ttg studios was a recording studio in los angeles , california , founded by ami hadani and tom hidley . [ 1 ]
iirc , ttg studios began using 24 track recording equipment in 1968 . i ' m trying to find out if linda ronstadt ' s
his partner and engineer tom hidley had a lot to do with my studios too . . i own paramount recording in hollywood and encore studios in burbank . .
the rest of that album [ the doors’ “waiting for the sun” ] was recorded at ttg studios , which stood for “two terrible guys” ( laughs ) .

we ' ve talked about him before here , mainly regarding the legendary ttg studios on highland . ami was an israeli from the north in a place called kfar giladi .
zappa once in a interview said ttg stood for
two tough guys
.
corner . some people just called it sunset studios , but that causes confusion with sunset sound .
so he invented one . and he did it with just three letters : ttg .
24 track / 2 inch recording didn ' t begin to be adopted by most studios until 1976 - 1977 . ttg studios was on the low end in the 1968 time frame . an unusual version of hand sown / home grown exists . in the uk , there was a scarce mono issue . i own a copy .
the jimi hendrix experience recorded lots of material in october of 1968 at ttg . according to the jimi hendrix sessions book ttg was 16 track by october ' 68 . jimi also produced sessions for eire apparent ' s sunrise lp at ttg . these were also said to be 16 track as well . .

hello - i am amazed by this post ! i work in the building once home to ttg and i do pr . i am bulding a factual archive about recording sessions held at the legendary studio ( s ) that were there during the 40 ' s - 70 ' s ( radio recorders annex , sunset / highland studios , and ttg studios ) . you worked this session there , wow ! did you work other sessions too ? will you contact me to confirm this footage is of led zeppelin at ttg studios , in hollywood , ca , is legit ? until coming across this post there absolutely no additional references to this , however i did find liner notes for sunset sound and sir . thanks !
for those of you who remember ttg studios , ttg stood for tilhas teezee gesheften a name of a group of jewish brigade members formed immediately following wwii . under the guise of british military activity , this group engaged in the assassination of nazis and ss conspirators , facilitated the illegal emigration of holocaust survivors to israel , and smuggled weaponry for the haganah .
pretty sure ami let one believe whatever they wanted about what the initials ttg stood for . to him , they stood for
ttg studios , who recorded several seminal albums of the 1960s , got their name from the arabic - yiddish compound tilḥas ṭīzī gesheftn , ‘lick my ass enterprises’ , which had been used as a code / inside joke in the anti - british jewish underground in palestine .
zappa moved to new york ' s mayfair and apostolic 8 - track studios for most of we ' re only in it for the money .

in 1968 ttg became the first studio to use 24 track recording equipment which was built for them by jeep harned of mci .
i remember being at ttg in the 1970 ' s , just kid then , with my find and his dad perry botkin who was producing a carpenters record there . what a great experience it was . . i can say i got the recording studio fever after that day in ttg . . .
this is where the doors recorded their third album , waiting for the sun . this is also the location that frank zappa ‘s freak out and hot rats albums were recorded . other famous stars to use this studio were lowell george , the monkees , eric burdon and linda ronstadt . ttg studios 1441 n mccadden place los angeles ca 90028
no studio had 24 track recording until the 1970 ' s as far as i know . heck , most studios only made the leap to 16 track in the 1970 ' s .
hadani died in 2014 ; i was unable to find an obituary , or a birth date , but i did find a short tribute that audiophile and music - restoration specialist steve hoffman published in one of his music forums . the tribute misspells hadani’s first name and gives the wrong location for ttg studios , but it includes this bit of information :
i worked at ttg from 1967 almost to 1970 , yes we were the first 16trk studio and did use 2inch tape . . . our house tape was scotch 3 m . tom hidley by the way designed and had a crew that built the record plants , mgm and caribou studios . all the time i worked there i wondered about the initials . ttg angel balestier my mentor , told me
two tough guys
. wayne newton had a picture of him and our new 16trk machine . for endorsement .
the photographs of hendrix with a band aid over his eyebrows were taken at ttg . i was going to comment on the 16 track , but that has been thoroughly covered .

