Withdraw/Transfer money = Inland Revenue Automatically Notified????


Is there a certain amount should you withdraw or transfer to another account in which triggers an automatic notification to the inland revenue - I have heard that there is a 'red flag' amount but have no idea of how much. I understand it is all to do with money laundering etc. Recently I had trouble withdrawing £800 because I didnt have my passport or driving licence!!! - try explaining that to the builders who wanted paying....

In USA use to be $10,000, now its $1000, 800Lbs is about $1000, but arent yall going off the Pound and onto the Euro?

Rainbowfish worth it?


I am thinking about making a community tank with some assorted rainbowfish, IE Boesman, Turqoise, Red, etc....

Has anyone ever taken care of these fish? How are their colors? Are they REALLY that visually stunning?

What would be a good substitute for a colorful fish in my community tank if I don't get the rainbows?

My current setup
55 gallon
2 Pearl Gouramis
2 Dwarf neon blue gouramis
5 Kuhli loaches
1 Rubberlip Pleco
The Gouramis I have selected are peaceful and will do well in a community tank, especially with one another.

The Pleco I have selected will only grow to 6 inches. 1/8th the length of my tank.

i don't think that rainbow fish are all that colorful, i would suggest buying neon tetras.
male guppies are also very colorful, but could be a problem with the gouramis because they tend to nip at the guppies' fins.

What disney movie is the song "Beautiful" from?


The lyrics go:

From the moment I saw you
from the moment I looked into your eyes
ther was something about you
i knew, i knew that we were once in a lifetime
a treasure impossible to find
and i know how lucky i am to have you

cause i've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
the beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day
and when it comes to shooting stars
i have seen a few
but 've never seen anything as beautiful as you

and the second verse goes:
holding you in my arms
no one else has fit so perfectly
i could dance forever with you, with you
and at the stroke of midnight
please forgive me if I can't let go
Cause I never dreamed I'd find
A Cinderella of my own

cinderella!

But Beautiful


But Beautiful


$11.98


There's something in the languid soprano of Jimmy Scott's voice that communicates heartache in a way few other vocalists can touch; even when he's singing a relatively upbeat number, the nooks and crannies of Scott's stretched-out phrasing and subtle vibrato conjure vivid images of late nights and lost loves, while managing to make romantic melancholy sound almost luxurious in its beauty. But Beautiful, Scott's third album for Milestone (and seventh since his comeback in the early '90s -- not bad for a man who once went 15 years between sessions), is cut from the same cloth as his previous sets for the label, Mood Indigo and Over the Rainbow. Producer Todd Barkan has once again set Scott up with a small combo of superb jazz players (including Joe Beck on guitar and guest shots from Wynton Marsalis and Freddy Cole) and subtle but compelling arrangements (mostly by pianist Renee Rosnes) of ten classic standards; if But Beautiful is less ambitious than Scott's "comeback" albums for Warner Bros., there's no arguing that it plays to his strengths and captures Scott in marvelous form. At the age of 76, Scott's voice is losing just a bit of its elasticity, but for the most part his instrument is in surprisingly good shape, and his sense of phrasing remains impeccable; plenty of Oscar-winning actors could not express longing and loss as eloquently as Scott does on "Darn That Dream" and "Please Send Me Someone to Love," and the agonizing clarity of his hope on "When You Wish Upon a Star" is enough to move the hardest heart. Jimmy Scott's recent work gives the lie to F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous remark that there are no second acts in American lives, and if But Beautiful doesn't capture him at the absolute peak of his form, plenty of singers half his age would be grateful to make an album that commanded a fraction of this set's power to move the heart and soul. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Bob Kindred - Sax (Tenor); Eric Alexander - Sax (Tenor); Freddy Cole - Vocals; George Mraz - Bass; Joe Beck - Guitar; Lew Soloff - Trumpet; Lewis Nash - Drums; Little Jimmy Scott - Vocals; Renee Rosnes - Piano; Wynton Marsalis - Trumpet

Whisper of the Star: a review

BOOK REVIEW: DR. R. K. SINGH

CHOI Lai Sheung. Whisper of the Star. A Collection of Poems(Chinese-English Bilingual). Translated by Zhang Zhizhong. Published by The Earth Culture Press (USA), August 2009, Pages 247, Price US $ 10.00. ISBN 978-0-9637599-6-5/A.080

CHOI Lai Sheung, who writes brief personal lyrical poems, is a contemporary Chinese poet, born in Shishi City in Fujian Province but now settled in Hong Kong.  An author of over 70 books and editor-in-chief of the multilingual The World Poets Quarterly, she is also well-versed in calligraphy with an established reputation in gymnastics and swordplay.

