I am very excited to share some fantastic new reference pictures of the armor and vest !!!
The full gallery is here:
Boba Fett ESB Promotional Armor 2 - The Dented Helmet Gallery
These pictures originate from the new Blu Ray bonus discs and were screen-capped for us by a friend.
Aside from being wonderful reference for anyone wishing to make replica armor or vests, these pictures are significant in a number of ways.
Before we saw these it was not known how much of the Pre-Production 2 costume survived in the present day. We knew the helmet and jetpack are in private hands but it has long been rumored that the PP2 costume was stolen from LFL in the time when Empire was been made. While other parts may well have been stolen these pictures prove at least some of the suit is safe and sound in the archives!
Here are the armor parts identified.
Very cool to see some better pictures of PP2 armor plates!
The two plates that are not the same as in the PP2 Kenner photoshoot were actually arranged this way sometime during the time when these costumes were used in promotional appearances (see below)
So really these new pictures show a complete set of promotional chest armor. But for PP2 fans like me, it is thrilling to see the armor is still around.
And not just the armor, but the vest as well.
By matching the dye spot pattern I have matched this vest to the PP2 vest.
Its a bit hard to see but I think everything compares very well! Another PP2 piece accounted for.
I hope you all share the excitement I had when seeing these for the first time. A big thanks to Rodrigo for the screen caps and to Art for putting them up!
Year of the PP2 indeed...

I don't know how I missed dwellinggawker the first time around, but now that I've found it I'm hooked! Like foodgawker and craftgawker which feature food and crafts this gawker focuses on the home. Here you'll find amazing homes, design, and projects that you can DIY for yourself to put in your own home. I love the DIY entries because my Dad taught me with a little ingenuity and a trip to the hardware store you can make just about anything yourself to fill a need around the home.
As with all the gawker sites, if you click on the picture of a post you like, you will be whisked away to the blog that it came from. Some of the pictures will take you to instructions on how to make a project for your own home. For example #4200 – an adorable, under-the-bed storage chest made from one sheet of plywood.
I can't believe that I only just noticed that the entries are numbered! What a great way to share your favorite images with your friends and family! I'd also suggest if you are looking for the DIY projects that you scroll to the bottom of the page where all the tags are listed and select DIY, otherwise you'll spend a lot of time wading through gorgeous design pictures and might forget why you're there! To the right of the tags there is also a category listing that will make it easier to browse for what you're looking for.
In order to favorite any of the pictures you like or post your own to be reviewed for submission, you will need to register for an account. Thankfully, registration is easy to do! Just click Register at the top left of the page. Then a registration form will appear at the left side of the page. Fill it out by providing a username, password, and a working e-mail address, and then click Register. It will automatically log you in and you can start favoriting projects you like right away!
The navigation tabs work the same as the other gawkers so, you'll find several that change the way you're viewing the page. They are: Latest (the default way of viewing), Popular (what do other people like), and Randomize (a completely random selection of projects to check out).
To favorite a picture of stellar design or a handy dandy DIY project just click on the little heart in the bottom left corner of the border around the picture. The image will then flip over and you can add notes, and tags to it, then click save. It will tell you if it saved at the top of the picture. You can also double check by clicking Favorites on the navigation tabs at the top of the page.
And again, I would highly recommend that you check out the FAQ before doing so. You'll find everything that you need to know to ensure that your project is accepted, rather than denied.
I love sites like this because they provide so much in the way of inspiration for your own projects and offer much in the way of education through sections like the DIY. Check it out today!

Many CIOs, technical architects as infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals in Chinese companies are struggling with the pressures of all kinds of business and IT initiatives as well as daily maintenance of system applications. At the same time they are trying to figure out what should be right approach for the company to adapt technology waves like cloud, enterprise mobility, etc., to survive in highly competitive market landscape. Among all the puzzles for the solution of strategic growth, Operating System (OS) migration might seem to have the lowest priority: business application enhancements deliver explicit business value, but it's hard to justify changing operating systems when they work today. OS is the most fundamental infrastructure software that all other systems depend on, so the complexity and uncertainty of migrations is daunting. As a result, IT organizations in China usually tend to live with the existing OS as much as possible.
Take Microsoft Windows for example. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 have been widely used on client side and server side. Very few companies have put Windows migration on its IT evolution roadmap. However, I believe the time is now for IT professionals in Chinese companies to seriously consider putting Windows upgrade into IT road map for the next 6 months for a couple of key reasons.
Windows XP and pirated OS won't be viable much longer to support your business.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately guys. As some of you know I took a job rotating 2 and 2's on the slope last December. When I'm up there the internet access is a little spotty to say the least and now that we are out on the dirt clod, also known as Oooguruk Island (yes, that is how it is spelled with 3 o's) I'm sure the communications are going to get worse and not better. On the plus side I've seen a lot of really neat birds in the last couple weeks and managed to get a couple crappy pics of a few of them.

Lesley alumni and friends contribute over $25,000 toward a scholarship in honor of beloved retired Professor Mary Mindess.
Lesley's first student recipient of the Mary Mindess Scholarship will be chosen for the 2013-2014 academic year, thanks to the generosity of 175 donors who topped the matching gift goal of $25,000. This past spring on the occasion of Professor Mindess' retirement from Lesley, President Moore announced that Lesley would match the first $25,000 donated in honor of Mary Mindess, so the amount of this endowed scholarship fund now exceeds $50,000. The income generated from this scholarship will be awarded annually to a deserving student who otherwise would not be able to attend Lesley University.
Mary Mindess is grateful to all those alumni and friends who have contributed in her honor to establish this endowed scholarship that will benefit this and future generations of Lesley students and serve as a lasting tribute to her. She says, "I am deeply moved by the generosity shown to Lesley on my behalf by so many past students and friends. My 53 years of teaching at Lesley have been filled with wonderful memories. I have watched thousands of Lesley students graduate to become excellent teachers in schools throughout the country and abroad. I am so pleased that this scholarship will contribute to the continuation of this tradition."
Beloved long-time Lesley University Professor Mary Mindess retired in 2012 after 53 years of service. Her legacy of excellence in teaching and leadership in her field will be remembered for many years to come, and her reach extends beyond the walls of the university and into the classrooms of the teachers she trained, and the many attendees of the New England Kindergarten Conferences she led.
To honor Mary's exemplary career and service to the university, she was awarded an honorary doctoral degree at the 2012 Commencement.
"Over the span of her career, Mary has positively influenced thousands of teachers of young children, and one can only imagine the total number of children who in turn have benefited by her teaching, her scholarship and her passion," said President Moore. "This scholarship is our modest way of recognizing her impressive achievements." Lesley University is grateful to everyone who contributed to the Mary Mindess Scholarship fund and made it possible to honor Mary in this special and lasting way. Many of our donors shared their thoughts on Mary's career and how her work had influenced them over the years.

