|Aetna erroneously terminates providers from California network
Monday, 16 April 2012 18:00
The California Medical Association (CMA) has learned that Aetna incorrectly issued notices to over 8,000 patients statewide advising that their provider had been terminated from the Aetna network and would no longer be accessible to provide care. This action was the result of a manual error in their provider system. The health plan erroneously allowed the termination of providers throughout their California network with an effective date of March 1, 2012. Auto-generated termination letters were then mailed to all members assigned to these terminated providers.
Aetna is in the process of issuing retractions of termination notices to both members and physicians, and has corrected their provider database. CMA has confirmed that no gap in physician participation will result from the error. Additionally, claims that may have been processed incorrectly as out-of-network will automatically be reprocessed without the need for the physician to resubmit.
Patients with concerns should be directed to contact Aetna Member Services at the phone number indicated on the Aetna Member ID card. Physicians who have concerns regarding the issue can contact Aetna Provider Services at (888) 632-3862 for PPO, and (800) 624-0756 for HMO and Medicare Advantage plans.

Lack of transparency made independent monitoring of the human rights situation difficult. The phased implementation of the amended Penal Code continued. The Code, which seeks to impose Shari'a law, provides for the death penalty as well as corporal punishment that amount to torture and other ill-treatment for a range of offences. It also contains provisions which discriminate against women. The Shari'a legislation completed its first phase of implementation. Offences that are punishable with whipping or death sentence such as false claims (Article 206), deriding verses of the Qur'an or Hadith by non-Muslims (Article 111), and abetting or attempt to abet, had not been enforced. In February, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child urged the government to repeal Penal Code amendments which would impose the death penalty and corporal punishment on children; and to raise the minimum age for marriage.

But for a formal dinner or special occasion, a bottle of wine, fresh flowers of a box of fine chocolates is a great way to say thanks for going to all this trouble for us.

I just happened to run across these new "Billet 4o" receiver sets by ATX Armory yesterday and man they are pretty sweet looking. Apparently the name "Billet 40" comes from all of the 4o degree angles on the receivers. There literally isn't a square inch area that doesn't have some neat detail work done to it. Even the underside of the trigger guard looks sick. Most of the machining appears to be in an effort to lower the weight of the receivers which combined come in at just under 1 pound. The receiver set is also compatible with the Battle Arms and Rainier Arms short throw ambi safeties. Check out the pics and details below.
ATX Armory has built the finest receiver set money can buy without compromise to quality! Our model "Billet 40" gets its name from the 40 degree angles featured throughout the design, which took us nearly a year to perfect.
– Precision CNC from Aerospace Aluminum Billet 7075-T6
– Integrated Trigger Guard with Custom Details
– Forward Assist (Not found on similar high end receiver sets)
– Multi Cal Markings for Various Build Types
– Upper/Lower Tension Screw Setup (No Slop in this set so not Needed but Machined)
– Edges have been De-Burred for Clean Smooth Finish
– Compatible with Mil Standard AR Lower/Upper Receiver Parts
– High Quality Hard Coat Type III Anodized Finish
– Weighs 15.2 oz.
If you're in the market for a unique looking billet receiver set for your next build, definitely give these a look. I know I might be doing that myself. Check them out at www.ATXArmory.com.

Jack-In-The-Green Commands Summer: "Begin!"
Springtime Tull is more uplifting than the pensive autumn selections. Cup of Wonder makes May Day seem like the best holiday in the year. On the first warm day I've found myself sitting in the car, not going in the house or the store, but just sitting with the windows down and the doors open clapping along with the expertly timed claps (and usually missing a few) and wondering how anything could ever feel more springlike. Soon the happy flutes and Solstice Bells ring in the summer, and Tull goes back into the CD visor until October comes again.
In summer, John Fogerty is my boyfriend. The heat brings out my summer extremes - earthy, passionate, sometimes depressed, always on. And I always look back to my roots in summer. As a proud southerner and an active liberal, the two sides of my passion are brought together seamlessly in Creedence Clearwater Revival's protest songs. Fortunate Son is a great windows-down blarer - and I don't care who thinks I'm playing country. Some songs are just great for washing the car (or nowadays, scrubbing down the bike).
Take me home, boys.
Some nights I want to bawl from heartache at the childhood summer scenes brought to mind by Fogerty's drawling and wailing on songs like Green River and Up Around the Bend. I am made whole by the possibilities of good old folk who care about peace and social causes, and simultaneously destroyed by the unwelcome realization that even if I did go home, nothing would ever be the same. Summer is a difficult season.
Winter is my least favorite season now that I live in a cold place. What I do welcome about it is time for introspection and time to work on my art and myself. I get into very "heady" music I'd call it in the wintertime. Progressive rock is usually at the top of the playslist -- anything with multiple movements, curious mixes of synthesizers, guitars, and orchestral elements. And organs. I must have my organ solos. Yes and Moody Blues are my number one winter bands.
"It's winter and we're bloody Moody!"
Although I like winter and all its trappings (I have an immense scarf collection) I start to collapse in on myself when it's so cold I can't go outside. The music distracts and helps me through.
Sometimes a change of weather within a season is enough to dig out a neglected track. It's raining heavily today. When I leave work I'll check the wind and sniff the air to see if Fogerty will keep his coveted spot in the CD player. ELO, Sandy Denny, and even J.S. Bach have all been quietly waiting their turn.

