The five Dehmel Lieder (1906–08) act as a bridge in Anton Webern's musical development. Along with the earliest of the fourteen George Lieder, they represent an initial exploration of a new musical style, while still maintaining substantive ties with the Romantic Lied of Webern's predecessors. Because the five Dehmel settings are the only songs written by Webern under the direct tutelage of Arnold Schoenberg, they also provide unique insight into Schoenberg's role as Webern's teacher at this moment of stylistic shift. This article focuses particularly on the fair copy and sketches of the most extended of the Dehmel songs, "Himmelfahrt," using linear analysis to show how Webern employed "vagrant" harmonies (in Schoenberg's terms) and contrapuntal delays of tonal arrivals to arrive at a state of "suspended tonality." In addition, it engages several markings in the sketches to speculate about Schoenberg's influence on these songs.
This article is part of a special, serialized feature: A Music-Theoretical Matrix: Essays in Honor of Allen Forte (Part III).

IN case the new Republicans in Congress get too cocky, Ross Perot is stirring restlessly behind them.
Already, his United We Stand America organization shows signs of gearing up toward establishing a new political party.
The UWSA is probing state laws on entering a new political party in Iowa - site of the first presidential caucuses. And the UWSA chapter there has recently been outfitted to organize the state down to the precinct level.
Last week, Mr. Perot vowed to found a new party if Congress passed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The 22,000-page agreement for cutting world trade barriers passed the House on Tuesday. The Senate votes today.
The leadership in both Republican and Democratic parties backs GATT, which Perot sees as a threat to US sovereignty.
Perot and UWSA remain a force in US politics, even though polls indicate that Perot himself no longer has strong support from independent voters.
These voters, who helped fuel the GOP wildfire on Nov. 8, were protesting ``a government that doesn't work and political hypocrisy,'' says Ron Faucheux, editor of Campaigns & Elections. Should the GOP fail to deliver its promised reforms, Mr. Faucheux predicts a massive move by independents to a third party, with ``devastation'' for the GOP.
On the other hand, the chance of a third party growing to rival the Democrats and the GOP is ``laughable,'' says Gary Nordlinger, a Democratic media consultant. ``The structural obstacles are so great.''
Mr. Nordlinger says the GOP will be fine if it tackles welfare and health care and takes steps to clean up Congress, like getting rid of $20,000-a-year elevator operators in the automatic elevators. But if the GOP majority does nothing or veers into social issues, he says, in 1996 voters will simply choose nonincumbent, major-party candidates rather than a third-party option.
``There is a third party out there,'' argues Kevin Phillips, publisher of The American Political Report. But he perceives it as more of a third ``force'' capable of producing a presidential ticket but no down-ballot candidates.
The Libertarian Party, founded in 1971, holds 130 state and local offices. But they are not a ``serious force,'' Mr. Phillips says. Libertarians win ``when the Republican died three weeks before and the Democrat is in jail.''
Libertarian spokesmen counter that, while they were steamrollered by the GOP like everyone else, their percentages generally improved and they are learning to present their message more professionally. The election also validated the notion of getting the government out of citizens' wallets and personal lives, which is generally what Libertarians espouse, they say.
The odds are good that the next presidential election will feature not just two, but three or even four significant candidates, Phillips says. Gen. Colin Powell and Jesse Jackson are names in current circulation.
Then there's Perot, the Dallas billionaire whose independent candidacy for president in 1992 galvanized voters hungry for an alternative to the two major parties. Receiving nearly 20 percent of the vote, Perot went on to found UWSA.
Perot did not actually say he would run for president on the new party's ticket. That, Mr. Phillips says, is a crucial distinction. Founding a party ``doesn't mean anything until he puts his name and his wallet up there,'' he says.
A second Perot try would be a breakthrough for an independent candidate, he adds. Such a party would likely feature a few congressional candidates as well.
Russ Verney, interim director of UWSA in Dallas, insists that no steps are being taken yet to form a new party. Perot is still hoping that Congress will not ``ramrod'' GATT through this lame-duck session, but will give the treaty full debate, make it fully amendable, and strip out ``special-interest spending'' next year, Verney says.
Meanwhile, at the national office's request, the Iowa chapter of UWSA already has a committee looking into state laws on forming a party, says state director Jim Hennager.
``You can read that any way you want,'' Mr. Hennager says, but in his estimation, ``we're gearing up for '96.''

