This Journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics
This Journal recommends that authors follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals formulated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)
There are no fees payable to submit or publish in this journal.
Please read the guidelines below then visit the Journal's submission site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijsa to upload your manuscript. Please note that manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines may be returned.
Only manuscripts of sufficient quality that meet the aims and scope of International Journal of STD & AIDS will be reviewed.
As part of the submission process you will be required to warrant that you are submitting your original work, that you have the rights in the work, that you are submitting the work for first publication in the Journal and that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere and has not already been published elsewhere, and that you have obtained and can supply all necessary permissions for the reproduction of any copyright works not owned by you.
The International Journal of STD & AIDS is a peer-reviewed publication publishing clinically-oriented papers on both traditional sexually transmissible diseases (STDs) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which contribute to the advancement of knowledge in these fields.
When assessing the length of your contribution, allow 250 words for each table, figure or group of eight references, since all of these will contribute to its total length.
Suggestions for review articles are welcomed by the Editors and the subject matter should be outlined to the Editors, if possible before writing the article. Maximum length: 3500 words, with up to five tables or illustrations.
Original Research Articles
These are expected to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of STD and AIDS. Maximum length: 3000 words, with up to five tables or illustrations.
Case Reports
These should be prepared in a narrative style and comprise a summary; a short introduction stating the reasons for reporting the case; the case report including history, investigations and treatment; and a discussion referring to the relevant literature. Maximum length 800 words with 1–2 tables or illustrations.
Audit Reports
These should be prepared in a narrative style and comprise a short summary, introduction, methods, results and discussion. Maximum length 800 words with 1–2 tables or illustrations.
Letters to the Editor
These should relate to articles published recently in the journal. Letters are usually less than 500 words.
All papers will be reviewed by independent referees, and authors may be requested to amend their contribution. The final decision about acceptance or rejection remains with the Editors. Papers on which the Editors are co-authors are handled by another member of the Editorial Board and are usually sent to at least two independent referees.
Covering letter
The covering letter is important. To help the Editors in their preliminary evaluation, please indicate why you think the paper suitable for publication. If your paper should be considered for fast-track publication, please explain why.
As part of the submission process you will be asked to provide the names of peers who could be called upon to review your manuscript. Recommended reviewers should be experts in their fields and should be able to provide an objective assessment of the manuscript. Please be aware of any conflicts of interest when recommending reviewers. Examples of conflicts of interest include (but are not limited to) the below:
- The reviewer should have no prior knowledge of your submission
- The reviewer should not have recently collaborated with any of the authors
- Reviewer nominees from the same institution as any of the authors are not permitted
Please note that the Editors are not obliged to invite any recommended/opposed reviewers to assess your manuscript.
Papers should only be submitted for consideration once consent is given by all contributing authors. Those submitting papers should carefully check that all those whose work contributed to the paper are acknowledged as contributing authors.
The list of authors should include all those who can legitimately claim authorship. This is all those who:
- Made a substantial contribution to the concept and design, acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data,
- Drafted the article or revised it critically for important intellectual content,
- Approved the version to be published.
Authors should meet the conditions of all of the points above. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content.
When a large, multicentre group has conducted the work, the group should identify the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript. These individuals should fully meet the criteria for authorship.
Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group alone does not constitute authorship, although all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgments section. Please refer to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship guidelines for more information on authorship.
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.
2.3.1 Writing Assistance
Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communciations company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual's name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance.
It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.
Any acknowledgements should appear first at the end of your article prior to your Declaration of Conflicting Interests (if applicable), any notes and your References.
International Journal of STD & AIDS requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests
It is the policy of International Journal of STD & AIDS to require a declaration of conflicting interests from all authors enabling a statement to be carried within the paginated pages of all published articles.
Please ensure that a 'Declaration of Conflicting Interests' statement is included at the end of your manuscript, after any acknowledgements and prior to the references. If no conflict exists, please state that 'The Author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest'.
For guidance on conflict of interest statements, please see the ICMJE recommendations here
2.6 Research ethics and patient consent
Medical research involving human subjects must be conducted according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki
Submitted manuscripts should conform to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, and all papers reporting animal and/or human studies must state in the methods section that the relevant Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board provided (or waived) approval. Please ensure that you have provided the full name and institution of the review committee, in addition to the approval number.
For research articles, authors are also required to state in the methods section whether participants provided informed consent and whether the consent was written or verbal.
Information on informed consent to report individual cases or case series should be included in the manuscript text. A statement is required regarding whether written informed consent for patient information and images to be published was provided by the patient(s) or a legally authorized representative.
Please also refer to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Protection of Research Participants
All research involving animals submitted for publication must be approved by an ethics committee with oversight of the facility in which the studies were conducted.
International Journal of STD & AIDS conforms to the ICMJE requirement that clinical trials are registered in a WHO-approved public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrolment as a condition of consideration for publication. The trial registry name and URL, and registration number must be included at the end of the abstract.]
The relevant EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines should be followed depending on the type of study. For example, all randomized controlled trials submitted for publication should include a completed Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) flow chart as a cited figure, and a completed CONSORT checklist as a supplementary file.

