The party's over — for now, at least — at Chinatown hot spot Santos Party House, which was shut down indefinitely Thursday night, right before one of the busiest club-hopping weekends of the year. Santos — which was scheduled to host downtown cult band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black at a Halloween-night record-release bash before the plug was pulled — was cited by the NYPD for having "criminal sale or possession of controlled substances" inside. A Santos rep blamed the shutdown on "minor incidents that occurred months ago" and said the club is expected to reopen after a hearing tomorrow.

AUGUSTA — Julie Gilbert is reaching out to a familiar face from the past to bring something both new and traditional to the annual Penney Memorial Christmas Cantata.
Gilbert is choir director of the free annual cantata, a multi-faceted concert featuring the choir, children's choir, soloists and this year's special guest performers, the Cony Madrigals. She first participated as a singer in the choir at the first such event, 25 years ago, under then-choir director Robert Wyllie.
This year's 25th anniversary event will feature a Southern gospel take on traditional Christmas music, as well as the return of the event's creator, Wyllie.
"I'm honored to have an opportunity to direct one of the numbers they're going to be doing. That was Julie's idea, I appreciate it," said Wyllie, 84, of Warren, who started playing the organ at Penney Memorial in 1968 and started the annual Christmas concert in 1987. "Some of the people singing in the choir sang when I directed the Living Christmas Tree. It will be nice to renew acquaintances."
The annual cantata at the Water Street church begun some 25 years ago has changed over the years. For starters, the large wooden Living Christmas Tree, which used to hold up to 46 singers on multiple platforms in a tree-shaped towering structure, is no longer used. Gilbert said they stopped using it a few years ago because it took two days of work to erect it, and the people involved in helping with that were aging and it was hard to find new participants to help out.
However, many aspects of the annual event at Penney Memorial United Baptist Church and the people who help pull it off haven't changed.
"It's a wonderful time. It's one of the few times where we all get together as friends and family and sing together," Gilbert said. "It's still the same group of people. We just don't form a tree. This was, and is, for the community. It's at the church, but really it's an outreach to the entire community. Everybody is welcome."
Wyllie will direct "Silent Night," which he used to close the concerts he directed for about 10 years, starting in 1987.
"I felt it was time to reach back and connect," Gilbert said of Wyllie. "He's the most energetic person you'll meet. It feels good to go back."
Wyllie oversaw the Living Christmas Tree, now called Christmas Cantata, concerts for about 10 years before Gilbert took over as choir director. He then moved on to a church in Thomaston, much closer to his Warren home, where he started another Living Christmas Tree, which he said is still active and just underwent its 16th annual performance.
The Penney Memorial Christmas Cantata is scheduled for Sunday with shows at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Gilbert said one challenge is keeping the annual event fresh. This year the new twist to the Christmas theme is the Southern gospel music. Organizers and performers spend about seven weeks getting ready for the cantata, and the performances are well-attended.
"There will be some spirituals and some Christmas carols people know, but we'll do them in a new way," Gilbert said.

I've posted about the weather and predicting the weather that was used by many in the 19th century. Sometimes these predictions held true and sometimes they didn't. Below is a post from the Meteorological tables and Climatology of Vermont ©1877 that I believe shows a nice overview of how 19th century man understood the atmosphere.
It is desirable that all should have a general understanding of our atmosphere, and the laws by which our storms are regulated or produced, and to render such instructive I shall say something of the history of Meteorological' Science, and also of familiar signs as well as instrumental observations. Two hundred and fifty years ago it was not known that we had an atmosphere. All the phenomena it produces were explained upon other principles, some of them showing the wildest theories and the most absurd ideas. The creation of the atmosphere as declared in Genesis, as the "firmament" dividing the waters, was not understood. A vague and unmeaning explanation was given it. When it was discovered that there was in reality an aeriform fluid surrounding the earth, possessing weight, color, power of diffusing light and heat, and necessary to the existence of all animal and vegetable life, it struck with wonder and astonishment all the learned throughout the world. So wonderful and incredible did it at first appear, that it was not until after the lapse of several years, till opinions which had prevailed for ages were overthrown,'and the most decisive experiments had been performed in every possible way, that it was cordially received. This atmosphere is composed mainly of two gases, nitrogen and oxygen. It was, however, less than eighty years ago, supposed to be a simple body, but is now known to be composed of about eighty parts by measure of nitrogen, and twenty parts of oxygen. It may be necessary to offer a few remarks on these gases, opposite in their nature ; entering into no chemical union, yet being combined in so exact proportion as to support animal and vegetable life, and the smallest change, perhaps, detrimental to either. Oxygen gas is eminently the supporter of combustion, and ignited substances burn in it with the most intense brilliancy. Even shavings of zinc and iron may be ignited, by dipping the ends in melted brimstone, and introducing them into this gas while the brimstone is on fire. They then burn with intense heat and give a peculiar light, exemphiying the fact that if our globe was surrounded by an increased amount of oxygen, many now incombustible substances could be burned.
Nitrogen gas is exactly opposite in quality. It will extinguish fire as well as water, and will soon kill any animal that breathes it uncombined with oxygen. Yet four fifths of the air we breathe is this noxious substance.
Oxygen is the life-giving element, and as this is largely consumed in combustion and respiration, and by those processes replaced by an equal volume of carbonic acid, which is detrimental to animal life, it would seem that the atmosphere would at length become deleterious. This would be the case, were it not for vegetation, which by aid of the sun's rays, absorbs the carbonic acid, and gives off, after the appropriation of the carbon, oxygen for the animal. Thus the animal and vegetable mutually support each other; I say support, as breathing affords three fourths of our own nourishment; leaving the other quarter, only, to be supplied by food. With this unceasing metamorphosis in beings and things, goes on a continuous exchange, by virtue of which the gases of the atmosphere take up their abode in animal and plant. Each atom of air, therefore, passes from life to life as it escapes from death after death, being in turn wind, flood, animal, plant, or flower, being successively employed in the composition of thousands of plants and animals.
It is the inexhaustible source from whence everything that lives draws much the largest share of its support, and into which everything that dies contributes. Under its action vegetables and animals are brought into existence and then perish.
Life and death are alike taken in at every respiration, and the atom of oxygen which escapes from the blade of grass may find its way into the lungs of the infant in the cradle; or the last sigh of a dying man go to nourish the brilliant petal of a flower.


