The existence of "Il Gran Mogol" had been known about for nearly 300 years but the manuscript has only now been unearthed in the papers kept in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh. The piece, found by Andrew Woolley, a researcher from Southampton University in southern England, will now be performed for the first time in Perth, Scotland, in January. "This piece was previously known only from a mention in the sale catalogue of an 18th century Dutch bookseller. Discovering that it is actually in existence is unexpected and hugely exciting," Woolley said. He said it was one of a quartet and the remaining three concertos have yet to surface. The manuscript is believed to have been acquired by Lord Robert Kerr, a flute-playing Scottish nobleman, while visiting Europe in the early 1700s, and was found in papers owned by his descendants. Woolley said the work was missing a piece for second violin but he has reconstructed it using the manuscript of a later flute concerto that apparently reworked "Il Gran Mogol". Scottish Culture Minister Fiona Hyslop hailed the "remarkable" discovery, adding: "With no evidence that the piece has ever been played, I welcome the news that its premiere will be in Scotland."

Sharpie-doodle doo
Soooo these jeans are my own personal take on the printed denim trend. Me being me, I didn't really want to spend $200 on a pair of paisley printed denim not to mention the thought that someone else would have the exact same pair. Therefore I sulked a little bit and then came home and doodled henna tattoo designs all over a pair of faded skinny jeans. And after about ten minutes of furious drawing the result was this and I couldn't be happier. Not only that now a few girls have asked me to doodle their denim as well AND they are happy to pay me. Summer beach markets here I come with my own line of doodled-denim. Have a lovely day everyone!

New Method of Embolus Preparation for Standardized Embolic Stroke in Rabbits
Background and Purpose— Although thromboembolic stroke is caused by red, white, or mixed clots, the emboli previously used in animal studies on thrombolysis were more often red than white. Because this might be one of the reasons why thrombolysis is less effective in patients than in experimental stroke, we developed a new method of preparing highly standardized red and fibrin-rich white emboli.
Methods— The middle cerebral artery of 20 rabbits was embolized with either red or fibrin-rich white autologous emboli. Cerebral perfusion was monitored by MRI.
Results— Red emboli consisted of closely packed erythrocytes within a sparse fibrin net and white emboli of a dense mass of fibrin with only few other blood cells. Infarct volumes were 26±4% (mean±SD) of the ischemic hemisphere with red and 27±6% with white emboli. The relative regional cerebral blood volume dropped below 50% 90 minutes after vascular occlusion with either type of embolus. Late spontaneous lysis and hemorrhagic complications occurred in 37.5% of red but not in white embolus cases.
Conclusions— Emboli prepared by our technique result in standardized cerebral infarctions. Size and composition of the emboli continuously can be adjusted according to the experimental requirements.
Thromboembolic stroke models have been used extensively to study the effect of fibrinolytic agents on autologous arterial emboli, predominantly in rabbits. In the current models early treatment with tissue plasminogen activator, for instance, reduced the infarct size by approximately 60% to 77% compared with control values.1–3⇓⇓ Even if started as late as 3 hours after embolization, thrombolysis reduced the infarct size by nearly 30%.4 In contrast, plasminogen activators have proven to be considerably less effective in clinical trials.5–7⇓⇓ It is generally accepted that animal model systems do not directly relate to clinical trial outcomes because of a vast variety of pathophysiological and methodological reasons.8 However, the differences in the outcomes of experimental and clinical studies stress the necessity of searching for differences between the available models and the known human pathophysiology. In this context we want to draw attention to the fibrin content of the emboli used in animal models of thromboembolic stroke. In the current models, thrombosis was induced in polyethylene tubing or the auricular artery, resulting in red clots with a large proportion of closely packed erythrocytes. The parts of these clots that were supposed to serve as emboli were chosen by their gross appearance.2,3,9–12⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓ Thus, the composition of the emboli, in particular their fibrin content, was not known. In the human condition, thromboembolic stroke is caused not only by red clots but also by white clots. White clots were found "frequently" if stroke was caused by carotid artery thrombosis and in 36% of stroke patients with carotid artery occlusion of embolic origin.13–15⇓⇓ Red clots predominantly consist of erythrocytes, few thrombocytes, and some fibrin; white clots consist of fibrin, cellular debris, and platelets but only few red cells.16,17⇓ According to in vitro studies, fibrin-rich white thrombi retract more than red ones, which results in reduced permeability to bulk flow of thrombolytic agents through the clot, increased fibrin content per unit of clot volume, and decreased plasminogen content.18–20⇓⇓ Thus, the proportion of fibrin and erythrocytes within a thrombus may affect the efficacy of thrombolysis. We therefore developed a new technique for preparing autologous spherical emboli of standardized size and composition that can be adjusted without any intermittent steps to yield red emboli consisting of closely packed erythrocytes within a sparse fibrin net or to yield fibrin-rich white emboli consisting of a dense mass of fibrin but only few other admixed blood cells. We discuss the differences between red and fibrin-rich white emboli and their implications in embolic stroke as well as techniques to avoid the pitfalls of existing embolic stroke models.