Joseph Coveney said:
-findit intraclass- brings up -loneway-, if that's what you're looking for.That would be great! It might make a good SJ article or note. I remember one thread on ICC in this list:
A few years ago, I adapted Robert M. Hamer's SAS macro that provided for all of
the intraclass correlation coefficients (and their confidence intervals)
described in P. E. Shrout and J. L. Fleiss, Intraclass correlations: Uses in
assessing rater reliability. _Psychological Bulletin_ 86:420-428, 1979. It
worked for balanced datasets (it called -anova-) for all of the various ICCs,
and for unbalanced datasets (it called -xtreg-) one type of ICC. StataCorp's
rewrite of -anova- a while back broke it for some reason that I wasn't able to
uncover. Datasets in practice are rarely nicely balanced, so there hasn't been
much incentive to fix it.
When -xtmixed- is available, I plan go back and re-work it, and add the
additional ICCs described in K. O. McGraw and S. P. Wong, Forming inferences
about some intraclass correlation coefficients. _Psychological Methods_ 1:30-
46, 1996.

Melatonin' the primary hormone of the pineal gland' acts as a powerful "chronobiotic'" helping to maintain normal circadian rhythms. In individuals having difficulty sleeping or with altered circadian rhythms' such as occur in jet lag and night shift work' supplementation with melatonin can help provide the resynchronization of those cycles' at amounts ranging from 0.3-8.0 mg. Synthesis of melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan can be decreased by the aging process. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant. Adequate melatonin levels have been reported to be a positive factor in cardiovascular' neuroendocrine' and bone health.
Melatonin administration exerts a sedative-like effect in amounts of 0.3-5.0 mg. When taken before onset of one's own melatonin secretion' even low amounts of melatonin can promote sleep. Melatonin is thought to potentiate the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via direct interaction with GABA receptors' thus resulting in relaxation. Research indicates melatonin exerts sleep-promoting action by decreasing the time to fall asleep' improving the ability to stay asleep' and enhancing the depth of sleep. Thorne's Melaton-3 supplies 3 mg of melatonin in each capsule. This potency is ideal for those individuals who may require a moderate amount of melatonin.

By NOla Mom
from New Orleans, LA
More than just a Sleep Aid
I have used Thorne products for more than 5 years now prescribed by an alternative/traditional MD. Melaton-3 by Thorne Research is one of a regimen for my son with high-functioning autism spectrum or Aspergers. It is part of a group of sleep aides for him as in teen years quieting down his brain for sleep has been a tough thing for him...he is a night owl which wont work with being in the world. It is also an anti-oxidant and it affects his functioning level in a very positive way ie. communication appropriate expression and overall mood.
Knowing that I can trust Melaton-3 by Thorne Research because I have a doctor that really knows who the best/purest companies are.

Preston Vance has launched a Kickstarter project to help fund the commercialisation of Flekt, a new flash modifier that softens the hard light emitted by your camera's pop-up flash. Flekt has three main parts; the magAttach hot-shoe adapter, an ignitor reflector that attaches to the front of the magAttach and redirects the light from the pop-up flash 180 degrees back, and an array of attachments that soften the light and bounce it back toward your subject. The first attachment is called the cFlekt, an accessory designed around a modified concave reflection principle, which attaches magnetically to the magAttach and can utilise white, silver and gold removable reflectors. While we are not entirely convinced that Flekt would indeed turn your humble in-camera flash into a studio-quality light source as claimed by the manufacturer, it could surely come in very handy when using your pop-up flash as an on-axis fill light, for example. If you are intrigued by the concept, check out the project's Kickstarter page for more information.