Success Education Colleges (SEC) Hosts First Annual Professional Development Conference
SEC Team Members Gather to Learn and Grow Professionally in their Roles in Career Education
Over 330 Team Members from North-West College, Glendale Career College, Nevada Career Institute and SEC's Campus Support Team gathered together at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California on Friday, May 12, for Success Education Colleges' First Annual Professional Development Conference (PDC).
This conference provided SEC Team Members with the opportunity to learn and gain insight into a variety of topics related to career education from sector experts as well as several of SEC's own leaders.
The conference began with a general session on "Why Leadership Matters" featuring special guest speaker Dr. Michale McComis, the Executive Director for the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). Dr. McComis shared his experience and words of wisdom on the role of leadership and how individuals can make a difference within the organization on a daily basis.
Following the opening session, conference attendees were able to attend different breakout sessions throughout the day focused on a range of topics, including: effective classroom management, education compliance issues, emergency and disaster preparation, understanding Millennials and Gen Z students, teaching tools for nursing faculty, the importance of certification for health care professionals, and more.
A lunchtime Q&A session featured a sit-down discussion with Robert Johnson, the Executive Director of the California Association of Private, Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS) and SEC's President, Mitchell Fuerst. Mr. Johnson praised SEC as "a model for private-sector education" as he spoke about the current outlook for career education and the important role private sector colleges will play in the future for education in California.
Michele Deck, co-founder and CEO of G.A.M.E.S, closed out the day with an invigorating and interactive general session as she led the audience on a journey to discover different ways to become a better and more creative thinker in a world full of cynical thinking.
"When people are stressed, we don't see the full picture," Deck told the audience. "We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems." Drawing from her experience, Deck shared creative methods to explore and approach new problems, urging attendees to "wear rose colored glasses" to help look for new and inventive solutions to the challenges they face.
SEC's Professional Development Conference (PDC) was a great success and SEC plans to make the event an annual tradition. "I am so proud of what happened at our PDC!" President Mitchell Fuerst exclaimed passionately. "I thought the content, speakers, organization and overall flow of the day was phenomenal!" These sentiments were shared by hundreds of other Team Members through thank you cards and email messages sent to Mr. Fuerst and the organization's Leadership Team.

Thank you so much everyone. I'm over whelmed by the kind messages you have sent congratulating me on my OBE. Too many to thank individually but all read and appreciated.
This award is for all those who have followed me through the years, coming to my shows and listening to and buying my music, through the ups and downs, highs and lows, it's for all those who have followed an individual path despite being ridiculed or marginalised, who sometimes felt they didn't quite fit in with everyone else or just felt a bit out of sync with people and things around them.
Thank you for your warm response on me receiving this honour.
Happy New Year
Marc - January 2018

I'd like to thank you all for an incredible milestone year. It really has been special and you have all helped make it so. Hits And Pieces and A Kind Of Love both doing so well and getting to work with Tim Pope again on the A Kind Of Love video after so long was wonderful. Big thank you to Universal Music for getting behind the project and making it such fun.
I was honoured to be given a doctorate from Edge Hill University so I can now call myself a Doctor Of Philosophy and even put it on my bank cards!
I've performed two tours this year, a too short tour for Hits And Pieces which I think went down a storm with sell out shows and a second much longer tour to support my second album of the year, Shadows And Reflections. This tour got great reaction from yourselves and press and featured a pop orchestra and wonderful collection of singers. It was one of my favourite tours ever.
Hits And Pieces made number 7 and Shadows finally rested at 14 after being number 7 for the week. My best chart placing in years.
I signed a new two album record deal with BMG Music and a big thank you for their support with Shadows And Reflections. Thank you to the team of fantastic people I've worked with on this project.
Awards continued with Wink Magazines Music Man of the Year.
The Gallery Liverpool had a wonderful exhibition of iconic photos and Art from my career and Jamie McLeod bought out a fabulous book, I Created Me, of his photo art of me throughout the decade.
There's been so many events and exciting things I couldn't mention them all. Next year is shaping up to be just as exciting. A big thank you to both record companies and all the fantastic musicians, song writers, singers, directors, engineers and producers (thank you Mike Stevens and Chris Braide). Thanks also to Charlotte Silver, Katherine Rhodes, Michelle Rhodes and a very special thanks to Mark Langthorne.
Thank you all for your dedication and support as always, I never take it for granted.
A Very Happy Christmas and a wonderful and fulfilling New Year to you. Onward

Shadows And Reflections, the new album from Marc Almond is released today. Featuring sumptuous arrangements of iconic torch songs and 60's orchestral pop for which he is beloved, as well as two new original compositions, the album features songs written or recorded by artists such as Burt Bacharach, The Action, The Yardbirds, Bobby Darin, Julie Driscoll, Billy Fury and the Young Rascals.
Marc's deep affection for brilliantly arranged 1960s pop has been prevalent throughout his career and his versions of Jacky, The Days Of Pearly Spencer, Tainted Love, Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart and What! have become much treasured recordings from an artist who can take an old song and bring it new life with impeccable style.
Shadows And Reflections is available in several formats, including signed and limited editions, and can be purchased directly from the Official Marc Almond store.

