Vantage Point: the changing healthcare world
I've heard people say that the questions in this business never change; only the answers change. I might have bought this as a point of view a few years ago because as the 21st century arrived, the healthcare world was changing slowly. Markets moved, new competitors entered, answers to age-old questions evolved, but the questions themselves remained much the same.
Questions like: What unmet needs exist and are they worth pursuing? What are the most compelling messages for physicians? How should we develop the market? How will competitors affect our share?
I just can't see how anyone in this industry can still believe that the questions aren't changing. Today's questions focus on very different business challenges.
Treatment paradigms and decision-making power in healthcare will continue to shift. Quality and success are measured not just by clinical benefits but by economic efficiency. The marketplace grows more crowded and options are available today that were mere imagination a decade ago. Traditional pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, surgical solutions and therapy often compete head to head.
We must ask new and sometimes uncomfortable questions of audiences that still feel foreign to our industry: How does the treatment decision process differ? How can studies be designed to meet FDA, prescriber and consumer needs? What must we learn about consumers to segment them properly? How can healthcare solutions be effectively compared when they may involve very dissimilar competitors?
While we don't know the scope, we're all aware that some type of healthcare reform is coming. And the questions—not just the answers—will change again.Debbie Kenworthy is senior manager, business analytics at Johnson & Johnson

Fable 3 (X360) Review
So it is time once again to revisit the land of
Albion... This time the storybook is opened to reveal a tale from a dark time
in the land's history, the on-going industrial revolution providing a suitably
grimy backdrop for a tale of tyranny... and chickens. It turns out it's time
for a change at the top and in this game the player has the not so enviable
task of trying to usurp the king and bring about the changes that are so
desperately needed. This being a Fable game though it's not so simple and
there's plenty of opportunity for the character to succumb to the same
corruption of power as the predecessor. @ GamingHeaven

The Kaministya River which means Stony River in English is a gem. Set in a beautiful mountain range it has great views that look somewhat like the upper Kanektok River in Alaska. It runs large to medium sized with some small rapids thrown in. It has lots of gravel bars to camp on. It has crystal clear water teeming with lots and lots of nice large Rainbows in the 18 to 24 inch range. We've caught them up to 28 inches here, so far.

New York: Michael Jackson`s eldest son Prince is reportedly keen to leave the family mansion and set-up a home for himself.
According to some family members, Prince, 16, has been keeping late hours and ignoring the requests of his grandmother and guardian, Katherine, reported New York Post.
The youngster has a monthly allowance of USD 66,000.
"He`s a renegade kid. No holds barred. He`s up and out at all times of the night, and I`m concerned, and I think everyone around the situation has to be worried what could happen to this kid," Post said quoting a family source.
Prince often exits the mansion without security and is regularly spotted by paparazzi with girlfriend and schoolmate Remi Alfalah, 17, a princess from a royal Kuwaiti family, the source claimed.
Prince and siblings Paris and Blanket are heirs to Michael Jackson`s fortune, estimated at more than USD 1 billion.
Prince is reportedly also keen to marry his girlfriend Remi just to get away from his relatives. The two first met two years ago at the private Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California.
"He says he has his own money and he can take care of himself. Someone needs to act fast before this thing becomes more of a nightmare," the family source added.
Jackson went out of his way to keep his children out of media glare even making them wear a mask. But, media focus has increased since his death in 2009.
His daughter Paris, 15, is recovering after a suicide attempt in June this year. The children have also been at the centre of a fight between Jackson`s siblings and his estate over the singer`s will, which leaves everything to his kids.

Rocket Fuel. Apologies for the mirrored photo. I didn't realise the webcam settings on my laptop were still set to be mirrored.
Anyway, I noticed this at the supermarket last night and figured it would be good for coffee first thing this morning, since I was going to be at uni at 7am. I remembered dad had gotten one similar to this at some stage and had said it was alright. So I got one.
It is meant to be self heating, and I know that dad's had heated itself. Mine didn't heat at all, the only warmth was what was generated by holding it and shaking it. Rhi tried one as well and hers failed to heat itself as well.
I realised after I opened it that there is also no list of ingredients. So I have no idea what was in it except that it is meant to have coffee and guarana. Thats all I know. There is no nutritional information either, I'm surprised they are allowed to sell it.
So the point of this is, don't try it, it's bad.