The Connected Car: Welcome To The Next Computing Environment
Posted by Charles Golvin on July 22, 2013

- 2 comments
Since the launch of General Motors' OnStar service in 1996, a portion of new cars has shipped with embedded cellular connections, making these vehicles part of the Connected World. Now, vehicle manufacturers are preparing to significantly increase the prevalence of these connections in their new products, and — more importantly — employ high-speed broadband in place of the narrowband modems of the past.
The connected vehicle is now emerging as a unique computing environment, distinct from the office, home, and on-the-go not just because it's in motion, but also because of its significant constraints and its composition of user- and vehicle-driven elements. Connected cars create opportunities for:
- Carmakers. Beyond the core telematics offerings like emergency calling and automatic accident notifications, automotive OEMs have begun to offer connected entertainment like Pandora and information services like Google search. But they've learned the hard lessons of OnStar, and, rather than attempting to drive revenue with these services, they are using connectivity to give more reasons for customers to choose and stick with the carmaker's brand.
- Mobile operators. Now that carriers' future revenue growth is being driven by customers adding devices to their plan and bumping up the associated allocation of megabytes, cars fit nicely alongside smartphones, tablets, and other data-hungry devices.
- Application developers. The dominant use model for applications in the car is yet to be proven — whether built-in, running purely on a personal device, or via a bridge between the two such as the Car Connectivity Consortium's MirrorLink technology. Irrespective of how they get used, applications will continue to be the innovative force that enables new experiences.
But the real engine (sorry) of the connected car experience is the transformation of the amalgam of vehicle and user data into usable and actionable information. That's why all manner of automotive outsiders, from infrastructure vendors to cloud specialists to analytics providers, are vying to position themselves as uniquely able to supply the mix of skills and tools needed to perform this alchemy. I invite our Forrester clients to read more in the new report "The Connected Car: Prepare For The Next Computing Environment."
There can be no debate as
Comment from Tim Kalenuik (not verified) on Tue, 07/23/2013 - 08:06
There can be no debate as with any technological advancement, this "Computing Car" has the potential for greatness.
The possibilities for these advancements are seemingly endless for the end users (Driver, Passenger, Mechanic, Sales Person ) I can't even begin to think of all the things a "connected" car could provide. I.E. There are countless sensors that can provide real-time feed back, which could now be available "Online" for analysis by those needing such information to trouble shoot, monitor and adjust fuel efficiencies real time, play your favorite tune after you hum a few bars. And let's be honest who wouldn't want to know how there 17 year young son is REALLY driving their car?
These advancements in innovation are also exquisitely desirable for the providers of them as well (auto manufacturer, ISP, App developers, insurance companies, and Government Agencies...don't think they wont spy on you John Q. Citizen. I think they have proven they will. ) And let's be honest what INSURANCE COMPANY wouldn't want to know how your 17 year young son is REALLY driving your car.
The question at hand here is not whether it is possible to make our cars "smart", in todays technologically advanced world that's a "no brainer". The underlying question is, in our political & economically driven environments, where information and cash are "POWER", how much of our "Personal Security" are we willing to risk to obtain the "Luxuries" we "should not be without?" How is better actually..."BETTER"? What must be sacrificed to achieve Better?
ONLY when those questions can be clearly answered will intelligent cars really be the answer to our driving frustrations. Other wise they may only add to them!
Important to me
Comment from Erick Ortega on Tue, 07/23/2013 - 08:42
What is important to me, as these advancements are implemented on vehicles today, is that it should not be isolated to the vehicle but rather always integrate with the outside world, like my mobile phone. I don't need to depend on a car display that cannot be upgraded and doesn't advance with time. Rather let the sensors be where they are but provide us with the means to collect, interpret and present the data through every day devices. These should not be limited to the vehicle.

