Estimating Simultaneous Sessions and User Capacity for Personal Assistant Servers
The Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide includes information on estimating the number of simultaneous sessions a server can support for Personal Assistant, and on how to use the estimates to determine the number of servers you need. This section includes the most current estimates and changes in how to estimate usage based on call interception (interceptor ports). Use the numbers in this section instead of the examples in the administration guide.
Note The number of media ports you can configure is determined by the speech-recognition license you purchase for Personal Assistant. If you purchase a 20-session license, you can configure only up to 20 media ports, even if a server platform supports more than 20 ports.
The Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide describes how to estimate simultaneous-session support for two types of Personal Assistant usage:
•Call-interception session—Personal Assistant intercepts an incoming call and applies call-routing rules. (Based on interceptor ports.)
•Speech-recognition session—A user calls Personal Assistant, for example, to dial a user by name or to set up a conference call. (Based on media ports.)
The administration guide explains how to calculate the number of required simultaneous sessions for each of these usage types to help you estimate the number of users you can support on a single server.
Cisco is changing the recommendations on calculating these estimates:
•Call-interception session—The calculation method described in the administration guide is no longer used. Instead, Cisco recommends that you calculate the number of users per server based on the number of busy hour call attempts (BHCA) for the server platform. This figure estimates the number of calls that can be processed during an hour in the busy part of the day (that is, during regular business hours). To calculate the number of users, divide the BHCA by the expected average number of calls made to a person per hour. Cisco recommends that you estimate 6 calls per person per hour. Thus, if a server supports 15,000 BHCA, 15,000/6 is 2,500 users.
When you determine the number of users per server that you can support for call interception, configure the interceptor ports based on that number. Assign each Personal Assistant server a collection of interceptor port patterns that matches the number of users. For example, interceptor port 1XXX applies to 1,000 possible interceptor ports (1000 to 1999). Thus, if you want to support 2,500 users on a server, configuring these three interceptor ports would accomplish the task (assuming the underlying phone numbers are all assigned to users): 1XXX, 2XXX, 35XX.
•Speech-recognition session—No changes. Continue to multiply the media port figures shown in Table 1 or Table 2 by the number of simultaneous calls to Personal Assistant that you want to support. Cisco recommends that you estimate 50 sessions per media port. For example, on an MCS-7835-1266 server where the Personal Assistant server and speech-recognition server are both installed, and the corporate directory has approximately 20,000 names or fewer, multiply 48 media ports by 50 sessions for a total of 2,400 users.
Or, in a reverse calculation, if you need to support 4,500 users, you need a total of 90 media ports. Because no single-server configuration can support as many as 90 media ports, you would require at least two servers, depending on the server platform you select.
Table 1 and Table 2 show the estimated number of sessions and users based on server type, speech-recognition package version, and the size of your corporate directory. Personal Assistant determines the best speech-recognition package to use during installation based on the server. Although not recommended, you can change this setting by modifying the \program files\cisco systems\personal assistant\etc\PABootstrap.properties file. The file includes instructions for updating the SPEECH_PACKAGE property.
The default speech packages are:
•English.America.1—For MCS-7825 servers. This package works well for phones on wires, but not for wireless phones or speaker phones. It also supports smaller corporate directories (up to 20,000 names). It requires significantly less processing power than English.America.3. You can also use this package on MCS-7835 servers. See Table 1.
•English.America.3—For MCS-7835 servers. This package offers the best speech recognition, and it supports large corporate directories (up to 45,000 names). However, it requires significant processing power. You cannot use this package on MCS-7825 servers. See Table 2.
For acoustic models other than American English, expect a performance capacity range of the following:
•Approximately the same performance capacity for other locales with a similar acoustic model (plus or minus 5%).
•Approximately 5-10% reduced performance capacity for each additional locale running on the same Personal Assistant speech server.
1 Divide the busy hour call attempts (BHCA) by the expected number of calls per person per hour to arrive at the number of users a Personal Assistant server will support for call interception. Cisco suggests that you estimate 6 calls per person per hour.
2 Cisco suggests that you estimate approximately 50 users per media port.

