>Mulshine Talks Up His Favorite Democrat, Bob Brown, In Today's Column
> Paul Mulshine's talks about favorite Democrat,Bob Brown,in his column today over at NJ.com.
Brown, as anyone who reads this blog knows, has become a friend of mine over the past few years. Brown after losing State Assmebly races in 2007& 2009 in the old 13th district to Sam Thompson, vowed that he wouldn't seek office again, that was until Democratic State Chairman Steve Wisniewski contacted him.
Wisniewski wanted to know if Brown would be interested in taking on his old nemesis Sam Thompson for the vacant State Senate seat in the new 12th district. After hearing how Thompson is has been "double-dipping" (collecting both a state pension and salary), Brown couldn't refuse.
Here's what Mulshine has to say about Brown today:
You might recall that upon the release of the new legislative map last week, I put in a call to a guy from Middlesex County named Bob Brown and asked about whether he'd run in the gerrymandered district into which his town had been inserted.
There was no way he'd run again after his town got stuck in a district that runs from the Raritan Bay almost to the Delaware River. That was laughable, he said.
Brown's not laughing anymore. He's running.
Brown is a Democrat, but he's more conservative than most Republicans. He's a colorful ex-cop from Old Bridge who was shot in the line of duty and decided he'd be better off pursuing law. At Seton Hall School of Law, he often ran into an affable guy from Livingston who even then "seemed like he was running for office," Brown recalls.
Chris Christie is now running New Jersey. As for Brown, he lost a run for the state Assembly in 2009. That's when I first wrote about him. It was unusual to hear a Democrat saying things about school funding like, "We gotta send that money back to the suburbs," at a time when Christie was tiptoeing around the issue.
At the time he and I spoke, any Democratic run in the largely suburban 12th District seemed doomed. Right after my column ran, however, the Republicans announced the name of their nominee for the Senate seat in the new district, Sam Thompson, who is currently an assemblyman and who also hails from Old Bridge.
On the same day, Thompson's name appeared in an article in this newspaper because he and another Republican assemblyman are "double-dipping," collecting state pensions while also collecting legislative salaries.
The day after that article ran, Brown got a call from state Democratic Chairman John Wisniewski. "The Wiz," as the assemblyman from Middlesex County is known, asked Brown if he might want to take that Senate run seriously after all. Brown did, and yesterday he filed the signatures. Brown said he'll base his campaign on the pension issue. Brown himself gets $14,000 a year as a result of his retirement following that shootout, which he won, by the way. But "I will not double-dip," Brown promised. "If I get elected, I will not take my pension."….
This race between Brown and Thompson will be closely watched by many, Brown has more than an excellent chance at winning it even though the newly drawn district leans republican.

Handicapped parking permits: New Brunswick picked the wrong car to tow
Bob Brown the former Old Bridge cop turned lawyer, who unsuccessfully ran for the State Assembly this past year, is a friend of mine and I like to keep tabs on him to see what he has been up to.
Earlier today I was surfing the web looking for something interesting to post on the blog when I stumble upon Paul Mulshine's blog that just so happend to be about Bob and his daughter.
Bob's daughter Sarah, is a student at Rutgers University and is somewhat disabled due to a back condition, she needs to use crutches to get around and therefore qualifies for a handicap placard that allows her to use handicap parking around the campus and state.
It seems as though however her handicap placard is no good in New Brunswick because last Saturday night her car was towed from a handicap parking space while visiting a friend, she happend to discovered her car missing at 2 a.m when she went to return home!
Mulshine tells the story far better than I could so below is a reprint of his blog post:
I've heard it said that the Tasmanian Devil is the only animal on Earth that looks forward to being cornered.
Whoever said that never met Bob Brown.
I first met him last year when he was running for a state Assembly seat, unsuccessfully, as it turned out. Though Brown is a right-wing kind of guy, he ran as a Democrat in a safe Republican district. He likes to get into a fight for the pure fun of it.
Brown was a cop in Old Bridge until he got shot in the line of duty. He ended up becoming a lawyer, but one of those bullets is still stuck inside him. The slug seems to have turned a switch. It's not a good idea to get him started.
Last weekend, the city of New Brunswick made that mistake. Brown's daughter, Sarah, was visiting a fellow Rutgers student a few blocks off campus. She is handicapped due to a back condition that requires her to use crutches. So when she spotted a handicapped parking spot she pulled her new Nissan into it.
When she got back to her car a little after 2 a.m., it was gone.
"They left my daughter out in the cold on the sidewalk at 2 a.m.!" Brown said when he called me Sunday. He then unleashed a string of invectives that can't be printed here.
For an invective-free opinion, I called Assemblywoman Joan Quigley, a Democrat from Jersey City:
"I never heard of that before," said Quigley. "They're never supposed to tow cars with handicapped placards unless they're blocking a fire hydrant or creating some obstruction."
Quigley should know. She helped write the law. Over the years, Quigley has established a reputation as the drivers' friend in the effort to fight off public officials who ticket or tow cars for fun and profit.
But back to Brown. On Tuesday evening I visited the scene of the crime with him. Brown had spent the last three days obsessing on this outrage. He has every intention of working on it for the next 10 years, he told me. "I'm going after their federal funding, " he told me. "I could do this til I retire."
Brown said he will argue in court that New Brunswick violated the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Not only did they leave his daughter stranded on the street, they also deprived her of access to the medication she had left in the car, he said. The towing company that took the car is closed on Sunday, and she couldn't get access to the car until Monday, he said.
As we drove, Brown handed me sheet after sheet of photocopied documents and pages from legal pads as well as a copy of his daughter's state-issued handicapped ID, which he said was hanging from the mirror, next to a Rutgers handicapped placard when the car was towed.
We got to the spot and looked at the sign. It had the words "Reserved Parking" and the wheelchair symbol, like other such signs. It also had a small metal plate that said "Parking Permit P381367."
"If it had said, 'This spot is reserved for this house,' then my daughter wouldn't have parked there," said Brown.
Of course, if it had said that, people might wonder why the residents of the house don't just use the driveway. The house has a large one, as well as a garage. And Brown pointed out that the ordinance permitting the creation of these zones specifically precludes granting permits to people who have driveways and/or garages. So why did this house get to hog a precious parking space?
Lt. Antone Johnson of the parking authority told me he didn't know. "This was done back in 1997 and I've only been doing this job for seven or eight years," he said. Meanwhile, the mayor's office questioned whether the state-issued ID was visible that night. A spokesman said in the call to police, the resident said the car only had a Rutgers handicapped placard visible. That will be sorted out in court.
Like just about every other Jersey driver, Brown wonders just how many of these permits are handed out as political favors.
Quigley told me Jersey City had to declare a moratorium on these permits.
"It became a bit of a scam," said Quigley. "It looked like every doctor would write a letter saying this person or that person shouldn't have to walk."
But even in Hudson County, not exactly a font of good government, they don't have the nerve to tow handicapped driver's cars. Picking on handicapped people seems to be a New Brunswick innovation, one every bit as ill-advised as picking on a Tasmanian Devil.
Mulshine also posted a follow-up to his post to see who was telling the truth about whether the
Brown car had a state placard which you can read >>> Here
It seems obvious to me that New Brunswick screwed up and it just so happen that they picked the wrong car tow and screw up on.

