Cologne Cool
Thomas Fehlmanns Visions of Blah is a cool, clean, assured take on the current Cologne microhouse sound. While Fehlmann is the elder statesman on the scene, his aesthetics are well suited for microhouses attention to detail, both for the dancefloor and the living room.
In the late 70s, Holger Hiller and Fehlmann formed Palais Schaumberg, soon to become one of the more innovative Neue Deutsche Welle (German New Wave) bands. Their sound was danceable yet avant-garde, incorporating sharp rhythms with Fehlmanns bouncy analogs and Hillers wound-up expressionist vocals. In one case, with both hands in harmony and dissonance, the varispeed tape vocal experiments and heralding, deflating synth horns on Wir Bauen Ein Neue Stadt, applauded and doubted the building of a new city. Most interestingly, as a cheeky appropriation of Paul Hindemiths 1931 operetta Wir Bauen Ein Stadt, it connects to (and questions) an earlier generation; Hindemiths compositions were banned in Nazi Germany for their dissonance and modernity. But ignore the politics, history, and experiments and its still a great track, probably the standout off their eponymous 1981 full-length.
In 1985, the Palais Schaumberg bubble palace burst, and like so many others, Fehlmann (as Ready Made) began experimenting with newly cheap digital synths and samplers. In 1988 he started the Teutonic Beats label, releasing Detroit-influenced 12s from the nascent German techno scene. Alex Paterson caught on, and soon Fehlmann was permanently contributing to the Orbs perpetually floating sound in the studio and as a tour DJ. A residency at Tresor followed, and Fehlmann was later able to put art school to use, assisting in the design, visuals, and installations at Berlins Ocean Club.
These days, Fehlmann has been producing microhouse on the Cologne-based Kompakt label. With houses beat and glitchs attention to detail, microhouse is more a description of process than sound, aimed at constructing textures, layers, and space, but with the dancefloor in mind. And this subdued, precision-guided four-on-the-floor has proven surprisingly varied: theres MRIs glam-glitter, Matthew Herberts jazzy, composed grooves, Green Velvets straight-jacketed narratives, the density and vivisected vocals of Luomo (b/k/a Vladislav Delay), and Andrew Weatheralls Hypercity takes a survey of the Mille Plateaux / Force Tracks sound.
Kompakts brand of microhouse is minimal and dub-influenced, and Fehlmann fits in perfectly. There are no vocals samples, and the beat itself is always subtle; texture gets equal (if not more) attention. In Fehlmanns hands, this allows for a mélange of sounds, from reggae keyboards drenched in echo, to ambient jetstream tones, to building breakbeats, to acidy, pixelated, midi-nonsense 8-bit samples, never once falling for clichés. Certain fleeting moments feel like casual examples of a golden era in the history of house or techno. But with Fehlmann (and basically nobody else on the scene), these feel more like oral narratives than studied references. And like any good story, it knows how to keep your attention. Granted, Visions of Blah doesnt make you want to lose your mind only to try and find it again, but its varied and competent enough to fit into any set.

GEICO's Hump Day Camel Commercial is My New Wednesday Anthem
If you haven't either a) seen this commercial or b) heard someone quote it ad nauseam than you need to seriously rethink your current social status.
I'm going to assume you have a pulse right now and therefore know that GEICO and Progressive are locked in an internal struggle for your insurance money. This war is heavily based around who can spend the most advertising dollars.
I for one have enjoyed GEICO's strategy a lot more than Progressive. GEICO has kept things fresh and different with several different creative approaches.Progressive on the other hand have put all their eggs in one tiresome and annoying basket.
I've got ex-girlfriends that you make look pleasant to be around!

Drain Cleaning
Just beneath your floorboards and behind walls, your home is filled with drains and pipes responsible for keeping the water moving smoothly to and from your home. However, if your drains are not regularly cleaned and the pipes are ignored for too long, there is a good chance that they can become clogged. The last thing you want to worry about is trying to guess where a clog has formed and how big it might be.
However if you do find yourself faced with a situation like this, call Lovotti Air Conditioning & Heating for professional drain cleaning. If you think your pipes and drains may be getting clogged or if you'd just like to stay on top of preventative maintenance, we have the skills and tools to handle any job. Our Stockton, CA area drain technicians have access to the newest technology in the field for tracking, isolating and removing clogs no matter their size or location.
Drain Problem Symptoms
There are a few simple things you can watch for when trying to determine if your drains need professional attention.
First, look for any sign of slower draining. Clogs rarely cause a backup until they are so bad that water cannot get past them at all. However, because the trap in each drain is designed to minimize backflow, even a small clog will severely slow drainage.
Another symptom can be a toilet that doesn't flush the way it always has. If the line is clogged or is starting to clog, even further down the pipes, there may be an issue in the toilet causing the problem. The trap could be the issue, or the pipe further down – only a pipe inspection will allow you to be sure.
Another problem that can occur is a backup of water outside. Due to how traps and drains work, water leakage can occur if a severe enough clog develops in the main sewer lines. Look for dampness around your home when it's not raining. If you notice a strange smell anywhere in your home, it could also be because of poorly operating drains and traps.
Professional Pipe Inspection
A proper inspection does many things. To start with, it allows a professional to take a look at the condition of your drains and pipes. Clogs are not always due to foreign objects being flushed down the toilet or too much hair going down the bathtub drain. They can be due to old pipes, corroded joints or a countless other issues.
If you suspect that your drains are starting to back up or that your pipes may not be working as they once did, call Lovotti Air today. Our cutting edge technology and expert plumbing technicians have the skills and expertise needed to get the job done quickly and correctly. If you live in the Greater Stockton and Modesto, California area and you have concerns about your plumbing's ability to drain, now is the time to call.