What is the ruling on riding a motorcycle as ones main medium of transport? I understand it is considerably more dangerous than driving, however does this make it unislamic?
Praise be to Allah.
Motorcycles, like any other means of transportation, are permissible in principle, so long as there is nothing involved that would dictate disallowing them.
For more information, please see the answer to question no. 172612
With regard to the dangers involved, this is a relative matter that varies from one situation or individual to another. A motorcycle may be ridden by one who does not handle it well, or who uses it as a means of showing off, such as riding it up to high places or doing stunts in the streets, and other things that happen nowadays, the consequences of which may be serious. There is no doubt that it is haraam to do such things.
Or it may be ridden by one who handles it well, in which case it is like any other means of transportation.
And Allah knows best.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
Remember writing? Not typing, my friends, but writing. Taking a ballpoint pen to paper, placing your fingers just so, and fluidly flicking your wrist in a universal choreographed dance number which results in legible words that other people besides you can read and interpret? Yeah, what happened to that?
I didn't get a "personal computer" until my sophomore year of high school. Fun fact: my Spanish teacher, Mr. Schaffer got so tired of reading 10-page papers written entirely in cursive (do people still say cursive?) that he scrapped together some Spanish teacher salary scratch and bought me a Gateway desktop with all the fixings. It was rad.
But prior to 1995 I had perfected a pretty beautiful and completely unique "hand." My mom was/is big on proper handwriting technique and despite teaching me how to type when I was in third grade, she never thought anything of the fact that I was the only teenager still doing homework in longhand on a legal pad.
All that changed, of course, when I got my desktop, which was subsequently schlepped from Los Angeles to New York where I spent many a virgin night playing Freecell freshman year. That's when it happened. When I went from being one of those nerds who regularly got A's in the handwriting column of my report card to someone who could barely sign her name without thinking hard.
The devolution was slow and creeping, of course. You forget how to do a lower case "b" and then "q"-always my hardest -- and then it's like why bother just write something sort of resembling words and people's eye muscle memory should kick in.
This the flowing script of the woman who raised me, the same someone who still thinks you have to hold the iPhone to your mouth to talk and then to your ear to hear:
And here's me:
I've got a good friend who's made it her goal to send a hand written "thank you" note once a week. Because there should be at least one thing you're thankful enough to bust out a pen for every 168 hours. I considered taking on a similar challenge before then considering how exponentially bad my writing has gotten.
I tried to fill out a fax cover sheet the other day and it was like my hands were made of jelly. I actually remember thinking, "I hope whoever gets this doesn't judge me." Maybe they'll think the fax machine took on a life of its own. I almost spelled my name wrong, people.
When Mandy wrote about her "morning pages" exercise a while back my mind screamed, "Noooooooo" before I could even think about it. What the heck is wrong with me? Is it really that hard to get back into the swing of things long hand style or should I just let the robot within take over? I like the idea of getting my cursive game up again but does anyone really care?

We are all keen to help our friends and loved ones have the happiest of birthdays, but this can come at a cost - especially when it comes to milestone years. Research from American Express has revealed that Brits spend an average of £857 per year on celebrating others' birthdays, with the figure rising by nearly 50% for milestones.
Since today marks the most popular day to be born over the last two decades (according to data from the ONS), there's every chance you have recently needed to shop for a birthday present and/or have a birthday party coming up. American Express' survey results show that people will on average spend £36.61 on a gift, while also splurging £41.33 on the party itself.
This can quickly add up; as people have on average 11 close friends or family members whose birthday they celebrate per year, the annual total comes to £857. And this amount is only going up, with 18% of present buyers stating they are planning to spend an average of £117 more on gifts over the next 12 months. The main reason for nearly a third of respondents (32%) to do so is because they want to 'treat their friends and family'.
The survey further revealed that people are happy to splash out more on milestone birthdays (such as 18, 21 and 50), with the average cost increasing by nearly 50%. This translates to a typical spend of £59.01 on milestone gifts, and £57.13 on the celebration itself, which would result in a total of £1,278 if all your family members and close friends were to have milestones in a single year.
This may seem like an intimidating amount, but there are things you can do to prepare your bank account for future birthday-drains. One of the simplest ways to pre-empt birthday spending is by agreeing on a budget beforehand. You may even be able to agree with some people to save up until their next milestone birthday, for instance in a designated long-term savings account, so you can get them the big present of their dreams in a few years' time, instead of a small present every year.
If you're one of the many people for whom birthdays seem to creep up unexpectedly, thereby making it hard to plan or save in advance, a 0% purchase credit card may be the solution for you, as it would allow you to spread out the payment of last-minute presents after the fact. If you already have a credit card, check whether it has cashback or reward points; you may already have enough to get a birthday present simply from these benefits.
Not sure what to get? Local, out-of-the-way shops can be the perfect places to find presents that are sure to be unique, and you can feel good about helping an independent business owner in the process. If even these don't inspire you, consider giving your loved one an experience. Allowing them to do something they've never done before is a sure-fire way to ensure that they will remember your present for a long time to come – and if you buy them two tickets/passes, you may even get to come along.

How to look hot in your online dating photos
An image may tell a thousand words, but when it comes to online dating sites, we're all a little skittish about putting our pic on the web for everyone (including our exes) to see.
However, displaying a photo has been shown to dramatically increase the number of clicks and responses to one's online dating profile; not too surprising a fact when you consider the vast number of people who'd rather cut off their left pinky than suffer through a completely blind date.
So how does one go about putting her best foot forward photographically?
Having shot some of the world's most beautiful women for magazines such as Maxim, FHM and Cosmo, photographer Robert Caldarone knows a thing or two about making women looking hot. Below are his tips for taking photographs that sizzle.
Makeup & clothes
Keep it simple. Your online dating picture should look like you at your everyday best, so it's not essential to slather on a ton of makeup if you don't typically wear any. Loose powder, however, is mandatory to eliminate skin glare from the camera flash. "Use a neutral base translucent powder over any other makeup. Wherever the skin stretches tight tends to reflect more shine, so be sure to put extra powder on those areas, specifically the forehead, nose and chin," says Caldarone.
Clothes may make the woman, but wearing something that is overtly sexual could give potential suitors the wrong first impression. (In other words, don't write a photographic check you're not prepared to cash on the first couple dates. See some sleazy photo examples below on the right.) Instead, pick an outfit that you feel fun and flirtatious in -- but that is also comfortable and flattering.
Body language
While every woman has body issues, there are a few tricks to make the most of what you've got. A more petite woman, for example, will want to be photographed at a lower camera angle in order to elongate the body. "Ask whomever is taking the photo to sit down on a chair while you are standing up," suggests Caldarone.
Likewise, "If a woman feels that she's a little heavy between her hips and shoulders, what she can do is put her feet in a 'L' stance," he advises. "Meaning, one foot is facing the camera and the other is turned at an 45 degree angle. Then have her twist her body towards the camera, slightly raising the heel on the front foot. Keeping the feet apart makes the legs look slimmer and twisting the torso has the same effect." Here are some flattering little tricks -- like the celebrities use! -- that you can use to look your best in photos.
And for the happy versus sultry question: Should you smile or pout? Caldarone's consensus is that a warm smile is inviting if it's not fake. "You can always tell if someone's faking it by the person's eyes. If someone is really smiling and happy his or her eyes will be lit up. The eyes and mouth should match."
If you are on Team Sultry, take note: When attempting a come-hither look, it's best to keep the lips relaxed and the mouth slightly open and not clench either your teeth or lips tight.
Where to shoot?
Your picture's background sends a subliminal message about your personality and lifestyle, whether you realize it or not. So what's your backdrop saying about you?
"When I shoot portraits, a lot of the time I like to do them in the subject's own environment because it adds to the details of who that person is. If I'm shooting a painter and his studio is messy and chaotic, it says something differently about him than an artist in a very organized, austere work place." (See some examples of how backgrounds and props can tell a story or intrigue the viewer at the top of the page on the right.)
And be sure not to over-light yourself: Caldarone suggests avoiding harsh midday light if outdoors and fluorescent lights indoors, since no one looks good when every facial pore is highlighted and shadowed dramatically.
Project a little attitude
If you think the only ingredients to a great photo are soft lighting and an expertly applied fake tan, think again. "There should be a little fire in you," says Caldarone. "Confidence is important -- you can't look hot if you don't believe you are."
So put on on a few favorite tunes and a taking a few practice poses in front of mirror to conquer any nerves -- then shoot away until you get the perfect photo: the one that you think shows your best self!