Sam Raimi's long-awaited return to the horror genre, Drag Me to Hell, is a fun, frightening blend of terrified screams and disgusted, gut-wrench laughter that aims to recapture the genre-bending spirit of Raimi's pre-Spider-Man cult favorites like Evil Dead II. So if you're a member of the hardcore Raimi elite, rest assured that this is the film you've been waiting nearly a decade for. But despite its wild entertainment value, the film also begs a few important, if somewhat controversial, questions. At what point in a celebrated director's career do audiences simply become too forgiving? Is having a particular cinematic style or point-of-view, no matter how dynamic, sufficient to excuse a few notable shortcomings? And does it matter how something makes you scream or laugh, so much as that it made you react at all?
But before we tackle some of the bigger issues associated with Drag Me to Hell, we should say from the outset that this film is absolute, undiluted Raimi -- his love-letter to those fans who've waited patiently for a departure from the mainstream and a return to his kinetic, tongue-through-cheek brand of horror-comedy. The film is simultaneously loud, fast, brutal, hilarious, disgusting, dark and whimsical, combining legitimate scares with gruesome, almost slapstick gags to great and bloody effect. Drag Me to Hell is, without a doubt, the kind of film where, if you're pre-disposed to love it, you absolutely will.
CLICK HERE to read the full Drag Me to Hell review.
Score: 7 out of 10
Video and Presentation
The Blu-ray release of Drag Me to Hell leaves a little to be desired in terms of vibrancy and overall detail. The colors feel a bit muted here, never really popping off the screen even in some of the more painterly sequences. The level of detail, while never problematic, doesn't really add much depth to the image, and in some of the more softly lit moments, some of the smaller elements can easily bleed or fade. Aside from that, there's relatively little grain or additional noise, but the image as a whole simply feels flat.
Score: 7 out of 10
Languages and Audio
We do have to give credit to this film's kick-ass sound design, fueling jump-scare after jump-scare and offering up an amazing score by Christopher Young. The DTS-HD 5.1 track really shines, offering first-rate directional beats, volume and fidelity. The dialogue in some of the bigger, louder moments can sometimes get a bit muddled, but it's hardly ever a distraction, and all the screaming and shrieking is certain to send the cops to your house roundabout midnight. Overall, a high-quality audio transfer.
Score: 9 out of 10
Packaging and Extras
Surprisingly little here with regard to extras. The Blu-ray offers only a small selection of three-to-five minute production diaries – only a half-hour total – spotlighting a quick profile of a particular sequence or set-piece. It's interesting to see some of the effects work in the Nose Bleed sequence or the Nightmare scene, introduced by FX master Greg Nicotero, though the chapters are so short that one never really gets the full information download that they might prefer. The choreography of the Car Fight and the orchestration of the Graveyard are also well worth the five minutes it'll take you to watch them. But all in all, there's simply not enough here to offer up a substantive amount of behind-the-scenes extras.
There is a director's cut option on the disc that differs only very slightly from the theatrical edit, boosting the gore, but adding little, if anything, to the story.
Score: 5 out of 10
The Bottom Line
Raimi's return to horror is a fun, campy outing offered up on a relatively unimpressive Blu-ray release.

The Royal Festival Hall
Wednesday 2 September 2015
"We're all going to die"
"We're all going to die"
"We're all going to die"
Some days are just so life affirming. Some days you have to just stop and think "wow, this makes it all worthwhile." And some days everything coincides just so perfectly you can almost believe there is a god up there planning it all out; ok, that last part is maybe pushing it a little too far!
And this day was just one such day when everything seemed just right. I'd been reading the most perfect of books as I traveled up and down into central London (twice in one day, so quite a lot of reading), the sun was giving me the most impressive view from the small office I find myself in on a Wednesday;
I'd seen the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen as I made my way back up towards the gig to meet my concert companion, we got a table in a very packed Pizza Express just minutes before the rush started and the queue wound its way out of the door, the food seemed just that little tastier than normal, the sudden rain shower came and went while we were eating so we didn't get wet, the timing of the food was so perfect to allow us to find our way to the Royal Festival Hall, just one hundred yards away, so that by the time we had sat and taken jackets off, the support were making their way onto the stage.
And some days you are lucky enough to be part of something special, something that will live in your mind forever, like seeing Sufjan Stevens sing "We're all going to die" over and over, not a refrain of sadness or depression, but one of simple fact, of acceptance of death when it finally comes. But giving the life that was in the Royal Festival Hall tonight, death wasn't happening today, today was clearly for living and rejoicing.
Sufjan Stevens has a reputation for great live performances, and this was a gig I'd been eagerly waiting for since the day I had spent three hours hitting refresh on my work computer desperately waiting for the Southbank Centre's website to be restarted, having crashed under the weight of every Stevens fan in the country accessing it at once. And for an artist who I've struggled to find anyone else who has heard of him, there does appear to be a damn lot of us fans out there.
So maybe it was this anticipation that made the day feel so perfect, or maybe it really was just a perfect day, either way it really doesn't matter. What mattered was that I was there. And after a short and beautiful instrumental opening, Stevens playing the moving piano of ""Redford" he stepped forward and without any words spoken launched into "Death With Dignity", the opening song from "Carrie and Lowell" the album written as a way to get over the depression caused by the death of his mother. Death does appear a lot doesn't it!
"Carrie And Lowell" is a thing of pure beauty, an expression of love and forgiveness for his mother who left when he was only one year old, and for his step-father, who introduced him to music and encouraged him to explore it, and who now runs his record label. Death may feature prominently, but it is an acceptance that it happens to us all, that it is natural and not to be feared.
And while the recorded album is one of the mellowest things Stevens has ever done, as he played it out in full tonight, he allows the band to take the songs to new places, to build them to crescendo's that hold us in wonder as we watch the show before us, the mellow guitar led sound we knew from the album often being transformed into full blown electronica, a three minute piece suddenly becoming ten instead. The sound is accompanied by the lights flashing around the stunning venue, just adding to the feeling that this is something special. And yet all the time Stevens is at the centre, looking so small and vulnerable as he bears his soul to the world.
There is hardly a sound from the audience as all this transpires around us, just as there are no words from stevens throughout the main body of the set. But even so we, his congregation, sit transfixed by the whole event in front of us, myself, like so many others I am sure, simply grinning madly in a state of euphoria as the man bares his heart to us all, and in return we give him our love.
The main set ends with sixteen minutes of "Blue Bucket of Gold", another song that is transformed from its album version into a wall of sound and lights for the closing ten minutes as the band create a soundscape that we never want to end, notes lasting forever as the hall is transformed into his church, the lights shining off the lowered mirrors that suddenly look like windows; we are in his church and we are certainly here to worship.
If you dont have 16 minutes free, please please please glance at four minutes in to see the visual of this!!!!!
It's 90 minutes of pure delight, and it's clear the effect that the performance has on so many of us. It's an experience that has to be shared with others so we can believe that we actually witnessed it.
When the band re-emerge for the encore (if 30 more minutes can be an encore and not actually a second half?), it's more relaxed, Stevens finally speaks, announcing to us that "we got through it, we got through the vortex." We know what he means, it was a delight but it was emotionally wrought too, and the encore seems designed to bring us back out of the silence we had fallen into before, a chance to relax and enjoy after the sheer emotion of it all.
As we hit the final song of the night, it is a bittersweet moment. We are here, we experienced something special, but now it is almost over. At least until he comes again, hopefully not another five years this time before he graces us with his brilliance.
Thankfully that final song happens to be "Chicago", a song of hope and yet more redemption and forgiveness, "I've made mistakes, I don't mind, I don't mind" Stevens sings, and we all nod, all agreeing, we don't mind at all, not one little piece.
Some days are just perfect, and some days everything clicks into place and you realise how great life is. And sometimes a man sings to us and the words just seem right, just seem to sum up that moment. To me today was that day, and so thank you Sufjan, thank you so very very much for sharing with us this moment.
"You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go"
Of course, I did so want to see the wings, but never mind…