Installation Notes
•When you install Personal Assistant, you must select the languages you want to support.
•Personal Assistant and Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services should not be installed on the same system.
•Personal Assistant cannot be installed on a system that is a domain controller. A domain controller system will not let you log on as a local administrator.
•If the Personal Assistant server belongs to a domain that has no administrator password, the Personal Assistant System Administration interface allows the administrator to log on by using any password.
Configuring Personal Assistant with Multiple Cisco CallManager Clusters
When you install a Personal Assistant server or a Personal Assistant speech-recognition server, you associate that server with a specified Cisco CallManager server database. The Cisco CallManager server that you specify must be a publisher. There is only one Cisco CallManager publisher for each Cisco CallManager cluster. The other Cisco CallManager servers in the cluster are subscribers.
Note The Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide uses the term "primary CallManager" instead of "publisher" in the section about how to install Personal Assistant.
If you did not associate each Personal Assistant server and speech-recognition server in the Personal Assistant cluster with the same Cisco CallManager publisher database, your Personal Assistant servers in that cluster do not point to the same Cisco CallManager cluster. We refer to this setup as "multiple Cisco CallManager clusters."
To install Personal Assistant 1.3(1) with multiple Cisco CallManager clusters, you must do some additional configuration steps for speech recognition to work correctly. These steps ensure that the ODBC data sources on all server systems in a Personal Assistant cluster point to the same publisher database.
Do the following procedure on each Personal Assistant server and each speech-recognition server in a Personal Assistant cluster.
To configure Personal Assistant with multiple Cisco CallManager clusters
Step 1 On the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC).
Step 2 Click the System DSN tab.
Step 3 Double-click PACCMDB.
Step 4 In the Which SQL Server Do You Want to Connect To field, enter the IP address or hostname of the Cisco CallManager publisher database to which you want all of your Personal Assistant servers in the cluster to point. Personal Assistant will store all dynamic grammars (such as rule-set names) there.
Note The ODBC sources on all systems in the Personal Assistant cluster must use the same publisher database hostname.
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 Click Client Configuration, and in the Network Libraries section, select TCP/IP.
Step 7 Click Next until you get to the last page, then Click Finish. In the dialog box that appears, click Test Data Source. Confirm that you see "TESTS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!" on the results page.
Step 8 Click OK to complete the configuration.
Configuring Personal Assistant Interceptor Route Points
When you configure the Personal Assistant interceptor route point, set the line Calling Search Space to the device Calling Search Space. Do not leave the line Calling Search Space as <None>.
Upgrading to Cisco CallManager 3.2 After You Have Installed Personal Assistant 1.3(1)
If you upgrade to Cisco CallManager version 3.2 after you have installed Personal Assistant version 1.3(1), you must update the JTAPI files on each Personal Assistant server for that Cisco CallManager.
To update the JTAPI files, run the pa-ccm32.bat script from the \program files\cisco systems\personal assistant\lib folder.
Note Running pa-ccm32.bat stops and restarts the Personal Assistant services, so you should plan to run it when the suspension of these services will have the least impact.
Alternatively, you can reinstall Personal Assistant 1.3(1) on each server. The installation process checks your Cisco CallManager version and installs the appropriate JTAPI files.
Netscape Directory Issues
To use the Netscape Directory for your corporate directory, you must have the directory plug-in that ships with Cisco CallManager 3.1(2c).
If you use the Netscape Directory for your corporate directory, on the Corporate Directory Settings page of the Personal Assistant System Administration interface, change the entry in the Directory Search Filter field from "(objectclass=person)" to "(objectclass=inetorgperson)".
To allow users to log on to Personal Assistant by using their uid rather than their full name, change the Unique User Attribute Name from "cn" to "uid" on the Corporate Directory Settings page.
Whenever you change the corporate directory information on the Corporate Directory Settings page, go to the Speech Services page and click Refresh.
Active Directory Issues
To use Active Directory for your corporate directory, you must have the directory plug-in that ships with Cisco CallManager 3.1(2c).
If you use Active Directory for your corporate directory, manually change the Full Name field to user ID when you create users. Or you can select a different unique field for Personal Assistant. When you create new users with Active Directory, the Full Name field is auto-generated when you fill the user Firstname and Lastname fields. If you do not change the Full Name field to user ID, Personal Assistant uses the auto-generated Firstname-Lastname pair as the unique ID. This requires the user to use his first and last name to log on to the Personal Assistant user web interface rather than using a shorter user ID.
Whenever you change the corporate directory information on the Corporate Directory Settings page, go to the Speech Services page and click Refresh.
Personal Assistant and Cisco Unity
Before you use Cisco Unity for voice-message browsing with Personal Assistant, make sure that the Personal Assistant server has been added to the Cisco Unity server's domain.
When you configure Cisco Unity on the Messaging Configuration page of the Personal Assistant System Administration interface, the Name field in the Voicemail Server Attributes section says "Unity Messaging" by default. The online documentation incorrectly says "Unity Messaging System." If you have only one Cisco Unity server, use the default mailbox name, "Unity Messaging."
If you have multiple Cisco Unity servers with Exchange, there will be multiple accounts called "Unity Messaging" with the server name as the suffix. In this case, Personal Assistant is not able to disambiguate the mailbox name, and logon to Cisco Unity fails.
To work around the problem, use one of the following solutions to fill in the Cisco Unity mailbox name field:
•"Unity Messaging System - unity_server1" where unity_server1 is the Cisco Unity server's host name.
•Specify the e-mail address of the Cisco Unity mailbox with the prefix SMTP (for example, SMTP:firstname.lastname@example.com).
•Specify the alias name of the Unity Messaging account (for example, email@example.com).
For browsing voice messages by using Personal Assistant, a user's corporate directory e-mail address should be the same as the user's Exchange alias in Cisco Unity.
To use Personal Assistant 1.3(1) with Cisco Unity 3.0 and Exchange 2000, you must configure Exchange so that the administrator can access all of the Exchange user mailboxes. Otherwise, Personal Assistant will not be able to access the Exchange user mailboxes.
To configure Exchange to allow the administrator access to all Exchange user mailboxes
Step 1 On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Microsoft Exchange > System Manager to bring up the Exchange System Manager window.
Step 2 On the Exchange System Manager form, under <Your organization>, select Servers. <Your Exchange Server> displays.
Step 3 Right-click <Your Exchange Server>.
Step 4 On the Properties form, click the Security tab. The Form displays Name and Permissions boxes.
Step 5 In the Name box, select the Administrator user (domain-name\Administrator).
Step 6 In the Permissions box, enable the Allow field for Receive As and Send As fields.
Step 7 Click OK.
Rule-Based Routing to Voice Mail
When you use rule-based routing to voice mail, the messages you receive from callers in your corporate directory may be marked from an "outside caller." To ensure that they are marked with the sender's name, use the Cisco CallManager Administration interface to set the Voice Message box to blank for all Personal Assistant media ports and route points. To blank the media ports, go to Media Port > Phone Configuration > Line 1 > Voice Message box. To blank the route points, go to Route Point > CTI Route Point Configuration > Line 1> Voice Message box.
If you have multiple Cisco Unity servers, your users should set their voice-mail destination to the pilot number of the Cisco Unity server to which they are homed.
Note Make sure that you do not have any special handlers for the mailboxes on your voice messaging system. If you have set up special handlers, a caller may not be able to leave you a message after Personal Assistant has redirected the call to your voice-mail box.
When you use Personal Assistant with Cisco CallManager 3.2, set the Voice Mail Profile to NoVoiceMail on Line 1 of the Interceptor Route Point and the media ports configured for Personal Assistant.
Canceling a Call When Dialing by Name
When a Personal Assistant user places a call using dial-by-name, Personal Assistant says the name of the called party just before placing the call, for example, "Calling John Doe." To stop the call to this party, the user can say, "Cancel" right after the party's name is said.
