Femi Falana, SAN, yesterday accused the All Progressives Congress, APC-led
federal government of covering up cases of corruption
In a statement personally signed by him, Falana claimed that about 20
legislators in both chambers of the National Assembly altered the budget
by "inserting constituency projects worth N100 billion in the 2016 budget.
Both the Senate and the House allocated to themselves N60 billion and N40
billion respectively."
The human rights activist noted that if "it is established that the
alterations were effected after the passing of the budget by both houses
the issue at hand goes beyond padding. A clear case of conspiracy, fraud,
forgery and corruption can be established against the suspects."
He explained that padding "takes place when legislators resolve to rewrite
the budget by introducing new items outside the estimates prepared and
presented to them by the president.
"The controversy over the padding of budget was laid to rest with the
enactment of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007 which has imposed a duty
on the finance minister to source input from certain institutions
including the national assembly during the course of preparing the budget.
"That is when negotiations and horse trading with the executive by the
legislators is allowed. But neither the Constitution nor the Fiscal
Responsibility Act has empowered the National Assembly members to rewrite
the national budget by including constituency projects whose costs are
arbitrarily fixed by the legislators."
Under section 81 of the Constitution, Falana pointed out that only the
president "is given the exclusive power to cause the budget to be
prepared. Upon the preparation of the budget by the executive, it shall be
laid or presented to the National Assembly by the president."
He argued that in debating the Appropriation Bill, the legislators might
reduce the estimates if there "are errors or inflation of the cost of
items or if certain items provided for has been purchased before or for
any other genuine reasons.
"But the National Assembly cannot increase the budget in any manner
whatsoever. So, the unilateral introduction of constituency projects is
totally illegal and unconstitutional. By introducing new items, the
National Assembly has usurped the powers of the President to prepare the
"In other words, the legislators would have prepared the budget and laid
it before themselves and then passed it. That is a negation of the
doctrine of separation of powers. The appropriation bill or amended
appropriation bill is not like other bills.
Whereas other bills shall emanate from either of the two houses, money
bills shall emanate from the President.
"So a money bill is a special bill which cannot be subjected to additions
by the national assembly because it has no power to prepare it. Padding is
an unconstitutional infraction when the estimates are increased on the
floor of the House. The infraction becomes criminal when the Appropriation
Bill is altered by a few legislators after it had been passed by both
houses of the national assembly."
He, therefore, said the speaker claimed that the padding of the 2016 was
not a criminal offence, noting that Dogara's confidence "is likely to have
been anchored on the statement credited to the presidency that the budget
was not padded in any material particular.
"Before then, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had decided to follow
the discredited path by treating the serious allegation of monumental
corruption as a family affair of the ruling party."
But unlike the PDP, Falana noted that the APC government failed "to act
timeously. In other words, a cover up is no longer possible at this stage
as the cat has been let out of the bag. For now, Dogara has no choice, but
to defend the criminal allegations.
"Contrary to Dogara's misleading contention, the Legislative Houses Powers
and Privileges Act has not conferred immunity on him with respect to
allegations of criminal offences. Since the immunity conferred by the Act
is limited to contributions to debates by members of the National
Assembly, he cannot ward off the invitation of the Nigeria Police and the
EFCC to react to the criminal allegations leveled against."
The Senior Advocate cited what happened when the 2005 appropriation bill
was under consideration in the Senate, noting that some senators including
the then Senate President padded the budget of a ministry after collecting
N55 million bribe from a minister.
He said the scandal led "to the removal of the senate president who was
later charged with his indicted colleagues and the minister. The Supreme
Court has recently ordered that the suspects be tried for corruption
having thrown out the preliminary objections filed against the charges by
them at the trial court."