Need a CCTV installer on Anglesey?
Domestic CCTV (closed circuit TV) is a useful addition to improving home security. However it should only be considered after other basic home security measures such as secure door and windows locks are implemented
You have lots of choice when it comes to what type of system to go for. A basic "no frills" home CCTV system is great for general monitoring of your home. This type of system would normally include up to 4 cameras mounted on the outside of the property. Each camera is connected via a single cable back to a Network Video Recorded (NVR) which records and stores the images. The NVR is then connected to your home router and a connection made to your PC or TV. This then allows you to watch the CCTV recording from a convenient location. In addition some systems also allow you to watch the video footage from a mobile phone. However there are security implications if you want to do this.
Please note that while these basic systems offer a general monitoring capability the quality of lens used can mean that the information collected cannot always be used in courts. In these cases you should consider a commercial CCTV system.
Is domestic CCTV legal?
Yes, it is perfectly legal as long as due care is taken. Most people who choose to install CCTV at home do so primarily to deter would-be intruders from trespassing onto or breaking into their homes, and this is completely legitimate. The 1998 Data Protection Act governs the installation and use of CCTV but this only applies to businesses and organisations and not domestic property.
Basic CCTV images of person trying to break into house.
However just because residential CCTV is legal does not mean it is not regulated and care must be taken to ensure that the cameras are not directly pointed at another person's property or public access areas such as roads or pavements outside your property boundary.
For example – ask yourself:
- Do I really need a camera to address my security concerns?
- Would extra lighting or sensor lighting be as effective?
- Is there an alternative to a camera?
- Is there anyone who could advise me about alternatives?
- What is the most privacy friendly way to set it up?
- Can I avoid intruding into my neighbours' property?
You should remember that your use of a CCTV system may be appropriate but publicly uploading or streaming footage of individuals will require further justification and in most cases will not be justifiable. Audio recording is particularly privacy intrusive and in the vast majority of cases where CCTV is being used on domestic properties it should be disabled.
How can Anglesey Computer Solutions help with domestic CCTV?
We have experience of installing domestic CCTV systems and can provide advice and guidance to ensure you have a system which suits your needs and complies with regulations including:-
- Putting up clear signs to say that CCTV is in operation;
- Only using the footage for the purpose for which it has been taken;
- Only keeping footage for as long as it is needed;
- Not releasing footage to third parties;
- Keeping the footage safe.
It is not just daytime prowlers you need to keep an eye on!