text: Just got my droid was ready to return but trying to work it out. All of a sudden my contacts don't match my gmail contacts. For example I have a friend Bobby who is not listed in my phone anymore but it is under my gmail contacts. I wiped out my phone contacts and let it resynch and it still does not show up. If I type in his number it comes up under another contact I have which is Robbie. If I go into Robbie's contact and edit it will then show the name Bobby and his number but only when I hit edit. I love the phone but this is a pain. Also I have my number blocked for business purposes and have all my contacts programmed in as *82 and without it so I can text. I was able to call the preprogrammed *82 contacts now it won't let me. I have to dial it manually even though it is listed in my contacts. Any help is appreciated

Transmedia Project Design: Ethos
Ethos is the "explicit and implicit ethics of the world and (moral) codex of behavior which characters in the world are supposed to follow" (Klastrup & Tosca, 2004). It is the knowledge needed to "know how to behave in the world" and that defines what is acceptable or inappropriate behavior in that world (Klastrup & Tosca, 2004). These questions will help in the creation of the storyworld's ethos.
- Is the ethos easily understood?
- Does it provide the reader/viewer with an understanding of how characters behave in the world and what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. (Storyworld Level Design Tasks)
- Social values
- Codes of behavior
- Implicit ethics
- Explicit ethics
- Are the mythos, topos, and ethos consistent with the conventions of the genre? (Storyworld Level Design Tasks)

The liberal media elite piled into David Bradley's Embassy Row mansion in northwest Washington DC on Monday night to celebrate PBS anchor Gwen Ifill's book The Breakthrough, touting the ascent of black Democrats in the Age of Obama. (FishBowl DC has a nice photo of the hope-and-change Barack Obama cookies at the party.)
So didn't writing this book taint her as a debate moderator? Ifill told the book party crowd no, the "truth" won out and the question-raising conservative bloggers (like NewsBusters) lost. From the New York Observer:
Back in September on the eve of the Vice Presidential debate, conservative bloggers had attacked her impartiality as a moderator, alleging that her book about Mr. Obama would bias her in the Democrats' favor.
"Of course, there was the moment when everyone decided they knew what the book was about before I had even finished writing it," said Ms. Ifill on Monday night. "I thought, 'Well that's fine. Truth will out. I will just survive it.' And I did."
But how would this book prove conservative bloggers were wrong? There's only one chapter on Obama, but its primary spokesmen are Obama campaign advisers like David Plouffe.
There are no chapters about black Republicans or conservatives. They apparently are no part of a black "Breakthrough," since they did not win -- in part because liberal journalists like Ifill won't give them the time of day.
An excerpt of the book at MSNBC.com hints pretty clearly that Ifill had a rooting interest in an Obama breakthrough:
It is easy to overlook change when it happens, even when it is as dramatic and historic as this year's breakthrough Presidential election. But as I stood at Denver's Invesco Field on the night Barack Obama accepted his party's nomination for President, I swear I could feel the rumbling under my feet.
For one night, all of the friction and below-the-radar political positioning each had endured — much of it obscured by Obama's meteoric rise — was on display. It was a rare lightning stroke moment that finally illuminated the dramatic shift in tone, message and leadership that has forced a redefinition of black politics and of black politicians. It was the Age of Obama, in full effect.
On television, that sparkling night in Denver appeared to be all about a Presidential nomination. But in the stadium itself, it was about so much more. It was about the past, and about progress and about race — the most divisive issue in the nation's history. And it provided a convenient yardstick with which to measure what the change Obama talked so much about could really mean. Before my eyes, I was able to witness the romance and achievement of 1960s civil rights marches bearing fruit, as the lions of the movement mingled with the up and comers. Some had been slow to embrace Barack Obama. Some had been quick. But, this night, all wanted to bear witness...
To be clear right off the bat, I do not believe this to be a "post-racial" moment, as so many have claimed. After talking to scores of people for this book, I am still not even entirely sure what that term means. My well-reported suspicion is that it is the type of code language that conveniently means different things to different people. For those interested in resisting any discussion of racial difference, it is an easy way to embrace the mythic notion of color blindness. For civil rights veterans, it is a term that sparks outrage. (Why is getting "past" race considered to be a good thing? Does that make race a bad thing?) For some up and coming politicians hoping to build their success on erasing, rather than maintaining lines of difference, the idea has some appeal....
The breakthrough has not occurred overnight, although it sometimes seems as if it did. There were critical moments along the way. In 2006, five black men ran for governor or U.S. Senate in Ohio, Maryland, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Three were Republicans. That was a breakthrough. But in the end, only one — Patrick — won.