Today, Marc was presented with an honorary Doctorate in Philosophy from Edge Hill University. The university's website reports:
Singer-songwriter Marc Almond had some inspirational words for graduating students today as he accepted an Honorary Doctorate in Philosophy from Edge Hill University.
Although he has enjoyed worldwide fame and sold over 30 million records, Marc told graduands that true success comes from self-belief, creativity and happiness rather than money or fame.
"Self-motivation is the key to success in the artistic or musical field," he said. "It's character building and you will need this more than ever in today's competitive world. Success is doing what you love, to be fulfilled by your creativity, to be happy. If success comes, enjoy it, then appreciate it, but most of all be self-motivated. Self-belief above all else will do the heavy lifting for you."
He also praised the University, adding: "I feel honoured to be here today receiving such a prestigious award from an esteemed University recognised for its excellence. I was so impressed when I was given a tour of this beautiful campus."
Marc Almond has sold over 30 million records worldwide in a career that has spanned a diverse range of musical styles from the electro of his band Soft Cell to Turkish torch songs to Brazilian Macumba music and Russian folk. In 2010 Marc – who grew up in Southport – celebrated 30 years as a recording artist with a successful tour, culminating in receiving Mojo magazine's 'Hero Award'. He released three albums in 2014 and has most recently released the musical anthology Trials Of Eyeliner covering the years 1979-2016. His Shadows and Reflections tour is scheduled for October and November this year.
12 July 2017
Press Release:
"Almond continues to be the most multidimensional of artistes" - Mojo
'Shadows And Reflections' is the new album by Marc Almond released by BMG on 22 September 2017. It features sumptuous arrangements of iconic torch songs and 60's orchestral pop for which he is beloved, as well as two new original compositions. The album features songs written or recorded by artists such as Burt Bacharach, The Action, The Yardbirds, Bobby Darin, Julie Driscoll, Billy Fury and the Young Rascals.
'The Overture', 'Interval' and final pivotal track 'No One To Say Goodnight To' set and frame the album's mood - composed and orchestrated by long-time collaborator John Harle. "It's a sea of lush strings, lilting guitar, choral harmonies and full, panoramic sound. I wanted it to have the feel of a very late 1960s Italian cinema soundtrack" says Marc. "Everything stems from and returns back to that final track." The album thematically begins and ends in an apartment. "It's about this guy that's living in a luxury expansive glass apartment overlooking the city, filled with sculptures and beautiful things, an empty soulless shell, surrounded by absurd wealth. He is sitting alone and I imagine listening to this music, possibly the songs that make up this album. He's rich in the bank but the poorest person you know".
The album 'Shadows And Reflections' sees Marc delve into the mood music of "orchestral and baroque pop songs with orchestrated arrangements and productions typical of the songs of that time". The album includes covers of the Young Rascals (also made famous by David Cassidy) 'How Can I Be Sure', the gothic pop of The Herd 'From The Underworld ("Peter Frampton is such a brilliant early songwriter and I thought The Herd had such an intense inventiveness"), The Yardbirds 'Still Im Sad' ("I've come from listening to a lot of blues based rock from the 60's") and Julie Driscoll's 'I Know You Love Me Not' ("It is an incredible song that I have wanted to do for many years but only now found the context"). The title track 'Shadows And Reflections' is based on mod legends The Action's version, whilst also featured is Burt Bacharach's 'Blue On Blue' ("I sang this song with Burt at the London Palladium"), Bobby Darin's 'Not For Me' and the Johnny Mandel standard 'The Shadow Of Your Smile'.
"I particularly like the strangeness of many of those 60's records" says Marc, "the oddness about them, sometimes unsettling, out of the mould, that light psychedelia approach from the early Floyd records, Sgt Pepper and Soft Machine."
Marc Almond's deep affection for brilliantly arranged 1960s pop has been prevalent throughout his career and has served him well. His versions of 'Jacky', 'The Days Of Pearly Spencer', 'Tainted Love', 'Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart', and 'What!' have become much treasured recordings from an artist who can take an old song and bring it new life with impeccable style. A look at Marc's popular 60's Spotify playlists gives insight into the sounds and singers that he continues to be inspired by.
Marc has announced a new UK tour starting on 3 October at London's Royal Festival Hall, and across 18 dates, he will perform with a full orchestra playing songs from 'Shadows And Reflections' as well as other known and lesser known gems from the period.
2017 cements the 60th Birthday year for the singer who the Observer noted, "has never stood still" and comes after the great success of the Top 10 album 'Hits And Pieces', which was followed by a sold-out Spring tour including a triumphant show at London's Roundhouse.
Says Marc; "My audience may not be familiar with a lot of these songs so I had to bear that in mind. Whereas if you're an aficionado and you know how brilliant they are, you'll see I've not reinvented them an awful lot because I thought the arrangements are so good in the first place. These songs just need to be put out there again so people can hear them. Me singing them introduces them to a different audience and brings them out into the light."

Marc Almond - Addicted to Excess
An exhibition celebrating life and art. 15 July - 27 August
Marc Almond's 60th birthday celebration remarkably coincides with the 50 year anniversary of the legalisation of homosexuality in the UK. This exhibition fuses imagery, artefacts, photographs and paintings from a trailblazing career, depicting a unique artist unafraid to venture into uncharted creative arenas.
Displayed publicly for the first time are photographic prints by Peter Ashworth, a specially commissioned portrait by artist Mark Wardel and a unique series of collages created by Marc Almond. These works will be shown alongside photography by Mike Owen, Scott Ewalt, Aaron Cobbett and Andrew Caitlin, paintings by Pierre and Gilles and Matthew Stradling and video work by Jamie Mcleod and Gerry McNee.
This is the fourth exhibition in the series 'Homospectives' exploring work of LGBTQ artists to mark the anniversaries of the groundbreaking Wolfenden Report (1957) and Sexual Offences Act (1967).

Learn how to make a menorah with this simple Hanukkah craft. Hanukkah menorahs, or hanukiahs, come in an almost infinite number of designs, shapes, and price points. Kids love to create their own handmade candelabras for the Festival of Lights. See how to make a menorah with this simple tutorial, and have a Happy Hanukkah!
What You Need:
- A wooden board
- 10 metal locknuts (available at hardware stores; bring a Hanukkah candle with you to test which size would best hold the candle)
- Craft glue
- Tinfoil
- Clear packing tape
- Hanukkah candles
What You Do:
- Cover the wood with tin foil and tape the foil closed on the underside.
- Let your child glue 8 locknuts to the board in any pattern.
- The last 2 locknuts can be glued anywhere on the board, but they need to be glued in a stack. This will be your "shamash", or helper, and will hold the candle that will light the actual Hanukkah candles.
- Insert candles as needed for the Hanukkah ceremony, using the shamash candle and one other candle the first night.