Day 14...fried food poisoning
So. Today we once again started a little late...again.
But it had nothing to do with the fact that we were up late supporting the local winery.... erm
I felt like the whole day was slow and that jan was constantly egging me on. Otherwise im sure I wouldn't have made it this far.
The landscape was super hilly, and I felt like at the end of each hill, there was another ...
Legging it in France
... the high, glockenspiel sounds of the clock bells are ringing the hour, here at Givet, a lovely fortified town on the edge of the Meuse, bordering France and Belgium. We are parked on the edge of the river overlooking at the attractive old town, and can see the boats chugging past.
We still marvel at the wonderful places we have seen, and the many beautiful, park-up spots we have been able to enjoy: mulit - million dollar views for free. Oh la la! ...
The begining
... room for Charlotte and Bobby, our bedroom has a balcony if only we were awake enough to have a bottle of wine lol. When we arrived we checked in and got ourselves into the pool in double quick time. That was a lovely treat after all those miles. For tea we went into a nearby village called Florenville. We found a great Italian and had a beautiful meal! Yum!!! Bobby It was a long day travelling but we got there in the end to our luxurious ...
A day in Paris
Had a wonderful night's sleep as the hotel was very comfortable. We met Melinda and Michael for breakfast and then went our own ways. Bruno and I decided to go on a bus tour around the city as we had been here before, and thought this way we would see something different. The first bus took us around the champs �lys�es and then we changed buses to go to Montmartre because we hadn't been there last time.
When we arrived there, the amount of people was chaotic! Very touristy area but ...
Overnight at Charleville-de-Meziers
Monday morning dawns clear and sunny, and we set off for Charlesville de Meziers.
Apart from some heavy traffic, on the outskirts of Lille, a completely uneventful drive.
The Aire at Charlesville de Meziers is full, so, we have to use the adjacent campsite (Camping Mount Olympus ).
We have time for a walk into town, and a beer, before the rain starts.

A quiet breath, like horses galloping
The dark air is heavy, the night closing in.
There are thoughts at the edges
Hanging off the branches of the wind-battered oak,
Tottering with the walls of the old wooden shed,
Dripping from leaves and in droplets that run
In rivers down the lane-
And then there's the rain.
Footsteps fall like the closing of a tomb
And the words 'Don't go...'
Round the empty room.

Betreff: st: Save estimates in a data file
Dear Listers,
I've been trying to save the results of an analysis as a new data file.
The scenario is very simple. First I estimate some "means" with the command:
foreach x of local mm {
mean income if mm == `x', over( track)
mm = 1200
track = 10
Then, these estimated values (track number and mean value only) have to be saved in a new data file, specific to each "mm" value.
I've been trying to solve this with the command "estimates save" but I have not been able of doing it so.
My only option now is to generate the "means", with egen, directly on the data file, drop all other information and then save the file with a different name…. however I'm pretty sure that there might be a simpler/easier way of doing it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Two semicircle sit on the diameter of a semicircle centre O of
twice their radius. Lines through O divide the perimeter into two
parts. What can you say about the lengths of these two parts?
M is any point on the line AB. Squares of side length AM and MB are
constructed and their circumcircles intersect at P (and M). Prove
that the lines AD and BE produced pass through P.
The circumcentres of four triangles are joined to form a
quadrilateral. What do you notice about this quadrilateral as the
dynamic image changes? Can you prove your conjecture?
The following solution was sent by
The segments $CD$ and $EF$ are parallel.
$ABDC$ is a cyclic quadrilateral, therefore
angle $CDB$ + angle $CAB=180^{\circ}$ (1)
Angle $CAB$ and angle $BAE$ are adjacent angles on a straight
line so
angle $BAE$ + angle $CAB = 180^{\circ}$ (2)
From (1) and (2) we get
angle $CDB$ = angle $BAE$ (3)
Because $ABFE$ is a cyclic quadrilateral,
angle $BAE$ + angle $BFE = 180^{\circ}$ (4)
From (3) and (4) we get
angle $CDB$ + angle $BFE = 180^{\circ}$
so $CD$ is parallel to $EF$.

Properties of an Experimental Mouthguard Material
Robert Jagger, BDS, MScD, FDSRCS/Paul Milward, MPhil, MIMPT, LCGI/Mark Waters, BSc, PhD
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate some important mechanical properties of an experimental silicone material (PM1) to assess its potential as a mouthguard material. Materials and Methods: The hardness, tear strength, tensile properties, and energy absorption properties of the silicone material were determined and compared with those of 2 commercially available materials (Bioplast, a polyvinylacetate polyethylene, and Polyshield, a silicone). Results: Bioplast was significantly harder than Polyshield and PM1. Polyshield was significantly harder than PM1. Bioplast had a significantly higher tear strength than both Polyshield and PM1. The tensile strength of Bioplast was significantly greater than that of Polyshield and PM1. PM1 had a significantly higher tensile strength than Polyshield. Bioplast had a significantly lower energy absorption capacity at 500 N than both Polyshield and PM1, with PM1 having a significantly higher value than Polyshield. At 1,000 and 1,500 N, Bioplast had a significantly higher energy absorption than both Polyshield and PM1. Conclusion: It was concluded that PM1 showed better energy absorption properties than Polyshield and better energy absorption properties than Bioplast at lower impact forces. PM1 was softer and had better tear and tensile properties than Polyshield. The results of the present study suggest that the new material has a good potential for use as a mouthguard material.

