselves for our caloric but, well-earned meals. Mother Truckers, a food truck rumored to be the best burger in Bangkok, was my final decision. And holy cow was it good. A beef patty with bacon, an onion ring, various delicious burger toppings and what I'm deciding to call garlic aioli. Heaven.
For New Years, I decided I wanted it to be a little quieter and cheaper. I'm in Thailand, right? So why not head to the beach! After a night in Bangkok greeting those who came to stay for NYE, I headed out early on NYE morning to Koh Samet, which isn't too far from Bangkok. Being located so far north it is apparently "the ugliest" of the Thai islands.
Well, if this is the ugliest, I CANNOT WAIT to head down south because holy crap, it's beautiful!
It was a weekend full of sun and sand. One afternoon we took a speedboat out, cruising the island and snorkeling along the way. It was a perfect way to break in my Christmas present- a shiny new GoPro from Mom and Dad. <3
While family, traditions and Christmas cookies will always trump everything else around the holidays; there is no denying that this was still a pretty great one. It may be a total 180 from what I'm used to, but isn't that why I left home in the first place? While Thai organization and communication will never be something they excel at, their boundless curiosity and their incredible creativity really shone through. Being here was an irreplaceable and unique experience. It tested my patience to the bitter end but Thailand continues to show me that if I give it a chance, different isn't always so bad.

by Patricia Morrow, Windham Town Historian
Originally published in the April 7, 2005, issue of the Windham Journal.
Local veterans of the Spanish-American War and World War I met
in 1928 to form a Veterans of Foreign Wars post on the Mountain Top. Twenty-nine
were in attendance when they selected the name Catskill Mountain Post and
elected the following officers: James W. Francis, commander; Lloyd L. Peck,
senior vice-commander; Joseph A. McArdle, junior vice-commander; Grant F. Morse,
chaplain; Alfred T. Seeley, officer of the day; August B. Schippell, adjutant;
Charles H. Littmann, quartermaster; James F. Carty, color sergeant; Raymond
Barlow and Roland E. Miles color guards; Arthur F. Khuen and Edward B. Steele,
color bearers; and Sherwood O'Brien, bugler. The remaining charter members were
Stanley Barlow, Stephen Bernhard, Arthur Blakeslee, John Cleveland, Leonard L.
Cook, Darwin DeLong, John G. Leger, Paul Mattoon, Valentine W. Morrow, George
Muller, Donald F. Munson, Arthur A. Nelson, Raymond C. Rivenburg, Byron S.
Smith, Clarence Van Valkenburgh and John Zegel.
Catskill Mountain Post No. 1545, VFW of Windham was instituted on February 21, 1928, and the highly decorated Sergeant James F. Carty was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff of Greene County. Meetings were held twice a month in the Windham Masonic Temple. During their first year the VFW purchased and renovated Kelly's sawmill at the western end of Windham Village, nicknaming it "The Dugout".
On November 28, 1929, charter member James F. Carty died in the Kingston City Hospital. At their next meeting the men voted to rename the post in his honor upon securing the consent of his family and the National Headquarters. On May 24, 1930, the name of the post was officially changed to Sgt. James F. Carty, D.S.C. Post No. 1545, VFW.
Sergeant Carty was buried in Ashland's Pleasant Valley Cemetery where a bronze plaque attached to a rock bears this inscription:
In Memory of

A fashion ad film on the modern bride, directed by National Award winner Onir
According to wedding wear designer Anita Dongre, the modern Indian bride doesn't have to play the coy damsel-in-distress anymore.
She wants to free her from convention, and this becomes the predominant theme in the brand's autumn/winter '13-14 fashion ad film, shot in Dongre's hometown Jaipur.
Directed by National Award winner Onir and shot by fashion photographer R Burman, the film is built around the designer's fictional muse, a lithe beauty of royal lineage called Nayantara.
The slender bride-to-be, played by model Jyothsna Chakravarthy, lazes around Jaipur's Samode Palace in only the finest Indian bridal wear. But this bride also shops online for her betrothed, via her iPad. She drives her own jeep and -- perhaps even more unconventionally -- is shown to casually sip her red wine, no company necessary.
After all the regressive imagery of Indian brides bundled into 20-kilo lehengas, eyes cast demurely at the floor, Dongre gives us a modern muse we can connect with in 2013.
Don't miss the glimpse of Nayantara's tattoo peeking out from under her neon lehenga choli!