Colored Calendar Phase-In
In planning the roll out for multiple calendars there was some concern that the extra load on our servers from processing the transition for large numbers of devices all at once might bring down the entire service. Transitioning a device from the old to the new calendar content involves re-fetching all calendar events and quite a bit of churn in the persistent store, so more CPU and disk and network resources are used than for normal syncing. This led to the adoption of a progressive roll out strategy.
In addition, in order to reduce the risk of widespread service instability, we decided to initially deploy first in a mode where 'old' users did not get the new features but newly signed up users did. The idea was that new users never had working sync and therefore if something unfortunate happened they would be much less upset than existing users who had had working sync beforehand.
The plan was to watch for any reports of badness from new users for a while, then if none were seen, begin to enable multiple calendar support for existing users.
What actually happened was that there were no reports of new problems but there was an unrelated server stability issue over the weekend. Investigating that issue delayed the beginning of the 'old user' roll out, and in the meantime someone leaked the existence of multiple calendars for new users in a blog comment.
This prompted the 'official' announcement which of course led to frustration for those users who had not yet been 'enabled'. It was necessary to proceed with caution: enabling 100 users first then watching server load for a while, followed by 1000 users and so on. As of tonight roughly 40,000 users have had multiple calendar support enabled and we expect to enable the remainder tomorrow, assuming no server overload issues show up.

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for the new features but as an 'old' user I appreciate the effort to keep the service quality as high as it is. Couldn't imagine my phone without it.

To use a cliche, you guys rock. I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to change the color on the calendars on an iPhone? I know this isn't really a question for your service (or I assume it isn't) but thought you might know.
2. Do you support Google Calendar invitations the way that the iPhone expects to get Exchange invitations so they show up in the invite try? If not, are you considering that?
Seriously, you guys are awesome. Great service!
- January 13, 2009 at 10:39 PM
- David Boreham said...
Michael: the short answer is that we don't have control over the colors.
We expect invitations to work once we have e-mail sync support. The iPhone seems to want invites to be processed via the 'sync' e-mail. Windows Mobile will happily process invites via IMAP while the calendar syncs, but the iPhone won't. Of course it's possible that Apple will change this in a future update.
- January 13, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Great update! It definitely took me by surprise at first, but now that I realize it isn't my iPhone going haywire but an intentional new feature I am over the moon... this is the only thing I was missing when I chose to use NuevaSync!
I'll second the request for a way to change colors. It's a little tricky for me to identify which calendar is which.
- January 13, 2009 at 10:51 PM
- Dave said...
See that's why you guys are great!
Any other service like this would have just said: "It's free, we'll get to it when we get to it, if you don't like it, get lost." Instead, you guys keep us in the loop even though you're providing this service for free.
Would that paid services take a note from you guys.

Really appreciate much your effort!
Meanwhile as an "old" user I'll just wait patiently.
I just noted that one of my chinese character calendar was being shown as "??" in the setting page. And even i changed its name to english the "??" was not changed accordingly. Is there anything i can/have to do?
- January 13, 2009 at 11:03 PM
- sanlaser said...
Thanks for the great update.It seems that the service supports 2 bytes character(like Japanese)so much confortable to use it.One thing expect to update is adjust colors between google calendars and iPhone calendars
- January 13, 2009 at 11:30 PM
- Guy Rosen said...
Good stuff! I have a foreign-language Calendar, with a foreign name. On the NuevaSync website it shows up as a series of question marks.
That said, the calendar itself seems to sync perfectly to my iPhone, so all is well.
- January 13, 2009 at 11:57 PM
- Guy Rosen said...
I managed to use this to work around the color issue: initially sync with just one or two calendars and then add the rest one by one so that each one is assigned to the right color.
The only catch was that the iPhone's first calendar color is orange, which I don't use, and NuevaSync doesn't let me uncheck my default calendar. So, I used a separate Google Account, shared all my usual calendars with it and connected NuevaSync to that. The idea is that that new calendar was assigned to orange, but it's empty anyway.