CBR TV @ SDCC 2013: Scott Snyder Dives into Batman's "Zero Year," "Superman Unchained"
DC Comics' best-selling writer Scott Snyder spent some time with CBR TV during 2013's recently-concluded Comic-Con International in San Diego where he sat for a spell and talked about working with artist and DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee on "Superman Unchained," the current relationship between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight Detective and his and series artist Greg Capullo's plans for Batman as "Zero Year" rolls on.
On defining the New 52 version of Lex Luthor in the pages of "Superman Unchained": He's got a great role in it. Next issue is one of my favorite moments with Jimmy Olsen. But what he has planned is really nefarious and really surprising in some ways, because he's not really the big bad of the story, and I think that's partly why he does what he does. He's kind of in an interesting role, almost being uncomfortably paired with Superman. I'm really excited [about] where it's going to go with him because he's a blast to write. I adore him.
I try and play in the continuity sandbox in that nothing is impossible. It does sort of dovetail off of what Grant did and what Scott Lobdell has been doing, but I really feel like if you're going to read our book, it's going to be a completely different flavor than the other books, and that's the way they should all be. It does sort of fit into continuity, but our interpretation is meant to be something that's really our own.
On the physical strength of Superman in "Unchained": It's a big part of the story. Our story, to boil it down and spoil it in some ways, is about Superman being this hero that we all look up to, and yet, being accused and challenged in a way that he hasn't been yet. I really wanted it to be the story where if I told one Superman story, this would be it and to take him apart, really rip him apart. First, I want to show you how powerful and big he is, that way where he's the greatest hero in the world; this God on Earth. Then, in issue #3, we just dismantle him and have it where he faces off against this guy Wraith. The idea behind Wraith is that in 1938, a bunch of scientists with the military when the world was on the brink of war sent a mathematical equation into space. The mathematical equation added up to more than it was supposed to. It was supposed to be, "Help us be better. Send something to us to help us stop the world from becoming this awful, war-torn place." Eleven seconds after they sent it off, this ship lands, in the year that "Superman" was first published. This guy is from a different galaxy, he's not from Krypton, but his physiology is similar to Superman's. In #3, Superman goes up against him for the first time, and Superman just gets owned. Jim was like, "How about if he bicycle kicks him across Utah?" We got a Google map satellite and you see him [get bicycle kicked across Utah.]
On the relationship between Batman and Superman: That relationship between Bruce and Clark is one of — to me — the richest, most interesting friendships and frenemy things in comics and literature. I love writing them. I wish I could have Bruce and Clark in every issue together. It is meant to echo stuff in "The Dark Knight Returns" and that — you know someday they're going to break, and they might come back together, but you look at them and you know something terrible is going to happen between them. They might come back and they might be friends, but they're two opposed and too good, both of them, to not almost kill each other at some point. That's meant to be an undercurrent, too. Because Batman has a lot to say about what happens later on.
On his involvement in future "Zero Year" tie-in issues: Well, what happened with that was — I'll be honest — I didn't want to do tie-ins at all on this one. I wanted it to just be a singular story, and then DC approached me and said, "We'd like to do them." I said, "I'm not going to do them." They said, "Well, the writers would like to." And I said, "I'm going to call the writers." I called Lemire and I called Greg Pak and they actually did want to do them. I love Dan [DiDio] for that reason — he would do them if they wanted to do them. I knew he was telling the truth, but I called them up to make sure they weren't doing it because, it's not — are you doing it because you want sales or are you doing it because you want story. They were all great. So I said, "You know what? We'll do it." I don't manipulate them in any way with those. The point is, tell a story in a seminal moment in Gotham's history and your character's history that works for what you're doing in your series. … I'm really proud of the tie-ins, the ones that I've seen so far.
On his next big challenge in comics: It's been a tough year, honestly. I've had a lot of anxiety about launching all these things at once and it was a lot to take on. I'm really proud of the stories, I really feel like it's my best work. This stuff coming in Zero Year and Gotham and what Gotham means and why we love it — because it's an antagonist that burns you down to its core and this hero who you know you can be and that's why you stay. It's the stuff that I'm proudest of that I've done in comics, "Zero Year" and "Unchained" — outside of my creator-owned work. In terms of one-upping myself the next time, I try to just do the stories that I love and I've been very lucky that they've just had so much support behind them. I could easily scale back and just do "Batman," "American Vampire" or maybe something will come along and I'll try something else. But I promise, it's not about trying to be big — it's just, "Hey, here's the story I would tell with this character." I would do it with Jim or Chris Samnee or anybody. … The thing I want to do with "Batman" after this is a little bit smaller, but I'd like to do a series of Batman cold cases and make it detective, small and in the present — really show him as the greatest detective in the world. I have some ideas for Superman, too, if he survives.

Q: What is renewable energy?
A: Renewable energy comes from naturally occurring sources, like the wind and sun, that are constantly replenished. These power sources can help us reduce global warming pollution that adds to climate change.
Q: What role does renewable energy play on our public lands?
A: Our public lands have a role to play in expanding the U.S. renewable energy supply. Along with state and private lands, public lands harbor substantial wind, solar and geothermal resources. Development is not appropriate everywhere on public lands. Degraded lands close to roads and transmission lines are preferred development locations that will result in fewer environmental impacts.
Q: What role is The Wilderness Society playing in renewable energy development?
A: For more than 75 years we have worked to defend and protect our shared public lands. Protecting our lands requires an evaluation of how much energy we need, where the best places exist for development and how we move renewable energy to the cities that use it. Our campaigns focus on limiting the impacts of energy and transmission development by:
- Guiding solar projects to low-conflict solar energy zones and away from sensitive lands and wildlife.
- Reducing pressure on our public lands by supporting innovative ways to reduce our energy demand and the public lands needed for future development.
- Ensuring a fair financial return for development on appropriate lands through revenue collected from wind and solar projects that can be used for conservation efforts and restoration to offset development.
Q: What can be done to reduce the impacts of renewable energy projects?
A: Federal land managers and project developers should avoid renewable energy development on wildlands and important wildlife habitat and prioritize areas of low value to wildlife and the public. This includes already degraded lands like brownfields, old mining sites, abandoned agricultural lands and areas near existing transmission lines and population centers.
The BLM can minimize impacts on-site by:
- Requiring project developers to complete field surveys to find and remove sensitive wildlife.
- Avoiding construction during breeding and migration periods.
- Building wildlife pathways under roads.
While these efforts are important, the intensive nature of renewable energy development means finding smart locations is still the most important step in limiting impacts.
Q: Is The Wilderness Society engaged in particular places and projects?
A: Yes. Our teams of policy and energy experts are engaged in developing federal and state guidelines that will protect America's sensitive lands, including the forests and vast western landscape. We are also engaged in local efforts to identify lands that should be off-limits as well as lands that should be prioritized for renewable energy development.