Mulshine: N.J. Suburbs Still Get No Respect
The Star-Ledger's Paul Mulshine had a pretty good column today, he points out how Chris Christie is making a big mistake by trying to court urban voters at the expense of the suburban voters. Mulshine points out that it was Monmouth and Ocean Counties that pushed Christie over the top, not Essex or Hudson. Why would he expect to make inroads in counties that are clearly opposed to his ideals?
Also of interest to residents in the 13th District, Mulshine gives another shout-out to Bob Brown. Brown ran as a Democrat in District 13 against Amy Handlin and Sam Thompson and did a better than expected job at the polls.
According to an internal Republican opinion poll that was leaked, Brown actually was leading Thompson with a week and a half left in the race but was done in by the anti-Corzine tsunami that washed over the bayshore area.
It's a good read, check it out:
After I wrote a column last week critical of Gov.-elect Chris Christie's transition team, which is packed with Trenton insiders and McGreevey administration retreads, I got an e-mail from Bob Brown.
"Where is the average Joe, the taxpayer from the suburbs?" Bob asked.
Nowhere, that's where. If Christie was in the mood to put Democrats on his team, then he might have considered a Democrat like his old Seton Hall Law School classmate Brown. Brown is an ex-cop from Old Bridge who ran for the Assembly as a Democrat more conservative than the incumbent Republicans.
Brown didn't win. But he did succeed in highlighting the issue that should be the No. 1 priority of the incoming Republican administration. And that's the need for property tax relief for the suburbs.
A Rutgers-Eagleton Poll released Friday revealed that "New Jerseyans want their taxes cut; no other priority comes close," in the words of the poll directors. And the tax they most want to see cut is the property tax, the poll showed.
But Christie made it clear immediately following his victory that the cities, not the suburbs, are his first priority. He spent the day after the election visiting Newark to kiss the ring of Democratic party boss Steve Adubato.
After paying his respects to Essex County, which went for Gov. Jon Corzine by a 65,000-vote margin, he blew a kiss to Hudson County, which went Democratic by a 46,000-vote margin. He included on his team a member in good standing of the Hudson Democratic machine, state Sen. Sandra Cunningham.
As for the aforementioned "average Joe from the suburbs," Christie will be making the transition without him, even though it was the suburbs that gave Christie his victory, specifically the suburbs in the middle of the state.
Patrick Murray of the Monmouth University Polling Institute notes that turnout was down this year in every county except Ocean and Monmouth. And those two counties voted Republican by unprecedented margins, 70,000 and 64,000 respectively. But Republicans can't count on that happening again, Murray said.
"It's not clear this was a sea change in the way in which Jerseyans vote," said Murray. "It was clearly just an anti-Corzine vote."
In Murray's view, and mine, Corzine committed political suicide with that ill-fated 2007 tour of the state to win support for his plan to borrow $38 billion against future tolls. That was the main factor in his losses in Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties, all of which are heavily dependent on the toll roads.
Another factor was Corzine's decision not to go on radio station 101.5 FM, which hosted that "pigs will fly" Statehouse rally in early 2008. That decision meant that Corzine got bashed without rebuttal by the station's always amusing talk-show hosts for two months leading up to the election.
This permitted Christie to win despite his strategy, which was to focus on the cities rather than the suburbs. That strategy was a failure.
"Look at Newark, they were upside down 32,000 for him," said Steve Acropolis, who is mayor of Brick Township in Ocean County. "East Orange was upside-down 10,000 for him."
What saved Christie were the big suburbs in the 101.5 listening area such as Brick, where he piled up an 11,000-vote margin, and Toms River, where he got his biggest margin, more than 12,000.
Yet in a post-election meeting with the Ocean County mayors, the governor-elect told them they can't expect to be getting more state aid as a result of their support. Acropolis said the suburban mayors don't want special favors, just an equal share of state aid.
"I don't want him to say we gave him the second highest vote total so we're going to get extra stuff," said Acropolis. "I just want what's fair for our residents."
Suburban residents realize next year will be a tough one because of the budget problems facing the state, he said. But their patience has a limit.
"He's got four years and if he doesn't do anything, he'll be a one-term governor," said the mayor.
That's not a threat so much as a cold reality. The new map of New Jersey politics is not a promising one for Republicans. Bergen County used to ring up Republican margins as reliably as Ocean or Morris. But Christie managed to lose Bergen by a small margin. As for the cities, Christie is now the third Republican gubernatorial nominee in a row to fail miserably in a try at breaking the Democratic stranglehold on the urban vote.
That leaves those midstate suburbs as the battleground for any future elections. And they produced those huge margins not out of any great love for Christie, but out of intense dislike for Corzine, said pollster Murray.
"Nothing motivates a voter like anger," said Murray. "And Christie had better hope they're not angry in 2013."
If he keeps up the way he's going, they will be. And not at the Democrat.

Even Loud Mouths Vote !
Late last night I received and email from District 13 Assembly Candidate Bob Brown. He wanted to pass along a funny little story about what had happened to him earlier in day while putting out campaign signs.
The several people that he copied this email to also thought that it was very funny, including Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine, who included Bob Brown's email as part of his column today.
Here's what Brown's email said:
You may like this short story about putting out those political signs along the roadway.
After 4 hours of placing signs along the roads, I had this guy yell out his window, "Take Downs Those Signs!!!". I told him to "Go F*&K Yourself".
He stops the car and gets out yelling. "What did you say to me!", I told you did you have a hard time hearing, I told you to "Go F^#K Yourself!".
Then he yells "Are those signs for your friend or for you?". I told him that I was the top name on that sign. He then backs down and says "Finally a politician with some backbone" and then
adds "That anyone that stands up to me, deserves my vote and my family's vote"
I gave him my card directing him to my website and he was on his way.
The moral to the story, even loudmouths have a vote. The trick is to get them to vote for you.

13th District Assembly Race Up For Grabs; Poll Shows Brown Up On Thompson, Within Striking Distance of Handlin
It seems as though an upset is in the making in the 13th legislative district, according to a recent poll.
According to this poll, Democratic challenger Robert "Bob" Brown, has opened a commanding lead over Republican incumbent Sam Thompson and it has the Thompson/Handlin campaign scrambling for last minute cash to flood mailboxes throughout the district with campaign literature. Thompson/Handlin campaign signs have also been flooding the area within the past 24 hours since the results of the poll has been know to the campaign.
Both men, Brown and Thompson reside in Middlessex's Old Bridge Township, and it is in Old Bridge where Thompson has lost a significant portion of his base to Bob Brown.
Brown in the mean time, has also been polling very strong throughout the rest of the district, thanks inpart to two major endorsments by the Newark Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine and NJ 101.5 Morning Show host Jim Gearhart:
Paul Mulshine said…. "Bob Brown is the sole democrat worth a damn in this state….." (October 19, 2009)
Jim Gearhart added "I endorse Bob Brown completely…" (Oct. 22,2009)
Thanks to these endorsements Brown is also within striking distance of the other incumbant in the race, Amy Handlin. And what makes this poll even more eye opening is that Brown's coattails seem to be extending towards his running mate Jim Grenafege, who is also within striking distance of Thompson.
You can learn more about both Bob Brown and Jim Grenafege by watching their campaign video's (below) or by logging onto their website assembly13.org

If A Democrat Can Come Up With A Property Tax Plan, Why Can't A Republican?
That's the question that Paul Mulshine asked in today's Star-Ledger when he talked about 13th District State Assembly Candidate, Bob Brown.
Mulshine's column today,Sen. Richard Codey and property taxes: Crossing the West Orange line, dealt with property taxes in West Orange and why Senate President/former Governor Richard Cody, decided recently to flee West Orange for Roseland.
What does the West Orange line mean? Mulshine uses the term to define when one's monthly property tax bill is close to or exceeds one's monthly mortgage payment, For most in West Organge that time may be coming soon.
When Mulshine asked Cody why as Senate President and a former Governor he couldn't deliver on property tax relief he didn't have an answer. All Cody could come up with was "Hopefully, you bring back as much money as you can."
Mulshine went on to note that when he asked Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Chris Christie, that same question he pretty much had the same answer. "A governor can't do it by himself," Christie said. "You have to work with municipalities and you have to get citizens to actively say, 'We're going to demand more out of our school districts and towns in terms of reduction of property taxes.' So, we're just telling the truth." And the truth, he said, is that "there's no silver bullet."
Mulshine used that cliche to then talk about Bob Brown and his plan for property tax relief which would cap local costs and:
"I would take the state income tax that is dedicated to only school property tax relief and take that money and distribute it equally per child all over the state of New Jersey, which would reduce your school property taxes by 50 percent," says Brown..
"Brown is a Democrat, by the way. So if a Democrat can come up with a property tax plan, why can't a Republican?" Mulshine concluded.
In his column posted on NJ.com, Mulshine included Bob Brown's recent campaign video for readers to watch. I posted this same video last week, but here it is again:

Legendary grindcore pioneers Terrorizer are back with an unforeseen vengeance. After 16 years of silence, the long awaited second album is finally here. The band has remained popular over the course of these years and has influenced countless bands that are around today. Features a re-recording of their classic song ''Dead Shall Rise'' with the new line-up. With members of Napalm Death and Morbid Angel in their ranks, these guys don't waste any time getting down to what they do best. Grinding is their business and business is good. (2006) Track list: Inevitable (Intro) / Darker Days Ahead / Crematorium / Fallout / Doomed Forever / Mayhem / Blind Army / Nightmare / Legacy Of Brutality / Dead Shall Rise V.06 / Victim Of Greed / Ghost Train (Outro).