Increasing the Call Pickup Timeout for a Cell Phone
The call pickup timeout feature controls how many seconds Personal Assistant rings each destination in a destination group before moving on to the next destination.
The default setting for the timeout feature is 8 seconds. Because each ring takes about 3 seconds, the 8-second default setting means that Personal Assistant allows approximately two to three rings at each destination before trying the next destination in the group.
A cell phone company's call setup time may take longer than Personal Assistant's default timeout of 8 seconds. If you have a call-forwarding rule with a destination group that includes a cell phone, you may want to increase your call pickup timeout value.
Adding and Removing Supported Locales
When you install Personal Assistant, you select the locales you want to load onto your system. When you configure Personal Assistant, you select the locales you want to enable for users.
Later, you can change the locales that are available to users by adding or removing installed locales from the Speech Service page in the Personal Assistant System Administration interface. Newly added locales are available to users after the next system refresh.
Users whose preferred locale has been removed by the Personal Assistant system administrator must reset their preferred locale to another supported locale from their Settings page.
Preventing Toll Fraud
To prevent or limit name-dialing transfers from Personal Assistant to external numbers, use one of the following solutions:
•Configure your Cisco CallManager route plans, partitions, and calling search spaces to disable Personal Assistant from making long-distance calls.
•Configure Personal Assistant to operate in speech-enabled Auto Attendant mode so that callers and employees can access names in the corporate directory only from an external or internal route point.
•Configure an internal (non-DID) route point for Personal Assistant so that employees can access all Personal Assistant functionality only from the office.
Installing Personal Assistant 1.3(1)
This section includes the most current procedures for installing and upgrading to Personal Assistant version 1.3(1). Use the following procedures instead of the procedures in the Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide:
•Installing—See the "Installing Personal Assistant 1.3(1) On a New System" section.
•Upgrading—See the "Upgrading from Personal Assistant 1.2 to Personal Assistant 1.3(1)" section.
For information about hardware and software requirements for Personal Assistant 1.3(1), see the "Required Hardware and Software" section.
Installing Personal Assistant 1.3(1) On a New System
This procedure describes how to install Personal Assistant on a system that is not running a previous version of Personal Assistant.
Before You Begin
You cannot install Personal Assistant on the same system as any other Cisco IP Telephony application, such as Cisco CallManager, Cisco Interactive Voice Response (IVR), or Cisco Auto Attendant. The installation program will terminate if it detects any of these applications on the system.
You cannot install Personal Assistant on a Windows domain controller.
You must log on to the system from which you are running the Personal Assistant Installation program as the local administrator.
If you are integrating Personal Assistant with Cisco Unity or Exchange in a Windows 2000 domain, you cannot use the same product code to install both Windows 2000 and Personal Assistant. You must first install Windows 2000, restart the system, and join the domain before proceeding with the Personal Assistant installation.
To install Personal Assistant 1.3(1) on a new system
Step 1 Log on to the computer from which you are running the Personal Assistant Installation program as a local administrator.
Step 2 Insert the Personal Assistant Installation compact disc in the CD-ROM drive. The Personal Assistant installation program automatically launches.
Step 3 If prompted, enter the product key.
Step 4 Click OK. The welcome window appears.
Step 5 Click Next. The End-User License Agreement window appears.
Step 6 Read the agreement, and click I Agree to accept the terms and continue. Or click Exit to cancel the installation.
Step 7 In the Cisco Personal Assistant Components window, choose the Personal Assistant components to install:
During installation, the selected components install on the same system. If you want to install components on different systems, choose only those components you want installed together at this time. You must do subsequent installations to install the remaining components on different systems.
Step 8 If you are installing Personal Assistant in a Windows 2000 domain, click Use a Domain Account and enter values for the following fields:
The domain administrator account.
The password for the domain administrator account.
The domain in which you are installing Personal Assistant.
If you are installing multiple Personal Assistant servers, you must install them in the same Windows 2000 domain.
Step 9 Click Next.
Step 10 In the Cisco Personal Assistant Locales window, choose the locales to install.
The locales you choose during installation are the ones from which you choose to enable for users when you configure Personal Assistant.
If you chose to install only the Cisco Personal Assistant Speech-Recognition Server, skip to Step 14. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
Step 11 Click Next.
Step 12 In the Cisco CallManager Database Location window, enter values from the Cisco CallManager publisher database in the following fields:
Host name
The DNS name or IP address of the server running Cisco CallManager.
Windows2000 username
and password
The settings on the server running Cisco CallManager.
SQL Server username
and password
The SQL server used by Cisco CallManager.
The settings must match those on the server running Cisco CallManager. For example, if on that server you do not have passwords set for Windows2000 and SQL Server, do not enter them here. User names, however, are required.
Note You must be able to access the Cisco CallManager server from the computer on which you are installing Personal Assistant. When you click Next, the installer verifies connectivity to the Cisco CallManager server. If it cannot reach Cisco CallManager, it generates an error and installation cannot continue.
Step 13 Click Next. The Ready to Install Cisco Personal Assistant window appears.
Step 14 Click Next. The Personal Assistant components you selected are installed. Installation takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Once complete, the Cisco Product Activation window appears.
Step 15 Click Yes to restart the computer. Click No to continue installing other applications.
You must restart the computer before using Personal Assistant.
Step 16 Configure Cisco CallManager. Refer to the "Configuring Cisco CallManager for Personal Assistant" chapter of the Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/assist/assist3/index.htm.
Step 17 Configure Personal Assistant. Refer to the "Configuring Personal Assistant" chapter of the Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/assist/assist3/index.htm.
Upgrading from Personal Assistant 1.2 to Personal Assistant 1.3(1)
This section describes how to upgrade to Personal Assistant version 1.3(1) on a system that is currently running any version of Personal Assistant 1.2. The procedure assumes that the currently installed Personal Assistant component was installed correctly and is functioning.
Upgrading from Personal Assistant 1.1 to Personal Assistant 1.3(1) is not supported.
Before You Begin
To upgrade Personal Assistant cleanly, you must disable the product on your telephony network. Plan to upgrade the product on a day and time when the elimination of the Personal Assistant service will have the least impact.
When you install Personal Assistant 1.3(1), the installation process checks your Cisco CallManager version and installs the appropriate JTAPI files. If you install Personal Assistant 1.3(1) before upgrading to Cisco CallManager 3.2, see the "Upgrading to Cisco CallManager 3.2 After You Have Installed Personal Assistant 1.3(1)" section.
Caution It is better to upgrade existing servers than to install a new server cluster. During upgrade, Personal Assistant preserves user and system settings, such as dialing rules, call routing rules, personal address books, and destinations. If you install a new server cluster to replace an existing cluster, these settings are not preserved, and users will have to recreate their configurations.
You cannot mix different versions of Personal Assistant components in the same cluster.
To upgrade from Personal Assistant 1.2 to Personal Assistant 1.3(1)
Step 1 To stop the Personal Assistant components and remove Personal Assistant services from the telephony network, in the Personal Assistant System Administration interface, click System > Control Center.
Step 2 On the Control Center page, click Stop All in each of the three sections of the page to stop all Personal Assistant servers, license managers, and speech-recognition servers.
Step 3 Upgrade the Personal Assistant components by doing Steps 1 through 15 of the "To install Personal Assistant 1.3(1) on a new system" section.
Step 4 Click System > Speech Services, and click Refresh on the Speech Services Configuration page.
Personal Assistant refreshes the server configuration and reloads directory and speech-recognition grammars. After the refresh is finished, Personal Assistant should be running correctly and available for use.
Caveats are both expected behaviors and defects in software releases for a product.