As Easy As Riding A Bike)
Some basic rules for journalists and broadcasters covering cycling
Posted on February 8, 2017
by aseasyasriding
While there are plenty of honourable exceptions, I think it is fair to say that presenters, journalists and broadcasters in the UK do not do a particularly good job when it comes to covering cycling as a mode of transport.
Some of this might well be down to outright malice, but a large proportion of poor journalism and broadcasting is simply down to laziness and an unwillingness, or inability, to address these issues from someone else's perspective, or even to think slightly differently.
With that in mind I've drawn up a fairly simple list of rules and advice for covering cycling in a sensible, constructive and fair way. There may be others – let me know in the comments – but I think if journalists, broadcasters and presenters are following these rules it's more than likely they will be doing a good job.
1) Do not use them/they language
By this I mean referring to people who are using a mode of transport as 'them' or 'they', and everyone else as 'us'. One example (and this from a BBC radio journalist) –

Northern Kentucky University - Salmon P. Chase College of Law
Northern Kentucky University - Salmon P. Chase College of Law
Across the river from Cincinnati, in Highland Heights, Ky., sits Northern Kentucky University – Salmon P. Chase College of Law, a school focused on practice-ready skills.
"All of legal education is moving towards experiential learning and creating practice-ready lawyers," said Dean Jeffrey Standen. "What's fun for us is that Chase has always been there. We have long featured and specialized in experiential training and producing lawyers that are practice-ready. We aren't inventing this last week. We have been doing this for generations."
Northern Kentucky University caters to the needs of locals with the lowest tuition in the region for residents: $15,782. It also has a large part-time program, with one-third of its students in it.
"Our alums are immensely successful people," Standen said. "They talk about how Chase made them ready for the practice of law."