Print Recipe
Add a teaspoon of Cointreau to your recipe mix
For the cheesecake:
For the cheesecake, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a 23cm/9in springform cake tin.
Cut a circle from the sponge flan case to fit the base of the tin, then cut this circle in half across the middle to make two thin discs. Use one of these to line the cake tin - the other disc can be used in another dish. Drizzle the sponge with one tablespoon of the orange liqueur.
Mix together the sugar, orange zest and juice and cornflour in a bowl using a wooden spoon, then use an electric hand mixer to beat in the cream cheese. Crack in the eggs one by one, beating constantly until all the eggs are well incorporated.
Add the vanilla seeds and the remaining two tablespoons of orange liqueur to the mixture and mix well. Add the cream and beat well until the mixture is smooth.
Pour a third of the mixture over the sponge base in the cake tin. Sprinkle over a third of the chocolate pieces and smooth over with a palette knife. Repeat twice more with the remaining cheesecake mixture and chocolate pieces.
Place the tin into a baking tray filled with 2-3mm of warm water - this helps to create steam during cooking. Transfer to the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool and set completely before removing from the tin.
For the marbled chocolate:
Meanwhile, for the marbled chocolate, place the white chocolate and dark chocolate into separate heatproof bowls set over pans of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.
Cover a baking tray tightly in cling film. Pour ladlefuls of the dark and white chocolate onto the tray. Allow to cool slightly, then use your finger to swirl the two chocolates together to create a marble effect. Place into the fridge to chill and set completely. When set, break into pieces.
To serve, cut the cheesecake into wedges and place onto serving plates with a piece of the marbled chocolate and a drizzle of cream.

There's currently a big debate in the UK in the run up to a referendum on EU membership on Thursday 23rd June 2016.
It's clear from the debate so far that there is a fair amount of confusion about what the EU actually is, and how EU democracy works. I've been working on EU environmental policy for over 15 years, so I've got a fair bit of experience in how it works.
The EU is unique in the world, as it is both a free trade area but also a region with many common environmental and social standards. In order to do this the EU must agree laws and policies.
EU laws are agreed by a democratic process:
- For most laws the European Commission proposes the law (usually after a request from governments), then the elected European Parliament and elected national governments discuss and agreeing the final shape of the law.
- Secondary legislation – such as a ban on a specific pesticide – is usually done through a different procedure, where national governments have much more power than the European parliament.
Within the EU there is also the Eurozone, sharing a common currency. The Eurozone also has some specific governance structures, and the European Parliament has limited powers over it (which I think is probably a problem). The UK isn't in the Eurozone.
It's worth noting that elected national governments are the most powerful players at EU level. Each of these governments should be accountable to their populations, and to national parliaments.
In many areas only a 'qualified majority' of national governments need to support a measure for it to happen. Unanimity is required for treaty changes, trade deals, enlargement allowing new countries into the EU etc. For example, all EU countries would have to support the accession of Turkey into the EU, or the signing of a trade deal like the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Almost all enforcement of EU legislation occurs within the Member States., though a small number of regulations are enforced at EU level, notably competition law.
To learn more:
See the more detailed pages on this blog – What is the EU?, How does the EU work? and How are laws created and enforced?
- Twitter is a very effective way of keeping up to date with EU news, once you find the right people. Quite a few MEPs tweet (UK MEP twitter list here), as do Commissioners, most NGOs and journalists. You could start by following me – @mwarhurst.
- European Commission has an introduction to the EU on their web site.
- Free EU policy news sources: Euractiv & Politico.eu
- Wikipedia has good articles on the European institutions, for example a comprehensive set of articles about MEPs & the Parliament:
- Talk to people involved in EU policymaking. Most people in the 'Brussels bubble' are very keen to explain what is going on and help you engage.

