X factor winner - 3 days to go!
With only 3 days to go before the winner of X Factor is decided, we thought it would be useful to do some analysis on what people have been saying on twitter. Again, we should note that the twitter demographic as we know does not match the demographic of the voting public. However we can look to see if there are any trends in the data, or anything else of interest.
One of the things we can do is look at who is context with the word 'win'. This should give us an indication of who is being talked about, and who the twitter public either most want to win, or who they think is most likely to win.
The chart below shows how each contestant has trended in the past 4 days in positive context with the word 'win'. Here we can see a continuation of the high score for Cher from the weekend. However this did not prevent Cher from falling into the bottom two, and suggests that there is an online campaign to try to return Cher as the winner of the X Factor. We saw a similar thing with Wagner, where he scored extremely well (in terms of the number of tweets in context with 'win' and other winning words).
We can also see a similar story for negative context. In this case, we can interpret the graph as meaning which contestant people most do not want to win. Here Cher is again the top scorer, indicating that people either love or hate her. We see Matt and Rebecca tending to do quite well, indicating that the majority of people like them, particularly in comparison to One Direction and Cher.
These graphs only tell part of the story however. Let's look at some negative context analysis for Cher, can we understand why people do not like her? Or conversely why they feel so passionately about her?
In many respects each of the contestants in reaching this stage is a winner in their own right. Each of them have different singing styles and so the winner is more likely to be determined by the demographic of the voting public. Our analysis will now look to focus on brand loyalty in terms of these contestants - what makes them interesting, and what makes them different.
Let's first look at the words in negative context with Cher. As before, the ~ character indicates a 'not' in front of the word, since it was found in negative context with Cher.
05/12/2010 ~cher ~singing ~ballads ~songs ~done ~slow ~would ~isn ~week ~cocky
06/12/2010 ~cher ~lloyd ~mary ~win ~final ~know ~last ~get ~will ~say
07/12/2010 ~cher ~dont ~win ~want ~2010 ~think ~going ~are ~cant ~watch
08/12/2010 ~cher ~lloyd ~ever ~youtube ~heard ~nickiminaj ~amazing ~week ~has ~fierce
We can see the development of the words over each day. At first, we see the focus on her not singing ballads. We then see comments on the fact that people do not want Cher to win.
If we look at the positive context, at first this makes not so much sense.
05/12/2010 cher mary matt rebecca direction voting leak russia leaked x-factor
06/12/2010 cher lloyd malvern gone tickets gig factor 2010 fixing accused
07/12/2010 cher 2010 going can back cherlloyd follow chertowin lloyd love
08/12/2010 cher lloyd cole cheryl malvern cherlloyd performs vote4cher video factor
There is a large focus here on Malvern, which a quick Google search shows is where Cher is from, and is in reference to her returning and performing a small concert. This story is dominating this analysis, so we can look at the next 10 words in context with Cher to see if there is anything else of interest.
05/12/2010 results will tonight was had are final bottom get cheryl
06/12/2010 show bosses metro booted noonelikesyoubecause direction cheryl ferguson nicki really
07/12/2010 still support were retweet gona damn straight amazing has hashtagged
08/12/2010 awkward let dancing cringe fans mobbed followers twitter gains perform
This time we can see some negative comments come through. Evidently the 5th December shows the discussion of her in the bottom two. Subsequent days however has 'noonelikesyoubecause' coming through along with words like: awkward, cringe. So we see a mixed picture for Cher, which reflects the earlier analysis showing that people either love her or hate her.
We will continue this analysis in the coming days, and repeat for the other contestants.

MyPantone – Favorite New App!
We love color! Every tone and shade, from bright to neutrals—if Pantone has it, we get excited about it! This is why we became overjoyed when we downloaded the newest Pantone App for iPhones and iPod Touches called MyPantone. This great new app allows you to display over 5,000 shades, helping you choose the perfect color for everything from a wall color, to a couch fabric, and even the perfect shade of fabric to complete a window treatment.
Can't find your shade or color palette but love what you see in a recent photo you took? This great app also allows you to extract the color palette from the photo and selects the exact Pantone colors for you. It's priced a little higher then most of the apps at $9.99, but we think that the extra cost is totally worth the fun, entertainment, and usefulness this app brings to its users. Download it today, and make over your space this weekend!

Photo By: Elin Chow
Okay, finally, I have reached the last part of my Singapore Zoo highlights. I hope everyone of you have an enjoyable time reading my wild adventures at the Singapore Zoo. Just in case anyone have not read:

Click here to read Part 2: Visiting The Singapore Zoo [Part 2]
Click here to read Part 3: Visiting The Singapore Zoo [Part 3]
Click here to read Part 4: Visiting The Singapore Zoo [Part 4]
Before I start on the last post, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Singapore Zoo for their remarkable achievement recently. Due to their continuous hard work and effort, the Singapore Zoo has been ranked as the BEST ZOO in Asia by TripAdvisor this year!
Well done, Singapore Zoo! Keep up with the good job. I will always feel so proud of Singapore Zoo.
Ahem...Sorry that I got sidetracked a little. So, without further ado, let's continue our wild adventure at the Wild African zone.
#35 Giraffe
The Giraffe, tallest animal living on earth. Due to its extremely long neck and distinctive coat patterns, the Giraffe is also one of the most recognizable animals on planet. Its populations are scattered across the northern regions of Chad, South Africa, western Niger and eastern Somalia where they are usually found living on large grassland, savannas or open woodland.
The Giraffe exhibit is my most favorite exhibit at the Wild Africa zone. It is not because I am particularly fond of Giraffes, but rather this is the only exhibit where I could get really close to the animals from a raised platform.
Just in case anyone is interested, you could purchase a basket of carrots from the Zoo keeper on site and feed the Giraffes during their scheduled feeding time. Observe the Giraffes carefully as they wrapped their extremely long dark tongue around the piece of carrot from your hand. You would be amazed by length of its tongue, which is also known to be longest in the animal kingdom. The tallest animal born with the longest tongue on earth. What an interesting combination!
See! This is apparently how close I could get to the Giraffes!
#36 African Lion
The African Lion - King of the Jungle. The second largest living cat on earth after the Tiger, African Lions are mostly found in eastern and southern Africa. Its population is currently critically threatened due to habitat loss and increased contact with humans.
#37 Meerkat
"Look! It's Timon from the Lion King!" I could not describe how excited I was when I saw the Meerkats for the first time.
Meerkat, also known as Suricate, is found largely in Kalahari Desert in Botswana, parts of the Namib Desert in Namibia, Southwestern Angola and also in South Africa.
Meerkats generally tend to live in a sizeable group and work together in numbers. During foraging activity, at least one Meerkat will be left to stand guard while the rest busy themselves searching for food.
Conincidentally, I happened to capture a shot of the Meerkats showing their unique foraging behaving on one of my particular trip to the Singapore Zoo. I must be quite lucky that day.
Meerkats are insectivores where its diet consists primarily of insects. Occasionally, Meerkat will also feed on other small reptiles such as scorpions, snakes, lizards, spiders, millipedes and centipedes.
Feeding time! The menu for the day was.... MEAL WORMS! Eew... that was really gross. However, meal worms are a delicacy for the Meerkats.
#38 Warthog
Next, we headed to the Warthog exhibit where you will meet another interesting character from the Disney animation, The Lion King. If you know Timon from the Lion King, I believe you would be familiar with his friend, Pumbaa as well.
A wild member of the pig family, the Warthog is the only pig species found living in grassland, savanna and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa.
Tropical Crops and Orchid Garden
Just in case you wanted to take a short break from observing animals, do consider visiting Tropical Crops and Orchid Garden located right behind the Wild Africa zone.
The Tropical Crops and Orchid Garden is set against the beautiful backdrop of the Seletar Reservoir. Aww... I really love the fresh air, the smell of trees, scent of the beautiful flowers and occasional birds chirping sounds. So peaceful and calm.
Rain Forest KidzWorld
For parents with kids, the Rain Forest KidzWorld, especially the Wet Play area is definitely one of the must visit zone for you at the Singapore Zoo. Featuring a mini water theme park, I believe this is where kids will enjoy their day at the Singapore Zoo so much till the point that they would not want to leave.
I did not dare to join in the fun as I thought it would be quite an embarrassing thing for me to do at my age. Imagine my husband and I scream in excitement as we splash each other with water? I believe we will look extremely ridiculous and stupid to most people. If we have a kid, I think that will be an entirely different case.
#39 Pony, Falabella & Horse
It is fine if you do not wish to get yourself wet. Instead, you might want to spend more time visiting the farm animals instead while you are exploring the Rain Forest KidzWorld.
Ponies are small horses that are distinguishable by their thicker manes, tails and overall coat. Comparing to horses, ponies are born with smaller ears and sturdy body. Other than that, their legs and heads are relatively much more shorter than horses. Ponies, although have several distinctive features, are often mistaken as foal of horses. I am not an exception as I too, have failed to differentiate a pony from a young horse.
A Falabella, on the other hand, is a miniature horse. Known to be one of the smallest breeds of horse in the world, its populations are most found in Europe and America.
#40 Goat
A subspecies of the wild goats of Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe, domestic goats are actually among the earliest animals domesticated by humans.
#41 Rabbits
Rabbits! I love rabbits and I believe most of the kids will love to give the rabbits a cuddle too. Sadly, the Singapore Zoo does not have a rabbit cuddling session where you could pay and hug the rabbits. I bet I would go all crazy if I am allowed to hold one.
Look at those little furry ones! How adorable!
Well, I have come to an end of my Singapore Zoo highlights. Hope that everyone of you have a really wild and enjoyable adventure with me!
If you happen to be someone who just love to visit the Zoo like me, I believe you will enjoy a wild and fun day at the River Safari Singapore as well.

"Your 20 year old daughter MADE that card?" I asked my best friend. The card images and text were stamped and embellished with a well-placed rhinestone. A 3-D feel was created by layered focal points and a beautiful ribbon completed the look. She showed me several more cards that she received for her birthday and her recent wedding anniversary. I was in awe and felt so inspired as I saw card after card, each with its own unique charm! I couldn't wait to learn to hand craft my own cards!<...

There's a good reason why this picture of stuffed shells is half eaten. After writing about my mother's Sunday Gravy last week on Bay Area Bites, I was really in the mood for a hearty Italian dish. Although I was tempted to make the gravy itself, I was too exhausted after adopting a puppy last Saturday. Bolognese seemed a nice compromise, and what better way to eat it than with stuffed shells. By the time the dish was finished, my family and I didn't waste a moment before we dug into this cheesy dish topped with a slow-simmered meat sauce. It wasn't until we were done eating and I was sipping what remained of my glass of red wine that I realized I forgot to take the picture. Oops.
Stuffed shells is one of those great dishes that looks difficult, but is actually very easy. After making a simple beef Bolognese, it's just a matter of cooking the shell pasta until it's al dente and then stuffing them. You can even make everything a day ahead, and then assemble when ready to bake.
My baked stuffed shells with Bolognese really hit the spot, satisfying my craving for a rich Italian meaty sauce without all the work of making a traditional gravy.
Simple Beef Bolognese
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 pound ground beef (preferably not too lean)
1 medium onion diced into small pieces
1 medium carrot diced into small pieces
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 small can tomato paste
1 (16-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand, with the juices
1 cup red wine
1 cup beef or chicken broth or water
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp fresh basil chopped
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot or pan (I like to use cast iron or a Le Creuset)
- Add onion, carrots, and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat or until vegetables are soft.
- Add meat and cook until it is lightly browned
- Incorporate the tomato paste and herbs into the meat and cook for another five minutes
- Add the wine and broth or water and stir, being sure to scrape the pan to deglaze any meat or tomato juices from the bottom
- Add the tomatoes and some salt and pepper to taste
- Simmer covered for at least an hour, preferably a little longer
Stuffed Shells
1 box of large pasta shells
1 8-ounce container of fresh ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 Tbsp fresh parsley or basil
Salt and Pepper
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Note: Double the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese if you want the dish to be extra cheesy.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Cook pasta in salted water until it's al dente
- Rinse pasta under cool water
- Mix the ricotta cheese, egg, herbs, and some salt and pepper together in a bowl
- Ladle some of the Bolognese sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish and set aside
- Stuff each shell with some of the ricotta mixture and then place in the prepared baking dish
- Cover the stuffed shells enough sauce to cover the pasta
- Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese
- Cover with aluminum foil, oiled on the bottom side
- Bake for 35 minutes covered, and then 10-15 more minutes uncovered or until the cheese are bubbling and the dish looks done.
- Serve with any extra Bolognese sauce