Cetacean Research Program
Please help conservation research on killer whales in the Strait of Georgia
If you see killer whales in the Strait of Georgia we would like to hear about it. Call 250-756-7253 as soon as you can with the location, number and travel direction of the whales.
The Cetacean Research Program at the Pacific Biological Station conducts scientific studies on whales, dolphins and porpoises in waters off Canada's west coast. It was established in 2001, when the Station's long-term research on killer whales was expanded to include other cetaceans considered Endangered or Threatened under the new Species at Risk Act.
There are 25 species of cetaceans recorded from the waters of British Columbia. Although some of these are commonly observed in nearshore waters, many are rarely seen, either because they are naturally uncommon in the area, they are found in offshore habitats, or they were depleted by commercial whaling. Our current field studies are focused on assessing the conservation status of killer whales, humpback whales, blue whales, fin whales, sei whales and North Pacific right whales. These studies involve a variety of field methodologies, including photo-identification using natural markings, ship-based visual surveys, and remote underwater acoustic monitoring.

A Pulaski County Quorum Court committee that reviewed proposals Tuesday for a new Broadway Bridge were told by Judge Buddy Villines the county has the capability to provide $20 million toward the project.
In a Jan. 7 letter from Villines to the quorum court, the judge said county officials should consider carefully what action they take about the bridge and not be afraid of making a substantial capital investment.
"The replacement of the Broadway Bridge is a once in a lifetime opportunity to enhance the economic well-being of this community," Villines said. "Pulaski County is in a position to provide a 25 percent match ($20 million) for the construction of a significant structure that will stand for 100 years or more."
The design state for a new bridge will take place this year with construction to be completed in 2016.
"Because our obligation will be paid over this four-year period, we can meet this obligation without jeopardizing our priority, which is maintaining the roads and bridges in the unincorporated areas."
Villines pointed out to quorum court members several ways the necessary revenues could be raised:
1) The county currently has a $9 million reserve fund. "Each year we set aside up to $1.5 to $2 million in order to match funds that may come available or to be in a position to address a good project that would not happen otherwise," Villines said. "Over the next four years, this has amounted to 6 percent of our budget. Current reserve due to this policy is $9 million."
2) Villines said continuing the current procedure of putting away money during the next four years would add at least $6 million to the reserve fund ($1.5 million per year.
3) Villines said the recently passed statewide sales tax that will be turned back to the cities and counties is estimated to bring $2.5 million to Pulaski County each year. "Counting only 2014, 2015 and 2016, it will increase our revenues by $7.5 million," Villines said.
Villines said he believes the county has the resources to provide the match because of: $9 million in the reserve account, $6 million from annual set aside revenues, $7.5 million from increased turn back revenue, and $22.5 million currently available to provide the county' s obligation to the project.
"Our number one priority is to maintain the roads and bridges in the unincorporated area," Villines said.
Villines said the county will continue to take care of the unincorporated areas and do more but there is still revenue available to help with the Broadway Bridge.
"We have two more bridge replacements scheduled in the next two years and we are increasing our overlay program this year," Villines said. "Pulaski County can make a difference."

Local mob boss, Sonny, was married to the other mob boss's daughter, Claudia. Before they married, Claudia put a hit out on Sonny, which missed and shot Sonny's son Michael. Michael was in a coma for over a year and when he came out his personality had changed dramatically. Sonny, of course, did not know that it was his own wife who had ordered the hit--even though most of Port Charles knew. Eventually, Sonny was told and it came out at Claudia's big birthday party in front of all their family and friends. Claudia in gangster fashion, took Sonny's pregnant ex-wife (and Michael's mother) hostage. In true soap style, Carly went into labor in an abandoned cabin and Claudia helped deliver the baby. Claudia who had just lost a baby herself, slipped a groove and decided that she would steal Carly's baby and make a run for it. Just as she was making her escape, Michael entered the cabin, whacking Claudia on the noggin, killing her instantly.
The grand plan of the mobster, his ex-wife and henchmen? Cover up! Of course, no one would believe that Michael, a young boy of what 17 or 18, acted in self defense since he is Sonny's son, so the big cover up begins.
Enter Dominic/Dante, an undercover NYC cop, who has infiltrated Sonny's mob family in an effort to take the mob down. Unbeknownst to the cop, he is the son of said mob boss. He finds out only AFTER he goes to arrest Sonny and Sonny shoots him. *shaking head*
Now Sonny wracked with guilt over shooting his own son, and still trying to stay one step ahead of the police in the Claudia cover up is facing his day in court. Luckily for him, Dante has told the police that he accidentally shot himself in Sonny's house. And the police believe him, yea right! LOL
Sonny is facing charges for Claudia's murder. One son, Michael, knows Sonny is taking the wrap to cover up for him. Michael even goes to the PCPD to confess to Claudia's murder, except no one believes him. Another son, Morgan, tries to get Dante to leave the police force and join the mob so that everyone will be happy. And then there is Dante, who although wants Sonny to go down for Claudia's murder, is kind of torn up about knowing that the mob boss he has hated his whole life, is his father.
Dante, of course, is called to testify. And Michael is tormented because his dad (well, we all know that AJ is really Michael's father, but whatever...) is taking the fall for him. It should be interesting to see what happens in the weeks ahead. Especially knowing that Jax has used his influence to get a high powered prosecutor to try the case.
I love General Hospital. I have always loved Sonny's tormented soul. And I really love his dimples. It is good to see that Dante inherited that trait from his father!!
Tune in to GH weekdays on ABC or SoapNet every night. Here in the east, GH is on at 3pm!!
"I am a participant in a Mom Central campaign for ABC Daytime and will receive a tote bag or other General Hospital branded items to facilitate my review."