Series Cast & Crew
Main Cast
- Ezekiel "Ghost" Fulton
- A Rambo-esque figure abandoned on Hera during the Battle of Serenity Valley long after the Independents surrendered to the Alliance, Zeke lived off the dirt and rocks for months before he finally escaped the planet. He worked as a guide for a time, until fate intervened and he fell in with the crew.
- Jeff Cohen
- Jeff Cohen is a genius mechanic who wasted his gift building useless machines and hoarding gadgets. "I know it's broken, I'll get to it. Did you see the output if I reroute 3% power from the grav-belt?"
- Quinton Williams
- When the Browncoats surrendered, ace pilot Quinton Williams wasn't ready to give up the fight. Now he and his allies continue to wage war with a much more personal touch.
- Randy Randerson
- "Rando" ran Browncoat blockades during the war delivering dirty, little Alliance secrets, but he's a true mercenary who will take any job from any lowlife, if the price is right.
Supporting Cast
- The Boat
- The players still need to name this light duty transport ship.
- Miscellaneous Crew
- (one per PC?) Anyone who regularly stays behind with the boat; a co-pilot, the cook, a gambler, a valet, a guard dog, etc.
Guest Starring
- Badger
- Calling Badger a psychotic lowlife is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community, but he's a well-established, could-be gentleman criminal who works out of Eavesdown Docks on Persephone.
- Wing Kong Exchange
- The Wing Kong Exchange is the name given to a loosely-affiliated black market smuggling network that operates on the edge of the border planets and some planets throughout the rim. The Alliance would love to shut down the Wing Kong Exchange, but for every smuggler or slaver they manage to remove from circulation, another immediately fills the opening. Aspects: Black Marketeers, Amoral, Security by Obscurity
- Black Lotus
- While the Wing Kong Exchange is a morally neutral entity, the Black Lotus crime family, whose connection to the network is widely known but completely unclear, is not. Bound by no principle but honor, they will take any job and forgive no slight. Aspects: Criminal Network, Dark Past, Honor Among Thieves
- General Tso
- General Tso is a cruel, decorated war hero turned Union of Allied Planets politician. There are dozens of exaggerated stories depicting his bravery and his deeds, but none stands out more than gassing an entire settlement to set a trap for retreating Independents, who his men proceeded to slaughter to the last. Though widely circulated among the Browncoats, the story never caught on with Alliance sympathizers and most regard it to be a matter of fake news and propaganda. Aspects (known): War Criminal, Secret Coward, Vast Resources

