Crossroads Unseen
Review by Bruce Gallanter
Downtown Music Gallery Newsletter
October 14, 2011
JASON KAO HWANG'S EDGE With TAYLOR HO BYNUM/ANDREW DRURY/KEN FILIANO - Crossroads Unseen (Euonymus 02; USA) Featuring Jason Hwang on violin, viola & compositions, Taylor Ho Bynum on cornet & flugelhorn, Ken Filiano on contrabass and Andrew Drury on drums.
This is the third disc from Jason Hwang's mighty Edge and they just keep getting better. For more than three decades string wizard Jason Hwang has been at the center of the avant/jazz cyclone, evolving through many layers of music's different worlds, outer and inner. Earlier this year, historic recordings by Jason's early ensemble Commitment(1981-1983) were released on NoBusiness. I can hear the connection between what Jason was doing way back when and what he is still doing today. He has remained true to his vision of combining different streams.
Edge is a particularly strong, inspired Downtown all-star quartet. Each of the five long pieces show a well-integrated ensemble where each member is integral to the group sound. "Elemental Determination" starts with a sparse yet unified, repeating theme but soon spins into a spirited modal groove. Both Jason and Taylor take great, explosive solos throughout this entire disc and the bowed interplay between Jason and Ken is especially riveting. This is an all-acoustic quartet and this is a superb studio recording with perfect balance. "The Path Around the House" has a wonderful, bluesy sort-of vibe with some gritty, heart-felt playing from the entire quartet. The ever-amazing Ken Filiano kicks off "Transients" with a most impressive bass solo and features a strong cerebral theme with all four players moving in different interconnected orbits. I dig the way Taylor plays that spooky close-mic'd cornet on "Crossroads Unseen" with Ken's haunting bass also setting up the eerie mood. The sparseness of this piece is what makes it so compelling, when the quartet erupts nears the end it is as if a volcano is coming to life. The cover of this disc features a pictures of a hand in the forest with the trees being blurred by the movement of the camera. The music within also has an organic, swirling vibe which fits these images just right.

Welcome to SATO VICINITY
[Release] SATO's IoT Printing Technology Integrated with Bizcaps Enterprise
Enhances leading cloud-based medical product information system for hospitals and medical suppliers
26 May, 2015
Sydney, May 26, 2015 – SATO (TSE:6287), a leading global provider of Auto-ID solutions that empower workforces and streamline operations, and Bizcaps Software, a provider of rapid-deployment business process management software, announced today that SATO's web-direct printing technology has been integrated with Bizcaps Enterprise, a medical product information management (PIM) tool. Bizcaps Enterprise users now enjoy full compatibility with select SATO printers and are able to easily print medical product labels in compliance with Australian regulatory requirements.
Bizcaps supports many leading companies across industries, helping reduce costs through enhanced supply chain efficiency and to improve patient safety using product data validation and synchronization based on GDSN and GS1 standards.
"With the incorporation of SATO's Auto-ID technology into Enterprise, Bizcaps users now have an integrated, standardised and on-demand product labeling solution," said Rob Clifton-Steele, CEO of Bizcaps Software. "This means that users save time, reduce errors and increase their productivity."

Leveraging its accumulated experience and knowledge in tracking goods, it has rapidly grown its market share, particularly within the medical device industry, which utilizes SATO's unique PJM RFID technology.
"Australia sets the direction for the world in many cases," said Hiroyuki Konuma, President of SATO Healthcare. "One driving factor is the high wages in Australia that require businesses to really push operational efficiencies. The country was quick to adopt RFID technology for medical supply chains, and Bizcaps' Enterprise medical PIM solution is another example of that kind of forward thinking. It provides both medical product suppliers and hospitals with a new level of efficiency. We are honored to play an important role in the solution as a technology partner and are confident the system will greatly benefit clients and streamline their operations."
The integrated SATO and Bizcaps Enterprise medical PIM solution provides:

A great welcome back to all of our guests who attended the Open House to our meeting this evening!
Maryam gave a moving speech set on a cold New Year's Eve, while Kalen retold the history of Perseus and the slaying of Medusa.
Later this evening I asked the audience to describe something they know well -- such as swimming, football, and photographs -- to someone (be it aliens or Tarzan) who might be unfamiliar with these objects and actions. The theme this evening was Explanation Station.

Nike congratulations Cristiano Ronaldo with 'CR7 Rare Gold'
Winner of his third Ballon d'Or, Cristiano Ronaldo has made truly unique mark on football. He is an enigma of talent. A midas touch.
In celebration, Nike have congratulated him, creating a gold boot designed specifically for the wizard that is Ronaldo.
Introducing, the CR7 Rare Gold.
As a tribute to Ronaldo's work ethic, Nike added a special touch to the Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold. For the first time in Nike history, micro-diamonds have been applied by hand to the CR7 logo of the boot.
The micro-diamonds are remnants from larger stones that are painstakingly perfected by craftsmen. As the diamonds are refined and the details sharpened, tiny pieces are cut away, leaving micro-diamonds behind as evidence of work in progress.
The commitment to keep chipping away at something already impressive reminded Nike's design team of Ronaldo's work ethic. While many see Ronaldo as the best in the world, he sees room for improvement.
This exclusive pair of Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold boots will be on pitch this week, only on the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Delicious photography to match. This world beater deserves the plaudits and these boots do him justice.
CR7 Rare Gold for an incredibly rare talent.