Combine the caramel sauce, thyme sprigs and 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until hot, about 1 minute. Cover and keep warm.
Cut the baguette into 4 long, angled slices. Divide half of the cheese among 2 bread slices; sprinkle with half of the chives. Top with the apple slices and the remaining cheese, chives and 2 bread slices.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts, about 4 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if needed.
Remove the thyme from the caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with the sandwiches for dipping.

Sheep Wool Insulation can be installed in a variety of internal walls, including timber and metal stud walls. Installing wool insulation into internal walls will improve both thermal and acoustic insulation performance. The insulation is rolled between the studs to fill, or partially fill the cavity. This slows down heat transfer between rooms and reduces the cavity through which soundwaves can travel. This application is common in all building types.
Insulating internal walls improves your ability to control heat transfer within a building. Although the heat may not be lost if it passes from one room to another, it may be passing into a room that is less often used and thus the energy is wasted.
The thickness required will ideally be the same as the cavity it is filling, such as 75mm or 100mm. As the heat is not escaping the building, there is no thermal insulation regulation for this application.
Premium insulation rolls are suitable for this application. No U-value or condensation risk analysis has been performed as it is unnecessary in this application.
The images below show examples of this type of application:

The pundits have decided that America is depressed. It's "Mourning in America" according to CNN. (Not to be "blunt," but I'd really like to leave a depression in the head of the guy who came up with that headline.) The right is blaming the left, the left is blaming the right while the economy sinks further into its own sad malaise. If this were an old movie, Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney would be figuring out how to put on a show to boost neighborhood morale. In our world, however, everyone is just arguing with each other on the Internet.
The talking heads are right. After months and months of economic woe, endless wars, record unemployment, natural disasters and every single bit of information ever known or ever to be known about Casey Anthony — the country is seriously bummed out. We can't even watch a sitcom without being bombarded with drug company commercials about all of the deadly health problems we might have.
We all need cheering up. This is bound to help.

According to a statement just released by Gerard Baker, editor of Dow Jones and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, AllThingsD and Dow Jones will not sign a contract extension. In the memo, the move is billed as "a mutual separation."We first heard rumblings that Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg — the founders of AllThingsD — were trying to find investors that might be interested in buying a stake in the site late last month. To that end, Fortune is reporting that there are talks underway with Comcast and NBC Universal.The separation of AllThingsD and Dow Jones also means the end of Mossberg's tenure at The Wall Street Journal. He had been with the paper since 1970.Read Baker's full memo below. For years, Dow Jones/The Wall Street Journal has enjoyed working with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher to bring the best of tech coverage to readers around the world under the All Things Digital brand, however, after discussions, both parties have decided not to renew the agreement when the contract expires at the end of this year.Technology is the central driver of economic growth and the Journal is committed to being the indispensable global source of news and information in this critical area. We plan to embark on a major global expansion of our technology coverage, which will include adding 20 reviewers, bloggers, visual journalists, editors, and reporters covering digital. As part of this global push, we will also be expanding our conference franchise to include an international technology conference and building a new digital home for our first-class technology news and product reviews on The Wall Street Journal Digital Network. This new initiative will be an integral part of The Wall Street Journal and will be rooted in the Journal's reputation for excellent, fair, objective, reliable and stimulating journalism.As part of the mutual separation, Walt Mossberg will be leaving the Journal at the end of this year. I want to offer heartfelt thanks for more than twenty years of Personal Technology columns as well as his very fine reporting on national and international affairs in the years before he turned his attention to technology coverage."–Gerard Baker, Editor in Chief of Dow Jones and Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jP6pzc copy Adweek Adweek

How do you know what type of output your sound card supports? aplaytells the tale:
$ aplay -L front:CARD=V8237,DEV=0 VIA 8237, VIA 8237 Front speakers surround40:CARD=V8237,DEV=0 VIA 8237, VIA 8237 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=V8237,DEV=0 VIA 8237, VIA 8237 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=V8237,DEV=0 VIA 8237, VIA 8237 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=V8237,DEV=0 VIA 8237, VIA 8237 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers iec958:CARD=V8237,DEV=0 VIA 8237, VIA 8237 IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
If you ever need to specify the PCM device, this is where you find it: front, surround40, surround41, and so forth are PCM devices that should have been created automatically at startup. You could test these with aplay, like this:
$ aplay -D front test.wav Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
You may also also test playback by using the card+device numbers. This is sort of a "raw" test, since it doesn't depend on having a correct PCM devices configuration, but uses the card IDs assigned by the kernel. aplay -lshows the "raw" card+device numbers. 0,0 is the first device, 1,0 is the second device, and so on:
$ aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav
If you have a second sound device, such as a USB headset, you can configure the PCM device names either globally in /etc/asound.conf or per-user in ~.asoundrc. Something as simple as this works just fine:
pcm.v8237 {type hw card V8237} ctl.v8237 {type hw card V8237} pcm.headset {type hw card Headset} ctl.headset {type hw card Headset}
For pcm.v8237, the pcm part is required. The v8237 can be anything you want, and the same goes for the ctl lines. type hw card is required; V8237 and Headset come from the output of aplay -l. You could also use asoundconf:
$ asoundconf list Names of available sound cards: V8237 Headset
Now instead of using aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav I can use aplay -D headset test.wav. You want to use the names (V8237, Headset) in your configuration file instead of the kernel IDs (0,0- 1,0), because the kernel IDs can change, especially udev devices.