just quick catch ups before i go back to work tomorrow.
Posted: July 26, 2010 at 10:47 pm
tunie is up and down…yesterday she ate really well and even decided to wander around the barn rooting around (at one point my sister came and quietly said…did you lose the sick little pig? i said no, she was having a good day and anne said…well she isn't in her bed….that was the second time yesterday she got up for a bit of a walk.
today, she ate some fruit, did sit up for a bit, enjoyed her multiple brushings but pretty much just took it easy. she does not seem distressed, she just decides when she wants to eat, when she wants to sleep and when she wants to get up and for how long.
i really love tunie-fish..as always, she just does exactly what she wants.
herman is just turning into a complete hoot..he has his whole meal routine down to an art..he quickly moves out to near the feed shed so he can immediately determine when his food is ready for delivery..then he goes straight back into his stall. his little tail is flying back and forth thru the whole entire feeding of herman process.
lahanie and czar are becoming fast friends. and lahanie is much more considerate of all of the barn animals now. he no longer kicks his stall walls in utter impatience, he just nickers softly in encouragement til his dinner arrives. and our deeply beloved gideon is finally putting on weight again!
i did not get tula in to the vet today..i will try for a drop off for her this week tho. she is eating temptations like there is no tomorrow so i will pick up plenty of those to last her for awhile.
kira and harold made it in for their pre-op bloodwork…there are a few minor concerns with the results but nothing major. harold did not make a lot of friends at the vets today tho…he pooped all over the floor and bit one of the staff when they were trying to draw blood on him.
it really is too bad because he really is a lovely boy but he can't help his incontinence and when he gets scared he snaps and bites.
while kira LOOKED adorable…she did not SOUND adorable so i know damn well she will not be spending the night after her surgery tomorrow..her caterwauling will drive them nutz.
both perdy's and bibi's hips are getting really bad…they are both having trouble getting back up again from laying down. i think we will add some amitriptyline to their med mix and see if that helps their mobility issues.
this week i will try to find some time to do a home check for amos…he won't be going anywhere yet for a bit. we need his hormones to drop some more plus i still need to get the ferrier to do his feet…but he has been offered a home with jackson, a donkey that this really nice family have had since 1991…that is a pretty good indictation of the kind of committment being offered to him.
chewie continues to heal…hopefully just a couple of weeks more and then he can move into his new home with archie and meredith….(our little forever foster goat.)
frodo has greatly enjoyed sharing his trailer with anne and jim…and they have helped me with barn bedtime every night too. anne has a lot of horse experience…she works as a wrangler in her free time (she is really a professor) but i told her tonight, she totally sucks at wrangling cows…as jim and i were feeding, suddenly we heard from the gate…"ooops! ooops! ooops!" as emily, joy and percy charged uninvited thru to find their long awaited dinner!
the weekend barn volunteers (esp. mo…) will be happy to know…the butt scratching fences are fixed and the feed room has a great long new storage shelf! you just gotta love visiting brothers in laws who can and will use power tools!
anne has been working on etching some of the memorial stones with the router that one of the douglas college vet assistent students donated to saints so i am also grateful to visiting artistic sisters who enjoys writing names on rocks!
it was a good family weekend for me… both here and away from saints…but tomorrow we are back to the real life around here…all of my family will have returned to their own real worlds but we are still here!

Strikes, Lockouts Remained Near Record Lows in 2010
Last year represented the second-least-active period for strikes and lockouts on record, in a sign of just how troubled the labor market has been, a U.S. government report Tuesday said.
Over the course of 2010, there were only 11 major strikes or lockouts involving 1,000 or more workers, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. The lowest year for work stoppages was 2009. Last year's work stoppages "idled 45,000 workers for 302,000 lost workdays, a large increase compared to 2009 record lows, with 5 stoppages idling 13,000 workers for 124,000 lost workdays," the report noted.
The Labor Department report tracks major work stoppages going back to 1947. The agency doesn't distinguish between employee walkouts or employer-initiated actions. While work stoppages rose last year, they were historically low and can be seen as yet another signal of a highly challenged employment sector. High levels of unemployment resulting from the worst recession in generations have evidently made many workers gun shy in taking major action to secure better employment conditions.
The diminishing pool of organized workers also likely has something to do with what the BLS noted is a long decline in the trend for strikes and lockouts. "From 2001-2010, there were approximately 17 major work stoppages on average per year, compared with 34 per year from 1991-2000, 69 from 1981-1990, and 269 from 1971-1980."
The government noted that work days lost to major work stoppages over 2001 to 2010 have fallen 90% from 1971-1980 period. Work stoppages were far more common before 1970. For example, there were 470 such events in 1952.
In a report last month, the BLS said union membership in 2010 fell to 11.9% of the U.S. working population, or 14.7 million workers, from 12.3% of the working population the year before. In 1983, the first year the BLS tracked this information, 20.1% of the labor force was unionized.
That report also noted unionization rates were much higher for public-sector workers relative to private-sector employees, and that education, training and library workers had the highest levels of unionization. New York had the highest level of work-force unionization at 24.2%, while North Carolina had the lowest at 3.2%.
The BLS said the longest work stoppage last year was a nearly month long dispute between Temple University Hospital and the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses & Allied Professionals, which involved 1,500 workers and 31,500 lost work days.
The biggest work stoppage was a Chicago-area construction strike involving the Mid-America Regional Bargaining Association and the Laborers International Union of North America District Council of Chicago, International Union of Operating Engineers and Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters. That involved 15,000 workers and cost 180,000 work days.

Happy New Year you lovely lot! We hope you had a fantastic Christmas and New Year. 2017 has arrived and we are back at work and ready for all of the exciting events and weddings ahead of us. Our December was full of Christmas parties galore and lots of super fun events.
In amongst the canape and drinks parties, we had some dinners mixed in and some festive lunches too. Christmas parties are all about the fun and the festive treats, think mulled wine, Christmas cocktails and a few hundred or so mince pies to boot! Turkey, trimmings, beef wellington and some seriously tasty sticky toffee pudding. We were lucky enough to be back at Windsor Guildhall for a Christmas Dinner and it really was a beautiful setting. We also got to provide some cute Christmas canapes for the lovely ladies at B.loved for their festive mingle.
We were also invited to a few Christmas parties and gatherings ourselves where we got to catch up with fellow wedding industry pros and celebrate the year with some festive cheer. One of the highlights included a scrummy afternoon tea at The Bingham – such a beautiful hotel in Richmond, with a riverside setting that is ideal for weddings.
December certainly flew past and we can't believe it's another year and January already! As event and wedding professionals, people always ask us what we think will be popular in the forthcoming year…well here is our top 5 predictions for weddings and catering.
- Greenery – Pantone's colour of the year is Greenery – quite a vibrant bold green which is quite the contrast to last year's pastel hues. Whether used as a theming throughout your wedding or event, we think foliage will be used in abundance and in a loose, wild and natural way.
- Tropical – The tropical trend was popular last year, but mixed with the Greenery, we think this will really take off. Long reign the pinks, oranges, flamingos and pineapples!
- Industrial Luxe – Think copper, marble and warehouses with metal, stone and metallic elements, mixed with geodes and geometric contemporary designs and décor.
- Foodie Heaven – couples want to go BIG on food and splurge a little. Food after all is a big part of the day! Choosing their favourite food and going all out, matching wines and drinks too. P.S – keep any eye out for completely raw, vegan and gluten free menus too!
- Food stations and informal catering will be key – as will drinks stations. We have no doubt that artisan gins and craft beers will be big as will botanical drinks.
Are you getting married in 2017? Will any of the above be featuring? We would love to know and find out more about your plans. We have a busy January ahead – focusing on some upcoming weddings and events and finalising plans, also prepping for a Valentine's wedding too – how romantic!
Until next time…Emma. x