There were certainly many more troupes who played Llandudno than are listed here and there would always be more than one troupe performing in any one season!
Perry & Allen's Minstrels, a company unusual at the time for performing white face.
Churchill's Minstrels on the other hand, a company formed by a member of the Perry and Allen group after the death of Joseph Perry in 1904, performed in the more usual black face.


On this day when it is so easy to feel self-righteous, perhaps more than other days, it is good to confess. Beloved, you have asked of me a very hard thing: unplug from the Internet long enough on Election Day to write this sermon and stand before you without checking the polls. I confess I hit "reload" as if up to the minute exit polls of undecided voters in the bell-weather districts of Lake County, Ohio will give me the confidence that only God ultimately provides. You have forced me to step away from the seduction of real-time updates passing as security. The Church father Tertullian says, "In vain do we flatter ourselves as to the necessities of human maintenance." Do you feel it too? It is so hard to step out of that rushing stream of information. What we do tonight, that we choose to gather here, putting down our smart phones and picking up bread, setting aside our newspapers and standing to receive the cup, are alternate signs, a realignment of our lives away from the seduction of more news and returning to the Author of our salvation. I am grateful for this hard thing you have asked me to do.
And since we're on the topic, I ask for your forgiveness for taking the preacher's prerogative and switching the Gospel reading tonight. Matthew inscribes the beatitudes into the "Sermon on the Mount" stretching over 109 verses. Luke writes the beatitudes into the "Sermon on the Plain" packed into only 30 verses- 4 statements of blessing, 4 statements of woe. To Matthew's 2+ hours of Everett oration, Luke offers Lincoln's Gettysburg address. And rather than repeat the sins of my ancestors, I decided to aim for brevity- you let me know if I can overcome my heredity. But the other reason to turn to Luke's version this night is where it takes place- on the plain.
Matthew's version of the Beatitudes takes place on the mountaintop. But in Luke, Jesus "came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured." You can imagine the campaign rally version of this: The disciple handlers are trying to keep Jesus moving through the crowd, trying to avoid him getting stuck healing one person for too long. They're trying to avoid 'gotcha questions" from the Pharisees. The zealots James and John are heading out to the smaller towns acting as surrogates to drum up the crowds. The tired, smelly people have been waiting for hours in the New Hampshire cold just to see Jesus. The Roman guards are worried about the size of the growing crowd. Do we have enough Port-A-Potties? And the photo-ops! Let's get a nice mix of diversity with some people from Judea and Jerusalem, Tyre and Sidon, but please, keep the crazy Syrophoenician outta the picture. And Judas has gone off message again… But it's not quite like that.
Instead, Jesus is healing all those who encounter him, all. It's not a handpicked crowd of the beautiful and worthy with a non-threatening mix of ethnic diversity. It's not a $10,000 a plate fundraiser with celebrities. No, Jesus' rally is free and for all those needing healing. And he's delivering a message that no man or woman seeking elected office in this country would ever give if they actually wanted to win. It is a scandal. Jesus begins by blessing the poor, a group of fellow residents that during this election were at best ignored and at worst demonized for sucking government resources as the 'dependent class.' Jesus blesses the poor. In Matthew's version of the Beatitude, Jesus blesses the "poor in spirit;" in Luke, Jesus blesses the poor. It's uncomfortable. It's a lot easier to spiritualize Jesus' message about the poor in spirit so as not to implicate our own comfort and riches. Matthew says Jesus blesses "those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." Luke avoids domesticating Christ's scandalous message and Jesus declares, "blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be filled." In Christ, God declares a partisan commitment to the poor and the oppressed.
It is absolutely valid to question whether in this country and economy, all stand on a level playing field. NFS Grundtvig, a Danish Lutheran pastor wrote "In Denmark, our hills our not high and our valleys are not low. So too our people … While there are people with more and people with less, no one has too much and no one has too little." But we cannot debate, cannot question one another on legitimate difference of policy from the mountain tops. We have to come to a level place.
Blessing and woe- all is to be changed, none are to stay the same in Luke. Yet again, a relationship with Christ flips the order of what is before us. This is not about guilt about what you have, but about all of us getting healed. In Luke's beatitudes, Jesus is expressing a real and primary concern for the materially poor and hungry now. But he also invites all of us to come get healed. And we delude ourselves if we don't think we are in need of healing too. But we've got to come down off of our mountains, off of our bully pulpits to a level place to be changed. We can stay on our mountain tops, shouting across the chasm of our country at one another, but we cannot be changed from there. We cannot be healed from there. Like that mess of clean and unclean people, we come down from our mountain tops to a level place to be healed. Jesus does not heal from a distance, but with hands touching broken bodies, fingers pressed on deaf ears, palms pressed on bent spines, hands lain on bodies wracked by death. For us to be healed, we have to walk down the mountains of our separation and be touched. You can't taste and see that the Lord is good if you stay on your mountain.
On the day when we are most divided, communion is Christ's invitation to come to a level place. You know what that act of bi-partisan hospitality looks like? A family member of mine, who shall remain nameless, without power or heat for the past 7 days in New Jersey after SuperStorm Sandy- a family member, an ACLU card-carrying, pro-choosing, gay-marrying, public-educating, liberal Democrat is being housed this night in the home of staunch fiscal conservative Republicans… with power and a spare bedroom. You know this. You know this is possible. You know that we can rise up to become our better angels. You know it is possible to disagree without being disagreeable. Now, I most certainly have candidates I hope and even pray will win tonight, because I think they will support policies the least, the lost and the lowly. No one is asking you to give up your political convictions. The invitation is to re-member your primary identity at this table.
"The English word 'vote' comes from the Latin 'votum,' meaning vow or wish." We think of vows of marriage, vows at ordination, vows before God, but our vote, our vow today is also a promise, a covenant before God and God's people to stay in community after Election Day. We vow to participate fully in this country, even when we disagree. We vow to name the nameless women and men who fought, were bruised and died for the right to vote. We vow to pray for our country, in the words of Lincoln "conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." What we do today is holy.
What you do tonight is prophetic. It may not feel so, but it is. In 1938, a German Roman Catholic priest Fr. Max Metzger gathered Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy and laity together in Meitingen-bei-Augsburg to pray and study together. The Nazis considered these ecumenical gatherings subversive to their political agenda. Father Max was arrested, tortured and accused of being a spy. At his trial, he declared "I have offered my life for the peace of the world and the unity of Christ's Church" and was executed at the Brandenburg prison on April 17, 1944. We are not in Hitler's Germany by any stretch, but you are participating in that same witness of Fr. Metzger and the ecumenical saints in Selma, and all those nameless faithful throughout history who refused to be divided from other Christians and co-opted for political gain at the expense of their primary identity in Christ. . In a season when churches seem best known in our political life for our impressive skill in dividing, what you do tonight is powerful. And what you do tomorrow and next Sunday and every day after this election when, because of your faith, you choose to treat others like children of God rather than political enemies.
But today, come to this level place, this table set for all. There is no receiving line for Republicans and a separate line for Democrats. There is no line for our Mileage Plus- Executive Class- Gold Star frequent fliers. There is no express check-out line for you with twelve sins or less to confess. No, at this table, there is no Jew or Greek, female or male, master or servant, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. There is one table, one Church, one Christ. The people shout, "I follow Romney!" "I follow Obama!" "Is Christ divided? Was Romney crucified for you? Were you baptized I the name of Obama?" By no means, St Paul proclaims! You cannot buy a seat at this table, you cannot earn your way to grace. You cannot do anything to separate yourself from the love of Christ Jesus. This is the level place where all things bend towards the One loves us unconditionally. No matter how you voted, or if you voted, Christ welcomes you here. Our unity comes from our baptism in Christ, not the ballot box. All you need do is come down off your mountain, stand in this level place with these other messy, unclean people in need of healing too and eat.