Thanks for the update and I completely support your roll-out policy (hope you didn't cop too much flack from impatient users ;-) )
A Quick question if I may?
My biggest frustration with using Google contacts and syncing to the iphone is that Google's contacts fields don't seem to match up to the iPhone's. Specifically the address field.
I'm in the UK and if you sync the iphone contact to gmail contact it mess about with the field and you end up with the whole address in one line.
This means that when it syncs up again and you view the contact it's wrong. If you now touch on the address to open in google maps, it defaults to thinking you are in the US and can't find the contact. Very frustrating.
I know this is probably not your doing, more an issue with how google handles it's contacts (Exchange syncs address fields perfectly).
Is there anything you can suggest or anyway your sync can reformat these for the iphone properly?
(Not a quick question in the end I know.)
Thanks for the great work, very much appreciated.
- January 14, 2009 at 1:52 AM
- Nando said...
Guys, thank you very much! The service you provide is really top-of-the-line. Multi-calendars work great! Only minor thing (suggestion) would be to sync the the same colours as the GCal for each calendar on the iPhone.
Thanks again for your much appreciated work!
- January 14, 2009 at 3:09 AM
- mr71mb0 said...
the iphone decides the colours and are not selectable. you'll have to do the reverse, let it sync then set google to same colours.
- January 14, 2009 at 3:12 AM
- Andree said...
You offer a great Service.
And if you could connect the Calendar-Sync Service to a caldav Server this would be the best sync Service ever.
- January 14, 2009 at 3:50 AM
- Matt Dyson said...
Thanks for the clarification on this, can now see why the rollout was done as it was!
Waiting patiently (ish!) for my account to be changed over :-)
Once again, thanks for the amazing service!

Has anyone else lost their calendar? Mine was syncing fine, then I opened my calendar and all my appointments disappeared. I'm not freaking out (yet), but wanted to know if anyone else was having this?
- January 14, 2009 at 7:04 AM
- Steve said...
HELP!!! I show multiple calendars on the list, there are entries in GOOGLE for them, they are all the same color (not a big deal), BUT -- there are NO entries in the calendar screen on the iPHone. I have switched calendar in settings to OFF and then ON. Nothing.
- January 14, 2009 at 7:08 AM
- unknowng said...
I think their servers are getting hammered. Some of my calendar entries just came back (though not all)
- January 14, 2009 at 7:10 AM
- Steve said...
If it's just that, it is MY PLEASURE to wait!
Willing to pay for it, by the way, once it goes 1.0
- January 14, 2009 at 7:16 AM

Yeah all my calendar entries just popped back.

My account was updated today and I was pleasantly surprised. I had read that you were planning on adding multiple calendar support and was greatly anticipating it. Thank you very much for a great service that I rely on daily.
- January 14, 2009 at 7:49 AM
- N said...
The update is awesome. I've seen so many poor sync implementations that I am really impressed with this. If you are able to work out the coloring scheme then this will be top notch.
- January 14, 2009 at 7:55 AM
- mbw said...
Thank you for adding color! The only thing that could make it better would be an easy way for the colors to match what I created in Google Calendar.

I've lost all my contacts, and little red dots are showing up next to all my calendar events regardless of what calendar they're on. I really need my contacts back...
- January 14, 2009 at 8:17 AM
- Walter said...
Im afraid it looks like your servers are getting hammered, all my contacts have disappeared too, I quickly backed up my google contacts to CSV format just in case.
In my attempts to resync my calendar has gone too. I look forward to your server reboot!

I lost all my contacts too..... i hope this issues get solved fast.

Same thing here.
My iPhone's sync'ed Calendar and Contacts vanished.
Google contacts exported for safety.
Looking forward to getting back a normal operation.
Good luck guys

My contacts are gone too. Calendar seems to still be OK.
- January 14, 2009 at 9:17 AM

5 minutes later, contacts are back. Phew.
- January 14, 2009 at 9:22 AM
I lost my contacts and calendar today (and associated things like names instead of numbers in iPhone text, etc.). It's frustrating. Loved nuevasync till this. What's the plan? Can't go long like this. Would rather not have color calendars (though it is a great advancement) and have a working system.
- January 14, 2009 at 9:24 AM
- John Richards said...
I alternately lost my calendar and contacts so I just left my phone alone for awhile. Came back and everything resynced and is responding quickly. Also, the website is responding a lot quicker too.
- January 14, 2009 at 9:35 AM
- Walter said...
this to me seems like quite a big flaw with the way the iphone handles exchange accounts. Surely it should hold a backup of the contacts and calendar on the iphone for situations like this.
If i was a high powered business person (which im not) I could have lost a few clients by now

- Spencer E Holtaway said...
I've had patchy calendar syncs too, guessing it's server load.
- First I had nothing
- Then everything (including read-only calendars) popped up, but with only one colour
- Then it all disappeared
- Then I got just my standard calendar (pre-update style)
-Now I turned on another calendar and everything disappeared again.
I'm going to do what John Richards did and leave it alone until tomorrow. Fingers crossed it'll be working normally with colours, bells and whistles, etc in the morning!
Looking forward to full service being resumed and all the good stuff that comes with it.
Thanks again for a great free service.
- January 14, 2009 at 10:05 AM

