If you went to see the Emil Viklický Trio in April you may have noticed that there were in fact four musicians on stage. This was because Emil had a special guest with him, saxophonist Julian Nicholas. Julian kindly took the time to tell Prague Jazz a little about his experiences with Emil and the Czech jazz scene. We started by asking him how he first met one of the legends of Central European jazz...
"I met Emil in Wales. We were both teaching on a Jazz Summer School and played in the 'club' in the evenings, finding a mutuality in our music that could be said to emerge from 'folk'-ish expression, and perhaps a Jarret-Gabarek ECM background. Emil invited the drummer David Wickins and myself to come and teach on the Frydlant Jazz School and play some gigs.
"My greatest regret over the years is that I haven't been able to reciprocate with engagements in the UK the kind of situations that Emil has set up for so many of us in the Czech Republic, but next year I will be freer to promote myself in the UK and work towards making things happen for us there too. Last year we recorded a duo concert in Leipzig, and I believe the promoter may be open to the idea of us forming an international quartet there next time, but generally the plans are improvised like the music. Opportunity provides...
The Czech jazz scene not only has a significant heritage of world class artists, but continues to produce them through inspiring young players to go to college and gig a wide range of styles. However, it would be foolish to pretend that it doesn't suffer from all the same syndromes as every jazz scene the world over: clubs with a reputation and tourist interest not paying enough or knowing or caring enough, no real media coverage or airtime, no record company or publisher business development support, and film and television companies not distinguishing between the real thing and potted clichés. Therefore musicians are forced to exist in cliques or sub-scenes, often pressured to compete with one another instead of pooling resources and working together to combat the anti-jazz exploitative capitalism of the media, some clubs, and the so-called "commercial music scene". But the upside is that there is, deep down, in most of Europe, Scandinavia, Japan and the United States, a culture of respect for the artistic endeavours and heritage of the Jazz Artist that hasn't survived in mainstream culture in the UK. It still exists in the Czech Republic.
"For example, on Friday we played at the festival in Polička, a small town that has hosted jazz musicians annually for 15 years, and has consequently enriched its local people with a greater understanding of the wide range of music under the jazz umbrella, bringing them together in a unique and very different atmosphere than 'pop' and classical musics can achieve.
"My memories of playing in the Czech Republic are rich with magic moments, like recording our album Food Of Love in the atmospheric orchestral [Český rozhlas] broadcasting Studio A in Karlín, all the times Emil has brought together truly individual players from the Czech scene and internationals like Steve Houben and Scott Robinson for tours or the gig at the Castle, and playing Emil's home town gig Olomouc and feeling 'spoilt' by the level of attention. Many more to come, I'm sure..."
Many thanks to Julian for his time and thoughts, and we look forward to seeing him in Prague again soon. For those of you who didn't get to see him play here's a treat – an "official bootleg" video of him in action recorded from the top of Emil's piano at the Polička Jazz Festival. The band are playing one of Julian's own pieces, "1000 Ships".

As unpleasant as Quotes Chimp may be to purchase auto insurance, it will be even more distasteful if you don't fully understand the who's, why's, what's, and how's of your coverage. And since ignorance is never bliss when it comes to insurance, it pays to know your policy, from the declarations page to the fine print.

The latest July 3 XLink candidate recommendation introduces title type elements as a supplement to xlink:title attributes. I'm really not sure they're necessary or useful in practice, and I'd like to propose simplifying XLink by deleting all reference to title type attributes. Here's my reasoning: Since semantics of child elements of XLink elements like arc and locator elements, including title type elements are application defined, why not just leave this up the application? Applications can decide what is and is not a title for an XLink element on an appication by application basis. Since the spec doesn't provide a syntax for title type elements, applications require application-level logic to figure out what to do with titles anyway. Furthermore, allowing title elements requires XLink processors to go one level further down the tree in an extended link. It seems cleaner to say that only immediate children of the extended link element can have any possible implications for the extended link, with no exceptions. As it is now title type elements may appear as grandchildren of the extended link element, the only such grandchildren elements. The one use case given in the CR is "One common motivation for using the title-type element is to account for internationalization and localization. For example, title markup might be necessary for bidirectional contexts or in East Asian languages, and multiple titles might be necessary for different natural-language versions of a title." I suspect this could be done with non-XLink defined markup anyway, but if XLink markup is really required then this should limit the content of a title element to #PCDATA, same as the single title attribute it's subbing for. But mostly, since there's no syntax defined for the title type elements, applications will need to define their own semantics anyway; and they could do this just as easily with elements that were not defined in the XLink specification. I just don't see what title type elements bring to the party. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | email@example.com | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Java I/O (O'Reilly & Associates, 1999) | | http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/books/javaio/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1565924851/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+Received on Monday, 10 July 2000 19:19:21 UTC

Continued Level of Significant Insider Selling at MSC Industrial (MSM)
There was a significant sale of shares of MSC Industrial by an insider today, as indicated in a form 4 document filed with the SEC. One insider — Mitchell Jacobson, 10% Owner and Director — disposed of 18,098 shares in the company having a market value of approximately $1,479,331. There was one insider buy/sell transaction in the past 90 days prior to this transaction which resulted in the sale of 13,582 shares. Adding the most recent activity to this 90-day history indicates insider trades have been net sales of 31,680 shares and have averaged 15,840 shares per transaction over this time period.
MSC Industrial insider trading represents a level of buy/sell trades that is above for the 18 peer company average over the last 90-day period. The Industrial Machinery peer group saw 21 buy/sell trades during this period for an average of 1.2 transactions per company. The number of shares per buy/sell trade for MSC Industrial insiders was also higher. Within the peer group there were 18,000 shares purchased and 160,140 shares sold with company insiders having sold 6,769 shares on average.
Insider buying and selling activity that is significant has been determined by eliminating all trading activity reported to the SEC that involves awards, options, exercise of derivative securities, company buy-backs, taxes, gifts, shares acquired via inheritance and tenders or exchange offers in creating and writing this story.
Using proprietary Natural Language Generation (NLG) technology, UpTick evaluates corporate insider filings reported to the SEC and creates real-time news and analysis to report the most significant insider transactions based on transaction type, size and historical trends.