How Much do Arcade Machines Cost?
While they may seem to be out-dated, arcade machines are still collected by some people and businesses. Whether you want them for show or want to play nostalgic games such as Android, the cost of an arcade machine is going to greatly vary. Depending on the game, the condition, and the rarity of the arcade machine, the prices can be all over the place.
How much is it?
- On average, arcade machines typically are going to range anywhere from $500 to $7,500. Keep in mind that these are your average machines and rare ones can easily fetch tens of thousands of dollars.
- If you are looking for some classic arcade games, such as Pac-man and Galaga, for example, the price will probably be $2,000 to $3,000 for a machine that is fully restored.
- For instance, ThePinballCompany.com has a large selection of different types of arcade machines. Here, their classic arcade machines that are restored retail for $1,700 to $2,500.
- A popular arcade such as Golden Tee Golf generally retails for $3,500 to $5,000 for the original machine. To this day, Golden Tee still creates an arcade game.
- Driving arcade games tend to be on the higher end of the price range noted above. A game such as Dirty Drivin' can retail for $7,000 to $9,000, while NASCAR Team Racing can be near the $6,500 mark.
- Higher tech touchscreen arcade games can retail for $2,500 to $5,000. These newer types of arcade games will usually sit on a table top and barely take up space like the older machines.
- GiantBoards.com claims that you should plan on spending anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 for a good arcade machine.
Machine Name
Price Estimate
Addams Family
$2,500 to $4,000
$2,100 to $3,100
$2,000 to $3,000
$1,500 to $2,100
$2,000 to $3,000
Dig Dug
$1,200 to $2,000
Donkey Kong
$1,000 to $2,500
$1,500 to $2,000
$1,800 to $2,600
$400 to $900
Marble Madness
$400 to $800
$1,200 to $2,000
Missile Command
$1,800 to $2,800
$1,500 to $2,900
Space Invaders
$1,800 to $2,800
What is going to be included?
- Older arcade games such as Pac-man and Galaga are typically going to be fully restored. This means that all of the non-working parts are replaced, but the original box will be in tact. If the box has any cosmetic issues, it will be touched up. Arcade machines that are not touched up or fully restored and are in original working order can fetch a lot more money.
- Typical arcade games will feature a joystick for each player, a handful of buttons, and a coin slot near the bottom. If the arcade machine is going to be used for personal use, the coin machine part can be bypassed; if you want to have the machine accept cash, you can do so. Most games can feature up to four players.
- Rather than a joystick, games such as Golden Tee Golf will feature a ball that resembles a golf ball instead of a joystick and driving games will feature a steering wheel, shifter, pedals and a handful of buttons. Every game will have its own unique features.
What are the extra costs?
- Due to the weight restrictions of these machines, most sellers online will charge for shipping. Depending on the type of delivery that you want, the costs can be anywhere from $350 to as much as $900. Higher end shipping will include full installation and delivery while a lower end delivery will just include a drop off at the front door.
- Arcade games tend to have a lot of problems, particularly in the cabinet area. If you do decide to pick one up, you will have to budget future repairs. A simple technician call can cost a minimum of $100.
Tips to know:
- DavesClassicArcade.com has a whole list of the machines that he has bought over the years. He also has stated what he has put into each machine. To date, he has invested more than $15,000.
- Consider other options such as MAME. This is an emulator designed to recreate the arcade game system. There are many cool setups that allow you to play hundreds of games for a relatively low price.
How can I save money?
- Depending on the machine that you want to buy, you may be better off purchasing it used. If you are going to buy used, try your best to see it in person to make sure that it is in working order.
- With so many retailers online that sell arcade machines, make sure that you research their reputation and see what previous customers are saying about them. The more homework that you do, the smoother your transaction will be.
- eBay has a large selection of machines from which you can choose.
- If you want an arcade machine to put in your place of business, there are companies that will rent them to you. This way, you can break even if not make some money by charging the customer per play. This also allows you to switch games every once in a while so that you can provide other options to your customers.