And now I have all calendars but no colours, so there you go, the servers fighting itself or something!
(http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rsnNUn4QUW8 see 2 minutes in for what I have pictured in my head)
- I can now also make changes on the iPhone without everything disappearing. Getting close!
- January 14, 2009 at 10:13 AM
- Walter said...
Ive had patchy results too, 100 contacts synced (out of 240) then back to nothing
Im hoping when I get home and put it on my wifi connection it will resolve itself
Edge probably doesnt cut it when syncing an entire address book
- January 14, 2009 at 10:15 AM
- Alex said...
All five of my calendars show up in yellow, and one of them isn't loading at all. I'll let it sit for a little longer to see if it resolves itself, but it's already been about an hour at this point. Any ideas?

I can see multiple calendars (both mine and read-only) but they are all the standard iPhone gray/blue color. Should I have received the color phase-in supposed when I received the multiple calendar support?
Thanks for everything! This is a great service!

Hi guys.
I just noticed that the default alerts of the calendars don't work (i.e., no alerts are considered) if the event is created on the iPhone.
Certainly is also a problem of the native calendar on the iPhone since the alerts are only for the handset... but do you reckon it's possible to maintain the default alerts (sms, emails, etc., whatever was set up by the user)???
Thanks for all your work!

So when is the colored calendars going to be enabled for everyone? I still do not have color calendars, but then again everything disappeared from my phone this morning - calendars and contacts so maybe it's a moot point. But it would be nice if I was finally let out of my corner and allowed to have what it seems everyone else has. That is, once the service starts working at all.
I mean, you advertise the feature on the main page and give it to new users. Yet those of us that have been around for a while still don't get it and we still are subject to the service outage that's evidently caused by the new feature.

I have had my NuevaSync account since August 2008, has anyone in that range had their multi-coulor activated yet?
- January 15, 2009 at 5:43 PM
- Pablo said...
have colored calendars now and calendar sync is working. I'm happy. There were a few glitches that others should be aware of:
1. When colors got turned on, some (all?) of the events from calendars other than my main one showed up twice: once with the correct calendar color, and once with my main calendar color. If this happens to you, do not delete the duplicate event. Instead, reset: on the phone/iPod, go to Settings|Mail,Contacts,Calendar, select Nuevasync from the accounts list, turn off Calendars, wait, and turn them back on again. If you can wait to do this until it is night time in the US, I'm guessing you will put less stress on the servers. Note that this will assign all new colors to your calendars. It is not necessary to delete the nuevasync account and recreate it.
2. My default calendar changed. Fix: on the phone/iPod, go to Settings|Mail,Contacts,Calendar, scroll down to Calendars, and choose your default calendar.
3. An inactive calendar that I never use showed up (and used a color slot) on my iPod. Fix: on the Nuevasync status page, click setup next to the calendar status and choose only those calendars you want to sync. BTW, in this process I discovered that Nuevasync has implemented one-way syncing for my read-only calendars since the last time I checked. Way to go!
Great service and thanks for the upgrade!

Casserole Carrier by Vonny
• $48
• Vonny
Sarah Rae showed us these rad casserole carriers a little while ago, and summer potluck season is a good reason to mention them again. I have one, and it rocks. It's sturdy and spillproof, and it cradles a 9x13 dish in style. I love the exterior pocket — perfect for utensils or an extra towel.
Available in four designs: Orange Daiquiri (pictured), Bohemian, Carnival, and Calliope.

I arrived back home in Ottawa on Monday after flying all day from Nashville, through Washington and finally into Ottawa. Doing the play-by-play of the Detroit/Nashville series on Hockey Night in Canada was a great experience for me because of Harry. I had worked with Harry Neale before in single games, but on a playoff series the whole crew pretty much stays together til its over. I spent most of the week with Harry, producer Larry Issac, director Jacques Primeau and host Scott Oake. The best part of all the time I spent was with Harry. When you get that much time you get a chance to prompt him on all the hundreds of stories he has from a life in hockey. Coaching Gordie Howe. His time in Vancouver and Detroit and the years of broadcasting with hall of famer Bob Cole. I must say I am shocked that Harry is not in the Hall of Fame. He should be and I believe will be and if I had a vote it would already be cast.
When I got home on Monday one of my oldest friends Cam Baldwin arrived from Winnipeg. His son Corbin was playing in the Telus Cup National Midget Championship in Arnprior for the Winnipeg Thrashers. The kid is 16 years old and already 6'5" and drafted by Spokane in the Western League. His team is unbelievable. The Thrashers lost one tournament game early in the season, did not lose a regular season game in Manitoba and lost just once in the regional round robin to the Notre Dame Hounds who they beat in the regional final to get to Arnprior.
After watching the games in Arnprior I found myself with a very settled feeling about where we are going as a nation with our developmental programs. The hockey at the Telus cup from these 15 and 16 year olds was amazing. The Ottawa Valley Titans are a hell of a team and had a great season and they couldn't win a game in this tournament. It tells you how good the best midget players in Canada really are.
If you want to see the kids that are coming down the hockey pipe in the next few years, you may want to check it out today in Arnprior for the semi's and the bronze medal game tomorrow at 10am and the gold medal game at 4pm with the delayed broadcast at 6pm on TSN. These kids are fantastic and well worth the watch.
See you at the rink.