Los Angeles: Singer Miley Cyrus's meeting with seven-year-old Miley Hodge, a patient of bone cancer, didn't go as smoothly as it was planned to be, sources have said.
Hodge suffers Stage IV Osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer, and doctors told her family in December 2013 that she has just four to six months to live. It is then that her family reached out to Make-A-Wish, who granted the little one a chance to meet a celebrity of her choice.
Her first choice was Justin Bieber, but since the meeting couldn't work out, Hodge decided to meet pop star Miley Cyrus.
However, according to radaronline.com, it didn't turn out to be a pleasant meeting for the young girl.
"From what I know, it was not a very good experience for them," said Brandon Deboer, a family friend.
Another family acquaintance added: "The family went to Los Angeles and were put off for nearly a week before they met (Cyrus). They finally met at the recording studio and from what I understand, Cyrus was more interested in what she was doing in the studio than paying attention to the little girl."
Nevertheless, Hodge's father Bert has said that the family was "grateful for the chance to meet Cyrus in person."
"My daughter met one of her idols. Period," he said.
Little Miley still wishes to meet "Baby" hitmaker Bieber.

iPhone concept designs give those with a skill for 3D modelling a great outlet for their creative side, and we've seen some truly exceptional artwork and videos created by those who have tried to imagine what a future iPhone will look like. What makes so many of these concepts so great is that their designers don't worry about such trivial things as whether the concept is actually able to be produced or not, and removing those boundaries can result in some excellent designs.
Take this latest iPhone 7 concept video, created by DBS Videography in collaboration with I'm Technologies as a prime example of that. Watching the pair's near two-minute concept video will give you an idea as to what an iPhone could be like if all of our wishes came true. An iPhone 7 that looks infinitely more interesting than the one we are being led to expect due to various hardware leaks, this concept doesn't just look awesome, but it has theoretical brawn to go with those aesthetics.
The most striking part of the concept is the screen. Filling the entire face of the device, except for two small areas at the top and bottom for boring things like the Home button, the earpiece and front-facing camera, the 5-inch screen on the iPhone 7 concept features a 4K resolution, just as the screen in the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus.
Speaking of cameras, by the way, the rear-facing camera in this concept is a 24-megapixel affair, so great photos for everyone! The display wraps itself around the edges of both devices, allowing for digital volume controls and a new space for notifications, much like in Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge.
If we had to be absolutely honest, if the iPhone 7 did actually look like this, we would be overjoyed. We wouldn't even need the pie in the sky internals either – just give us this device with a spruced up iPhone 6s inside and we reckon we would quite happily take that.
We suspect many others would, too.

The Business program at The King's College in NYC is spectacular. The professors are amazing and being in NYC is so helpful to score internships and part-time jobs. I chose this degree for its practicality and was not disappointed. The education focuses on becoming a well-rounded individual and less focus on skills (though you get plenty). Honestly, in today's world, having a solid understanding of the world is more important than skills because you'll just learn them on the job anyway.

Lady Gaga, ex-lover withdraw dueling lawsuits
Rob Fusari sued for $30 million, claimed to coin her nameA legal battle between pop sensation Lady Gaga and her former producer and lover has ended, a Gaga spokeswoman said on Friday.
Producer Rob Fusari had sued his one-time protege for more than $30 million, claiming he was instrumental to her success but unable to profit from it when their romance ended.
He contended in his March lawsuit that he was a key figure in transforming the ambitious young woman named Stefani Germanotta into the pop phenomenon she is today, even helping coin her moniker, Lady Gaga.
Gaga countersued days later alleging the early agreement she had with Fusari was illegal and that she did not owe him one cent.
Both suits were dismissed by the New York State Supreme Court in late August and the decision was made public this week.
A spokeswoman for Lady Gaga said in a statement on Friday the double Grammy-award winner and Fusari "have agreed to end their dispute amicably and wish each other well."
"Rob Fusari is a Grammy Award-winning producer and co-writer of 'Paparazzi' and a number of other songs on Lady Gaga's debut album 'The Fame'," the statement said.
An attorney for Fusari did not immediately return calls for comment. It was not clear whether any money had exchanged hands.
Lady Gaga has cultivated a rabid fanbase with her performance art shows and hits such as "Bad Romance" and "Alejandro". She has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide.
Fusari's lawsuit detailed how the singer met Fusari in March 2006 through a mutual friend. Initially unimpressed by her appearance, he asked her to sing and was "within seconds" blown away.
"Fusari thought Germanotta's songs were brilliant but lacked commercial appeal. He pushed her to explore different musical genres," his lawsuit said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S.-led forces stepped up air operations in Iraq against Islamic State positions, with 29 of 39 air strikes in the country on Sunday coming near the Anbar provincial capital Ramadi, the Combined Joint Task Force leading the air operations said in a statement on Monday.
There also were nine air strikes in Syria targeting Islamic State forces with bomber, fighter-attack and drone aircraft, seven coming near Al Hasakah and one each near Raqqah and Kobani, according to the statement.
Iraqi troops and Shi'ite Muslim militia forces attacked Islamic State fighters on several fronts on Monday in Anbar province at the start of what is likely to be a long and fiercely contested offensive.
The U.S. military statement said air strikes were conducted in Iraq on Sunday near seven cities using bomber, attack, fighter-attack and drone aircraft.
Most came near Ramadi, according to the statement, targeting Islamic State staging areas, excavators, an armored personnel carrier and another vehicle. Other air strikes in Iraq came near Al Huwayjah, Habbaniyah, Hit, Makhmur, Sinjar and Tal Afar, the statement said.U.S. steps up air strikes on Islamic State targets in Iraq: statement