Bernard Boutinet VSOP
Bernard Boutinet is a creator of Cognac, with only three permanent employees. His vineyard of 27 hectares is located in the Fins Bois region, just over the border of the Borderies.
The Bernard Boutinet VSOP also comes from the Fins Bois. Although I often appreciate Fins Bois Cognacs less than Cognacs from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne or Borderies region, this Cognac is quite nice for a Fins Bois Cognac. The aroma's are full and floral with a pleasant aftertaste.
The tasting notes of the Bernard Boutinet VSOP are:
The color: light gold.
The fragrance: soft, floral notes of spring, like a fruity mango, vanilla, some wood.
The taste: sharp but round and fruity, like juniper and vanilla. Typical Fins Bois taste to recognize. Also very little wood.
The after-taste: short but pleasant flavor.
The origin: 100% Fins Bois.
Age: 7 years old.
The price: about 40 dollars.
The price / quality ratio: a 7.

Jeremy Hunt tried to appoint a former Conservative chief whip as chair of food regulator the Food Standards Agency last autumn but had to back down when ministers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland objected, it has been revealed.
The health secretary then tried to break the standoff by suggesting another candidate with personal links to David Cameron for the role – putting forward a name that had not been on the earlier shortlist.
Sources close to the process told the Guardian Hunt's first choice for the chairmanship was David Maclean, who was Conservative chief whip until the 2010 general election, when he retired as an MP and was ennobled as Lord Blencathra. He was in line to replace Lord (Jeff) Rooker, a former Labour MP.
However, the independent review panel responsible for appointing Rooker's successor had initially favoured another candidate, John Hirst, the head of the Met Office, over Blencathra – until Hunt intervened.
When Blencathra's candidacy foundered, Hunt suggested Tessa Green, the wife of Michael Green, Cameron's boss when he worked at ITV company Carlton.
The revelation will reignite accusations that the Tories have been seeking to fill public posts with political appointees and friends.
The row between Labour and the Conservatives was sparked last weekend by education secretary Michael Gove's sacking of Labour peer Sally Morgan as chair of Ofsted.
When the independent panel proposed Hirst over Blencathra, Hunt decided the shortlisted candidates should be re-interviewed, which he did personally in the presence of the chair of the panel.
Blencathra's name was then put forward to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish ministers who make the appointment jointly with the UK health secretary – but all three devolved administration ministers rejected the peer.
Blencathra said he made "no apologies" for emerging as the preferred candidate.
"I don't think the secretary of state was favouring his own party at all, any more than Jeff Rooker was favoured by Labour when he was appointed.
"If he wanted to appoint me, it was because I was the best man."
A spokesman for Hunt said he "utterly rejected" any suggestions he had recommended candidates for public appointment on any grounds other than merit.
After several months of exchanges, Hunt proposed a fresh candidate – Tessa Green, a barrister with personal links to the prime minister who has also held non-executive director roles in the NHS. Green was also a former head of communications at Carlton, where Cameron once worked.
Green was put forward by Hunt as a compromise in a letter – but the devolved administrations insisted that since agreement could not be reached on the final candidates put forward by the panel, the process must be restarted
Green told the Guardian she had been approached by the Department of Health and headhunters for the FSA job but had not been interested in it and was unaware that her name had subsequently been put forward.
"I was approached by DH a long time ago – I am regularly approached – but it was not a job that took my interest," she said. "My name may have been put forward but I was never contacted by Jeremy Hunt about it nor by anyone from his office as far as I am aware."
A spokesman for Hunt said: "The health secretary utterly rejects the totally bogus suggestion that his recommendation was made on party political grounds.
"He makes recommendations for public appointments based on merit, just as he did with the recent appointment of former Labour adviser Simon Stevens as chief executive of NHS England."
A Welsh Government source said there had been "significant alarm" within its government at the way the appointment was being handled.
" It seems to fit with the recent pattern of Tory yes-men being placed into top jobs in the run up to the general election. In this instance we had a right to veto and the UK government has been forced into an embarrassing climb-down," he said.
A spokesman for the Scottish government confirmed that it had failed to agree a name with the health secretary and that the recruitment process had been restarted.
"The responsibility for appointing a chair to the FSA rests with all four health ministers across the UK. Decisions have to be made jointly. In an appointment round in 2013 Ministers could not reach agreement on their choice," he said. The failure to agree an appointment has left the FSA without a permanent chair at a time when it has had to deal with the horsemeat scandal – the largest food crisis it has ever faced.
The role will now be advertised again and the lengthy process restarted – so that it is likely to be a full year before the agency has a properly appointed leader.
Rooker left last July, having earned between £50,000 and £55,000 for the role between 2012 and 2013.