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. For all these things must happen, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24.6
There is division in the world and misunderstandings among nations because sin rules. And in the last days, it will get even worse. Hatred, the lack of love and war between men will intensify, until the final era of the antichrist, in which the children of God will be separated from the children of the devil.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield should be criminally prosecuted for his fraudulent work that led to an increase of morbidity and mortality around the world. He preyed on parents' intrinsic desire to protect our children for the sole purpose of economic remuneration. Parents who, despite our concerns, choose to vaccinate our children find no respite. Wakefield bolstered the ideas of the anti-vaccination movement with a false validity that threatens herd immunity, and now we are faced with the reemergence of diseases that threaten who we most want to protect, our children.
I do not take vaccinating my children lightly. Given my PhD in public health, I understand the risk of vaccinating better than most. Still, I dread the moment and agonize over possible consequences. My husband likes to remind that statistically the chance one of our girls will be afflicted by a negative outcome is very small, but this does nothing to quell my fears. The bottom line is that while there is a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of being struck by lighting, if you are the one struck, you are not likely to care about all of those that were not. I get it! Still, I cannot forget the unforgettable story of Jessica Esquivel.
Jessica contracted Chickenpox in 1990, five years before the vaccine became available, but developed a streptococcus infection that evolved into toxic shock and resulted in the loss of her extremities. This was a rare complication just as a few years ago polio cases, measles outbreaks, etc. were rare. It was even more rare to die of childhood disease, but today that is no longer the case.
We know the very real dangers of disease. History has documented this. There is also a history of vaccines accomplishments and failure. The bottom line is that I have to weigh reality against speculation, statistical probably, and hope against fear.

There is a doctor at OHSU in Portland who I believe can do this procedure.
- July 22, 2013 at 10:04 am
Her name is Dr. Orloff. She does PV procedures….not 100% sure she's done Rex Shunt, but I wouldn't be surprised. My daughter was diagnosed with PVT when she was six years old and she gets all her care and follow up at Doernbecher Children's Hospital at OHSU. Currently she is being monitored for PVH and receives excellent care from her GI doctor who is a liver/thrombosis specialist. It's quite a story I want to share with your community someday.

Dr. Sukru Emre at Yale, new haven CT. He has done them and would have done my daughters but clots inside the liver meant she cannot get Rex. So she will be having distal mesorenal shunt this month.
- April 30, 2017 at 3:41 pm
Needing a surgeon to correct shunt which is no longer anchored or in abdominal cavity. Much discomfort. Neurosurgeon "doesn't do anything from the neck down. ". OKC area preferably.

Spelt can be traced back almost 9,000 years to both the Middle East and southeast Europe. It is not known whether spelt originated concurrently in both locations, or if there was a single origin in the Middle East.
Spelt was cultivated in many ancient civilizations in Europe and the Middle East, and traces of the ancient grain were also found in Britain during Stone Age excavations. Although a member of the same grain family as wheat, rye and barley, spelt has certain properties that differentiate it from the others, including its tough outer husk. It was used as one of the first grains to make bread. In the Middle Ages, it was even thought to heal illnesses. Spelt appeared in Greek mythology as a gift from the goddess Demeter. It is thought that the Greeks introduced the grain's cultivation process to much of the world. Mention of the ancient grain can also be found in the Old Testament and ancient Roman texts.
By the Middle Ages, spelt was being cultivated in Germany and Switzerland. The popular grain was first introduced to the United States in the 1890s. Spelt experienced a rapid decline in the 20th Century with the expansion of modern farming and was mostly replaced by wheat, which was easier to cultivate.

Dwight Yoakam

Between creating an iconic style and hits like Guitars, Cadillac and Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Yoakam made his way to the silver screen and appeared in popular movies such as Sling Blade and Panic Room. He's collected several Grammys and ACM Awards, recorded more than 21 albums, charted more than 30 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and sold more than 25 million records.