Have you ever wanted to use a toilet surrounded by glass walls and ceiling, centered in a 200 square meter flower garden? No? Well, you might want to reconsider, because you can do just that in Japan's city of Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture. Just as every major city has its own tourist landmark, like New York's Statue of Liberty, Paris' Eiffel Tower, and now Tokyo, with its new record-setting Skytree tower, Ichihara has an attraction of its own.
The small, little-known city near Tokyo specifically wanted something to attract tourism, and to that, they decided on making the world's largest toilet. Located a short walk from one of the city's train stations, the "stall" was designed by architect Sou Fujimoto, and is nothing short of a 200 square meter (that's over 2,000 square feet!) fenced-in space, landscaped with rows of flower boxes. The actual toilet bowl is contained in a tall glass box, that allows guests to observe the nature around them, and the sky above. Should you still feel insecure, there is curtain inside the box that can be drawn, and the door has a second lock inside. The first lock is actually on the entrance of the outer fence!
Eichi Kirikae, with the Ichihara tourism department, says that part of the goal to increase tourism is to welcome guests with clean toilets. As the city is small, and doesn't have anything like amusement parks or other attractions, Kirikae says the only visitors they see are a couple dozen photographers who come to see the seasonal changes. So, when it came time to update the toilet, they decided to go all the way and make an attraction out of it. The operating costs for the luxurious outhouse comes to 9.87 million yen (approx. $126,000) per year. If you haven't booked your tickets to get to Ichihara already, you'll want to hold on for just one more piece of news. The record-setting lavatory is only for women, leaving us heart-broken gentlemen to look elsewhere for glass boxes to do our business in.

MSI GX723 Inverness
Provided By:
MSI's GX723 is the first laptop we've seen with Nvidia's GeForce GT 130M chipset. It may sound smart but it's actually a tweaked GeForce 9600M GT, a mid-range mobile chipset that's been around for some time. The GPU's stream processors run at a higher clock speed, but its narrow 128-bit memory bus is a bottleneck to its overall performance. Its score of 25.1fps in our Call of Duty 4 benchmark is about what we'd expect from a 9600M GT, and won't impress serious gamers. It should be able to handle all but the most demanding 3D games, but you'll often have to reduce the resolution or sacrifice detail to get smooth frame rates.
The P8600 processor has a speedy 2.4GHz clock speed, but it's only a dual-core chip. This is a little disappointing as you can get a laptop with a quad-core processor for not much more. There's no Blu-ray drive, either, although the 500GB hard disk provides plenty of storage space.
The GX723's 17in screen has a 1,680x1,050 resolution, which gives you plenty of desktop space for running multiple applications. Colours are reasonably accurate, if not that vibrant, and contrast is good, although nowhere near as good as some LED-backlit screens we've seen recently.
We were disappointed to find the same cramped keyboard on the GX723 as on MSI's other gaming laptops, such as the smaller GT627. Most of the keys are a comfortable size, but they're squashed together on the right where the main keyboard meets the number pad. The key action is also too light, with no feedback, and touch-typists will find it too spongy. The touchpad is the same as well, and while the pad itself is responsive, the two buttons cut into the metal baseplate have little travel and are hard to locate by feel.
Above the keyboard is a rather gaudy touch-sensitive panel with media playback shortcuts. There's no red 'racing stripe' running around the edge of the case as there is on other MSI gaming laptops, but there's liberal use of stylish brushed aluminium panels around the keyboard. At just over 3kg it's not particularly heavy, though such a big laptop is never going to be ideal for mobile use. Its battery life of just over two-and-a-half hours isn't particularly impressive.
There's nothing seriously wrong with the GX723, but it doesn't strike us as great value, either. If you're looking for a powerful desktop replacement, then we'd recommend Acer's Aspire 8930G-905G50B (Labs, Shopper 257). It has a bigger display and a quad-core processor, and costs just £64 more from www.comet.co.uk.
System Specifications
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 4GB RAM, 500GB disk, Nvidia GeForce GT 130M graphics, DVD+/-RW +/-DL, 17in widescreen LCD, Windows Vista Home Premium, 35x395x 278mm, 3.2kg, one-year RTB warranty
Power consumption: 1W standby, 28W idle, 74W active
Its graphics chipset isn't anything to get excited about, and there far are better desktop replacements at a similar price.

Triple chocolate madeleines
Present your guests with these chocolatey delights and they'll never want to leave.
You could also make scented versions using the floral sugars - omit the cocoa powder and increase the amount of flour to 100g.
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Yield: 22
- 100 g. butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
- 65 g. plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 35 g. cocoa powder, sifted
- 3/4 tsp. Baking Powder
- 100 g. Caster sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- melted white and milk chocolate for drizzling
- Liberally brush the madeleine tins with melted butter. Chill the tins until the butter has set
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Beat the sugar and eggs for 5 minutes until thick and light in colour. Fold in the flour mixture, followed by the butter. Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes in a cool place until the mixture firms up.
- Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan oven) gas mark 6. Dust the madeleine moulds with flour, tapping out the excess.
- Fill each mould with a heaped teaspoon of mixture and bake in the oven for 7-8 minutes until firm and risen. Remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes in the tins to firm up before transferring to a wire rack.
- When the madeleines are cold, drizzle with melted chocolate using a teaspoon or dust with icing sugar.

