Irresponsible banking practices were the leading cause of the credit crunch in 2008. This is undisputed. Four years on, we are living in an era where customers despise banks yet cannot exist without their services.
The impending return to a soft economy will only exacerbate this crisis: profit optimization becomes ever more important to the banks, while at the same time their customers are in need of their services and advice more than ever.
There are a number of actions that banks can and need to take in order to ameliorate their reputational low while at the same time profitably growing their business.
Pricing is still an unsolved issue in the industry. Recent regulatory actions, designed to increase transparency and thus improve the industry's public image in the long run, have nevertheless triggered the exact opposite result. Brute-force price adjustments on the part of a few big banks seeking to plug the fee-revenue holes unleashed a tsunami of renewed consumer distrust. After Bank of America reneged on its planned monthly debit card fee, most other banks followed suit and quickly tossed their own fee-adjustment plans. Retail banking products are effectively stuck with compressed margins, as customer-acquisition volumes stagnate under climbing costs.
By recognizing that banks are entitled to a profit and customers should expect good value, there is a responsible way to approach pricing, which we call Fair Value Exchange, where customer needs and bank needs are in equilibrium. The result is a fair return on savings and investments, a fair interest rate on a mortgage or other loan, and fair fees for checking. Fair Value Exchange needs to be the guiding principle in product development and pricing if the industry finally wants to get out of its ongoing image crisis. It is about designing products and services the way customers want them, identifying the optimal price points to meet corporate profitability targets and customer expectations, and communicating very transparently how much is charged and why. Here is how it works in five simple steps:
1. Develop needs-oriented value propositions. In many of our interactions with banking customers, it was clear that banking for them was not about individual products, but rather solutions to everyday financial needs, e.g., making a payment, taking out a short term loan, or financing a home. The answer thus lies in developing simple, integrated solutions that help customers manage their finances and stay in control, as opposed to being forced into a back seat and told what to do by an industry that they hardly trust today.
2. Leverage modern technologies such as mobile devices. They open completely new opportunities to deliver value to your customers and improve the interaction with and among them. These new technologies can help your customers navigate through your offering, make better choices, and not fear that they are going to be cheated if they should make a wrong decision.
3. Align price levels with customers' willingness to pay. If banks are pricing products or services too high, few people will buy them and revenue and profits will be suboptimal. If they are pricing too low, customer demand will be high, but the low per-unit margin will again lead to a suboptimal performance.
The trick is to find a set of prices where banks sell just the right volume of products to the right number of customers to maximize overall revenues or profits. This is the best measure of fair price-setting and therefore the best way to bring Fair Value Exchange to market.
Keep in mind that "one size fits all" pricing is neither optimal for the banks, nor for the customers. You don't want some customers to get a free ride by using a product that was designed for another segment. So banks must establish what we call "fences" to differentiate customer segments.
The typical way of introducing fences is by easily observable socio-demographic or regional markers: You can offer a cut-rate checking account, for instance, but you might make it available only to students or seniors; deposit rates vary by region, since some local markets are more competitive than others.
More innovative approaches directly leverage differences in customer needs, attitudes and behaviors; banks design and price out different versions of products such that each of them appeals to a specific customer segment's needs. Customers then can choose freely among different product alternatives and pick the version that best fits their needs – and their willingness to pay for it (a process referred to as "customer self-selection"). From our experience, this needs-based approach generates an even better fit between customer demand and bank offering, and thus stronger financial returns, than the type of fences that are based on obvious variables and lump together customers with different needs. For example, one college student might be concerned about security, and another might be keen on earning rewards. Wouldn't it make more sense to offer an account with an identity theft prevention feature to the former, and a one with attractive rewards to the other, than to pitch a "student account" to both?
4. At the same time, simplify the product portfolio. Doing so reduces the effort for customers to find the right product for them and it makes the primary interaction simpler and more effective. You don't want to end up with seven or eight different checking accounts on offer; try to keep it closer to three.
5. Transparently communicate pricing. This may sound simple, but it removes the fear of the unknown and helps build trust. Specifically, banks should proactively communicate the way that price structures (penalties, bonuses, tiers, etc.) work, and illustrate this clearly before a customer makes a commitment. Fifty-page documents outlining the terms and conditions of a checking account are ineffective. Transparent communication of interest rates and fees needs to be much more engaging and illustrative.
Examples of successful transitions to Fair Value Exchange are plenty in other consumer-facing industries like telecom, hospitality, travel, media, and banking in other parts of the world. Banks have to get on top of this now, before continued consumer mistrust sparks a new wave of regulatory tightening and customer activism. It is time to win back customers' hearts and minds.