When Lea Michele tweeted she was pregnant today, it's fair to say we were more than a bit shocked - but it was all a cruel hoax.
A rep confirmed the star's Twitter account was hacked today, after she wrote: "Before this gets out to the media, I would like to announce to my fans that I am pregnant #BabyBoy".
And that came just a day after her co-star Chris Colfer's own account was hacked, saying he had been "let go" from Glee.
The cruel prank fell just a week before the first anniversary of Lea's co-star boyfriend Cory Monteith's death - but she has taken it well and joked about it now.
The brunette beauty wrote: "I was HACKED! Guess @chriscolfer and I should have known better then to make our passwords the names of our cats:)."
That WOULD explain it.
She followed with: "Hope you all have a fun and happy 4th of July!!!"
However it was too late to stop fans bombarding the actress with vicious insults with one calling her a "whore"
One fan, called @orrdy, hit out saying: "@msleamichele @heyabbi wtf how could she do that to cory".
The incident happened less than a week before the first anniversary of Monteith's death.
The actor was found dead at the age of 31 in the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver.
He and Lea had planned to get married before his relapse in to drugs.
Lea paid tribute to the young star on his birthday in May this year, posting a snap of them both laughing together with the caption: "The biggest heart and most beautiful smile.. In all of our hearts.. We love you so. Happy Birthday."
But having suffered a difficult few months, brunette beauty Lea has looked in good spirits recently.
Last week she was pictured stepping out with her new boyfriend Matthew Paetz, 29, after finally moving on from her loss.
She met the aspiring model and actor on the set of the music video for her new single, On My Way, in April.
Here they are together:

jeudi 31 décembre 2015
by Bernard Bujold -
The December 31, 2015 is a day of mourning for the city of Montreal...
Indeed, it is the publication of the last edition of the daily newspaper La Presse on paper. Montreal will never be the same without the daily presence of the newspaper La Presse which was somewhat an institution like The New York Times is for the city of New York.
I had several friends who were leaders at this newspaper in print including Claude Masson and Michel Roy. I also knew his buyer owner, Paul Desmarais. I had the pleasure and privilege to photograph him several times. The last time was during his funeral at the Notre Dame Basilica ... Some say that Paul Desmarais would have never ended LA PRESSE in paper? We will never know the answer except that the newspaper has only ceased publication in print after his death...

My great passion is reading! I probably read a hundred books in 2015, but sometimes not all are excellent... I also read sometimes works published several years ago.
From this year reading, I retain three books that I would call my "FAVORITES 2015".
1. The best book, in my opinion, the work of William Boyd "SWEET CARESS or in French"LES VIES MULTIPLES D'AMORY CLAY." A fictional story about a great photographer who lived from 1908 to 1983. A magnificent book which will appeal to all from photographers to simple romantic people who love stories about life and in this case of a career woman, independent and free.
2. My second best book is the work of Catherine Lafrance "JUSQU'À LA CHUTE". A story about life, resilience and fate in which book the three main fiction characters join the real news of 2015. A cyclist who witnesses of fatal bicycle accident; a homeless person of Indian origin;. and a mother whose son died tragically on the day of his 20 years. According to me, Catherine Lafrance is an author of great talent and his only fault is not be a star. But his talent is equal to the greatest writers in Quebec.
3. My third favorite is a book published in 1987 but which is still completely in today interest: THE ART OF THE DEAL by Donald Trump. We must not believe that Trump invented himself for the actual race for the American presidency. All his life strategy is described in the book he had published in 1987. We could change the title of the book and call it: THE ART OF WINNING. Those are my three best literary choice for 2015.
Happy New Year 2016 ... and read on!

Our society and its structures are fragile everywhere in the world and our hero of the day become too frequently the pariahs of tomorrow...
The political debate of the hour is, for many, the many provocative statements made by Donald Trump.
If Donald is elected next President of the United States, he will likely become a hero, but for now, he is considered a pariah that many love to hate. We love Donald or hate him. There is no gray area with the character.
Personally I like him!
I've never met in person but I've read all his books. Marketing that he applies to its current political campaign were already in the book: THE ART OF THE DEAL (1987). In his latest title: CRIPPLED AMERICA (2015) Chapter 13 is of particular interest (see page 127). His ideas are not different in 2015 than they were 30 years ago passed. The character is consistent and it is not an invention of the moment.
In fact, Donald Trump's speeches have always remember me those of Pierre Péladeau father for whom I had great admiration and I had much pleasure to know and be with. This kind of characters speak as they think. You could say they do not have filters like "politically correct" and also that they are provocative and drooling (bullies), but I prefer to say that they are "real".
These kind of characters are of course "dominant" and in life there are dominant and the dominated. All those who perform things in society are dominant from Pierre Péladeau to Donald Trump including all other from Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg. I think of Donald Trump as a refreshing new style politicians and the masses seems to be in favor of this kind of character. We recognize in a Donald Trump the opposite of a career politician.
Does this kind of new politician will make a better world? It remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that we must change the direction of the world! Many of our leaders became too often in recent decades pariahs. I would say that we are due for some outcasts who will become heroes! To be continued...