Materials and Methods
Twenty-six male New Zealand White rabbits weighing 2 to 2.5 kg were used for randomized occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) with 2 either red or white spherical autologous emboli that were prepared approximately 20 hours previously. The red emboli had a diameter of 1.02 to 1.07 mm and the white emboli a diameter of 0.70 to 0.75 mm. The experiments were approved by the local animal research committee.
Preparation of Emboli
The day before embolization, 8.5 mL of blood was taken from the rabbit's auricular artery with a CPDA1 Monovette tube, which contained trinatriumcitrate as anticoagulant (Sarstedt). After centrifugation at 130g for 30 minutes, platelet-enriched plasma (PRP) was pipetted into a separate tube. The concentration of thrombocytes was determined with a CELL-DYN 1700 device (Abbott Laboratories), and fibrinogen was determined according to Clauss21 with an STA Compact (Roche). The blood was centrifuged for another 10 minutes at 1400g to obtain cell-free plasma. PRP, cell-free plasma, and whole blood were mixed to form a standardized plasma with a platelet concentration of 400 to 500×103/μL and a hematocrit of 0.5%. To obtain fibrin-rich white emboli, the standardized plasma and a thrombin solution (3 mg/1 mL 0.9% NaCl; 50 NIH U/mg; Merck KGaA) were each filled into a 1-mL syringe that was connected to a 23-gauge needle. With 2 infusion pumps (Harvard Apparatus syringe infusion pump 22), 5.3 μL standardized plasma and 1.3 μL thrombin solution were ejected and combined into 1 drop that was transferred to another needle, where it retracted to form a fibrin-rich white embolus within the next 15 minutes. Meanwhile, additional drops of standardized plasma and thrombin solution were made and transferred to needles. The retracted emboli were stored in a thrombin solution (1.5 mg/1 mL 0.9% NaCl) for approximately 20 hours at room temperature. For red emboli, 2 μL whole blood and 0.5 μL thrombin solution (3 mg/1 mL 0.9% NaCl) were used after the hematocrit level in whole blood had been regulated to 30% by addition of PRP. Red emboli were transferred into a thrombin solution (1.5 mg/1 mL 0.9% NaCl) after approximately 10 minutes and stored for approximately 20 hours at room temperature.
One hour before embolization of the MCA, emboli were washed in 0.9% saline, and their form and size were checked under a microscope.
Histopathology of Emboli
Approximately 24 and 48 hours after their preparation, emboli were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and cut into 4-μm sections. Routine staining was performed with the use of hematoxylin and eosin and the Masson Goldner stain.
Animal Model
The rabbits were premedicated with an intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg atropine and anesthetized with 3.5% halothane in 70% N2O and 30% O2 with the use of a face mask. Anesthesia was maintained with 2% halothane in 70% N2O and 30% O2 and with a single intramuscular injection of ketamine (60 mg/kg body wt; Ketamin; Wirtschaftsgenossenschaft deutscher Tierärzte eG) during transport from the angiography unit to the MRI scanner.