E3 Live is a blue algae supplement called AFA (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae) and considered by world-renown health authorities to be nature's most versatile superfood.

E3 AFA is a non-GMO heirloom variety.

2. New Chapter Mineral Food Complex
This stuff is fantastic. It is a mineral complex that acts as an electrolyte and metabolism support. There's also vitamins for your hair, skin, and nails. Minerals are a really important thing to supplement for…make sure you're getting enough minerals!
3.Omega 3 With High EPA
EPA is a key component of cardiovascular health, can significantly help with weight loss, and is proven to help boost your mood! Check out the info below from Omegavia on why EPA is so good for you:
EPA protects the brain, the nervous system and the heart
EPA controls your body's immunity
EPA fights disease by controlling inflammation
EPA is found in every cell of your body
EPA must be replenished every day with high EPA fish oil
EPA helps maintain health throughout your life
Where EPA Fish Oil is better than DHA
EPA fish oil regulates inflammation
EPA regulates pro-inflammatory effects of Omega-6. Reducing inflammation can reduce the pain of several age-related diseases associated with inflammation, like arthritis.
The reason why high EPA fish oil has such important benefits is because of its ability to alter the level of a hormone called Eicosanoids.
Eicosanoids are extremely powerful hormones. They control inflammation and pain. But they also control many other hormones in the body. Bad diet and not getting enough EPA can cause Eicosanoids to get out of control
High EPA fish oil reduces heart attack rates
Several clinical studies have shown the EPA can reduce death from major coronary events and heart disease
EPA fish oil and mood disorders
EPA improves mood disorders like depression, and schizophrenia while DHA by itself has no effect on any of the above
EPA fish oil and weight loss
EPA Omega-3 is involved in the brain's hunger signals. Too little EPA and your brain will tell your stomach that it is extra-hungry. Even if you just ate!
4. New Chapter Multivitamin
Made with organic vegetables and herbs
Energizing herbs including organic Maca and organic Schizandra provide stress support and promote dynamic energy levels.*
Cultured organic herbal blends provide energy & stress support and promote hormone, immune system, heart, and digestive health.*

Two-a-day formula is easy-to-take, easy-to-digest, and can be taken anytime ? even on an empty stomach!
Whole Food Multi Vitamins + Herbs + Minerals formulated specifically for the needs of every man and every woman
5. Adrenal Support from AdrenaSense
If I'm working more than usual, exercising alot, or just have alot going on in my life in general, I'll support my adrenals by taking this supplement. I don't take it every day, just when I think I might need it. Adrenal support is great for people who live busy sometimes stressful lives. When you're stressed your adrenals are weak, so support them! It will help your immune system from going into fight or flight mode and inevitably getting sick.