Although I do not believe in God, I am a deep admirer of church buildings and I love visiting them.
A media officer friend (Marie Marais) recently invited me to the press conference marking the 150th anniversary of the Church of GESÙ in Montreal, which conference also announced the official opening of the new show area on the ground floor.
The history of this chapel-church, inaugurated by the Jesuit community on July 10, 1865, is captivating and it is one of the oldest religious buildings in Montreal. The church-chapel has long been affiliated with the Collège Ste Marie formerly located south of the church and destroyed in 1972. The College and the Gesù were both under the direction of the Jesuits.
If from the outside, the church GESÙ is probably the most discreet of all the churches in Montreal (there is not even a bell tower...), however the interior is worthy of the greatest museums with beautiful and historic frescoes from 1865, and two organs in perfect condition, the smallest is the first one installed from the start.
Several activities are planned for the 150th anniversary and one can read it by visiting the website of the institution.
Note that to greet the guests at the press conference, the organizers wanted to give a nod to the Jesuit community and it is with the "sacramental wine" that they closed the presentation... "...Gratias ago tibi Domine..."

Guy Turcotte tragedy is now a story closed.
This is a sad tragedy for all, including Turcotte!
Indeed, it is always very sad to lose an exceptional talent like the one of a medical specialist but Turcotte had a serious fault, he was not resilient to cope with everyday life.
A normal human would have forgotten the existence of his wife who no longer loved him and wanted to be with another man. Turcotte should have moved on. He should also start a new life with another partner, but rare, very rare, are the normal people in our modern society...
CONCLUSION: We must make the most of life in every passing moment and, above all, never attach to the past! Human life is the now moment, nothing more, nothing less.
Above all, we must never break down our life for another person.
In a way, I consider myself lucky because I have lived the same situation as broken couple like Turcotte and Isabelle Gaston, with several nuances and many great differences, and I was able to turn the page, let the children live and forget the existence of the former spouse.
One must believe that I am, a little bit, normal...

The universal question among the people of the earth: "Does God exist and if so, why do not he constantly offers us happiness? Why wars and terrorism?
This question is particularly relevant now because of the terrorism which is currently raging on the planet earth.
I thought a lot about this subject and I concluded that the various gods "revered" by humans simply do not exist! The "human gods" are "political" creations in the sense that the various religions, whatever they are, are based on human ideologies rather than on a divine reality. I think the true God is a form of energy as insensitive to the feelings as is a computer...
Human life is nothing else than energy.
In reaching my conclusion, I have repeatedly looked in the sky and observed the stars and planets in trying to define, in my mind, the place that I occupy in the infinite universe. Each time, I had to stop my observation because dizziness came over me. The conclusion is inescapable: the religious gods cannot exist!
That does not mean I do not admire a religious and human character like Pope Francis or some other great human character, but I do not believe in a god who is all-powerful and from who one can expect a new life after our physical death.
It is also another of my findings: "There is no life after death!" Death is like a switch that closes the lights. Except that the switch of human life has only one use... and therefore one must take in every passing moment and enjoy it!
It is also useless to pray God for happiness or peace, because this responsibility, minor in the infinite universe, belongs to each one of us. Each of us, in our souls and in our actions, are our god, or our devil.
Happy Holidays 2015!

