Butt stuff is in. Everyone is skipping the front door and going around back. Butt play is the new blow job. If anal isn't on your sex bucket-list, you've probably already knocked and have been invited inside (you lucky dog, you). Once reserved for birthday sex, it's barely taboo now. According to Goop's annual sex issue, a fair amount of (heterosexual) couples around the world are experimenting with anal sex, all thanks to pornography. "Porn had totally blurred the distinction between a woman's anus and vagina. This wasn't because women were begging their lovers for anal, it's because porn producers were afraid you'd click on someone else's porn if they weren't upping the ante in terms of shock value," Goop writes. But if you've learned about anal sex through porn, Gwyneth Paltrow's weekly lifestyle publication hands you a few anti climaxes.
So, when is it okay to butt in? And, most importantly, how to get invited inside? Goop breaks it down for you.
Gwyneth Paltrow's guide to the back door
Consent and communication
Goop points out that Porn doesn't delve on the aspect of trust, communication or feedback. Which is kinda the bedrock of any healthy relationship. Unsurprisingly, Goop advises that couples who don't have good sexual communication and don't receive and give feedback about what they like and don't should stray away from anal sex altogether. One of the golden rules to figure out if you're allowed to use the back door is (you guessed it) to talk to your partner. You can't have great (anal) sex without communication. The more extreme your fantasies, the more you discuss them.
Forget the absurd myths and unrealistic ideas porn teaches you about butt play
Porn tends to instill strange myths and completely unrealistic ideas about sex in general and anal sex in particular. Thanks to our biology, we need to make several… erm… adjustments to make anal feel good. The two sets of the sphincter muscles are placed such that they don't necessarily make it easy for the penis to 'get past their gates'. So if you want to really enjoy anal sex, Goop writes, you need to first train your sphincter muscles to relax enough for you partner's member to, well, get past them. Like with all good things, this takes a great deal of practice and you need to get quite good at foreplay (ever considered an erotic massage?). Be prepared to invest time and energy in it, says Goop.
Lube it up!
Now, quite unlike the vagina, our anus has no lubrication. So just training your sphincters to relax won't be enough, writes Goop. Besides learning to get the angle right, you will also have to learn to use lots of lube. Use lubricant even if porn tells you it's okay to just jam your junk in. And stop if it hurts — always.

Simply. Loved. The. Movie.
Fantastic animation, brought to life on an IMAX 3D screen. (Have you also felt like you're gonna fall while in the Dome? I always do. Sigh.)
Here's what I saw:
Every teeny, tiny detail - laugh lines around Tintin's/ Haddock's eyes. (Hmm. Girly, to notice.) Tintin's tuft of hair waving gently in the breeze. The Unicorn's scale model with some glorious detail. Waves in the sea. Bubbles. Bianca Castafiore's jewels. Snowy's velvety little nose and beady eyes.
And oh, the movie, too.

Survey Options
Survey Option 1-Survey & Quotation Only
This survey option is for homeowners, builders, landlords, management / letting agents, building contractors & property developers etc who have identified a particular problem with dampness, woodworm or timber decay. This is a quotation only survey – a full report is not issued.
This survey option is NOT available for buyers, sellers or for re-mortgage / equity release purposes.
One of our CSRT qualified remedial damp and timber surveyors will asses the damp issue or timber infestation/timber decay providing the correct diagnosis to the cause. You will be given appropriate recommendations to rectify the timber and/or damp problem along with a quotation should one be found necessary. On completion of any damp-proofing or timber treatment work we can provide a long term guarantee which is backed by the GPI (Guarantee Protection Insurance).
We do not undertake surveys to "find" work. In a lot of cases, by carrying out simple measures such as lowering the high external ground levels, replacing broken rainwater goods or installing air vents to a property (all of which could be undertaken by the client) the dampness has been resolved. In many cases the timber decay, which was thought to be dry rot by the client, has been diagnoses as wet rot, resulting in the client saving many hundreds of pounds by avoiding unnecessary costly chemical timber & damp course treatments.
Survey Option 2-Specialist Timber & Damp Survey & Report
for Pre-purchase, Re-mortgage / Equity Release To Satisfy Mortgage Lenders & For Vendors who are selling their property
This survey option is for clients who are buying, selling, part exchanging, or re-mortgaging a property in the North Wales & Chester regions. The Bank or Building Society's surveyor will undertake a home buyers survey, which often highlights a dampness or timber defect problem and recommends, as a condition of the mortgage offer, a specialist damp and timber survey to be carried out before exchange of contracts by a PCA (Property Care Association) or BWPDA approved member – both of which Damp Aid North Wales are members. They regularly request in the report that sub-floor timbers in contact with damp masonry be inspected for signs of timber decay, however if fitted floor coverings are present we are, more often than not, unable to inspect these timbers.
Our specialist mortgage damp and timber surveys (carried out by qualified CSRT damp-proofing & timber treatment surveyors) will provide you with a full written report which will contain the correct diagnosis of any issues regarding timber decay or damp ingress along with appropriate recommendations and specifications for the correct remedial measures to rectify the problem.
If any damp-proofing or timber treatment work be found necessary, a quotation can also be included, if required. Should the client instruct Damp Aid to carry out the work in the quotation, the survey fee is deducted from the price. On completion of any specialist damp-proofing or timber treatment work a long term insured guarantee will be issued, backed by the Guarantee Protection Insurance, which are the only real 'insured' guarantees available and are accepted by Banks, Building Societies, and Equity release mortgage companies such as Aviva, Santander, Barclays, Halifax, & The principality.
Survey Option 3-Damp and/or Timber – Comparison Quotation/Online Quotation.
Particularly beneficial for First Time Buyers and others on a tight budget looking for a more competitive quote.
If you have already had a quotation for damp proofing, woodworm treatment or dry rot control and you feel the price is too high, don't worry, we can normally beat any bona fide written quotation by up to 20%.
If you would like to take advantage of this survey option, simply email your quotation to us at info@dampaidnorthwales and one of our specialist damp and timber surveyors will telephone you to discuss the work/price. Alternatively you can telephone our senior surveyor direct on 07860 222 743, to discuss your quote.
In many cases, re-plastering is not always necessary, or the client may have their own builder who can carry this work out, along with any other remedial building work i.e. external ground lowering or improving the sub-floor ventilation. In these circumstances our quotation can save you thousands of pounds and still supply long-term insured and meaningful damp and timber guarantees to satisfy your Bank and Building Society.
Trouble Shooter 2 Survey
(No paper work issued)
This option has proved to be invaluable to many of our clients and has saved them thousands of pounds.
Our fully qualified C.S.R.T. specialist damp surveyors (who are NOT salesmen) will go through the survey with you, correctly diagnose, advise and guide you through the problem and explain the course of action to correctly remedy the damp or timber decay issue.
You may not be buying or selling a property and therefore do not require a full mortgage specialist damp or timber survey and report. We can therefore still carry out a comprehensive inspection to give you peace of mind and help with alleviating any dampness, condensation, dry rot, timber decay or woodworm issues. We keep the Trouble Shooter Survey verbal, with no written paperwork, therefore keeping a timber and rising damp survey cost to a minimum.
Our Trouble Shooter 2 survey special is most beneficial for:
• Clients who have identified one small isolated area of dampness they are unsure about and need to obtain independent advice from a damp-proof surveyor.
• Clients who have had conflicting reports from different specialist damp-proofing and timber treatment companies.
• Clients who maybe think they are just being SOLD A PRODUCT which they do not need and not addressing the root cause of the problem.
• For those who simply don't know what to believe or who to turn to and require independent advice from one of our specialist damp proofing and timber decay surveyors.
• For those clients who have had a problem "treated" two or three times only to find it has returned, as the problem was misdiagnosed in the first instance.
If you think this Trouble Shooter 2 survey is what you require, or you would like impartial advice about any dampness or timber decay issues, then contact our senior specialist damp-proofing and timber treatment surveyor direct on 07860 222 743 to discuss your requirements.
If you need independent advice about which timber or damp specialist survey to have then please call (Wales) 01492 535305, (Chester) 01244 490341, (Wirral) 0151 959 0086 to discuss which best suits your requirements.
Alternatively fill in our enquiry form and mention either option 1, 2 or 3.