Where are you located? back to top
We are located in Harrisonville, Missouri about 40 minutes south of Kansas City and an hour and fifteen minutes from Kansas City International Airport.
Do I need to fill out an application to be considered for a puppy? back to top
Yes. Please fill out the Puppy Application under the Contact Us tab on the website.
The answers to these questions will help us get to know you and help us to help you choose the best puppy for you and your family. We do require you promise to love your new puppy as much it loves you!
How do I reserve a puppy? back to top
You can reserve a puppy by filling out the application indicating what breed, color, sex, and size you'll consider. Once we review your application we'll get back to you with our availability or info on our upcoming litters. If the litter has been bred or has already born you'll be asked to place a $500 deposit to reserve a puppy in the litter.
Is the deposit refundable? back to top
No, the $500 deposit is NOT refundable. We do this because some people will put their names on several breeder's lists and take the first available puppy. From very early on we begin looking for the characteristics and personality traits in our puppies that are best for each family that has placed a deposit. When there is a non-refundable deposit involved the chances are a lot higher that the party will be dedicated to picking a puppy from us and aren't making an impulsive decision like many do when they want the first available or simply see a puppy.
How does the waiting list work? back to top
The waiting list works such that once you have placed a deposit you will choose 4 puppies from the litter that you're interested in. Through the temperament assessment and your answers to a questionnaire regarding the kind of temperament you are looking for, the puppies will be allocated at 8 weeks of age. We do consider your preferences and will keep them in mind but we would not allow a timid or shy puppy to be placed in a home with several young children simply because it's the color and sex you've been wanting, or an active, very outgoing puppy, and assertive puppy to be placed in a home with a less active, retired couple.
What will my puppy come to me with? back to top
Your puppy will come to you with age appropriate vaccinations and dewormings, 5 day general health guarantee, vaccination record, 26 month health guarantee against genetic hip and eye defects, sample baggy of puppy food, a basic training and puppy training book, puppy toy, blanket/towel with mom and litter mates' scent, NuVet pamphlet and vitamin sample, 30 days of free pet insurance from Trupanion, puppy sized collar and pedigree. We also have a trainer that does a training session at pick up. We have group pick up sessions.
Can I visit your facility? back to top
We do not allow visitors that have not put a deposit on a puppy. We have heard of several breeders who have lost entire litters due to parvo virus. Many people go kennel hopping to shop for a puppy. If someone holds a puppy at X kennel that is infected with Parvo and then comes here and holds our puppies they can be infected with Parvo as well. It would also be irresponsible of us as breeders to allow visitors here who could infect puppies that have already been sold to those on the waiting list. We are not willing to risk the health and lives of our puppies. Please read more about our visitor's policy and other alternatives on our Policies page.
When will I be able to choose a puppy? back to top
Puppy allocation is done at 8 weeks old and is done once temperament testing and puppy personality has emerged. We consider it as well as the physical appearance of the dog you desire. You will choose four puppies you're willing to accept and through that, the temperament assessment results and your completed personality questionnaire we allocate a puppy to you. Obviously we won't make you take a puppy you don't want but we also won't place a puppy with you that we don't feel is a good fit.
What do I need to do to get ready for my new puppy? back to top
- Have a puppy is much like having a toddler! You need to puppy proof your home just as you would toddler proof it. Make sure there are no chemicals, poisons, electrical wires, cleaning detergents, etc laying around that the puppy can get into.
- Set up a crate area with a towel in one half of the area and newspaper in the other so the puppy can distinguish a sleep area and a potty area. Toys and treats are always good too! If you don't want to use a crate you can gate off a small area in a laundry room or hallway as long as it has non-absorbent surface!
- Find an area where you can take the puppy for frequent potty breaks. Take it back to the same spot each time – it will smell it's potty from before and go there again. Take the puppy potty quite frequently, at least every hour and after it has ate or drank a significant amount. Potty breaks prevent accidents and help to build the habit of going outside to potty.
Do you guarantee the health of your puppies? back to top
Yes we offer a 5 day general health guarantee against canine parvovirus, canine distemper, and hepatitis as well as a 26 month guarantee against any hip and eye defects (which can only be diagnosed by the Orthopedic Foundation of America and the Canine Eye Registration Foundation).
Are they all allergy friendly? back to top
No – no breed of dog is allergy friendly to everyone. Those who have previously purchased puppies from us and have an allergy to dander have found a higher tolerance to the labradoodle breed because it is low to non-shedding and dander free.
We do not sell puppies on a trial basis so you must consider what you/your family will do if an allergy issue arises after the purchase of the puppy. We might be able to take the puppy back pending available space but no refund will be offered. If we are not able to take the puppy back we will help you to rehome it and you are required to provide us with the name of the new owner for our records (it's stated in our contract/guarantee). Remember, our puppies are never to be placed in shelter or rescue organization!!! (You will sign your name to it before puppy pick up/delivery.) Please consider all of this prior to purchasing a puppy – it is a lifetime commitment! We are more than happy to provide you with references of our doodles near you who's owners would be willing to let you meet them to see how your allergies do around them.
What is the difference between F1, F2, F1B, and Multigenerational labradoodles? back to top
F1 labradoodles are 50% lab and 50% poodle. They tend to have more of the lab features with wispy-wavy hair. Their coat is maintenance free other than an occasionally brushing. They have low to moderate shedding which varies from puppy to puppy.
F2 labradoodles are the puppies of an F1 labradoodle bred to an F1 labradoodle. Their coats are less predicable than the F1's because and F1 is 50% lab and 50% poodle, some F2 puppies in a litter will receive more lab genes than poodle genes from their parents, others more poodle genes than labs genes, and some with equal lab and poodle genes like their parents. Thus you have only a few puppies that resemble their parents and most that resemble a lab or a poodle.
F1B labradoodles are 75% poodle and 25% lab. They are non shedding and more hypoallergenic than the F1. Their coat is very wavy to curly like that of a poodle. They do require more brushing and grooming to maintenance their curlier coat.
Australian Multigen labradoodles are the puppies of an F1B, or greater, bred to an Australian labradoodle. They are non-shedding like the F1B and do require more frequent brushing and grooming depending no how long you prefer to keep their coat.
Do you do any health testing of the parents? back to top
All of our breeding dogs have been OFA/Evet hip certified, OFA/Evet elbow certified Normal, OFA patella, OFA cardiac and OFA eye certified Clear and Normal and prc-d/DNA certified normal.
Are the parents of the puppies purebred or registered? back to top
Some of our parents are registered and some are not. We have chosen not to be long to the breed specific doodle associations and would be happy to visit with you about this if it is a concern for you. We do provide you a pedigree at pick up.
Are the puppies registered? back to top
No. We do not register our puppies. You can register your puppy with CKC by taking pics from specific angles and mailing them to CKC for evaluation and acceptance of the registration application.
Will my puppy be vaccinated and dewormed? back to top
Yes your puppy will receive a Vanguard 5 (5 in 1) vaccination that covers parvovirus, adenovirus 1 & 2, distemper, and parainfluenza prior to leaving our home.
Your puppy will be dewormed at 3, 5, and 7 weeks of age and every two week thereafter until they have left our home.
What is hybrid vigor? back to top
Hybrid vigor, also known as heterosis, refers to the possibility that a healthier offspring (puppy) may be produced from two parties (in this case, dogs). As we all know, it's generally healthier to have a broad genetic pool rather than a narrow genetic pool. That is why there are laws against inbreeding! When genetics are too close there can be problems and when a breed is bred again and again they begin to develop issues that are very common to their breed. Cross-breeding is done to reproduce desirable traits in two breeds and eliminate undesirable breed-specific traits. An eye defect called Retinal Atrophy can be found in Labs but is extremely rare in Standard Poodles. A purebred Lab would be more likely to have or carry the Retinal Atrophy defective gene than a Labradoodle because the Lab is being bred with a Poodle, a breed that does not tend to have the defect. The idea that the hybrid puppy is less likely to have such a defect is known as hybrid vigor. You can see the benefit of cross breeding a dog that has genetic/breed specific defects with a breed that does not have that same defect, therefore greatly reducing any chance of that defect being passed on.
Do you spay/neuter the puppies before they leave your facility? back to top
Yes, we do have our vet spay/neuter puppies prior to placing them in their homes. Puppies recover much quicker at such a young age and don't bother the incision like an older dog does. They rarely act like anything has been done and they bounce right back, whereas an older dog done even at 6 mos tend to lick and bother the incision and end up having to wear the cone and look so pitiful! We don't have to mess with it when it's performed so early. Spay/Neuter prevents breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer in females and testicular and prostate cancers in males. A neutered male does not have the sexual tendencies of a non-neutered male such as running off for females in heat, humping, frequent marking of his territory, etc. Spay/Neuter is also the only way to guarantee the prevention of unwanted litters. Males are the equivalent of females when neutered (and to be honest have a much sweeter personality in general) and don't hump, hike, etc when desexed.
How much grooming does a doodle require? back to top
Doodles vary in their grooming requirements because of the many coat types.
F1 doodles require very little to no grooming at all. Their coat is very manageable and low maintenance. We recommend and occasional face trim (maybe twice a year) and an occasional brushing always gives the coat a fresh, clean, look and is enjoyed by most puppies!
F1B doodles require more grooming than F1's. They have a lot more hair and more waves to curl which requires more frequent brushing to prevent matting and occasional trimming to keep the hair out of their eyes. They have a beautiful curly-wavy coat when well managed.
Australian Labradoodles and multigen goldendoodles can vary greatly depending on the look you like. Some owners like the long and shaggy look… others the clean, groomed look. We groom our doodles about ever 3 months, so quarterly.
Are you a puppy mill? back to top
No – Not even close! A puppy mill is horrible place where the people do not consider the happiness and health of the dogs. They do not consider the care and comfort of the dogs. The dogs are kept in small doggy runs rarely to be touched by humans. The dogs there are very skittish and timid because they have never been loved or show affection by a human. Puppy mills are dirty horrible places where dogs are there for the sole purpose of producing puppies. Their puppies are weaned off of them at a very early age to be sold to brokers, pet stores, and possibly animal research facilities, none of which we sell to.
Our dogs are first and foremost our pets. We play with them each and every day. They play together, chase and romp with one another in the yard, and enjoying lounging on our couch and chewing on bully sticks. They are our other children! They even get Christmas presents! They are extremely gentle and wouldn't hurt a fly. They are friendly and sociable with strangers. They aren't the lease bit aggressive even when they have puppies. We are involved with each puppy from the time it is born – literally, we cut the cord, bring the puppy to the teat, and help it to begin nursing. Breeding and raising dogs is an awesome responsibility and we take it very seriously.
Do you dock the tails of the puppies? back to top
No, we do not dock the tails of our puppies because we feel their tail is a major gauge of their thoughts and feelings and is too important to remove.
Does a male or female make a better pet? back to top
The wonderful personality of a labradoodle is in the breed, it is not sex specific. Males and females are equally great pets. Many people have various reasons for preferring one sex over the other, most of which are stereotypical. Both males and females are affectionate, playful, intelligent, trainable, and loyal. A neutered male is likely to squat to pee instead of hiking his leg, and if he does hike his leg he'll pee all in one spot instead of in several different places to mark his territory. A neutered male does not have the tendencies of a non-neutered male such as running off to look for females in heat, humping, aggressive toward other male dogs, etc. Spayed females do not have a heat cycle so you do not have to deal with bothersome bleeding during their cycle. Spaying and neutering prevents breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers in females and testicular and prostate related cancers in males.
Do you begin potty training the puppies before they are placed? back to top
We do allow the puppies access to grass but we do not begin potty/house training the puppies before they come to you. It would be impossible for us to potty train a litter of 5-10 puppies! Our puppies do begin going potty in the grass at 6 weeks of age and quickly make it a habit. From 3 weeks of age they have 24 -7 access to a puppy litter box and you'd be amazed at how clean their sleeping pin is. They do not like to potty in their sleep area.
How do you recommend potty/crate training? back to top
When beginning potty training you need to choose an area for your puppy to potty. Take the puppy to this same spot each time you take it out to potty and it will smell it's potty from the times before and go there. Right after the puppy has finished pottying praise it so it knows that what is has done is good. Small treats are always good too!
You must be consistent with the puppy and take it directly out to potty after letting it out of it's crate, as well as every hour and after it has ate or drank any significant amount. Frequent potty breaks prevent accidents and build the habit of going outside to potty. Never leave the puppy unsupervised during a potty break! Never leave a puppy unsupervised to roam around your home, this is just asking for accidents! Be patient and be consistent!