But as we saw in the first of this multi-part series on 4G and its impact on the enterprise, Xohm is not, strictly speaking, 4G.
Many use the term loosely to include today's WiMAX, but as analyst Phillip Redman, a research vice president at Gartner, points out, the International Telecom Union (ITU), a United Nations agency, will define 4G, as it did 3G. And it hasn't done that yet.
The ITU's standards-setting process has barely begun. However, it has set objectives. They include delivering orders of magnitude more bandwidth than current-generation WiMAX. So in that respect alone, Xohm is clearly not 4G, Redman argues.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the standards body behind the current WiMAX technology that Xohm uses, 802.16e, is developing a next-generation standard that will meet the ITU objectives.
But as we also saw last time, most observers are picking LTE (Long Term Evolution), a technology being developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), as the dominant 4G technology, at least in the developed world, at least among established mobile operators.
So Sprint, by adopting WiMAX, is definitely going against the 4G current.
Xohm is also not a fully mature 4G service in one other important respect. Although subscribers are free to use voice over Internet (VoIP) services such as Skype when connected to the networksomething 3G operators often block - there is no conventional voice component to Xohm.
It's a data-only service, and intended as such. At least for now. In fact, Sprint and Clearwire are targeting the residential fixed broadband Internet access market as much as the mobile data market.
All this being said, the fact remains that Xohm is out there nowa good two years ahead of the first expected LTE deployments. It's fast, it's mobile. And it's a serious play. The two main partners, as well as others, including Intel, have invested billions.
If nothing else, Xohm's progress should offer useful insights into how 4G might play out in the longer term, and how it could impact users.
But it's still early days. Baltimore was the only Xohm market officially up and running at the time of writing, and even it is not entirely covered.
As of late October, only 180 of an eventual 370 cell sites had been builtalthough Sprint vice president of broadband Bin Shen says the company is "expanding pretty rapidly." Eventually the network will cover 70% of the Baltimore population, or about 1.4 million.
How will the build-out proceed after Baltimore? On the big picture, Shen will say that the company hopes to have 60 to 80 million in population covered by the end of 2009, 140 million by the end of 2010 and 200 million by the end of 2012.
Chicago and D.C. have been tagged as the markets it will launch next. It already has 500 cell sites in place in Chicago, Shen says. "We'll be in position to launch very soon. It's just a matter of making sure we can deliver great performance and have sufficient coverage."

The Relationship of High School Preparation in Mathematics to the Enrollment of College Freshman in Postsecondary Developmental Mathematics Courses
Lang, Erick
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, American University
A student's mathematical preparation is important in readiness for postsecondary study and ultimately success in a global job market. Nationally, a significant number of students are leaving high school unprepared for college-level course work in mathematics. A 2008 National Center for Educational Statistics report on Community Colleges indicates that 15.5 percent of first-year postsecondary students reported taking developmental courses in mathematics during the 2003--2004 academic year (Provasnik & Planty, 2008, p. 39). Data at the state level, and specifically for community colleges, are more unsettling. For example, a Maryland Higher Education Commission (2011) study found that 61 percent of students who entered community colleges, after having completed a high school core curriculum, required remediation in mathematics. The remediation rate in mathematics for graduates who did not complete a core curriculum was 69 percent (p. 13). With national data showing the United States lagging behind other countries in mathematics achievement, and significant numbers of students annually enrolling in developmental course work, it is important to increase the number of students entering postsecondary study ready for college-level course work. Decreasing the need for remedial course work in mathematics will lead to a higher postsecondary retention rate, an increase in the number of degree confirmations, and potentially a stronger workforce. This study investigates the articulation of students from Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland to Montgomery College, the school district's feeder community college. Montgomery County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., has the 16th largest public school district in the nation. Approximately 33 percent of each year's graduating class attends Montgomery College and more than half of these enrollees require developmental course work in mathematics. Utilizing data from the Montgomery County Public Schools 2009 graduating class, this study employs logistic regression to analyze the records of 2,821 students who entered Montgomery College in the 2009-2010 academic year. The study identifies specific factors, including high school mathematics course attainment and final course grades that predict placement in developmental mathematics courses.