Nina sent in her interview in February of this year and between moving, traveling and living in our car for four months, and then having our own wedding celebration to plan, things just got away from us and with best intentions of posting this lovely photographer's profile months and months and months ago, it unfortunately never happened. And I am very upset at myself right now for overlooking it for so long! Please forgive us Nina!
So, without further ado, I present to you Nina Barron, of N~Grace Photography, based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Nina is the sole owner of her business and focuses on weddings, lifestyle, and portrait photography. She is a Nikon girl, and shoots manual in not only both JPEG and RAW, but she also often shoots with both eyes open 🙂 She thinks that might be weird, but leave a comment if you also shoot this way! (I know I can't keep one eye closed for an entire 8 hour wedding day! Plus I make really weird grimacing faces when I try to keep one eye closed.) Her favorite actions are Kubota's Magic Sharp, and The NEW BW Midbright.
Describe the moment you decided it was time to pursue this as a career?
I've always had a passion for photography but in 2009 I took a photography class and was so inspired by the professionals in the class that I decided I too could take my love of photography to another level. So I did, and that is what planted the seed to this idea of creating a business, N~Grace Photography.
24-70mm, 62mm, 200iso, 1/250, f/3.5
Be true to yourself.
Well, what makes anyone different? I think it is my personality. No two people are exactly the same and I'll admit I can be very shy and soft spoken at times (which in my opinion makes me very different from most photographers because so many of them are very outgoing) however, I am so in love with what I do! I love capturing the essence of real life and real relationships. I want to capture emotional moments – the good, the bad, and the ugly – during portrait sessions sometimes you have the occasional disagreement between husband and wife or parents and children; I like to capture the real, so I may snap a few shots of your unpleasant expressions and hope that you will be able to laugh about it years from now. Everyone has a story and I want to capture it, the way it is told.
35mm, 100iso, 1/125, f/2.2
Ah man, just one?! Her name is Vida Carson, (http://vidacarson.com/blog) I absolutely adore her photos!
I'm gonna go with the keys to my car loL
He is so adorable isn't he? I don't have any real explanation, I just love this picture.
18-55mm, 55mm. 250iso, 1/125, f/5.6
What a wonderful website! I think this is such a great community for photographers – to draw inspiration, meet other photographers, and learn some valuable information.
"Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom – You have to just read it for yourself.
"Love and Basketball" (along with "The Notebook" and "Eat. Pray. Love")
I actually listen to Pandora as I work, on the "Amel Larrieux" station. So calming 🙂
Blogs, Magazines, but for the most part as I shoot, I am inspired by the relationships shown naturally by the clients.
My clients! I know this sounds so cliche but "without you I wouldn't be where I am today" loL…seriously though, I mean that. The clients I have are the value of my business. They are the ones that support my business and I don't just mean financially; when I started this business a year ago I was very unsure of how I would be able to succeed and of course I don't feel that I've "succeeded" yet, but they support my work by wanting to be photographed by me and recommending me to others. They show me love by supporting what I do and I am forever grateful.
I haven't yet, I've only used assistants thus far.
Just send me an email (email@example.com) I'd love to have you as a second shooter!
Jasmine Star or Jamie Delaine
I am still in the process of jumping through hoops. But the first thing I had to do was buy my equipment, which was a jump in itself loL I also talked to established photographers who were successful with their businesses and asked how they got started. Actually, I interned with a local photographer for about 4 or 5 months before I really got started with N~Grace Photography.
If you want to be a photographer, go out and shoot, learn the basics (aperture, iso, and shutter speed), talk to other photographers, ask questions! HOWEVER, if you want to start a business, remember knowing how to properly take a picture is only half the work. You need to know how to run a successful business! Do your research, ask other small business owners, take a class or two on budgeting, marketing, etc. If this is what you want to do, understand what you need to do but remember to have fun 🙂
Nothing creative, sad to say. But I did just get this wonderful idea from Brian Jones' (http://www.idreamimages.com) interview: connecting with my local jewelry store and offer a complementary engagement session every time someone buys an engagement ring! Thanks Brian 🙂
24-70mm, 62mm, 200iso, 1/160, f/3.5
The only advertising I've done is post my pictures on my facebook profile, fan page, and website. All of my clients have come from word of mouth, whether it be from someone who is a fan or friend of mine on facebook or someone who has been photographed by me before. So I'm not really against advertising, I just haven't paid for it.
Honestly, I just make sure I take pictures of them – pictures of the DJ in action, pictures of the venue itself, the flowers, cake, etc. I'll get a card or contact information from each vendor and send or e-mail them pictures from that night with a personal note/greeting attached and my contact information.
24-70mm, 48mm, 200iso, 1/2500, f2.8
Shoot an event, start the editing process, blog about the event (about a week after the event) posting a few favorite photos, once all the editing is done upload the pictures to a private online gallery, contact the client, send them their products.

This is a blog on what the title above says. They're related subjects and ones I'm especially interested in.
My name is Brian Rush. I'm a fantasy writer and have been since I was 15 years old, and that was quite a while back. It's a compulsive thing in my life. I must write; if I don't, I become depressed. Recently, I've finished four fantasy novels that I thought good enough to publish; pages for each one will be added at some point (this site is a work in progress).
What I want to do here is explore the connection between fantasy storytelling and myth, and by way of myth with spirituality. A myth is a story that relates to spirituality by way of metaphor. Myths usually aren't literally true; even when they are, their literal truth isn't what's important about them. The story they tell stirs something in our depths, and helps us to connect on an emotional, intuitive, and ultimately a spiritual level with something greater than ourselves. Since there is no reason why a myth has to be literally true, or pretend to be, an author of fantasy fiction is in a perfect position to express this mythical truth, if he or she is aware of that truth to start with.
Other things about me, if anyone's interested: I live in California at the moment but find my heart drawn to an island in the Mediterranean where I intend to pay a long visit as soon as that is feasible and perhaps move there permanently. I've lived on the American West Coast since 1978, when I migrated to Seattle as a refugee from Texas. I have lived in Northern California since 1996. I make my living presently by writing, editing, and ghostwriting on a freelance contract basis. My long-term ambition, of course, is to live by telling tales. (You can find links to explore my books on other pages of this blog here and here, and of course I'd be delighted if you did!)
Other things will come out in the course of writing the posts of this blog. Thanks for visiting.