Crate Training back to top
First, you must set up small gated area or crate for your puppy to be in. This must be a safe and welcoming place for the puppy with a blanket or towel for sleeping, newspaper for pottying, toys, and a little food and water if you're going to be gone for a while. Puppies learn quickly to not potty in their sleep area and will hold it as long as possible to avoid dirtying their area. You can expect your puppy to hold it's potty 1 hr for ever month old it is (so an 8 week old puppy should be able to hold their potty for 2 hours) around 4-6 months when the puppy bladder has expanded it will be able to hold it's potty significantly longer.
Never use the crate for punishment! The puppy should never fear going to it's crate – it should be a happy, relaxing, comforting place. All dogs like a little downtime and their crate can be a great place for them to sleep and have some personal space.

What will the size of my labradoodle/goldendoodle be as an adult? back to top
We raise miniature and medium Australian labradoodles, miniature goldendoodles, and standard labradoodles.
Our Australian Labradoodles and Goldendoodles are miniature and medium size puppies. The following weight and height limits have been set for each size: Miniature Australian Labradoodles and Goldendoodles – 15-25 lbs and 14-16″ tall, Medium Australian Labradoodles and Goldendoodles- 30-50 lbs and 17-20 inches tall.
What is the lifespan of a doodle? back to top
Doodles that live a healthy lifestyle (quality diet, appropriate exercise, etc) will live to be 12-15 years old. Please consider this when committing to the labradoodle breed! Buying a puppy is a 12+ years commitment!
What kind of training do labradoodles need? back to top
A trained dog is a lot easier to live with than an untrained dog. Labradoodles are highly intelligent and easily trainable, especially at an early age. Simple commands like sit, stay, come, down, speak, etc are commands you can begin teaching your puppy at 8-10 weeks of age. There are basic training classes available that provide helpful tips for new owners and successful training methods for training your puppy. It is important for you, the trainer, to be patient with your puppy so it will trust you. Do not punish the puppy for not reacting correctly to a command – this will negatively affect the training process and breakdown the bond between puppy and master. It is also important to remember puppies are very curious and have short attention spans so keep the lesson relatively short. Remember, a good behaved, well socialized dog is a reflection of its responsible owner, an out of control, obnoxious dog is a reflection of it's irresponsible owner.
Do you sell labradoodles with breeding rights? back to top
We will consider selling an Australian Labradoodle or Goldendoodle with breeding rights but not to a kennel type breeding facility. Our dogs are part of our family and raised in our home and we would expect the same from another breeder that chose to breed one of our puppies. Breeding pups are sold under a breeder contract and are priced accordingly.
What will happen if I cannot keep my dog? back to top
Our love for our puppies goes beyond our home and we want them to be loved and happy. If for some reason and issue arises and you are no longer able to keep your puppy we will help you to rehome (find it a suitable, new home) it . It's possible that we will be able to take the puppy back here at our home but no refund will be provided. We will still place an ad on our website so prospective lookers will see it. If you find a home for your puppy we require you provide us with the new owner's information (you agree in the contract/guarantee to provide this information if such an instance arises). We do this because we like to keep in contact with our puppies and their owners to hear about their silly puppy antics and the joy they bring to their lives as well as providing lifetime support. Make sure you carefully screen the family and know that they will love and care for the puppy as much as you! We never want one of our puppies to end up in a shelter!

The new issue of Empire magazine, on sale this Thursday, features the usual deluge of movie world exclusives – among them, this never-before-seen look at Tom, in his forthcoming crime thriller American Made.
The new movie is a (relatively) smaller story about Barry Seal, a real-life unlikely drug smuggler working for the CIA, no world-invading aliens in sight. But as his director Doug Liman explains in the new Empire, despite a smaller scale than their last collaboration in Edge Of Tomorrow, this is no quiet affair.
"Neither Tom nor I were interested in making a dry biopic," says Liman. "Barry's second wife collaborated and opened her files, but we cherry-picked the details we liked; Tom and I wanted to create our own version of Barry Seal. For us it was how to tell the most exciting story."
Shooting the movie was a gonzo adventure in itself. Cruise is famed for his DIY stunts, and American Made offered him a rare chance to fly a plane solo on film for real. The idea gave producers heart palpitations, but Cruise and Liman got their way. "We had to go to some exotic locations in South America," chuckles Liman. "We flew three hours across uninhabited rainforest to a Colombian military airstrip at the edge of rebel-controlled territory. It was so remote that Tom and I slept in tents and foraged for wood to make camp fires at night."

After making her debut, and marrying Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible III, Michelle Monaghan's Julia Meade made a brief appearance at the end of Ghost Protocol but sat out Rogue Nation. Now, for the sixth instalment, she'll be back with hopefully more of a role.
Writer/director Christopher McQuarrie and Cruise have been hard at work on the new film, currently known as M:I-6. While the plot has yet to be revealed (we tried breaking into the storage facility, but our rope snapped), it'll see Hunt back in action alongside Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Faust, Simon Pegg's Benji Dunn, Ving Rhames' Luther Stickell and Alec Baldwin's Alan Hunley. New faces this time include Henry Cavill, Sian Brooke, Angela Bassett and Vanessa Kirby, with Sean Harris returning as villain Solomon Lane, this time securely (for how long?) imprisoned by the heroes.
Monaghan shared the news of her return on twitter, while McQuarrie posted the same image to Instagram.

Big Shock!, 2015-2016
Limited edition cans of Big Shock! have been produced in honour of the Trabant voyage across the Pacific led by Dan Přibáň. The adventurers' yellow sponsor did not take the easy way out with a Trabant on the can, but instead chose a unique design that stands out on shelves. That's how we feel cans of Big Shock! looked when they arrived at its destination with the adventurers. The cans appeal to fans of Big Shock! so much that they are asking for the same design for other flavours, too. The great idea and great design has also been acknowledged by the Art Directors Club with a bronze medal at the Czech Creative Awards.

WAUKESHA COUNTY — A 34-year-old man has been sentenced to prison — charged with felony child sexual exploitation.
34-year-old Jason Matter pleaded guilty to a felony charge of child sexual exploitation – produce, perform, etc. Three other charges were dismissed as a result of that plea deal.
Jason Matter was identified by police as a suspect during an investigation into Ethan Holt, accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old Waukesha girl on more than one occasion. Holt was sentenced to serve 15 years in prison, and 10 years extended supervision.
In court on Monday, December 7th, Matter was sentenced to serve five years in prison, and two years extended supervision.
He must register as a sex offender with the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry.
As for Holt — he was arrested on October 28th, 2014 after detectives with the Waukesha Police Department learned he allegedly communicated with, met and sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl who lives in Waukesha on more than one occasion.
Authorities say the suspect used social media smartphone apps to communicate with the victim. The apps used were: Tinder, KiK, text messaging, Whisper and Snapchat.
Waukesha police say the suspect "groomed" the victim and sent nude pictures to her through these apps.
Waukesha Police Sergeant Jerry Habanek said the girl and her parents contacted police — telling investigators that she and Holt had sex in his vehicle near the Waukesha Public Library after initially meeting online.
Prosecutors say the girl's photos showed her without clothing, and Holt's pictures displayed his genitals.
The document also indicates Holt asked the girl about being bisexual, and about having a threesome with one of her friends.
"Ethan Holt used the username, or profile named called 'probablyinthegym' to communicate with our victim. He also indicates in some of his chats with other people that he has done this before, that he has had sex with young victims before," said Habanek.
Sergeant Habanek said the girl told Holt that she was 13 years old and the complaint alleges he took to the internet to brag about "taking a 13-year-olds." It is believed that he was referring to the girl's virginity.
"The girl appeared that she was groomed to think that this was okay," said Habanek.
Matter will be in court on March 11th for a restitution hearing.

Trans people have a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered. This number goes up to 1 in 8 if they are a trans woman of color. 75% of us will be homeless at some point. Almost 1 in 2 attempt suicide. These are pretty insane statistics, right? But let's make it even more personal. What if I was murdered? What would you do if I was murdered?
And I don't mean this in the typical "make me feel better" way. I know a lot of you would show up at my funeral, I know people would miss me, I know my life has value. But that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking, what would you do after? Would it end at crying at my grave and reminiscing sometimes?
Would you sit at home and be sad? Would you send the murderer to jail and feel justice is served? Would you say "People are already talking about it" and stay at home?
Or would you fight? Would you speak out against this? Would you fight to change that statistic? Would you seek to end violence against trans people? Would you want to prevent other families and friends from knowing the pain?
I know you'd be sad, but would you fight for me? Would you talk about me and spread my story? Would you push for trans friendly culture and laws? Would you try to change the world to prevent this from happening again?
We have a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered. Just by the end of February this year Trans Women were murdered at a rate of one every week. And people sit back and think "Well others are talking about it" or "Murder is already illegal" or "It's not my place to talk about it."
We're dying! My sisters are being killed! My trans family is dying. And we don't take it sitting down. We do our best to speak out, we do our best to fight back, and we've been doing that for years and years. And we're still dying. We're still being kicked out of homes and fired and beaten and killed.
What would you do if I was murdered? If you would fight when it's too late… why not fight now before it's too late? If you would fight for me after I'm murdered, why not fight for me before it happens?
We're hurting. We're rejected. We're dying.

Could we be having another CAP in the UK? Last year a number of astronomers and science communicators met in Athens for the Communicating Astronomy to the Public Conference and a number of us decided that there should be a CAP 08 or CAP 09 at least. Sat round the dinner table in Athens a number of us drunkenly decide that we should hold it in South Africa.... or should I say the question arose over dinner and Kevin Govender (as usual) shouted Africa!
So now with a CAP 10 taking place in the evaluation year of the International Year of Astronomy in SA we have a rather large gap of events taking place where the participants in IYA 09 can get together and consolidate what we are planning and what we have so far accomplished. At the moment myself, Tracey Parker of Leicester University (Widening Participation and UK Space School), Rob Hill of NISO and Ian Robson and Steve Owens are looking at having a pre-meeting at the ASTRONET Symposium on the Wednesday afternoon, perhaps as a parallel session or a lunchtime meeting to discuss who would be interested in attending the conference and what kind of setup it should have. At the moment myself and Tracey are in favour of having a show and tell setup rather than just a series of 15 minute presentations. Its better to show people and talk about what you are up to rather than some of the types of presentations at CAP 07 where some of the speakers forgot they were meant to be science communicators.... enough said (some of those presentations were rather tedious!).
Universe Awareness is getting there, painfully slowly with development and coordiantion by myself for the UK and a number of internationally based colleagues who are all equally enthsiastic and equally nuts, in a nice way might I add. Hey, this is what makes the UNAWE community so unique, you have to have a sense of humour and an undying passion to foolow your new found friends to foreign lands to see what they are up to and participate in delivering their activities... at some point those piccies of me and Susan Murabana (Kenya - Global Hands on Universe) in front of the Pyramids will appear.
The Galileo Teacher Training Programme will be developed for both primary and secondary schools. I'll expand on this later in another post, I suppose one good thing about the Cosmic Diary project as a whole is the way that astronomers are portrayed to the general public. Right now I am rambling as I am extremely tired after spending 7 hours in the office building our website for Setpoint Greater Manchester www.stemsalford.org and organising filing cabinets for moving office. Oh, and also writing grant bids (which seems to be taking over my life at the moment but hey, someone has to do it!). Alex, my son is asleep now and I have spent some time today chatting to friends on Skype testing out our new webcam. I'm planning on going over to Italy next week to meet with Franco Paccini at Arcetri Observatory and take the aforementioned friends to see the observatory also and check out what Franco and Lara Albanese get up to with their education and outreach programme. They make these really amazing black silouhette puppets out of wood and card to teach the children in the region about astronomy and culture.

It is directed by Christopher Luscombe, designed by Janet Bird .
The fat knight Sir John Falstaff imagines that Mistress Ford and Mistress Page are both taken with him and so, attracted as much by their husbands' money as their personal charms, he decides to woo them both. But the women are up to the old lecher's tricks and turn the tables on him with a series of humiliating assignations, midnight terrors and a very damp, extremely smelly laundry basket.

Excellent turn out for Sundays ride. 17.01.2010
The snow had all but gone and the sun was shining, so this was the first 'real' sunday ride of 2010. Rusty chains had been oiled up and the new cycling Christmas presents along with a few extra kilos of festive indulgence were on show.
There was an excellent turn out for the ride across the Marsh to Brenzett, Appledore, Woodchurch and back and it was pariticularly encouraging to welcome 4 new riders to the club. 14 riders set off with the faster group, 9 with the intermediate and 4 with the leisure group. The return to the cafe was a little late following a few punctures, but there was enthusiastic talk of the year ahead and future events.
Any new riders out there are welcome to join us next sunday (or any sunday) at the Light Railway cafe in Hythe at 9am (or 10am for the leisure group).

The Heritage Rosarium: A Once-A-Year Experience
It takes an obsession to create a rose garden as glorious as the one Nick Weber has grown at his home in Ashton, Maryland. He calls it the "Heritage Rosarium," and it's filled with nearly 700 heirloom varieties of ramblers and climbers. Nick and his wife, Roseanne, open the Rosarium to the public only once a year on Memorial Day weekend.

- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and seeded
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup (approximately) freshly squeezed lime juice
Make the simple syrup: Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced to 1 cup. Let cool to room temperature. (Syrup can be made ahead and stored, refrigerated, in a tightly covered container.)
In a blender or food processor, process the avocados and milk to a perfectly smooth texture. Add the syrup and lime juice, starting with a little less than all of each and adding more to taste.
Freeze by manufacturer's directions for your ice-cream maker. Or to still-freeze, pour into a 1-quart container (preferably stainless steel), place in the freezer, and freeze for 2 hours. Remove and beat the mixture until it is a fine-textured slush, using a chilled rotary beater or hand-held electric mixer (with beaters chilled). The aim is to break up the ice crystals and aerate the mixture for a fluffier texture. Return to the freezer for 1 more hour; remove and beat in the same manner. Return to the freezer until ready to serve.