1) Put the military on the border: This should be a temporary measure until we can up our full-time personnel on the border but it should greatly reduce the number of illegals sneaking over the border.
2) Up the budget for the INS and border patrol significantly: This is exactly the sort of thing that our government SHOULD BE doing. Not spending hundreds of billions of dollars on corporate welfare for farmers and prescription drug plans for medicare.
3) Significantly increase penalties for businesses that hire illegal aliens: If you cut off the jobs, you cut off a big part of the reason illegals come here.
4) Ban illegals from receiving any government services except emergency medical care: No school, no government programs, nothing but emergency medical treatment and a one way ticket back home.
5) Encourage the police to arrest illegals: The INS is too overwhelmed/incompetent to get rid of illegal aliens in the US. That means we need to get the police involved to help.
6) Set up a worker program with Mexico: There's nothing wrong with allowing millions of Mexicans to come into the US, as long as they're paying their taxes and we are capable of monitoring their actions.
7) No amnesty for illegals: Giving illegal aliens in the US amnesty would be sending a terrible message. Not only would we be rewarding illegal aliens for breaking our laws, but we'd be encouraging tens of millions of illegals to sneak into the US so they be around the next time we give "amnesty." We may say we'll never do it again but our actions would say otherwise.
If you want to stop illegal immigration into the US and control our borders, this will get the job done.

Azure devops release pipeline is configured to deploy it to an staging slot first. Then it does an smoke web test (by going to one end-point) and if that is successful then it swap the slot with production.
When the slot is swaped it does the same smoke web test (by going to the same end-point on production) to check if it still works. A lot of times i then get an HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure.
Deploying the same build again fixes this problem most of the times. But i cannot find any logs or details why this error occurds and how to fix this.
Any idea how to debug an HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure on a Azure Web App?

A: Turns out Azure has an internally known (I guess they are not eager to share the news about this) problem with 'Application Insights'.
So turn that feature off (if it's on), and see if it solves the issue. That step solved the problem for me.

A: I had the same error with an Azure ASP.Net Core 2.2 that was running fine for several weeks and suddenly started generating this error from Oct 15 to Oct 17.
Microsoft tech support folks tried to help for a couple of days but they couldn't figure out why the stdout logs were blank. Then, after 2 days, it turned out that it was a known problem on Microsoft's side and they promised to fix. Indeed, after about 8 hours the application started working again (no change or redeployment of the application on my side!).
I asked for an explanation but they told me it was too sensitive.
Today, after 2 weeks of working well, the same application is back to showing the same exact error: "HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure"
So, most likely, the problem is not in your code or deployment procedure. Instead, the problem is Azure (perhaps how they provision the .net core 2.2 runtime). But for some odd reason Microsoft is not willing to share the details of the problem with their user community (or permanently solve it). Very disappointing!

I'm often asked to describe the stand out characteristics of a typical highly successful private dental practice — what's needed before growth is guaranteed? — and in response I always trot out my eight golden rules because they never fail my clients.
The revenue mix follows my 60/40 rule — 60 per cent of the revenue comes from new patient treatment plans and 40 per cent comes from the cohort of existing patients. This always stops my new clients in their tracks, but truthfully my fastest growing clients often reach 70/30. This doesn't mean they neglect their existing patients or don't want to take care of them after the expensive treatment plans have been delivered — no, they are simply skilled at delivering high value treatment plans to new patients that need them.
A clinical team has the right mix of talented and accredited clinicians covering all the right high value skill sets: orthodontics, implantology, DSD, sedation etc. It's really OK for the principal not to have any of these skills themselves, so long as they are available in the practice.
The practice has a qualified business manager who works to numbers. In particular they use the Fine KPIs to understand current performance by diagnosing performance issues and drilling down easily to understand them, making taking action easy and intuitive.
The practice works to a budget for everything, both sales and costs. This is what a business does — no surprises — we always work to SMART objectives, however little the objective (SMART = specific/measurable/achievable/realistic/time-bound).
There is a degree of business formality: a weekly review meeting, a monthly board meeting with actions and timelines with documented outcomes.
The practice has a robust marketing system including a high performing website, retail presence with effective signage, and an inbound handling and nurturing system that is capable of delivering the right mix of high value treatment patients, supported by a treatment coordinator. The system (and it really is a system) will deliver the right mix of high value treatment patients.
A culture that is not blame driven, but is open, honest and fair all the time and has a leader to believe in.
The business is always recruiting. If you ask me the single biggest blocker to private practice growth is the availability of specialists, dentists, hygienists and nurses. Get a reputation for being the best payer in your catchment and always be recruiting. Interview every applicant.
I hope you find something useful here, and don't hesitate to email or call for a no obligation chat if you'd like to discuss how to implement one or more of the eight golden rules.

More info on Arnold Stang
Arnold Stang: Map
Categories: Actors from Massachusetts > American voice actors > American actors > Infectious disease deaths in Massachusetts > Deaths from pneumonia
Arnold Stang (born September 28, 1925) is a comic actor who plays a small and bespectacled, yet brash and knowing big-city type. Never known as a solo performer (despite the existence of an unsold television pilot called The Arnold Stang Show), he works best in an ensemble cast in which he plays one of a diverse group of comic characters.
Early beginnings
Stang was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts , a son of Harold and Anna (Chest) Stang. He began performing at the age of nine in radio shows such as Let's Pretend, but playing in dramas and mysteries as what he once called "little killers," according to radio historian Gerald Nachman (Raised on Radio). He told Nachman that he knew his nasal voice was his meal-ticket. "I'm kind of attached to it," he quipped to Nachman. "My personal logo. It's like Jell-O or Xerox." He also told Nachman that the bulk of his fan mail doesn't even address his film or television work. "All about my radio career," he said.
He was popular on radio in the 1940s as a sidekick to cantankerous comedian Henry Morgan. That led to a recurring role in the TV show The School House on the Dumont Network in 1949. Then, during television's Golden Age, Stang became a supporting player on Milton Berle's Texaco Star Theater, often berating or heckling the big-egoed star for big laughs. Stang also had guest roles on several variety shows of the day including the Colgate Comedy Theater.
In films, he played Sparrow in The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) with Frank Sinatra and Kim Novak. In It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) he played Ray, who along with his partner Irwin (played by Marvin Kaplan), owns a gas station that is destroyed by Jonathan Winters. He appeared in Hello Down There (1969). In one of the oddest movie pairings, he partnered Arnold Schwarzenegger (billed as "Arnold Strong") in the latter's first film, the camp classic Hercules in New York (1970).
As a voice actor for animated cartoons, Stang provided the voice for Popeye's pal Shorty (who looked somewhat like Stang), Herman the mouse in a number of Famous Studios cartoons, Tubby Tompkins in a few Little Lulu shorts, the famous Hanna-Barbera lead character Top Cat (modeled explicitly on Phil Silvers's popular television character as scheming, wisecracking Sgt. Bilko), and Catfish on Misterjaw. He also provided many extra voices for the Cartoon Network series Courage the Cowardly Dog. On television, he appeared in commercial for the Chunky candy bar, where he would list all of its ingredients, smile and say, "Chunky, what a chunk of chocolate!" He provided the voice of the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee in the 1980s and was also a spokesman for Vicks Vapo-Rub.
Stang appeared on an episode of The Cosby Show with guest star Sammy Davis Jr. In one TV ad he played Luther Burbank, proudly showing off his newly-invented "square tomato" to fit neatly in typical square slices of commercial bread, then being informed that the advertising bakery had beat him to it by producing round loaves of bread. He played the photographer in Dennis the Menace.
Arnold and his wife, the former JoAnne Taggart, reside in New Rochelle, New York . Joanne Stang writes for the New York Times. They have two children.