Tom Brady will soon find out his fate for the 2015-2016 football season regarding his alleged involvement with the "Deflategate." He will either be suspended for 4 games to start the season or a judge will rule that he's eligible to play as soon as the season kicks off.
With that being said one would think that Brady is on edge about the scandal and whether or not he can play when the season kicks off. Brady let none of that show last night during the Patriot's annual "Patriots Premiere," which is a charity event that featured Brady and other New England players answering questions from their fans. One question in particular, received a rather sarcastic response from the QB when asked. He was asked had he done anything fun during the offseason after leading the pats to a super bowl victory and his response was priceless.
"Yeah," he said, "it's been such an enjoyable offseason."
Patriots owner Robert Kraft would later chime in about the "Deflategate" calling it the "most overblown story in recent NFL history."
Stay tuned for the judge's verdict on Brady.

Pete Astor – Songbox
Much like Luke Haines, Peter Astor (known here as Pete) is one of those "old-fashioned" British songwriters who believe that a good song is what it is all about. You string a couple of chords together, you come up with articulate lyrics and an articulate vocal melody, you take some time arranging (not embellishing) your tune – and there you go. The rest is more or less arbitrary and superfluous. The fact that tons of contemporary artists can get away with existing on what is essentially entirely superficial is a travesty, and if anything, Astor's recently released Songbox is a brilliant testimony to the unfading power of a good song.
Throughout his understated and relatively obscure twenty-odd career Peter Astor has done some great pop (mostly his two 80's bands, The Loft and The Weather Prophets) and some weak pop (his bloodless early 90's solo efforts were efforts indeed). But recently he's been keeping a particularly low profile: besides the surprising reunion of The Loft (in 2006) and a 2004 limited-release solo album, he's been more engaged with his folk/electronic instrumental band Ellis Island Sound. But it is not as if Songbox was all that unexpected; after all, having once written at least one classic pop song, you are more than likely to come back for more.
On these masterful and almost achingly well-written 11 new songs, Pete sounds like a cross between a better-singing Leonard Cohen and a mellower, more cheerful Luke Haines (whose terrific new album about British wrestling is also out now) – certainly not a bad thing. The richness of instrumentation, and you get to hear everything, from Glockenspiel to chilling clarinets, never stands in the way of the actual songs, and only emphasizes their stark yet delicate simplicity. The folk-pop charms of 'Tiny Town', the mysterious and waltzy 'The Perfect Crime', the unforgettable might-be-hit 'The Ride', etc. – these are all convincing, concise, classic songs that never really threaten to overstay their welcome. When discussing Songbox, the key word could be "consistent" – even though 'Dunce' might well be the standout, with its bittersweet melody and heartfelt singing.
The last song on the album is called 'Mistress of Song', which is a sad, anguished, gorgeous ode to, well, Mistress of Song: "But lately I've had this feeling, I just can't quite believe; I've been following you all these years, and you've been lying to me". It's as close as you could get to a songwriter's heart, and it's as fitting an end to this album as was only conceivable. While not perfect, Songbox should go down in history as Pete Astor's best album, and one of the most striking and honest tributes to the power of the song.

Product Potluck is a monthly gathering of product managers here in Austin, TX. The event starts with an hour of networking during which time you get to enjoy a beverage and vote on the topics for the night.
Usually there are 3-4 speakers who have prepared material and the two with the top votes win. The best part of Product Potluck is the collaboration that occurs during the presentation. Attendees are encouraged to share their own expertise and experience. The shared discussion is packed with information and usually very entertaining.
Here is the presentation I attended last week from Dr. Briones on Value on Use Analysis for New Product Introductions and some of the Twitter notes that were captured during the talk:
Keep an eye on @PP_Austin for information on the next Potluck and @Product_Camp for other Product Camp events across the country (Product Camp Minneapolis is Jan. 30th, Atlanta is Feb. 6th, Silicon Valley is March 13th).

I'm in my late twenties, so it's about 40 years until I hit state retirement age, and it's more than 25 years until I reach the age at which I can withdraw any of my pensions. I don't often think about what retirement might be like, or whether I'll be able to afford it.
I do have a little spreadsheet, that tracks my pension contributions, and investment balances and gives me an inflation adjusted projection of my retirement income. (What can I say, I'm a spreadsheet geek.) It's currently suggesting that I'll be ok to retire when I'm 68. I'll be rich enough to have an income that's about what I have now, assuming that I'll have paid off the mortgage by then.
I do put a reasonable amount away that's earmarked specifically for retirement – currently around 11% of my gross salary. My combined investment amount this year is likely to be around 16%-17% of my gross income. This is marginally more than 2007, and I'm hoping to increase it more each year if I can.
The rule of thumb is to contribute 10% of your income, and although I've had a pension since I left Uni, I'm not sure when I started contributing more than 10%. But then, I don't know if 10% is going to be a good rule of thumb for me. I'm pretty sure that you're supposed to start with what you want retirement to look like, and then work from there, but I honestly can't really imagine it.
I'm not anticipating taking early retirement. Compared to many of my m-network friends I have quite a conventional career/life thing going on. David @ my two dollars works for himself in various online ventures, Mrs. Micah has a patchwork career, being frugal and paidtwice are both pro-bloggers/SAHP/loads of other great suff, Patrick @ cash money life, pinyo @ moolanomy, gibble @ gather little by little, single guy money, and the doughroller are all heavily into alternative income (or have aspirations that way). I'm just well, me.
If things continue as they are for me, I'm likely to work (at a job I like) for a number of years, and then just retire when I can afford to. Pretty traditional and conventional. I absolutely don't mind this at all, it's just that without envisaging a kind of semi-retirement, it all seem such a very long way off. I am likely to be at least twice the age I am now when I retire, after all.
Because I'm sensible, and because I have no intention of being a poor old person, I'm dutifully putting away a good proportion of my money into retirement. Only enough that will do for retiring at 68 though. I just can't get excited enough about retiring to work harder on it.
What do you think? Are you working towards early retirement or semi-retirement? Or are there other conventional people like me out there? Let me know in the comments.