No, not Stilton on Cornflakes!!!
by cricketjeff on May 14, 2010. © Jeff Green, All rights reserved
But maybe I would charge a Sherman Tank.
You're all I need, you're all I want, so if you're feeling blue,
It's possible that I would rob a bank.
I love you more than strawberry fool and honeycomb ice-cream,
But if you want a vegan it's goodbye.
Each night I hit the pillows and you're starring in a dream,
For you I'd eat a veal and onion pie.
I'd climb the highest ladder, ride an insane motor bike,
But even you can't make me fight a bull.
I'd juggle red hot pokers, almost anything you'd like,
I'd eat another doughnut when I'm full.
I'd change the tie I'm wearing, I would even wear a hat,
But maybe not some loud Bermuda shorts.
I wouldn't lose the waistcoat, you are worth far more than that,
I would miss half an hour of foreign sports.
I love you but in loving I won't lose the whole of me,
I love you but I'm rather old and set,
I love you but I'm not a fool, life isn't poetry,
There's lots of me that you can't love I bet!

You may be familiar with skin conditions such as skin tags, cold sores and razor bumps but you may not have heard of syringoma. Syringoma are basically non-cancerous bumps that mostly occur under the eye, on the upper cheeks and other parts of the body.
These bumps are totally harmless. They will actually go away on their own even without treatment. For aesthetic reasons however, various treatment options can be sought. No specific age group or race is more predisposed to syringoma. They tend to occur more often in young adults just after puberty, however.
Syringoma bumps mainly occur in groups. They should not be confused with moles, warts, skin tags or even as one of the cold sores symptoms. There are photos online to illustrate all of these conditions, so you may want to check them out should doubt persist.
What is chondroid syringoma and its symptoms?
Before we get to the available treatment options, it is best that we first understand what syringoma is. Under the skin, one of the things to be found is sweat glands. These are the ones responsible for the production of sweat. It is around them that skin hair follicles originate.
In some cases, these sweat glands may multiply prolifically. This leads to the formation of bumps underneath the skin which will appear as skin lesions. They average at 1 to 3 millimeters and are flesh colored or yellow in appearance. They sometimes will occur in clusters especially on the stomach or the chest. No pain or itch is felt from these bumps. Basically, that is what syringoma is. You can browse through available online photos for better understanding.
There is also another rare condition known as chondroid syringoma. In this case, a tumor is formed from rapid multiplication of the epithelial cells. The condition is also benign. The problem is that tumors resulting from chondroid syringoma can develop to enormous sizes. In a certain study case, a tumor was found to have reached 15 cm in surface area.
The most common places that you will find syringoma are:
- Armpits
- Abdomen
- Chest
- Under eye
- Upper cheeks
- Genitals
- Forehead
Which is the best syringoma cream for treatment?
Unlike other skin disorders and home remedies such as castor oil for skin tags, over the counter and natural remedies are rarely used for syringoma treatment. In fact, it's hard to find a proven home remedy for syringoma removal.
Surgical removal of syringoma is mostly the only available option. However, not all people are open to the idea of surgical operations. In this case, a syringoma cream can be tried.
Syringoma can be treated with a cream effectively. The good thing is that you can actually buy such a cream over the counter and use it at you own convenience.
Some of the available creams contain ingredients such as lemon, cashew nuts and other herbal extracts. Rarely will you come across a cream specifically produced for syringoma removal. Most can also be used for other skin disorders such as red skin tags, moles, and non-genital warts.
The best approach is to go through the available reviews for the best syringoma cream. To start with, find more about Nevi Skin, Nevexen and Wart & Mole Vanish cream brands.
Syringoma treatment; how to get rid of syringoma
Most of the available syringoma treatment methods are likely to leave a scar. If you are concerned about such possibilities, you can leave the bumps to go away on their own. They are of no health concern. Here are the treatment options on how to cure syringoma:
Here, liquid nitrogen will be used to reduce blood flow in the bumps by killing blood vessels. Liquid nitrogen is an extremely cold substance. It is used in treating various skin inflammatory conditions. Although an anesthetic is not usually necessary, you doctor may decide to use it.
This treatment option involves burning the skin bumps with either heat or electricity. It is best done in a hospital although some kits are available that you can use. As mentioned earlier, scarring is likely to occur.
Cutting the bumps
A minor surgical operation can be done to remove the bumps. Here, a scalpel or a razor will be used to physically cut off the bumps. Like other treatment options in this list, surgical removal will leave a scar.
Carbon dioxide laser
This is a type of surgery that sees carbon dioxide injected in the prolific sweat gland cells. Depending on the depth of the surgery, it can cure syringoma. However, syringoma has been known to persist even after this surgery.
Rubbing off the lesions
Using a cream or medical equipment, the syringoma lesions can be physically rubbed off. This is not very effective in multiple syringoma.
You will certainly need to talk to your doctor about the best treatment option. Chances are that you will find a treatment procedure of more harm and expense than necessary. In any case, syringoma will not weaken your immune system or develop into cancer.
Causes and how to avoid syringoma
Learning the causes and how to avoid syringoma is a better long term treatment approach. Although the condition is basically caused by rapidly multiplying sweat gland cells, there are factors that can contribute to that. They include:
- Hereditary factors account for some syringoma cases.
- It has been estimated that 18% of all people with Down's syndrome will develop syringoma. Other disorders that may contribute to this include Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan's syndromes.
- Diabetes patients have more of a tendency to develope the condition than healthy individuals
- In Asians and African Americans, eruptive syringoma is more persistent and common, although, as mentioned earlier, syringoma can occur in anyone regardless of their race or age.
- Women have also been observed to be more likely to develop syringoma than men.
- Sweat glands that are too active may end up in syringoma.
- Hormonal changes that occur in puberty may cause the condition.
Diagnosis and Syringoma removal
A skin biopsy may be essential if a syringoma diagnosis is uncertain. This of course needs to be done by a doctor, so you will have to visit a clinic.
A skin biopsy involves:
- The infected part of the skin is numbed with an anesthesia.
- A sample piece from the skin will be removed. This can be done using a razor or a surgical scalpel. Depending on the procedure, a stitch may be necessary.
- The sample skin piece will be taken to the lab for a detailed examination under a microscope.
If syringoma is identified, you will have the option of leaving the bumps on their own or going forward with one of the syringoma removal options available.
Syringoma removal with a home remedy
To start with, it is important that you be aware that no home remedy has actually been proven to work in treating syringoma. The available ones are mostly more effective in removing skin tags, warts and moles. They include:
Lemon juice
Lemon juice is actually an ingredient present in some syringoma creams. It supposedly works by burning the syringoma bumps through its acidic properties. Since it is a vitamin C source, it can improve on the scar left behind after treatment.
Apple cider vinegar
This home remedy is popularly used in removing a wide range of skin disorders including razor bumps. It has both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. When applied on syringoma, the remedy corrodes syringoma bumps.
Aloe Vera
Both the natural gel gotten from the plant or over the counter processed gel should work. Apply it on the syringoma. It can also be used to treat a boil on neck or armpit.
Just as others in this list, garlic is effective in treating simple skin disorders but is not an official removal home remedy for syringoma. You can make a paste out of it or just rub it on the bumps several times a day.
Castor oil
Some online reviews claim that using castor oil with baking soda can help clear the skin of syringoma. A few drops added to baking soda are should be applied on the bumps twice a day for best results. Castor oil is also very effective when used to remove skin tags.
It may be hard to actually tell if the home remedy you are using has worked or has been no better than a placebo. So you may want to compare before and after results to determine the effectiveness of such a remedy.
How to avoid syringoma without removal
You can always avoid the need for clinical syringoma removal by learning how to avoid syringoma to begin with. Below are some helpful tips:
- Since diabetes patients have shown a tendency to develop syringoma, always ensure that you keep checking your blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
- Physical exercise will help you maintain good health, which is essential in normal operation of the body.
- Include healthy food products such as fruits and vegetables in your diet. You can also consider taking supplements that are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. By the same ticket, avoid drug abuse, especially smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
- Ensure that you maintain personal hygiene. Also, don't use untested skin products and creams.
- Lastly, don't disturb or pick at syringoma bumps.
Final thoughts
Syringoma is a totally harmless skin condition. It is common in both men and women, especially just after puberty. Syringoma bumps are common on upper cheeks and under the eyes though they can also appear on other body parts such as the chest.
Medical treatment, creams and unconfirmed home remedies are available for syringoma treatment. However, most of them are likely to leave scars once the bumps are gone. Depending on what you prefer, you may want to go ahead with removal or just let the syringoma heal on its own.
Professionals will always advise you to check with your doctor, even with symptoms such as a canker sore in the throat. The fact is that although most such simple symptoms will end up proving to be of no health concern, they are potential indications of serious underlying health conditions. Additionally, you may also be encouraged to take general clinical tests which are very important.