Mobile Focused Content Marketing
Remember, content marketing is all about building relationships with consumers. Potential customers want content that answers their questions and meets their needs. To deliver what they're looking for, you don't just need top-quality content. You need to go where your customers are to publish that content.
In other words, you need to go mobile.
First, the bad news: It's tough to hold mobile visitors' attention. On average, mobile users have a bounce rate that's 10 percent higher than desktop users. That means that, even as more and more traffic moves from PCs to mobile devices, taking advantage of that traffic is a challenge. The good news is that there are ways to overcome those challenges.
Most mobile customers search on the go, which means they're thinking locally, not globally. Use that tendency to your advantage by taking a look at Google Trends and searching keywords by geographic area. Find the keywords that are commonly searched in your target region and optimize for those. In addition to tapping into some of that mobile traffic, thinking locally makes for more efficient marketing because local keywords tend to be less competitive than global ones.
Successful mobile content marketers also think about the technical limitations of smartphones and tablets. Small screens aren't great for reading tons of text, but they're perfect for slideshows and video content; indeed, video is the most viewed mobile content medium. Produce quick, info-packed videos to cater to mobile users' short attention spans, and make sure any text you use is to the point and written in an easy-to-read font.
Make sure your mobile content and landing pages are optimized for touchscreens. Mobile users resent having to zoom in and hunt down a little checkbox or hyperlink, so use big buttons whenever possible.
Speaking of optimization, it's particularly important to make sure your conversion points are mobile-friendly. Whenever possible, use auto-populated fields and drop-down menus instead of forcing users to type extensively on their phones. Make web forms as simple as you can, asking only for required information. Your customers can add more after they've created accounts or signed up for your newsletter.
Finally, and most importantly, your mobile content needs to command attention. We've already mentioned the high bounce rate, but what's even worse is that the average mobile user spends just five seconds viewing a page! There's no time to waste, so make sure your content is eye-catching and inspires the user to read on. That's the only way to bring up your conversion rate and engage with future customers.

Storm water management has gained huge importance in running off water flow through drainage systems. The water that flow during storms, snow/ice melts precipitation events. This excess water that runs may lead to cause damages to your property as well as pollutes environment. This water directly gets into oceans, rivers, lakes and other water bodies causing pollution. When the same excess water accumulate in floor leads to cause problems of flooding. Installing Storm Water Design construction can help you to remove this unwanted water flooding by flowing through drainage systems.
Flooding Risk with Strom Water:
The rain water or ice melts can sometime cause severe problems to house owners. The effective flowing of this water fails it leads to flooding and can cause damages. Hence you need to install right drainage system to remove this excess water. Some people may take this problem not serious that causes issues of flooding, spreading of dangerous toxins, environment pollution. This excess water can finally mix with oceans, lakes, rivers and other water bodies that cause heavy pollution to environment. As a responsibility citizen you need to install Storm Water Design construction to your house to remove this excess water.
- Roads are covered with parking lots, driveways, land parcels there is less chances of flowing rain water through tunnels. Rain water is essential to clear groundwater aquifers. These are busy covering roads with parking lots raises not having proper water flow. Starting with smaller volume the water flow can lead to heavier flow which leads to flooding.
- Storm water management is best and effective way to reduce this excess water. The Engineers design best way is flowing this water through drainage system. The Storm Water Design is built under the ground that has top holes on the floor. These holes will effectively flow water through them directly to drainage system.
- The water that accumulates on the ground will have several problems like this water can release dangerous and harmful toxins that can cause several health problems. These toxins are poison of plant or animal origin which releases harmful bacteria outside. These can cause you severe health problems and also some of the unidentified errors.
- Another major problem with the accumulated water is it causes flooding. Yes, what you heard is right, the overflow of water continuously can rise to accumulate in larger quantities. These can cause heavy flooding by flowing excess of water. This problem should be taken very seriously that floods can wash off anything that comes on its way. Your valuable property can also throw away with these heavy floods.
- Environmental pollution is another major cause with this excess water. There will be no possible way to flow this water and hence it finds its way by flowing through oceans, rivers and lakes polluting them. This pollution can again cause release of several toxin gases that can become problem to people. Installing right Storm Water Design can possibly help you to overcome all these problems.