What SaaS ERP Means for your Business
Software as a service (SaaS) enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), also called on-demand software, hosted software, and utility computing, have been highly disruptive in the application software industry, but not in a bad way. There are several reasons why more and more businesses are going for SaaS ERP.
1) SaaS ERP's delivery model allows your business to get, benefit from, and utilize new technology ERPs without having to deal with the complexity and the large capital expenditure. If you are not satisfied with the software, you can always get rid of it without feeling the pinch.
2) IDC, Forrester, Aberdeen and other reputable bodies have given believable and logical TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) forecasts. They show that you get a lower TCO over a 5 year life with SaaS ERP solutions.
3) Since you do not have to invest in such platform software components as relational DBs, operating systems, maintenance management tools, and security appliances and the relevant computer hardware, this lowers the time it takes to implement a project. It also reduces the risk of failure and project delays.
4) You should go for a SaaS ERP solution since your software implementation will be quicker than with a traditional software solution. This is because implementing a traditional software solution means installing and configuring platform software, hardware servers, data center appliances, and other computing hardware.
5) You will get outsourced expertise and skills with SaaS ERP. This is important because it allows your in-house IT staff to focus on higher priority projects, on strategic services, and on core competencies. You actually save money with SaaS ERPs because it means you do not have to hire a dedicated IT staff for enterprise resource planning.
6) SaaS ERP has a pay-as-you-go pricing model. This eliminates the cost overruns that are associated with on-premise solutions. You also get a predictable future payment schedule.
7) Your business stands to benefit, in that you will sign an SLA (Service Level Agreement) with the provider and you will get back up. You do not have to pay if you do not access the system from anywhere, anytime.
There are many SaaS ERP solutions in the market, some better than others. One of the SaaS ERP solution providers, who is creating a lot of hype, is FinancialForce. FinancialForce.com primarily offers a cloud ERP solution for a Salesforce.com cloud computing platform called Force.com. So, what does FinancialForce offer?
• FinancialForce recently announced that it was seeking venture capital in the region of $100 million, a few years after raising another $50 million. This investment is proof that Salesforce takes FinancialForce seriously.
• FinancialForce runs on the Salesforce cloud platform. Salesforce.com has made a name for itself in the cloud computing world with products like Salesforce test data, meaning you get the best of both worlds.
• FinancialForce has received several awards and recognition over the years. This is testament of its superiority. They include the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award from THINKstrategies, Inc., 2011 Red Herring Top 100 North America, and 2013 OnDemand 100 award from AlwaysOn Networks. Forbes named CEO Jeremy Roche one of the 2014 CEOs to Work For.

Rules of Negotiation
In a no-strings attached fling, NYC's most eligible bachelor, Brit Bencher, vows to make a high-powered corporate attorney, Tori Anderson, feel like a woman. But what will she do when he decides he won't take "one night stand" for an answer?
The Boss's Fake Fiance
No relationships, that's billionaire Garth Solen's rule—especially not with a woman like his new employee Melissa Bencher, who thinks with her heart and not her head. But all bets are off when Melissa tries to make her jerk ex-boyfriend jealous by suggesting that she's dating her gorgeous boss. The game is clear: for one month, they play the part of an engaged couple, and then they part ways. No emotions. No entanglements. But when it comes to matters of the heart, Melissa's never been good at following the rules…
Falling for Mr. Wrong
Kelsey is as far from Ross Bencher's ideal as a woman can get, but she continues to bewitch him at every turn. As a single father of three, Ross knows the kind of woman he needs: someone predictable, reliable, and safe; someone who can give his kids the security they deserve. Someone completely different from Kelsey, his temporary nanny, who only has the Himalayan climbing expedition on her mind. She knows that she can't afford any second-guessing, attachments, or distractions, but try telling that to her heart when Ross's blue eyes and strong hands leave her gasping... and questioning everything she's ever known about love.
Meet Sam and Brit - I can't figure out which one I loved the most at the end of the book. Sam is a workaholic that puts in 80 plus hours a week trying to make partner at her law firm. She's an amazing lawyer and that's how she runs into Brit. He's buying her clients company - but he has something else he wants as well, and plans to seduce her to get it (the big jerk face). But it all comes back to kick him in the butt when he falls for her and she figures out what he's done.
Now I don't normally like romances that start with a bunch of lies - but something about Brit really won me over. In this book we get to meet Brit's family - which star in the next novels in the bundle and it really sets the stage well for their stories to begin.
The Boss's Fake Fiance
Melissa is Brit's little sister. She's a technology genius and has landed her dream job with Garth Soren's company. One small problem, she's got a crush on the boss. When she tells an itty bitty fib to get back at her cheating bastard of an ex-boyfriend things get really out of control.
Garth is a private man - a man that doesn't like his emotions or personal life to be anything but personal. So when the papers announce that he has a fiance he didn't know about he's pissed. His punishment is to make Melissa play along for awhile. Their plan leads to some very interesting things. I loved Melissa for her personality and I loved Garth for his awkwardness. They made such a cute couple, even if it was fake...but the ending...the ending had me almost in tears.

Google's Executive Chairman in North Korea on Private Mission
(SEOUL, South Korea) -- Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt arrived in North Korea on Monday with former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as part of a private, humanitarian mission.
The two are looking to negotiate the return of an American citizen jailed in the communist country.
While Richardson said the visit was not a "Google trip," North Korea's Internet use is limited and strictly controlled, but its new, young leader, Kim Jong Un, is reportedly interested.
Schmidt is an advocate of expanding Internet access and technology to people around the world, so there is an assumption that perhaps North Korea is getting ready to open up its country to more Internet access to its people.
The U.S. State Department has criticized the visit, which comes weeks after Pyongyang launched another long range rocket, defying international protests.