Lumina Collective
My teenage years are vivid. After a childhood marred by sadness I relished in the independence of being able to rebel. I was shaped by those wild years, though the only physical evidence remaining are the scars on my arms, my teen years have made me an uncommonly calm adult.
I met Daisy when she was 15. I had been teaching in the small country town where she lives and one of my students had casually mentioned she knew of "a bunch of girls who got pregnant at 14". The first day I met her she arrived in a leopard print dress, looking like a doll that had been dressed to look grown up. Her mother , an exceedingly kind woman who suffers from debilitating illness, told me she could not control her daughter whom she nicknamed "Cyclone Daisy" Our friendship developed with the speed and intensity reserved for teenage girls. The instant reach of social media meant she could contact me constantly and, being that I was not an authority figure in her life, she was unfiltered and open with me. The next time I saw her she had a boyfriend, Cam, who looked much younger than Daisy when she was made up and posing for my camera. Cam would proudly tell me about his petty crimes, showing me photos of his graffiti and images of him with his friends drunk throwing gang signs. Daisy would listen on, devoted in her puppy love of him and wanting my approval. Their relationship lasted 12 or so months, becoming more and more volatile. Neither of them attended school and would spend their days in Daisy's caravan smoking and fighting. I never met Cam's parents but he told me they did not care about him living with his girlfriend. Daisy tells me rumours that he is now in trouble with the law, something I still find hard to reconcile with the baby-faced boy I knew.
Daisy struggled with her mental health, self-harming and engaging in dangerous behaviour. Her isolation was compounded by her mother's sickness, she often said to me all she wanted was to be able to spend time with her Mum like other girls.
Daisy had few friends visit but she would speak often of her cousin Shania. Her mother did not want the two girls spending time together saying they were a terrible influence on each other. I would hear stories of Shania's hard upbringing and how it had shaped her. When Daisy called me to say her mother had relented and Shania was staying with her and that I should come photograph her, I didn't know what to expect. Shania greeted me with a nervous smile, her overly made up eyes large and soft. I could see little of the toughness I had heard of, she struck me as having none of the confidence of her slightly older cousin. She showed me photos of her little sister, Teeya, and asked if I could come photograph them in the city where she lived.
Shania was in constant contact from that day- sending me selfies for my approval, texting me her streams of consciousness and calling me. Her home life was chaotic, she lived with her father and had been estranged from her mother since birth. She told me she suffered from depression and coped by self-medicating. She had a stream of boyfriends, always asking me if I thought they were "cuter than Cam". She continued to idolise Daisy from afar, saying how much she adored Daisy's young son, and how beautiful Daisy is.
Crime and drugs became part of her life and I struggled to know of the best way to help her. She would say I was the closest thing she had to a mother, words that stung me as I knew I could not in fact intervene the way she needed a parent to. After a heated discussion about her life choices she blocked my number and I heard nothing from her for 5 months.
I received a friend request from 'JohnandShania'. She had a new boyfriend who was slightly older and was living with him. I came to visit her, shocked by how much healthier she looked and overwhelmed by the difference in her living conditions. She pulled me aside to tell me a secret
"I'm pregnant, it's early don't tell anyone". Her daughter, Ellie Jean, is now one and Shania is determined to give her the childhood she did not have.
Shania's little sister Teeya is the youngest of the girls but her confidence outweighs both her sibling's and her cousin's bravado. 12 when I met her she asked if I could photograph her even though she wasn't quite a teenager. Through Shania's silent months I would check in with her, she had stopped going to school and started to send me images of herself heavily made up wanting my approval. Her fights with her sister took on a greater intensity once Shania became pregnant, with both girls sending me furious messages as I tried to play peacekeeper. At 15, Teeya messaged me excited to say she had a boyfriend she was serious about. I photographed the two of them, he is a polite boy, shy around adults. She moved out of home to be with him and left school. I messaged her earlier this month and she responded saying she couldn't see me as she has been vomiting with hyperemesis gravidarum in the early stages of pregnancy.
In continuing to photograph them I watch the cycle begin to re-establish. Daisy is 20 now but has no employment prospects and has not been able to continue her education. She spends most of her days in her caravan on social media but has dreams of being a nail technician. Shania will be moving away with her daughter and boyfriend at the end of the month. Teeya is determined to attend school once her baby is born. Though she is no longer with her boyfriend she is hopeful they will be able to co parent.
The images are record of our time together, the girls perform for me in front of the camera, never relaxing in its presence. In that way they are allowed agency over their representation- they are smart girls and know how tough their lives are. My role as a photographer is secondary to our relationship, I am constantly shocked how open they are with me and how, despite their bravado, they need an adult ally in their lives. I hope to continue the series as the girls become women and remain ever hopeful for their futures.
Daisyanna when she was 16. Daisy was the first girl I photographed for this series. She lives in a small town an hour out of the city of Melbourne. Despite her doll like appearance, Daisy has a powerful sexuality. A mother at 15 she understands the power she holds over men in a way that is rare. Beautiful and volatile she dreams of a life in the city.

Exhibition opening Speech from Eminent photographic artist Ruth Maddison.
For Morganna's opening, Teenage wildlife 29 August 2019, Counihan Gallery, Melbourne.
Morganna and I met about 4-5 years ago, and since our instant connection from across a crowded room, we have had many terrific conversations about our respective projects, and that has included the ongoing development of Teenage wildlife. I'm really happy to be sharing tonight with you Morganna. Thank you for asking me to launch your 2nd solo exhibition.
Teenage wildlife.
I'm going to say something about two of the many layers of Morganna's work that are particularly striking for me.
Have you seen the 1953 movie, The Wild One? Marlon Brando.
The famous lines:
A girl asks: Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?
Johnny (Brando) says: What've you got?
And for several generations now rebellion has been the natural state of teenager hood.
But Daisy, Shania, Teeya - what are they rebelling against? They don't seem to be rebelling against anything. Not rebelling against a parent or parents, & in fact would like more love, more time with parents.
Dealing with our own damage, or our surrounding damaged circumstances, is monumentally affected by class. Class and choice are tightly interwoven, and for me, Teenage wildlife speaks loudly to class. It's not inevitable, but class at the very least affects choice, and often defines choice.
When I look at the quietly loaded image of Daisy and her mother Kathy, which is maybe the most powerful and poignant image in the series for me, I think: what did Kathy look like at Daisy's age? How did she present herself to the camera as a 15? What were her dreams for her own life at Daisy's age? And… can Daisy break the cycle?
I WANT the girls to rebel. I don't want to watch the cycle re-establish.
But Daisy, Shania & Teeya – all dropped out of school, all pregnant in their early teens.
Morganna said to me:
Troubled boys often move into petty crime…or not so petty.
Troubled girls get pregnant.
And, as Morganna also said – those years from about 16 into our 20s - are when you have the most fun. Exploring, trying a lot of things. Having a good time.
But if you are pregnant at 14, 15, and drop out of school – what is your fun? where is your peer group? Who are your role models? And if you have a parent or parents who are in trouble – financial, physical, mental - where is your support, your affirmation of self?
About 2 weeks ago, at home thinking about tonight, I heard a song and I thought – this is the theme song for Teenage wildlife. It's a golden oldie - Mr. Sandman, 1st recorded by the Cordettes in 1958,
Mr. Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please put on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman bring me
Please please bring me
Mr. Sandman bring me a dream.
Teenage wildlife is as much about the development of relationships between a social documentary photographer - someone who cares - Morganna, and her three subjects, which quickly became complex and close & complicated.
Morganna has had relationships with Daisy, Shania and Teeya over 5 intense, troubled and loving years. She has played an important role in the girl's lives. As she says: an adult ally.
"Shania would say I was the closest thing she had to a mother – words that stung me as I knew I could not in fact intervene in the way she needed a parent to"
And there it is– being a trusted adult in a troubled teen's life but not in the family, is a particularly fraught relationship. You have a special intimacy with the teens, but you have no control or power, so you are really negotiating with yourself all the time in the light of seeing self-inflicted dangerous and damaging behaviour. It's a major balancing act for anyone in that situation.
Morganna isn't just 'the trusted adult' and the photographer. She loves these girls, she identifies with these girls. She had her own difficult years as a teen.
We all want connection and we all want to give & receive protection, and we all want freedom. So, there's the conflict. How much do I give to you? How much do I give to myself?
Teenage wildlife is an intimate portrayal of three troubled young women who willingly and openly connected with Morganna & allowed her to make and exhibit and publish this work. My heart goes out to Daisy, Shania and Teeya, along with my best hopes for their futures.
Congratulations Morganna - wonderful tenacious Morganna - for the exhibition, and the publication of your book. Two mighty achievements coming to fruition simultaneously. You've working really hard for this night.
For me, Teenage wildlife is extremely thought-provoking, confronting, heart-breaking and heart-warming.

Finasteríd je učinkovina iz skupine zaviralcev testosteron-5-alfa reduktaze, ki se uporablja pri zdravljenju hipertrofije (povečanja) prostate in moške plešavosti.