Alonso opted to skip the first test in Jerez a fortnight ago to rest and build up his fitness, the Spaniard finally sitting in the cockpit of the new F138 on Tuesday.
Allowed three successive days behind the wheel, Alonso conjured a lap of one minute 21.875secs around the Circuit de Catalunya to top the timesheet. The double world champion's time, set on the soft compound of Pirelli tyres, was just 0.067s slower than that of Sergio Perez's quickest so far this week in his McLaren on Wednesday.
Nico Hulkenberg finally showed what the Sauber is capable of as the German finished second fastest, 0.285s adrift of Alonso, again on the soft tyre.
It was the same story for Romain Grosjean as he finished a third of a second down on the Spaniard in a Lotus in which team-mate which Kimi Raikkonen could only manage 87 laps over his two days due to a data issue on Tuesday and gearbox change on Wednesday.
Grosjean, however, completed a full race simulation of 66 laps in the afternoon which required four pit stops, for a total of 119 laps for the day overall.
Behind the leading trio were Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, who was fastest on Tuesday, and whose best time on Thursday of 1:22.611 was again on medium - compound tyres, just 0.005s quicker than two days ago.
The Williams' pairing of Pastor Maldonado and rookie Valtteri Bottas split the day's programme between them, with the Venezuelan finishing 0.151s quicker than the Finn.
Jenson Button enjoyed a steady day in his McLaren to wind up seventh and within a second of Alonso. Down in eighth, and in an F1 car for the first time since the 2011 Brazilian Grand Prix was Adrian Sutil for Force India.
Vying for the second race seat at the team alongside current reserve Jules Bianchi, who takes up the reins on Friday - although rain is forecast for the entire day - the German posted a time of 1:22.877s.Reuse content


text: Hi everyone!! My boyfriends birthday is coming up and he is a HUGE star wars fan... especially of Boba Fett. I was thinking of getting him a helmet, a real one or collectors, that has the dent along with the scratches. Not the cheesy ones with only a little dent and a few scratches, but like the one shown here (minus the autograph, I already have it lined up to get one from Jeremy Bulloch)-----> If anyone could help me out with this, or has one to sell, that would be great!!

Opening Hour

The food is excellent and made to go with friends and drink. And that is what Buritara is really all about. There are of course the usual Thai suspects to be found at any gathering of friends, but there are also some interesting concoctions hard to find anywhere else. Spicy fresh female crab egg salad is not for the tender of palate, but is recommended here. Fresh oysters, New Zealand mussels, prawns and a plethora of Thai and Western fish creations also lend a heavy hand to the menu. There are also stir-fried dishes in the Thai and Chinese style. The huge menu accommodates Western dishes as well. Duck breast with caramelised red onions and marmalade is superb.

screen as I'm painting, and use those to make sure I'm getting the shapes and the very finest details
correct as I'm going along.
UPDATE: July 31, 2013
Got the back panels prepped for dark green. The Concrete dried overnight, and this afternoon I stenciled
on the color breaks. Since I've done a GMH or two before :p I already have a complete set of stencils that
fit this helmet. That's a big time saver! Here are two shots with the stencils applied.
Once the stencils were on, I used my trusty Winsor & Newton masking fluid to fill in the areas that
will remain Concrete. The masked areas appear slightly darker and shiny in the pics below.
I had to do some running around this afternoon, so I'm going to wait until tomorrow to airbrush
the dark green mix. I never like feeling like I'm trying to beat the clock. More to come! :)

I started shooting steel through my g27 and it keeps stove piping...I though glocks could take any ammo, anyone else having this issue?

I started shooting steel through my g27 and it keeps stove piping...I though glocks could take any ammo, anyone else having this issue?
Are you limp wristing ????
Most steel-case handgun ammo is, in my opinion and experience, crap. It's not a Glock problem; many guns will not work, or work well, with certain types and/or brands of ammunition, especially with the least expensive import stuff.
Put crap gasoline in your car, and its performance will suffer, too. Spend the extra couple of bucks per box to get some decent brass-case ammo; your Glock, and your confidence in its reliability, are worth it.
DJ nailed it. Not all ammo is created equally. "I only have a problem when I use ammo x. What is wrong with my gun?" That is using bad logic.
No issue with my G27 and most cheap ammo. Switch up to a cheap brass.
Moderator. Please delete this post.
It should function well with any ammo. My guess is that you're not limp wristing, but not using enough grip strength. Squeeze the grips a little harder and try it--the gun needs some resistance to its recoil to function, man.
That may be true, but the ammo is still the problem. Using questionable ammo because you have figured out how to make it work is not something I would personally recommend. Put a band-aid on crappy ammo and hope it works when needed if you want. I would blast it off at the range and never buy that kind again.
I would just spend the couple extra bucks a box a buy some good ammo that I wouldn't have to worry about.
With that said the only ammo I have ever had problems with is the Tula stuff from walmart. I bought it once and that was enough for me. Now I buy Federal, Winchester, or Remington.
Steel ammo is a problem with many platforms. It does not expand like brass filling the chamber, thus the chamber becomes fouled causing poor extraction. It is frequently underpowered as well. The reason AK's run so well on it is that the camber is tapered.
why do people use steel ammo?
Please cease and desist. lol
I only shoot brass out of my guns and have only had 2 jams (both the very first pistol I bought due to limp wristing) in all of my outings firing weapons