UN announces launch for new High Note Music Prize to acknowledge music artists contribution to Human Rights.
The office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights has announced its plans to award an inaugural prize for the recognition of outstanding contribution to humanity and the promotion of human rights through music in collaboration with the High Note Project. The prize will recognise a major recording artists contribution to the human rights world through their music.
The selection committee for the prize is currently being organised and will work with the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights to select an international artist who has promoted human rights for at least a decade. This prize giving ceremony that will take place at the Honours Concert in London in Autumn 2018 will mark a new annual award that will be overseen by the UN High Commissioner of Huma Rights office and the Grammy Museum.
The High Note Music Prize is part of the High Note Project; a new global justice initiative launched by producer David Clark. Clark has previously collaborated with Nelson Mandela on the 46664 series of charity concerts in support of HIV/AIDS, which featured performances by Bono, Beyoncé, Queen and the Eurythmics.
During the Honours Concert, the winner will be selected, and their social justice charity of choice will benefit from a Cause Flash Social Media campaign that aims to reach over one billion people worldwide. Cause Flash, the brainchild of Clark, is a digital platform that was behind the Water Now social media campaign in 2015. It supported UN Water Day and reached over 800 million people in 7 days making it the largest campaign of its type in history!
Laurent Sauveur, director of external affairs for the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights, announced their support for the project, stating "As we enter the 70th anniversary year of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the need for people to stand up to protect human rights is more vital than ever". He continued, "Music is also a force to be reckoned with and musicians have the power to mobilise".
The High Note Prize is an effort to galvanise the global importance of human rights and at the same time honour artists who passionately use their work to promote and protect the rights of others. Music speaks to all of us and something we all relate to, no matter what race, age, gender, political stance etc. It's a universal medium of communication.
Scott Goldman, the director of the Grammy Museum said: "Music is a powerful tool and when used to call out injustice, that power inspires goodwill in others and affects change across a broad spectrum of social issues."
Nominees names have not been released yet, but assumptions can be made. Many musicians have raised awareness and/or championed causes to alleviate human suffering from social problems caused by famine, natural disasters, war, civil rights violations, environmental abuse and others. Some have achieved it through their music, some by using their fame as musicians and others using both. Andra Day is one such example. She is a Grammy nominated artist and social justice champion whose song Rise Up became an anthem for the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Since music is an international language that has the power to inspire, heal and reform, the High Note Project was created as a platform to honour and recognise iconic artists who utilise music to promote social justice as well as to unite human rights organisations with the global community.

Have YOU Taken Your Vitamin D Today?
2 comments:
Dr. Amy Fitzgerald will be so proud that you posted this! She has been shoving Vitamin D into my mouth for years :) and now I know why! Thanks for the info Stacy! Love the blog so much - you continue to inspire me!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your naps and sleep tight - my Grandmother used to tell me that sleep is healing to the body and soul.
Great info! They didn't tell me this when I was diagnosed two years ago, but several of my docs have suggested this in the last year. I started with 1000 - 2000 units; now am taking 5000 IU. Blood tests will confirm how that is working for me and how much to take. I also recommend this to friends, as I'm feeling much better these days - doing LOTS of things that could help, but Vit. D is a definite "keeper"! Keep sharing your expanding knowledge, Stacy! Much love coming your way!ReplyDelete