Documentation Updates
This section lists errors in the current Personal Assistant documentation. The correct information will be incorporated in a future documentation release, or as otherwise noted.
Adding Media Ports: Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide
In Chapter 3, "Configuring Cisco CallManager for Personal Assistant," in the procedure for adding media ports for Personal Assistant, Step 7 should read, "Enter the extension, such as 5001, assigned to this port in the Directory Number field."
Troubleshooting Personal Assistant: Cisco Personal Assistant Administration Guide
•In Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting Personal Assistant," in the problems to check for when callers hear "We are experiencing technical difficulties, please call back later" under "Resolving Problems Using Personal Assistant," the path for speech packages should read, "\speech\grammar\static\pa\ <locale>."
•In Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting Personal Assistant," in the "Users Cannot Log Into Voice Mail" section under "Resolving Problems Using Personal Assistant," the last paragraph should read, "If it is not there, and you are running the Personal Assistant server, create it by using PA/bin/PAUnity.prf."
Browsing Voice Mail: Cisco Personal Assistant User's Guide
In Appendix A, "Common Questions About Using Personal Assistant," the question "Why is Personal Assistant telling my callers that I am unavailable?" under "Browsing Voice Mail" should read:
Why do callers hear a fast-busy tone when they try to call me?
Q.) My callers hear a fast-busy tone when they try to call me, even though I am available. What's going on?
A.) Make sure your personal and corporate destinations are correct. If Personal Assistant tries to forward an incoming phone call to you at an invalid number, your caller hears a fast-busy tone. For help with destinations, see the "What Are Destinations" section on Page 3-1.
Synchronizing Your Personal Address Book: Cisco Personal Assistant User's Guide
In Chapter 4, "Setting Up Your Personal Address Book," in the "Synchronizing the Address Book with Your Exchange Contacts List" section, the tip for the procedure should read: "A conflict occurs when you have an entry with the same first and last names in both your personal address book and your Microsoft Exchange Contacts list. To resolve this, Personal Assistant then looks at the e-mail address and phone number to determine if they are really the same record."