Madeleine L'Engle Quotes About Letting GoQuotes about: Letting Go
Plato spoke of the necessity for divine madness in the poet. It is a frightening thing to open oneself to this strange and dark side of the divine; it means letting go our sane self control, that control which gives us the illusion of safety. But safety is only an illusion, and letting it go is part of listening to the silence, and to the spirit.
I would like to travel light on this journey of life, to get rid of the encumbrances I acquire each day. . . . The most difficult thing to let go is my self, that self which, coddled and cozened, becomes smaller as it becomes heavier. I don't understand how and why I come to be only as I lose myself, but I know from long experience that this is so.

Discussion in 'R4 DS' started by PutingMulto, May 19, 2008.
Do you need an r4ds for ever ds you own to load games and play them?
umm... no.
i think
Actually I think the answer is yes....?
If you're asking "Do you need A R4 Flash card for every DS you own to load and play games?" , then the answer is yes, you do. Unless you play using download play, but that kinda sucks compared to the real thing.
But if that isn't what you're asking, you really need to phrase your questions better.
english please
I think this is the true sentence of his:
"Do you need R4DS for every DS you own to load games and play them?"
The answer is: NO, R4DS was made to replace real game karts, the thing you actually need is a game kart, R4DS is needed if you want to play in the name of piracy and cost-free

Now That's Edutainment!
Over at I Dig Worms, the latest post features Sesame Street Fever, a disco Sesame Street album sporting a cover with a vaguely disturbing image of Grover striking a John Travolta stance -- disturbing, I think, mainly because a full-bodied muppet is a little creepy. Ernie looks unsettlingly dispropotionate too... but I digress.
The highlight of the post is a full 2:41 version of the Pinball Number Count! Remember the animated pinball rolling through a plethora of obstacles to the beat of the funkiest little number ditty imaginable? Rock on. Here it is in all its glory. I remember several years ago going on a mission to find this song and eventually downloading a shortened version (just the number 4) through Napster. This was also pre-"google-takes-over-the-world", so I never did really find out anything more about it. What a difference a few years makes. Inspired by I Dig Worm's uncovering of this long-lost childhood relic, I googled "Pinball Number Count" and found this swack of cool links:
1. A Letter from Walt Kraemer
This guy composed and produced the Pinball Number Count. A couple years ago, some guy (obviously way more determined than I was) tracked this guy down and e-mailed him about the song. Here's his response, which details the hitherto secret history of the Pinball Number song. I didn't know this, but the vocals on the track are, in fact, The Pointer Sisters. Nice!
2. The Dead Hensons
A Muppets/Sesame Street cover band... bloody brilliant. Guess what: a cover of the Pinball Number song. Get it here. There's even a cover of "Can You Picture That?". This made my day. Possibly my month.
3. whytheluckystiff.net
Year-old blog entry on the Dead Hensons and the jackpot: a 26Mb avi movie of the Pinball Number Count. I am currently wallowing in nostalgia.
4. Hockey Night - For Guys' Eyes Only
A couple weeks back I downloaded this awesome track by Hockey Night, which I admittedly only downloaded because the band was called Hockey Night. About 1:30 into the song, an unexpected quotation of the Pinball Number Count. Must have been an omen.
Some related tracks:

The Lord's Table is a community outreach program designed to meet the needs of some members of the local population for nutritious meals and the opportunity for socialization. The Lord's Table is housed in a specially-constructed building adjacent to the church. Evening meals are served at no cost to fifty to one hundred people each weekday. Food is obtained through the Community Connections Food Bank, local supermarkets, grants and donations.
A volunteer staff, comprised of individuals from Saint James Episcopal Church, as well as other area churches and organizations, is responsible for preparing and serving the food. They are supervised by a part-time coordinator who is funded by the church. The program is located in a specially-constructed building adjacent to the church. The church also operates a food pantry to provide groceries to needy families and individuals. Food is obtained from the food bank and donations. The pantry is located in a small two-story building behind The Lord's Table and is open for several hours a week, staffed by church volunteers.