After arteriotomy, a 4F sheath was placed into the left femoral artery. Under angiography (Integris; Philips Medical Systems), a Fas Tracker-18 MX catheter (Boston Scientific Cork Ltd) was advanced into the proximal part of the right internal carotid artery (ICA). Two red or white emboli were injected slowly and simultaneously into the ICA with 1 mL 0.9% saline over 3 to 5 minutes. Complete proximal occlusion of the MCA was verified by digital subtraction angiography. Blood gases, blood glucose, and blood pressure were monitored before and after embolization.
Measurements of Cerebral Perfusion and Infarct Volume
Perfusion-weighted cranial MRI (Biospec 2.3 T; Bruker Elektronik GmbH) was performed every 30 minutes for a period of 4 hours after embolization. With a field of view of 80 mm and a matrix size of 64×128, the in-plane spatial resolution was 1.25 mm per pixel. The temporal resolution was 0.8 seconds per image. The cerebral perfusion was determined within regions of interest that were placed in the ischemic cortex and the corresponding area of the nonischemic hemisphere. For perfusion imaging, 0.75 mmol gadodiamide (Omniscan, Nycomed Arzneimittel GmbH) was used to avoid transient drops in blood pressure that are known from other contrast agents.
The animals were killed with carbon dioxide 14 hours after embolization. The brains were removed immediately and cut into coronal sections with a thickness of 2 mm. The slices were stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC; Sigma-Aldrich), fixed in 4% formalin, and photographed with a digital camera. The areas of infarction and of both hemispheres were measured with an image analyzer (NIH Image 1.61). The infarcted areas were corrected for brain edema by multiplying them by the ratio of the total area of the nonischemic hemisphere to that of the ischemic hemisphere at each section level.22 The infarct volume was calculated as the sum of the corrected areas multiplied by the slice thickness. Outcome measurements were performed by personnel blinded to the experimental groups.
For statistical analysis we used the nonparametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Four of the 26 animals used in this study had a duplication of the MCA, 1 developed vasospasms during angiography, and 1 died before embolization. These 6 animals were excluded from the study. Nine rabbits were embolized with red emboli. This caused an intracerebral and a subarachnoid hemorrhage in 1 rabbit, which was then excluded from further analysis. Eleven rabbits were embolized with white emboli. One of these rabbits was excluded because the emboli occluded the distal part of the ICA. In 2 other rabbits a TTC stain could not be made because 1 rabbit died within 4 hours after embolization and 1 was found dead in its cage. Thus, 8 rabbits remained in each group for statistical analysis.
The content of fibrinogen and the cell counts of standardized plasma and whole blood did not differ between the 2 experimental groups (Table). The physiological parameters after embolization were normal except for a mild respiratory acidosis (Table).
During preparation, both types of emboli retracted to their final size within approximately 3 hours, and the volume of the red emboli retracted 7.8 times less than that of the white emboli. This retraction factor was derived by dividing the ratio of the volumes of the white emboli before and after retraction by the corresponding ratio of red emboli. Approximately 25% of the prepared emboli had the size and shape that were required for the experiments. Red emboli were soft and had a total volume of 1.19±0.06 mm3 (mean±SEM), whereas the white emboli were rigid and had a total volume of 0.40±0.01 mm3. Microscopic examination of red emboli (Figure 1A) revealed closely packed erythrocytes within a sparse fibrin net, some of them having a pale appearance due to release of hemoglobin from lysed red blood cells. The white emboli (Figure 1B) consisted of a dense fibrin network with only few blood cells. Despite the use of the PRP, no intact platelets could be distinguished 24 hours after embolus preparation. There were no histological differences between emboli that were 24 or 48 hours old.