Bangalore: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President G Parameshwara on Monday defended his statement on repayment of loans by the minority community. He said he was only trying to extend help to the community and that he didn't mean that anyone should be allowed to flout the law.
"I had said that minorities should be given loans to give them support and courage. It will give them a boost," he said.
His earlier statement that it is alright if minorities don't repay loans led to allegations of vote bank politics against him. He had in a statement on Sunday said that that the minorities should be given loans through the corporation or through the departments. He had even advocated that loans over Rs 50 lakh should be sanctioned to them.
He had gone ahead to say that it will not be a problem if they do not repay the loans. "If they defraud its alright, there are many others who have defrauded on government loans unto thousands of crores. Let us also allow minorities to do that this is part of development process," he had said.

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP
First Time 180 Gram Vinyl Presentation
Mastered From The Original Warner Bros. Tapes
In 1976, superstars Rod Stewart/Faces were rewarded by their label Warner Bros. with their first
greatest hits album, Snakes and Ladders/The Best of Faces. Featuring the classic line-up of Rod Stewart,
Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones), Kenney Jones (Small Faces, The Who, The Law), Ronnie Lane (Small
Faces), Ian McLagan (Small Faces, Bonnie Raitt) and Tetsu Yamamuchi, the Snakes and Ladders album
has become one of their most loved works in their stunning gold and platinum career.
With hard pub-rock classics like Stay With Me and Around the Plynth and brilliant rock standards
like Ooh La La and Flying, the Snakes and Ladders album would go on to become one of the best-selling
albums in their extensive catalog. The long out of print original version of this greatest hits masterpiece
also includes the only appearance of the super rare Pineapple and the Monkey.
Dig deeper into the grooves and there you find even more rock and blues belters like the masterful
Miss Judys Farm, the powerful rocker Had Me a Real Good Time, plus the English folk-rock ballad Sweet
Lady Mary, making Snakes and Ladders/The Best of Faces one of the finest overviews ever of this sorely
missed supergroup.
Therefore it is with much excitement to announce the first time 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl release
of the legendary Rod Stewart/Faces greatest hits masterpiece Snakes and Ladders/The Best of Faces.
Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Mastering, this stunning LP was
long overdue for an audiophile vinyl release.
In addition to all the great album tracks, this collection also gathers up rare single only tracks like You
Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything, truly making this LP the five star masterwork that it is. We believe
this wonderful new audiophile release of Snakes and Ladders/The Best of Faces will become one of the
most anticipated classic rock releases of the summer!

The evolution from blues to rock accelerated with the Rolling Stones' second American LP. They turned soul into guitar rock for the hits "It's All Over Now" and "Time Is on My Side" (the latter of which was their first American Top Ten single). "2120 South Michigan Avenue" is a great instrumental blues-rock jam; "Around and Around" is one of their best Chuck Berry covers; and "If You Need Me" reflects an increasing contemporary soul influence. On the other hand, the group originals (except for the propulsive "Empty Heart") are weak and derivative, indicating that the band still had a way to go before it could truly challenge the Beatles' throne.