Feeders/Live Cattle Spread
Welcome to the rodeo! On August 21st, just a day after our very first post, the Nov-Dec feeder/live cattle spread closed below the rising 50-day Moving Average for the first time in over four months. This triggered a hypothetical trade for the blog to sell one 50,000 lb. November feeder cattle contract at 207.35 and buy one 40,000 lb. December live cattle contract at 148.60 for a spread of 58.75 (premium feeders).
The contract high for the spread was made on August 12th at 64.30. Therefore, our initial hypothetical position exit signal will be a two-consecutive day close above 64.80 (or .50 points above the contract high).
Note that the tick value of $5 on the feeder cattle contract is slightly higher than the tick value of $4 on the live cattle contract. To normalize the tick size, a trader should have four feeder contracts for every five live cattle contracts.
Once a downtrend is firmly established in the Nov-Dec feeder/live cattle spread, we may discuss potential ideas for measuring volatility to determine intervals for adding to a spread position. Stay tuned!

Curriculum for an Online Doctorate in Healthcare Administration

Using case studies, students examine methods of standardizing health information, organizational policy development, and ethical and efficient resource allocation.

How Long Does It Take to Get an Online Doctorate in Healthcare Administration?
万宝路平台官网Many students earn a Ph.D. in healthcare management online in less time than is normally required to complete traditional, on-campus programs. However, the amount of time necessary to earn a DHA degree online depends on factors including enrollment status and program structure.

Flexible, asynchronous programs feature self-paced coursework and allow busy students to complete assignments and review course materials at their convenience. Self-motivated students with strong organizational skills can complete asynchronous classes quickly. Synchronous, cohort-based programs are highly structured and emphasize collaborative learning. While cohort programs offer peer and faculty support, they feature rigid deadlines and less flexible schedules. Most students take longer to complete a synchronous DHA degree online program.
Accreditation for Online Healthcare Administration Doctorate Degrees
万宝路平台官网Accreditation is important to consider when researching DHA online programs. Accreditation ensures colleges and universities maintain high academic and ethical standards. Schools may hold regional or national accreditation; for-profit vocational and technical schools typically receive national accreditation, and most public, nonprofit universities are regionally accredited.
Regional accreditation is more highly regarded than national accreditation. Credits earned from regionally accredited institutions transfer easily, whereas regionally accredited schools rarely accept credits earned from nationally accredited institutions. Because regionally accredited programs are often regarded as more prestigious, many employers prefer candidates with an online Ph.D. in healthcare administration from a regionally accredited college or university. Employer tuition reimbursement programs generally stipulate the employee attend a regionally accredited institution.
万宝路平台官网The U.S. Department of Education (ED) relies on accreditation status to determine which institutions are eligible for federal funding. While the ED does not award accreditation, the department oversees the six regional accrediting bodies. The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) ensures that both regional and national accrediting bodies follow proper protocols. CHEA maintains a comprehensive of accredited institutions.

I love taking a peek into someone else's closet, don't you? Here are the latest photos that have been added to the Neatly Designed portfolio. The closets were cleaned out, organized and redesigned with new shelves and drawers. Anything that was not absolutely necessary was removed. Unwanted clothes were consigned, old make up was thrown out, new matching hangers were installed and like items were corralled into containers. Who wouldn't want to wake up and get dressed here every day? I'll go into more detail about each of these photos in future posts. Until then, have a look:
