  Can someone confirm?

  Can change.
  
  i took insurance certificate course in 1996 and the insured only need to fill in a new nomination form and submit it. Or any new will will suffice, if it name a new wife or any other person to be the beneficiary to the payout.
  
  However, when it says it cannot change, it maybe that its was not the husband holding the insurance.
  
  It can go something like, You as a wife, buys insurance on your husband's life. Anything happens to him. The money goes to you. Period. Just like how you would buy insurance on certain goods. So if the goods kaputed, you get some $$$ on what you insured on.
  
  So of course that cannot change. Unless the owner of that insurance stop payments or discard the policy.

  What are you cooking?
  
  Oh yeah, Harry Potter is out isn't it. Think it came out yesterday. Probably will go and see it next tuesday when it's cheap.
  
  It's very cold over here!!

  jetta,
  
  I'm in the process of shopping around for a flat-panel plasma TV now, and Sears has the best price for the particular model I'm thinking of getting. Would you happen to know of any current discount or promotional codes that could help bring the price even lower?

  I think Harry Potter will be showing here on the 17th...and all the engish and chinese newspapers are full of him and his first onscreen kiss for the past few days (milk the publicity machine! )
  
  There's also mention of Daniel's next movie (another HP?) whereby he will have a bedscene or something? The Chinese paper wasn't clear on this bit.

  Why plasma TV? I heard LCD TV is better.

  Oh, one of the few times we get the latest movies before Singapore. Anyway, it was odd though as I thought they try to release the movie on the same day globally.

  Oh, sorry, I just checked, coz I realised 17th is a monday which is not possible. It's being released on the 12th, not 17th, which is today!

  Wider viewing angle and no image tearing/ghosting. The current generation of plasma panels now lasts at least as long as the LCD panels.

  Hmm...i was curious as to which movie that would be.
  
  BTW, I caught David Copperfield on arts central 2 nights' ago, and was surprised that the little boy David was played by a very cute, wide-eye Daniel Radcliffe. He was really cute as a little boy and a wee bit chubby.

  LOL Adorable. I noted David Copperfield was showing but didn't watch.
  Thing about the now-older Daniel that I find disconcerting is that his complexion is so pale and waxy, looks very odd leh He needs a tan.