starting from 1989 tom hidley has advised jmf audio ' s power amplifiers in his non - environmental control room design for their exceptional power handling and absolute natural sound . tom hidley designed studios including jmf audio ' s power amplifiers such as masterfonics ( nashville ) and nomis ( london ) are used as examples and illustrations in this book . other studios trusting jmf audio ' s technology are also mentioned . we are thankful to philip newell .
ttg , which stood for
two terrible guys
, was the brainchild of tom hidley and amy hadani , who previously worked for the a & r sudio ' s in ny .
the studio was founded as westlake audio in the early 1970s and is credited as “one of the first big commercial efforts to produce acoustically standardized interchangeable rooms” . westlake rooms aimed for an acoustic design that could give a fairly flat frequency response at the recording position , with the ability to control reverberation delay . the studios became very popular , and “westlake - style” rooms spread to a number of other studios and around the world by the late 1970s .
ttg was not ' two terrible guys ' . this is apocryphal . it was a term used to hide the activities of the jewish brigade in post wwii europe . they posted ttg signs to direct jewish refugees they were smuggling to british occupied palestine . it stands for tilhas teezee gescheften - an arabic and yddish mixture , israeli slang , meaning ' kiss my ass business ' . ami hadani was a member of the brigade .
ttg was one of the worst rooms in la . it was basically a demo room . they did a lot of radio commercials there . i hung out there in the very early 1970 ' s trying to get a job as an intern or something . terrible sounding place . no studio had 24 track recording until the 1970 ' s as far as i know . heck , most studios only made the leap to 16 track in the 1970 ' s .
it must have been a good place since freak out and absolutely free were both recorded there when it was a 4 - track facility , and zappa had access to the 5 - track machine that paul buff built during the pal studios / studio z days .
well , the home grown album is barely 8 track . ttg was one of the worst rooms in la . it was basically a demo room . they did a lot of radio commercials there . i hung out there in the very early 1970 ' s trying to get a job as an intern or something . terrible sounding place . no studio had 24 track recording until the 1970 ' s as far as i know . heck , most studios only made the leap to 16 track in the 1970 ' s .
hidley and hadani started ttg in 1965 and actracted rock stars like hendrix , the monkees & eric burdon , who all wanted to use the studio ' s innovative technology - the world ' s first sixteen - track , two - inch recorders .
this become one of the great marketing ploy ' s in recording studio history , since ttg was the only studio with the 16 - track , 2 inch recorder , musicians who started a session at the studio were forced to finsish there .
since jimi hendrix was recording at ttg at this same time , and so many people here are knowledgable about those sessions , perhaps i could learn a little about linda ' s recording from those experts . can anyone share any technical details about the recording of
in his comprehensive presentation of recording studio design , international consultant and former technical director of virgin records , philip newell obviously covered works of american designer tom hidley , who without a doubt is the most influential and respected in the world . tom hidley ' s studios ( ttg hollywood , westlake , the record plant . . . to name only a few in his hundreds of creations ) have housed the most talented engineers , producers and musicians to produce formidable international hits ( jimi hendrix , stevie wonder , michael jackson , shania twain . . . )

i don ' t think i ' ve seen that one . . . there is good one that was taken of him wearing a red shirt and tall white boots , there is a clock on a paneled wall behind him , that for sure taken in studio b at ttg .

i was told led zeppelin did some recording for their second album at ttg . my former guitar teacher was in a band called ab skhy who were recording their first album in another studio there . he said zeppelin was so loud that sound was bleeding through the walls despite the sound proofing !
the photographs of hendrix with a band aid over his eyebrows were taken at ttg . i was going to comment on the 16 track , but that has been thoroughly covered . those particular pictures were / are bootleg posters and they always bugged me because hendrix obviously wouldn ' t have wanted those made , and he looks really tired .
sadly in 1985 the studio was hit by a fire that smoldered thru the walls below the control room and then erupted above it causing enough damage for jim guercio to decide it was over and not rebuild . he removed all the gear . the famous ex george martin neve 8016 console went to the university of denver , then on to vintage king who restored it and sold to prime studios in austria .
> the hot rats booklet says 16 track ? < that is correct , sir ; number overload i guess , my old 8 track cortex din ' t keep up with my hunt - n - peck digit . sys . , looks like . it was a
homemade sixteen track
recordificator those ttg engineers scotch - taped in . thanks for the nudge .
this color picture is the one i was referring to , the one showing him with tall white boots in that room is jimi hendrix sessions , i have never seen the other one . although i can tell tell from the background it was also taken at ttg . i also remember the story about the injury . jimi ' s girlfriend hit him with brick . he picked up the brick and hit her with it . they were staying at a house in benedict canyon , the studio got call from the house that the la county sheriffs were looking for him , jimi came down to ttg and angel balestier the head engineer asked me to take jimi upstairs , until lawyers from warner brothers could get down there , so i did .
the early history of amnon “ami” hadani , who also went by omi hadan , is vague . after he and tom hidley founded ttg , at 1441 n . mccadden place in los angeles—a stone’s throw from hollywood high school—they recorded many of the era’s prominent rock musicians : the doors , frank zappa and the mothers of invention , jimi hendrix , the monkees , linda ronstadt .
ttg had the short , crisp punch of a military acronym . it sounded like the name of an army unit . but carmi had chosen the letters from a phrase in a contrived , nonsensical portmanteau language , part yiddish , part arabic . the words were “ tilhas tizig gesheften . ” roughly – and it was meant to be rough – translated , it sneered , “up your ass . ” but only the jews from palestine knew that .
they weren ' t terrible guys . it was ami hadani and tom hildley , the same guys who designed and built all the famous record plant studios . anything but two terrible guys . the cool thing about ami was that he was a general in the israeli air force , and he ' d be doing a session and there ' d be problems and he ' d have to leave the session and go fly off to israel , fight the war , then come back and finish a session . weeks could go by , it was kind of funny .

is the backside mono stamped or mono stickered ? the photo looks like a sticker .
this pressing is fabulous , clear and not half as thin sounding as the us pressing , my copy is almost completely silent , with no ticks , even when being played quite a few times it has no loss in soundstage , the bass is pronounced more though not overbearing and the drums are more upfront , which leads me to presume less compression has been applied when mastering the tapes . . . the details are outstanding , get it if you can , it outshines every edition in my opinion , also the last remaster of 2018 , which though digital , is excellent !
first , i have to admit i was pissed off , when i tore off the shrink wrap with a hype sticker sayin « . . . plus the complete libretto « to see no libretto inside the lp . . . . i’m getting used to be deceived by brand new vinyl records . . . . for many reasons , including scratches , noise , bad sound , missing record ( in a 3 record box set , having 2 disc # 1 and 1 disc # 3 ) and now missing insert . . . ( mr . bungle , butthole surfers , björk , supertramp , big boys , nick cave , tom waits , tool , metallica . . . ) but . . . this pressing of absolutely free is totally top notch ! ! ! amazing mastering and high quality pressing ! get it ! ( just hope you’ll have your insert with it ! ! ! ) also , side 4 etching has a clear white label . . . and the image is far from the pic advertisied on urltoken . . . this sucks . . . but the sound is terrific !
say no to drugs kids , especially if you are preparing a vinyl reissue such as this , otherwise you could get things totally wrong .
the libretto pages are in the wrong order . a white label in the middle of the laser etching obscures zappa ' s face ! where was quality control ?
the best out of all of the new zappa represses , absolutely ( heh ) no snap crackle or pop nowhere . the packaking is very accurate and sturdy , the sound quality is stunner . thanks bg , you did a great job mastering this . the second lp is a bit useless , but its great zappa fan - stuff . the booklet is killer , despite the order of the songs ( or parts ) is odd . the only bad thing was that i had to wait a long time for this .
my side 4 with etched artwork also has a white label . anyone else or is mine a one off ?
we need a reissue of this album on vinyl . i ' m surprised it hasn ' t happened yet .
i found the mix to be a bit muddled . also the bass seems to have no mid / high so it gets lost very easily ; especially on the longer more jammy tracks .
this is the story of a bygone hollywood recording studio whose name was an acronym for a sweary arabic - yiddish ( and also maybe turkish ) epithet . i learned about it in a comment on a blog post about a korean - english translator .
the post , “ why she learned korean , ” appeared in language hat , steve dodson’s excellent and often scholarly blog about language . about halfway into the comment section , the conversation turned to acronyms , and a commenter identified only as “y” offered this , a propos of nothing in the original post but extremely interesting to me ( and to you strong languagers , i’ll bet ) :
the other interpretations of the name , “two terrible guys” or “two talented gentlemen” , are apocryphal .
this turns out to be a highly plausible argument , for reasons i’ll get into in a minute . but what about the “apocryphal” stories ?
the link in y’s comment goes to a wikipedia entry that gives three citations for the “two terrible guys” interpretation , none of them a primary source . one of them , a 2010 article in analog planet , is an incomplete reprint of a 1997 analog planet article —so incomplete that the name of the interview subject was lopped off . he ( i assume it’s a he ) is identified only by the initials “bb . ” piecing together the evidence , i surmised that bb was bruce botnick ( born 1945 ) , an american audio engineer best known for his work with the doors . he told analog planet ’s matthew greenwald :
the haganah was a jewish paramilitary organization during the british mandate of palestine ; after israeli independence in 1948 , it became the core of the israel defense forces .
the three words that make up the phrase are arabic [ تِلحسْ طِيزي , “tilhas tizi” , “lick my ass” ] and yiddish [ געשעפטן , “gesheften” , ”business” ] , combined to form a modern hebrew slang expression , meaning “you - lick - my - ass business . ” [ 1 ] it has been more colloquially translated as “up your ass / götveren” , [ 2 ] whereas [ sic ] “götveren” is a vulgar turkish slang term for “queer / fag / faggot” .
the footnotes reference howard blum’s 2009 book the brigade : an epic story of vengeance , salvataion , and world war ii . “the brigade” was the jewish brigade , which was formed in 1944 as a unit of the british army and continued its activities after the war . according to a wikipedia entry , “under the guise of british military activity , this group engaged in the assassination of nazis , facilitated the illegal immigration of holocaust survivors to mandatory palestine , and smuggled weaponry to the haganah . ” one of the brigade’s members , israel carmi , “realized that it would require an army” to move refugees out of europe , writes blum :
according to some sleuthing done by yuval pinter , who writes the bilingual hebrew–english linguistics blog blazing hyphens , hadani not only was living in palestine during this period , he served in the brigade himself—and so would have been intimately acquainted with the acronym .
modern spoken hebrew is a young language ; the first child raised to speak only hebrew was born in 1882 . that child’s father , eliezer ben - yehuda , compiles the first modern hebrew dictionary , for which he coined hundreds of new words . ( “ben - yehuda” is to modern hebrew lexicography what “webster” is to american . ) but there were no swear words in the lexicon : with the exception , say , prostitute and bastard , off - color words were absent from the hebrew bible or its commentaries , and the high - minded ben - yehuda and his protégés had no place for them .
still , swearers gotta swear , and so modern israelis turned to their arabic - and turkish - speaking neighbors ( and not infrequently to english , russian , and yiddish ) for linguistic relief .
i’m still searching for the definitive lexicon of hebrew swears . in the meantime , i can point you to this glossary of swears used by israeli soldiers , in which arabic shows up a lot ; and to this video tutorial from swearport , which is disappointingly mild but at least provides a sabra ( native ) pronunciation .

i would like to see the 40 second film of this . i was there , we stopped recording to watch the last time the beatles ever played together . peter grant brought in some cans of cheese popcorn . we sat in our lounge and watched the beatles , it was like the crown of rock being passed , swear to god . i was the second engineer on those sessions . terry dean

album ( recorded there in october 1968 ) might have been a 24 track recording .
, which includes all 4 of linda ' s solo capitol albums , plus bonus tracks . (
) however , like so many of linda ' s releases , there are no track credits . if it wasn ' t for the 1977 compilation lp ,
( capitol skbb - 11629 ) , which does give some track info , i wouldn ' t know hardly anything about the early ronstadt recordings .
which prompted my question . glad i can find out the facts so quickly here . thanks again . . . .
quoted from paul verna
from audio sound to infra sound
, billboard , 1 july 1995 .
this equipment doubled the capacity of the 8 - track recorder - which was state of the art in 1968 - by increasing the tape width and modifying the motors on the machine .
and i ' d like to add , i think the hendrix track ' look over yonder ' ( which was recorded there ) sounds very good , especially when compared to the tracks on ' electric ladyland ' ( almost all recorded at record plant , ny ) .
jimi played bass on some of these sessions , him and noel redding were fighting and it was a while before
the expierence
finally all got together there .
ami left a session upstairs came down where angel and i were working with hendrix and told us it was shaking the floor .
those particular pictures were / are bootleg posters and they always bugged me because hendrix obviously wouldn ' t have wanted those made , and he looks really tired .
i don ' t know . . i tried to get a hold of the studio in the late seventies no luck . i moved back to colorado and my last contact with anyone was when i ran into tom hidley ' s construction crew when they built caribou above boulder .
my first studio job was at studio west in san diego and i didn ' t start there until may 75 . when i started we were in the process of upgrading from an mm - 1000 16 track to a stephens 24 track . that was 8 more tracks and well less than half the size .
we were a fairly high quality studio , but not quite in the same league as the big boys up in la . we did some rock sessions , but it was mainly a jingle house . my point is that if we were up to 24 tracks in 1975 i have to assume that many of the majors had made the switch well ahead of us .
i was at a session at crystal for songs in the key of life and i seem to remember they were using a studer 24 track machine . i can ' t remember the exact date but i ' m thinking it was a few months before i started at studio west .

frank zappa und seine musik im spiegel der moeglichkeiten moderner studiotechnik
edit the umrk must had gone digital around 1982 - 1984 same time as lso .
. . . . . . . but first , a flashback to when i was recording for columbia back in ' 65 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there were only eight tracks to work with ( you wonder how the beatles survived so well on that - - lots of money / time helped ) , and there was no separate cue system for overdubbing ( honest ! ) , . . . . . . . . .
by the fall of ' 66 , i ' d had it with group , recording , and first marriage , so i took some money from a small inheritance and idealistically launched out to change it all . . . what was amazing - - i did ! first , i picked a downtown location , in the village , as that ' s where all the musicians were . be where you ' re comfortable . after all , only the execs were uptown . it was a loft building on 10th st . near broadway ,
. . . . . and , of course more tracks ( how quickly you run out at only eight ) - - we went to twelve because that was as many as scully could crowd onto a relatively - editable one - inch tape transport in this first - of - a - kind machine they built to our specs . and faders , instead of pots ( goodbye ' 50s sci - fi flicks ) , also a first , and the new - fangled solenoids . . . best of all , everyone could touch them all , no union , except don ' t spill your coke on the board ! all that , and teenage whiz engineer tony bongiovi ( later , brother / producer of jon bonjovi ) were enough to launch us into the ozone . . . . . . . . . . . .
i recall the api console as a sea of blue formica , a wondrous machine praised by frank zappa , with sparkling new arc - shaped british painton faders . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
the prototype scully twelve - track machine used one - inch tape . it had twelve sets of their normal full - size rack - mounted electronics , the ones they put in their mono and two track machines - - imagine twelve of those babies , each one with a complete set of knobs and full - size meter ! it was just huge - - but it worked . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . so i went to new york , and i got this job at this incredible twelve track studio . well , i didn ' t know from twelve track , i thought four track was really hot stuff . so i went in there and they said ,
here ' s the board . learn it .
he go ,
your first client ' s coming in in five minutes .
well , my first client was frank zappa . . . . . . . .

was born may 27 , 1931 in los angeles , california . as a teenager , he spent long hours playing the saxophone , clarinet , and flute , until ordered to cease by his physician after a physical breakdown . he then explored non - performance areas of music , and spend nights recording at clubs and days working at loudspeaker and tape - machine organizations .
and very little research on studio acoustic design in those days so every new room evolved through trial and error from earlier ones . however , the influence of his pioneering acoustic models could be seen across the recording studio world 40 years on . for instance , hidley introduced the concept of soffit - mounted monitors , the use of moving glass doors between live and isolation rooms , and he even established the term '