Marina Wilkinson is sitting alone at the kitchen table of her two-storey, four-bedroom home in Beaverlodge, Alta., sipping a cup of tea and trying to organize the rest of her life. The task is overwhelming. It's been two months since her husband Roderick died, following a 25-year struggle with an immunological disease. Marina is still feeling the emotional pain of losing her partner, but adding to her anxiety is another type of burden. "I'm totally at sea with all the finances," says the 59-year-old widow and mother of two adult children. "This isn't through lack of experience because I handled all our money matters during our 39 years of marriage. It's about how to put a plan in place, as well as making good personal decisions, so I can move on. Now my husband has passed away, I need a new blueprint for my life. It's daunting."
There are countless important decisions that need to be made. "I work full-time and it was always my intention to work as long as Roderick was alive—at least until age 65," says Marina, who earns $45,000 annually as a secretary at a dental clinic. (We've changed names to protect privacy.) "But I'll soon receive the survivor benefit from Roderick's government pension and don't know how that will affect my tax picture. I certainly don't want to continue working if I'm just going to end up giving away all the money to the taxman."
Other key decisions for Marina include how to invest the proceeds of a $245,000 life insurance policy, and whether she should sell her spacious Beaverlodge home to move to a duplex on Vancouver Island, which she inherited with sister Joy in 2010. The duplex had been rented out, but Joy is moving into the upstairs unit, leaving the lower one available for Marina. Ideally, Marina would like to leave work and retire in June of 2015. At that time, she could move to Vancouver Island to live with her sister, an appealing prospect. "I'm all alone now. I need to be realistic," says Marina, originally from Victoria. "It's cold in Alberta in the winter—40 below zero some days. I'd enjoy living in a milder climate and being closer to friends."
Holding her back are several difficult choices she needs to make if she decides to go ahead with the plan to sell her Beaverlodge home. "It will need to be renovated first, but I can always take in a boarder or two to help with the expenses until I leave my job," says Marina. "Or, should I do some minor renovations and sell it sooner? It's hard to decide."
Finally, she's contemplating if she should just "rent out a couple of rooms in this big house," and stay in Beaverlodge.
Without question, Marina's current home carries deep emotional ties. "My husband and I built our house in Alberta in 1995, after living in a mobile home for 16 years. "We had been told that with Roderick's illness, we would never qualify for a mortgage," she says, information she later found out was incorrect.
It was in the 1970s that Marina first met Roderick through mutual friends at a family barbecue. "It was love at first sight," she says of her geologist husband. By 1975 they were married and Marina left behind her university studies to work full-time as a receptionist. In 1979 they settled in Beaverlodge and immediately had two children, with Marina staying at home to care for them. Then disaster struck. Roderick was diagnosed with the immunological disease in 1984 and the next few years revolved around taking him to appointments and generally running the household.
In 1988, things slowly returned to normal and Roderick's disease was under control, so Marina returned to work. Over the years, Roderick continued on with his provincial government geologist's job. For the last 13 years of his life his long-term disability paid him 70% of his initial salary of $42,000. His employer, however, continued to contribute to his pension.
Today, Marina is entitled to a survivor benefit of $32,875 per year (which includes both Roderick's CPP and employer pension), but is unsure whether she should take it all at once or stick with one of several monthly payment choices. "I don't fully understand all my pension options," says Marina. "Some friends have suggested I take the $550,000 lump-sum payment so I can leave an estate to my kids. I don't want to give so much away that I'll have to pinch pennies in old age. But is taking the lump sum a better risk than leaving it in an underfunded pension plan?" she asks. "And when should I take my own CPP pension? If I have enough money to live on should I delay taking it for as long as possible?"
As of January, Marina's annual income adds up to $80,677, which includes her salary as well as the spousal benefit from her husband's employer pension and his CPP, plus rental income from the Victoria duplex. But if she quits her job, her income will decrease to about $35,000. "Can my investments and my own CPP and OAS provide me with $50,000 net annually for life?" wonders Marina. "I just don't know."
Working in her favour is the fact Marina has always been good at managing her money. Her parents were children of the Depression so they were very cautious financially. "They could make something out of nothing and often did," says Marina. Later, her father (a carpenter) took an interest in investing and Marina took notice of his passion for it. "My dad loved RRSPs and was an early investor in them. He thought they were a 'heck of a good deal,'" she says.
So over the years as Marina and Roderick paid off the mortgage on their home, they also contributed to RRSPs, which she invested in stocks and GICs. Then, in 2011, fearing the market was getting pricey, she sold 70% of the equities in their accounts. She's now trying to decide on a future investment strategy, both for the RRSP as well as the life insurance money she will soon receive. "I'm educating myself on the couch potato strategy and have always invested on my own," says Marina. "I want my portfolio to take me through the ups and down of the market. I've never found a financial planner I trusted but I may soon have to."
As it stands, Marina's investment portfolio includes her Alberta home (worth $199,400), half of the duplex on Vancouver Island (her share is valued at $221,000), $186,950 in RRSPs, the $245,000 life insurance payout, $17,525 in TFSAs and $27,709 in other accounts. That makes $906,434 in total assets (including the value of her car), with no outstanding debt.
Another priority is to reduce some of her expenses—Marina pays $1,598 annually in term life insurance that may no longer be necessary. Over the years, she also completed several university courses, but is still a few credits short of a degree. "Someday, I'd love to finish—maybe when I retire," she says. But more than anything, Marina wants a future filled with adventure and travel as well as more time visiting her two children and two grandchildren. She'd like to take a cruise to London, then travel through Europe by train.
One thing is certain—Marina can hardly wait to start her new life. "Up until six weeks ago, I threw myself into my work to try and dull the pain of watching my husband struggle. And then it was all over. One minute he was there and the next minute he was gone. It was so peaceful and so shattering," she says. "My dreams have been on hold for so long. I don't want to miss this chance. I am truly open to all options. I just need a good financial plan to start living my life to the fullest."
What the experts say
For the first time in a long while, Marina Wilkinson will have time to focus on getting a financial road map that will make her own life goals the top priority. "Marina needs to get past the emotional part of establishing that she is financially independent and start focusing on what her goals are, because she has more than enough money to live a long and healthy life," says Tom Feigs, a financial planner with Money Coaches Canada in Calgary. Heather Franklin, a fee-for-service planner in Toronto, agrees, adding, "the key will be to separate her decisions into smaller digestible bits and not to feel pressured to decide everything all at once. That will be a big challenge for her." Here's what Marina should do.
Choose the right pension option. When evaluating employer pension options, clients often see the hundreds of thousands in cash value for the first time. "Their first reaction is always, 'Sure would be nice to drop this $550,000 in my back pocket,'" says Feigs. "But almost always, it's the absolute wrong decision." Why? Because according to Feigs, a guaranteed single-life pension like the one Marina is entitled to provides peace of mind and security for life. "Marina's pension also has an annual cost-of-living adjustment of 60% of the Consumer Price Index—an important feature," says Feigs. His advice? "Choose the guaranteed single-life option. If you wish, you could add the five-year minimum payout guarantee at a cost of $7 a month."
Heather Franklin agrees, pointing out that there are pros and cons to both options. "Marina could do just as well by taking the $550,000 lump-sum payment and, with the help of a good fee-for-service planner, investing it in a well-diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks: 70% in Canadian stocks, 20% in U.S. growth stocks and 10% in a bond ETF."
Franklin likes the flexibility it would give Marina to draw the money down on her own terms and she'd get good income plus growth. Such a portfolio would return about $19,000 a year, a little less than the single-life pension option but alternatively, her stocks would give her years worth of growth as well as the annual dividend income which should increase over the years. The key? "Marina has to absolutely be comfortable managing her own money," says Franklin. "If she has any doubts whatsoever, she should take the monthly single-life pension option."
Fine-tune her finances. Both Franklin and Feigs recommend that Marina should stop making RRSP contributions and top up her TFSA instead. She should also stop paying the $1,598 annually for life insurance. "She doesn't need that anymore," says Feigs.
Sell the house. Both experts think Marina can sell her home at any time. "Just don't spend too much on renovations," says Franklin. "Do the basics and then sell it." Feigs agrees, noting that moving to the West Coast duplex is the right choice for Marina. "She should get her duplex apartment renovated this year and move in when it's ready," says Feigs. "The smaller duplex apartment will keep her expenses low, be in a temperate climate that she loves and put her near family and friends. That will be wonderful for the quality of her retirement life."
Get an investment plan. Right now, Marina has almost $500,000 sitting in cash in RRSPs, TFSAs and other investments. Selling her home will add another $150,000. "She needs to invest all this money in a dividend-paying stock portfolio, similar to the way I suggested for her lump-sum payment for the employer pension," says Franklin. Feigs agrees the RRSP money and life insurance payment should be invested conservatively, possibly in a couch potato portfolio returning about 4% net annually. "She should work with a fee-for-service financial planner to clarify her financial road map, all the while keeping her fees low. Her husband's pension, CPP and her own CPP and OAS will provide her with close to $50,000 annually. She can dip into her portfolio for a few thousand dollars extra every year if she feels she needs it." Marina should go to www.moneysense.ca/planners to find a planner in her area.
Start collecting CPP at age 60. At 60, Marina will be eligible to collect roughly $10,000 in annual CPP payments. At 65, she can collect about $6,500 in OAS annually. Marina should also update her will. And finally, "she may want to continue her studies and earn her university degree," Feigs concludes. "It will keep her brain active and give her a sense of accomplishment. That's a great thing to have in retirement."

There are countless weight loss ideas that can be found on the internet, but let's take a look at three. Each approaches the battle differently. Some are focused on healthy food consumption. Others are focused more on exercise. For people with severe obesity problems, bariatric surgery is sometimes the best option, paired with a post bariatric diet.
Watch What You Eat (And Splurge Smartly)
Start paying attention to what's in the food you eat, namely how much fat, protein, carbohydrates, calories, and fiber. The most fiendish of foods are the empty calories. Usually junk foods will fill you up for the moment, but you will soon be coming back for more (and more). Try eating foods lower in fat and carbohydrates that will still fill you up and keep you full for longer. This way you're not constantly reaching for that bag of chips. And if you still have the munchies, it's always okay to snack on fruits, veggies, and nuts throughout the day to curb your cravings. Also, your weight loss plan will most likely backfire if you are too strict on yourself. If you're consistently eating healthy, it's okay to splurge every once in a while.
Get Your Body Moving, but Not Too Much
Studies have shown that it doesn't take a sadistic workout routine to get into shape. Ironically, extreme amounts of exercise have actually been shown to decrease health in some people. It's consistent, small amounts of exercise every week that will get you in the right direction for your weight loss goals.
Sometimes Surgery is the Best Option (Paired with a Bariatric Diet)
Bariatric surgery is a weight loss option for those who are severely obese and have tried other routes without success. The procedure reduces the size of the stomach, limiting the amount of food you can consume in one sitting. The surgery also reduces the amount of food you can digest (so your body isn't pulling in as many calories as usual on top of the already limited food intake). Physically curbing overeating and digestion in this way can result in significant weight loss. This kind of weight loss strategy can be very successful if combined with an active and healthy lifestyle and a committed bariatric diet after surgery.
Choose What's Best for You
Some people might be more inclined to focus on eating healthier; others might rather step outside for a jog a few times a week. But for some, these strategies have had little effect. For the severely obese, surgery might be the best option. But this choice might be the most difficult of all because surgery will not be successful without a commitment to eating healthier and living an active lifestyle.

Zihuatanejo Information
Zihuatanejo, long before Columbus sailed off to discover the new world, Zihuatanejo was known as "Cihuatlan" which in Nahuatl means "place governed by women", because its indigenous population liven under matriarchal rule.
Only ten minutes away from Ixtapa, life in Zihuatanejo remains focused around the town's main beach with the city pier (where the fishermen arrive with their catch every morning), and its picturesque cobblestone streets. Visitors have the option to stay on one of the inviting little hotels in the center of town like hotel casa Celeste (only 5 suites) a modest apartment, or in one of the small luxury hotels nestled along its lovely beaches (Hotel Casa Don Francisco or Casa Cuitlateca, Villa Carolina, Quinta Troppo).
In the 1950's a number of foreign and national celebrities began discovering Zihua and its picturesque bay. Typically staying in hillside haciendas and homes with stunning views to the bay. Of Zihuatanejo.
This way Zihuatanejo managed to preserve its laid-back way of life that appears, to this date, ruled entirely by the ocean's tides and the gentle sea breeze that ripples the calm surface of its beautiful bay.

That $4 price was for a one sided record. Victor Red Seals were all one sided until the early 1920's when they began to issue them as two sides, often coupling earlier recordings together.
Looks like a hand-cranked 35mm film movie camera. Anyone know what type? Alda has a very modern - today - hair style. Pity about the poor animal around her neck.
[Most of what we see on her head are feathers. - tterrace]
That $4.00 price printed around the spindle hole would be about $95 today. I hope that was for the whole album, not just the one record.
[That was the price of the one disc; the red label Victors were top of the line, reserved for super-star artists. Albums of multiple discs were still in the future. -tterrace]
I've known of the Caruso-Alda collaborations since childhood because of this family artifact that was in our house when I was growing up. This 12-inch 78 undoubtedly came from my mother's side of the family. I can't remember when I first played it, but eventually did so enough that I can still hear it in my mind's ear.
Geek details: It was recorded on January 6, 1910 in New York City, and this pressing dates from before 1915.