Right.. Time to bite the bullet. I'm nervous to show this here.
Here's the beginning of my costume, still got a lot to do on it.
I've got a SFP jumpsuit on it's way, have to figure out a final way to attach the armor, and need to get the proper gun.
I've not adjusted the flare of the Helmet, nor have I completed the gauntlets.
Unfortuntally there aren't any pics of the Jet Pack in this run, but I'll get round to that soon.
The Armor and Bucket where painted with the major help of a friend of mine, I did the construction.
Here's hoping the link works!
And yes if your counting there is a pic missing, but I don't think you want to see it! :o

Lawmakers look to ban teen tanning
(Columbus) - Once again state lawmakers in Ohio want to make it illegal for anyone under 18 to use tanning beds.
The legislation would only allow minors to tan with a doctor's permission. For parents like Susan Newton of Dublin the bigger issue is taking away her right to decide what's best for her children.
"As a parent I would like the ability to continue to make those choices for my children and I would imagine that other parents would appreciate that ability as well," she told lawmakers during a hearing on the bill.
The bill would punish the tanning salons and not the teens for violation of the law. Owners would face fines up to $1,500 and could have their license revoked. In severe cases violations could end with two months in jail.
The issue is skin cancer. Opponents of tanning beds say they're a major contributor to skin cancer and the biggest issues are found in people who start tanning early.
According to data from the American Cancer Society, skin cancer cases have risen from 500,000 to 1.2 million each year over the last 20 years. Melanoma is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women between the ages of 25-29. Women between the ages of 30-34 die from melanoma more often than other forms of cancer, with the exception of breast cancer. For men between the ages of 20-29, melanoma is the most deadly form of cancer.
Tanning bed operators argue that they operate responsibly and aren't out to simply make a buck while putting people at risk.
"People are naturally drawn to the sun. With today's lifestyles we have a lot less time to be outside," said Daniel Caskey, a Cincinnati man who operates 11 Palm Beach Tan locations in Ohio.
He says teens make up about 10 to 15 percent of their revenue.
"I believe that it would actually increase sun burn incidents in Ohio and definitely harm legitimate businesses," he said.
Caskey says that's because tanning beds allow users to develop a base tan and avoid burning.
This is the third time the bill has come up in recent years at the Ohio Statehouse.
The bill's sponsors, including State Rep. Terry Johnson (R-Portsmouth) - a doctor - think this is a matter of public safety.

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by LA Dre, Nov 28, 2012.
Michigan wins by one point. Cheering for them has become a Trey of life......
Trey saves the Wolverines from themselves. Michigan destroyed on the boards as usual. I think State wins on a neutral court. No-shows like Hardaway and Robinson put tons of pressure on Burke to produce. UM absolutely has to get much better front-court play. Spartans didn't have their "A" game at all today (shot less than 40% from the field), but they hung around and came pretty close to stealing one at Crisler.
Trey saved the day with the those two steals in the last 20 seconds, but his over dribbling and missed reversed layups down the stretch got them in trouble to begin with. The home court is really doing it for the Wolverines ..17-0...Now they got Purdue on the road and the Hoosiers at home next Sunday...Will get a guaranteed # 2 seed win with W's over those two. .They probably need to win the big 10 championship for a # 1 seed. MSU will need to do the same.
Only got to watch the last minute. Critical missed FT's by both teams. MSU really should have been able to get a shot off.
Trey Burke's two huge last-minute steals clinch Michigan's 58-57 victory | The Dagger: College Basketball Blog - Yahoo! Sports
MSU was in trouble on that last shot even if he didn't steal it. That's why they gambled with such a bad pass.
Michigan has given up the winning shot a couple of times in the past three years. You have to wonder if Izzo had let his team play it out after McGary missed the front end of the one and one, would the M defense had allowed the Spartans to dribble it down and go for the winner instead of calling the TO with 4.9 seconds left. I think there was 9 seconds left after the miss and everybody in America figured that the Spartans were going to go down and drain a dagger GW.
Nice comeback the Wolverines who erased a 12 point deficit with about 12 mins left in the game and win on the road vs Purdue 80-75. Trey Burke once again showed why he is one of the premier players in the country, scoring 10 of the Wolverines last 16 points, including clutch FT's when it appeared that the Boilermakers would never go away. Finally after going 0-4 on the road in February the Wolves get their first road win since they beat the Illini in Champaign in January. Now it's all down to one game vs IU at home Sunday to see if they get a share of the regular season big 10 crown.
Before I get to Big Ten basketball i need to vent. So I'm talking to this stupid beotch, Well she is actually a nice lady when it comes to anything other than Boise State sports. But she tells me how well the Boise State basketball team is doing this year. I was like really? Are they going to be going to the 64 dance? She said maybe they are a bubble team. They are doing pretty good but there is no way they get in that tournament. They are so disillusioned. She told me that the conference they were in is the second best In the nation. She said she found it hard to believe herself but they sure are. That is quite Boise State may not make it. But she hears Michigan State is doing well themselves. When she told me about Moisies conference my jaw dropped. I nicely said there is no way. But she was insistent. And shook her head Maybe she meant the Big East. But they don't play there. Yup she said a couple of teams were ranked and they were number two. Oh they are number two alright but not in the rankings. Ignorant. Just downright ignorant And it comes to Boise State. I went to a Halloween party Around two years ago and this stupid a hole Wanted to fight me when he thought I was belittling Boise State for losing to Michigan State. And I really was not. I'm kind of sorry we didn't Fight but really I am in no condition to do so and it is just stupid. But two years prior I would've kicked his butt, And probably would have, LOL. I was thinking I will own your business take a shot at me, But I deescalated it since I knew it was so stupid. Uh But I digress. I think Michigan may make it To the Sweet 16 but no further. They just don't seem to be playing well latelyat this time. year, I am not sure Michigan State will make it to the Sweet 16. They probably will because of their coach but I don't think they can go further. because they are losing the close ones to good teams. .
This may be the year when final four only has one or two teams left that are a 1 or 2 seeds. The Big 10 will probably get 7-8 teams left, and it would sweet if all got into the sweet 16, but then they would start playing each other and in the end, only one is left in the final four....probably the Hoosiers....
Yeah, I do see the Hoosiers making it to the final 4, and one other Big Ten team going to the final 8. It's really a fun tournament, especially the first couple rounds. Who will be the tournament darling? I think Boise State. Haha, just joking of course. I doubt they could even dream of a NIT slot. I think a team named after someone like George Washington Academy or maybe the George Lopez Institute.It is only fun for me when MSU...or even U of M is in it. or when I fill out a card... LOl...I absolutely despise it when peoe come to the door trying to sell stuff or convert me so i can find Jesus.Ive been thinking about inviting them inside and pretending to try to do the same to them. Lol. I just chased a couple of old Jehovas Witnesses away. Last week it was Latter Day Saints. Hey, I totally respect all religions except those damned devil worshippers. But at least they don't bother me. Hello...if I wanted to convert I would do it on my own. It is difficult for me to go to the door! I thought word had got around to skip my house or pay the price.they usually do. Dang, I was too nice (at least i didnt slam the door)to these two guys. I actually let them get two entire sentences in, lol! Ok, just venting.i Apologize in advance for offending anyone. My filters don't work any longer. Again, as long as you don't dance naked while sacrificing or torturing a live cat, you are good with me. I just don't think anyone has it completely right. That would leAve too many other people wrong. Ok...I know mods...to the penalty box. Post deleted or partially censored.
Those LDS kids work hard man! I always hook 'em up with some complimentary bicycle repair out of my garage and they're always appreciative.
The dance is all about guard play these days and Mich has one of the best, so I won't bet against them.... Depends on how the bracket falls out, if they get a good matchup for there first 2 games and get hot... I won't bet against them. I can see alot of Big Ten teams making a serious push once they don't have to play another Big Ten team. Look who the current number one team in the country is and they have a lose to Ill.
Lol, I know. They have no choice in the matter. i got nothing against them personally. They seem like good kids. They're always polite. I'm just getting to be a cranky old geezer like Woody. Meanwhile back at the ranch, how many Big Ten teams get invited!? 5?,6?, 7? It may depend on the last few gAmes and the Big Ten tournament?
Having been one of those kids myself 10 years ago, thanks. You are a good person. This doesn't get you out of our avatar wager, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Haha, Jeremy. I almost didn't write the post because I didn't want to offend you. But it's like this: You know I love and respect you. If you are ever in Boise, I would welcome you and your wonderful family into our home with open arms. I promise to also have a really nice dinner waiting for the lot of you. HOWEVER, if you come knocking on my door trying to convert me I'm going to slam that door in your face whether your nose is in it or not. LMAO. Just kidding...kind of. ALSO: I'm sure you had a choice comment in invisible yellow (of course I noticed the gap below the " good person" joke, but you guys are wasting it on me because I can't get it to show up on my iphone. So you gotta just say it. I know I'm missing good stuff.
I lol'd. Nah, no secret message this time. Just a dramatic pause. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You guys ride around on some pretty broke-ass bicycles. Last summer there was a couple dudes working my hood on these klunkers. I waved 'em over to my driveway and one kid's bike was squeeking like Gilbert Gottfried. ...Thing sounded terrible. I asked him, "Dude, how you gonna sneak up on people and spread the good word of Joseph Smith on P-O-S like that? Heathens like me can hear you guys comin from a mile away!" They both laughed. I busted out some tools, some TriFlow™ and my air compressor and set 'em straight.
Lmao. True story. I'm such an idiot. I was seeing these dudes on said black rickety 1967 fender bikes for the 1st three years we lived in Idaho. One seemed always to have on his glasses. One day, sometime in the 3rd year or so, while driving home from dinner out with the family, I saw these two guys riding. Darth:: look at those two guys on bikes.i see them everywhere all the time all over town on those old bikes.rain or shine they are riding. Mrs. Darth: they are Mormons. Darth: most people around here are. Mrs. Darth: yeah they are on their missions. Darth: how long do they have to do it for? I've seen those two since we've lived here. Haven't you noticed? Mrs Darth: For a summer or something. Darth: not those two guys. They are out there no matter what the weather is like. All year round. Theyve been trying their arses off since we've moved here. They must not be reaching their "quota of recruits" Mrs Darth: Who? Their what? Darth: Those two guys. I've probably slammed our door in their faces at least three times. You would think they would cross us off their list to renember us. they are just retracing their steps. Dumb guys. They will be old men before they get enough people to join. MrsDarth: I wish you would stop being so mean to people who come to our door. M Darth: I wish YOU would stop buying stuff from everyone ringing our bell. * an argument ensued. Darth: well anyhow they need to buy new bikes. Maybe those two are poor. They need to get jobs.they must be sick of riding those for at least three years. Mrs. Darth: huh, what?? Their parents should buy them new bikes for Christmas. Or don't they celebrate it? Mrs. Darth: huh? Uhmm... It's not like they are the same two guys. * by now kids in backseat are cracking up although Im not sure why? Darth: of course they are. Look. Same old bikes. Ties. The one used to have glasses. He must have got new contact lenses. What? Do you think more than two guys would ride around the city in suits on crappy bikes with those dopey helmets? M * kids in peanut gallery can't catch their breath they are laughing so hard. Mrs. Darth: I told you they were on their missions!! Darth:Yeah right. Looks like Mission Impossible. You really need to be more observant. *Mrs.Darth now in hysterics as we pull up in the driveway. Conversation over..for now... But I kid you not, every time over the next couple of years when we saw them we would have similar discussions until One summer I noticed that we saw them again about 12 miles down the road about fiftleem miles down the road a few miutes after sering them the first time that day. Darth: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Dumb Dunb Dumb!!! I guess Green Acres really IS the place for me.

As a microbiologist I enjoy listening to your broadcasts. However, I was very disappointed on the one about Salomonella in cantaloupe and E. coli O157:H7 in Lebanon bologna. Many incorrect statements were made, such as "Salmonella enteritidis is the species", The species is Salmonella enterica. Also, it is not necessary for Salmonella to grow in a food to cause illness as was stated by one of the guests. Many foods that do not allow the growth of Salmonella (peanut butter, dry cereal, etc.) have caused outbreaks of salmonellosis. FDA does not regulate plants that make bologna - all such meat plants are regulated by USDA. Also, it was obvious that the guests knew very little about how fermented meats are manufactured and what factors are involved in destruction of E. coli O157:H7. It actually is a combination of pH, heat and time, not just pH as was mentioned.
The basic problem with this program was that none of your guests was a food microbiologist, so most of the conversation involved a lot of guessing. In the future I strongly recommend that you include guests that have expertise in the area of microbiology the program is addressing, so that they know what they are talking about!
Looking forward to more high quality TWIM programs!

Get a whiff of this: Low-cost sensor can diagnose bacterial infectionsvia ScienceDaily: Latest Science News on 4/27/11
Bacterial infections really stink. And that could be the key to a fast diagnosis. Researchers have demonstrated a quick, simple method to identify infectious bacteria by smell using a low-cost array of printed pigments as a chemical sensor. In only a few hours, the array not only confirms the presence of bacteria, but identifies a specific species and strain. It even can recognize antibiotic resistance -- a key factor in treatment decisions.

Dear TWiM,
First of all I'd like to say that i really enjoy your podcast, its both informative and easy to listen to. I listen to it when i go on my long runs and it makes them go by so much faster! However, on one of these long runs I happened to see an oil sheen in the river next to the trail, and it got me thinking about oil degrading bacteria. I don't know much about them but I would really like to learn more and if possible I would love to see a TWiM about oil degrading bacteria. You could even tie it in with the one year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and talk about the impact the bacteria may or may not have made in the cleanup efforts.
Sincerely, Kendall an undergrad bio major

As a chemical engineer who has learned more than his share of physical chemistry over the years, I really enjoy your facility with the electro chemical aspects of biological systems. I am hoping you can provide some insight into something that has always seemed to be a paradox to me. (Note: the guys on TWIV seem to be somewhat mathphobic, so you are my last hope...!)
The third law of thermodynamics regards the property of Entropy and basically states that the amount of disorder in any system must always increase. This makes sense to me as an engineer in that there is always lost work or waste energy (heat, friction, chemical wastes, etc) generated. While living things obviously obey the third law, it has always amazed me that life processes seem to be about creating order out of disorder in incredibly complex ways. The more I listen to the TWIV, TWIP, TWIM podcasts the more striking it becomes.
Viral proteins that self assemble!
DNA and RNA that form machines to make more DNA and RNA!
Flagella motors!
Folding proteins!
Viruses that infect caterpillars and make a smell that attracts wasps to get a flight to a new host!
Ion selective membranes to send signals in cells
This is the stuff that makes science fun! I can appreciate that living systems consume high quality energy sources to create their ordered systems but the whole thing seems so counter to the idea of entropy that I feel like I am missing something.
So my question is do you have any insights into entropy and biological systems that will illuminate my understand and answer the age old question of "What up with that!? Thanks as always for all the great science.

text: I think about this topic every now and then, and while I have favourite skaters from pretty much every country that has figure skaters, I think I've liked pretty much every skater or team from France that's had any international success. I started thinking about the various French skaters and realized, "I have never found any French skater or team to be boring". I know the song is about the U.S.A., but the thought that just went through my head was, "God Bless The French" (says the devout atheist!). So which country, other than your own, has the skaters that you just looooove? P.S. I made the poll multiple choice, so you can pick as many countries as you like (love).

CHARITON, Iowa ― Beef producers interested in learning how to optimize forage and livestock production while conserving natural resources will want to consider attending the popular southern Iowa Greenhorn Grazing series. Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach beef program specialist Joe Sellers is organizing this series, which consists of five day-long modules set for May through November. The program brochure is available on the IBC website.
"This five-part series is valuable for beginning graziers and producers interested in upgrading their pasture management," Sellers said. "Presenters will include experts in grazing systems, animal performance, fencing and watering systems, and weed management."
Sellers and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) area grasslands specialist Rick Sprague are coordinating the program that has drawn upwards of 140 participants over the past four years.
"This series was developed by ISU Extension and Outreach, NRCS and industry staff to deliver timely materials and hands-on workshops for producers interested in improving their forage management system," Sellers said. "Producers will learn how to improve the productivity and use of their land."
The workshops are scheduled for May 24, June 14, Aug. 23, Sept. 13 and Nov. 15. All sessions will run from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. beginning with morning classroom discussions at the Adair County Extension office in Greenfield. Following a working lunch, the afternoon portion will feature activities at local farms.
Grants from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the Iowa Beef Center, the Southern Iowa Forage and Livestock Committee, and NRCS help keep the series cost low at $75. Participants are urged to attend all sessions, but fees for individual sessions are available. The fee includes a meal and educational materials for each session.
Producers are asked to register by May 21 by contacting Kathy Rohrig at the Adair County Extension Office by phone at 641-743-8412 or by email at email@example.com. Registration fees can be mailed to the office at 154 Public Square, Suite C, Greenfield, IA 50849.
For more information on the series, contact Sellers by phone at 641-203-1270 or by email at email@example.com, or Sprague by phone at 641-782-4218 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Livestock farms in the U.S. use an estimated 24.6 million pounds of antimicrobials for nontherapeutic purposes every year. A study in mBio this week reveals new evidence that adding antibiotics to pig feed stimulates gene exchange in the guts of these animals, a development that could move antibiotic resistance genes where they're not wanted. http://goo.gl/huZDR

Hemoglobin A1c; HbA1c; glycosylated hemoglobin; glycohemoglobin; Glycated hemoglobin
A1C is a blood test used to screen people to find out whether they have diabetes or prediabetes. It's also used in people who know they have diabetes to measure how well they are controlling their blood sugar and to guide their treatment decisions over time.
You may need this test to check for prediabetes or diabetes. If you already know that you have diabetes or prediabetes, you may need this test to see how well you are controlling your blood sugar.
People with diabetes must track their blood sugar (glucose) levels every day to make sure they aren't too high or too low. The A1C test gives results for a longer period of time. It shows whether your blood sugar has been too high on average in the previous two to three months. When blood sugar is high, more glucose builds up and sticks to your hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. The A1C test measures the percentage of hemoglobin that is coated with blood sugar.
Depending on the type of diabetes you have, how well it's controlled, and your healthcare provider's preferences, you may need to have the A1C test two or more times a year. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that you have an A1C test at least twice a year if you are meeting your blood sugar goals and your blood sugar is well-controlled. If you aren't meeting your goals or your medication has changed lately, you should have the A1C test more often. You also may have the test when your healthcare provider first starts working with you to treat your diabetes.
If your healthcare provider is testing you for diabetes, you may also take a fasting plasma glucose test, or FPG, or an oral glucose tolerance test, or OGTT, as part of your screening and diagnosis. You may also be tested for sugar, ketones or protein in the urine.
Laboratory test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, the method used for the test, and many other factors. If your results are different from the results suggested below, this may not mean that you have a problem. Ask your healthcare provider to explain what the results mean for you.
A1C is reported as a percentage:
Normal A1C is considered to be below 5.7%. Results between 5.7% and 6.4% may mean you have prediabetes. This means you have a higher risk of developing diabetes.
Results of 6.5% or higher on two separate occasions may mean that you have diabetes.
The ADA recommends that people with diabetes should maintain an A1C below 7%. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists recommends an A1C of 6.5% or less. Recommendations may vary based on the person's age, medical conditions, or other factors.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, and a sense of lightheadedness. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Your blood sugar levels usually vary throughout the day. These variations won't affect the A1C.
If you have sickle cell anemia or other blood disorders, a standard A1C test may be less useful for diagnosing or monitoring diabetes. (Your healthcare provider may be able to find another diabetes test that will better serve you.) In addition, the test results may be skewed if you have anemia, heavy bleeding, an iron deficiency, kidney failure, or liver disease.
You don't need any special preparation for the test.

Friends and acquaintances who know I work at the library and read a lot, often ask me: "what are you reading?"
I usually have a "main" book and several "pick-up" books that I am reading. I'm currently reading The Girl Who Played with Fire, a sequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. These are not the type of books I usually read, but they've been so highly recommended by reviewers and reading friends that I picked them up and have barely put them down: what page turners. They should be read in sequence to continue the story. This second one exposes the extensive sex trafficking operations between Eastern Europe and Sweden. Its story and character driven.
My secondary books are usually ones that are not page turners, can be picked up and read a chapter or story at a time, and might take me months to finish. I bought Booknotes: America's Finest Authors on Reading, Writing, and the Power of Ideas at the Friends Bookstore for $1. It's two pages of interviews with authors from the TV show of the same name and is interesting, quick reading. I have more books for my list-of-books-to-read-sometime from these interviews.
The Living Great Lakes: Searching for the Heart of the Inland Seas is an engrossing description of the Great Lakes from a schooner, racing yacht, and a voyageur canoe with some history, ecology, and family memories along the way. Its easily picked up and put down, but interesting reading to those of us familiar with the area.
All of these books are in our collection. I recommend them all! Now its your turn – what are you reading?

It's quite common that when scientists publish results that some people don't like (or are later deluded by others into not liking them), they have this strange notion that they can tell why the science is wrong, without even understanding the science in question nor having any kind of experience or background on it. This is really common with all kinds of denialists and conspiracy theorists. Take this guy, for example:
This guy has probably zero knowledge and experience on climatology, or even physics. He studied history and law in college, and later became a politician. He probably has read no actual papers published on the subject of climate change, has no idea how the climate change and its effects are measured, nor how the process of peer reviewing and publication of the results is performed, yet he seems quite confident that he can tell others why the science of climatology is wrong.
It really is true that confidence on one's statements is inversely proportional to how much of an expert on the subject one is.
What I wonder is why people are so eager to believe a few dissenters rather than the scientific community. Why is there such a huge mistrust and hostility towards science? The few dissenters always get people to listen to them, for no obvious good reason, other than that they are dissenting with the "official" explanations. It seems that's enough to get people's attention and agreement. (Of course it helps if the dissenter is charismatic and good at spouting BS convincingly.)

Throughout New England, barns attached to houses are fairly common. Why were the buildings connected? What did farmers or families gain by doing this? The phenomenon was captured in the words of a children's song, "Big house, little house, back house, barn," (Thomas C.

I've been on Twitter for a while now. My @nixit (which has evolved into my professional account) handle is nearly five years old whereas my everyday @nicki_nz account is quite a bit younger.
I'm a middle of the road Twitter user (please don't call me a Tweep, Twit or other cutesie-pie name). I post pictures of food and coffee and the places I go. I make observations about things in the media or in my fields of interest or I share links about the stuff I read. I retweet comments and links that are interesting or make me think. I talk to a few people, ask a few questions, respond to a few others. Somedays I am prolific; at other times I'm quiet. I read a lot more than I write.
I love Twitter because it's about choice. I can dip in and out, engage or disengage. If I find someone who is really interesting or who posts stuff that makes me think, I can follow that person. If I find that someone that I already follow doesn't interest me or posts too much rubbish then I can un-follow them. During an event I can follow a hashtag (#eqnz for the Christchurch earthquakes) or a specific user (eg, @acarvin who has been described as the man who tweets revolutions).
Some people mourn the days when it was just them and their friends on Twitter. This makes me laugh. You can choose who is on Twitter by carefully choosing who you follow. If that's not enough then restrict who follows you – which I tend to think misses the point. It's no different to blogs. If you engage only with people on the same wavelength then you will never be challenged to think in different or new ways.
I don't like excessive retweeting. Some people go a bit crazy on the retweet button and copy everything a person says. This annoys me. If I find a retweet interesting I can go and look at the original stream and follow that person if I want to. I also don't see the point of Kiwis retweeting archane news items from overseas. A lot of BREAKING NEWS isn't breaking for everyone. And just because it says PLEASE RT a lost or found dog / cat / child … you don't have to – especially if most of the people you interact with are on a different continent to the mislaid creature.
Sometimes I've discovered that my Twitter stream gets a bit unbalanced. I find that there are too many self-promoting journalists, politicians or celebrities pointlessly jabbering away at each other. Or like right now, I'm finding too much negativity in my stream. It's easy to fix with a few judicious clicks of the delete button. After all if I wouldn't enjoy it in real life, I don't need to see it on my screen.
So, in order to finish on a positive note what do I like? New ideas, links and angles. Photos, music and videos that I'd never find on my own. The serendipity of making and meeting new friends (on and offline). And fun – good fun like the stuff in this collection of Kiwi gems. That's what I love about Twitter.

"This was a great invitation for my daughter's Under the Sea/Bubble Guppies birthday party. I received many compliments from our guests. I would definitely recommend upgrading and getting the gold envelopes. They added a little glamour to the invitations."
"I love the round edges and the design with shadows. The leaves on the personal picture was a beautiful touch. We were having a fairy performer for my daughter's birthday and this card was perfect for it! I love that the card emphasized my daughter's picture since the design was simply elegant."
"Went with this for a tea party with queen elsa 5th bday. Wanted something subtle with snowflakes, pretty, etc. The quality of this card is fantastic. I did add the shimmer so the metallic elements popped. No regrets. Worth every penny."
"Love this invitation! I was looking for a princess themed product for my daughter's third birthday party. Beautiful thick paper. I liked that this one had a good bit of room for my text. I bought the extra scalloped edges and love how it turned out. I have received several complements. Quick shipping."

Detroit trades: Rasheed Wallace Will Blalock Ronald Dupree Dallas trades: Desagana Diop Anthony Johnson Jerry Stackhouse Detroit signs Chris Webber Reasons for Detroit... they get out of Sheeds long term contract and gain 8M for next years options. Webber is not a big drop off from Rasheed (todays version)... the future opens up for Amir Johnson and Maxiell. The Pistons gain a big shot blocker in Diop for future matchups with Miami (Diop is one of the few players that slows down Shaq). Anthony Johnson is a solid defensive PG/SG Stack gives us a real scoring option off the bench... and has a 9.3 expiring deal. Reasons for Dallas: Not a team to be concerned about lux tax implications they gain a much needed scoring PF/C that can stretch the defense for their wing players (Sheed). They free more up PT for Harris and Howard Second Deal Detroit trades: Nazr Mohammed Flip Murray Minny 2nd round pick Seattle trades: Earl Watson Johan Petro (salary filler) Reasons for Seattle... Murray should opt out of his deal next year, giving the Sonics just enough room off the hard cap to stay out of the lux tax next year. They are desperate for a veteran Center that can score. The Minny pick may be close to a first round pick when they receive it. Reasons for Detroit... The Piston gain a true backup PG that can distribute, score and defend. They get out of the long term Nazr mistake. They become a better interior defensive team. PG security in case Chauncey decides to walk next year. Better cap flexibilty for next year and beyond Pistons become: C- Dale Davis, Desagana Diop, Johan Petro PF- Chris Webber, Antonio McDyess, Jason Maxiell SF- Tayshaun Prince, Carlos Delfino, Jerry Stackhouse SG- Richard Hamilton, Jerry Stackhouse, Anthony Johnson PG- Chauncey Billups, Earl Watson, Anthony Johnson A team that can defend and score. Watson and Delfino become an excellent playmaking combo for the scorers.

At first we stuck with one protein and then added a different one the next week. We closely monitored the scratching too see if the specific added protein would increase the itching. There seemed to be no change.
We tried, turkey, chicken, and beef.
As far as switching to a complete raw diet; we're working on it. I need to make sure we have access to the proper meats/organs before we completely switch over.

I am not sure if you're even directing this comment at me because of all the side bade conversations that occurred on this thread. However, if you are, we bathe Watson about once a quarter unless she really needs it (out in the mud during a walk or after a hike). I mostly do this to scan for ticks as the wet fur makes it substantially easier and she seems to be a beacon for those things.
Anyways, we have found some moisturizing/conditioners and were wondering if anyone has had any relief using those? As I said in earlier posts, this is an ongoing thing but reducing her itchiness in the meantime, is still something I want to experiment with.
To everyone else,
No real update. The spring/summer here in Virginia hasn't changed anything. Windows open or closed. AC on or off. The itching/scratching still occurs.
Something interesting though. We went on a long hike a couple weeks ago and not once did she stop and scratch. For the most part, when we are outside, there is no scratching. Could this be because her mind is so distracted or could it be that there IS something environmentally effecting her? Any advice?
Thanks again and have a great extended weekend,
|Traveler's Mom
Hi Yeney- welcome to the board.
Your advice is generally correct but in the case of staph infections, it is recommended to wash the dogs very frequently-ususally once a week or more. The reasoning is that the medicated baths will decrease the amount of bacteria on their skin.

|Traveler's Mom
Hi Oliver's Mom,
This is good to know. I didn't know/didn't think there would be tests to tell what kind of staph. I thought staph was staph I'll ask tomorrow when we are at the vets. It's a great idea. Traveler has had his fair share of ear infections over the years- I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know enough to put 2 and 2 together.
The Apoquel is amazing stuff but I'm out and the doggie derm can't get any until August per the manufacturer. I am hesitant about the product because it is so new so I'd be happy to find a more permanent solution.
I want to try the Usnea mentioned but until I get a firm reading from his regular vet, I'm holding off. I don't want to do anything that will skew the tests.
I'll report back what I find out.
Traveler's mom- I think part of the reason Ollie's staff infections came back so frequently is that for a while he was on various immune system suppressing drugs in an attempt to find something to control the allergies. This made it so much easier for the staff to start a big infection when it got inside a scratch and to top if off the drug we were using to fight the bug was one it has resistant to.
I'm no bio-chemist, but apoquel attacks allergies in a different way by binding to various receptors to stop allergic reaction. So we haven't had the topical staff skin infections from scratching since starting apoquel. In addition, the scratching has decreased dramatically so the staff hasn't had a chance to become a problem.
If Traveler has reoccurring staff infections, you may want to think about paying for the extra lab tests that will tell you exactly which kind of staff your dog has and then you know exactly which antibiotic to take to treat it. I suppose we all have staff bacteria, some of us just come with a bigger, badder batch.
|Traveler's Mom
Wow, that's interesting. As I understand it, staph is typically tough to get rid of. As Heidigsd mentioned, environmental allergies are possible. I took Traveler to a doggie derm and he wanted tons of money for the testing. She likely right in that in the long run it could save money but Traveler's symptoms don't seem to point to environmental issues. Maybe someday I'll go down that road but I'm not comfortable doing it now.
We'll see what his regular vet says tomorrow.
|At first he rec'd simplicef for the staff infections, but them seemed to reoccur every few weeks (this was prior to starting Apoquel when we were trying different foods and other anti-histamines). However after his last ear infection, we did a special lab test of his ear gunk and discovered that we are doubly lucky and Ollie has an antibiotic resistant strain of staff that is in his natural bacterial mix so we were prescribed something different to address his special staff bugs. I can't remember the name of the drug off hand, but can check later at home if you think it might help you. I do remember they were very big pills and were a pain to get him to swallow.
I only have one thing to add. I am dealing with my second GSD with environmental allergies and I can honestly say that I would make an appointment with a dermatologist. It costs a little more at first but will actually save you money in the long term.
Good luck
|Traveler's Mom
Oliver's Mom,
What did the vet prescribe for the staph infections? Traveler's came back so we are meeting the vet again tomorrow. He is 90 lbs and was on Cefpodoxime 300 mg daily.

Great ritain's environmnet minister, Phil Woods sharply attacked the behavior of India regarding dealing with climate change while pointing out China has taken vigorous steps to confront issues of global warmng. "The Chinese government is part of the solution, not the problem" he said because it understands the problem and is willing to work toward solving it. On the other hand, Woods noted, the government of India continually insists global warming is a creature of Western industrial societies and therefore its solution lies in the hands of its creator. Woods indicated Great Britain is working with the Chinese government to develop an eco-friendly city near Shanghai that would feature a low-carbon fossil fuel power station.
It is understandable why nations like India which only until recently have entered the world's economic boom are upset that western nations showed total disregard for global warming and now want newly developed nations to bear the burden of its development. Morally, the government of India has a point, but we are all on this plaent together and must confront its issues regardless of who was responsible for creation of problems.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- After being selected by the Detroit Tigers on Saturday in the MLB Draft, Tennessee infielder Will Maddox has signed with the club. Maddox played in 160 games as a Vol over three seasons, hitting .309.
"The time at Tennessee has been the greatest time of my life," said Maddox. "Coach Serrano, his staff and my teammates have meant more to me than I could ever put into words.
"My dream is to play professional baseball and I have been granted that opportunity. I am going to do whatever it takes to make my dream come true and feel that it is in my best interest to begin my journey. This is the hardest decision I have ever made in my life because of the great love I have for this university. I want to thank all of our fans and everyone that has ever supported me along the way. I am a VFL and that will never change."
Head coach Dave Serrano wished Maddox the best of luck and thanked him for three passionate years as a Vol.
"As hard as it is to see Will move on to the Tigers I know it's what he has wanted to do for a long time," said Serrano. "We will miss the passion and energy he brought each and every day to the field."
Maddox was selected in the 18th round of the draft with the 550th overall selection as a third baseman.
Maddox was a mainstay in the Vols' lineup for the last three years, starting 157 of 160 games at a variety of positions. In his three campaigns, he hit a combined .309 with a .399 on-base percentage. He had 190 career hits and scored 113 runs. Maddox hit five homers and drove in 60 runs. He had stolen 60 bases on 77 attempts.
As a junior in 2014, Maddox hit .297 with three home runs and 21 RBIs with 24 stolen bases. He was named SEC Player of the Week after hitting .625 (5-for-8) and slugging 1.250 over a series sweep of Quinnipiac (Feb. 28-March 2, 2014).
Never moving out of the top three spots in the order, Maddox hit .333 in 2013. He had a team high in at-bats (207), hits (69), runs scored (42), hit by pitch (12), stolen bases (22) and stolen base attempts (27). He also led UT with 23 multi-hit games, including a team-high seven three-hit efforts.
In 2012, Maddox earned 2012 SEC All-Freshman Team honors after becoming just the third freshman since 1980 to lead Tennessee in batting average (Chris Burke 1999, Kentrail Davis 2008). He hit .297 for the year with team highs in hits (63), runs scored (32), total bases (79), stolen bases (14), at-bats (212) and on-base percentage (.374).
It is unknown which affiliate in the Tigers' system Maddox will begin his pro career with. They have Single-A teams in the Gulf Coast League (GCL Tigers), the New York Penn League (Connecticut Tigers), Midwest League (West Michigan Whitecaps) and Florida State League (Lakeland Flying Tigers).

Arsenal.com's Andy Verspeak was a regular at Arsenal Reserves' games last season. He reflects on a memorable, if unusual, fixture which took place at the Club's training ground on March 19...
Due to a fixture re-arrangement the Reserves faced Portsmouth on a sunny Saturday afternoon in a behind-closed-doors match, a far cry from their usual home at Underhill.
While Portsmouth were struggling at the wrong end of the table Neil Banfield's side had enjoyed a 3-2 win over Chelsea the week before and were looking strong contenders to challenge league leaders Charlton.
More importantly though, Gilberto had just made his return to action. He came through 90 minutes against Chelsea and was set to start against Portsmouth.
The pristine surface was always going to favour Arsenal but there was a somewhat surreal atmosphere, given that the only spectators were family members standing on the side of the pitch.
Gilberto was not the only player making a comeback. Patrick Cregg, Olafur-Ingi Skulason, Johan Djourou and Frankie Simek all returned from injury and Danny Karbassiyoon returned after a loan spell with Ipswich.
Portsmouth took an undeserved lead after 13 minutes but Arsenal responded in style. Gilberto, pulling the strings in midfield, was in a different class.
Sebastian Larsson and Arturo Lupoli combined to send through Anthony Stokes and Lupoli went close himself before Stokes had a header cleared from the line.
A goal was coming and it finally arrived from the penalty spot. A defence-splitting pass from Larsson sent Stokes through and the keeper brought him down. Stokes got up to convert from 12 yards.
Then Arsenal turned on the style, scoring twice more and hitting the woodwork before the interval. Lupoli put them ahead, cutting through the Portsmouth defence before slotting the ball past the keeper.
He then turned provider, playing Karbassyioon in down the left wing. He promptly beat everyone for pace before cutting inside and drilling a shot into the far corner.
There could have been more before half-time. Stokes showed sublime skill to flick the ball up over his head, spin past his marker and send a thunderous volley crashing against the bar.
Arsenal did make it 4-1 in the second half, Lupoli scoring from the spot after a deliberate handball saw the South Coast side reduced to 10 men.
After that it was a game of keep-ball for the Gunners, but in truth they could have handed out a thrashing to an outclassed Pompey. The only disappointment was that no spectators were allowed in to witness such a spectacle.