Bernard Callebaut, Head Office
1313 1 Street SE
Calgary, AB
(403) 266-4300
The theme for today is short and sweet. Bernard Callebaut, descendant from the Barry Callebaut family, is a chocolatier based in Calgary Alberta, and has redefined chocolate for an entire generation of Western Canadians. This is not a premium chocolate, like a rare wild cocoa criollo, but it has paved the way for better chocolate. Much like Starbucks lead the way for coffee, Bernard Callebaut has raised the bar from Laura Secord to something better.
At their head office location, they not only manufacture the chocolates that are distributed all around North America, they experiment and play with different ideas. One of these ideas is serving soft-serve ice cream – made with iced milk. It comes in chocolate, and vanilla flavours. For $3.75 for a small, it is a decadent dessert. But it is served only seasonally in summer, and they shut the machine down every fall, until the coming of the following summer.
It's really good. And time is running out for another year. Give it a try. It is both short, and sweet.

Some students stand out more than others at Emory, sweaty athletes taped and iced after a hard practice to frantic freshman lamenting over their first midterms. But in the hustle and bustle of campus life, in the anonymity of the crowd, it is difficult to distinguish a thriving student from a struggling one. For those who have been hit with misfortune and financial hardship, many are turning to the Emory University Student Hardship Fund.
Founded last year by Jordan Stein ('12C) and Stephen Ratner ('12C), the Student Hardship Fund aids students who find themselves facing an unmanageable financial burden due to unfortunate events of an unexpected nature. The fund provides grants that ease the cost of living for these Emory students.
"There's no way to know every student's financial situation just by looking at them when they're walking around on campus," College junior and current chairman Jason Stern said. "You would have no idea how many students at Emory are struggling."
Sudden deaths in the family, fires or floods at home, uninsured medical bills, these are the types of hardships many members of the Emory community are facing, dealing with these accidents are troublesome enough on their own without bringing finances into the picture. Students are forced to reevaluate their resources, and the bills that follow can make a stressful situation even worse.
Rather than worrying about the quality of the Dobbs University Center (DUC) food, these students worry about affording their next meal, buying a new outfit for an interview or paying their phone bill might weigh on their mind.
Grants given to students, though, do not cover books or tuition, and so the Student Hardship Fund is not a scholarship program. The grants are written on a need-only basis and have nothing to do with merit or grade point average. Eligible students can apply once a year, and there is no expectation for any of the grants to be paid back.
The fund's motto of "students helping students" was derived from the idea that students on the committee that hand out the grants would be making the ultimate decision to help their fellow students.
Stein, who studied political science and sociology, and Ratner, who majored in political science, developed the program to be comprised of a committee of three students, one faculty member and one staff member who works closely with the Office of Financial Aid. The staff member reviews applications, interviews applicants and awards grants to students in need.
Stern, who is studying political science and economics, was named chairman of the Student Hardship Fund for the 2012-2013 school year after serving on last year's review committee. As chairman, he now oversees the fund's entire process and is a non-voting member.
"When I first sat on the committee last year, I had no idea how many people who come to Emory are struggling financially," Stern said. "You would never assume that just by looking around campus."
Any students who feel they meet this description are encouraged to apply. The grants are available to all Emory University students, not just those enrolled in the College. Applications can be found in the Office of Financial Aid or online.
Stern insisted that after the application, being involved with the fund becomes a very personal process.
After applications are reviewed, applicants meet with the committee to discuss their financial situation. The list of students on the committee are not disclosed to the public and all come from different walks of life at Emory. Committee members are as diverse as the pool of applicants, some come from the College, some are from the Business or Medical School and so on.
"It's not just like you're sending in an application and you get a 'you'll hear back soon,'" Stern said. "You're seeing faces and getting a chance to explain your situation. You get to interact with the people who will ultimately be making the decision."
The final decision on the amount of the grant can vary, but the maximum any student can receive from the fund is $500 per academic year. This amount can make a huge difference for a student trying to support him or herself financially.
A unique concept of the Student Hardship Fund is that it derives all of its funds from donations. Each dollar it awards is the gift of generous faculty members, alumni, parents and students themselves.
Stern said that the program is constantly fundraising. The more money they raise, the more grants the fund can give.
"Simply put, if we don't have any money, we can't help any students," Stern said.
The fund is completely confidential, and the committee keeps the financial records of its applicants private by working with financial aid officer Delicia Lucky. She attends every committee meeting and follows up with all the students. She also serves as a buffer between the student's financial records and the committee because the information is confidential.
The confidentiality of the fund, according to Stern, along with its unique "students helping students" perspective make the organization a crucial resource for a number of students that need some extra help supporting themselves.
"It's a really good way to give back to the Emory community," Stern said. "We are really helping struggling students get the most of their Emory experience."