Sorry, we don't have a photo of George Pearson.
George Pearson (19 March 1875 – 6 February 1973) was a pioneering English film director, producer and screenwriter, mainly in the silent film era. He was born in London.The only son of George Pearson, a silk tie cutter, George Pearson's first profession after Culham College, near Oxford (not a college of Oxford University) was teaching. He excelled in this role, becoming a headmaster by 1902 at the age of 26. His major post was at Staples Rd School Loughton Essex, on which there is a blue plaque. He was originally drawn to film making as an educational aid. In 1913 Pearson entered the film industry, initially as a script writer. Pearson worked for Gaumont and later joined the Colonial Film Unit (later the Commonwealth Film Unit), remaining in employment until the age of 81. Though little of his work is known to have survived, Pearson is credited with pioneering the use of the moving camera shot.In 1951, he was awarded the OBE. Pearson married Edith Stacey (1881-1961) in 1901. They had two sons and two daughters. One daughter, Winifred, worked as a film editor. He died in Great Malvern, Worcestershire in 1973, aged nearly 98, outliving Winifred and his elder son, Malcolm, a surgeon. In 1957, his autobiography, Flashback, was published.

text: Why does God allow suffering? It's a question asked by our society and culture. The root of that question comes through knowing our fallen nature.

Our little guy is fast asleep now after a long day full of warm sunshine and loads of play time. Since Brooks can walk now, we decided to take him hiking on the Natchez Trace. Despite a few falls and a scraped knee, he had so much fun waddling through the field and exploring in the woods. He discovered that pinecones hurt, riding on Daddy's shoulders is sometimes more fun than walking, and flowers don't taste very good!
I love spending time with my little family, especially on beautiful days like today. I'm so glad spring has sprung once again!

I've been getting some queries recently about the type of software I use to track my meals and workouts. Since there is a super deal on one of the programs I've been using from the start right now, I'm going to post the relevant link and a brief review here.
Keyoe's Diet and Exercise Assistant
This program is available for Palm OS, Pocket PC, and Windows. It's main strength is as a portable calorie counter/food log. It includes a very big food database that works much like the one at Fitday.com. You can customize the database by adding your own favorite ingredients and meals to it. Tracking your intake can be done with a few taps of your stylus, and if you are a gadget dork like me, you will always have your PDA handy with you so there are no excuses for not logging.
There's also an exercise log (no customizable exercise database, alas, but a good selection of popular activities are included and you can enter unlisted activites in a "User defined activity" entry).
Other features include a measurement log, daily weight log/chart, and a built-in goal calculator that will let you enter your desired weight and deadline and then automatically calculate your target calories per day for you. The cheesy little water tracker has come in handy for me, too.
Something else that makes the program very useful for even non-number crunchers is the macronutrient ratio tracker. Not sure if you are hitting your desired ratio of 40/40/20 or whatever else you are using? Plug in your target ratios under the Goal area, and the program will show you in four different graphs if you are meeting your stated targets for calories, carbs, protein, and fat. And yes, it will give you your daily percentages for these things as well.
How do you think I've been getting my daily stats for calories eaten, +/- calorie target, and nutrient ratios every day? Surely you didn't think that I actually logged into Fitday daily or wrote everything down in an archaic notebook to calculate by hand, did you?
The two PDA versions are normally around $20 each, and the desktop program (which can sync with your PDA version) is usually $10. You can get the programs at half price with the following code if you order directly through http://www.keyoe.com

We all love to take a break and while out on a vacation we don't even want our work to hound us. But while going on a vacation you can't inform one and all personally that you will be out of town. So if there is someone doing this job on your behalf then it will be mostly welcomed. Gmail has brought a Vacation Responder for your Android where you can leave a customize message stating your return date. If you want everybody to know about your vacation they will be receiving the auto generated mail informing them of your absence and when to expect a reply.
This app is really helpful as it won't fill up your inbox with loads of mail as the people want a reply to their mail and when they are unable to find one they keep following you. This makes them irritated too and you might also lose out on business if you have missed out on informing them about your vacation plans beforehand. So, without wasting any more time setup the Vacation Responder and have a wonderful vacation.
The setup is really simple, follow the steps and you will be done with the installation.
Download the latest version of Gmail on your Android device for setting up the out of office message
- When the update is installed, launch the app and go to the Settings section an select an account for which you want to setup the auto response
- Scroll down to the bottom of the respective account's settings page and you will find the vacation responder, click on it
- First fill up the subject of your response which is followed by the body, then provide a start date and end date. You also need to select to whom you want to send the customized message, if you want to send this to everybody then don't check the boxes. Now, when everything has been updated you just have to enable the responder.
The vacation responder option appears just under the Signature. So, finding it is also easy in the settings section. Another most attention-grabbing feature is that it will turn itself off automatically. If you want you can enable it for few people who are in your domain or to those people who are in your contact list.
It is helpful as sometimes you just rush out of your office to the airport to catch your scheduled flight. At that point of time, the only thing that comes to your mind is the flight timing and how you will be reaching airport within such a short period of time. But with the introduction of vacation responder, life will be much simpler as you will now be able to update the response through your android phones and don't have to rely on your old PC anymore. This is a very important tool though it has some limitations but it is good enough to put across the important details to the concerned people.

There's no way to offer a shortcut description of what Beth Orton sounds like. There are so many musical styles pulsing through Central Reservation--jazz, folk, pop, rock, and dance--that the album could easily have ended up an empty exercise in genre-hopping. Instead, it's a bracing example of mongrel music at its best as Orton carves out a new musical vocabulary with deep roots in familiar sounds. --Keith Moerer

As eclectic as Van Morrison, and so much more
lain4ever | Los Angeles, CA | 04/01/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Beth Orton can too easily be compared to Van Morrison, who melded celtic folk with rock, jazz and countless other styles.
In fact, Orton is far more eclectic, mixing classical violins and jazz and trip-hop together to make one of the best albums I've ever heard.
"Central Reservation" is a demonstration of just how diverse her stylings are. Songs such as "Stolen Car" feature cool mixes of upbeat trip-hop with folk and classical violins. And Orton is the sage who takes center stage when she sings, "When every line speaks the language of love/And never held the meaning I was thinking of/And I can't decide over right or wrong/You left the feeling that I just do not belong."
True, Orton isn't as riotously rebellious as Sleater-Kinney, who demanded that men dig her out of this mess. However, Orton has a sly way of upsetting the gender balance of power with biting words and orchestrations of electric cellos, among other instruments.
Other songs, such as "So Much More," feature the smoothest keyboards and electronic sounds, like a cool cross-breed of Enya and jazz. But this song is nowhere near as elegant as the seven-minute long "Pass in Time," with a gorgeous string ensemble playing to jazz basses and acoustic guitars. It's such a unique mix of country and jazz, with the fantastic singing talent of Terry Cavalier.
Although hard rock fans might sleep as Beth Orton slides by singing the beautiful acoustic songs "Sweetest Decline" and "Central Reservation," there's so much to love from the combination of guitars and keyboards. It sounds so calm, and yet so irresistable.
And by the time listeners think that's all that Orton can do, a jamming hip-hop beat plays in the song "Stars All Seem to Weep." Even if the song uses only two chords, Orton's voice makes the song so ethereal, as she sings, "I think about you in the moonlit night/And the stars all seem to weep/When there's so much love to give/There's never any time for sleep, yeah." Her use of short guitar samples and drifting keyboard sounds make for a chilling cosmopolitan sound like no other artist.
While artists such as Norah Jones have had trouble adjusting her quiet jazz sound, Orton truly commandeers this album with the best instrumentation I have ever heard in a female pop singer's album. It's not jazz, or pop, or rock or trip-hop--it's a sound that so genuinely belongs to Beth Orton. And she sounds so warm and eclectic that no other artist can even match her talent."
Nothing short of excellence
Andrew | AZ | 04/03/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This may not be the Beth Orton album I spin most, but it definitely is the best representation of her talents and one of the best in the female singer-songwriter genre.
The album ebbs and flows effortlessly between each track and across all types of music, often in back-to-back duos (2 electronica tracks, 2 alternative tracks, 2 acoustics, etc). "Sweetest Decline" is the song that caught my attention most, a sultry love-sick song that sounds like Carole King might have sung it first; even better is the fact that it's only the 2nd song on the album. "Pass In Time" ranks as one of those most beautifully moving songs about death (her mother's, in fact) and both versions of "Central Reservation" are great in how they complement one another. Towards the end of the album comes a quiet intensity in the one-two punch of "Blood Red River" and "Devil Song", where Beth shines in a minimalist production.
It's a shame Beth hasn't had greater success in the U.S, especially with an album like this, but it does make one giddy to feel like they have all this wonderful music to cherish by themselves."
One for the Collection
Feral Puma | Northern California, USA | 07/29/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This album is hauntingly sad in that she wrote it after her mother past away. It is truly beautiful. It's the best album by a female musician that I know of, and it'll be staying in the collection."

Colorado is one of the most beautiful states in the U.S. People have flocked here to experience life surrounded by the beauty of the Rockies and the upper Great Plains. However, some pockets of the state are known for their exclusive resort communities, giving the state a reputation as being one of the more expensive states in which to live. So it may surprise you to find that Colorado renters insurance is a real bargain. For less than the cost of a music CD, you can get about $20,000 worth of Colorado renters insurance.
Colorado renters insurance is an important expense because it covers all of your possessions if your rented home is damaged by fire, theft, vandalism or other disaster. For example, if the plumbing leaks all over your furniture, your renters policy will pay to have it replaced.
On the other hand, if someone trips and falls in your rented home, your Colorado renters insurance will cover their medical bills as well as your legal bills if that person (or his or her family) sues you over the incident. Renters liability insurance can give you true peace of mind.
Another way renters insurance helps is that it pays for temporary lodging and your meals if your rented home in Colorado become uninhabitable (such as by a fire or by storm damage).
Why You Need Colorado Renters Insurance
"But I don't need renters insurance," you may protest. "My stuff isn't worth that much." Think again. While you may not think your clothes, furniture or possessions are worth much, but how much would it cost to replace them if they were lost? You may have gotten your bed second hand, but imagine how much it would cost to try to replace it quickly if you had to.
Likewise, in the case of liability insurance, you need to have enough coverage to protect all your financial assets, including your checking and savings accounts, stocks, bonds, CDs and any other accounts. If someone sues you over a mishap in your rented home, that person can easily wipe out all the money you have.
Many people also have the mistaken impression that the landlord's insurance covers all of the renters property. The only time that is true is if your loss was legally proven to be caused by the landlord's negligence. If you don't have contents insurance, you could lose everything.
Affordable Colorado Renters Insurance
"But renters insurance is too expensive, especially in an expensive state like Colorado," many renters protest. Actually, renters insurance is quite a bargain: The average Colorado renters insurance (HO-4) policy costs $169 per year, about $14 per month. It's tough to find a music CD or a DVD for that price these days. Yet for that money you can get about $20,000 worth of coverage in Colorado, which equals what you'd get if you bought $813 of homeowners (HO-3) coverage, according to the National Association of Home Insurers. When you consider that rents in Boulder, Colorado, averaged $1,392.43, you can see that Colorado renters insurance is well worth the cost.
Typically, Colorado renters insurance will pay to repair or replace your property if it is damaged, destroyed or stolen or if your rented home is rendered unlivable by a variety of catastrophic events, such as fire, storms, water-damage or electrical surges. It also covers damage or loss caused by theft or vandalism.
If your Colorado renters insurance is for your home in one of the beautiful valleys of the Colorado River, you'd be well advised to ensure that your renters coverage is valid against covers flood damage. If there is heavier-than-average snowfall, there will be an increased chance of flooding and an increased risk of flood damage, which is not generally covered by renters policies. Increased flood coverage generally costs a little more, but it is well worth it to protect your belongings.
Likewise, if you have anything particularly valuable, for example, furs, jewelry, electronic equipment etc., you may need to purchase additional renters coverage for those items. To make sure everything you own is covered, it is best to make a list of everything you own and its estimated value. Keep copies of this list in several areas: one in your home and several copies in other locations (for example, a safety deposit box, your workplace, a trusted relative's home etc.) You can find online inventory worksheets to help you with the process.
You can also easily get several Colorado renters insurance quotes online. Simply use our Colorado quote comparison tool to get started. It only takes a few minutes to get your first quote. Take a few more minutes to get several quotes in order to be sure you are getting the best deal in Colorado.
One way to get a great deal on your Colorado renters insurance is to combine your renters policy with your car or life policy. Working with one company for all your coverage is a common way to get a discount.
Another way to get a better renters premium is to increase your deductible, the amount you pay on your own before your coverage takes effect. By raising your deductible, you will greatly reduce your premium and make your renters policy even more affordable. Of course, you need to be sure you have the money on hand to pay your deductible if you need to do so.
Getting a Colorado renters insurance quote online is a very quick and easy process. Not only can you use them to get the best rate, you can also use them to figure out the most economical place to live. For example, if you can't decide whether to live in Arapahoe or in Denver, use the online quote process to determine which has the lowest renters premium to help with your decision.
You can also use the online quote process to determine which Colorado renters insurance company best suits your needs. When you're going through the quote process, you can develop a feel for which company is easiest to work with. Are the directions easy to follow? Are terms adequately defined? Are there links or telephone numbers for more information? If you call the company, how easy is it to talk to a "real" person? These are all important measures of a company's customer service.
It is also a good idea to call Colorado's insurance office, 303-894-7499, to find out if there have been any complaints against any companies you are considering. You should also check with the local Better Business Bureau. By contacting these agencies, you can find out how the complaints were resolved. You don't want to be left in the lurch by a shady company.
You should also contact the company itself to gauge how easy it is to reach an agent or company representative. If you ever need to make a claim, you want to be assured that you can get it resolved quickly, especially as it will likely be an emotional time for you. If, during the quote process, an agent seems less than eager to answer your questions, look elsewhere.
Colorado renters insurance is a real necessity - and a real bargain. Make sure your belongings are adequately covered to provide you peace of mind.