Edmund woke up to the massive form of Ung, staring down at him.
"Would the Master be wanting his breakfast?"
Edmund winced as he tried to move his stiff body, struggling against his creaking muscles. He glanced around, noticing that his partially digested dinner had vanished from the floor where he had left it. He sat up slowly with his back moaning in pain from remaining curled around his empty stomach all night.
Edmund had not slept well. He had awoken repeatedly during the night, the deafening chiming of the clock bell breaking him almost completely out of his dreams. Sometimes, in his half-woken state he had completely forgotten where he was, and wondered if all the strange and stern people standing on pillars had come to the orphanage to decide whether they wanted to adopt him as their child.
Several times he had considered looking for somewhere else to sleep, but he was frightened of getting lost in the labyrinthine halls of the mansion and there was no certainty he would escape the massive bell.
Edmund sat quietly before he realized Ung was still staring at him expectantly, waiting for an answer. He gave a timid nod and stretched as subtly as he could as Ung lumbered away.
For a moment, Edmund was terrified Ung would vanish and leave Edmund as lost as he was before. He felt a rush of blood to his face as he desperately tried to think of a proper way of drawing attention to himself. He never had to do so before and he didn't like the idea, but anything was better than staying trapped in the horrible maze of corridors.
"Uh," Edmund finally stammered, when Ung was half-way across the room. The massive man stopped and turned back, his face passive and unassuming. Edmund swallowed. "I'm lost," he finished, lamely.
"Would the Master like me to show him to his room?" Ung asked. Edmund nodded, and Ung held out his hand, pointing in the direction he was heading. Edmund stood, kicking the sleep out of his legs, and followed the lumbering form down the hallway.
"I will bring up the Master's breakfast immediately," Ung rumbled. "Matron has asked me to remind you that your cousins will be arriving before lunch. She has decided to allow you to have the morning to yourself before I will fetch you to help you dress appropriately to greet them."
"Dress appropriately?" Edmund asked. The idea sounded bizarre.
"Yes," Ung nodded slightly. "I would not presume to dress you for breakfast, since it is obvious you would rather have your meal alone. I will convey your sympathies to Matron."
"Is she expecting me?" Edmund felt his heart sink. He wasn't sure he could take take another meal with Matron just yet. Ung suddenly stopped and opened the door to Edmund's room, ushering him inside.
"Most likely Matron will be having her breakfast in her room as usual. I will convey your sympathies all the same. Matron cares very deeply about proper and polite behavior from her guests." Ung gave a small bow, almost hitting his head on the door frame. "I will be back with your breakfast soon, young Master," Ung said as he rose, closing the door in Edmund's face.