I voted for Bill because I'm shure Billy could burry Linus in legal problems, thus no need for real violence.
But the real battle, would be between Steve Ballmer and Richard Stallman

Good observation, kriss, about the thing between Steve Ballmer and Richard Stallman! I was just lmfao when I read that! How true, how true.
The 'rumble in the jungle' shouldn't be a physical one, though. It should be along the line of a 'haX0r warz' thing. That would be the REAL deal!
So, we now have two showdowns: Bill Gates vs. Linus Torvalds and Steve Ballmer vs. Richard Stallman.
Strangely enough, I think the one between Ballmer and Stallman would be the more interesting one!

(Poets and Poetry in America)
Marie Ponsot's use of her personal experiences never degenerates into the maudlin, nor does she invoke the circumstances of her life simply for dramatic effect. In Strange Good Fortune: Essays on Contemporary Poets (2000), poet David Wojahn suggests that such writing is misleading and dishonest, warning against writing talk-show poetry that aches for attention and headlines:For a poem of invective to work as it should, a writer must in most cases be especially careful to counterbalance the development of his/her argument with structural or formal devices which sharpen and underscore the writer's conviction and rage.
The strength of Ponsot's work is in how carefully she weaves her poems, using formal structural and sonic devices to sustain her argument. For example, when Ponsot speaks with anger about her divorce, her poems use traditional forms and fixed rhyme schemes to give the impression of a struggle between restraint and strong emotion. The emotion never sweeps away the poem, nor does the structure ever seem merely incidental or decorative. Both form and sense work together to create an organic whole.
True Minds
Lawrence Ferlinghetti published True Minds, Ponsot's first collection, just after he published Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956). Based on Ferlinghetti's choice, the public expected that Ponsot's work would follow in Ginsberg's Beat style and therefore greeted Ponsot's measured, formal verses with a profound silence. Although she continued to publish individual poems in magazines and journals, twenty-five years would pass before the publication of her second book.
A slim collection, True Minds presents a metaphysical meditation within the context of her life experiences. The sonnet form underscores the spiritual stance that characterizes much of Ponsot's work. "Espousal" echoes the vibrance of Gerard Manley Hopkins's ecstatic poems. This sonnet uses four stanzas of three lines, employing an abc rhyme scheme in each stanza. The sonnet ends with a couplet using bc. This interlocking echoes the images, which also repeat, describing a link between the spiritual and physical worlds:
And the cut-out sun-circle plunges, down it dives;And fire blazes at the earth's jewel-runneled core.
Ponsot takes liberties with the basic requirements of the form—the five-stress line with its regular rhyme scheme. The resulting poem celebrates the freshness of love as well as its connection to the natural world. This is a poem of young love that seems indestructible.
"The Given Grave Grown Green," a poem of foreboding, questions the assumption that love can endure, as if the poet foresees her future divorce. This is a poem of change. The poet experiences change occurring all around her. Wondering where she finds herself in the midst of such change, addressing the person who has been the agent of such turmoil, she finally says:
You can watch from your closed windowHow true false love has grown.
These lines mirror the contradiction inherent in the title. A grave is green only because of growth above it, not life within it. Likewise, what is true about love in this poem is that the love has become false.
Admit Impediment
Ponsot's second collection, Admit Impediment, provides a fuller exploration of the themes found in True Minds. Both collections take their titles from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, which begins, "Let me not to the marriage of true minds/ Admit impediments. . . ." Divided into four sections, the second collection opens with "For a Divorce," one of the longer poems gathered here. It is a dark poem, whose irregular stanzaic patterns lead the reader through the emotional intricacies that attend a divorce. This poem catalogs the pain of the divorce and the specific areas of brokenness, recalling the various images of the marriage itself. The short, strong lines emphasize the full-stop of the relationship, the sounds within the lines almost jarring at times. The poet concludes:
Deaths except for amoeba articulatelife into lives, separate, named, new.Not all sworn faith dies. Ours did.
This is an angry poem whose emotion is carefully controlled for vivid effect. While the poet attempts to avoid blame (the lines previously quoted are as close as she comes to specific details about the cause of the break), she achieves a level of clarity for the reader's consideration by beginning her poem with nearly all of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116. Although she does not quote Shakespeare's final two lines, their sense is implied throughout this collection:
If this be error, and upon me prov'dI never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
The Green Dark
Ponsot's third collection, The Green Dark, weaves mythic elements into the fabric of her poems, along with her accustomed biographical...

And the 'Least Effective Attempt to Convince America That Hugo Chavez Isn't a Dictator' Award Goes To…
Filed Under Celebrity Idiots, Politics | 2 Comments
You guessed it!
Sean Penn, the part time actor and full time spokesman for the Hugo Chavez Office of Public Relations, US Chapter, was on Bill Maher's show talking about Hugo Chavez, who Penn met on eDictatorHarmony.com.
Here's what Penn thinks should happen to people who "falsely" accuse Chavez of being a dictator:
PENN: The collaborative opportunity in Haiti, when you talk about Hugo Chavez, and some of the other people who are demonized [think Castro], and you know, when some of these countries accuse us of an occupation — where I believe this was strictly a humanitarian action by the United States military, and an incredible one – I'm a little sympathetic. Because every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it! And accept it. And this is mainstream media, who should – truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.
Good argument. Saying that people who speak their minds should be thrown in prison will go a long way in convincing the world that Chavez isn't a dictator. I'd say it also doesn't help convince us that Penn isn't a moron, but we already knew that.

I am thinking that Penn suffered from lack of oxygen at birth as his excuse for these comments but then when you see him sitting next to Maher making these statements I am convinced that the public education system in this country is a complete failure.

You know it's a pathetic interview when Maher looks like the sane one.