|This movie won Oscars for Best Picture; Director (Jonathan Demme); Actor (Anthony Hopkins); Actress (Jodie Foster); and Adapted Screenplay
ĹThe Silence of the Lambsĺ (R)By Desson Howe
Washington Post Staff Writer
February 15, 1991
In "The Silence of the Lambs," Anthony Hopkins looks like a wine connoisseur as he tilts his head, extends his nostrils and delicately inhales the scent of visitor Jodie Foster. After correctly identifying her skin cream, he informs her, "Sometimes you use L'Air du Temps, but not today."
But this brilliant, demented psychiatrist is not in a restaurant or a winery. Nor is he smelling FBI agent Foster with heterosexual interest. He's in prison, behind a maximum-security plastic shield, for acts of cannibalism. To Hopkins, Foster's fragrance, wafting through breathing holes in the glass, is the bouquet of a potentially lovely meal.
This is the kind of character creepiness that Jonathan Demme's gripping cat-and-mouse thriller indulges in. A smart, restrained entertainment, it doesn't splash around in blood and hysteria. It doesn't have to. The menace exists in small places, in Hopkins's eyes, or in the threat posed by "Buffalo Bill," a serial killer so named for his signature carving up of victims.
The wave of killings is what brings Foster to Hopkins's lair. Dispatched by special agent Scott Glenn, the fledgling Fed has come to solicit the genius-monster for psychological insights. But Foster is dealing with a predatory intelligence capable of running rings around her. Her guilelessness, as Glenn tells her, is her only protection.
Normally associated with more eccentric, freewheeling fare, Demme switches gears successfully from "Something Wild" to something eerie. With trusty cameraman Tak Fujimoto, he refrains from predictable stylishness, plasmatic reds and murky shadows. Instead, he gives "Lambs" a surprisingly bright appearance, so that the horrors occur, as it were, in broad, natural daylight.
He builds the suspense in sure, strategic steps: The face-to-face meetings between Foster and Hopkins are nostril-hair close, the camera cuts rapidly between them. A scene in which Foster searches through a storage room, which has not been opened in 10 years, is expertly scaring. Demme also places the gruesome in uncomfortably strategic spots: At one point, a Buffalo Bill victim, awaiting certain death at the bottom of a well, discovers a bloodied fingernail stuck on the rocky wall. The implication is far more horrifying than the actuality.
Although the Demme-isms are scarce, there are touches only he could have come up with. A Tom Petty song -- ostensibly on the car radio of a murder quarry -- is played in its entirety, mainly because, well, Demme likes the song. At another point, Foster consults a wonderfully dorky, cross-eyed bug expert.
"You mean, this is like a clue from a real murder case?" he says. "Coo-wol!"
But Demme's primary focus is the interplay between Foster and Hopkins. As the eager beaver determined to solve this mystery and who slowly begins to take charge, Foster carries the right mixture of determination and vulnerability (which is where the significance of the title kicks in). Hopkins, meanwhile, plays his part with the kind of frosty, clipped authority only the British seem capable of pulling off.
"Best thing for him really," says this macabre sociopath when he hears about the death of a former patient. "His therapy was going nowhere."

SEOUL - Despite a severe drought this year, North Korea's fledgling markets and private farm plots should provide a buffer against a famine of the sort that devastated the totalitarian nation in the 1990s.
The 1994-1998 famine killed hundreds of thousands of people, but experts say the emergence of grassroots markets and an unofficial economy since then mean most North Koreans can grow and trade food independently of the state, decreasing the risk of widespread starvation.
The isolated country has been hit by what it describes as its worst drought in a century. While that may be an exaggeration, the United Nations has warned of a potentially sharp rise in malnutrition. "Agriculture is much less state-run and much more private than it used to be, and the farmers who work for themselves work better and with greater efficiency," said Andrei Lankov, a professor at Kookmin University in Seoul. "North Korea is highly unlikely to experience another famine even remotely similar to what happened in the late nineties".
North Korean farms are collectives in which the state takes control of crops and distribution. There was previously little incentive for farmers to produce more.
But as a result of the 1990s famine, the state has been tolerant of farmers maintaining small, privately-run plots on state farms and in their backyards. There, they grow grains and vegetables, often more efficiently than on the sprawling state collectives, which they can consume or even sell.
That means that while the country still retains a"military-first" system where food and electricity is prioritised for the powerful armed forces, the civilian population is not likely to suffer as much.
One NGO worker, citing a knowledgeable North Korean agricultural scientist, estimated that farmers there spend an average of 30 percent of their time cultivating their own plots.
It is not uncommon to see rows of corn or other crops growing in the gardens of rural homes. On some collective farms, a small portion of fields is often cordoned into a grid system of plots privately cultivated and managed by families.
North Koreans who have been mobilised to work extra hours to combat this year's drought have also redoubled efforts to farm private plots, according to the Daily NK, a Seoul-based website with market sources inside North Korea. "Today's North Korean economy is essentially disguised capitalism - low-level trade hiding in the shadows or private businesses wearing masks of state-socialism," said Sokeel Park of LiNK, an NGO which supports North Korean defectors.
The North's KCNA news agency said last week that paddies around the country, including the main rice farming regions of Hwanghae and Phyongan provinces, were drying up for lack of rain.
On Monday, KCNA said North Korea had seen some rain, but it expects drought conditions to linger.
Production in the country's main growing region is expected to be cut in half, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation said recently.
Weak rainfall this year in North Korea comes on top of last year's lacklustre rains. Parts of South Korea are also suffering this year from some of the lowest rainfall since records began.
Pyongyang has a track record of overstating the significance of natural events on its food situation, as doing so plays down the impact of its outdated and state-controlled agricultural methods while getting the attention of donors.
There are no readily available figures of crop output or food reserves in the isolated country. Food smuggled from neighbouring China will likely help close gaps in supply, and Beijing has said it is willing to offer aid to North Korea.
International aid for North Korea has decreased in recent years, in part because of its curbs on humanitarian workers and reluctance to allow monitoring of food distribution. The country is also under U.N. sanctions for pursuing a nuclear weapons programme.
In February, Pyongyang expelled the local director of Welthungerhilfe, one of the few foreign aid groups to operate in the country.
While the risks of mass starvation are much reduced, shocks to state food supply caused by drought will cause market prices to rise.
The cost of potatoes, an alternative staple to rice in times of short supply, roughly tripled over the past year at a market in the city of Hyesan, according to the Daily NK website.
But even foreign food aid on which North Korea has long relied is often distributed in unofficial markets, meaning food prices may quickly return to normal.
Poorer or isolated areas of North Korea are still vulnerable to less state supply of food, however, where drought could contribute to or exacerbate pre-existing cases of chronic malnutrition.