Reading her 100 poems in translation, I find Choi a romantic visionary poet, with a matured aesthetic and poetic sense.  Unlike many poets whose verses are flat and stale, Choi’s poems have much of enduring value: Her verses are not only brief and deep but also perfect and significant.  She melds thoughts, feelings and emotions, with high and low of spirit, and spectacles of inner reality:

“How can I who

Is imperfect

Be tolerated by my love

I am all for beauty

But not beauty itself          (p. 227)

Both Choi and Zhang Zhizhong reach a great height of spiritual richness in creating and translating the last two lines of the poem ‘Imperfection’.

When the duo say: “Tenacity is kneaded in wordlessness/Silence is running with tears of heart” (p. 225); “Dreaming to spread my wings of heart/To fly into paradise/With fragrance of the mortal world” (p. 209); “The sea as passion/The rainbow as brush/I dance and soar in the universe” (p. 189); “Just a stretch of rainbow/In a self-less round/Between the sky and the earth” (p. 185); “I am a net in searching and exploring/Cast round the unknown ocean” (p. 183); “The dream is a pure land/Where all hearts are equal” (p. 175); “Rivers and lakes stretch to infinity/Water and the sky share the same color” (p. 165); “The plight of existence  shall be/Conquered under the feet” (p. 137);  “To grow a pot of smiles/Therefrom/Through winds and rains/Concern and passion retain” (p. 131); and  “Lift historical trauma skyward/To wash bright aspiration of the time” (p. 105); I sense an overhead awareness, or the mantric effect a la Sri Aurobindo, the famous Indian poet-philosopher.

Zhang Zhizhong must have found CHOI a difficult poet to translate, particularly for her spiritual consciousness that evades exact expression in English.  Yet he has completed the challenging task so well that I feel a sense of satisfaction, reading Choi’s verses in English.  Both the poets (the translator too is a noted name in contemporary Chinese poetry with considerable experience in bilingual literature, language and cinema) succeed in drilling through “the fence of time and space/and transcend the boundary of nations” (p. 177), thanks to their labor of love and commitment to human unity, universal peace and happiness.

Reading Choi’s poery is like experiencing an ascent to loftiness of love, life, nature, and simplicity.  She reflects an inner culture, the quintessence of the Chinese spirit, which is ever inspiring and ever renewing itself:

“No need to sing fair-sounding songs

No need to compose melodious music

Great passion and emotion

Bring brightness all the way”           (p. 159)

She has a sense of purpose and mission: self-discovery and world-discovery.  With her heart- wings, she soars between heaven and earth (cf. p. 123) and expresses her unity with nature: “As many wonders of the sea/As many wonders of me” (p. 111).  Elsewhere, she says that with a triumphant heart she files and flutters “into heroism and righteousness/Between heaven and earth” (p 149), and scales a new height in her consciousness: “I am going to/Prove my position/With my craggy/Integrity” (p. 155). She sounds like Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri when she asserts: “Straight and erect is the strength of character” and “Climbing and rising is moral integrity” (p. 147). Evolution to her means awakening to the self, or raising the life and existence to a higher level of consciousness.  Unity, harmony and love are her key notes.

Like a yogin, with perfect inner discipline, Choi “takes up pen as a hoe/To plough fertile land in silence/For the seeds to break ground and sprout” (p. 145).  It is with evolving soul-awareness, “with erect beauty” and “unyielding floral spirit” that she seek to prove her own individual existence.

Choi Lai Sheung’s excellence lies in her freshness in each poem. She is not imitative of the past, nor does she think and feel in any pre-established ways.  By her own admission, she is an “industrious tiller” who tries “to reach perfection along with the inclination and seasons/To bring fruits upon fruits” (p. 23). Her poetic genius achieves an excellent balance between what is conventionally available in  some of the best Chinese lyrical poetry and what we have been reading in contemporary poetry in English elsewhere. With her fresh insights into the nature of human experiences, the reality of “a colorful life”, she appeals richly to our senses, imagination, emotion, and intellect.

Dr Zhang Zhizhong as translator appears to have really worked hard to prove how well Choi’s diverse materials of the poem are integrated and how successful she has been in proportion to its tight structure.  Each word he chooses appears the right word, if not the bet word, for expressing the total meaning of the poet.  The diction and images are not trite but fresh.  It goes to his credit that in his English rendering there is no clash between the sound of the poem and its sense.  Images and ideas are so effectively arranged that any rearrangement would result in harming the poem or its form and content.  I whole-heartedly appreciate the positive excellence of both CHOI and Zhang Zhi. They both deserve world recognition.