Uporaba

Benigna hiperplazija prostate
V odmerku 5 mg dnevno se finasterid uporablja za zdravljenje benignega povečanja prostate. Za dosego terapevtskega učinka je navadno potrebno vsaj šestmesečno zdravljenje. Po prekinitvi zdravljenja se terapevtske koristi v 6 do 8 mesecev zopet izničijo. Olajša lahko simptome, povezane z benignim povečanjem prostate, kot so oteženo uriniranje, nočno vstajanje zaradi potrebe po uriniranju, otežen začetek uriniranja in zmanjšan curek seča.

Moški tip plešavosti
Finasterid se uporablja za zdravljenje t. i. moškega tipa plešavosti, in sicer v nižjem odmerku 1 mg na dan. Šest mesecev trajajoče zdravljanje izboljša plešavost za okoli 30 %, vendar učinek traja le v času trajanja zdravljenja..

Nenamenska uporaba
Finasterid se zaradi svojega antiandrogenega delovanja občasno nenamensko uporablja za hormonsko nadomestno zdravljenje moških transseksualcev, in sicer v kombinaciji z estrogenskim hormonskim nadomestkom. Vendar je o učinkovitosti za ta namen le malo podatkov iz kliničnih raziskav.

Kontraindikaije
Finasterid se ne sme uporabljati pri ženskah, predvsem zaradi tveganja za pojav prirojenih napak ploda. Spada v nosečnostno kategorijo X.

Neželeni učinki
Glavni neželeni učinek njegove uporabe je impotenca, ki se pojavi pri 8,1 % pacientov v prvem letu.

Finasterid lahko poveča tveganje za pojav raka prostate oziroma zamaskira njegovo zgodnjo diagnozo, ker zmanjšuje vrednosti PSA v serumu. Prav tako ni možno izključiti tveganja za pojav raka dojke pri moških, ki uporabljajo finasterid.

Mehanizem delovanja
Finasterid je zaviralec testosteron-5-alfa reduktaze, zlasti izooblike tipa II.  Z zaviranjem encima 5-alfa reduktaze preprečuje pretvorbo testosterona v dihidrotestosteron in s tem zniža serumske vrednosti dihidrotestosterona za 65–75 %, raven dihidrotestosterona v tkivu prostate (kjer prevladuje izzoblika tipa II) pa celo za 85–90 %. Finasterid zavira izzoobliko tipa II 100-krat močneje kot izoobliko tipa I. Poleg tega zavira tudi 5-beta reduktazo, prav tako izoobliko II, vendar pa to naj ne bi imelo vpliva na presnovo moški spolni hormon|moških spolnih hormonov.

Znižanje ravni dihidrotestosteroa v prostati oblaži povečanje prostate in zmanjša tveganje za razvoj raka prostate. Znižanje koncentracije dihidrotestosterona v lasišču zavira izpadanje las.

I checked out the 'classical guitar' preset on one of my compressors the other day and was quite surprised by the settings. It led me to wonder. Do you use compression? If so do you have favourite 'go to' settings for attack/release/ratio?
I find that the Neumann mic and my playing cause a fair bit of compression already. I thought my playing had sufficient dynamic variety but I have to try extra hard to reveal it when recording. If anything, a classical guitar recording should have little or no compression so as to make the most of the dynamic range. At least that's in my amateur opinion.
Pete, I'm curious what compressor you used.
I use split-band compression sometimes. It can tame overly strong low-mids while leaving the upper mids and highs uncompressed, which is how I like to do it. For the low mids compression settings (centered around 350 Hz) I usually use an attack of around 30 ms, release of 500 ms, and ratio between 2:1 and 4:1, depending on what it needs. I don't use broadband compression. To my ear it tends to squash the highs, even with a slow attack and low ratio, and make for an unnatural sound.
That sounds like a plan. Lawler. I have an instinctive dislike for multiband compression since it becomes unnatural so quickly, but I get what you're saying. Broadband can also sound unnatural, but it seems to me that when it does this is often to do with equing rather than compression (so would be more inclined to eq out the low mids than mutiband them). I'd agree with Kurt that often no compression is the way to go but some styles need it and even some Bream recordings are noticeably (albeit tastefully) squashed.
I can't remember offhand the compressor I checked - something from Waves I think. I'll check when I'm next on the machine. It was set to minimum attack, longish release and a 4:1 ratio. I was surprised by the short attack time and also the ratio, which normally I'd keep down to 2:1. It's a nice set-up and certainly works for 'pop' classical, a solo in a pop track or something jazzy, but is too much for Bach. It was also set to analogue, which adds noise, but I like a bit of noise.
For the classical purist recording engineers compressors are a 'no go', and usually I don't think there are really doing anything good to a good recording. But if you have some acoustical problems in the recording room, a multi-band compressor of decent quality can help with taming some of the issues, if used wisely and minimalistically. You could A-B to compare the results using the bypass switch, and if you hear a big difference, it's quite likely too much.
Waves has a very nice compressor called Renaissance Compressor. Looks very simplistic but it's a greatly programmed and powerful piece of software.
You could of course use similar settings on any compressor software or hardware.
@Kurt Penner: I don't quite get what you are saying about your Neumanns. In which way do you think the mics are acting as compressors? I wouldn't be surprised if you would be playing with volumes over 100dB, but what your describing sounds like an automatic limiter being switched on in you recording chain (whatever you use as recorder - check the automatic limiters or levelers).
I dont believe there is any limiter or compression in my recording chain. If I'm being honest, I think the problem is actually that my playing has much less dynamic range than I think it does.
But the km184 into zoom h5 hears so much quiet detail that I find it a challenge to make a decrescendo or ppp the way that I hear it in my head. Perhaps this is what is meant by "playing for the mic". A stage actor's whisper is different than a voice actor in a studio.
In other words, I often perceive this but I think it's just my playing that is the problem.
Me too if a low-mid imbalance was constant, or nearly. And I like EQ automation for those times when I want to reduce boominess in occasional spots without cutting the richness (that beautiful 350 Hz range) of tone overall. Re split-band compression, even just the crossover filters in a multiband compressor change the sound. And if misused the plugin can ruin the sound quickly. Can be a good tool though for some uses. Since the thread was about compression I mentioned the split-band compressor.
And certainly best to record in a room with no low-mid problems that needs no EQ or compression.
Of course, I know this phenomenon of inhibition while recording. But that sounds different from compression in the sense of a compressor kicking in at a certain threshold.
1. Don't use headphones while recording, just setup your recording system, check the levels, give yourself some security margin in the levels in case you get loud and then just play - no headphones or monitors!
2. As storage space on SDHC or CF cards has become cheap, don't interrupt yourself for switching the recorder on and off - play continuously, make repetitions of the piece in one go and try to forget as good as you can the microphones. It's difficult in the beginning, but works well with time and practice.
Rojarosguitar- Your suggested comp. settings seem appropriate and are much more in line with what I'd go for naturally.
Kurt - I think you're hearing a common effect, which is that your playing dynamics seem to be reduced by the recording. I'm not sure how much of this is to do with misjudged playing, psychology, the recording chain or the fact that the mics are not hearing what the player is hearing, but it's not unusual. It might be your playing but it is also just what happens. Or so it seems to me. I think our musical intentions don't always translate into tangible results and that sometimes we think we are, say, increasing the dynamics when we're just increasing the tension in our hands to little effect.
I'd agree that no compression is the purest approach and the most harmless to the guitar, but I like compression and for some styles of music it's necessary to add some loudness. A long way back I used to use a Drawmer on CG and found i possible to push it quite hard before ruining the sound, but for some reason with vsts I find it more difficult to set it up unobtrusively.
Drawmer made very fine compressors in the heyday of hardware compressors, very inconspicuous, I still have one ... I think Waves Renaissance and also the waves classic compressor come very close to this; from Softube there is also a new Drawmer compressor plugi that can come in handy with guitar, as it is extremely simple in use.
Personally I'm not so purist and don't mind a slight compression with CG, if it is inconspicuous. It compensate for the listener for the lack of visual clues. I suspect our brain also works as a compressor/limiter/leveler ... I also find your remarks about the psychology of self-preception as a player very interesting!
I'd agree with Kurt that often no compression is the way to go but some styles need it and even some Bream recordings are noticeably (albeit tastefully) squashed.
Isn't that just the tape, in which case you want to record on tape or use tape simulators in software.
Some if it would be tape but I hear more than this. Maybe in the days of cassettes some additional compression was applied.
The point about compression making up for the absence of visual clues hadn't occurred to me before but seems plausible. Our ears compress sounds naturally and this is partly why mechanical compression works. The idea that visual clues allow us to be comfortable with wide dynamic ranges without losing the plot seems correct.
I've been trying out the H-comp from Waves but am not a fan yet. I have Renaissance but for some reason haven't tried it. I'll do so next time I need one.
It's an old thread but it came up again in a different context so I contribute a little here too.
The point with compressors is that there is no good or bad per sé, it totally depends on material. There are some compressors I love to use on voice, others on cello, and others on guitar. The H-Compressor as well as V-Compressor by Waves are very good on some things, but not so much on CG. You need something that is quick an transparent and does not emulate the coloration of vintage compressors. I have many compressors in my DAW, but somehow I end up using either Waves Renaissance Compressor or Ozone Izotope 5 or 6 mastering compressor; both are very inconspicuous and can be used so subtly that you wouldn't believe there is a compressor in the chain; but when you AB the track, you hear that it helps the music. Recording is not live performance, and making a good recording is an art in itself. Well captured material is the first step of it, of course!
BTW Izotope has also a kind of multiband compressor that can be very helpful. But as every multiband compressor, it should be used very cautiously.
And talking about digital tools, here one another that might help you improve your record: Flux StereoTool. Its free and it's fabulous to correct spatiality and L-R-Balance problems.