Angiography verified complete and proximal occlusion of the MCA in all animals of both groups (Figure 2). The incidence of thrombolysis was higher for red than for white emboli. At autopsy, red emboli were found in only 5 of 8 rabbits, although angiography had verified complete and proximal occlusion of the MCA right after embolization in all these animals. With white emboli, occlusion of the MCA was permanent in all rabbits. Red emboli were found in the proximal part of the MCA in 3 and in the distal part in 2 cases. With white emboli, autopsy revealed a proximal occlusion in 3 and a distal occlusion in 5 rabbits. Fragments in a downstream location were found with neither red nor white emboli. Although the length of the vascular occlusion was not measured, it appeared to be longer with red than with white emboli. However, perfusion-weighted MRI did not show any differences in the perfusion deficits between the 2 experimental groups during the first 4 hours of vascular occlusion, nor did it show signs of reperfusion of the ischemic area. The normalized first moment of the signal-time curve, which is closely related to the mean transit time of the contrast agent through the brain parenchyma, was significantly reduced 30 minutes after vascular occlusion (P=0.004 for red and P=0.008 for white emboli [P<0.01 is highly significant]). The relative regional cerebral blood volume decreased below 50% 90 minutes after embolization (P=0.008 for red and P=0.004 for white emboli [P<0.01 is highly significant]). In both groups, the normalized first moment increased and the relative regional cerebral blood volume decreased until 240 minutes after embolization. All animals of both groups developed a cortical infarction in the territory of the MCA. Infarction size was 26±4% of the ischemic hemisphere with red emboli and 27±6% with white emboli. The risk of hemorrhagic complications was higher for infarctions due to red emboli than for those due to white ones: in 2 of the 3 rabbits in which lysis of red emboli occurred, the cerebral infarction was hemorrhagic, and an additional intracerebral hemorrhage had developed in 1 of these 2. A third hemorrhagic infarction was found in a rabbit with permanent occlusion of the MCA with red emboli. None of the infarctions due to white emboli was hemorrhagic or showed an intracerebral hemorrhage.
In the vast majority of patients, arterial thrombosis occurs in atherosclerotic arteries and is related to impaired endothelium or ruptured atherosclerotic plaque. The composition of the thrombi depends on local flow disturbances, direction of the rupture of an atheromatous lesion, systemic thrombotic propensity, and many other factors.16,23,24⇓⇓ Some thrombi are homogeneous, whereas others consist of different distinct portions or are laminated depending on whether their growth is constant or episodic. White thrombi consist of varying amounts of cellular debris, platelets, and fibrin but only few red cells. Fibrin clots, which contain some white and red blood cells but no platelets and thus are similar to the white fibrin-rich emboli used in this study, can be found in the small cerebral arteries of approximately one third of patients with recent embolic infarcts. Red thrombi contain fewer massed platelets and fibrin but more red cells.14,16,17⇓⇓ The proportion of erythrocytes within a clot determines the size of the pores between its fibrin fibers20 and thus may influence thrombolysis, which is dependent on the flow of the fibrinolytic agent through the thrombus.19 This hypothesis is furthermore supported by the observation that erythrocytes are released from thrombi during fibrinolysis.17 The retraction of fibrin-rich white clots is purported to hinder fibrinolysis because of reduced permeability to bulk flow, increased fibrin content per unit of clot volume, and extrusion of plasminogen during clot retraction.18 Because the proportion of erythrocytes and fibrin within thromboembolic material seems to be one of the factors that determine the outcome of thrombolysis, we designed a model with which the composition and size of the emboli can be adjusted continuously within a wide range by varying the volumes of whole blood and platelet-enriched plasma used.
The uniformity of the emboli was ensured by standardizing the plasma, the whole blood, and the thrombin solution, by measuring the volume of each component with infusion pumps, and by checking the form and diameter of the emboli with a microscope. The histological uniformity of the emboli was demonstrated with photomicrographs. Red emboli were very similar to the stagnation thrombi found in patients. Our fibrin-rich white emboli differed from stratified thrombus in that erythrocytes were not arranged in layers but were distributed homogeneously. However, we believe that this is a minor drawback compared with the reproducibility of size and high fibrin content of these emboli. The response to fibrinolysis should be determined by the high proportion of fibrin rather than by the physical distribution of the few admixed red blood cells. That we could not differentiate platelets in our emboli despite the use of PRP is in accordance with the observation that platelets disintegrate and fuse when they occur as small aggregates within a retracting fibrin net.25 We accepted the drawback that the red emboli mimic clots of venous rather than arterial origin, whereas the white emboli consist mainly of fibrin, to compare the properties of emboli with distinct differences in the proportion of these 2 components.