I love how this little corner of the internet allows me to meet some really interesting people, the latest being Alice Agnelli, the creator of Italian food blog A Gipsy In the Kitchen. Sadly her blog is written in Italian but a peek at the photos shows it's worth switching Google Translate on. We caught up for dinner at Lee Ho Fook which has just moved into new digs just off Flinders Lane in the CBD. I love, love, LOVED Le Ho Fook in its Smith Street incarnation so was keen to see how the restaurant translated into the much bigger central location.
Lee Ho Fook is now housed in a big converted warehouse space over two levels. It lacks some of the intimacy and atmosphere of the original restaurant but I liked how the exposed brick walls have been retained to keep a sense of the history of the space.
We tackled the menu a little differently than usual as Alice and her partner are pescatarian so meat was off the cards. To start, super fresh Pacific oysters ($4 each) and Lee Ho Fook's signature tea smoked eggs ($5 each) which are rich and sticky.
We couldn't resist trying the whacky sounding Chinese/Italian pizza called a "Chinizza" ($18). Topped with finely chopped spring onions and soft cheese it had lots of zing and crunch but I couldn't help but wish for an actual pizza.
A must order dish, whether you are eating meat or not is Lee Ho Fook's crispy eggplant ($20). Long pieces of egg plant are deep fried so they are mushy inside and crunchy on the outside and drizzled with red vinegar to add bite. Warning – these are addictive!
King prawns ($36) are rich and luxurious thanks to being stir fried with lashings of Cantonese garlic butter and topped with prawn floss and the stir fried white cabbage and crispy brussel sprouts offer a lovely textural contrast along with some heat from a scattering of sichuan pepper ($21).
Where Lee Ho Fook falls down is with dessert. The sweet corn ice-cream ($7) served with salted coconut mousse sounded intriguing but was really quite wrong with the ice-cream failing to nail that tricky sweet savoury combination. The chocolate brownie with lotus seed icecream and cured egg yolk ($7) was a decent brownie but the accompaniments did nothing for it. Sadly I don't love the new Lee Ho Fook as much as I did the original.
Details: Lee Ho Fook, 11-15 Duckboard Place, Melbourne (Ph +61 3 9077 6261)
Damage: Reasonable.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Review
Last 2 week, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended was launched. I was unable to attend the launching event since I went to Singapore for but thanks to Anne from PPM Technology & Communications for passing me the Trial CD of Acrobat 9 Pro for me to test it. Oh it was the right time to test it since the company portfolio getting bigger and need an update so I decided to make he new update of company portfolio using Acrobat 9.
Upon installing and looking at the guide for newbies. i start with scratching my head. I always view PDF but to make a PDF is a new thing for me actually. Automate function in Photoshop were very useful. All the file for the company profile were 10MB but it was shrinked to 7MB with Maximum Setting. Then i start to insert media to my PDF.
There are two options when creating PDF from Acrobat 9.First is to combine all media to one-page-PDF. The another one is PDF portfolio. So i will explain about one-page-PDF.
So first, I insert the SWF to the PDF. This page is for , where we were assigned to do their company website. What i put here is the company intro and embedded in the pdf.
so this is what happen after i put the flash intro. you just have to click the area and then it will be played. but not click on this picure, click in the pdf :p
next i try to link it with youtube, but it didn't work. i try to link with youtube because nowadays even a company put their demoreel at youtube. i thought i can save some bandwidth but not. so i decide to just import the video. so the imported video was the demonstration of our sleek and fun . As for video, if you're importing other-than-flv format, you'll see this panel below.
(click for bigger picture)
the option pretty the same with Adobe Flash Video Encoder, where you can specify the In/Out point, and also, use the chosen frame/part that you want to display on your pdf. when clicking 'OK', Acrobat will start Transcoding the video.
next is the intro of the game we're just completed but awaiting deployment from the client to their website. this is the intro of the game. what i do is link area with the file. but then, one issue when linking the media, is for Acrobat to ask wheter you want to run the content from the website. like this below.
Alongside with Acrobat 9 Pro, Adobe Presenter was included. Adobe Presenter will help to take your PowerPoint Presentations to the next level. With Adobe Presenter, you can simply create somewhat your own classes, attach notes and upload to your personal website. More importantly, you're also able to add Flash, Flash Video, and Voice Over. So after you're installing Acrobat 9 pro, you can see there's a tab at Microsoft PowerPoint named "Adobe Presenter".
Of course from the drop down menu there are pretty extensive function you can use including Quiz Manager. you're also able to choose themes that suit your presentation and also give title and description.
and when your Presentations ready to go, just publish it. you can publish it as PDF, uploadto Acrobat Connect Pro or publish in your computer and able to copy it to cd, like the screenshot below.
so today, i learn something new hehe.
to view the sample how the Adobe Presenter look like, click here for my . Oh it doesn't contain any transition of the powerpoint, but it was to give you the feel of Adobe Presenter.
I decide not to upload the company profile, because the size is 20MB. But if you insist, just request here with your mail and I'll send to you the company profile

Red Bull employs 9,000 people, while the Norwich brewer has just eight staff, but Red Bull decided it was a threat and in a letter from its Austria headquarters it said Redwell's application "comprises Red Bull's earlier trademark 'red' as a whole, which is a prima facie for the similarity of signs".
It adds: "Moreover, all trademarks consist solely of English words and contain the common element 'red'. The term 'well' is merely descriptive and therefore of no distinctive character at all.
"Furthermore the term 'bull' and the term 'well' share the same ending and just differ in two letters.
"The ending 'll' is identical and therefore the terms Red Bull and Redwell are confusingly similar from a visual as well from a phonetical point of view."
Redwell called it an over-the-top reaction and said it simply named itself after Redwell Street in Norwich. It will try to appease Red Bull without changing its name.