TotalRL Top 10: Shock results of 2018
December 6, 2018 Matthew Shaw
One thing you can't knock the 2018 season for was its ability to raise our eyebrows.
Whether it be Leeds' woeful title defence, Shaun Wane's unexpected resignation or Leigh's disastrous return to the Championship, there was always a shock around the corner.
So to celebrate the underdogs of the year, we've put together a list of the top ten shock results of 2018.
10. Toulouse 34-23 Hull KR – September 22nd
September 22nd will go down as one of the finest days in the second tier's history and most certainly its greatest moment in the Super 8s era.
Three Championship sides took on three Super League counterparts on the same day in three different countries, and the lower league trip swept the board.
Toronto's win over Widnes was no real surprise, but London's victory over Salford most certainly was, even if they were without their lynchpin halfback, Jackson Hastings.
But undoubtedly, the biggest surprise was to see Toulouse defeat Tim Sheens' Robins.
What was most astonishing was that KR had scorched into a comfortable 19-0 lead inside the opening 25 minutes.
But Olympique stormed back, scoring 34 unanswered points as Rhys Curran, Chris Centrone (2), Stan Robin, Gavin Marguerite and Bastien Ader all raced in.
The result ultimately made no significant difference to either side in the Qualifiers, but it was a huge shock all the same.
9. Leeds Rhinos 16-17 Toronto Wolfpack – September 29th
Jacob Emmitt of Toronto Wolfpack
The rapid rise of Toronto Wolfpack has been well-documented during their rise through the lower leagues.
But who could have ever, ever believed a club that didn't even exist two years earlier would turn up to the home of the defending Super League champions and turn them over on their own patch?
Perhaps it's a result to best summarise Leeds' torrid campaign, but they were left humbled by their lower-league counterparts as Gareth O'Brien, who else, nailed a drop goal from distance for the win.
Leeds would still secure safety, but this was a result that proved it only papered over the cracks.
For Toronto, it was their breakout moment, although they would have a moment to forget not too long after…
8. Halifax 6-27 Oldham – March 20th
It was a great year for League 1.
Not only did Bradford and York fight it out in a memorable title race, but across the board, clubs in the third tier proved that not only is the gap closing between Super League and the Championship, but also the Championship and League 1.
Whitehaven superbly dispatched of Dewsbury and Rochdale in the Challenge Cup while York City Knights gave the eventual winners, Catalans, an almighty fright.
But there was no bigger shock than the one in Round 4 as Oldham eased to victory over Championship high-flyers Halifax.
The game was played midweek due to bad weather and with a trip to Toulouse coming at the weekend, Fax decided to rest some players.
But they were soon left regretting that as the Roughyeds built a 14-0 lead just after half-time. And they never looked like relinquishing it, as tries from Danny Langtree, Ben West (2) and Paul Crook saw them ease to victory.
It was Halifax's second home defeat of the season, and they remained unbeaten at home for the rest of the regular season thereafter.
7. Bradford Bulls 18-24 Workington Town – August 19th
The honest truth is that the story had already been written before the game had started.
When Workington arrived in West Yorkshire for this match, they arrived looking to trip the Bulls up on their promotion stampede. Bradford were top of the league via points difference and needed to win.
But Leon Pryce, a legend of Odsal after his glittering playing days, had other ideas.
Pryce had already masterminded one victory over his boyhood club earlier in the year, but nobody truly expected he could find a way to repeat that on the Bulls' turf.
But that he did. Sean Penkywicz's late try left Bradford shellshocked as they suffered at the expense of the Cumbrians yet again. It was a result that saw Pryce become an Odsal villain, although we imagine all will eventually be forgiven.
The result cost Bradford the League 1 title, with York overtaking them and staying unbeaten for the rest of the season to secure the title.
Bradford would not be denied promotion, as they finally gained revenge over the Cumbrians by defeating them 27-8 in the League 1 play-off final.
6. Warrington Wolves 80-10 Hull FC – August 30th
Bryson Goodwin of Warrington Wolves reaches the high ball to go over for the 5th try.
OK, the outcome of this match wasn't so much a surprise.
It was just how emphatic it proved to be.
Hull FC travelled to Warrington with a depleted squad and a load of youngsters still finding their feet.
Few thought the Black and Whites could really win the game. But nobody expected them to be obliterated like this.
A 14-try rout saw Lee Radford's side concede a club record 80 points. Bryson Goodwin was the main benefactor as he scored five tries in one of the heaviest scorelines in Super League history.
Hull were perhaps unlucky, after all, it seemed the Wolves had learned their lesson from a few months earlier…
5. Warrington Wolves 30-34 Castleford Tigers – June 8th
Roll the clocks back a few months before Warrington's annihilation of Hull, they had been left humiliated by an equally patched up Castleford.
Greg Eden, Jake Webster, Ben Roberts, Luke Gale, Paul McShane, Junior Moors and Liam Watts, all dead-set first-teamers, were unavailable.
Daryl Powell was forced to hand debuts to teenager Calum Turner and Mitch Clark, while such were the depths of their injury crisis they recruited Quentin Laulu-Togaga'e, who had spent his entire career in the Championship.
It was a nightmare scenario for any coach that was only made worse by the fact Cas had to travel to face a Warrington team that had won 12 of its last 13 matches.
But against all the odds, Castleford stunned the Wolves. Tied at 20-20 at the break, the Tigers went ahead through the debutant QLT, before he set up Oliver Holmes for the decisive try.
4. Widnes Vikings 20-21 London Broncos – August 9th
Joy at the end of the match for the winners…London Broncos with Vikings floored
The 2018 Qualifiers campaign was the most anticipated of all.
Perhaps for the first time, there was a genuine belief across the game that the Championship sides could consistently mix it up with their Super League counterparts.
If there were any doubters, they were gone after the first game of the comp. London headed to Widnes knowing the Vikings had the weight of the world on their shoulders.
After losing their last 16 Super League matches, Widnes were undoubtedly vulnerable, but surely, surely, they would win at home to a lower-league side?
Nope. The Broncos, trailing 6-0 at half-time, struck first after the break through Mark Ioane. Although a Chris Dean try and penalty goal gave the Vikings a 14-4 lead, London exploited Widnes' nerves and fragilities with three tries in eight minutes to go 20-14 ahead.
Krisnan Inu' levelled the game with five minutes to go and hand Widnes a platform to escape with the points.
However, there are few players you would rather have in your side when you need a match-winning moment than Jarrod Sammut.
With barely 60 seconds left, the maverick halfback kicked a superb field-goal to win the match for London and throw the Qualifiers wide open.
It was the beginning of the end of Widnes' time in Super League.
3. St Helens 16-35 Catalans – August 5th
Oh how St Helens fans must regret their joyful cheers when they drew Les Dracs in the semi-final draw.
Live on the BBC, Saints fans roared with delight when they avoided Leeds and Warrington. Instead, they were given a match against Catalans, with the prize being a trip to Wembley and a place in the final.
In fairness to Saints fans, at the time, it seemed like a free pass. Steve McNamara's side was still near the bottom of the table after an awful start to the season.
However, in the weeks leading up to the game, Catalans improved. They started winning games and climbed away from the bottom four.
Even still, they were given no chance against Saints, who, at the time, appeared to be marching towards the treble.
But in the most shocking 40 minutes of the season, Catalans established a 27-0 lead. Tries from Lewis Tierney, Ben Garcia (2) and the excellent Tony Gigot wrapped up a completely dominant first-half performance.
Saints tried to stir a fightback and threatened to do so as Mark Percival scored twice and LMS bagged another. But Sam Moa killed any hopes and sent Catalans to Wembley. We don't need to remind you what happened there.
Some argue Saints never recovered. Their form dipped thereafter and, although they still won the League Leaders' Shield, they failed to make the Grand Final.
Meanwhile, Catalans created history, becoming the first non-English team to win the Challenge Cup in its 121-year history.
2. Barrow Raiders 24-20 Leigh Centurions – February 18th
Put the words cold, wet, muddy, February and Barrow in the same sentence and you'll send shivers down nearly every player's spine.
If you're wondering why just ask the Leigh Centurions players who succumbed to the mighty Raiders in round 3 of the Championship campaign.
Leigh, whose owner, Derek Beaumont, had boasted about their NRL and Super League superstars just a few weeks earlier, were thoroughly expected to ease past Paul Crarey's side.
However, Barrow had already held Toronto to a draw a week earlier, and they were hungry for another giant-killing.
It didn't look like they'd have any joy. Leigh went 20-12 up at half-time and looked comfortable.
But with a partisan crowd roaring them on, Barrow's part-timers humbled Leigh's star-studded side as Shane Toal completed his hat-trick to leave Leigh in crisis.
The Centurions never recovered. It was the start of a losing run that saw them miss out on a place in the top four, which brought with it awful consequences. The Centurions almost went out of business. Thankfully, they have survived, but none of their 17 players from this match remains at the club as it stands and they've been forced to go part-time.
Had disaster struck, this day would have been regarded as the killer blow.
1. Toronto Wolfpack 2-4 London Broncos – October 7th
It was supposed to be the dawning of a new era for Super League.
For the first time ever, a Trans-Atlantic team was heading to the sport's major European competition. They were to be welcomed with open arms and be a part of Super League's new era.
Unfortunately for them, nobody had handed London a script.
The Broncos were given absolutely no chance of winning the Million Pound Game. They had been to Canada twice in 2018 and left with their tails between their legs.
Toronto, meanwhile, had only lost twice on home soil in their history, and one of those games was against Featherstone when they rested numerous key players.
However, London played the game out to near perfection. They got nerves jangling early as Jarrod Sammut kicked an early penalty goal, and from there the game entered a gritty, ugly arm-wrestle.
Toronto, with expectation hanging over them, looked cagey and nervous. They most certainly couldn't find a way through London's stern defence.
Gareth O'Brien would draw them level in the second-half but Sammut soon kicked London back ahead.
The Wolfpack tried everything to find their bite, and eventually, it appeared they had found their path to Super League. Blake Wallace scythed through the defence and darted for the line.
However, he was stopped, miraculously, by London's homegrown fullback, Alex Walker. It was a tackle that ultimately won them the game.
It will be forever remembered as the Million Pound Tackle, and the game will go down as one of the most memorable.