It became evident that the ratio of plasma and erythrocytes determines the softness and size of a thrombus, which increase with the number of erythrocytes and decrease with an increasing proportion of fibrin. Soft red emboli lodged much deeper into the vascular tree than rigid white emboli of the same size. Reproducible MCA occlusion, therefore, required different sizes of red and fibrin-rich white emboli. The ratio of the volumes of both types of emboli could not be reduced further than 3:1 because 2 red emboli of a lesser size did not reliably occlude the MCA, and 1 animal had to be excluded from the study because white emboli had lodged in the distal ICA. According to these findings, it is unlikely that an ICA occlusion in patients is due to red emboli unless a high-grade stenosis already exists. This is consistent with the finding that complete thrombotic ICA or coronary artery occlusion that is based on an atherosclerotic stenosis often involves an extensive stagnation thrombus that develops in the low-flow state.13,26⇓
Because reperfusion was excluded by MRI during the first 4 hours after embolization, the lysis of red emboli must have occurred afterward. It was probably a spontaneous systemic thrombolysis because, in vitro, the red emboli were stable for at least 48 hours. The high proportion and density of fibrin and a low plasminogen content18 may have been the reasons why the white emboli did not lyse.
With our model, the length and the location of the occlusion can be varied. The occlusion can easily be lengthened by increasing the number of emboli that are reduced in size, but since the model was designed for studies on thrombolysis, this was not desirable. The approach to embolize the bifurcation of the ICA has 2 drawbacks: because the diameter of the anterior cerebral artery is smaller than that of the MCA and the ICA, complete occlusion of the bifurcation is difficult to achieve, and reperfusion via the anterior cerebral artery commonly occurs. Second, it is not advisable to embolize the distal part of the ICA because such occlusions result in large infarctions that include the basal ganglia so that rabbits often die within the first 6 hours after the onset of infarction. Therefore, we decided to embolize the proximal part of the MCA so that possible proximal branches of the vessel are occluded as well and fluctuation of the infarct size is minimized. Because this approach requires emboli with a highly standardized diameter that exactly match the size of the proximal MCA (this applies in particular to rigid white emboli), we had to abandon the traditional way of producing emboli in polyethylene tubing or the rabbit's auricular artery.
It is a common problem of animal models for embolic stroke that the emboli occlude vessels contralateral to the side of the injection. Our angiograms revealed that the circle of Willis in rabbits is predominantly supplied by the basilar artery and that the ICAs are relatively small. When contrast medium was injected into the ICA, the anterior parts of the circle were enhanced first, but retrograde flow of most of the bolus through the posterior communicating artery and the basilar artery occurred immediately afterward. Therefore, we did not use >2 emboli and injected them very slowly and simultaneously to prevent retrograde loss through the posterior communicating artery.
Because the angiography and MRI units were in different places, anesthesia had to be maintained with ketamine during animal transport. Although ketamine is a known N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist that delays ischemic neuronal damage, its effects on the results of this study can be disregarded: all animals received the same dose, and the neuroprotective effect of the drug targeted predominantly selected regions of the hippocampus, which are relatively small compared with the size of the infarctions.
In summary, we have developed a new method of embolus preparation for standardized embolic stroke in rabbits. Size and composition of these autologous emboli are highly reproducible and can be adjusted without any intermittent steps according to the experimental requirements. This model is the basis for experiments to determine differences in the efficacy of thrombolysis of various types of vasoocclusive material, depending on the content of fibrin and erythrocytes.

The Scarlets inside back reckons having James Hook in their ranks is a huge advantage, and Shingler has relished the chance to link up with the 75-times capped playmaker.
"I'm hoping James Hook will have a few tricks and out the backdoor passes up his sleeve," said Shingler.
"It is difficult as the two sides have the same calls set-up so we have been trying to change a few names as communication is a massive part of rugby and calling plays Jamie (Roberts) and Jon (Davies) know about would be tricky.