Holey fibers with small-core dimensions relative to the optical wavelength and large air-filling fractions offer tight mode confinement and are therefore attractive for highly nonlinear fiber applications. We investigated the role of confinement loss in these small-core fibers to optimize the design of practical highly nonlinear fibers. We found that silica holey fibers can exhibit effective nonlinearities as great as 52 W-1 km-1 and that the confinement loss can be less than the losses of standard fiber types. We show that the dispersive properties of some of the designs are suitable for a range of device applications.

qComparison across formal languages is an essential part of formal linguistics. The study of closely-related varieties has proven extremely useful in illuminating relations between cross-linguistic syntactic differences that might otherwise appear unrelated, and has helped to identify the core principles of Universal Grammar. Comparative studies have grown to the point where a reference work is needed to comprehensively explain the state of the field and makes its results more widely known, and this handbook fulfills that need. Its twenty-one commissioned chapters serve two functions: they provide a general and theoretical introduction to comparative syntax, its methodology, and its relation to other domains on linguistic inquiry; and they also provide a systematic selection of the best comparative work being done today on those language groups and families where substantial progress has been achieved. With top-notch editors and contributors from around the world, this volume will be an essential resource for scholars and students in formal linguistics.q--part nouns, something must be noted that is not entirely an aside: the Number contrast associated with noun class pairing may ... the equivalent of English infinitives in Control constructions: 30 (10) Na-kie Ij a ngal pe I-fa Im pe I-le Iman.

To say this summer has been crazy is an understatement. Like most moms I have a to-do list that is miles long. Every once in awhile it all adds up and I start loosing it. I start forgetting things; like calling my in laws when I said I would (sorry Rick), or forgetting to write a friend (sorry Steph, I just remembered so I will write you as soon as I hit post.... promise!). Or like last week, forgetting that I had a doctor's appointment only to show up late and be forced to schedule for another day. ugh!
So here I was all tense to make an appointment only to have it cancelled and then realizing that I now had two hours to waste before the next appointment I had scheduled. I debated going home but that would mean a 20 minute commute both ways. That seemed like a ridiculous notion so I turned up the music and drove north thinking, "I'll waste my time at Freddy's" If you are not from Tillamook, you probably have no idea that Fred Meyers is practically the only store in town that would resemble a mall. Yes, that is my sad dilemma when I am desperate for a shoe fix but I digress.
So I drove north only to spot a "doughnuts" sign. That is when my right foot and hands became in sync like it was fate when they turned the car into the Northport plaza parking lot. I followed obediently. "So what if I had stopped running during vacation, I could still indulge a little", I told myself. To further convince my feet to walk up the steps I decided I was there for my kiddos. They love doughnuts and would greet me with hugs and kisses and a mother of the year award once they saw I brought them their favorite goodies. This was enough to convince me so I walked in. I was not prepared for what my eyes saw;
Pan Dulce (Mexican sweet bread). Conchas, Cuernos, yoyos, churos, and variety after variety of sweet bread. I started piling my loot into a pastry tray. I then stepped up to the counter only to meet the owners. We started chatting and she encouraged me to practice Spanish. I rolled my R's and slowed my speech. we talked and all I wanted to know was how long they have been there (and frankly why didn't I know about this jewel in Tillamook county!). She told me about her lunch menu, what the locals love to get at 5am when the doughnuts are fresh, and she kindly told me about each pastry she makes including her famous Tres Leches Cake. Then I found out they had FLAN! I started to finish my purchase only I remembered oh, yeah, I should probably get those doughnuts for the kids. I do want to earn my mother of the year award after all :)