Recorded during their American tour in late 1969, and centered around live versions of material from the Beggars Banquet-Let It Bleed era. Often acclaimed as one of the top live rock albums of all time, its appeal has dimmed a little today. The live versions are reasonably different from the studio ones, but ultimately not as good, a notable exception being the long workout of "Midnight Rambler," with extended harmonica solos and the unforgettable section where the pace slows to a bump-and-grind crawl. Some Stones aficionados, in fact, prefer a bootleg from the same tour (Liver Than You'll Ever Be, to which this album was unleashed in response), or their amazing the-show-must-go-on performance in the jaws of hell at Altamont (preserved in the Gimme Shelter film). Fans who are unconcerned with picky comparisons such as these will still find Ya-Ya's an outstanding album, and it's certainly the Stones' best official live recording.
- Richie Unterberger (All Music Guide)
Track Listing:
1. Jumpin' Jack Flash
2. Carol
3. Stray Cat Blues
4. Love In Vain
5. Midnight Rambler
6. Sympathy For The Devil
7. Live With Me
8. Little Queenie
9. Honky Tonk Women
10. Street Fighting Man
This album was spawned by three coinciding events -- the need to acknowledge the death of band co-founder Brian Jones (whose epitaph graces the inside cover) in July of 1969; the need to get "Honky Tonk Women," then a huge hit single, onto an LP; and to fill the ten-month gap since the release of Beggars Banquet and get an album with built-in appeal into stores ahead of the Stones' first American tour in three years. The fact that the Stones had amassed a sufficient number of hits since their last greatest-hits compilation in early 1966 (Big Hits: High Tide and Green Grass) made this a no-brainer, and its song lineup was as potent at the time as any compilation of hit singles by any artist. From the group's excursions into fey psychedelia ("Paint It, Black," "Ruby Tuesday," "She's a Rainbow," "Dandelion"), space rock ("2000 Light Years From Home"), punk decadence ("Mother's Little Helper"), and back to straight-ahead rock & roll ("Jumpin' Jack Flash"), some of it with a topical edge ("Street Fighting Man"), it's all incredibly potent, though also redundant to the extent that "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend the Night Together" had previously appeared on two U.S. albums. The presence of "Honky Tonk Women" propelled it to gold record status upon release on both sides of the Atlantic, although the simultaneously released British version (long out of print, except as a bootleg CD) is different and more confusing, but also more diverse and rewarding musically than the American version. Both this album and Big Hits: High Tide and Green Grass have been supplanted by Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks, but are still handy in their tight respective focuses.

The album to spawn the production duo The Glimmer Twins, a.k.a. Jagger and Richards.
It is also marks the first appearance on a Stones album by Ronnie Wood as he plays 12 string guitar on the single, Its Only Rock n Roll. The earliest versions of this iconic song were recorded in Ronnies home studio and he is credited with inspiring the song. Given the songs place among live shows during the next four decades it did surprisingly badly when it was released as the lead single from the album. It got to number ten in the UK and number seventeen in America, although it did make number three in France. The second single from the album was the only cover on the record, the Temptations Aint Too Proud To Beg. This was also the last album to feature Mick Taylor as a band member as he left soon after its release. The cover features a painting by Guy Peelaert and it won an award as the best cover of the year.
Track Listing:
1. If You Cant Rock Me
2. Aint Too Proud to Beg
3. Its Only Rockn'Roll (But I Like It)
4. Till the Next Goodbye
5. Time Waits for No One
6. Luxury

10. Fingerprint File
Ranked 108/500 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
It's difficult for American listeners to remember this, but like the recordings of the Beatles and nearly all other British groups of the '60s, the Rolling Stones' first several albums did not make it across the Atlantic in one piece. Prior to ABKCO's comprehensive 2002 reissue program, the US versions of the Stones' early albums were the de facto standards, but particularly in the case of 1966's AFTERMATH, the UK album was very different.
The track lineup is shuffled and expanded to create a much different mood. "Paint It Black" is gone, replaced as the opening track by the snotty social commentary of "Mother's Little Helper," which--when followed by "Stupid Girl," "Lady Jane," "Under My Thumb," and "Dontcha Bother Me"--is like a pentathlon of punky misogyny capped by the grinding blues jam "Goin' Home." Side Two is more emotionally varied but just as musically far-reaching, adding the poppy "Take It Or Leave It" and "What To Do" to an already strong set of tunes centered on the stunning full-length version of "Out of Time" that for some reason had never been released in the United States before this belated reissue.
Track Listing:
1. Mother's Little Helper
2. Stupid Girl

Beggars Banquet is the seventh British and ninth American studio album by the English rock band The Rolling Stones. It was released in December 1968 by Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States. It marked a return to the band's R&B roots, generally viewed as more primal than the conspicuous psychedelia of Their Satanic Majesties Request. It also started off a string of four LPs that is usually regarded as the band's finest work.