Arsenal Finally Set To Land Welbeck's Replacement? Deal To Be Announced Soon
Wenger himself confirmed he would sign only "top players" in winter, and this has seen the club linked to an avalanche of star players in recent weeks.
Arsenal are back in the chase for former Real Madrid forward, Alvaro Morata according to reports.
The Gunners are in need of another forward with Danny Welbeck having not featured for the Gunners since April 2015; leaving Olivier Giroud as the only recognised forward at the Emirates. Thanks to the Gunners sleek passing and possessive football, the team still manages to outscore opponents with goals coming from other parts of the team aside from Giroud.
Morata was one player in Arsene Wenger's radar before he moved to Italy to join Serie A giants Juventus in a deal reportedly worth around £16 Million in 2014. Morata has had a fantastic spell with Juventus by winning the Italian Scudetto and also playing in the UEFA Champions League; going all the way to the finals with the Old Ladies where they lost to Spanish giants Barcelona last season.
But he has now found playing time limited due to the form of Argentine goal machine Paulo Dybala who joined the Turin giants in the summer after the departure of Carlos Tevez. Real Madrid have a £26 Million buy back clause inserted on the Spaniard contract and may choose to activate it but the transfer embargo been given to Real Madrid may see the deal not come to pass except if something can be done within the final week of the transfer window.
Juventus would prefer to hold on to the 23 year old till the summer which means Real would miss out entirely in re-signing Morata; paving the way for the Gunners to make a swoop in the summer for the Spanish Talisman.

How does the packaging shape of commercial containers affect water solutions inside?
A researcher is hoping to study the relationship between packaging shape, thickness, material and electromagnetic fields and its possible effects on water solutions. In an effort to learn more, the researcher is turning to crowdfunding platform Experiment to fund the research.
The purpose of his study is to investigate the relationship between the packaging shape, thickness and material of commercial containers and electromagnetic fields (within the microwave frequency range) and how they affect the absorption and distribution of electromagnetic fields in stored water solutions. Further, his study's purpose is to investigate how the electromagnetic fields induced in water solutions such as water-based medicines and nutritional products could induce non-thermal effects during storage.
The study will help manufacturers develop storage guidelines for water-based liquid-food products and liquid pharmaceuticals exposed to EMFs during short-term or long-term storage by furthering their understanding of the roles the sharp edges, thickness and dimensions of materials play in the concentration and distribution of electromagnetic fields and how these variables influence the non-thermal effects of electromagnetic fields.
The results of his study could help manufacturers obtain parameters to optimize the storage and packaging process of water solutions. This optimization will foster increased safety and better quality of water solutions during storage.
"[This study will help in developing storage guidelines for water-based liquid-food products and liquid pharmaceuticals exposed to EMFs during storage]", says project leader [Maher A. A. Abdelsamie, PhD].
In using Experiment to help raise the funds, Maher is sharing reports of progress in real-time. In return for backing the project, donors will also be recognized when the results published open-access.
If fully funded, the project's findings would have implications for storage and packaging processes.
The project has 43 days remaining to meet a funding target of [$ 3000].
The platform, Experiment, recently surpassed $1,500,000 in total funding raised. Scientists using the platform have been featured in The Economist, Forbes, Nature, and The New York Times.

Veteran Burial Honors
"Our debt to the Heroic Men and Valiant Women in the service of our Country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices."
~ President Harry Truman
Burial Benefits at National Cemeteries
On Aug. 26, 2003 the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery inaugurated an all-volunteer Memorial Squad to assist in military honors. When possible, the melodic sound of live Taps can be heard echoing throughout the serene cemetery grounds, otherwise, electronic Taps are available at three committal shelters.
The DOD program, "Honoring Those Who Served," calls for funeral directors to request military funeral honors on behalf of the veteran's family. When requested, a detail consisting of at least two uniformed military persons, with at least one being a member of the veteran's branch of service provide folding and presentation of the U.S. flag and can also play Taps, either by a high-quality recording or a bugler. For more information on Veteran Funeral Honors, please call us 708-532-1635
Veterans' Burial Benefits
Veterans' burial benefits include:
- A gravesite in any of the 125 national cemeteries with available space
- Opening and closing of the grave
- Perpetual care
- A Government headstone or marker
- A burial flag
- A Presidential Memorial Certificate
All are at no cost to the family.
Some Veterans may also be eligible for Burial Allowances. Cremated remains are buried or inurned in National Cemetery in the same manner and with the same honors as casketed remains.
The VA suggests that if burial will be in a private cemetery and a Government headstone or marker will be requested for the veteran's grave, that the family apply for one in advance so that the application can be placed with the veterans military discharge papers for use at the time of need.
Grave-sites in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) national cemeteries cannot be reserved in advance; however, reservations made prior to 1962 will be honored. Families are encouraged to prepare in advance by discussing cemetery options, collecting the veteran's military information including discharge papers, and by contacting the cemetery where burial is desired.