Four best achievements from 2013
As the end of the year approaches and I start to do some posts looking back (end of year statistics and end of year questionaire following in the next two days!), I wanted to highlight the fivethings that I was most proud of achieving this year, that I did not expect to achieve at the start of 2013, although one of them I hoped to achieved.
I could write more about all of these experiences, but I'll just link to the relevant posts. As my mood is particularly low at present, it's good to remember that I can surpass my own expectations and achieve some pretty awesome things - by both my standards and other people's.
1. Completing a half marathon and doing so in under 2 hours AND negatively splitting it.
2. My first ever first place in a race (even if I was disappointed with my time) and trophy!
3. Being featured in a National magazine talking about mental health and triathlon. Here is a link to the article which I have found online.
4. Completing a half ironman.
5. Racing for Team GB at the Age Group World Aquathlon Championships (and consequently becoming the 45th best 25-29 year old IN THE WORLD at Aquathlon).

We need this guy back or someone else after the Confederations Cup. Chepo is Vergara's boy and should have been Vucetich. Hopefully he won't have bigger say in the next selection process.
Vela needs to get back into the squad and help his country!
Have to say, I was a bit disappointed with Mexico. Can't remember when they abandoned 3-4-3 but I do recall some nice displays when they played that system.
Talk about getting help from your biggest rival to keep your Brazil hopes alive.
Mexico's last four goals: penalty, penalty, penalty, own goal.
It's been a terrible tournament overall
Any1 watched this game?
It was action packed! and what an ending lol
I liked that Lozano guy. He came in late as a sub. Dude's got pace!

Why not a novel in verse? It's all a question of expectations, and in The Golden Gate the Indian-born poet Vikram Seth single-handedly overturns most readers' expectations about what can, and cannot, pass as a novel. Whatever the frame of mind in which you begin it, by the end it has come to seem the most natural – and the most accessible, and easily assessable – thing in the world. One takes the poetic dexterity for granted, and begins to see its faults as a novel. Perhaps neither reaction is wholly fair to the author, but it is he who has taken a gamble and broken the rules.
The Golden Gate is written in the stanza form of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, made familiar to English readers by Sir Charles Johnston's Penguin Classics translation, which Seth handsomely acknowledges. The use of this form to tell a story of contemporary Californian life would have daunted a less determined and self-assured writer – though at least 'Onegin' can be rhymed with 'Reagan':
How can I (careless of time) use
The dusty bread molds of Onegin
In the brave bakery of Reagan?
The answer is that he can, and does. The chief characteristic of Pushkin's tetrameter lines is their swiftness. The sonnet form allows for a deft underlining of each stage in the narration. This form has none of the ponderousness of English verse narratives in the Miltonic tradition. It fairly races along with (Seth's joke, not Pushkin's) 'the curt beat/ Of itchy soles and athletes' feet'.
The Golden Gate is in no sense a pastiche of Eugene Onegin, though both books are concerned with the romantic entanglements of gilded youths. Seth's characters are not Russian transplants, but Californians seen in their native habitat. We begin and end with John, an upwardly-mobile computer scientist whose work is connected (just how is never made clear) with nuclear weapons manufacture. At the age of 26, John belatedly realises that he is a workaholic with no private life. Jan, an ex-girlfriend, diagnoses his trouble and secretly inserts a heartsearch ad for another lonely workaholic: 'Young handsome yuppie seeks ...' The replies from female yuppies (real and pretended) come pouring in, and John meets the significantly-named Liz Dorati.
John's background is half-English, but we are invited to make little of that, or of any of the presumed contents of his mind. Some lip-service is paid to nanoseconds and megabytes, and in his spare time, we are told, he 'likes to read/ Eclectically from Mann to Bede'. If so, he reads merely from boredom, since it has no measurable effects upon his life. There could hardly be a more striking contrast with Pushkin's characters. Onegin and his Tatyana may not have been great readers, but they were steeped in a well-defined cultural and literary tradition stretching from Richardson to Rousseau and Byron. They tended to re-enact the romantic roles that their contemporaries had become so excited about. In The Golden Gate the choice is between a hereditary and pastoral mode of life (Liz Dorati's parents are wine-growers), the culture of protest and rock music, and the 'yuppie' state of mental and imaginative barrenness.

Shaving cream and listerine - odd combo, right? Well, that is the combo for a foot soak for cracked heels.
I love pinterest, and found this "recipe" for getting rid of dead skin on your feet. I have horrible feet, which is why there will be no before/after pics lol
I as with most things on pinterest, I just HAD to try it. And, you know what - I think I got pretty good results. It might be fair to say that I MAY have gotten the same results if I just wrapped my feet in a warm wet towel. But, my feet really did tingle, so I think it did something more than just water.
I used gerenic listerine in the original kind, the yellow/gold one. I used cheap shaving cream, barbasol, because I sure as hell was not gonnna use the expensive stuff lol.
I will probably do it again :)