1. Sympathy For The Devil
2. New Expectations

Between the Buttons is the fifth British and seventh American studio album by The Rolling Stones. It was released on 20 January 1967 in the United Kingdom and 11 February 1967 in the United States as the follow-up to the ambitious Aftermath. Between the Buttons is seen as the beginning of the Stone's first complete departure from their R&B roots and the beginning of their brief foray into psychedelia.

The album cover photo (US edition) was shot at Franklin Canyon Park in Los Angeles, California.
Reaching #3 on the US charts, where it remained for two years, Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) proved to be a big smash and currently remains a popular Rolling Stones retrospective.
The UK Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) includes tracks released after the American edition appeared. The Rolling Stones' debut 1963 single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", was included, but its more successful follow-up, "I Wanna Be Your Man" composed by rivals (although in reality as friends) LennonMcCartney was left off the album.

Doom And Gloom marks the first time that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have been in the studio together for seven years. Taken from the forthcoming album GRRR!, Doom And Gloom was recorded in Paris and produced by longtime Rolling Stones producer Don Was, who has worked with the band on five previous albums (Voodoo Lounge/ Stripped/ Bridges To Babylon/ Live Licks/ A Bigger Bang), with the radio mix produced by Jeff Bhasker.
Track Listing:
1. Doom And Gloom
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP -Sealed
Recorded at Regent Sound Studios in London over the course of five days in January and February 1964, The Rolling Stones was produced by then-managers Andrew Loog Oldham and Eric Easton.
The majority of the tracks reflect the band's love for R&B. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (whose professional name until 1978 omitted the "s" in his surname) were fledgling songwriters during early 1964, contributing only one original composition to the album: "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)". Two songs are credited to "Nanker Phelge" - a pseudonym the band used for group compositions from 1963 to 1965. Phil Spector and Gene Pitney both contributed to the recording sessions, and are referred to as "Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene" in the subtitle of the Phelge instrumental "Now I've Got a Witness."
The album cover photo was taken by Nicholas Wright. The cover bears no title or identifying information other than the photo and the Decca logo - an "unheard of" design concept originated by manager Andrew Oldham.
Upon its release, The Rolling Stones became one of 1964's biggest sellers in the UK, staying at #1 for twelve weeks.

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
Upon its original 1972 release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. The 18-track double-album was recorded in various stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios in London, Keith Richards' mansion Nellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where the literal 'Main Street' influenced the album title. These atypical circumstances surrounding the recording process greatly affected the album's outcome which was highly reflective and influenced by the socio-political turbulence that marked the late `60s and early `70s.
The Stones nixed the influences of a flower-child era and directed their creative process with the edgier, excessive, more is more approach of the `70s. Exile reveals a sprawling mix of genres with undertones of blues, country, R&B and gospel mixed with lyrics that fervently demand for release and liberation.
The album pulled together an electric array of talent including Dr. John, the late Billy Preston, and pianist Nicky Hopkins. Guitarist Mick Taylor, who replaced Brian Jones in the band shortly before Jones died in 1969, is a magnificent blues player who brought an intensity and elegance to these epic tracks. At times, these musicians and others lived on the recording studio premises with the band creating an extremely open and creative collaboration for the album.

The Stones' image of unkempt and surly youth is one many musicians still emulate. During their 1969 American tour, the Stones were introduced and have often since been referred to as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World." The band has released 29 albums of original work and compilations, and has had 37 top-10 singles. In 1989 the Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 The Rolling Stones were ranked #4 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time

At the end of the day, we all want to feel "fought" for. We want to feel like somebody cared enough to want to hold onto us. We all just want somebody who won't quit on us on our potential when they get frustrated with our mistakes.

Détruire dit-elle, 1969, Marguerite Duras
my real blog is alagarconniere.wordpress.com.
Détruire dit-elle, 1969, Marguerite Duras
"Self-destruction for love is a particularly Durasian obsession. "You destroy me. You're so good for me," repeats the woman in "Hiroshima Mon Amour" to her lover. I ask her today why sex and death are always entwined for her.
"It's difficult to articulate. It's erotic." She takes a deep breath. "I had a lover with whom I drank a lot of alcohol." She pauses, staring straight at me. Her face is expressionless, her dark eyes are absolutely still. "I'm acquainted with it, the desire to be killed. I know it exists.""
From an October 1991 NYTimes interview that remains an open tab on my computer, always.
You should read this.
"And this doubt grows around you. This doubt is alone, it is the doubt of solitude. It is born of it, of solitude. At least the word can be named. I think a lot of people couldn't bear what I'm saying here; they would run away. Perhaps that's why everyone isn't a writer. Yes. That's it. That's the difference. That's the truth. Nothing else. Doubt is writing. Thus, it is also the writer. And with the writer, everyone writes. We've always known that."
Marguerite Duras (via batarde)
Marguerite would have been 100 today.