The album has gained a lot of new energy and clarity. We're looking forward to having the next record mastered at Audiomaster!
We'd just like to add to your satisfied customer list! Weve always had a quality, professional job from Audiomaster. I really cannot recommend highly enough.
Steve at Audiomaster did an excellent and thoroughly professional mastering job very quickly. He managed to complete everything I needed in time (working to a tight deadline) and was always willing to offer help and suggestions. Highly recommended.
It's been a pleasure doing business with Audiomaster and we will definitely keep you in mind for our next project. Your speed and communication have been great throughout.
You will hopefully have lots of more work from me in the future! Happy customer!
I have had the privilege of having my music mastered by Steve for the past ten years or so and have always had consistently high quality results. Steve is very professional and always meets deadlines. Highly recommended!
I spent a fair amount of time searching for a reputable mastering service that wasn't going to break the bank. I was a little fearful about making the wrong decision, but as soon as I made contact with Steve at Audiomaster, I calmed down. Throughout the whole process, he was prompt, understanding, and helpful. And his expertise is obvious. I am completely happy with Audiomaster's work on Out of Nowhere.
Highly reccomendable mastering studio. Steve provides a clear, powerful sound to our records, to make our music sound at its best… And he's a nice and friendly guy too!!! We are satisfied repeating customers.
I thought you might like to know that the version of 'London Town' recorded by my mother 60 years ago, for which you did the mastering, was played yesterday on BBC Radio London with some very complimentary comments. Considering the hiss and crackle etc on the original recording, I have no doubt that the work you did on getting this recording up to broadcast quality made it suitable to be played on air.
That's perfect. I'd just like to let you know this has been an excellent service and a great experience into mastering. If I require any mastering in the future you'll be my first port of call.
Just to let you know that the 'Redbook Master' and 'Reference Copy' arrived safely earlier today. I have played the CD through both on 'Quiet Mode' and with the volume cranked up. Either way it sounds awesome – a testimony to your skills and very experienced ears! The whole process from initial submissions through to finished product was smooth, seamless and efficient – even for a first-timer like me with limited IT abilities. Thank you for patiently guiding me through it all. I don't know when I may have 'Volume II' of 'Songs Of The Fish Eagle' ready for mastering, but look forward to working with you again at some point in the future. Now I need to move on to sorting out the 'Duplication Process' and hope that proves to be as painless as 'Mastering'!
Finally I have got the time to thank you for very good job and I hope we will have an opportunity to cooperate again. Good luck and we will spread the word.
Steve does all mastering for our recordlabel SD Records since 2007 and he delivers excellent work, release after release. Since 2007 he has done more than 100 tracks for 25 releases and he really knows how to give our music that extra 'ooomph' while maintaining it's dynamics. And apart from his superb work he's also a very friendly and helpful guy.
Just thought I'd drop you a line to say thank you again for the great job you did with my tracks. Very happy indeed :o)
Audiomaster have made my music spring into to life with warmth , clarity and punch. Just goes to prove you can't always do it alone – these guys have had the objectivity and listening skills to give my songs that smooth full sound we all crave. A superb , friendly service and great value for money. I'll definitely be using Audiomaster for all my future projects. Many thanks to all involved.
It seemed too good to be true that I could have my album mastered to a high professional standard for such a low price. Audiomaster combines great tech and great service with a great pair of ears belonging to someone who clearly cares about music.
We came across Audio Master when searching the web for reasonable prices for the mastering of our current album. We highly recommend Audiomasters services and will most defiantly be using them in our future projects. Affordable and reliable professional mastering achieved with efficient service. These guys know how to apply their trade.
Mastering is essential if you want your records to sound professional. Audiomaster were great.. they turned our CD around very fast and made our album sound like a coherent project for the first time. After living with my new master for a few days, I wanted a couple of changes made. Again, the revised CD was with us in days and we will now be going to press with that mix. Great value and they clearly know what they're doing.
After searching on the internet I found Audiomaster, which was by far the cheapest online mastering service that I came across. For the price, I wasn't expecting much, but was I surprised! What I received was excellent customer services, surpassed only by the superb mastering quality that this company provides. My demo has truly come to life, and everything that I asked for has been achieved, and in a very short amount of time. I cannot recommend Audiomaster enough, and I'll be telling all of my friends in the music industry about them!
What a difference! I have used a few mastering places before but now I get all my stuff mastered through Audiomaster. Very friendly and great service."
Excellent service from these guys. Our new CD Sound Machine sounds awesome and I'd like to thank Steve and everyone at Audiomaster for giving us that extra polish and amazing service. Cheers guys.
Excellent friendly service. Steve was a pleasure to deal with and was really helpful at all times.
Have successfully downloaded the final product, sounds great! Many thanks for your hard work, will definitely be in touch next time!
It was a pleasure having you work on the project! Thanks for your patience and we are all really pleased with the work you've done.
Once again you have done a fantastic job on the mastering! Very happy with this indeed.