"But hopefully a few off-the-cuff moves can test them. That is what Neil Jenkins has told us - back your ability and pull out all the stops."
The 22-year-old will be hoping to put on a show that catches the eye of the Wales coaches and earn himself a call-up to Wales' two-Test tour of South Africa.
Shingler realises that he has an outside-chance of making the trip after an injury hit season at the Scarlets, but he insists the best way to boost his own hopes is by ensuring the Possibles band together quickly and cause a shock at the Liberty Stadium.
"It is about the collective. If we perform well as a unit then that will bring the best out of us," added Shingler.
"If Hooky plays well it will help me, and if I am putting Cory (Allen) in holes it will reflect well on me. We have to play as a unit or we will get torn to pieces. The team comes first."
Wales' first senior trial for 14 years has caught the imagination of the Welsh public and is expected to be sold out by the 8pm kick-off at Swansea's Liberty Stadium tomorrow night.?

Steven Moffat wasn't a writer I associated with Doctor Who. I enjoyed Coupling, but I couldn't quite grasp how writing a sit-com about the lives and loves of four friends qualified you to write an episode of Doctor Who. That said, Russell Davies' previous writing credits don't exactly scream "TIMELORD!" Despite my concerns, Moffat's two parter from last season ("The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances") are possibly my favourite episodes from Eccleston's stay in the Tardis. They're unsettling and edgy, even for an adult audience, and the performances and effects are superb across the board.
"The Girl in the Fireplace," Moffat's only episode this season, is every bit as good as his last two episodes but in a totally different way. The whole episode is one lovely juxtaposition of science fiction and period drama; taking place in both eighteenth century France and several thousand years in the future. The concept is one which is so genuinely baffling that it shouldn't work. The two time periods are so diametrically opposed that any attempt at blending them should result in an unwatchable episode. And yet this is such a compelling hour of television.
The responsibility for the success of TGITF lies with three people. The first is Moffat; without his script, concept, and skill as a writer this episode would be a confusing, laughable mess. David Tennant and Sophia Myles complete the trio. Myles is delightful as Madame Du Pompadour, conveying every emotion with enthralling conviction. The chemistry between Myles and Tennant is electric, although this should come as no surprise – back in the real world, the two are apparently engaged. Speaking of Tennant: He has arrived! Finally I am totally convinced by his portrayal of The Doctor. I have no complaints with this episode at all; he owns the role here and I can only hope that he's equally superb in future episodes.
Mickey and Rose don't get a great deal to do here, but as a result this is the first episode where I don't really mind Mickey. Their fire-extinguisher/rifles appear to be silver painted rolls of cardboard, and surely qualify as some of the worst props yet seen in new Who?
The villains of the piece are a strange mix of good and bad. Beyond the first appearance, they aren't the scariest of Who creatures, although I suspect anyone with a fear of clowns will be terrified. They are well conceived though, and when their mask is removed, the work of the design team is a wonder to behold. Where can I get one of those mechanical heads?
None of the above matters though, really. This episode is purely about Tennant and Myles; The Doctor and the woman who, for the briefest of moments, he is in love with. I can forgive the episode its somewhat indulgent use of The Doctor's new-found Vulcan mind-meld technique (a trick which I don't think we've seen before) as it is so well executed. It even has a fantastic punch line, which is timed to perfection and allowed to simply float past the viewer without the heavy-handed "look how clever we are" finger waving that would usually accompany an ending like this.
This is my favourite episode of the season so far, and possibly my favourite episode of the last two seasons. Next week: Cybermen!

"Oh Hae-young, Again"
Special commentary
MC: Hello. I am Shin Young-il.
Welcome to the Highlight Commentary on tvn's new TV series on Mondays and Tuesdays, "Oh Hae-young, Again". We have the three main protagonists of the series with us here. Hello, everyone.
Actors: Hello
MC: Could you each please introduce the character you play?
Eric: I play, Park Do-gyeong, a sound director who's caught between the two Oh Hae-youngs. He can also see the future.