Max Payne 3 will be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in March 2012, according to Rockstar.
Single-player kicks off where Max Payne 2 ended, with Max starting a new life working as a private security agent for a wealthy family in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The campaign will see Max "clear his name, in a bid to, once and for all, rid himself of the demons that have tortured him for far too long."
The game will also have multi-player, which Rockstar is describing as a "compelling experience". It'll feature traditional modes, in addition to clan support and a "deep reward and leveling system."
While Max Payne 1 and 2 were made by Remedy Entertainment, part 3 is being developed by Rockstar's global development teams, using its own Advanced Game Engine.
"Max Payne 3 gave us an amazing creative opportunity to evolve one of our most iconic characters," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "We're excited to show fans a modern version of Max that pulls them back into his dark and twisted story."

The inspiration for paintings versus writing comes from the same place in the brain. For me, the stimulus is normally somewhat similar. The big difference is that words for me come from varied glimpses on the way to work.
I can see multiple images and there is no specific reasoning or place or thought, the words create themselves and the images collected are weaved throughout a series of poems.
No one would see the image or anything specific about the scene but all the elements appear either symbolically or even representational.
The big difference is that words for me come from varied glimpses on the way to work.
In painting, the images are captured often from multiple images and the atmosphere is derived from the initial image but also from intangible elements that are not necessarily seen in the initial inspiration.
While painting or writing most of the work is without realization of the final product and the image creates itself. The less I am aware of the painting or the words the better the end product as I think at that point the subconscious takes over and the creation is almost reflex.
I am working toward bringing together two aspects of creativity that together I think will greatly improve my final work.
First of all is the discipline of technique, I plan on reworking the initial image on several mediums and several sizes until I work out the final composition and the final product.
I also intend to overlay a more meticulous approach to underpainting and overpainting layers.
In the past, I have created complementary colors next to each that create the vibration and movement in oils.
I plan on adding a technique where complementary colors form from the layers beneath them and the vibration of color will be achieved by the layers of paint visually creating their color combinations.
The effect will be more intangible but it will be stronger and have more of an impact on the viewer.
The second aspect, I will bring to future paintings are words that inspire the painting or the painting that will inspire words.
My next painting is "Love Lies Bleeding is a painting of a garden the plant in the garden and there are morning glories climbing the fence and across the yard is the moon settling into the sky.
I wrote the poem first and the image became out of the words that I wrote. Love lies bleeding is the plant but it is also an image of the garden and the melancholy of late evening.
I want the viewer to feel the sadness of loss and the mysterious of the garden at night. I want the colors to be rich and vivid and the moon to be mysterious.
I will post the poem and the painting when they are complete.
I plan on combining more words and images in the near future.

The light was amazing yesterday, and there were some really exquisite ladies on parade in the yard. These are "straight from the camera" images, except for some judicious cropping.
In order, Tulipa acuminata:
Oriental poppy:
Miniature iris enjoying the sun:
The front garden. The yellow irises have bloomed, the very last of the paperwhites and other late narcissi are still around. Don't look at them too closely or you'll see how badly the clumps need to be deadheaded. Check out the brand new clump of wood hyacinths in front of the irises and the tall purple allium that is using the lavender as a backdrop.
And finally, a clump of species tulips (whose species I don't know right now) setting off a clump of wood hyacinths.
We enjoyed rains during the night. There was thunder, and the rain was fairly heavy at times, but there was no hail. Once the cold front that has been pounding Oklahoma and Kansas moved through, the gusty winds that have been plaguing us all week died down. The rain garden filled up, and if the sun comes out you will be able to watch the grass growing.
It's a beautiful spring day in the Ozarks.