Ejection Fraction - Explanation of Normal and Abnormal Range
Ejection Fraction (EF) is one of the measurements used by physicians to assess how well a patient's heart is functioning. "Ejection" refers to the amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart's main pumping chamber during each heartbeat. "Fraction" refers to the fact that, even in a healthy heart, some blood always remains within this chamber after each heartbeat. Therefore an ejection fraction is a percentage of the blood within the chamber that is pumped out with every heartbeat. Knowing your ejection fraction can save your life - because there are numerous treatment options.
Do You Know Your Ejection Fraction?
Heart failure occurs when one of the heart's pumping chambers is not pumping well enough to meet the body's needs.
Ejection fraction is an important tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of the heart and certain types of cardiomyopathies. Cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened or stiffened.
An EF of 55 to 75 percent is considered normal. A higher than normal ejection fraction could indicate the presence of certain heart conditions, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A low ejection fraction could be a sign that the heart is weakened. A low ejection fraction may result from some kind of cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened or stiffened. Low EF is an important risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD), a condition that occurs when the heart stops abruptly (cardiac arrest). Patients with a low EF are significantly more likely to suffer sudden cardiac death within two years than patients with a normal ejection fraction.
Normal Ejection Fraction and Heart Failure
While an ejection fraction is a tool to diagnose systolic heart failure, or heart failure that occurs during the pumping phase of the heart beat, it is possible for a person to have heart failure without having an abnormal ejection fraction.
There are two phases to the heart's pumping motion. First is the filling phase (diastole) in which the heart chamber fills with blood. Second is the emptying phase (systole) in which the blood is pumped out of the chamber to the body. An ejection fraction is a measurement of the amount of blood pumped out during this second, emptying stage.
Heart failure may be caused by problems with the heart's emptying phase, its filling phase or with both phases. Therefore, a person whose heart failure is caused by a problem with the filling phase (diastolic heart failure) could have a normal ejection fraction. Diastolic heart failure is the most common form of heart failure.
An ejection fraction of less than 40 may indicate heat failure, a chronic condition in which at least one heart chamber is not pumping well enough to meet the body's needs. Heart failure leads to congestion of blood vessels and fluid backup and swelling in the lungs, legs and ankles, shortness of breath and fatigue. An ejection fraction lower than 40 percent may indicate damage to the heart muscle (e.g., from a prior heart attack). Typically, this EF level alone is not low enough to lead to heart failure.
How to Measure Your EF
An ejection fraction is most commonly measured during an echocardiogram. This painless and noninvasive test uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to get a picture of the four heart chambers and the four heart valves.
Ejection fraction can also be measured as part of other diagnostic testing, such as:
- MUGA Scan: A type of radionuclide imaging test that provides clear pictures of blood flow through the heart's chambers and blood vessels.
- Cardiac Catheterization: A test in which a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel and guided all the way to the heart in order to obtain information about the heart and the coronary arteries, increasingly, this test is being replaced by noninvasive methods to measure ejection fraction.
- Nuclear Stress Test: An exercise stress test performed before and after the administration of a radionuclide tracer. It creates images of the heart before, during and after physical exertion. Therefore, an ejection fraction may be obtained at both rest and during exercise. This approach offers a very sensitive way to identify heart pump function.
- Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A test that uses powerful magnets to visualize the heart's structure. This test has very good resolution, but the patient is required to hold their breath during the test, a feat that may be difficult for patients with heart failure Also, because this is newly adapted technology to measuring ejection fraction, it remains an expensive test that requires specialized training.
Signs and Symptoms of Low EF
Knowing the signs and symptoms of your EF is important, as low EF can be an indication of impending heart failure. Those symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath or inability to exercise
- Swelling (edema) of the feet and lower legs
- Fatigue and weakness
- Rapid, forceful, uncomfortable or obviously irregular heartbeat (palpitation)
- Abdominal discomfort such as swelling, pain or nausea
- Mental confusion
Some patients have a very low EF (less or equal to 30) and still show minimal or even no symptoms.
Other signs of heart failure or cardiomyopathy may also accompany a low ejection fraction. These include:
- An abnormal heart murmur (due to a heart valve disorder)
- A crackling sound of fluid in the lungs (rates) due to pulmonary congestion
- A rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) or other abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia)
- Hypertrophy or enlargement of the heart
- Liver malfunction
- Congestion of the lungs
- Swollen neck veins due to fluid retention with accompanying weight gain and ankle swelling

Recommended time for purchasing the antenatal care package is the 11-13. week of pregnancy
By the 10. week of pregnancy all the cardinal organs of the foetus are formed and they start their coordinated operation. The brain starts to develop with extraordinary speed: 250000 nerve cells are created in the brain of the embryo! If the baby is a boy then the testicles start to produce a hormone called testosterone. Their body from the outside changes continuously, most of the joints are formed: shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and the ankles as well as the fingers and toes. This week is a great milestone in pregnancy in many aspects: the end of the week marks the end of the embryonic phase and the foetal phase starts. This also means that inborn disorders are not likely to form after this phase.
12-13. week of pregnancy
first ultrasound screening (genetic ultrasound), assessment of laboratory results, genetic risk analysis
referrals to laboratory tests (I. laboratory)Surgical screening. Varicose veins, haemorrhoids, hernia screening
12-13. week of pregnancy
first ultrasound screening ("genetic" ultrasound),
referrals to laboratory tests (I. laboratory), thrombophilia panel, TORCH screen
Surgical screening. Varicose veins, haemorrhoids, hernia screening
The length of the rapidly growing foetus is appr. 8 cm and weighs appr. 28 gramms. It looks perfectly like a human. The midriff and lungs are still developing. Vocal cords for sound creation are developing in this stage. Genitals can theoretically be seen, but in practice they can probably be seen in ultrasound on week 16-18. The bowels have already migrated to the body of the foetus from the umbilical cord. Liver starts to produce bile, and the pancreas already produces insulin.