For those of us that want to make small, personal websites without requiring the knowledge to code, iWeb is an absolutely wonderful solution. However, as you become more proficient with this application which comes pre-installed on every Mac, you'll find that it's feature set can be limiting to say the least.
Below is a selection of six different iWeb add-ons which all expand the capabilities of iWeb. Each add-on is quite different to the next (and a few have been outdated by improvements in the latest version of iWeb) but read on to see if any of these are for you.
It's happened to all of us. You're working on a document in Pages, a spreadsheet in Excel, or a masterpiece in Photoshop, and you completely forget to save. Suddenly the power cuts out, the application crashes, or someone closes your document without saving, and all of your hard work has vanished without a trace.
Just as I finished typing the paragraph above, Pages automatically saved itself. This is not a feature included with iWork, but the wonder of a new application from Tool Force Software called ForeverSave. This work of genius automatically saves and backs up all documents in applications you ask it to. This review will take a look at what this app lets you do, along with a few limitations.
Delicious is a fantastic service for organizing, sharing, and finding great bookmarks on the web. However I've never thought much of the bland appearance of the site and as a result I've never felt the urge to sign up. Until now.
After finding out about Delibar, a new Delicious client for Mac from Shiny Frog, I've realized the potential of Delicious bookmarking and Delibar feels like the perfect way to do it. Delibar lets you search, share, discover, and organize your Delicious account right from within the Menu Bar on your Mac. This review will take a look at exactly what Delibar is capable of.
It's becoming evermore common to have multiple computers in the home or office, and even more so to have them sitting next to each other. However, problems arise when you've got certain files stored on one, others on another, and when you move between them, you have to change keyboard and mouse. Wouldn't it be great if your mouse could just zoom between computers?
Teleport, a free preference-pane application from Abyssoft solves this problem by allowing you to use one mouse and keyboard with multiple computers. This how-to will guide you through the settings of Teleport and show you how to make the most out of this great application.
It is fairly well known that using mind maps to organize information and solve problems can have a huge benefit on the way we think, learn, and remember. But how many of us actually do it?
MindNode Pro, developed by MindNode, is an application for creating simple and stylish mind maps. You start with an idea or anything you can think of, and from there branch off wherever your mind leads you.

How often have you sat down at the computer with the best of intentions to complete a job, assignment, or task only to be distracted by incoming emails or instant messages etc. It happens all too often to me. Concentrate, by roobasoft, aims to solve this problem by allowing you to create 'activities' which can boost your performance by eliminating all of the unwanted distractions.
This review will cover what Concentrate has to offer, any problems, and a couple of alternative applications.
iTunes is great. It does everything you'd ever need from a media player. However, sometimes everything is just too much. Having so many features can be a little more of a drag on your computer's processing power, and makes the app cumbersome and difficult to use.
This is where Ecoute comes in… Developed by PixiApps, It's a lightweight, fast, and simple standalone application for playing your iTunes library without iTunes! I love iTunes, and I was skeptical that I could be tempted by something offering less features for a small price, but I've been pleasantly surprised. This review will offer an overview of what you can do with this excellent piece software.
At some stage you've probably all needed to convert videos between various formats. Whether it's to make that YouTube video play on your iPod, or to watch something a PC-using friend sent to you in an odd format. This task can often seem time consuming and problematic, but with the right tools is no issue.
Luckily, there is an abundance of applications out there for this very purpose. This roundup covers 7 different Mac apps for encoding video into whichever format you're after. Some are free and some are not, but all do a great job.
Many Mac users likely haven't even opened this application before, and those that have were probably scared off by all the numbers and confusing words. I certainly was. But if you understand how it works and what it can be used for, Activity Monitor can be a great way of keeping an eye on what's going on inside your computer.
This how-to will explain all the ins and outs of Activity Monitor, and how to get the most out of it. It will also give you some tips on how to speed up your computer a bit.
With it's ability to run so many different applications at the same time in Mac OS X, it can often become a task of its own just to locate the specific window you may be after. This is where Exposé comes in… Possibly one of the most productive features that OS X yields under its belt, Exposé allows you to access any window you like instantly in a user-friendly way.
Exposé can be used to efficiently flick between open windows, and to swiftly reveal the Desktop when you need to. This article will cover all of the basics of Exposé, and give a few tips and tricks. It will also offer a way in which to unlock a few extra features of Exposé which Apple decided not to include.