Three off-licences in Hastings have been given the all-clear after licensing officers tested their premises to see if they sold alcohol to under age customers.
Police carried out a series of test purchases using a 16-year-old boy at off-licenses in Hastings on Friday September 26, many of which had sold alcohol to under 18s in the past.
Staff at Food City in Wellington Place, The Corner Shop in Cambridge Road and Turner's in High Street, Hastings all demanded to see ID before they would sell the teenager drink.
Licensing officers PC Laura Deacon and PC Chris Trevena worked with officers from the Hastings neighbourhood policing team to test three Hastings premises using a 16-year-old volunteer.
PC Laura Deacon said: "Working alongside colleagues and partner agencies, we have carried out several test purchase operations at licensed premises across Hastings and Rother. All tests are intelligence-led which means we have information that the premises have sold alcohol to children in the past.
"We will continue to work with local licensees in getting the message across about the negative impact that alcohol can have on children and our community."
Western Road Stores in Western Road, Bexhill, sold alcohol to the 16-year-old and could now face a fine or prosecution.
To discuss licensing issues or raise concerns about licensed premises in the Hastings and Rother areas contact a member of the East Sussex Licensing team on 101 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
To report the sale of alcohol to children call 101.

text: If it has the metal gold coloured reservoir on the firewall, it's red ATF originally. If this is the case and you just drained red ATF, I would refill with the same.

Confused... http://www.isham_research.co.uk/quattro/brake_system.html says the original system used ATF and this should never be used on the later models (MB-RR). They use the green Hydraulic oil (P/N G 002 000) instead. This can be used in both systems, old and new. ETKA also says to use the green hydraulic oil in my car (1986 WR-GV) but this is not the "so called later car" ! Furthermore, my old hydralic fluid was coloured RED, I assume this was ATF? I also noticed all of my hydraulic hoses to and from steering rack, hydraulic pump, pressure regulator etc. are sweating. Could this be caused by the (wrong) ATF eating it's way out thru? When the new bomb is put back in, I'll have to refill the reservoir. Of course, the whole system has some of the old ATF left, can I just mix this with the green hydraulic oil or do I have the flush the old system and how? Or should I stick with the red stuff, if it's ATF in the first place... Thanks again.

A college freshman thinks it's OK to write checks until her checkbook runs out of them, regardless of how much money is actually in her account. An 18-year-old leaves a sign on an open register at the juice shop where he works that says, "Be back in 15 minutes." After switching majors seven times, a 23-year-old finally leaves college with a degree in a field she doesn't like, $14,000 in credit card debt, and a student loan payment schedule that will follow her until her own kids go to college.
These are all shocking but true stories of real young people who met the real world completely unprepared. This spring, as more than 3 million high school seniors walk off the graduation plank and into the unknown waters of adult life, twice as many parents will wonder, "Is my kid ready?"
We'd like to think so, but the truth is: Probably not. The Alliance for Excellent Education estimates only 34 percent of high school graduates are actually prepared for college. Economists say that over the next decade, the U.S. workforce will need 22 million college graduates but will fall short by 3 million. Even with an unemployment rate above 8 percent, many businesses say it's still hard to recruit enough qualified workers.
As most high schools don't offer a Real World 101 elective, it's up to parents to arm their kids with life skills that will ensure they don't wind up living on the parents' couch.
So who are the parents of the prepared 34 percent, and what are they doing right? As author of the book "Real World 101: A Survival Guide to Life After High School," I frequently speak to teens about what to expect. Overwhelmingly, I've found that kids from lower-income families in which both parents work are most ready to face real life.
On the opposite side, many kids from well-to-do backgrounds are often byproducts of enablement, their well-meaning parents "easing their path" by handling all the rigors of real life for them. But coddled kids are the ones most likely to move back home.
Regardless of a child's economic background, there are things all parents can do to prepare their kids from a young age to face the real world:
1. Involve your children in the family finances. Provide opportunities for your child to work either inside or outside the home. Teach your kids to first save a generous portion of a paycheck, then allocate the rest responsibly. Parents who disclose their own household budgeting decisions tend to raise kids who ask for less and appreciate more.
2. Encourage real work from a young age. Children as young as 5 are capable of making and packing their own lunch. By 8, they can sort, wash and fold laundry. By 12, they can earn money babysitting, washing windows, pet sitting or doing yard work. While it might seem "easier" or "more nurturing" to perform a simple task for your kids, allowing them to do it themselves empowers them with self-confidence and independence.
3. Take them with you. As you go about adult tasks – getting your oil changed, buying a car, meeting with your accountant, shipping a package at the post office – bring your child along and point out the steps such processes involve. Show them the reality of how much real life costs so they're not blindsided when they find out that car insurance and dry cleaning actually cost money!?
4. Engage in adult conversations. The average teen spends SEVEN hours a day with an electronic device. Enforce daily unplugged time and practice conversational skills through family dinners and activities that will prepare kids for how to interact with adults in a job interview.
5. Hold off on the bailout. How often do we hear of parents who rearrange their day to drop off that forgotten homework assignment or left-behind lunch? A child is much less likely to "forget" when forced to face real consequences, just as a missing mattress quickly motivates a child to make his bed when he gets it back. Tough love is usually healthy love.
6. Teach your kids gratitude. Kids quickly discover that Mary Poppins is not a built-in feature of a first apartment. But why wait that long to teach them to appreciate others? Require your children from a young age to hand-write thank you notes. To verbally acknowledge the people who serve them. And to understand that a parent's service is a choice, not a duty.
Raising self-reliant children might seem easier said than done. But if parents commit early on to demonstrating principles that will make everyone's life a little easier in the end, they can rest assured their kids will be ready to face the real world. And that when they return home to the couch, it will be for a visit and not for life.