As marketers we're tasked to drive more business, commonly in the form of sales or leads. When building marketing plans for our bosses or clients, the formula is simple.
From a high-level budget perspective, there are two main ways to accomplish this:
- Increase your budget
- Lower cost per action, your CPA
Mind-blowing analysis, I know. Important nonetheless. If budgets are fixed it means we have only one option: be more cost-effective.
Quick Win: Allocation
One of the simplest to improve performance is to allocate budget differently. Rank your campaigns by CPA performing and develop a checklist to make sure they're running at top performance.
Here are two simple wins:
- Shift more budget to campaigns with lowest CPAs, Make sure there is no budget pause here.
- Check for editorial issues and draft status in all campaigns, but especially high performers!
Cost Per Action Is Driven by CPCs and Conversion Rate
Since we already know you can't increase your budget – let's take a closer look at CPA. What can we do to affect your CPA?
But based on another concept, called Break-Even CPC, we know what drives CPA: cost per click (CPC) and conversion rate (CVR).
To drive more business, we need to lower our CPA, so we need to focus on driving down our CPCs or improving conversion rate. Now, we can refine our high-level budget strategy a bit more:
- Increase budget
- Lower cost per action, your CPA
- Allocate more budget to best performing campaigns
- Increase your conversion rate (provided your CPC increases at a slower rate than CVR)
- Decrease your cost per click (provided your CVR increases at a slower rate than CPC)
Improve CPC And CVR to Get a Lower CPA
Now the real work begins. You've already identified your top-performing and worst-performing campaigns – now it's time to squeeze them for every dollar.
Ways to eliminate waste and fix a low CVR:
- Exclude poor performing keywords, placements and audiences:
- In search pull a search term report and add negatives keywords
- For RLSAs exclude audiences with -100 percent incremental bid
- Check mobile performance, if poor consider negative incremental bid
- Get serious about test landing pages:
- Great tools like Optimizely, Unbounce, and others make testing easier than ever
- Improve targeting. Pull multiple dimensions reports by geography, device, search network, time of day, day of week, and find segments that are not working. Get less with lower bids, get more with increase bids, or consider excluding them.
Ways to lower a high CPC:
- Lower your bids to your break-even CPC, especially for top 10 percent of keywords or placements
- Improve your click-through rate with better ad copy for all ad groups with break-even CPCs
- Use all ad extensions possible
- Pause poor-performing ads, test new ones using tools like Boost Media or Adalysis
This is not a comprehensive list, but gives you an idea of how to approach driving more business.
Eventually, fulfillment and channel cross-over becomes an issue, but those are more advanced discussions for another time.
Bringing It All Together
In the end, maximizing your budget comes down to the things you can control – and that's your cost-per-click and your conversion rate. Put those factors front and center and you can be confident that you're squeezing every penny from your budget.

What's A Girl Got To Do To Get An HMO To Help Her?
What lengths do you have to go to to get good coverage from an HMO? Being sick obviously won't do it. So what about starving yourself? Well, not if your HMO is Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Patrick M. wrote in to talk about his recent experience trying to get his wife a blood test. "This is a story of poor health care and not the typical they-are-refusing-my-coverage stuff. Just poor customer service."
And it is that. Nothing like fasting for 12 hours only to find out that your HMO never bothered to make you that appointment. His wife's ordeal, after the jump.
So I know this might be some uncharted territory for you guys, however, I thought I'd give it a shot.
This is a story of poor health care and not the typical they-are-refusing-my-coverage stuff. Just poor customer service.
My wife and I have blue cross blue shield – so in the realm of health care, it's supposed to be "good" (if course, this is all relative). My wife had to make a blood appointment for some blood test, she had to go through the ever large company Quest Diagnostics. Since Quest is a this national corporation that supposedly has efficiencies of scale they made her call a 1-800 number to schedule the time and location of said test. When she called the operator said there were no locations in our area. Thankfully our doctor had supplied two locations. Needless to say, somehow the operator then found said locations and made an appointment. My wife then asked if there was anything else she needed to know. The operator acted as if this was a crazy questioned. My wife asked if she needed to fast before the appointment. "oh, yea, yea, you need to, 'um, fast for 12 hours before your appointment." After fasting fro twelve hours my wife showed up to her appointment – or what she thought was her appointment. The local quest office did not have her down for an appointment and made her wait for over an hour till they could accommodate her.
So to sum:
National corporation does not post numbers for local offices and instead makes you call a 1-800 number where, in theory, they have highly trained operators
Said operator can not find location
Said operator schedules appointment and does not inform patient of the need to fast beforehand
Locale Office has no appointment and make patient wait over an hour
So, we are consumers and are wondering what is the appropriate level of customer service for this type of incident. Why should retailers and direct to consumer brands work to give a customer a satisfactory experience (e.g., a coupon) and not someone like Quest?
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter should you feel it appropriate.
The problem is, of course, that you can't easily switch insurance providers, a lot of times. Therefore, there's no incentive for them to try to keep your business.