Hye-bin: I am the other Oh Hae-young, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. We share the same name but not the same luck
MC: So there is two Oh Hye-young. That's why it is "Oh Hye-young, Again."
Hyun-jin: It's a romantic comedy about mistaken identities.
Did I sound like I memorized that?
The story starts with a misunderstanding.
What I felt during filming was that
it's a story where everyone's an undeserving victim.
Everyone's pitiable and their lives get all entangled together.
MC: Could you compose a three-line poem with the lines starting with Oh, Hae and Young?
Let's start with Seo Hyun-jin. Oh!
Hyun-jin: Oh, it's all a misunderstanding.
MC: Oh, it's all a misunderstanding. Hae!
Hyun-jin: Hae-young is my name.
MC: Young.
Hyun-jin: Young anin (Far from appealing) Hae-young I am.
MC: You put some thought to your poem! You prepared it in advance!
MC: Next, Eric is up. He must be feeling the pressure.
Will his poem be better?
Eric: Oh Hae-young is..
MC: Hae
Eric: Hae-young is.
MC: Young
Eric: Young-guk saram (a British person).
Hye-bin: Come on.
Do the last line over again.
Hyun-jin: Cut. NG.
MC: Young.
Eric: I can only think of Young-guk(Britain). Younghwagwan(theater), she went to.
Hye-bin: Where can I go from here? There's no way of salvaging this.
MC: It's up to you now, Jeon Hae-bin.
How are you going to save the day?
Hye-bin: My poem will be about people's reaction to "Oh Hae-young, Again."
MC: People's reaction to "Oh Hae-young, Again." Oh!
Hye-bin: Ohhhhhh!
MC: Hae!
Hye-bin: Hehhhh…
Caption: Hah hah hah hah
MC: Young
Hye-bin: Yooooooung.
Hyun-jin: Good save.
Hye-bin: Oh yeah.
Eric: We'll go with this poem.
MC: Hehhh… What's that?
Hye-bin: You know, like the Japanese exclamation, 'ehhhh'?
MC: So you are even thinking of exporting to Japan.
Hye-bin: That's right.
MC: Your poems were all quite impressive but a bit lacking in information. Let's try to add some more content. Oh!
Hyun-jin: Oh-weol (May) 2nd.
MC: Hae.
Eric: Hae-yo(It's on.)
MC: Young
Hye-bin: Younghwa(Movies) have nothing on this TV drama.
MC: "Oh Hae-young, Again." It's awesome.
Caption: Everyone is pleased with their poem.
MC: So, let's take a look at some hightlight scenes from the show.
Caption: Highlight scene from "Oh Hae-young, Again"
MC: The first scene is an action scene.
Man: It only took 2 weeks to film the movie. Why is the sound part taking over a month?
Hye-bin: They learned the foley technique to actually do the foley process in the scene.
MC: Eric actually learned the technique?
Hyun-jin: Not Eric. The other actors. Eric just gave orders.
Caption: Perfectionist sound director, Park Do-gyeong.
Hyun-jin: Cut!
MC: Cut! and a blow.
Hye-bin: This is where the symptoms start.
MC: He's starting to see things, right?
Hye-bin: He's seeing the future.
MC: His eyes look different. He's seeing something. Park somewhere else?
Hyun-jin: How did you film that scene?
Eric: We actually dropped a real signboard.
MC: So a real signboard was dropped on a real car?
Eric: That's right. After dropping the signboard, there was broken glass powder everywhere in the air.
MC: That's not a scene you can afford to retake. How did you manage to succeed in a single try?
Eric: First: we tied the signboard up and shot the actors first.
After we shot everything, we shot the signboard dropping.
The sound was much louder than I'd thought. I wondered whether I should have made my reaction bigger but by then it was too late to change anything.
MC: What's your opinion on your reaction now?
Eric: I think it was appropriate.
Caption: Hah hah hah hah hah
MC: Eric Moon, the actor, is satisfied with his acting
Hye-bin: This is the first scene Seo Hyun-jin appears in.
MC: Let's take a look.