Officials are pondering its status this week as some push to have the oft forgotten body of water christened "the Sixth Great Lake."
Heart-shaped Lake St. Clair, wedged between Michigan and Canada, is a jewel in many respects. But is it great?
Officials are pondering its status this week as some push to have the oft forgotten body of water christened "the Sixth Great Lake."
FOR THE RECORD - Additional material published Oct. 16, 2002:
A caption on Page 15 of Tuesday's Main News section misidentified the body of water in the accompanying photo. It was the Detroit River. Lake St. Clair, the subject of the accompanying story, feeds into the river and can be seen from the opposite side of Belle Isle, where the photo was taken.
Located north of Detroit between Lake Huron and Lake Erie--making it a vital shipping link--Lake St. Clair is the smallest lake in the vast Great Lakes system. At 430 square miles, it's downright miniature compared with Lake Superior, which covers 31,700 square miles.
While being designated one of the Great Lakes is a long shot, it would draw much needed attention to the water's pollution problems and the threat to its rich biodiversity, fishing and recreational opportunities, supporters say. More importantly, some believe Great Lakes status means more federal funding.
"The lake is lost," said Doug Martz, chairman of the Macomb County (Mich.) Water Quality Board, who recently launched the grass-roots effort with another board member, Bill Smith. "It needs to be found."
They plan to lobby the Great Lakes Commission with "Heart of the Great Lakes" buttons and bumper stickers at their annual meeting in Cleveland Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Democratic state Rep. William Callahan of St. Clair Shores, Mich., a commission member, drafted a resolution to propose to the commission. On the Canadian side, the pride over the lake is the same.
"It's the muskie capital of the world," said Patrick Hayes, the mayor of Lakeshore, Ontario, which has 25 miles of lakefront and would welcome the designation. "Just because it's small doesn't mean it shouldn't be a Great Lake."
Others, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Great Lakes Commission say the lake already receives the same funding opportunities as its five much larger neighbors; it just could use more. Giving the great lake a capital G would only be a matter of semantics.
Some even worry that the definition of "Great Lakes" would be unnecessarily watered down. In 1998, Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont sneaked through an amendment to designate Lake Champlain in Vermont the sixth Great Lake. Michigan lawmakers promptly booted Lake Champlain from the club.
Lake St. Clair, part of the Great Lakes basin, stands to fare a bit better. The Great Lakes Commission agrees Lake St. Clair has a vital environmental and economic role in the system and that it hasn't received the level of attention it needs.
But "we're concerned that people don't get the impression we're robbing Peter to pay Paul," said Great Lakes Commissioner Mike Donahue. "We're saying it needs more money and more programs. But people pushing the designation think it will suddenly open floodgates for new money. That wouldn't be the case, but raising the profile of the lake would certainly help with overall funding."
Though it's one-seventh the size of the smallest of the five Great Lakes, Lake Ontario, Lake St. Clair provides water for 6 million people in the U.S. and Canada and is among the most heavily used portions of the Great Lakes.
Sport fishing, which generates $30 million a year in the Lake St. Clair area, accounts for 33 percent of the total Great Lakes fish catch.
The northeastern portion of Lake St. Clair is the largest delta system within the Great Lakes, important for more than 1 million migrating waterfowl and the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.
Lake St. Clair's pollution woes hit new lows in 1994 when Metro Beach in Harrison Township, about 20 miles north of Detroit, was closed 72 of 100 swimming days because of E. coli bacteria.
Carl Freeman, a professor of biological sciences at Wayne State University in Detroit, said attention is needed.
"The problems of Lake St. Clair are passed into Lake Erie," Freeman said. "It's a key to helping understand what happens in the lower chain of lakes. If naming it a `Great Lake' could put more research dollars in, it would help all the Great Lakes."
A coalition of U.S. and Canadian agencies is devising a management plan for the lake and St. Clair River. A draft is expected by next spring.
Although Congress authorized development of the plan, there is no funding to implement programs. And the problems with drinking water, exotic species, sewer overflows, wetlands and habitat loss, fishery protection and beach closings aren't going away.
"I just want us to get our equal share," Martz said. "The big problem, I know, is that it's only 27 miles across. But if you look at the heart in the body, it's the same thing. It's small, but it does a lot of work."

Bank of America has agreed to a sweeping $137 million settlement with state and federal authorities to resolve its role in an alleged bid-rigging scheme that has been under investigation since 2006.
The settlement is the end result of a February 2007 leniency agreement the Charlotte bank reached with the Department of Justice, which spared it from criminal investigation in return for its cooperation. Bank of America is paying restitution but no fines, as authorities continue to investigate other major financial institutions.
"The regulatory agencies recognized that the Bank stepped forward and reported evidence of improper bidding practices in the industry, cooperated extensively and assisted investigations by the Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other law enforcement and regulatory entities," Bank of America said in a statement. "The Bank also took appropriate personnel actions and other measures to ensure that these or similar practices would not occur again."
The settlement resolves allegations that the Charlotte bank defrauded state agencies, cities and towns, and non-profits that bought a type of investment called municipal bond derivatives. The practices occurred between 1998 and 2003.
The bank will pay $25 million to the IRS, plus another $107 million worked out with other agencies and $4.5 million to attorneys general for costs related to the investigation. Other agencies involved in the settlement were the SEC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve, the attorney's general office said.
The bank said it was the first and only bank to self-report to the Justice Department. It has taken undertaken voluntary remediation efforts and continues to cooperate with agencies investigating practices at various companies involved in the practices. Former Merrill Lynch & Co. executives now run the municipal derivatives operation at Bank of America.
Other states in the settlement include Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas.