Snow Dogs Go~ ! ! ~ Photo of skijoring from Bruce'sBlog
Today's post will focus on bikejor Safety.
A HIGHLIGHT- Canine control: The key to successful training in any dog powered sport is control, and this responsibility lies 100% with the bikejorer. If control is compromised, the probability of a mishap increases exponentially. The main culprit is excess speed for any given situation, as opposed to high-end speed measured in miles per hour. To illustrate, a bikejorer may have complete control of his or her team at 20 mph on a straight and flat trail, but on a downhill section with an off-camber turn, 7 mph may be too fast.This page also focuses on Bikejor Safely; A Quote: "Ha, ha , ha, safety? You have got to be kidding! If you want to TRY to stay alive, consider the following things:" click and learn!Above info is from Bruceshomepage. He has a great general primer on training and commands crucial to dog powered sports as well. Photos from Tragic Llama.
What can I say? The traumatic injury to my leg has sidelined me, but good. SO, my thoughts naturally have turned to the possible ways I might have prevented this injury and long suffering. This is vital information to review, for me, and anyone else who is considering, or is already partaking in, this extreme (and extremely dangerous) sport!
Basically, I've come to the conclusion that short of riding my brakes the whole time, and adhering to the # 1 rule of mushing (who knew?) "Never let go of the sled," there is little I could have done to prevent this. At the death defying speed at which we were traveling, coupled with the drastic change in direction the dogs initiated, I am not so sure I could have held on to the "sled" (read:bike.) Next time though, if there ever is one - this was a random squirrel encounter at just 1 bike length - that is what I think I will attempt to do. Unless I have already become a crybaby wimpy pants and begun to ride my brakes like a grandma, never allowing us to go above 8 MPH...Really there isn't too much trouble I could get into at 8 MPH...But of course, we were going well over 15 MPH.
New motto ideas? On the brakes you ride, then you stay alive, or how about, Believe the 3 second rule, you are a fool, and finally, Go fast you might not last.
KNEE UPDATE: owie zowie. My knee is still nearly as swollen as pictured below, and I've made only minimal progress in my range of motion and weight bearing. boo hoo. 4 weeks and counting. ...
my UK bikejor blogger buddy is always updating his page and has some great info for the beginner right now...He is also way into caricross, which is essentially competitive cross country trail running with one or two dogs attached to the runner by a line, and it is very big in the UK. Carnicross allows you to jog and keep your canines under control. Seems to me that some SO HUM joggers should check out carnicross ; like the cute Chiquita at the So Hum park with her crazy miniature (out of control) chihuahua attack dogs...just an idea. Carnicross pics from tragic llama . He has COOL VIDEOS too.
Here is the seldom updated but entertaining chariot lady blog "Featuring the incredible off-(and on-) road adventures of a modern-day Donna Quijote...and two crazy scooter-pulling canines. Call it dog scootering, scooterjoring, or just plain stupid, nothing beats the thrill of running your own private Iditarod." Maybe a few extra clicks will get her posting again...
See you NOT ON THE TRAIL, but on the silly stationary trainer, that thanks to only one functioning knee, I cannot even spin correctly!

Venus in Taurus Explained
Your Venus sign is basically your love sign. It's whatever sign the planet Venus was in at the time of your birth, and this will have a great effect on your love personality -- but not necessarily anything else, unless you've placements in your chart that are easily affected by it. So, if your sun sign seems to have nothing at all to do with your love / relationship style, this is why! It may be that your sun and Venus are in the same sign, but if you're totally opposite in love to what your sun or moon should be, keep reading to learn how Venus in Taurus affects you. This is the Goddess of Love's sign after all!
Tangible Love, Please!
Venus in Taurus needs tangible love. It is not enough to wax poetic in letters, over the phone, or by text messaging. These people MUST have something tangible to grasp onto, or they will come undone. That is not to say they are clingy and needy -- no, no, no.
I am more making the point that these folks will not do well in a long-distance relationship because that would be like sticking a tree in the basement and expecting it to bear fruit at some point. Of course, these people are extremely loyal and if they or their partner are called away for work, or military duty, you can trust them completely. But boy, will it be hard for Venus in Taurus to cope with. These folks really need huge doses of cuddling, snogging, holding hands and the like or they could start to wither away on an emotional level.
Rock Steady
Those with this Venus sign are not prone to panic or freak outs, even when faced with a Screaming Mimi partner. Venus in Taurus has very good control of their emotions and will not let him or herself be dragged down into emotional drama or outbursts. This does not mean they don't feel anything in these moments -- they do! But they will not allow their emotions to send them flying off the handle. On the other hand, their partners should not use this an excuse to go mad over small things and vent all of their frustrations on Taurus simply because they know a level of self-control will be maintained. And take note, those who might try: Venus in Taurus has a lot of patience, but once it's lost, it's lost on a permanent basis. Which brings me to the next item....
Top Class Grudge Holders!
Venus in Taurus is loving and kind and all that good stuff, but when you get on their bad side, they will shun you in ways that would impress the Amish. I have seen husbands of this sign ignore their wives, whilst living in the same house and sharing the same bed, for nearly a year. And I've seen it repeated six months after the thaw ended. Taurus simply doesn't forgive easily once they've been pushed past their limit. So if you are with one of these folks, it's best to engage in small arguments than big bouts of hysteria because the bigger the blowup, the longer the grudge.