Berlin's reputation as a manufacturer of ideas has become legendary. And right at the heart of the city, the epochs and gods of ancient Europe, reaching back to the beginnings of our time, still have the power to leave their mark. You can marvel at these in the five buildings of Berlin's "Museum Island". King Frederick William himself put his seal onto the site by drawing a series of designs for the buildings. Today, the 200-year-old images on display take on a luminous power.
In 1830, the very first visitor entered the Altes Museum (Old Museum) designed by Karl-Friedrich Schinkel. It was the first art museum open to the public in the whole of Prussia, and marked the starting point for what was to become the renowned "Museum Island" of today. The architect working for Frederick William IV would not have been able to foresee what was to become of his "sanctuary dedicated to art and science". The idea, however, was groundbreaking, and the crowds that have continued to visit the Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) since its complete renovation and subsequent re-opening in 2001, have paved the way for a glorious comeback of the "Museum Island".
Just by looking at the location of the first museum building we can understand how highly it ranked for its prominent founder: the Altes Museum was placed along the northern edge of the Lustgarten, which literally means the "Garden of Pleasure", opposite the Royal Palace and embedded between the Cathedral and the Arsenal. This temple of the arts was to play a crucial role at the time: anyone who should so desire was now able to come face to face with and marvel at the most beautiful examples of great works of art. And, quite fittingly, the Latin inscription above the eighteen Ionic monumental columns of the Altes Museum reads: "Frederick William III has dedicated this museum to the study of all antiquity and the liberal arts in 1828". From then on, other educational and cultural institutions followed. Berlin, the capital of Prussia, flourished, and progressively became the "Athens on the Spree", as it is often known today. (The Spree refers not to shopping, but the river Spree!)
Altes Museum (Old Museum), Neues Museum (New Museum), Pergamon Museum, Bode Museum and the Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) – these are all veritable treasure troves all worthy of a visit. It is advisable to allow at least one day for each of the five museums. You will be amazed. In the Bode Museum, you will see the Große Kuppelhalle (Great Domed Hall), which is as spectacular today as it was in the past; the "Basilica", reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance; and religious images of extraordinary visual effect. Such paintings are always far better seen "live" rather than in reproductions, whether they are 200-year-old paintings and objects depicting images of Christ, reaching back to the beginnings of our times, or the delicate structures and brush strokes of 19th century paintings.
The Numismatic Collection at the Münzkabinett (Coin Cabinet) at the Bode Museum, comprising over 800,000 unique items, is the only one of the collections that has survived the chaos of war intact and that has remained in its original location throughout the ages. Great works of art from faraway Byzantium can also be admired at the Bode Museum. The Bode Museum is named after the director of the museum, Wilhelm Bode, an advocate of "Period Rooms." The building is attractively located on the waterfront, and one could easily imagine it as the "Maison de Plaisance" or the summer residence of today. The picturesque Monbijou bridges cross the water of the river Spree in front of the museum. The Altes Museum, with its impressive colonnades and a Rotunda inspired by the Roman Pantheon, possesses an imposing character, equalled by the Pergamon Museum and the Alte Nationalgalerie.
The Altes Museum was the King's first master stroke. It soon attracted a crowd of visitors so large that plans for an extension had to be drafted in response. In 1841, the historic idea for "Museum Island" was devised – the first "master plan" for the system as it stands today. Frederick William IV himself drew sketches for his "antique temple complex" as he envisaged it, rising up from the sandy grounds of the Mark Brandenburg region. By means of a second master plan drafted in 1999, all of the five buildings have once again been made accessible to the public. Not only is the "Museum Island" ranked as world heritage, but also as one of the most important museum complexes of the world.
The construction timeline is very impressive: 1830, the Altes Museum; 1859, the Neues Museum. Then the Alte Nationalgalerie opened its gates in 1876, while what would become the Bode Museum made its appearance in 1904. Only 100 years after construction began, Berlin's "Museum Island" was completed by the Pergamon Museum, in 1930. As early as 1880 the museum directors decided on nothing less than state of the art, and nothing less than high art was accepted. And they succeeded. The Altes Museum houses the great Antikensammlung (antique collection), featuring sculpture, weapons and gold artefacts, from the Ancient Greek and Roman periods. The design of the staircase of the Neues Museum is spectacular in its own right. It enhances interiors presenting great examples of Egyptian Art, papyrus collections, as well as the legendary bust of Nefertiti. At the Alte Nationalgalerie, visitors can enjoy sculptures and paintings from the periods of Classicism and Romanticism, right through to works by Caspar David Friedrich and the French Impressionists.
The last of the five buildings takes its name from the famous Pergamon Altar, which has been reconstructed at the museum. The original was built in the 2nd century BC, the high relief on the base of the altar displaying the battle between the Giants and the Olympian Gods. The 21st century brings forth different heroes, and has a new ring to it. But 21st century people haven't lost the capacity to marvel at the riches left to us from the past.