I moved to Maine from northern California 4 years ago. When I found Higgins Beach, I found home. It is probably my favorite place in Maine; it's dear to my heart.
I am against the proposal to ban on-street parking at Higgins Beach during the off-season. I use Higgins Beach year-round for surfing, walking, meditating, and enjoy the ability to park next to the water during the off-season. I am also an American Sign Language interpreter working here in Maine. As a Maine taxpayer, I help pay for the maintenance of public beaches such as Higgins Beach and the public roads that access it.
Please make the parking rules consistent with all other Maine beaches and allow for parking during the off season. Concerns over safety have arisen. But data shows that there is no safety issue in regards to parking. Those that use the beach are ultra cautious of other cars and pedestrians. Emergency vehicles have access. Having police enforce off-season parking rules is a waste of resources. People just want to enjoy the beach.
It is my sincere hope that the Council will vote to preserve historic public access to Higgins Beach, revise the current parking ordinance to be consistent with other Scarborough beach communities, and protect the rights of all Maine residents who use Higgins Beach during the off-season and pay for its upkeep.
Higgins Beach is good for the soul of Maine. Please don't take that away.

Today was a particularly special visit with my spot, the last of the semester before a winter that will most likely bring my tree to the ground to rot and regrow into new life.
As I began this blog with the sights, smells, and sounds, I can now express these differently than I could have during the start of the term. With the changing of seasons, the forest seems to be symbolically falling into dormancy just as my first semester at UVM draws to a close.
Touch: Walking through these woods, I felt as though I had to step more carefully than before. The frozen ground and glass-like leaves cracked beneath my feet, giving each footprint a more impactful press than the spring would have allowed. My tree has less dimension to the hand than it did when I first met it; now, the bark is gone, leaving the bare, smooth core, naked in the cold.
Sound: The air is still, with a momentary break in the quiet by the call of a common merganser duck.
Smell: Life is gone from the smell; no longer do the woods smell woody, rather, the air just smells and feels cold.
Sight: The bright, golden hue of my spot is gone for the season, with a drastically visible color change. The Earth's floor is now brown and white, the trees are more grey and stark against the colorless sky. There was something eery and almost sad about my visit today. Maybe it was the changing of times, the changing of colors, or the knowledge that an old friend of mine will no longer be standing when I return to visit.
Today, I said goodbye to my tree. As Dr. Kimmerer taught the importance of, I spent this venture listening to the forest, talking to it, and waiting for an answer. Because of this, I learned more about my tree than I had known before. I looked up once more, and remembered that it was still standing only because it was being held up within the fork of another tree adjacent to it. This time, I went to that tree and thanked it, for slowing the fall of the tree that has shaded me since the start of my visits. I sat below my tree, listening to the forest around me, breathing the air given to me by the trees all around, and I felt guilty. From guilt, I felt determination. From determination, I felt assurance. I am in the right major, one in which I will be saving a future for young individuals like myself to have trees to get to know, to be inspired by, and to make positive changes to save our world.

Unfortunately only two of us from DCE could make it. Here's to Nikhil, Vanky, Anoop, Sumat and many others who cleared the written and really deserved to be selected. Also a special mention to Uday and Utkarsh who, with their Networking knowledge and motivation really deserved this, and were unlucky in the written test.

Quick Take: Melissa & Joey, "A House Divided"
What happens when neighbors cross the line?
Review: Melissa & Joey, "A House Divided"
(S0128) So, you have neighbors, and you want to be nice to them, but do you really want to have a relationship with them? That's the question posed on this episode of Melissa & Joey.
Joe is going crazy with the neighbor's squawking bird. He has asked Mel to go over and speak to him but she refuses, saying the only communication she wants to have with the neighbors are friendly hand gestures. She feels that once you start talking to them you open Pandora's Box. She can be right to a certain extent, but, she's also wrong. Joe thinks she's crazy and tells her that there is nothing wrong with talking to the neighbors. She's not buying it. Mel reminds me of Ricky Ricardo's character from the episode of I Love Lucy when he adamantly tells Lucy not to get too chummy with the neighbors too quickly when they moved from the city to Connecticut.
The following morning the bird begins to squawk again and Joe ignores Mel's requests and goes over to visit the neighbor, Arnie. Arnie is being play by the familiar face of Cliff from Cheers, John Ratzenberger. Joe comments about the messy yard and learns that all of the items over there are actually Mel's. They were the items that were in her basement before Joe moved in. Who just deals with people's stuff in their yard like that? Here's Mel doing her best not to have any sort of connection with Arnie and yet she is using his yard as a storage area. Questions about the property line arise and Joe takes is upon himself to call a land surveyor to determine where the property line is. As Mel is relishing in the return of her three margarita makers the land surveyor comes in to report his findings. It turns out that Arnie's property line actually ends inside of Mel's home. Mel gets upset with Joe for opening up a can of worms. The surveyor tells her that in six week she can apply to have the land turned over to her since she has been using it as her known. Joe tells her that she will have to learn to be nice to Arnie so that he won't contest her request. That's a hard pill for her to swallow.
When Mel comes home from work the next day Arnie is there. He stopped in for a beer and ultimately ends up staying for dinner, with his python (YIKES!). While they are sitting down in the dining room he comments that he should seat in a certain seat since that part of the house is actually on his property. Turns out he hired his own surveyor. Mel ends up hiring a lawyer and Joe continues to tell her that she's handling the whole situation wrong. He's right, when it comes to dealing with neighbors sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and be nice. If you plan on living somewhere for a while there are certain things you are just going to have to get used to, but not a squawking bird. That's just way too disrupting. While Mel is talking with her attorney Arnie comes rushing over and tries to get her attention. She ignores him and Arnie ends up extinguishing a fire in the garage that Ryder started while he was working on a school project. Mel has a change of heart, she admits to not being the best neighbor and thanks him and shakes his hand. As it turns out, Joe was right, as usual, it's best to be neighborly with the neighbors. Although, I am not sure Arnie is the type of neighbor anyone would want. He's really into exotic animals. In his last shot of the episode he invites Mel and Joe over for a baby-shower for his tarantula.
Meanwhile, Ryder is working on a PSA video warning of the dangers of texting and driving for a class project. He recruits the quarterback of the football team, Miller, and Lennox, who begrudgingly agrees to do it after Joe blackmails her, to star in it. It wasn't that Lennox didn't want to help Ryder out; she just didn't want anything to do with the Miller because he's a jock. Once they get to working on it though, Lennox and Miller can't stop flirting with one another and Ryder ends up firing Miller because he wants to change the concept of his video. That was bound to happen. Ryder ends up hiring Joe to be in the video. Ultimately he gets an A on the project and a weekly meeting with the school counselor since it was a bit too graphic and morbid. He definitely succeeds in getting his point across.