Non-approved schemes: contributions made by employer
Section 386 ITEPA 2003
Note: Section 386 ITEPA 2003 is repealed with effect from 6 April 2006 by Section 247 FA 2004. Any contributions on or after that date are not taxable under Section 386. There is no equivalent to that Section in connection with employer-financed retirement benefits schemes
For information about an employee's contributions see EIM15414.
An employer's contribution to a non-approved retirement benefits scheme counts as employment income (see EIM00512) of an employee to the extent that the contribution is made with a view to the provision of relevant benefits (as defined at EIM15403) for that employee or others (see EIM15409). See example at EIM15420. Separately identifiable costs incurred by an employer in setting up or administering a scheme are not chargeable on employees under Section 386 ITEPA 2003 as such costs cannot fund the provision of benefits.
If the employer's contribution covers benefits for more than one employee it is apportioned among the employees in accordance with the separate benefits to be provided for each of them, see example EIM15437.
The contribution is treated as income of the tax year in which that contribution is paid, see EIM15411.
Contributions by an employer will nearly always be in cash. However, where the contribution is made by means of the transfer of an asset from the employer to the scheme, it was decided by the Court of Appeal n Irving v HMRC ([2008] EWCA Civ.6) that such contributions are "a sum paid" by the employer for the purposes of Section 386. Where the contribution is made by transfer of assets from the employer, the amount of the contribution is the market value of the asset at the time of transfer.
(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
There are some exceptions to the charge, see EIM15413.
(If for any reason any employer contributions are not so charged, make a note in the employee's permanent notes sub-file or computer record historical notes. Any lump sum benefit subsequently paid to the employee that is attributable to such contributions is chargeable to tax when received: see EIM15420).

Jim was very heplful with all aspects of the ride. It was nice to be able to contact him through out the trip. The only part of the trip that was not good was the stretch from Hongsa to Xayaboury. The road is completely torn up for the whole 95 KM. Jim told us that it should have taken 4 hours, but it took us 12 hours and 24 villagers to help push us through the mud. I would say that this road is a 9, (pretty much impassable) for the rest of the rainy season. They said that the construction will take over a year. The best stretch was from Phonsavan-Vieng Thong-Nong Khiaw. It was beautiful just a little misty.

Here is a riddle for you. Question, what's even bigger than the total number of IFA clients? Answer: the total number of IFAs' ex-customers. Oh and by the way, the use of the word "customer" is deliberate.
Jokes aside, one of the most staggering omissions of all the discussion about the consequences of the RDR is not so much the impact it might have on consumers' future ability to access independent advice but the fact that, given the choice, so few are currently prepared to remain as clients of their IFAs today.
Which is why I find unconvincing the current opprobrium being heaped on Standard Life for its free iPad competition, asking those who hold one or more of its investments whether they still have a "live" IFA attending to their needs to say so.
I suspect that if it carried out its work properly, making not just an iPad available but simply calling every one of its customers and asking a few questions, Standard would unearth a massive number of orphans as opposed to continuing clients.
Let me be clear. By "client", I do not mean someone you might once have sold an investment to 15 years ago but would not recognise if you bumped into them while doing the Christmas shopping in Tesco.
My definition implies a sustained and – eventually – long-term relationship between IFA and client, consisting of at least once-yearly financial reviews and appropriate decision-making based on advice given on more than one issue – and requiring more than a one-off product sale.
If you accept this definition even minimally, what is shocking is how relatively small the number of genuine clients is compared with the far bigger number of those who could be but are not.
Just to give an example, an entirely subjective one: almost half of my acquaintances, people I mix with socially or professionally, have come into contact with an IFA at some stage in their working lives or since giving up work.
That is not to say they necessarily then followed through initial contact or, if they did, it remained a one-off transaction – of which more later. And, to be sure, we are talking about a relatively middle-class bunch of people. But I suspect that, in similar circles, most people have either accessed an IFA or strongly considered doing so.
What has gone wrong? How can it be that millions of people have slipped so easily through the fingers of IFAs in the past 15 or 20 years? I believe the main reason is that for too long the relationship between IFAs and their clients has been directly transactional, as already referred to. In saying this, I am not necessarily blaming advisers for this.
Over the years, it has become all too common-place for consumers to approach advisers with a specific problem, which they assume is resolvable in isolation. For example, a mortgage decision or a pension that needs setting up. Once the issue is sorted, the client disappears – either until the next time or never to be seen again.
Yet advisers too need to accept that the relationship they entered into with their clients over many years has been highly dysfunctional too. Primarily, it has been predicated on a "solution" that involved product sales as the key way of proving one's expertise. Moreover, the IFA was paid not so much for his overall talent and skill as a financial planner but for his or her broking abilities and product selection. And providers have then colluded in the peculiar shaping of this relationship by ensuring that it was the act of sale that was rewarded, as indeed they had to in order to boost their bottom line.
To cap it all, from an IFAs' point of view, it barely matters if the transaction remains a single one and is not sticky – that is, it does not lead to further work with that client. That is because as long as the client stays with the product for a relatively limited period of a few years, commission clawback is relatively minimal.
Even more important, an IFA has the potential to earn increasingly vast amounts of money from all the people he or she sold to without lifting a finger ever again.
That is the beauty of trail – and it is hardly an accident that by far the most vociferous defence of trail comes from those who are disinclined to lift a finger to earn it.
To return to Standard Life's attempts to identify customers who no longer deal with their adviser, what is wrong with its approach is not so much its attempt to cut trail payments to the IFA but its refusal to rebate the commission back to the client.
If Standard Life is not going to service the client, and I cannot for the life of me imagine how it could do that, then the company's attempt to halt trail payments is not fair.
But the responsibility for this happening lies not with consumers, who stand to gain nothing, or with Standard Life alone but also with all those IFAs who allowed it to happen in the first place over the years.