Q: How to include a specific list of files in `src`? This derivation seems to include all files in the current directory, recursively, as expected:
src = builtins.path {
  name = pname;
  path = ./.;
};

I'd like to only include a small subset of that; content/index.html and package.json. But my filter seems to be excluding everything:
src = builtins.path {
  name = pname;
  path = ./.;
  filter = path: type:
    builtins.elem path [
      ./content/index.html
      ./package.json
    ];
};

At least according to pkgs.mkYarnPackage:

error: opening file '/nix/store/[…]/package.json': No such file or directory

What's wrong with my filter?
The following filter does work, but is a bit of a hack:
filter = path: type:
  builtins.elem (baseNameOf path) [
    "index.html"
    "package.json"
  ];

I guess there's some issue with the equality of ./package.json and the src entry. Are the paths returned by builtins.path not the same data type/values as ./foo?

A: Found the answer: converting builtins.path entries to paths is as simple as this:
filter = path: type:
  builtins.elem (/. + path) [
    ./content
    ./content/index.html
    ./package.json
  ];

(You have to list each directory in addition to its contents.)

Such a Morning
A film by Amar Kanwar
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
Maxwell-Cummings Auditorium
1379A Sherbrooke Street West
April 5, 2018 - 7:00 pm
Amar Kanwar is an Indian artist known for multimedia installations and documentary films that take a poetic approach to questions of politics, ecology, sexuality, violence and justice in the context of the Indian state's past and present. In Such a Morning, a single-channel film made for last year's Documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel, however, Kanwar not only turns inward but, through extraordinary cinematography and pointed use of sound, pushes the aesthetic dimension of his work to revelatory levels. The protagonist of Such a Morning is a mathematics professor who is going blind and has retreated to an abandoned railway car surrounded by verdant jungle. In this heightened, isolated setting, he experiences a series of visions and epiphanies about his life and his world that he documents as "Almanac of the Dark." In Kanwar's words, "The film searches for a sensory, hallucinatory and metaphysical way to re-comprehend the difficult times we are living in… It seeks to navigate multiple transitions between mathematics and poetry, democracy and fascism, fear and freedom."
Such a Morning was produced with the support of the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, AKF Productions, New Delhi, and Marian Goodman Gallery. It is presented in cooperation with the artist and Marian Goodman Gallery.

Amar Kanwar has distinguished himself through films and multimedia works, which explore the politics of power, violence and justice. His multi‐layered installations originate in narratives often drawn from zones of conflict and are characterized by a unique poetic approach to the personal, social and political. In addition to India, where it has been exhibited widely, Amar Kanwar's work has been shown in the last four editions of Documenta (2017, 2012, 2007, 2002), at the Tate Modern, London (2017), Bildmuseet, Umeå, Sweden (2017), Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2013), the Fotomuseum Winterthur, Zurich (2012), the Stedelijk, Amsterdam (2008), and the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (2007). Recent solo exhibitions of Kanwar's work have been held at Marian Goodman Gallery, London, Goethe Institut Mumbai (2016) and the Assam State Museum, Assam (2015), in 2013 and 2014 at the Art Institute of Chicago; and TBA21, Vienna. Kanwar has been the recipient of the 2017 Prince Claus Award, 2014 Annenberg Prize for Art and Social Change by Creative Time; the Edvard Munch Award for Contemporary Art, Norway (2005), Golden Gate Award, San Francisco International Film Festival, USA (1999), as well as the Golden Conch, Mumbai International Film Festival, India (1998).
Peter White is an independent curator and writer who lives in Montreal. Formerly a journalist and art museum curator and director in Canada, he has organized numerous exhibitions of contemporary and historical art and developed a wide range of museum programming initiatives. Among his projects are Out There is Somewhere: The Arctic in Pictures, an interdisciplinary exhibition that examined the visual representation of the Arctic since contact from both Inuit and non-Inuit perspectives, and Moving Ideas: A Contemporary Cultural Dialogue with India, a multi-year project of exhibitions, events and programs that took place in India and Canada. He is editor of Naming a Practice: Curatorial Strategies for the Future (Banff: Banff Centre Press, 1996); organized the exhibition and is author of It Pays to Play: British Columbia in Postcards,1950s-1980s (Arsenal Pulp Press, 1998); and co-editor of Beyond Wilderness: The Group of Seven, Canadian Identity and Contemporary Art (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2007). In 2012 he organized Jeremy Borsos: 8 mm Redux, Judging Books by Their Covers, and Technical Tempations: The Films of Maria Lassnig for SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art in Montreal and in 2015 was co-curator of the exhibition A Sublime Vernacular: The Landscape Paintings of Levine Flexhaug. He has taught on curatorial practice in the Museums Studies Program at the University of Toronto and in 2008 was recipient of the Canada Council for the Arts Joan M. Lowndes Award in recognition of achievement in critical and curatorial work on contemporary Canadian art.