Friday marked this year's Autumn Equinox so what better excuse to use up the last of summer's Rosé this weekend and turn it into the drink du jour; a cooling Frosé?
This one is really straightforward. Simply pop a bottle of your favourite Rosé into the freezer, checking on it every 30 minutes or so. Give the bottle a gentle shake each time to prevent large ice crystals forming.
When the wine is of a ice-slush consistency, take it out and serve immediately.
As you can see, this household opts for large glasses…
Enjoy your weekends, all!

At the opening of The Town, a smartly-conceived graphic grazes the screen, informing the audience that Boston's Charlestown apparently has the highest population density of bank robbers in the whole country. If this statistic is exaggerated at all, I am still inclined to believe it based on how many 'Boston crime films' I've seen–good ones, too, like The Departed and Mystic River, and even overrated ones like The Boondock Saints, although Gone Baby Gone (also directed by Affleck) is on my List of Shame.
I love genre films, and I tend to give credit to films that at least attempt to elevate themselves beyond the basic emblems of their genre, but in one this crowded, it takes a lot to stand out these days. At Affleck's direction, The Town decides to place itself as a heist-drama and potentially ask the question: "Is bank robbery actually a victimless crime?"
To attempt this, the film tries to place itself firmly in reality while exploring the relationship between bank robbing gang leader Doug (Affleck) and bank manager Claire (Rebecca Hall), who was taken hostage during the film's opening gambit. She also lives in Charlestown, though she is a "Tuni," a newcomer to the neighborhood, and Affleck decides to keep tabs on her as a way to make sure he is not fingered in the investigation.
Doug's time with Claire is contrasted in his relationship with his 'brother,' Jem Coughlin (Jeremy Renner) and his ex, Krista Coughlin (Blake Lively). They are both very much Townies, and have paid the price. Jem seems to know nothing beyond crime and violence, and Renner's performance is almost as explosive as it was in The Hurt Locker. Krista knows drugs, and not much else. Separating Doug and Jem are their ambitions. Doug wants to leave the Town and sees Claire as a way out, while Jem and Krista want him to continue guiding their lives as they stumble from high to high.
This alone would be enough for any film, but we also follow Special Agent Adam Frawley (Jon Hamm), an FBI agent investigating the bank robberies. His storyline closely resembles Al Pacino's in Heat, but with none of the chemistry and none of the pay off. Oh, and there is Affleck's obsession with his disappeared mother. And the gang being pressed into heists by the local crime boss (played by an always-chilling Pete Postlethwaite). Having this many complicated storylines really saps the film of a lot of the momentum.
The biggest problem with the film, however, is that it wants to be both a grounded crime drama and an adrenaline fueled heist movie. This may sound plausible, but the over-the-top nature of the heists and plethora of high powered automatic weapons shatter any plausibility this world has. Exacerbating this is the character choices, which combined with aforementioned amazing heists make this movie feel less Mystic River and more Boondock Saints. This is not a bad thing intrinsically, but they are two drastically different tonalities. There is the intense highs of the heist scenes, leave you gasping for breath but are followed by quiet dramatic scenes so characters can make decisions that make little sense in the real world. In particular, the movie grinds to a halt in exploring the relationship between Doug and Claire, which should really be the heart of the movie.
I don't want to leave you with an overly negative impression, as the highlight of the movie are the heists themselves. They are the best shot and most thought out sequences in the movie, reminiscent of the opening of The Dark Knight. I would watch the whole movie again just to see the heists. Each one escalates the stakes and complexity. I just wish Affleck could have decided which parts of the movie were as important as these and focused on those.

Openmailbox.org - what a mess
Since openmailbox relaunched their website on August 4th (with paid premium options) the site has been a complete mess. When logging into my account, all I get is the never-ending revolving ball on a white background. I cannot access anything within the site. For a brief time I could access my account (for about 15 minutes), and I noticed that they have taken away the ability to create aliases (at least for the free account option). They have also removed the very limited (3) themed-colour options). The remaining colour scheme seems to be a light blue text against a very, very white background, making it almost impossible to read anything. I attempted to compose and send an email. This function does not work. I attempted to forward an existing email to another address. This did not work either. Finally, I created an email and tried to save it to my draft folder. No luck either. Now it is impossible to get into the site. Yet on the homepage the owner indicates that everything is "A-OK - All services functioning normally" WHAT HAS HE BEEN SMOKING???
The owner of this site have not even shown enough common decency to issue an apology on the home page for the massive inconvenience caused by this moneygrab. I have already opened an account with another email provider (yandex). After this fiasco I doubt whether openmailbox will survive, at least with a paid format. People expect better service for their dollars and euros.

I subscribe all the above mentioned issues an add that they offered for the old users a one month premium account just to sync the mail with email clients (with an extremely tricky way of adding new complicate password) but it worked for only one day.
I moved away to Posteo that is a pay for service provider.
If you seriously consider using personal or business email the free options will always end-up in troubles of any kind.