As a content writer, it's hard to believe that I would admit this but a website design can make or break the first impression of your company. While I wholeheartedly believe that effective content is king, I happen to sit with an awesome group of graphic designers who have managed to convince me to rethink what I've been spouting for years.
Both design and content are critical to attract and retain online visitors. They work in tandem to engage potential clients and re-engage existing ones.
I've pulled the FrontRunner Design Team together to pick their brains. The one very important thing to remember is that designing a funeral home website goes way beyond picking your favourite colour and throwing in your logo and a few pictures. The overall appearance of a website incorporates text, links, graphics, photography, colours, fonts, navigation, and scalability. All of these elements must come together in unison to present an attractive and professional looking website. If these elements are missing, website visitors are easily turned off and will look elsewhere.
The FrontRunner designers work with clients to create brand cohesion or, in simple terms, the same look and feel on all marketing materials, including the website. The brand includes many components such as the logo and particular colours, styles and images. Here are a few examples of some FrontRunner client custom designs.
All are very different and as you'll notice, the logo and images work to define the website and set them apart from the others. In order to achieve this professional look, designers need a couple of things from funeral homes to get started.
Logo: If you have one already, great! But, it needs to be a vector file. If you've never heard of that term, you're not alone… it's a design thing. There are two different types of graphic files:
- Vector – an image that's created based on mathematical coordinates, which can be easily edited and scaled to any size. Vector files are normally in eps, ai or pdf formats.
- Raster – an image made of many hundreds or thousands of pixels (think photograph) usually in a jpg, gif or png format. Raster files can become blurry when enlarged so they are difficult to manipulate into a design.
If you send a designer your logo in a vector file, you will make an immediate friend. If you don't have it, ask the company that designed your logo to send you one. If you want to re-create or enhance your logo, or create a brand new one, contact your FrontRunner Success Coach who will work with the design team to make it happen.
As for images, high resolution photographs are a must. For example, it's impossible to fit a 250×250 pixel image in a 500×700 pixel spot within a design without distorting it. Larger and professional photos also have a positive impact on the overall feel of a website.
Once the main design is in place, it's then up to the website administrators to maintain the brand cohesion. While I may sigh when I see an improper use of a comma, designers gasp when they look at a design that fails. Web editors, in their efforts to add or change content, inadvertently manage to knock everything out of whack. It's easy to do and thankfully, it's easy to correct in order to restore harmony.
Here's a brief list of the DOs and DON'Ts of web design:
- Use the same font and font size on all pages
- Use a text size that isn't too big or too small
- Bold and italicize (but don't overdo it) to emphasize words or phrases
- Use clear, personalized and professional photos
- Use text and link colours that coordinate with the site colours
- Use the allotted space for content to avoid unnecessary scroll bars
- Ensure the website can be properly viewed on all monitors and devices
- Keep your company brand in mind with every key stroke
- Use huge, red or green bolded text to draw attention to a section of the page; it will attract attention but not in a good way
- Use Times New Roman font (great for print; not so great for web). Georgia is just one screen-friendly font to use instead.
- Use a rainbow of text colours on pages unless your target audience is under the age of 3.
- Use upper case text unless you mean to SHOUT!
- Distort images while resizing them to fit on page
- Underline text that is not a link
- Use animated or blinking graphics
- Use graphics that overpower the text with their size or colours
- Overcrowd the main navigation with too many page titles
Your website design defines your online reputation. Just as your brand is important in your printed marketing materials, it's vital to extend that consistency or cohesion to your website. If you need guidance or have any questions, the FrontRunner team is always available to help.

Hapa Population Reflects on Art and Identity in New San Jose Exhibition
Walk to one corner of the Japanese American Museum of San Jose's newest exhibit and you'll find yourself face to face with a wall of Post-its. The Post-its are medium sized, in pastel pinks, blues and yellows, with various answers scribbled onto them in black ink: "1/2 Japanese, 1/4 Dutch, 1/4 Lithuanian." "Xicana, Nikkei, 100% me." "Part Filipino, Part Salvadorian, All Mixed Queer."
In the middle of the collage is a small square mirror, set below pink neon lights that spell out the question prompting all that surrounds: "What Are You?"
The installation, inspired by Ruth Ozeki's exercise in introspective (and literal) reflection, is part of the show Visible and Invisible: A Hapa and Japanese American History. The exhibit explores the hapa (mixed-race Asian or Pacific Islander) community's place in history, from their arrival as farm laborers to their service in World War II to their visibility in mainstream pop culture throughout the years.
"We wanted to both dispel the idea that mixed race is a new phenomenon in the Japanese American community, and the corollary belief that it means the demise of the community and identity," sociologist and co-curator Cindy Nakashima says of the exhibit.