Dakota Johnson Reveals the Worst Part About Being Single
Leslie Mann, Dakota Johnson, and Alison Brie snap some photos together at the AOL Build event for their movie How to Be Single on Thursday (February 4) in New York City.
The ladies are in full promo mode for their movie, which is set to hit theaters on February 12, just in time for Valentine's Day.
Rebel Wilson, who also stars in the film, was spotted out and about in the Big Apple that day as well.
Dakota recently opened up about what she considers to be the worst part about being single.
"Not being cuddled all the time," she told E! Online. "Cuddling is just the greatest."
Dakota added that the benefits of being single are "getting to do whatever you want all the time and getting to do whatever you want with your brain and go places and see things and not have the pressure or opinions of someone else."
FYI: Dakota is wearing a Rosetta Getty cropped sweater and pants. Leslie is wearing an Autumn Cashmere sweater, a Philosophy top, rag & bone jeans, and Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. Alison is wearing an A.L.C. top, Ash pants, and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Microsoft has updated its Office Web Apps and rolled it out across SkyDrive and Outlook.com, after a successful trial involving more than 750,000 people.
It means users will be able to edit and format Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote documents stored in Microsoft's SkyDrive Cloud service from their mobile device.
It won't quite offer the full desktop experience, but Microsoft's update ensures its Office Web Apps are now compatible with the latest Internet Explorer 10, Windows 8 and Apple's iOS 6 platforms.
The Office Web Apps update has also been optimised for touch-screen interfaces - not too surprising considering the touch-centric Windows 8 operating system is due to arrive on 26 October. It will ensure it's now even easier for users to edit documents on their tablets and touch screen smartphones.
Other features include the ability to print Excel documents direct from a browser, new page layout tools for Word, audio and video playback support for PowerPoint Web Apps and a more refined search engine for OneNote.
Current SkyDrive users will be able to experience the update the next time they sign in.

Jo Galloway is a professional actress, singer, dancer, writer and international voice artist. Originally from sunny South Africa, Jo has made the move out to the States to continue her career.
Coming from a family of actors, Jo didn't have much choice as to what she would end up doing with her life. Starting at the age of 4 in the school nativity play (insisting on playing Mary, because she was the only character with a line), continuing all through High School and College and eventually on to the main stage of life.
Qualified as an International Tap and Modern Dance teacher through the I.S.T.D London, as well as an actress and singer, the first "step" professionally started in Musical Theatre at the age of 19, where she performed lead roles in shows such as " "Cats", "The Full Monty," and "Hairspray," among others. Jo then moved into straight theatre and comedy, performing the role of Helena in John Osborne's "Look Back In Anger," and comic farces such as "Boeing-Boeing," and "Perfect Wedding." She has also co written three original productions "Dick & I" - a parody on Richard the III, "Happily Ever Laughter," and "The Fugard Fest of Comedy," which was performed at the prestigious Athol Fugard Theatre in Cape Town. Jo was nominated twice for her stage performances - the role of Demeter in "Cats," followed by Amber in "Hairspray." Over the past few years in LA Jo has co produced and starred in the Neil LaBute play "Some Girls," for the Secret Rose Theatre in NoHo, and "The Fabulous Fables of Aesop" in Santa Monica, which she also directed.
After landing her first movie role in "Hope After Hope" for Holland Pictures, she went on to tour internationally for 2 years with various productions. All the while, Jo was choreographing for numerous Corporate events and Commercials. She has many Television Commercials and Infomercials (Hosting) to her credits, including her own online show "From Hollywood With Jo Galloway" for TMTv. She was also a series regular and co writer for a number of episodes of the television series "Sketch U Later" and part of the award-winning cast of the TV Drama "Intersextions" for South African television. Jo is currently continuing her work in Television, Film and Theatre in LA and NYC.
A well-known and experienced international Voice Artist with years of experience, Jo has managed to stop the voices in her head from driving her slightly mental by voicing characters and accents for over 50 clients. This madness, accompanied by general "hard sell" and "soft sell" radio and television commercial VO's. Schizophrenia is starting to set in, so you'll probably need to hire her before the end of the year. She is currently voicing characters for commercials, Disney and video games in the USA.
Jo is also co owner and director of the educational production company
ShoWorks Entertainment
is now also responsible for writing, creating, directing and producing in-house onscreen content for children at Hollywood Casting and Film Studios in Hollywood.
Jo is also an avid and qualified NAUI Advanced Scuba Diver. Find her on