As soon as I finished renovating our dresser, I knew I wanted to try out some more renovation projects. So when we were on our way to the movies this past weekend, we came across a thrift store and I asked J to stop. I thought he was only humoring me, which I'm sure he was at first, but I think J and I found a new hobby.
As I perused the vintage frames and furniture, he kept pulling me over to show me some cool antique gadgets he'd found. Usually he's not much of a shopper, but when you have random oddities, it definitely keeps him interested. We had totally different ideas of what was purchase worthy, but it was fun none the less.
I was especially excited about this trip because J is really hard to shop for and now I know where to go for future fun purchases. Although, I'm still not exactly sure what his taste is. He was fascinated with an old fire extinguisher, record player, fan and brewery glasses. I'm not sure I would ever think to pick those out, but at least I know where to go and I have a new shopping buddy....at least for thrift stores.
We only left with one item, an old mirror with a beautiful ornate frame.
We're planning to transform it a bit this week. They had so many pretty frames and I was hoping to get a few for a collage wall. Since it was our first time looking through a thrift store we decided to only get one. We're hoping to check out a few others to see how the prices compare. The one we went to was in a nice area and some of the prices seemed a bit high. We're going to check out a few other places this month to make sure we're getting a good deal.
I found this website that lists thrift stores nationwide, you just enter your zip code and it will list all of the thrift shops in your area. There are a bunch near us that we're looking forward to checking out.
Do you and your spouse share any hobbies?

Braving the Rough Waters of Online Marketing
Five ways marketers need to go about planning and executing their campaigns.
Five ways marketers need to go about planning and executing their campaigns.
My family and I love Maine and when we go we try to stay in an out-of-the-way part of the state on the water. One thing we always bring with us is our little 8-foot Walker
Bay rowboat, mainly so I can explore the coastline and take the kids out for mini sea excursions.
Historically I've been the one doing the rowing due to the fact that I've been doing it all my life and it's become practically second nature to me. Having picked it up at a very young age, I'm long past the point of having to think about what I'm doing. I just jump in, grab the oars, and go.
This year, however, my wife Claire decided that she wanted to learn how to row. I gave her a few tips, but the fact is that just like riding a bike, rowing is one of those things that you just have to get out and do.
But as I watched her head off to sea – haltingly dipping one oar into the water, then the other, often wildly swinging off course and then correcting with a quick dip in the opposite direction until she started to get the rhythm down – it occurred to me how much her initial halting pulls at the oars reminded me of how many small and mid-sized organizations approach online marketing. Try one thing. See what happens. Try something else. Check your progress toward your goal. Try to keep moving forward.
But as the days passed and the ripples of her wavering wake through the cover got straighter and more sure and she moved from short excursions to hours-long trips into the deeper waters, the linkage between rowing and online marketing became stronger and clearer to me. It's a perfect metaphor, and one that, when examined, can teach us all a lot about how we need to go about planning and executing our campaigns.

Not, it has to be said, another "for F sake" worth. But another "oh, Jesus more?" worth.
Seriously affecting my return to running. That's been over a week now that we have had snow covering the place.
To be honest I don't mind it too much when it is just that - "snow". At least you can get out running in that. It's when it melts a bit then freezes over that the problems start.
For a few days I tried to get over this by going up the back of our bit into the hills. Now, that was good fun. Especially on Tuesday when I tried to go round the perimeter road of the new wind farm. In some cases I was running/walking/crawling through drifts that were about three foot deep!
Elsewhere on planet "holiday" I've just been getting into a nice groove consisting of jazz, coffee, cake, chocolate and strange flights of fancy....going wherever my CD collection takes me.
For example. Yesterday was the Godfather of British jazz's birthday. The truly mighty Stan Tracey was 83!
To celebrate I started off by playing one of the CDs I got for Christmas "Senior Moment". Recorded earlier in 2009 when Stan was a sprightly 82 year old this has more verve than a lot of albums by pianists a third of his age. As well as some new compositions ("The Grandad Suite") he re-visits some of his older numbers including "Afro Charlie Meets The White Rabbit" from Alice In Jazzland (a sort of follow up to the more successful "Under Milk Wood").
Anyway. Got into a bit of a "Stan moment" and then listened to his tribute to Duke Ellington "We Still Love You Madly". This I realised had a young(ish) Guy Barker on trumpet.
So this led to Guy's album "The Amadeus Project" getting a wee dust down. This too is a great piece. Or to be more accurate it's two pieces. The first of these pieces "DzF" is a piece of "music noir" complete with narration that tells the story of Bobby a young trumpet player who gets involved with all manor of hoodlums, gangsters and "lady's of the night". Very atmospheric and very evocative of 40's films.
And so it went on... the "narration" part of the suite is something that either works - or it dosen't (in this case it does). And this led me to another album I've listened to a few times where narration works - Alan Barnes "The Sherlock Holmes Suite" - 15 pieces all based on Holmes characters or stories and interspersed with narration. Love to see/hear this live.
With the Guy Barker album the narration is part of each track, but with the Alan Barnes one the narration is contained on separate tracks on the CD - so I've ripped the CDs but only ever load the music to my MP3 player. I might rectify that I think I'm missing something.
