Eric Clapton's Fender Stratocaster 'most desired by musicians'
Eric Clapton's 'Blackie' Fender Stratocaster is the electric guitar musicians would most like to own.
This is according to a poll carried out by Allianz Musical Insurance at Guitar Nation Live, which found the instrument was more desired than close competitors such as Jimmy Page's double-neck Gibson guitar and the Stratocaster played by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The top five also included places for the electric guitar designed and owned by Les Paul, as well as Brian May's Red Special.
Robin Stagg, Allianz Musical Insurance's claims manager and an electric guitar player himself, said: "It's great to see that the UK still has a strong rock star tradition."
Earlier this month, Gibson announced it is going to recreate another famous instrument used by Clapton.
His Les Paul 'Beano' is to be reproduced by the company, with the guitar notably used on the John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton.

Legislation pending before the Connecticut General Assembly would establish a tax amnesty to run from September 16, 2013, through November 15, 2013. The "carrot" being offered under the amnesty program is a 75 percent reduction in the interest due -- from 12 percent per year to 3 percent -- which could represent substantial savings. In addition, all civil penalties will be waived and no criminal prosecution will be sought. (Filing for amnesty constitutes a waiver of all rights of appeal or to claim a refund, however.)
If you have a matter pending before the Department of Revenue Services (the "Department") that is likely to conclude soon, you may want to wait to see if the amnesty is enacted. (The regular legislative session ends on June 5, 2013, but it is not clear if the budget issues, of which amnesty is a part, will be resolved by then.)
In a change from prior Connecticut amnesties, taxpayers will be eligible even if they currently are under audit or have been notified of a pending audit. The amnesty will apply to all Connecticut taxes other than the Motor Carrier Road Tax.
Amnesty will not be available to any person who (i) is a party to any criminal investigation or to any civil or criminal litigation that is pending on July 1, 2013; (ii) is a party to a closing agreement with the Department; (iii) has made an offer of compromise that has been accepted by the Department; or (iv) is a party to a managed Sales and Use Tax audit agreement.
The proposed amnesty also contains a "stick." Any person owing a tax for a period ending on or before November 30, 2013, that has not filed an otherwise required return and that does not file for amnesty with respect to that period shall be subject to an additional non-waivable penalty of 25 percent of the tax owed for such period.

Stephen Ziobrowski was quoted in an article, "7 Tips For Simplifying Tax Writing," in Law360. The article outlines best practices for tax lawyers to draft contracts and court documents. "Tax law is a foreign language, so you have to do some translation if you're putting it into written documents," said Ziobrowski in the article. "If you're aiming for a particular tax result in a transaction, it won't do any good to have all the right magic words on the document and then people don't understand what they're supposed to do."

Cusp Signs
Something for the cusp signs, which you may not know.
The dates for the start/end of the star signs you see in magazines are just averages! That is why in some magazines you see one date for the start or end of one sign and in another magazine it could be completely different!
What happens every year, is that the start/end dates of the signs are different from each other and what modern astrology has done is to average it out to show the most common start/end dates.
This means, if you are born right on the cusp, you need to check out a chart calculating tool to find what star sign you actually are, because you could have been thinking you were a Cancer say, but you actually are a Gemini or vice versa. This applies for any of the cusp signs – if you are born on or around the day of change-over from one sign to the next, you could have thought you were one sign, but you are actually the other sign.
Now for those people who think they have elements of both, that is because you probably have the other sign somewhere prominent in your chart – in one of your personal planets (such as Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars).
That is how astrology works.

A walk in Brickfields
Brickfields is a small to medium-sized town and residential neighborhood located just outside central Kuala Lumpur.
It is known as Kuala Lumpur's Little India due to the high percentage of Indian residents and businesses.
A Saturday morning walk with simplyRobin as we stormed and ventured the streets of Brickfields, which was something new to us and would likely to add it to our list of "streets to attack".
The same eye opening environment that you can find in any backalley
A view of one of the backalley in Brickfields
No, it's not an abandoned car
Yes, this is an abandoned car
Uncle with tri-cycle.
Mind me, his look was like this before I even shot him. Is this what you call the "WTF" look?
Getting directions on the phone when you can't see?
To me, being able to walk (not drive) around in Brickfields and experience the lifestyle there is something different.
Yes, to you the streets may look the same, be it Pudu, Chow Kit, Petaling Street but when you actually pay attention to the details, every street is different and every street has its own story.
The vast growing sky scrapers with old buildings on its foreground
Finally, someone to actually model for the camera. Just a smile needed.
Future footballer?
Hardcore tattoo-ed uncle. He has amazing tattoos I must admit
A smile a day, keeps folks happy all day
A helping hand. What more can you ask for.
It was an exciting walk indeed, apart from the fact that I didn't know the streets well but still manage to catch a glimpse of the activities going on there.
A death with no questions?
It is things like this that you don't see everyday.

Filed Under:
anti-trust, politics
doubleclick, google
Declan McCullagh has a great post pointing out Congressional Republicans' recent flip-flop on antitrust scrutiny of big corporate mergers. During the telecom consolidations of the last few years, powerful Republicans like Joe Barton and Fred Upton pressed regulatory agencies to approve the mergers quickly with minimal scrutiny. But now that Google wants to buy DoubleClick, House Republicans have gotten the antitrust religion. A letter signed by 12 Republican Congressmen, including former House Speaker Denny Hastert, demands that the House commence hearings on the Google-DoubleClick proposal because "the privacy implications of such a merger are enormous." As Declan astutely observers, the telecom companies that Republicans waved through last year gave generously to Republican legislators, whereas Google's board and senior executives have tended to give to Democrats. It seems like there might be a connection there.
As troubling as this behavior is, we shouldn't be too surprised. Antitrust law was supposed to be about preventing any one company from accumulating excessive market power, but regulators have long been in the habit of considering factors far afield from the proposed company's market share. Earlier this year, 70 Congressmen urged the FCC to block the XM-Sirius merger on the laughable theory that the merged company wouldn't have any competition, an argument that was being pushed primarily by XM and Sirius's many competitors in the terrestrial radio business. And last fall the two Democratic members of the FCC used the AT&T-Bell South merger as a pretext to force AT&T to accept network neutrality rules for 30 months, despite the fact that antitrust law doesn't say anything about network neutrality.
Even if you like network neutrality rules or are worried about the privacy implications of the DoubleClick deal, you should be even more troubled at the way this ad hoc process undermines the rule of law. It's Congress's job to pass new regulations on subjects like network neutrality and privacy. When Congress passes legislation, it applies equally to everyone in the industry, limiting favoritism. But the way the antitrust process currently works gives politicians and bureaucrats the opportunity to single out individual companies for special treatment. If a company hasn't given enough campaign contributions to the right members of Congress (as XM and Sirius hadn't), its merger request is likely to be weighed down with a raft of burdensome conditions, or denied altogether on spurious grounds. Behavior like we've seen from the House Republicans will be commonplace as long as regulators have virtually unchecked authority to approve or reject mergers.

At the same time, were democrats working to slow down the mergers? It seems like a 2 way street.