Aside from providing historical context to the community, the show also engages with the idea of individuals discovering their true self -- a search that's truly universal, but all the more pressing for multiracial people living in an increasingly racialized world.
For recording artist PC Muñoz, his introspection materialized as Half-Breed, a performance piece mixing spoken word poetry, soundscapes and improvised instrumentals to examine the historical perspective of multiracial people through his own personal experiences as a mixed-race person.
"It's very much about me trying to locate every thought I had about being on the fringes, or feeling inauthentic, whether they're all just projections from family or peer groups," Muñoz says. "That feeling of not being entirely one thing or another and wondering what group is accepting you as a young person can cause a lot of trauma and can make you wonder how people are being categorized."
It's this feeling of isolation that 20-year-old art student Aaron Coleman is currently working through. Her father is a one-quarter French and African American, while her mother is South Korean. Her mother's side of the family still maintains problematic anti-Black perspectives, something Coleman tries to consciously stave off.
"I had to sit there and acknowledge that there are two sides of me, and neither are bad or good," Coleman says.
Artist Naomi Takata Shepherd hopes to help fellow hapas walk that balance through her business 6 Degrees of Hapa, which features shirts and hats adorned with familiar symbols of hapa culture, like spam musubi and the lucky cat.
"I want to give people a spot where they can be both (ethnicities) as well as a whole new person on their own," Shepherd says.
Shepherd sets up pop-up shops at various Japanese American festivals in the Bay Area, which she says often draws people both in and out of the mixed-race community.
"I didn't want to make (6 Degrees of Hapa) just about hapas themselves, but also about the families and friends around them, about letting everybody be involved -- everybody knows a hapa," Shepherd says.
With the U.S. Census Bureau expecting a tripling in the multiracial population by 2060, it's likely that everyone will know even more hapas in the coming years -- a reality that performer Brenda Wong Aoki believes is inevitable. Aoki's family is deeply rooted in mixed-race history, as her great-uncle Gunjiro Aoki was part of the first interracial marriage in America, a story which she immortalized in the play Uncle Gunjiro's Girlfriend.
Aoki is hopeful, however, and says that the very nature of multiethnic identities provide a possibility for a nation less divided by distinctions between race.

"In our blood we are the bridges -- it's not like we have to say that much. We just have to be, and be boldly," Aoki says.

How a Woman Who Is Raped Behaves
When you meet a woman who has been raped, don't judge her if she doesn't react in the way you had expected. She has survived an ordeal most people will thankfully never know. It took a lot for her to get as far as she has. If she hasn't done it the way you expected her to, it doesn't matter. She's a survivor all the same. Continue reading

According to a new study by Science Daily, during the week of Spring Break, for various highways and warm climate communities, the rate of car crashes increases by 10%. This effectively meant 16 more auto-related deaths per year in Spring Break destinations. While this study didn't find any additional sources of drunk driving related accidents, it was quick to stress that doesn't mean the risk isn't higher.
The flipside of the morbidity, however, is that typically these at risk communities also experience economic booms during the weeks of Spring Break. The study suggests refraining from altogether discouraging students from coming to their areas, but rather searching for effective ways to discourage or cut back on driving during Spring Break weeks.
Effective Ways to Avoid Collisions with Spring Breakers
Regardless of whether or not they are drunk driving, the increased traffic alone seriously contributes to the likelihood of accident. Florida, for example, had a record 26 million out of state visitors last year during the months of February and March, up from the 9 million the year previously. Most of those can be attributed to Spring Breakers. It isn't simply an issue of drunk driving. The following are ways to cut back on your exposure to the harmful college masses during the weeks of Spring Break:
- Avoid staying out late, particularly in areas usually claimed by the incoming college students.
- If you must drive through party zones during the day or at night, practice highly cautious, alert driving.
- If you suspect someone is employing unsafe driving practices, or is drunk, call the police.
- If you are a local business in the "hot spot" area, encourage the incoming students to take a cab.
- Avoid "hot spot" locations altogether.
Ideally, warm climate/beach communities will begin to facilitate transportation for the incoming college masses, so that the two parties will be able to exist symbiotically, each benefiting from the weeks the students spent on vacation. Lastly, if you find yourself in an accident with a college student and think alcohol is to blame, contact your lawyer, as you may be able to successfully sue for personal injury.

Perfume :)
I've been working on something new, perfume oil! I am putting together some really wonderful perfume oils in some little roller-ball bottles and I am loving it!! I have a few signature scents I am working on that will be 100% natural perfume oils, as well as some really classy phthalate free scents. These will be available in any of my scents, as well as some of my new signature scents that are only available in these perfumes. Look for some classics like Patchouli too :) I'm really excited about these and will be introducing them in my shop in the next few weeks! I've also made up a few more of my Hair and Body Sprays in some amazing men's scents! I'll be listing these soon too!
Labels: fragrances, hair and body spray, perfume

Some circumstances may arise where-in you would want to customize the share text which usually appears during the time that you share a link from Safari using Twitter. In such cases, having a simplified utility will help in proving to be a resourceful measure.
SafariSharePatcher, a new jailbreak tweak is the utility which helps in performing the user's ntended operation. Because it is a beta tweak, currently this tweak isn't yet available on the default Cydia repos. The users are allowed to customize text with the option of the preference panel located in the settings app.
At the beginning, the Twitter share pop-up text arrives up as blank space. Eventually the SafariSharePatcher tweak helps you to completely customize the same based upon your liking.
After you install the tweak, you will need to go to the stock Settings app and open SafariSharePatcher 's preference panel. Here you can view a "Tweet Format" field which helps you for customizing the share text. Firstly the field will have a TITLE variable which encompasses the title of the webpage inclusive in the tweet. Either you can keep this and keep texting around it, else you have the option of deleting it completely if you want to do so.
Generally users simply keep the specific title and customize the text that surrounds it. In this manner, you can keep the context of the share along with the addition of special customizations.
For trying the SafariSharePatcher, you will need to go to the following repo address to your Cydia sources: http://hitoriblog.com/apt/. Once you navigate there, you can download this tweak for free.
What are your thoughts on this tweak? Do you think it will be helpful?