|What came to be known as Zambezi Music
DeathGrowing up, local radio and television is all I had to enjoy. for entertainment. The local music industry was shrunk at a very fast rate in the 90's and HIV/AIDS and a very poor economy had a lot to do with that. But all good things survive. Zambians have music for all occasions, from funerals to weddings, they rarely had the resources to persue music and earn a living. This coupled with the economic decline that stretched from the 80s and straight through the 90 made it impossible for one to imagine anyone taking music as a livelihood. Some stood tall and strong though, I remember Daddy Zemus in the mid 90s, he made that difficult choice and to day his name will forever remain as that of the father to the rebirth of Zambian Music. Do you remember 'Salaula'? Yes that was the break out song of this late great. he came out at a time when people said that such music did not belong to this country and he would flop. but his impact was disruptive enough to leave an indelible mark on the music industry and a whole generation of music lovers.
|Nasty D
change the world and he returned to the darker recesses of Zed life, I am happy to inform you that he is alive and well, and those of us who have it, still enjoy his music. Started from a group called EHD (Ever High Dread) Nasty and his crew widened the path Zemus cut by drawing in the grass root fans across the board. A full story on him will come at a later stage. moving on..
The PioneersIt wasn't long before a smart and shrewd businessman put his hand in reviving our music, with the successful recording and selling of Daddy Zemus's Chibaba album, Mondo Music CEO Chisha Folotiya brought forth the Rhythm Nation Project. This compilation showed how diverse and deep Zambian talent actually was. to most of us, it was a breath of fresh air
There are several names and artists i have not spoken of or referred to, this is deliberate, I just wanted to give a glimpse of what i mean by Zambian music as i know it, and where it stands today. Every once in a while I listen to the radio and I hear a new song every day, from old timers to new comers, there is always something I have not heard. I pride myself in being capable of separating the the good from the crappy stuff upon first hearing.
|Chisha Folotiya
|Jordan Katembula
|Black Muntu
Unfortunately I don't have the energy or the time anymore to be a fully fledged critic, but I still know what good music sounds like. But from way back then to now, I have come to appreciate the efforts these artists make and I hope that you the reader found out something you didn't know.. At the very least reminded you of good memories.
Bless and be blessed

As far as charity galas go, the amfAR Inspiration Galas are always some of the most fashionable events of the season. Thursday's nights amfAR Inspiration Gala in Los Angeles brought out a slew of stylish stars including Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Hudson and her cleavage, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kristin Davis and Octavia Spencer.
But surprisingly enough, our favorite outfit of the night belonged to none of those A-listers but rather to Rumer Willis. The oldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore walked the red carpet in a long-sleeved, semi-sheer top, a prom-like black skirt and strappy platform heels. It was playful, it was tasteful, it was flattering... it just totally worked.
We're also loving Rumer's hair at the moment -- after experimenting with blonde, blue and every color in between, the 24-year-old has settled on a sweet copper ombre.
Seeing as Rumer has had her fashion difficulties, from terrifyingly low necklines to torn-at-the-butt jorts, we're more than happy to see her turn things around. After all, she's got fashion in her blood.
Check out Rumer's outfit from last night -- do you love it as much as we do?
See more of Rumer Willis' style through the years!

So tomorrow's the big day. Back to reality. Christmas, New Year, and now my maternity leave have all come to an end. It will be hard to get back into the swing of things but part of me is looking forward to it. The thing about being home all the time, or being on holidays, is that my routine falls apart. Sometimes that is absolute bliss, not having to be anywhere or do anything, but in truth my house looks less than fabulous and I don't feel in control. If I'm really honest there was even an occasion on our holiday where I had to borrow a pair of my Mum's knickers because in my super relaxed state I had left the washing pile go one day too many. Lesson learned.
As usual our holiday season budget was tight but we managed to have a great little holiday away from the city. Rather than pay through the nose to stay somewhere fancy we drove up to our family farm where the only costs are $5 a night per adult (to cover our electricity usage etc) and our food and alcohol. We had been putting aside a small amount each fortnight so the money was ready and waiting come holiday time. We used a Christmas Savings Account from Teachers Mutual Bank which allows you to set up direct debit and a regular savings plan so you don't even have to remember to put the money aside, it's all done for you. Plus you can't touch the money until November- great if you have self-control issues! So our holiday wasn't glamorous or adventurous but it was amazing. It was wonderful to have a change of scenery and not be exposed to all the reminders of work at home. Plus I relished being a total dag! We were so isolated I could wear whatever was comfortable and even if someone came to visit we could see/hear them coming as the cattle grid entrance is quite a drive from the house, leaving me time to throw on something presentable.
I like to start the new year fresh so I have been going through the freezer and pantry (I don't really have a pantry, just drawers and open shelves) and using anything and everything lying around. It's good to take stock of what I have and see what gets used most often. Speaking of stock, I have to share this amazing photo of my bone broth I had frozen in the freezer.
Check out that thick layer of fat with all that gelatinous goodness poking through! Sorry if that grosses you out but I find it fascinating, and kinda beautiful. Chilling or freezing bone broth (or stock or soup for that matter) reveals the fat content and it's up to you what you do with this information. I usually leave it as is, for flavour and nutrition, but you could scoop the fat off the top and use for other cooking (if you've used chicken bones that fat is called 'schmaltz', which you may have seen mentioned in Jewish recipes), or discard if you have something against fat. It's also great to see how much gelatin you managed to produce as this is a sign of a good bone broth from healthy animals. I think I'll do a post on bone broth and stock in the near future. Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in. I hope to post more regularly once I'm back into routine.
Anyway I'll leave you with a few more photos of the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015. I hope your holiday season was wonderful and 2015 is the best year yet! I think it will be, I can feel it in my bones. xx