Double-pole 3-way switch exist?
I'm installing a 220v 7amp pump and wanted 2 switches. Is there such a thing as a double-pole 3-way switch? All I see are single pole in 3-ways. If not, is it ok to use single-pole 3-way's insteady (heavy duty)???
Sorry, a double pole 3-way switch does not exist. You have two options if you want to be compliant.
1) have a set of regular 3-ways switch a contactor that controls the power to the pump
2) have a set of regular 3-ways switch ONE hot leg of the power to the pump. Using this method, the switch no longer satisfies the "form of disconnect" requirement. You would need to have some form of disconnect at the pump (for when you service it) if you only switch one hot leg with your 3-ways. This may either be a cord and plug arrangement, or an actual double pole disconnect of any variety.

Former X Factor winner, and current Dancing On Ice contestant, Shayne Ward, has revealed that he blames the music mogul, Simon Cowell for his failed pop career.
Shayne won the 2005 reality talent show having been the firm favourite from the very first live show. He went on to release two, quite successful albums following his time in the competition, but then after his third album, obsession, failed to make the top ten in the charts, was dropped from his record label, Syco music.
Now Shayne, who toured with the hugely popular West End musical, Rock Of Ages, after his music career came to an abrupt halt, has said that he feels he was neglected by X Factor puppeteer, Simon Cowell, saying that music execs at Cowell's label did not spend enough time or effort on his career, instead focussing their efforts on other show winners such as Leona Lewis.
Speaking to New! magazine, Shayne, who has been paired with former DOI winning professional, Maria Filippov in this years series, admitted: "I'd be lying if I said it was fine — I'd have liked more attention."
The Manchester born singer is now hoping that his latest project, ITV's Dancing On Ice, will help reinvent him as an artist, and resurrect his singing career.
He continued: "People have got to remember that the label took me away for three years.
"That three years didn't do me any favours. I lost a large fanbase and released my Obsession album and before I knew it, I wasn't with a label."
However, despite this revelation, Shayne insists he has no hard feelings towards Cowell, claiming: "I don't see the point in being bitter.
"Let's just say better decisions could have been made on certain things. I'm very happy with what I achieved with the time I had with the label."
One of Shayne's, who is engaged to Trollied star Fay McKeever, last high-profile performances as a singer was at the 2010 X Factor finals.

Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday at 6.15pm on ITV1/ITV1 HD

The Master Builder HTML version
Act Third
The large broad verandah of SOLNESS'S dwelling-house. Part of the house, with outer
door leading to the verandah, is seen to the left. A railing along the verandah to the right.
At the back, from the end of the verandah, a flight of steps leads down to the garden
below. Tall old trees in the garden spread their branches over the verandah and towards
the house. Far to the right, in among the trees, a glimpse is caught of the lower part of the
new villa, with scaffolding round so much as is seen of the tower. In the background the
garden is bounded by an old wooden fence. Outside the fence, a street with low, tumble-
down cottages.
Evening sky with sun-lit clouds.
On the verandah, a garden bench stands along the wall of the house, and in front of the
bench a long table. On the other side of the table, an arm-chair and some stools. All the
furniture is of wicker-work.
MRS. SOLNESS, wrapped in a large white crepe shawl, sits resting in the arm-chair and
gazes over to the right. Shortly after, HILDA WANGEL comes up the flight of steps
from the garden. She is dressed as in the last act, and wears her hat. She has in her bodice
a little nosegay of small common flowers.
[Turning her head a little.] Have you been round the garden, Miss Wangel?
Yes, I have been taking a look at it.
And found some flowers too, I see.
Yes, indeed! There are such heaps of them in among the bushes.
Are there, really? Still? You see I scarcely ever go there.
[Closer.] What! Don't you take a run down into the garden every day, then?