while growing up in the upstate ny catskill mtns area we knew of caribou only thru lps recorded there .
our own focus at the time was to someday build a studio in the mountains in a large old barn of which there were many ( and still are , albeit slowly falling down ) .
it was the beauty of the surrounding mountains , the peaceful isolation , and the prospect of inspiration year round that drove our desire . we did our best to build and operate for own purposes but we always pushed for going commercial someday . little did we know that jimmy guercio was already implementing his own plan to do just that way out west !
spot thru a friend while traveling in colorado . that friend remarked that his uncle , at one time owned an old ranch outside of boulder . . . maybe it was for sale .
it took two years for guercio to secure a deal to buy it . 3000 acres of a small green valley that ascended all the way up thru forested mountains to the high peaks of colorado rockies yet was only 45 mins to boulder and another 30 mins to denver ' s airport .
the ranch had been a working horse farm for many decades . stagecoach ( 1966 ) was filmed there . with several cabins , a lodge and mess hall plus numerous other outbuildings , there was one that stood out : a large gambrel roofed barn - it was exactly what guercio had been looking for .
caribou became the # 1 place to record . all inclusive of the $ 16 , 000 . @ wk rate : up to 10 people , 24 hr studio access , engineers , instruments , meals ( late nites included ) , lodging , snowmobiles , dirt bikes , horses , fishing poles , transportation to & from the ranch .
some artists didnt like being so isolated but the majority fell right in the groove of no distractions , being catered to in that down home mountain style . it shows in the quality / massive quantity of music written and produced there .
guercio and family lived quietly on the ranch for another 30 years . then he sold the property a couple of years ago to members of the walton family who have no other plans but to preserve it . prior to closing the deal he auctioned off many items from the studio including among others the grand pianos used by elton john , billy joel etc , those huge baffles and absorbers , a b - 3 , a gibson explorer bass used by terry kath ( caribou was chicago ' s home base for many albums ) , various furniture and even the control room door !
this place was truly one of a kind at the time . sadly it ' s golden era has long passed due to technology and a changed industry . but the innovation of the ' destination studio ' and the uniqueness of its location gave birth to soo many great recordings .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ currently in early advance planning stage for new private mountain studio . colorado usa
yes , i remember it well and the hidley designs of the time . was a major influence on my studio designs at the time . cheers john
ah , the good old days , when you could afford to buy 3000 acres for a studio and charge over $ 2000 / day for the use of it .
i love the mastering work of ami hadani . his stereo 1961 cutting of ella ' s clap hands , here comes charlie is amazing considering how long the sides are .

i love the mastering work of ami hadani . his stereo cutting of ella ' s clap hands , here comes charlie is amazing considering how long the sides are .
wow , that ' s quite a history and he ' s worked on a great many albums according to allmusic . com . rest in peace .
thank you for the clarification on the name . i read somewhere that it stood for
two terrible guys
and i bought that hook , line and sinker .
i had visited that studio several times when my dad was a business rep for the local 47 musicians union .
a very sad loss in the record world , steve . ami hadani was a legend and was involved with so many awesome recordings we all know and cherish here . he can ' t be replaced . a real pioneer in music .
hadani did some incredible work in the 60 ' s , he knocked it out of the park with the his recordings of ella and basie .
i have one side i know was cut by him - a blank groove that was on the back of a one - sided promo of the mamas & the papas '
creeque alley ,
pressed by monarch . it was signed ' ami h .
i was always told it stood for
two talented gentlemen
but evidently that was not the case .

i did not know ami , but i purchased his 1967 ghia 450 ss from his sister today . . . beautiful car , his pride a joy . .
welcome mike ; that ' s an interesting car with an interesting provenance , and i like that connection going all the way back to the 70 ' s .
did you know bruce botnick by any chance ? i ' m just looking for people that might have known ami that i might be able to contact . i would love to speak to someone about his car to find out more information . his family really had very limited knowledge of the car and ami didn ' t really talk about about it much unfortunately . .
thanks ben , did you know bruce botnick by any chance ? i ' m just looking for people that might have known ami that i might be able to contact .
i remember ami talking proudly about his ghia with a lot of respect . he took us ( yoav gera and me ) around hollywood with it from time to time in 1976 .
wow , that is great to hear yair . if you ever get the los angeles look me up and we can go for another ride and talk about ami , maybe we would answer .

t strikes in the infant stage itself and no one pays attention on this . the mother of the baby is not taught about the food she should take at the time of pregnancy ,
feed the baby with 25 mg for 6 times and see the result . let the stomach digest the food that has already out in , and the essence mix with our system . give small quantity with several intervals ,
t will affect brain , heart and spinal cord that results in watery blood . the urine they pass will be reddish yellow and less quantity . this will follow to the swelling foot due to weak heart , then swelling on stomach and to throat swelling that is called as dropsy .
icals will rush to patent that . it is very simple that all i can tell for now !
i called them 4 years ago and was told they had no funds i was dumb founded . . .