Jonathan Howson is already a good player but I couldn't help thinking as I watched him in Leeds' play-off matches with Millwall that there will be an awful lot more to come from him as he gains experience and stature. Then, he will be able to lengthen his game, meaning that instead of playing in a rather restricted area of about 20 yards he will be able to make longer runs and have a greater range of passing. When that happens, he will have even more of an impact.
Having said that what he did, he did very well. He was neat and tidy on the ball and extremely comfortable when receiving possession, always keeping the play moving, never dwelling and hardly ever getting caught in possession.
His pass appreciation was also good and the man receiving the ball very rarely had to stop his run as it was always played into his path. Howson never missed a chance to make a tackle either – once or twice laying down a marker for his opponent that he wasn't going to be pushed around. He is competitive in the air without being dominant and he is a good reader of the game, particularly when he doesn't have the ball.
I liked the way, especially early on in the first match, when the opposition had a man over (in this case when Millwall released one of their full-backs) he made sure before he left the man he was marking that Leeds' deepest forward took his place as he went to confront the danger.
He covers the ground easily and I liked his positioning for second-phase ball, particularly when Leeds were defending, and because of this he was quick to spot the chance to start counter-attacks.
Caution was always going to be his first option in a play-off semi-final but I would like to see him break the line more, getting past his two centre-forwards to make third-man runs and burst into the box when the ball is out wide ready to be crossed in. If he had done this he would have given his marker something to think about because Leeds looked a little bit light on personnel when the ball was delivered.
This is what I mean by saying he needs to lengthen his game, as even his passing was at times restricted to a 20-yard radius.
Howson scored twice in last year's play-off victory at Carlisle, which shows that he's got goals in him, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to stamp his authority on games. Unfortunately for Leeds, he didn't quite manage it in this one.
He is a product of their successful academy and as a keen fan of the club he fulfilled the boyhood dream by making his debut back in September 2006. Such was his progress that season that he was voted their young player of the year, which was some feat with the amount of young lads Leeds always have in their team.
He's one player I'll be keeping an eye on in this youthful side, as it will be interesting to see how they handle the pressure of getting out of League One next year. If Howson can add the extra facets to his game to take him to the next level it won't just be him on the way up, but Leeds United as well.

After scarfing down two bowls full of linguini and plenty of broccoli (as well as plenty of garlic - I have the world's stinkiest breath right now, thanks to that and the nasty little chunks of diced red onion that were hiding in the lentils of my salad this afternoon), Mister said he was hungry. I thought, "Surely, I misheard!" So I asked him if he said he was still hungry. To my surprise, he responded by nodding vehemently and then sticking out his lower lip in a pout.
My husband is the only human being on the planet who can eat two bowls of linguini and be hungry afterwards. If I'm wrong, please tell me.
So, about 15 minutes after dinner, Mister put on shoes and his coat and went out to find a sandwich. Seriously. He came back a little while later, happily stuffed with a Wawa sammich and a stale donut.
Sometimes, I just don't get him.
Anyway, on my way home from work last night, I stopped at Superfresh because I didn't realize how little bouillon I had until I used it all up making the Vegetable Lentil Stew the other night. I was hoping to pick up a can or quart of veggie broth even though Superfresh doesn't believe in it but something new caught my eye instead:
Mister thinks that image is completely unappetizing, but I think it's kind of cool that they have concentrated liquid broth base in little individual squeeze-packs. That's how it ended up in my home.
Each of the little squeeze-packs, when combined with water, make one cup of broth, which is actually kind of perfect, considering the number of times I've had to cut a bouillon cube in half because I only needed to make one cup of broth. Nevertheless, these will not be a standard issue in our home for two reasons: first, though I'll admit I haven't checked the nutritional info on Rapunzel bouillon in a while, it seems a little excessive for each packet to provide 770mg sodium. That is a solid third of the RDA and it only makes 1 cup. God forbid I use two packets... The second reason is purely economical and ecological - they are way more expensive than premade broth or Rapunzel bouillon cubes and result in a lot more material waste.
I guess it smelled pretty good, though, as part of the Broccoli Con Pasta, because Angst bugged Mister for a sniff/taste the moment we sat down to eat.
Could you resist those imploring eyes? That sad, hungry little face??
Yeah, neither could Mister.
Fortunately, once it was down at eye-level, Angst remembered he doesn't like pasta and resorted to staring me down to see if I had something different to eat. I gave him a small piece of pasta and after he licked it, he left it on the floor for me to pick up after dinner. What a sweetheart.
If I could go back a night, though, even after I made a special trip to Superfresh specifically to get the broth so I could make Pasta Con Broccoli, upon returning home, I stood in my kitchen, my apron half tied, thinking. Realizing that I absolutely could not muster the desire to make and eat that dinner, primarily because I'd gotten a completely different cuisine stuck on my tastebuds, I called out to Mister, "Hey, do you want to go to Cedar's for dinner?"
Yes, he did.

Package in a cello bag, tie up with ribbons or twine and add acorn two-layer tag. Lower margin of tag has space for guest's name. Mix and match with tags from "turkey choc tray" and "acorn choc tray". ASSEMBLY: place face side down; fold upward on rectangular perforation lines, opposite directions on diagonal lines, which will extend outward as corner "gussets"; glue inner surfaces of gussets together, then fold toward center to wrap over short ends and glue in place; fold front & back rims outward, if desired.

Asus has pulled the wraps off what it claims to be the world's fastest single graphics card. The video card is called the Ares and is part of the Republic of Gamers line at Asus.
The video card has dual ATI 5870 GPUs on a single video card combined with 4GB of GDDR5 RAM. Asus promises that the card is 30% faster than the standard ATI 5970 video card. The Ares uses a custom PCB and high quality electrical components.
Cooling is handled by a copper heat sink, high flow fan, and a metal fan shroud. The cooling solution is powerful enough to support further overclocking according to Asus. Pricing and availability are unknown, but this will be an expensive product.