also better moment than ever to remind you of my photobooth tag.
hiroshima mon amour (renais, 1959)
A quick and frivolous return to French letters…
Marguerite Duras
"I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met." — Marguerite Duras
Marguerite Duras FOREVER.
i'm fanning myself right now. this is incredibly beautiful.
"I can't really remember the days. The light of the sun blurred and annihilated all color. But the nights, I remember them. The blue was more distant than the sky, beyond all depths, covering the bounds of the world. The sky, for me, was the stretch of pure brilliance crossing the blue, that cold coalescence beyond all color… The light fell from the sky in cataracts of pure transparency, in torrents of silence and immobility. The air was blue, you could hold it in your hand. Blue. The sky was the continual throbbing of the brilliance of the light… Every night was different, each one had a name as long as it lasted."
The Lover, Marguerite Duras (via phantomcelluloid)
Give or take a day, I finished this book one year ago in Paris, somewhere on the Left Bank.
(via aclockwithouthands)
i'm in the middle of reading this. i kind of wish i hadn't seen the film already.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Use of Meds That Conflict With Cancer Drugs Common: Study
Many patients on targeted cancer drugs also take other medicines
that may reduce the cancer treatment's effectiveness or cause toxic
side effects, according to a new study.
Researchers found that 23 percent to 57 percent of patients who
received one of nine targeted cancer pills were also prescribed
medicines that may limit the effects of the cancer treatment, and
24 percent to 74 percent were given drugs that could cause toxic
side effects when used at the same time as the cancer drugs,
Bloomberg news reported.
The study was conducted by a team at Medco Healthy Solutions
Inc. and presented today at the annual meeting of the American
Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
"Oncologists are not always aware of other medications prescribed by other doctors and vice-versa, which can pose a real hazard for their patients on oral cancer therapies," Steven Bowlin, one of the study authors and senior director at Medco's research division, said in a statement, Bloomberg reported.
Schools' Use of 'Pink Slime' Beef to Become Optional: USDA
Starting in the fall, schools in the national school lunch
program will be able to refuse ammonia-treated ground beef filler
that some refer to as "pink slime."
The announcement Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture
comes amid growing social media outrage over the so-called "lean
finely textured beef," the
Associated Press reported.
The product is made from fatty pieces of meat left over from
other cuts. The pieces are heated and spun to remove most of the
fat, and compressed into blocks for use in ground meat. The product
is exposed to ammonium hydroxide gas to kill bacteria.
The change is USDA policy means that schools will be allowed to
choose between 95 percent lean beef patties made with the low-cost
lean beef product or less lean bulk ground beef without it, the
AP reported.
No More Federal Funding for Texas Women's Health Program
The U.S. government says all funding for the Texas Medicaid
Women's Health Program will be stopped due to the state's ban on
funding for clinics affiliated with abortion providers.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services regrets
the move but had no other option, according to director Cindy
"We had hoped not to be at this point. But, unfortunately, as we've made clear to the state at all points in this process, we don't have a choice," Mann said during a conference call with reporters, the Associated Press reported.
"Medicaid law is clear," she noted. "Patients, not state government officials, are able to choose the doctor and health care providers that are best for them and their family."
The Texas program covers about 130,000 low-income women, ages
18-44. Federal funds cover 90 percent of the cost and the state
pays the rest, the
AP reported.
Federal support continues for similar programs in about 29 other
states, Mann said.

They are lively, good-natured children, but the widowed Captain Von Trapp runs his home with precision and discourages any frivolity. Tested by the children, Maria wins them over. When the Captain returns from Vienna with his fiancee, the Baroness, and Max Detweiler, an impresario who wants the children to enter the Salzburg Festival, Maria leaves because she is in love with the Captain.

I discovered that VeriSign's SiteFinder service breaks Microsoft's
Outlook Express email reader. If a user misspells a domain name in
their POP3 or SMTP server name, Outlook Express no longer provides
meaningful error messages to a user to help them to fix the problem.
Similar problems may exist in other email readers and other
Internet-enabled software. This Outlook Express problem raises
questions about what kind of testing VeriSign did to understand the
collateral damage to application software from the SiteFinder service
before the service was turned on.
Here are the expected error messages in Outlook Express for a misspelled
domain name:
The host 'smtp.rcntypodomain.us' could not be
found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly. Account: 'pop.rcn.com',
Server: 'smtp.rcntypodomain.us', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
The host 'pop.rcntypodomain.us' could not be found.
Please verify that you have entered the server name
correctly. Account: 'pop.rcn.com', Server:
'pop.rcntypodomain.us', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number:
With SiteFinder, here are the error messages that are now produced:
The message could not be sent because one of the
recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected
e-mail address was 'rms () computerbytesman com'.
Subject 'Testing 1 2 3', Account: 'pop.rcn.com',
Server: 'smtp.rcntypodomain.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Server Response: '550 <unknown[220.127.116.11]>:
Client host rejected: The domain you are trying
to send mail to does not exist.', Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error
Number: 0x800CCC79
The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'pop.rcn.com', Server: 'pop.rcntypodomain.com',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