Thanks so much for the mastering approval - they sound really really nice. Fabulous work as ever! I just love the warmth and depth you bring to my music. It's wonderful.
Steve did an absolutely brilliant job mastering my tracks. The final results had far greater definition, clarity and depth than what they started out as. The work he provided also enhanced the overall energy and emotion of the actual music itself. I am a very happy customer and will hopefully be using his services again in future.
Thanks so much Steve! Really impressed with your turn-around and service. I'll be working with you again soon!
Steve has mastered many of the albums recorded at my studio.His work is excellent and turned round quickly. The master cd is always ready for immediate duplication and sounds great!
After ten years, we continue to use Audiomaster for all our music mastering. Steve is a pleasure to work with and can always trust him to deliver professionally mastered music at the right price.
Steve is an excellent masterer of recorded music, with a great feel and understanding of how the final product should be. An excellent professional service at a cost effective price. I would always recommend him.
Beautiful master on a complex symphonic rock track. Was done in good time and they were happy to accept feedback on first master, tweaking a 3 second moment that I was being pedantic about. The 2nd effort was perfect. Great rates, professional and skilled. Really pleased.
Hello Steve! It was a pleasure listening to the revised file. Truly amazing sound. Crystal clear - more than I expected - will be back...
Steve Kitch and the team at AudioMaster did a flawless job of mastering the 13 tracks of my album Liberated.
They listened to my preferences and got it right first time. Optimising the sound but without over compressing it. It's just brilliant and affordable. I will be back without hesitation.
Many thanks indeed.
For me it was very important that the music after the mastering process did not lose its natural timbre.
You did that very nicely.
Thanks Steve for a fast and prepared professional service. Good work!
Its hard to find people you can trust in the music industry these days but Steve is one of them that you can trust if you have trust issues like I do. He is very professional, he listens, he advises, we discuss and he produces quality mastering. Steve is definitely the man for any of your mastering projects. J2F
It was a great experience working with Steve!
Audiomaster is a fast and yet reliable mastering service that really got me pleasured! I loved the fact that we were in contact all the time when we needed to fix anything into the track.
Steve did an absolutely wonderful job with my music managing to create a beautiful space in which all the elements of the song had room to breathe. I wouldn't have thought it was possible, as it was the task of bringing order out of chaos, but he came up with goods and i am delighted. The attention to detail was all there and i would recommend him to anyone.
Brilliant, thanks Steve. I couldn't be happier with the results! Look forward to working with you again on future projects 🙂
Just want to thank you on doing such a great job with the master. We absolutely love it! Thank you for your business, it's been a pleasure working with you. We will definitely work with you again and recommend you to anyone who needs mastering.
As always, your work and effort is a pleasure to hear.
Hi Steve. We'd like to sincerely thank you for the mastering of our tracks. We're extremely pleased with the tracks and the service, and we've made recommendations to our friends in Singapore. Thank you!
Second time I've used Steve and he's been incredible. Always in constant contact over email and the results are spectacular! Would definitely recommend!
Steve has done an excellent job. Commercial volume at the right level without sacrificing dynamics. I was impressed by how my music sounds good after audiomaster has done its job. I have no doubt about who will master my music in the future. Steve was always extremely available and met all my requests. Highly recommended.
With our music being of an alternative Hip Hop and R&B nature, we weren't sure whether Audiomaster (Steve) would be able to deal with our sound as it seemed as if they hadn't dealt with a sound like ours before but he did a fantastic job with our music and we will definitely be working with him again.
Thank you so much Steve for your patience and mastering skills for my up & coming album, 'The Metamorphosis of Francis Fahrenheit'.
After handing over the mixes that had been ever-so-carefully put together, I was hoping that Steve could turn this thing into more than just my latest collection of songs. He did. He knocked it out of the park in terms of attention to detail and delivered a timeless-sounding record.
Thank you so much for your quick and quality work. We've been looking for a reliable engineer and are thrilled by how easy this all was. I'll be in touch regarding future projects as we will certainly need your help!
After 3 albums of mastering my own material, I decided to heed professional advice and use a dedicated mastering engineer. It was the best decision I made. Commercial loudness without losing musicality and deft use of EQ created a smooth, transparent, professional sounding disc. Don't ruin your work with your own tired ears – give it to the Audiomaster.
Great service. They know exactly what they are doing and they actually listen to your track and master it. Not just put it in a machine and power blast it. Looking forward to letting them master my next EP.
Audiomaster were extremely helpful. I had never mastered any songs before so wasn't sure how to prepare my files. After a lot of emails back and forward from Steve I was ready to master. He was very patient with me being a novice to everything and helped me as much as he could! Would definitley recommend Audiomaster to anyone looking to get their songs to a professional standard.
Just to say thank you for your work and information regarding the mastering of my material.The tracks are now available on iTunes and elsewhere. I will def get back to you Steve for further mastering..and with probably more questions!
Cheers and thanks again.
Anthony, for Boyfriend Abroad