It is no secret, dear friend, few people are startled by 'His' teachings, anymore, and there is a profound reason for this! In Jesus' day, His hearers were repeatedly 'astonished at His doctrine' (Matt. 7:28, 22:33, Mark 11:18). Yet, what is taught about this most wondrous of all men, today, that astonishes hardly anyone? The answer is as clear as crystal: very little!
The Mission, and Calling, therefore, of this outreach is to bring to men's awareness Truths and Teachings long lost sight of by the world, allowing the Startling Message of God's Divine Son, His Only-Begotten Son, to shine forth, once again, in Its Pristine, All-Illuminating, Mankind-Freeing Brilliance, to the world!
Non-sectarian in nature, this outreach is dedicated to presenting This Great and Glorious and Central Truth:
The LIGHT -- was for All Time!
And The LOVE -- was for All Men!
Presented are Revelatory Insights and New Understanding about the heart, nature, and mission of the Gentle Carpenter from Galilee, given the author during periods of prayer and meditation. Allowing one to fathom, as never before, the Depths of the Deepest Heart. And to grasp more fully precisely why this Teacher of Forgiveness and Compassion was -- then, now, and always -- The Dawn of Redeeming Grace! And the Chalice of Love's Pure Light!
It is the sincere desire of the author that you will be greatly blessed by your contact with this ministry. Your comments and suggestions are wholly welcome, and appreciated!
'I AM the Rose of Sharon' (Solomon 2:1) 'I WILL have Mercy' (Matt. 12:7)

The Court of Appeal of Alberta (Court) recently addressed the issue of chronic delay in civil litigation, when it released a split decision in Ursa Ventures Ltd. v. Edmonton (City) (Ursa) on the interpretation of rule 4.33 in the Alberta Rules of Court. Rule 4.33 directs the dismissal of civil proceedings where a significant advance in an action has not occurred for three or more years. Often referred to as the "drop dead" or "dismissal for long delay" rule, it states that "[i]f 3 or more years pass without a significant advance in an action," and a party applies to have the action dismissed, the court must dismiss the action. The Court's ruling in Ursa offers new insight into what constitutes a "significant advance."
On November 1, 2010, Ursa Ventures Ltd. (Ursa Ventures) filed a claim against the City of Edmonton for breach of a commercial contract. The City of Edmonton filed a defence shortly thereafter, but neither party took any other steps in the litigation until October 31, 2013, when Ursa Ventures served its affidavit of records on the City of Edmonton. A few months later, the City of Edmonton applied under rule 4.33 to dismiss the action.
Writing for the majority, Justice P.A. Rowbotham ruled that the chambers judge did not err in holding that Ursa Ventures's affidavit of records was a "significant advance" in the action. Justice Rowbotham held that rule 4.33 requires courts to apply a functional, context-driven analysis. The court must ask whether the step in question actually helped resolve the action by narrowing the issues or moving the action towards summary judgment or trial. No step, regardless of whether it is a mandatory step under the Rules of Court, will be deemed in all cases to significantly advance an action. For example, service of an affidavit of records is a mandatory step, but service of a blank affidavit of records may not significantly advance an action.
In concurring reasons, Justice P.W.L. Martin noted that Ursa Ventures's affidavit of records did not adequately describe the documents and was obviously missing key documents. Justice Martin lamented that "such an infantile step should be allowed to reset the clock for another three years of inactivity[.]" Nevertheless, Justice Martin agreed with Justice Rowbotham that the chambers judge was not unreasonable in finding that the affidavit of records significantly advanced the action.
Justice T.W. Wakeling, in a lengthy dissenting opinion, argued that rule 4.33 requires the court to determine whether the plaintiff advanced the action at an acceptable pace relative to a notional "reasonably diligent litigant" in similar circumstances. Justice Wakeling held that Ursa Ventures's claim should have been dismissed because a reasonably diligent plaintiff in a similar case would have set the action down for trial by the end of the three-year period, and a plaintiff moving with "acceptable dilatoriness" would have at least completed questioning.
All three Justices voiced concern over the potential for litigants to preserve their actions indefinitely without making any real progress by doing as little as taking one step in every three-year period. While the functional approach adopted by Justices Rowbotham and Martin may not fully address this concern, Justice Wakeling's proposal, involving reference to the hypothetical "reasonably diligent litigant," may lead to further litigation on rule 4.33 applications and uncertain outcomes, given its subjective standard.
A change to the Rules of Court may be required to develop a workable solution to the problem of chronic delay to help Alberta courts and litigants achieve the goal articulated by the Supreme Court of Canada in Hryniak v. Mauldin of "affordable, timely and just adjudication of claims." (For more information on Hryniak v. Mauldin, please see our January 2016 Blakes Bulletin: A Roadmap for Summary Judgment in Alberta).
Parties to civil proceedings in Alberta should be aware that a civil claim is liable to be dismissed if three years pass without a step that moves the claim toward trial. They should also be aware that as a result of the Court's comments in the Ursa decision, Justices and Masters may take a more critical approach to determining what constitutes a significant advance in an action.

I keep getting songs stuck in my head. When it happens, I can become a bit obsessive with said song and need to hear it multiple times per day. It happens to all of us, right? I am reminded of an episode of Married with Children when Al Bundy is trying to remember a song but he can't recall any of the lyrics or the song title…just the melody, which he tunelessly shares with anyone he thinks will listen. No one knows what he's talking about, not even the guy at the record store who knows everything. At times, that's how it is for me. I tell the hubster about a song, he doesn't recognise it, I insist he must surely recognise it, hum it for him, he smiles and shrugs.
Yesterday, there were a couple of songs stuck in my head. It took me all day to remember the title of one of them, but I didn't bore anyone with the usual game of "What's That Song Called?" So what's stuck in my head this week…?
So what about you? Which songs are stuck in your head?