Yes, JR?
From OEM Halogen to 8000K Xenon last night....1.5 hoursFrom OEM Halogen to 8000K Xenon last night - 8O I do not hink I can drive a car with out Xenons ever again, what a huge difference it made. I am waiting for the sun to set tonight so I can really get a good bit of night time driving under my belt.
I am interested in seeing the 6000K vs. 8000K side by side...
how do you like the purpleness of them? I think my 6000K are a bit too blue, but I am used to 4300K and that is the most "usable" light. I am sure no matter what Xenon you go with, it is an improvement over OEM halogens, but wondering how the road looks. I have heard that the 8000K are horrible in the rain, so when it rains, go out and drive, and give us a review
Quote from: "ColoradoB5" I am interested in seeing the 6000K vs. 8000K side by side...Sounds like we need an evening burger beer night GTG to make some comparisons, hopefully someone with 4300K will also be there and we can do a REAL comparison.

Determined to hire a redhead for Miranda, Sex And The City creator Darren Star almost passed over Cynthia Nixon. "For me, it was important that the hair color, body types and everything was different," he remembers. "When Cynthia Nixon came in to read for the first time, she was blond. I saw Miranda as a redhead. Thankfully, I took that leap of faith that she would look good as a redhead."
In the movie version of SATC, Miranda is undeniably more polished and modish than we last saw her. Thanks to a sassy and versatile hairstyle in an enviable scarlet shade, she finally looks the part of urban sophisticate.
The new and improved Miranda also sports a smoky eye and lots a lashes, to showcase her baby blues. Dusty rose blush and a soft pink lip round out the look.
At long last, our fave wry redhead is exercising her rights (Miranda rights, get it?) to step out of the shadows and be fabulous!

I'm a firm believer in word of mouth, that's why it's so important to have Testimonials from your Clients.
Below you'll find Feedback/Testimonials for some of my previous/current Clients.
Clare Murthy
Bren helped me to make some theme adjustments to my Wordpress site and was amazing! She was super efficient, got everything done really quickly and kept me well informed throughout. Thank you, Bren!
Jo Harris
Bren was a joy to work with, she explained things to me really simply (I am a complete novice to Blogging). She was patient, very quick, and responded to emails incredibly quickly (despite our time difference). She made the whole process very smooth, and her rates are excellent value for money. I won't hesitate to recommend her to others.
Latorsha Peake
Brenda offers great customer service! She listens and communicates well to bring your vision to life. She offers timely feedback and is very supportive. She answered the questions, that I didn't even know to ask!
Brenda walked me through the process for the website design and specifically outlined all steps needed to meet my timeline. She also made helpful suggestions to help support the website functionality. Her professionalism and expertise were comforting and because of that, I didn't have to worry about the end product.
Amanda Nel, Easy On The Tongue
Laura McDaniel, LauraMcDaniel.com
I want to thank Bren with HUGE gratitude! She helped me transfer my WordPress.com posts/information to my new WordPress.org site. If anyone has ever tried to do this, I'm certain you know that although it seems like 'simple steps' it isn't always the case. After several attempts (only to have the data not sync with the latest date posts) and even after contacting WP for assistance, Bren was able to get it done for me in no time. Her services and sincere friendliness made my day and made my site better. I will definitely be hiring her for help on the site again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services to everyone! Quick response and turn-around (even though I wasn't expecting it). Thank you again Virtual Bren!
Lisa Sicard, Inspire to Thrive
I have used Brenda Pace for designing images for my blog. She is extremely creative and understands what I needed - even more than I understood it. I've seen her work before on others blogs and her own and she is always changing up something with her creativity. She just loves to freshen things up!
There comes a time when you need some help to continue to post, share and engage online and I surely recommend Brenda for your images and design. It has been a timesaver for me and makes my work look more professional.
~Lisa Sicard, Inspire To Thrive
Angela Gibb, A Jacked Up Peach
Brenda was referred to me from a friend. I was very impressed with Brenda's quick response and patience. There was a hiccup with my hosting provider but she quickly walked me through on how to correct the issue! She was truly a gem through my entire process. I can't wait to work with her again.
~Angela Gibb, A Jacked Up Peach
Renee Fuller, The Garden Frog Boutique
Working with Brenda has been a great experience. Prior to working with Brenda, I had a not- so- good experience paying out a lot of money for a website design that looked like everyone else; and there was no changes or help once I paid my hefty fee. With Brenda, she read my emails and worked with me to recreate my website the way I wanted it to be. She was always available (within a reasonable amount of time) to answer questions and walk me through what was going on or what I needed to do.
I highly recommend Brenda if you are looking to create or re-create your website- she is great to work with and you will not be disappointed. She is really good at what she does!
Renee Fuller
The Garden Frog Boutique
Alicia Adams, Beautifully Brown Me
"It was such a pleasure to work with Virtual Bren! I am a complete novice when it comes to web design. Brenda was so kind and patient, explaining the various options to me in language that I could understand. She is extremely responsive, organized, efficient, and prompt. She made creating my website a breeze. I went from being completely overwhelmed to having a website that I am proud of and that many have raved about. I highly recommend Brenda and will definitely use her again in the future!"
Alicia Adams
Owner, Beautifully Brown Me
Dana Gore, I Am My Imagination
Christopher Wallace, George & Lynch
I was a "newbie" to using computers, including email and Microsoft Excel. With the help of Brenda, she helped me learn how to use our Company email program as well as teach me some helpful shortcuts and functions of Excel. Would recommend her to other co-workers and friends.
~~Supervisor, George & Lynch
Michael Lenkiewicz, DSWA
Brenda is a witty and thoughtful person as well as a dedicated and conscientious employee. ~~Engineer, DSWA