What the bible says about dating and marriage physician dating match websites
15-Dec-2017 07:29
What about a romantic relationship without moving toward marriage?
Isn't there another kind of relationship described in Scripture where a man and woman can share romantic intimacy with some physical intimacy without moving toward marriage? This kind of relationship does not exist in the Scriptures.
How men and women view a "date" and "dating" can have a profound effect on their future.
It can involve affection as we work together in Christ, but affection is not a necessary element.
We are commanded in the Scriptures to show love to all believers, but we are not commanded to make all believers our friends.
Gen. says, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." This verse tells us that marriage involves the husband and wife severing ties of intimate relationships with parents to cleave to each other.
It involves coming together into a permanent bond of unity.A third relationship God describes in the Bible is marriage.

After a while someone called him over about half a block down. Another man came up and began yelling at him. The agressor was the sort of man that cannot seem to put three words together without on of them being a vulgarity. The argument escalated, and the agressor swung on the "phone salesman." His fist connect with the other man's left jaw. To be truthful, I could not make out what they fought about (as their words came out slurred, rapid, and dirty). The only phrase I could really make out was the phone salesman yelling, "I didn't sell it." I can only assume they disagreed on the quality of a particular pre-paid phone.
Yeah, right. Did I mention I live in the ghetto?

Writing is hard. Editing is even harder, mostly because we don't want to do it. Here are some tips to help you efficiently use your time and reach that final draft.
- Not editing. Of course this one has to be on here. If you feel like your first draft is prime for the world's eyes then that means a) you're not looking hard enough or b) you're not giving that draft all you have and it's not at its full potential.
- Only using self-editing. Hey, I'm guilty of this one too sometimes. It's scary to share the beginning stages of your work with someone. Not because we don't know how to edit things ourselves but sometimes we are just so intertwined with our work that we need new eyes on it. Be it a friend, partner, or even a paid editor – just anyone but you. They'll find holes in your plot and will get questions or comments that you would have never seen before.
- Only doing a couple of drafts. This mistake is similar to the previous mistake – sometimes you'll catch an error in your work that you didn't realize you made earlier or find new areas you could tighten up. Plus, it makes sharing it with others for critique a little easier.
- You don't want to change your piece. We shouldn't censor ourselves during our first drafts in order to give us as much as possible to work with. However, not everyone sees our imagined worlds in the same way. That "kill your darlings" line? It's true. Often, our favorite pieces are outliers to the piece and stand out for a reason. Try to read your work through your reader's eyes.
- Editing too quickly. Blog posts excluded. Beginning editing immediately after finishing your first draft is like telling someone I love you on the second date. The more time that passes between finishing the draft and editing it, the more objective your mind becomes. You'll be stuck in the writer's mindset rather than the reader's. I'm not suggesting year-long breaks between pieces but maybe a trip to the cafe or enough of a break to pat yourself on the back for finishing a draft.

By Jane Voigt
October 26, 2013 -- Li Na stood strong, mentally and physically, in her victory over Petra Kvitova. She was rewarded with her first-ever berth in a WTA Year-ending Championships plus a year-ending career-high ranking at No. 3. She is a perfect 4-0 for the week.
Serena Williams, in contrast, took everyone on an emotional roller coaster ride throughout her victory over Jelena Jankovic. The American No. 1 seed ends her week at 4-0, just like Li Na, and will come to rest at No. 1 for the year.
The two will face off tomorrow in the final. One will earn $2.2 million, the pot of gold at the end of the season's WTA rainbow. They are the oldest players in the draw.
If only the Serena match had been easier to witness, all would be well in tennis land. But her dour facial expressions, no matter if she was ahead or behind, were troublesome and childish. Her grimace left fans flat, wondering about an injury, and at one point whistling in frustration at Williams.
In her one-court interview, though, she told the packed Sinan Erdem arena, "I think my body's a bit tired. I hit a wall yesterday. Honestly, I can't believe I'm still in tournament." A bad attitude day.
Lindsay Davenport and Brett Haber, calling the match for Tennis Channel, speculated that Serena's back could be sore -- the week's competition is tough on everyone -- and it was injured earlier in the season. Twitter was alive with speculation, too. Maybe a family issue had unnerved Serena.
Immediately after the match, Doug Robson of USA Today posted a comment from Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena's coach and boyfriend. "Mouratoglou says Serena Williams had no injury when she tool court and doesn't know shy she looked hobbled and out of it at times."
Bottom line, Serena was in a mood and struggled. And, as champions do, she won. It was her hardest match of the week.
"No, physically, I think I was fine," she said in her press conference. "Or, I don't know. I was so tired. I was so tired just even standing. I really had to pull myself through that match."
At one point, the average speed of her serve was below that of Jankovic. Williams movement side-to-side was nonexistent. However, she continued to control the match as much as possible from the center of the baseline -- a demonstration of a dollop of conviction and skill, no matter her cranky and arrogant attitude.
"No, there was no emotional," she told a reporter that questioned her state of mind. "I was just physically really tired. My legs wouldn't move. My arm wouldn't go fast."
Her 64 26 64 win over Jankovic was Williams' first three-set match since 2007, when her big sister, Venus Williams, grabbed some glory. However,this semifinal match left Serena 20-2 against top ten players for the year, the two loses coming from Victoria Azarenka.
Li Na was all smiles, an endearing posture from the Chinese heroine. In her third appearance at the WTA Year-ending Championships she had advanced to her first final, defeating Petra Kvitova 64 62. "Top three was goal for the year," she told Catrina Adams on court. "So [I am] happy I could catch that."
She becomes the highest ranked player ever from Asia.
Carlos Rodriguez, her coach, saluted Li's win by raising three fingers high in the air from the player's box. Another goal from Rodriguez is for Li to "unlock yourself and play freely with enthusiasm," a reported said. However, her early training in China contradicts this Western behavior where everything was predicated on hard-nosed work ethic. No congratulations with a victory, just a shove to get more victories.
"I was really happy today at the start of the match," Li said to the WTA. "This tournament, for me, like exciting, nervous, relax, and focus. You know, have to be in the same time."
Serena Williams leads 9-1 in their head-to-head competition. But if attitude plays a part in their final tomorrow, Li will walk away with the Billie Jean King trophy.

Progress of work in 2013 and main results achieved so far:
Monitoring and quality control
Biocompatibility of CeraSorb®M scaffolds modified by hydrophilic diamond powder, was determined according to DIN ISO 10993-5 as reported earlier. In addition, in vitro and in experiments were performed of this modified material and additionally the biocompatibility of two aliphatic polyester co-polymer scaffolds developed by the consortium was evaluated: Poly(L-lactide-co-e-caprolactone) and Poly(L-lactide-co-1,5-dioxepan-2-one). The surfaces of these polymer scaffolds have also been modified by nano diamond particles (nDP) and found to biocompatible. Furthermore, modifying scaffolds surfaces by nDP shown to promote cellular proliferation, differentiation and bone formation in a sheep model (Xing et al. 2013).
To develop obtain quantitative information about structural parameters for each scaffold, high resolution magnetic resolution imaging (MRI) is shown to be a valuable tool. The reproducibility of the manufacturing process of the scaffolds regarding pore size and wall thickness distributions can be verified using MRI which can be one step in the quality control for the future use as medical products. Various MRI contrast agents have also been developed by the consortium such as fluorine-containing moieties. The advantage of using fluorine-containing moieties as contrast agents is that fluorine induces a hyperintense MRI signal and can, thus, be detected unambiguously in the dark background of the scaffolds. Also, due to the fact that fluorine is essentially absent in the human body, the acquired 19F signal is background-free allowing an excellent degree of specificity. Thus, cell-specific 19F-based contrast agents were developed and demonstrated that the fluorine-based contrast agents offer an alternative for the proof of seeding efficiency by in vivo imaging methods. The emulsions were formulated for in vitro and in vivo use; i.e. the agents were made available as sterile solutions with a concentration that requires only a low injection volume.
Angiography contrast agents for in vivo MRI blood flow detection were also developed by the consortium. The novel agents included a Gd-based polymer (positive contrast) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles (negative contrast) for 1H MRI, as well as 19F-based nanoemulsions for 19F MRI. These novel agents were tested in vivo in healthy rats in comparison to the standard, marketed, clinical contrast agent, Magnevist (Gd-DTPA). The results showed that from all tested agents, the optimized iron oxide-based contrast agent (FeraSpin XS-Type) induced the most significant signal changes in the bone marrow within the rat femur. Thus, this agent can be used to characterize the existence of active blood flow and, thus, angiogenesis in healing bone and remodeled biomaterials. These experiments served as a proof-of-principle to show that the SPIO contrast agent highly improves the in vivo detection of blood vessels/blood flow in bones, allowing investigation of the microvessel formation within the implant and, thus, an evaluation of the angiogenesis efficacy and implant viability. Furthermore, a substantial effort was placed during 2013 to optimize the dose of the SPIO contrast agent that can be used for evaluation of the angiogenesis efficacy in large animals as sheep. Accordingly, a preliminary and a rational dose was selected and currently tested in ongoing sheep study.
Furthermore, a novel, sensitive and non-invasive method was established for screening the tumorigenic potential of functionalized/bioactive scaffolds intended for bone regeneration. Using high potency bioluminescence (BLI) in vivo imaging of cells/scaffold construct is carried out in parallel with classical morphometric analysis. The model has been applied on testing nano diamond modified polymer scaffolds with or without BMP-2. The preliminary results of BLI showed that when the scaffolds modified with nano diamond particles the total photon intensity was reduced indicating that the tumor cells stopped proliferating. The opposite was seen when BMP-2 was added, the intensity continued to rise until the 14 weeks of imaging. It was also concluded that soluble nano diamonds do not influence tumor cell growth to a high extent although a slight increase of proliferation was observed in breast cancer cells. These results have to be considered if scaffolds coated with nano diamonds are applied in patients with bone metastases.
Design/fabrication of scaffolds
The progress can be divided in two main topics:
- Development and optimization of biomaterial and scaffolds
- Analysis, characterization and development of new methods for evaluation of the biomaterial
The application of the specially tailored biomaterial for in vitro and in vivo tests and their results can be found in the reports of the corresponding WPs (2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). The biomaterials for VascuBone are based on polymers and ß-TCP modified with nano diamond particles. The two different types of porous polymer-based materials are developed at KTH and PP. As ceramic based scaffold CeraSorb®M of Curasan has been purchased. Modification was achieved by the developed nano diamond particle diffusion technique at DIA (described and validated during the first two years of VascuBone). The material was produced in line with the defined protocols in high reproducibility and large batches. Sterile nano diamond particles have been prepared according protocols at UWü (Chem) Characterization of the novel implant material (DiaSorb) for pre-clinical studies have been realized within the consortium (UiB, FhG/IGB, IWA/UIBK) and at external accredited and authorized laboratories. New methods have been established and can be applied as standard with respect to the preparation, data evaluation and approval for the planned clinical trials. Biofunctionalization with growth factors, release measurements, evaluation and optimization for active, stable immobilization have been performed successfully at UiB and IAW. This work was strongly supported by theoretical calculations and modeling at UU and the design and development of experimental procedures.
Expected results:The results expected and aimed in WP 3 are clearly defined by realization of the objectives in close collaboration and interaction of the VascuBone partners and support from accredited organizations. New methods for standardization and approval of nano-materials based on nano diamond particles and porous ß-TCP and polymer scaffolds, optimized material properties like hydrophilicity, increase of active area, biocompatibility and mechanical improvement, stable biofunctionalization and theoretical estimations to support design of experiments are demanded. Novel techniques for determination the genotoxicity, biocompatibility of nDP/scaffolds (DiaSorb) should be established. Verification of the protocols for production of sterile biomaterial in large batches achieved during the first two years of VascuBone is an additional estimated outcome.
Clearly significant results:All expected results have been achieved successfully in year 2013 and presented in the following task-descriptions in detail. Summing up the following significant results have been achieved and have been/will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals:
1. Quantification of nDPs and release of nDPs in/from DiaSorb
- Release and leaching analysis techniques developed, no release observed
- Structural analysis of DiaSorb BET surface analysis, increase of surface area up to 100 fold, pore size not influenced
- Method development for label free detection and quantification of nDPs
- Determination of size by NTA: no alternative to Malvern
2. Biocompatibility studies of nDPs for pre-clinical trials
- AMES test: novel method for nano particles established
- Single dose escalation toxicity study in rats (ongoing): nDP in glucose in higher concentration realized
3. Detachment of VEGF-165 and angiopoietin from the surfaces of nano diamond particles (nDP) by means of radiolabeling successfully realized.
4. In vivo studies determined bioactivity of bounded BMP-2 to poly(L-lactide-co-e-caprolactone) scaffolds in different binding techniques.
5. Physisorption of BMP-2 to NCD-modified CeraSorb®M resulted in a higher ALP induction in comparison to non-modified materials treated with BMP-2. (n=3) The biological activity of the physisorbed BMP-2 could be verified.
6. Method to functionalize porous scaffolds and subsequently covalently bind growth factors. New technique to combine nDP and the polyester based scaffolds during the scaffold fabrication.
7. Synthesis of orthogonally functionalized nanodiamond materials with different orthogonal groups have been developed and can be used for the simultaneous grafting onto a polymer scaffold and the grafting of functional molecules, e.g. growth factors.
8. First preliminary results show that QCM can be a suitable technique for analyzing the interactions between PLA and poly(LLA-co-CL) and nDP, fibronectin and BMP-2.
Clinical observational study
One aim of the VascuBone consortium is to develop new therapeutic approaches for the regeneration of bone defects based on the application of bone marrow derived progenitor cells and biocompatible scaffolds. The translational aspect of this project is the design and executions of preclinical and clinical phase I trials addressing vascularized bone and soft tissue regeneration in:
1. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (FHN) (FhG, UWü)
2. Small maxillary defects (FhG, UiB, MUI)
3. Large bone defects of the facial skeleton (FhG, UiB, MUI)
4. Vascularized implants for the reconstruction of bronchotracheal defects (UWü-UKW, FhG)
For trial 3, preclinical trials are still ongoing (WP8) to fulfil regulatory requirements. For trial 1, 2 and 4 the preclinical phase is finished. For FHN treatment , initiation of the manufacturing process for MSCs has been started at partner FhG, UKW.
Trials on small maxillary defects and large bone defects of the facial skeleton have been designed but depending on the results of the large animal studies. Visualization and monitoring of implant ingrowth and remodelling in mandibular defects was successfully established by MRI. The manufacturing process for vascularized tracheal construct was adapted to GMP. The application for the clinical trial on TraVaSc implants will be performed after approval of TraVaSc manufacturing authorization.
Cell/tissue scaffold interactions
Biomaterial as being produced and/or refined by VascuBone consortium members is being tested in order to validate and predict potential future use in clinical applications. Hence non-modified and modified CeraSorb®M as well as synthetic materials are either loaded with cells or implanted in animal models in order to single out optimal scaffold modifications to enhance bone regeneration. Also using static and dynamic culture systems the response of primary human bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) to scaffolds has been tested.
Previous results indicated that
- Both CeraSorb®M and VascuBone synthetic material permit cell loading albeit under variant condition due to material specifications; showing variant cell loading attraction and capacity as well as differential proliferation of the loaded cells
- Modification of scaffold material with ECM components allows to introduce conditions for improved cell attachment
- Scaffolds bearing diamond nanoparticles enhance osteogenesis
- Biomaterials refined with nDP is amenable for biofunctionalization
Evaluation of cell sources for implant loading
Main objectives were (1) understanding of EPC-MSC Interactions, (2) evaluation of age related effects on the suitability of MSC for implant loading, and (3) optimization of EPC culture conditions towards GMP production for implementation in VascuBone products.
One partner is focusing on the distinction of optimal MSC populations and conditions to efficiently induce osteogenesis. This work is based on previously established genomic and functional analyses, which were designed to determine as well as to instruct the naïve cell to develop into an appropriate precursor cell type thus enabling in situ osteogenic differentiation. Applying 4-methyl umbelliferron (4MU) a fate decision in osteogenesis is enhanced mimicking the terminal stage of the osteogenic process. Notably cells cease proliferation, which is certainly of pertinent importance when employing cultivated MSC in vivo, as it is essential to warrant no further cell growth thus minimizing the risk of cancer formation. Furthermore, 4MU is capable of inducing osteocytogenesis. It is assumed that ostecytes are a robust long-living cell type, which builds bone matrix through the production of efficiently calcifying matrix. Mesenchymal cells when isolated from an environment of advanced age or otherwise when replicatively aged through excessive rounds of cell proliferation in vitro often exhibit a decreased propensity to differentiate. Treatment with a small molecule, which may also be infused at later time points during tissue engineering or presumably also in vivo post operation is a potent tool to stimulate and propel osteogenesis in a skewed situation of an elderly organism.
Endothelial precursor cells (EPCs) play an important role in postnatal vasculogenesis. Novel bone tissue engineering approaches using scaffolds seeded with MSCs plus EPCs may improve bone regeneration. Medicyte undertook efforts to find and finally establish the culture conditions of alternative cell type namely BOEC (Blood Endothelial Outgrowth Cells). Cell culture conditions have been optimized and cells have been provided to the consortium partners. To better understand cell-cell interaction of MSCs and EPCs, the changes of global gene expression patterns of human primary EPCs after having been subjected to conditioned medium of human primary MSCs or after direct cell-cell contact, and vice versa were finalized by UWü in affymetrix screening procedures and are currently compared to BOEC cells. UIB has analyzed the interaction of endothelial cells and MSC in scaffolds provided by KTH. Cells have been characterized via RT-PCR, ELISA and immunohistochemical analyses. Further constructs were subcutaneously implanted into immunocompromized mice and subsequently analyzed for inflammation and angiogenesis. This will help to better understand the crosstalk of MSCs and endothelial cells, which will finally aid to the improvement of vascularized tissue engineering constructs. Although the resources for GMP production were available at FhG, the adoption of a production process for EPCs to GMP requirements has not been started, because the culture expansion and lifespan of EPC did not allow seeding of BioVaSc. Currently, BOEC cells are being used and allows for higher cell numbers. Therefore activities were focused on establishing methods to characterize the growth properties on the BioVaSc and to establish bioreactor systems to cultivate cells under controlled conditions to high density.
Development of a pre-vascularized bone implantThis work package seeks the construction of a pre-vascularized bone implant. In order to achieve this goal a range of different techniques has to be employed and refined. Equipment and materials developed and/or modified by the consortium will be combined with the findings acquired during the earlier tasks in the project to progress towards the key objective.
- The initial step of seeding porous 3D scaffolds was optimized by the application of bioreactor systems as well as adjusting dynamic culture conditions and validated for ß-TCP scaffolds (CeraSorb®M). Further experiments expanded the insight into the effects of these aspects on cells seeded on Polymer scaffolds (supplied by KTH) by gene expression analysis.
- Crucial for assessing factors that induce or support angiogenesis is a method that allows quantitative measurement of such an angiogenic effect.
- Progress towards a transfer of pre-vascularized bone implants to GMP conform manufacturing was made by additional enhancements of the current bioreactor technology.
- Successful application of methods to analyze Polymer scaffolds produced by KTH qRT-PCR and revealed the increased induction of stress and osteogenic differentiation related genes in cells seeded on the polymer scaffolds under dynamic culture conditions in a bioreactor as compared to static conditions.
- A method for quantitatively assaying angiogenic effects was developed in task 7.3. This allows the identification of optimum parameters for growth factor gradients relevant for pre-vascularizing bone implants. The method makes use of life cell imaging and subsequent trajectory analysis to quantify the effects.
- Bioreactor technology was modified towards GMP by introducing a separation between pumps and control unit. This way, a controlled dynamic perfusion of the BioVaSc can be achieved in a GMP environment while monitoring and control of relevant parameters can be undertaken outside the GMP area.
Preclinical trials
Animal experiments in femoral hip necroses are already performed and the MRI analysis with a developed scanner is already established. The preclinical trial for lateral augmentation in the mandible is nearly finished and the preclinical evaluation of mandibular continuity defects is in progress. The preclinical model of a critical size defect in the femur in a large animal is established and the production of a prevascularized implant is standardized. The preclinical trial will start in January 2014.
To provide a sufficient lead bearing osteosynthesis in continuity defects experiments on the ideal osteosynthesis plate position are performed. Furthermore chondral ossification and host response from constructs loaded with co-cultured cells in copolymer scaffold using a rat calvarial defect model are investigated.
Dissemination and exploitation
The CA has been signed by all partners. An amendment regarding the proper handling of foreground and organizing of protection is planned, a draft amendment has been provided to the partners for commenting on 09.12.13. A draft plan for use and dissemination has been completed. Lunch symposia and EU-project session were organized in international symposia. The tools and products of VascuBone were presented at fairs, like the Bio Europe.

Tips and guides are very important components in the make up of a great fishing rod. If a rod tip or its guides are not of quality material, they will wear out much quicker. The initial time you will notice this is when you start dropping lures while casting or bringing in a fish. One of the best producers of guides is Fuji. Their hardloy guides are ideal for freshwater and light saltwater zenaq rods whilst graphite- ceramic is very best for all other types of saltwater fishing.Used "Bible and Religious" products or publications. From crosses and bibles to sacred objects and angels, they all resell really great on ebay. Bibles and spiritual products promote for much more cash when they are used for some purpose. The more mature the much more money it will be worth. Used bibles and religious products get $40.00-$4000.00+ on ebay. Based on how previous it is and what situation it's in.You might have an idea of what tenting might be. Perhaps you have been camping prior to or you know someone who has gone prior to. Tenting is not just sitting in a tent and performing nothing all day long. There are numerous fun actions that you can plan to make your vacation more fun. The very best time to go tenting would either be in the summer or in early drop but if you are searching for an actual relaxed vacation, tenting may not be the best option for you. Tenting can give you a break from everyday tiresome tasks but it can also be physically exhausting. Some activities that you can do whilst camping are hiking or hunting and you will need to get the right equipment prior to going off such as fixed blade knives and hunting knives.There are a lot of telescoping rod choices on the marketplace. Some don't collapse as little as a pen rod, but lengthen out to longer shimano Reels Maintenance, which may be important if you are planning on catching larger fish, or if you need a longer solid. But few travel rods have the benefits of a pen rod. The small package and extremely mild excess weight of these rods make them very simple to bring along on any tour. They can even be utilized as a backup choice, in situation some thing occurs to your primary rig.This rod is the specialty sequence of famous fisherman Jim Moyer, who designed the Berkley E-Glass rod. This is a fantastic high finish rod, and it comes in a few of various measurements, based on where you're fishing. For great sized rivers, they provide the larger rods, which have stainless metal guides, in addition to the E-Glass and cork utilized for the deal with. The smaller sized models, which are mostly the same but use titanium instead of stainless metal, are ideal for catching smaller sized catfish. 1 of the factors this is called "the Boss" is that it's hefty duty. These rods go for about $70, which is quite a little bit more than the usual things you discover, but it is a well-made, designer fishing rod that is well really worth the cost.When choosing zenaq rods, you have to go for one that is six feet lengthy and that it should be of medium excess weight and with instructions. This will make it possible to fish much from the boat and that it will make sure that you are comfortable when you carry out this action from the comfort of your boat.The rod and reel are the most basic of all fishing gear. You can go with a fundamental established if you are purchasing for children or are just the casual fisherman. You'll also select basic deal with including hooks, sinkers, fishing line and as bobbers. You'll need needle nose pliers too. You should think about purchasing a net as nicely. Make sure to choose the right size of internet as a small net can effortlessly shed you the catch. If you fish for a quantity of different fish, then look for 1 bigger and one smaller option to consider.Fly fishing is an old method of angling. It was primarily created to capture trout and salmon. Today, it is nonetheless utilized to fish these species, but is also used to catch bass, carp, pike and a broad range of saltwater fish. The difference in between casting and fly fishing is that in casting you use the excess weight of your bait, sinker and bobber to propel your solid. In fly fishing, the excess weight of the line propels your line ahead and puts your fly into position. The fly cannot do this, as it is essentially weightless. The goal in fly fishing is to present the fly carefully and to usually be in control of it.If you are just starting out and want to apply your technique with a smaller sized capture, use an ultra mild fishing deal with. You will need to take alongside a few additional zenaq rods. Don't worry you gained't need as many fingers. When you discover your location, established up your rods and let your lines soak. Getting a number of rods soaking at a time will work towards increasing your chances of a higher capture. Make sure that your drags are not too tightly set on the reels. A small extra size would encourage the fish to swim off with the bait, when this occurs the hook will immediately puncture the fish and keep it from escaping. Tighten your maintain on the fishing rod as quickly as you hear the drag. This is exactly where the battle of wits starts. Keep your awesome and exert just enough stress to keep the fish hooked.

Well I finally Man'd up and deleted the ex-girlfriend from Facebook and other messenger things. I mean, if you don't have the fucking ovaries to pick up a phone and call me back when you're the one that wants to meet up, when you organize seeing me, but then stand me up, you say you miss me, but you don't want to see me, you become waste to me. I'm sure she's a lovely girl, but a friend of mine said something very important to me - she doesn't respect educated, smart guys. She respects your thug type of guy who will probably cheat on her, and slap her around on occasion. After thinking about it, I think he's right. She is more of a gangster type of chick. Good luck to you! I loved you and am grateful for the wonderful moments we shared. But when you try to look at me on Facebook or text me, you'll be in for a small surprise. It's funny how you seemed to have time to hang out with all these other people, but would always put me on the backburner. I guess you thought I'd always be there. You were wrong.

One of the biggest challenges facing the Greenfield Collaborative Action Team was where to start with a project for the long-term goal of improving early education. Michelle Slade, Chief Strategist, explains that in meetings and conferences, the clear choice was Kindergarten registration. "One of the challenges that came up around Kinder-readiness was that families were registering children late," says Slade, "and then that would really impact the school processes of assessment, classroom placement, etc." The team seized the opportunity and created a Kindergarten Registration festival.
This first year was a great success, and the team realized they could find where their students were coming from, their health history, and what sort of Pre-K schooling they had experienced. A survey was developed, and the school district was provided with all this information.
The Festival also includes on-site immunizations for those students who are behind on their shots. This prevents any further delay in registration.
The medical exam also includes vision and hearing screenings.
The festival focuses on a student centered family, making sure that the family is just as involved with the process as the students.
Measure Success
The team measures success in the number of families reached and students registered successfully. While their goals change with new obstacles and experiences, this remains their core ideal.
Why This Matters
One of the factors in late registration that the festival would address would be immunization; many parents were unaware of this requirement and affordability and access were scarce.
What's Next?
The team aims to keep learning from year to year. With the first festival, they learned they needed more information on the students' backgrounds in order to give the schools the information they require.
From the second year, they realized that a medical booth in the middle of a kid-friendly festival was not going to be a huge hit; thus, they began to promote the hours of operation of the local immunization clinics.
Parents of kinder-ready students.
Greenfield Collaborative Action Team works closely with the school districts to determine the information that they require to enroll students.
The team also involves students and parents in the process, and make sure that local clinics who provide immunizations are involved and promoted to the families.

Want to see a doctor or specialist to get some answers. It's one thing to compare symptoms, come to a conclusion and take action. But maybe speaking to someone will give more peace of mind and advice on what action to take. I think i'm starting off in the right direction.
I bought some milk thistle but haven't used it yet so I'm going to start using it. I've been drinking a lot of water with ginger and lemon.
Thanks Raster!

Just finished watching Taken for the second time... Niam Leeson was great. Above that, it was shot in Paris and it reminds me of our Paris experience last year! Hmmm I remember the black guy on suit and sunshades strolling around the airport when we just arrived... Jide called him a lost Nigerian (abi Jide...), I disagreed cos he was darker than an average dark Nigerian. He was kinda scary but the aura of being in Paris didn't make me realize until I saw this film.
Ok they smoke a lot over there!!! See cigarettes, burnt (abi she na smoked...) ones. Ahn Ahn!!! I remember I saw a Tom-Tom wrapper with the pile of cigarettes. That new Tom-Tom flavor then... the one with blue wrapper. Jide argued it wasn't Tom-Tom, but my eyes were not deceiving me now!!! He latter agreed. Of course one Naija guy (or gal) av been there and the person brought Tom-Tom along, The person smoked too, Hmmm...
Where Kim lodged, I think it's at Bir-Hakeem, not sure sha but it looks very much like Bir-Hakeem. Where he met with Jean-Claude, I'm very sure it's La Defense. The Arc Du Triumphe was clearly visible.
Ok I saw The Eye too... Jessica Alba. Hot stuff.
Started work (IT that is) on Thursday. Everyone who hears that I'm working at the department thinks I was lured into doing it... plus no pay!!! Damilola asked me on Thursday "are you sure this is what you want?" My answer: "Of course, I chose it... I had choices but I chose this for a reason". Thanks babe for your concern, and Rayo too... Thanks.

Everybody has creative mind, but it requires the way to express to the world. Creativity makes a person to think more productive way, find efficient solution to improve human lives.
There are tons of books on unleashing creativity on the internet. But here in this article I picked up 6 books which I personally read are most influenced and practical approach to the creativity. These 4 books will help you to improve your thinking ability and unleash the potential of creativity with you.
Think Fast and Slow
The name of the book itself tells what the book is all about;Kahneman is an Israeli-American Nobel literature in economic science and a psychologist. He pointed out two systems of thinking, think fast and slow. Two systems will not work simultaneously, but it's about a situation where these two systems come into play.
The easiest way to increase happiness is to control your use of time. Can you find more time to do the things you enjoy doing –Kahneman
When person thinking fast on a situation, his view will be different and that required but not for all situation. Some time slow thinking will helps to understand the dimension of the situation and he can able to see more clear things which will result in great positive decision.
In this book Kahneman explore different type of exercises any one can try and get help.
This book must be read for students, business people, entrepreneurs, and who want to improve their decision making ability.
Art of Creative Thinking
Creativity is not something that you are born with. It is how we have to develop through the thinking. Creativity can improve the things which we see; creativity can help us to work efficiently.
The creative mind seeks chance and accident while everyone else seeks control and order – Rod Judkins
The book is written by Rod Judkins is a lecturer at Central St Martin's. The book gives a step by step insight into how to develop and express creativity with some scenario and success story may help you to find a way to think and gives cue on creativity.
All the chapters in this book are short and insightful. You can pick any chapter and start reading there is no linear way start from the first chapter.
Making Ideas Happen
Everybody gets Ideas in some way, Ideas will come when mind is calm and still. An entrepreneur always concentrates on ideas when they get they immediately write it down and they will start working on it. Success is for only those who execute ideas.
Creativity is, quite simply, a genuine interest combined with initiative.
-Scott Belsky
Creative people tend to have lots of ideas on how to improve product or service, but they have difficulties to execute those ideas. Everybody has lots of ideas they come and go, but success only comes to those who can execute those ideas into action.
Scott Belsky the author of this book, the book divided into three sections, Organization and Execution; the Forces of Community; Leadership Capacity. These three organized action will help to execute any ideas into reality.
Creative Confidence
Creative Confidence is written by founder of IDEO and Stanford design school David Kelley and Tom Kelley. They Identified principles and strategy to explore our creative potential and how we can approach and solved problems.
Striving for perfection can get in the way during the early stages of the creative process – David Kelley
This book gives some guideline and examples of how design thinking created some great solutions. This book helps us how to be more productive and successful in our business and career.
Big Magic
The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them – Elizabeth Gilbert
Elizabeth Gilbert shares her wisdom of imaginative process about creativity. Gilbert explains how curiosity leads to ideas, and when ideas are paid attention to, true magic can happen. She says, " The idea will organize coincidences and portents to tumble across your path, to keep your interest keen everything you see and touch and do will remind you of the idea.
The Artist's Way
Creativity – like human life itself – begins in darkness – Julia Cameron

Man Injured at Work Files Suit
A man living in Eaton Township recently filed a suit after he lost his legs while at work.
The work accident suit has been filed against several companies, as well as the town of Bloomsburg and its recycling center.
Man Experiences Life Altering Injury
Tony Barber was supposedly working at Waste Reduction and Recycling Enterprises when he fell into a baler while he was trying to dislodge a piece of cardboard from a machine.
After enduring nine hours of surgery at the Community Medical Center, Barber was eventually forced to have his legs amputated and now wears prosthetic legs.
Suit Filed
A suit was filed against the township and the companies and seeks more than $50,000 in compensation for Barber's injuries.
According to court documents, the recycling center was negligent for failing to inspect the baler before allowing employees to use the device.
The companies have also been cited for negligence due to the fact that they failed to put safety features on the baler and other machines in the facility.

I've been doing quite a bit of experimentation with my beers since going to all grain brewing, but I've been hoping to do some more work on some older recipes. Specifically, I had been thinking about having a sort of Haus Bier. Something that I've always got a few bottles of, that's good, that if people stop by, I know I can bust this out, and it'll be a crowd pleaser. My Rye Ale last year was definitely a candidate. It was really smooth, not too assertive, so it would work for beer nerds and BMC fans alike.
Red Rye-
Two row pale malt- 5 lbs
Rye Malt- 3 lbs
Crystal Malt 60L- 8 ounces
Black Patent- 3 ounces
Rice hulls- 1 pound
Willammette- 1 oz- 60 minutes
Noble hop mix- ?oz- a few minutes
Wyeast 1056 American Ale- pitched on to the yeast cake from the yet to be named Pale Ale from the week before
98/125/151/157- hot water infusions- the 157 was supposed to be a mash out, but I just ran out of room in my cooler. 5 gallons is definitely undersized. I may need to upgrade this year.
Gravity- target/actual/final/ABV
This is pretty much the same recipe as last year, plus a little Crystal malt and some Patent for color (this seems to be the year of Black Patent color additions). As far as the hops go, I feel like when I'm brewing something like a Rye, I want the malt to really be showcased, and the hops should be in the background. The Willammette addition should give it a complementary bitterness. The Noble hop melange is a mix of Mt Hood and Crystal that I had only very small amounts of, so I was looking to get rid of them. I was a little frustrated by the mash problems I had earlier, so they were really more of an afterthought.
Needless to say failing to hit my mash out temp turned the mash into a five gallon cooler full of cement. I vorlaufed, started the runoff, and I don't think I got to half a gallon before the mash just set completely. It was back to transferring the mash to a bucket, so it turned into a long and tremendously messy brew day. The rice hulls didn't do a damn bit of good as far as I could tell, and I think the 98 degree rest was far to thick to do any good. Anyway. While this beer is going to be a good one, the thought of brewing it every four to six weeks as a Haus Bier is just a little more work than I think I could take. I may try a different iteration later this year with flaked rye instead. I'll have to research what sort of differences that would make.
Pitching on to the yeast cake was explosive. So explosive, in fact, that in the week it took me to get around the writing this, it's already done with primary fermentation. I racked it yesterday.

When you pitched on top of the yeast cake, how fast did the fermentation start if you remember? The only time I did back to back brew where I pitched on a yest cake, there was activity in the bubbler in about 2 hours.
It blew my mind.

Yeah, practically anytime I pitch on to a yeast cake, the bubbling starts in the airlock in less than an hour. I used to never need a blowoff tube, and now I use one every time I use this technique.

This is great news to see, thanks for taking the time for the long-term updates! Do you think you've felt any different all these years on the generic Costco finasteride, vs. when you took name-brand Propecia in the early days? In either case, no notable side effects from either all these years?
I am 41 and was thinking of starting name-brand Propecia (it's $75 at CVS though for 30 1mg pills!).

Champagne is a former province of France, located in the northeast part of the country on the west bank of the River Meuse. Its main city is Troyes, and it is one of France's celebrated wine regions. In ancient times, the area was ruled by the Counts of Champagne.
The Romans overran Champagne and most other areas of France in the 1st century BC. In the 5th century, it was conquered again, this time by the Franks.
In the 10th century Gueringfroi, who became the first Lord of Aumale, built the Castle of Aumale. His family later became the Counts of Champagne. In 1053, this royal house intermarried with that of the Counts of Pictou. The child of this marriage, Adelaide, married the then Count of Champagne. Around 1055, the count also held the titles of Sire de Aumale and Lord of Aumale. In 1066, he pledged his allegiance to William, Duke of Normandy as part of the epochal conquest of England. Eudes, Count of Champagne, attended the Duke of Normandy at the Battle of Hastings.
Champagne comprised the regions of Aube, La Marne, Haute Marne, the Ardennes, and the Yonne. It was given in the 10th century to the House of Vernandois. Champagne was then re-united with the French Crown in 1191 by Philippe Auguste.
Modern Champagne is one of the most vital economic and cultural regions of France, as well as the birthplace of the drink that carries its name.

On Art and Spirituality – Reflections by Tadas Juras
In the earlier stages of history, religion and art were hardly separable things. It often was the case that one of them was content and the other form. Nowadays it seems that content went one way and form another way: they have become separate things. It seems that, in some cases, art became incompatible with a spiritual quest. Why is this so?
I wish to make some reflections, before going deeper into details.
Both art and spirituality have two levels: authentic and popular. On the popular level they have many similar traits: forms are rather common, content is trivial. It seems there is not so much real inspiration on this level. The goal of art and spirituality here is also similar – to attract, to sell, to earn. There is not much emphasis on authentic values and sustained efforts to influence positively the mind of the viewers. When speaking about art and the spiritual quest, it is best not to confuse these levels and compare the authentic level of one with the popular level of the other.
Art is self-expression; so as in any other activity, it inevitably mirrors the person's outlook, values and state of mind in general. We can say that the content of art – its main message – entirely depends on the values and understanding of the artist. On the authentic level, the content of art is philosophy and/or direct insights into reality, which are the core of spiritual quest. As we can see, there is no intrinsic opposition or incompatibility between these two.
Let's look at art and spiritual quest a little bit closer.
Artists usually search for some new forms of expression, try to create, to think out something new, something particular, something original… Sometimes it seems, they are very preoccupied by the idea of originality.
On the other hand the purpose of the spiritual quest is to find ones own self, the place that connects one with the beginning. So the spiritual quest is about origins, but not always original in a sense "inventive and unusual."
The spiritual seeker wishes to return to the state that is the the most purely natural, innate to all of us; to the state that is the foundation of all kinds of creation.
It sometimes happens that the person who has never experienced the blissfulness, the liveliness, the novelty of this state – the person who is trying to find this blissful novelty on the intellectual or conceptual level – oftentimes views this spiritual quest as tiresome and something that kills or diminishes individuality. The artist in this case tries to emphasize this very individuality, uniqueness, this originality. However, often this overwhelming pursuit of originality becomes not as rewarding as one might initially think.
In most cases it happens that what was new and exciting to the mind, in due time becomes boring, uninteresting or unsatisfying. Wanting to run away from this, the mind tries to create something new to achieve, but the fact is that the only way to escape this boredom is to find a pause, an opening in this plane of the conceptual mind. Only by leaving this conceptual level and reaching a place where time stops, the mind becomes free and can find rest in its natural state.
So art – on an authentic, intuitive level – can provide a way for one to leave the conceptual plane of the mind and enter the natural state of pure awareness. Art can and should be a way to "kill the conceptual mind" – stop ones stream of thoughts and bring one to the state of silence, that natural state we are all longing for.
In this way, art and spiritual quest become one.

A fab time was had by all the children visiting Leyburn Library during this years Summer Reading Challenge – "The Big Friend Read". Vanessa Card a professional puppet maker and illustrator provided puppet, mask, shadow theatre activites to all ages.
Puppet Making at Leyburn Library
Creative Writer, Irene Lofthouse and Mix Media artist, Sue Dewhurst joined the residents of Thornborough Hall Gardens in a reminiscence project called "This is Me". Poetry, stories and icons were created by the artists from talking to the group about their memories. So much was learnt about their lives which made it such a wonderful valuble, rewarding experience.
Photographer Jonathan Turner at Stokesley Library
Photographer Jonathan Turner came to Stokesley Library in the summer, to lead two workshops which explored ways of depicting Stokesley and Great Ayton, with two groups of amateur photographers. The groups took some stunning portraits of local people, went out and about in the surrounding area, and took photos of Stokesley 'then and now'. Both groups, one of young mums and the other a bit older, had a wonderful time learning new photographic skills.
The photography workshops culminated in an exhibition of selected photos entitled 'Through the Lens', held at Stokesley Library in July 2016. Some of the photos are shown above.
Music workshops at Stokesley Library
Think 'quiet in the Library' – think again! Stokesley Library has been reverberating to the sound of guitars, keyboards, drums and ukuleles for the past 4 weeks as Alex Cromarty has been working with a group of youngsters from Stokesley and a group of adults from local Yatton House, raising the roof and learning song-writing skills along the way.
We have had a brilliant time creating songs which Alex recorded for each member of the group. Themes ranged from 'Hunger Games' to love and loss, 'what we like', and the pleasure of simply making music. Alex was inspirational, creating lyrics and music that everyone could join in.
'It's better than the gym!' one participant gasped after a drumming session.
"This is Me" project – Catterick Garrison library
What do you get when you combine 2 amazing and dedicated artists, 4 year groups from a local school, a group of veterans from a local supported housing scheme, several members of a veterans' art group, assorted members of the public, and a fantastic library space?
See below for the answers!
Irene Lofthouse, creative writer, and Sue Dewhurst, mixed media artist, worked together with everyone involved to create icons, stories, mini-books and matchboxes of intrigue all celebrating special people/pets in the lives of the participants, or the lives of the participants themselves.
The results and the process were pretty amazing. Some made the whole journey, from planning to creating and exhibiting, others joined in at different stages, some at the library, some on more familiar home ground. Irene and Sue responded to all these differing needs with patience, skill and humour. We all loved the buzz and colour that enhanced the library during the workshops and exhibition and look forward to the next stage of our Creative Residencies programme.

Bilton and Woodfield Library Photography Course
A number of camera owners keen to learn and improve their skills embarked on the Creative Photography workshops run by Jonathan Turner. During week one Jonathan sent us out into the local area with a long list of items to photograph. At first this seemed an impossible task; the area around our library is pleasant enough but a must go destination for photographers it is not. However, photographs were taken and the results were varied and often surprising. There was a snail crossing a road via a zebra crossing, a blackbird taking a bath, intricate patterns on manhole covers, people at work, reflections in puddles and a myriad of amazing shapes seen in the most mundane of objects.
Other sessions saw us in the beautiful Nidd Gorge where the photographic workshop almost became a nature walk and a history walk. Somehow we managed to accomplish all three and take some stunning shots.
On the subject of history, thanks to Bilton Historical Society, we were in possession of several old prints. The task was to try and find the exact spot where the original photographer had stood. It was easier said than done, but great fun. Afterwards, on the laptops in the library, Jonathan showed us how to edit, compare and present the photographs.
Jonathan is a keen portrait photographic and lost no time in sharing with us techniques to achieve good results. He sent us out into the local community to photograph as many people as we could persuade to pose for us. We photographed shopkeepers, dog walkers, each other and some willing models on the local allotment site where some of our group also learnt how to grow asparagus.
We all feel we have improved our skills and enjoyed the experience immensely. We are now looking forward to seeing the book Jonathan is compiling for us. To have gone on longer than the four weeks would have been great so we are now looking at the possibility of establishing a photography group at the library.
Bilton & Woodfield Library Music Workshops
Our first Creative Residences artist was musician Alec Cromarty. He is a drummer but plays several instruments and is ace at song writing. He ran four weekly song writing workshops for adults and four for children – but it turned out to be much more than that. There were several different types of instrument for people to try, though quite a few of the participants brought their own.
Radio York found out about the workshops and wanted to do a live broadcast on their breakfast show. Our first part of the interview was over the phone. We told the listeners about the fabulous workshops and also about the other wonderful things that take place in our library.
When the reporter arrived she set Alec the challenge of writing a song in half an hour about the Breakfast Show. He rose to this magnificently. Radio York liked the song so much they played it several times during the show and it has been played since. If you hear it, it was recorded live in our library.
Most participants had some musical experience but not so the volunteers who helped facilitate the sessions. It was discovered that some of them could sing quite well and recordings have been made to prove it.
The library came alive to the sound of music. Unfortunately we had to run the sessions when the library was closed to the public because we only have a small space and loud music doesn't mix too well with serious study and reading but, the sessions have given us ideas on what perhaps could be achieved in the future.
Now we are looking forward to our next opportunity to be creative – photography.

Italian Leather Jackets
Italian leather jackets: The exclusive style for fashion consicous
Italian leather is one of the nicest, most high quality leather available on today's market. The secret of Italian leather is that when it's produced, they only use the best of the best cowhides around for a superior quality among even the most sophisticated consumer.
There are many styles you can wear this season, such as the leather biker jacket, the leather bomber, a leather winter coat, a leather blazer, a leather hoodie, a suede leather bomber, or even a long leather jacket. Any of these Italian leather jackets are great this season.
Italian leather jackets are just what you'd suppose they are. Leather jackets made out of leather from Italy. Italian leather is one of the worlds most renowned leathers period. The material feels good, it lasts a long time, and is generally much softer to the touch then other leather. Whatever the Italian secret is, they make the best of the best leather, which is why Italian leather jackets are so popular to begin with.
You can never go wrong when looking for that perfect Italian leather jacket with a leather biker jacket. This style of leather jacket was an instant success upon conception and has only gotten more popular as time has gone on. With sons of anarchy ending this season, this may indeed be one of the last5 chances for a while to buy yourself a leather biker jacket, wear it, and still be in style. Be bold and go with a style that screams American rebellion. Biker jackets have a huge and important history not only in fashion but in American culture as well. Be a part of that culture and buy yourself a fine leather biker jacket today
Or perhaps you'd be more comfortable with the style that started the leather biker jacket in the first place and go for the Italian leather bomber. After world war two, the leather bomber became so popular with Americas air force veterans that the style quickly spread to beyond military life into the mainstream. Ever since, this style of leather jacket has been insanely popular and has only grown in popularity since those glory days. Leather bombers are a symbol of America. You can't help but feel all that American pride just wearing one of these jackets. They started the biker jacket craze and are still warn by bikers to this very day.
As far as leather bombers go, the best look in the style by far would have to be the suede leather bomber. These jackets are the style you instantly think of when thinking of bomber jackets in the first place. Suede is one of those materials that just looks damn good no matter how you chose to wear it. Bomber jackets are no exception. These jackets look good, feel good, and are one of the warmest things you can wear this season.
Finally we come to two styles that don't necessarily have a lot to say. Leather long coats are great for those long nights out on the town when you know it's going to be a cold one. Leather blazers on the other hand are better for work environments then anything else. Depending on what kind of person you are will dictate which of the two styles you go for. If you're a city driven night owl, the long leather coat is probably the look for you. If your more into work then play however, leather blazers are a distinct look that sets you apart from the competition in terms of style.