A prediction: This Sunday's Over the Limit pay per view will draw one of the smallest buy rates of any WWE show in quite a while.
Part of it has to do with the fairly lackluster card and the fact that it is an "off-month" show without much of a hook to lure in fans. But, mainly, it has to do with WWE's competition for viewers on Sunday night – the epic series finale of the ABC series Lost.
Wrestling companies blaming low viewership on strong competition is nothing new. Some of it is valid, and much of it is not. We get an almost weekly dose of such excuses during football season. More recently, TNA blamed its unmitigated failure on Monday nights on fans being torn between watching Impact and Raw. (It would seem they weren't that torn.)
But in this case, WWE may legitimately be facing some of its toughest competition in years. Lost averaged about 14 million viewers over its first five seasons, and has been doing huge numbers as of late as it approaches its series finale this Sunday. ABC has blocked off its entire night for the television event, beginning at 7 p.m.
Unquestionably, there is a big crossover in WWE's core audience of men between the ages of 18-34 and Lost's fanbase. But putting that aside, the final episode of the series about a magical island and the castaways who inhabit it promises to be a television event on the level of the final episode of M*A*S*H*, Dallas and The Sopranos.
And how is WWE counter-programming the big show? Well, we've got a world title match between the still-unproven WWE World champ Jack Swagger and part-time main eventer The Big Show. A couple title matches involving up and comers such as the Hart Dynasty and Drew McIntyre. And for the third time in as many pay per views, Batista will wrestle John Cena and Rey Mysterio will wrestle C.M. Punk.
I don't mean to criticize the show, which features a good use of much of the younger talent that WWE has recently been investing in. But it's fair to say that this is far from a loaded line-up.
…Which makes me wonder. Is it possible that WWE deliberately held back on offering a strong line-up once it realized it would be going head-to-head with the final curtain call of Hurley, Sawyer and "The Smoke Monster?"
Conspiracy theories aside, WWE should brace itself for what promises to be a smaller than usual television audience Sunday night. WWE should just accept that fact and, come Monday, "move on" – just as Jack has implored Locke to do.
What will you be watching?

An espresso desire to negotiate
Talk is mostly negotiation. It's a constant re-contracting. Negotiating with each other so that our shared understandings comfortably align. It's a jostling, a gently co-operative jostling. Each party orients towards the same goal - to speak, as it were, with one voice or at least one mind. To be, as they say, on the same page. Society needs us to be gung-ho about social harmony. The opposite is war.
It is not only talk as it happens at the highest Bush-Blairesque level. It's down on the ground, too, in and among the quotidian tasks of living, that talk is no less a constantly unfolding negotiation.
"Skim milk latte. Strong," said the spiky-haired waiter, with the trainee manager badge pinned next to "Nathan", as he positioned the coffee before me. Grammatically, his was a full-bodied statement; no hint of the upward arc of a question. It had the rhythm and certainty of "The doctor is unavailable at this time" or "Your call is important to us".
Why is he telling me what he knows I know? Perhaps he is not so much informing as cautioning. It might be a gentle warning. Here I am, next to your left elbow. No sudden moves or you'll have a wet, sore lap and spiky-haired Nathan will be looking for a new job. But why say anything? A polite, ever-so-slight throat-clearing would serve. When you're doing it 10,000 times a day, you must want to minimise your output.
I smell a subtext. Could it be this: "Excuse me, ma'am. Here's your coffee - a skim milk latte and it's strong. I realise you can't tell, just from looking at it, that it is the coffee you ordered, but before any seeds of doubt take root behind your ever-so-minimally furrowed brow, be aware that I got the order right because, notice, I've memorised it and can say it on cue." But maybe it's part of the script or the protocol, a quality-assurance mechanism. As if to say: "This is what I've brought you. If it conforms to your order, then there's no turning back. This is your last chance to say, 'Bloody hell! Where's my short black?"'
But is your "strong" and my "strong" the same strong? Maybe one ought never anticipate. To lower stress, adjust your expectations. Don't assume that what I say is what someone else hears. Uptake is all about interpretation. The notion of "a good coffee" is in one's head. We have to come to terms with this, understand the barrier separating real from ideal. Optimism is important.
If the "strong" turns out to be wrong? We might negotiate. "Could you add a bit more coffee?" Meaning, "My idea of 'strong' is stronger than your idea of 'strong'. Let's make an adjustment so as to bring our two notions more closely together." Probably they'd remake it or maybe just add a shot of espresso. Each repair advances the understandings closer to the state of sharedness and harmony.
The onus is on the coffee drinker. In Leichhardt, I wouldn't add "strong". But in a modern Australian, upmarket but non-ethnic cafe I might. This way the beverage-as-served will approximate the beverage-as-ordered. Words, after all, don't carry their meanings around with them. Everything is relative. Context prevails. A rose in a wheatfield is a weed.
An attractive philosophy. It allows expectations to be blurry-edged. Sometimes you go backwards before going forwards and that's OK, too. Then again, if tea turned out to be much simpler I could make the switch, no worries.