I love Monkeys or so I thought! Heading to the Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur was at the top of my travel to – do list. Reading all about it and seeing other travellers' photos, I quickly became jealous seeing their numerous close up's of Monkeys and getting those awesome shots I've only dreamt of getting before.
A golden statue 30 ft high stands at the foot of the caves, and then you have the test of 300 or so steep steps to climb to reach the magnificent caves. Dark and gloomy inside, bats flying above and wild monkeys stealing food from tourists, it was definitely an unusual sight to see. Add to that a few Hindu statues and a huge shine filled with people showing their respects, it's a tourist hotspot and a great place to check out if you're in Kuala Lumpur. If your lucky, you might even spot a chicken inside the caves too!
Reaching the second part of the caves, you find yourself approaching a huge cave, with a large opening at the top revealing the glorious sunshine and 35 degrees heat. On the steps leading up to the shrine, I saw a man taking a handful of bananas as an offering up to the large Hindu shrine in the middle. I think you can guess how the story goes from here. Three monkeys come out of nowhere and one of them, (the leader it looked like) grabbed the whole bunch of bananas and ran away. The man was angry, very angry and started to chase after the monkeys himself. Note to everyone reading: do not buy bananas from the street stalls outside, unless your buying them to feed the monkeys!
On the way back down that enormous staircase, we spotted an attraction called the dark caves. You can pay 35MYR to have a 45 minute guided tour around the caves, wearing headlamps and trying to spot living things inside the cave. I took one look on the boards outside, spotted one saying these caves are home to one of the rarest spiders and I literally ran away from my biggest phobia of all time. That is not something I would pay to see!
What was amazing to see were dozens of monkeys jumping all around the place. There's street food vendors outside the caves, selling delicious Indian sweets and snacks. I couldn't help but spot monkeys perched on bins eyeing up their next victims buying food. I brought a selection of Indian sweets for the journey home and was surrounded by monkeys chasing me trying to sample my treats. I had to bury the plastic bag at the bottom of my handbag so they didn't grab it. Although a lady in front of me wasn't so careful. I saw a scary looking monkey jump right onto her chest, stole her plastic bag of snacks and ran away. It looked very scary actually.
I highly recommend visiting the Batu caves if you're visiting Kuala Lumpur. Just jump on a train to KL Sentral station and change to the KTM Komuter to Batu Caves. Only 5.20MYR for a return ticket and the train stops right outside the cave attraction. It's open until 8pm and admission is free, although donations are welcome. Just be aware of those thieving Monkeys!