Summary: Encryption doesn't solve all security problems. In many cases you need authentication and integrity, not secrecy, and encryption can be the wrong tool for the job. In those cases you need a Message Authentication Code, not encryption.
It's pretty typical to see embedded system designers use encryption to solve security problems. And it's also common for that to be the wrong answer to the real problem.
The issue is that encryption is the wrong tool for the job. What you really want is some combination of authentication (I know the right person sent it) and integrity (I know the contents have not been altered). Encryption isn't the best tool for this -- what you want is a Message Authentication Code (MAC). One way to get this is to compute an appropriately chosen secure hash function and append its results to the message:

Ujjaval Mobile Application & E-Magazine launched on Thrusday in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, Over 130 government schools took a step towards paperless management of school records with the launch of this mobile application "Ujjaval". Almost 107 primary government schools and 26 upper primary schools in Roorkee block of Haridwar district will be connected through the app and they will be able to easily manage students' attendance, teachers' leave and other necessary records.
Besides the app, an e-magazine by the same name was also launched at primary school level. As told to NU, Brijpal Singh Rathore, Deputy Education Officer of Roorkee said, "It was indeed a proud moment when the Ujjaval app was launched by the primary education director Seema Jaunsari at the education directorate in Dehradun. She encouraged us to go ahead with our initiative, stating that use of technology is imperative in today's time."
Rathore further said, "With the help of this app, almost 107 primary government schools in the Roorkee block and 26 upper primary schools will be benefited as of now. Slowly we will increase the ambit and add more schools. The app will not only benefit teachers, but also ensure we head towards a paperless work culture in government schools."
Hailing the Ujjaval app and its need, a primary government school teacher from Roorkee block, Sanjay Vats said, "Data related to students strength, attendance, mid-day meal, leave format for teachers and provisions of RTE are available on this app for all teachers to access in our block. We are really happy with the initiative and hope that other districts also join us in embracing technology and saving paper."
Primary education director Seema Jaunsari said that it is a great initiative from Haridwar district and the education department encourages such innovative steps by officials and teachers.

Obama Launches Computer Science for All Initiative
President Obama is calling for $4 billion in funding for his "Computer Science for All Initiative." The project aims to bring computer science education to every K-12 school in the country. Currently about a quarter of U.S. K-12 schools offer classes in coding and computer science.
"Our economy is rapidly shifting, and both educators and business leaders are increasingly recognizing that computer science (CS) is a 'new basic' skill necessary for economic opportunity and social mobility," blogged U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith.
The initiative has support from major technology companies, but the president will also need to convince Congress to approve the plan.

Is it just me or was the build up to Christmas not as longwinded as it has been in previous years? Usually I seem to start suffering around September time noticing the harbingers' introducing mince pies and Santa hats but this year it really seemed to start a little later. There's still the complete and anarchic scramble for food at the supermarket, and watching the people hell bent, single-mindedly focused on grabbing as much food as they possibly can because (in their minds) this will be the last opportunity to eat for months and albeit the shop are closed for just one day there's simply no persuading them the end of the world isn't gong to happen. It's just another day, but with a few more mouths to feed, and on that note if these people are buying extra because of guests, surely not everyone has to buy extra?
I waited my time, carefully calculated the best time to get my provisions and pounced Christmas Eve about ten pm. Ok so I had to wade through scattered vegetables on the floor and dodge the few zombie shoppers wandering around lost in their world of Chrimble purchasing, but I grabbed what I wanted and needed and was all finished in 20 minutes.
Christmas turkey was in fact lamb as requested by my daughter, it was nice, peaceful and I needed the break.
But, festive feasting can only last so long, it's nice to spend time with loved and of course there's family to entertain. But it's nice when they either go or you leave.
Once I got back MY peace and quiet my mind turned to the important things in life and I decided to go flying. The weather looked good for Lleweni Parc so I called Kevin who confirmed he would be operating.
I hooked up my trailer, good ol' LS7 and zipped up to Denbigh. Luckily I'd found a really lovely place to stay which if you decide to go gliding up there is simply the very best place to stay, oh and very reasonable rates. http://www.glanclwydisa.co.uk/index.php?option=com_hotproperty&task=view&id=1&Itemid=3
The flying was superb, and it was the smoothest wave I've ever flown in. I sat there it just over six thousand feet looking over
Colwyn Bay and watching the wind turbines in the Irish Sea spinning like children's pinwheel windmills. It was serene, peaceful and made the world a lovely place to see.
The ying yang of wave flying means you pay for the peace and tranquillity of the smooth air when you decide to land and boy was it rough, things flying about the cockpit, me flying about the cockpit and the glider bouncing around like a cork in a washing machine. It's a little unnerving and turning finals at a thousand feet at with eighty five to ninety knots on the clock you feel as though there's no way you can possibly get the glider down, but on getting a little closer to the field and still not using airbrakes you start to wonder if you're going to undershoot. It's not too bad really but you should have your mind focused on the job in hand.
I would have stayed longer, the weather was favourable but I developed a cold that blocked my ears, nose and throat so I grounded myself and trailed home.
I had hours of flying, blew away some cobwebs and flew at a new site (again) and had a lovely time, all this in the depths of winter, I would have had to take thirty or more winch launches at Rivar to fly this long…
Happy New Year to all of you!

