clipper's remarks: have two choices when it comes to beating the filters. One is to avoid using these words and phrases altogether. .. hard to do
second choice is to disguise these words and phrases in clever ways by inserting keyboard symbols within them and/or replacing a letter in them with a symbol. The trick is not to make it too cryptic...use "fr*ee" for free.. the points this tactic costs, penalize's you much less than using the words and phrases themselves. It's not a perfect solution.
It's a great idea to test how YOUR e-zine stacks up before you send it out. The good news is you can do this for FREE.

Lyris' Content Checker (http://www.lyris.com/contentchecker/) tells you how your e-zine ranks in Spam Assassin. All you do is copy your e-zine text and paste it into the box on their site..report will tell you exactly which words are costing you points. you should only be concerned if your score is over 5 points. If so, you can either delete those words or disguise them

This deluge of irritating junk has unfortunately interfered with legitimate e-zine publishers, because we're caught in the anti-spam crossfire. If you publish any type of e-mail publication, there's a likely chance that your e-zine is NOT reaching a portion of your readers. Why? Their Internet service provider (ISP) or e-mail program uses a spam filter.

These software programs search for words and phrases that are typical of spam and assign each incoming e-mail a "score." If your e-mail has too many of these words and phrases, you receive a high score, and you may be blocked.

Djokovic slams Federer

"It's just an amazing and undescribable feeling to beat the No.1 player of the world, probably one of the best the sport (has) ever had, in straight sets," Djokovic said.

"I am very, very proud of myself.

"It's difficult to play against a player who is dominant on every surface. He has all the crowd behind him but I amazed with the way I coped with the pressure.

"In the most important moments, I played my best tennis."

The supremely-confident Serb has been spruiking for the past year about being the man to dethrone Federer

Pairing the right wine to food

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:55:10 GMT

clipped by: boozich
clipper's remarks: Next, look at the flavour intensity. Food with strong flavours like Chinese, or Indian curries, want equally vibrant and fruity wines
Perhaps the most important thing to know when deciding what wine goes best with which food is what is actually going on in your mouth. We taste sweetness on the tips of our tongues, acidity on the sides, salty in the middle and bitterness at the back - Then there is the fiendishly amazing umami, the fifth taste.
Umami is sexy but it hates the powerful wines,"
illustrated by sampling the various foods mentioned - The sweet red apple makes your lips turn down with sauvignon blanc, but suck on a lemon then sip the same wine and it's like the floodlights have come on inside your mouth

Clip Source: www.tonight.co.za

Katinka van Niekerk, who is a food and wine pairing specialist, has a very definite method for this exercise

she talks about pinotage being the slutty wine with fishnet stockings and decolletage which goes with everything

sauvignon blanc

she confides, is always on the "edge of a nervous breakdown".

Although she says she can understand the interior decorative value of matching red wine with red meat and white with fish, Van Niekerk dismisses this colour co-ordination as hopelessly outdated.

Instead of rules, Van Niekerk prefers to offer three important tips. "If you have a rule, you should do your best to break it," she instructs with a smile.

very simple. First, match the weight of the wine with the weight of the food. For example, beef stroganoff - or even a pepper burger from a fast food chain; it's the same principle. That needs an equally creamy white wine. Something like a salad or fish would prefer something lighter so you'd steer away from the heavy reds

insight into the music industry

clipper's remarks: David Byrne and Thom Yorke on the Real Value of Music- the interview gives amazing insight into why Radiohead bypassed the "regular music industry" route.

more than a million fans downloaded In Rainbows. Roughly 40 percent of them paid for it, at an average of $6 each, netting the band nearly $3 million. Plus, since it owns the master recording (a first for the band), Radiohead was also able to license the album for a record label to distribute the old-fashioned way — on CD

Byrne:

What you did with this record wasn't traditional, not even in the sense of sending advance copies out to the press and such.

Yorke: The way we termed it was "our leak date." Every record for the last four — including my solo record — has been leaked. So the idea was like, we'll leak it, then.

Yorke: Yeah, and then you'd ring up and say, "Did you like it? What did you think?" And it's three months in advance. And then it'd be, "Would you go do this for this magazine," and maybe this journalist has heard it. All these silly games.