Late Return Automatic Penalties: Logging an Appeal
|Information contents
Logging an appeal
The appeal should be logged on the day of receipt. This is especially relevant where the appeal cannot be settled immediately as the penalty charge remains collectible until the appeal is logged, when it will then be suspended.
To access this function you will need to hold any of the following roles; CISR Processor, CISR Process Manager or CISR Penalty Administrator.
This Action Guide assumes that whoever logs the appeal will do only that and that the appeal will later be selected through the Work Management system by the CISR WM Penalty Administrator who will then seek to progress and settle the appeal.
If the appeal is submitted by anyone other than the customer, when completing the fields within the 'Identify Customer' window;
- Select 'Third Party' (not Agent) from the 'Contact' drop down menu before going on to complete the authentication process. This is the case whether the appeal is submitted by the customer level agent or scheme specific agent or by a third party representative.
- From the CIS Main Menu, select the appropriate contractor scheme reference from the 'Contractor Scheme' panel and then 'Create Penalty Appeal' from the menu below.
The next window is divided into two panels, the top panel titled 'Appeal Letter Recipient' displays the name and AO reference of the contractor scheme. The lower panel titled 'Select Appellant' is where the scheme representative or customer who submitted the appeal is shown. The entries you make will decide to which recipient and address the system will issue the appeal acknowledgement. The fields requiring completion in the lower panel are as follows;
'Represented By' - The drop down menu will give you the following choices:
- Customer - This field will initially default to 'customer' and will be appropriate if the customer is unrepresented
- Agent - Will be for when the customer has a scheme specific or customer level agent acting for them
- Third party - This field is selected if the appeal was submitted by a friend or relative
'Recipient name' - This field will be automatically populated as follows when the appropriate drop-down is selected in the 'represented by' field:
- Selecting 'customer' will display the customer's name.
- Agent - By selecting 'agent' you will need to decide which agent the appeal acknowledgement should be issued to. This will be relevant where there is both a scheme specific agent as well as a customer level agent acting. (See CISR19000 for further details relating to these two types of agent). The appeal acknowledgement (CIS320) will be sent to the scheme address as well as the appropriate agent identified.
- Third party - Selecting 'third party' will mean that the appeal acknowledgement (CIS320) will be sent direct to the customer, but it will advise them to pass it to the third party representative.
- 'Address for acknowledgement (drop-down menu)' - this will be automatically populated with the HMRC base address. Where the scheme has a CIS Communication Address set, this option will appear on this drop-down and should be selected if you want the appeal acknowledgement (CIS320) to be sent to the CIS Communication address instead.
- Customer's Appeal Reference - This field is intended for use where an agent sends in an appeal on behalf of a contractor.
Having completed the above fields (where appropriate) select 'Next'.
This takes you to the first of two 'Create Penalty Appeal' windows the first of which consists of two panels with the scheme name and AO reference in the top panel. The lower panel titled 'Penalties provides details of the late return penalties issued during the last six months to that scheme. A maximum of 10 penalties is listed on each page CIS penalties in excess of this will be shown on subsequent pages and can be accessed by selecting the page number or by selecting 'next' which will take you to the next page.
If you wish to view all the CIS penalties issued to the scheme (that were issued more than six months ago) you should;
- select the 'Show all Penalties' button.
Having done this, to return to the previous window, you can;
- select 'View six months' at the bottom of the list.
This panel will be populated with the following columns;
- Reference - this will be the SAFE reference attached to the penalty
Type - indicates the type of penalty, entries being;
- for penalties issued under TMA70/S98A , late filing or final late filing
- for penalties issued under FA09/SCH55 this will be FP1, FP2, TGP1, or TGP2 (see CISR65050).
- End Date - this will indicate the month and year of the return the penalty relates to.
- Instance - the first 2 digits (outside the brackets) relate to the penalty instance for that return. The filing date to which this penalty relates will then follow. For example, 01 (19 08 2008) would be the first penalty instance relating to the monthly return ended 05/08/08 due to be submitted to HMRC by 19/08/08. This will appear for CIS penalties issued under TMA70/S98A but this field will remain empty for all CIS penalties issued under FA09/SCH55.
- Issue Date - this will be the date of issue or the date of the last amendment of the CIS penalty
- Amount - is the current amount of the CIS penalty charged
- Status - this is the current status of the CIS penalty, entries will be issued, re-issued or vacated.
- Appeal Progress - displays the current state of any appeal made against the CIS penalty.
You should now match the appeal with the appropriate penalty listed and select the box to the left of the CIS penalties being appealed against. It is possible to select more than one penalty at a given time if the appeal clearly relates to more than one penalty.
- select the [Create Appeal] button which will take you to a further 'Create Penalty Appeal' window.
This window will display up to 5 separate penalties against which you wish to log an appeal. If more than 5 penalties are selected the remainder will be listed on subsequent pages.
The top panel contains the scheme name and AO reference. The middle panel lists the penalty (or penalties) you selected from the previous window relating to the appeal submitted. The lower panel needs to be completed as follows;
* Date received - this will automatically display 'today's date'. However if the appeal was received by HMRC before 'today's date' you must over-write the existing entry and enter the date of receipt.
If you are 'logging' the appeal only, you may now continue this action guide from 'Add notes' below. If you are 'logging' the appeal and also considering the grounds of appeal, please continue immediately below.
Grounds for Appeal - select the appropriate entry from the drop down menu. The selections are
- Reasonable Excuse - to be selected where the appellant offers a reasonable excuse as the grounds for their appeal
- HMRC admin error - this will be appropriate if the appeal suggests the return was issued in error or there was some other HMRC error.
- Other - this will apply when the grounds for appeal are not fitting to the other options.
- Location of Appeal Papers - Use this field to record the district record reference of the folder where the appeal papers are filed.
- Add Notes - You should select this tab to add a note showing the actions taken to progress the appeal.
Each time you add a note to this field you must include your PID at the beginning of the note as the system will only record a date and time automatically to each note. The date and time entries will not be visible until the entries have been saved.
It should be noted that if you add a note when logging multiple appeals the same note made will be added to each of the appeals. See CISR65680 for further information on entering and removing appeal notes, and details of the required method when printing the notes on settlement of the appeal.
- Select the [Accept] button to log the appeal.
This now takes you to the 'Create Appeal' window where you can now see the penalty appeals that you have now 'logged' these will now show the amended 'Appeal Progress' status of 'Received'.
- Select [OK] to return to the CIS Main menu.
An appeal acknowledgement (CIS320) will be issued automatically and the charge will be suspended pending the outcome of the appeal. A penalty work item will also be created once [OK] is selected.