E. Lynn Harris "Just Too Good to be True"
July 20th, 2008
Brady Bledsoe is a college football star, in line for a lucrative NFL career and a great life. That is, if secrets from his past — and his mother's — don't kill his plans.
E. Lynn Harris worked on this novel for several years, trying some things as a writer he had never done before. The result is a story of football, friends, and family that he calls "Just Too Good to be True."

Okay, I jest a little. I promise this won't be a Boston v. New York thing. I'm actually a big fan of the way in which Bronx Defenders has integrated representation across criminal, housing, family, and other types of cases. Sometimes, however, I lament the notion that this is a "new" idea.
Before BxD, there was Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem ("NDS"). Some may quibble over whether NDS fits into the same category as BxD but I think they share an important core: community-oriented defense.
And long before either organization came to be, a group of young ambitious lawyers in Boston created the Roxbury Defenders. A few months ago, Roderick Ireland, the Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, penned an article fondly reminiscing on his time working at the Roxbury Defenders. Reading his piece, I was struck by many of the features of community-oriented, holistic defense that the organization exhibited at its inception. The attorneys would hold regular know-your-rights meetings and even did a 1-hour radio show each week where local callers could seek answers to basic legal questions. Moreover, Roxbury Defenders recognized and implemented the importance of social services advocacy, drug treatment, prison outreach, and the like.
Things change over time. Roxbury Defenders still exists but now as a unit of the Committee for Public Counsel Services ("CPCS"). And yet the spirit and commitment to holistic defense is still going strong in our organization and I'm proud to be connected (even if indirectly) to that history.
Sometimes reading through the literature on public defense, you can get the impression that mixing civil and criminal legal services, doing community outreach, and going beyond narrow representation is a brand new invention. It truly is a great goal but there's nothing new about it. It's retro, baby. It's retro.

Healthy Superbowl Snacks and Sweats (not Sweets, Sweats)
It's Superbowl weekend and I was appalled at that statistic I saw on Pinterest! I can imagine that number actually being quite accurate! For example, you could eat 1/4 cup of dip with a couple of handfuls of chips and then some chicken wings and EASILY eat about 1000 calories worth right there and that doesn't sound like a lot of food! Dips, chips, and appetizers like chicken wings can rack up the calories because they are often high in fat.
I am all about social gatherings. In fact, I don't think I ever watch the game at Superbowl parties. I spend my time snacking and talking. We might take talk breaks during the commercial breaks or half time if the show is worth it, but who wins or loses is not a concern of mine. So really, the important part of Superbowl centers around a food bowl not a football!
A few weeks back I posted some tricks for keeping your food intake at social gathering under control and posted a few great football snacks. Follow this link to that blog post to get some ideas and pointers.
This last week, I found some great healthy Superbowl snacks and even a fun Superbowl workout!
Sparkpeople has 12 dips that are "skinnier", carrying a little less fat, fewer calories and a few more nutritional benefits! Click on the pic to get the recipes!
I thought these little snacks were cute. I also found these on Pinterest. Love me some themey food!
And now for the workout! What? How can you have a "superbowl workout"? Well, Sparkpeople shared one I thought would be fun! Not so sure all the party guests would agree, but I bet you could find some who would think it was a great party game. ;) All of these ideas, I found on Pinterest. Come play with us on Pinterest! Hope your team wins this weekend, but mostly I hope you make some yummy, healthy, themey dips and have fun doing the workout

So, I'm not a baker. I will mess up any recipe you give me, in some random way...every. single. time. Even if I do EVERYTHING right, something still doesn't work. Does it stop me from trying? NOPE!
Beckett has been loving the TV on low while he's napping, so I've been leaving the Food Network on. I think I need to turn it because now I'm obsessed with watching all the cooking shows. All of them. PLUS, my good friend Tiffany has been posting all these amazing recipes on her blog, so I have been inspired to BAKE for awhile now!
Ina Garten is my absolute favorite cooking show host. I'd cook with her any day. And then she would beg me to leave the kitchen because I've messed up her recipe. Ugh. Anyway, I decided to try making her deconstructed strawberry shortcakes, because YUM.
TURNS OUT, I shouldn't just "eyeball the dough thickness." I don't "have this." I can't "figure it out without measuring." They turned out more like cookies instead of biscuits..but you know what?! They tasted AMAZING.
So, if you follow the recipe, yours will turn out more like the biscuits they should be. haha.
Her recipe doesn't use orange zest or ginger, but I love the flavor combo - especially with the strawberries. AND...perfect for Valentines Day!!
Adapted from The Barefoot Contessa
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 tablespoon grated ginger root
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water or milk, for egg wash
2 pints fresh strawberries
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons spiced rum
Sweetened whipped cream
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Sift the flour, two tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Blend in the butter on low speed and mix until the butter is the size of peas. Add orange zest & ginger. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer still on low, add to the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended.
Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough ½-inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut 16 biscuits with a two-inch plain round cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with the egg wash. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned and the insides are fully baked. Cool.
To serve, toss the strawberries with the granulated sugar and spiced rum. Serve on top of your shortcakes!