Caption: This man's secret super-power.
MC: This man's secret is his super-power.
Man: Our daughter Oh Hae-young's wedding scheduled for today has been cancelled.
MC: How could you look so cheerful in such a situation.
Hyun-jin: You've missed it. My lips are smiling but my eyes aren't. I'm forcing myself to smile. My eyes were actually crying but I guess it doesn't show.
MC: That's what it was?
Hyun-jin: My eyes are crying but my lips are smiling. But I guess it wasn't obvious enough.
MC: No, I think I see it now.
Hyun-jin: Why did it stop there?
MC: Wow. That's some editing.
Hyun-jin: I didn't know my skirt was raised that high up.
MC: Our editor always fails to find the right scenes but I think he did this in purpose. This was intentional.
Hyun-jin: Oh my god.
Hye-bin: You have a clear view of her behind.
Hyun-jin: I wasn't aware of this during the shooting. I did feel cool for some reason.
MC: You must have felt quite cool.
Hyun-jin: I'm so embarrassed. Please move on to the next scene.
MC: That scene is a keeper. It seems Seo Hyun-jin is in charge of the slap-stick department here.
Hye-bin: That's right.
Hyun-jin: She's the pretty one and I'm the ugly one.
Eric: She looks and acts like a cartoon character.
Hyun-jin: Is that a compliment or an insult?
Eric: It's a compliment.
Hye-bin: What's that? What did you throw?
Eric: Is that meat?
Hyun-bin: That was beef feet.
Caption: Crazy woman Oh Hae-young
MC: Beef feet.
Hyun-jin: I threw it like I meant to kill someone with it.
MC: You're a bad daughter to your parents.
Hye-bin: No, she's not.
MC: She's not?
Hye-bin: There's a story behind this.
The plain Oh Hae-young was left by her fiancé just before the wedding. He told her he hated even the sight of her eating. But her parents don't know about this. So it's a heart-breaking situation for her.
MC: This story is getting even more interesting. These people know how to get you hooked. I can't wait to watch the show. Were you trained to do this? Let's continue.
Is this when they were students?
Hye-bin: Again, I'm the pretty Oh Hae-young.
MC: The popular girl.
Hye-bin: Yes, I was popular even back in school.
Hyun-jin: My character felt envious of her even back then.
Hyun-jin: She was the pretty girl.
MC: You look lovely.
Hyun-jin: They helped me look lovely on camera.
Eric: That's where we will hold our fan event.
MC: You're holding a fan event at the shooting location if your viewing rate surpasses 3%, right?
Hye-bin: We're going to serve tofu.
MC: I see.
Caption: Tofu? Hah hah hah.
MC: What's this scene? Oh my.
Hye-bin: It's a bed scene.
MC: Is that all to the bed scene? Or is there more?
Hye-bin: There's a bit more. This was actually my first bed scene ever.
MC: You can't see the faces clearly.
Hye-bin: That's me.
Hyun-jin: I went to the shooting a bit early because I wanted to see the bed scene. But by the time I got there
the shooting was over. I was very disappointed.
MC: Why did you want to see it?
Hye-bin: You're strange.
Hyun-jin: Wouldn't you want to see one? I did. I was very curious.
Hye-bin: I actually really like this scene. I was really moved by this scene. All women have cried like that once in their life.
Hyun-jin: When they were shooting this scene, our director asked me if I'd ever cried out loud like this. I said of course and asked him if he'd never cried like this before. He answered no.
Hye-bin: This is how you cry when there's no one and your heart is broken to pieces.
Hyun-jin: It comes from your guts.
Caption: Ummm..
MC: What went through your mind when you shot that scene?
Hyun-jin: That's a secret.
Caption: Hah hah hah hah hah
MC: Give us at least a hint. Was it something from your past?
Hyun-jin: I can't say.
MC: Was it that big of a deal?
Hyun-jin: It was.
Caption: Clap!
Hyun-jin: Actually no.
I don't remember what I was thinking.
Hye-bin: I think a lot of female viewers will see their own faces overlapping with Seo Hyun-jin's face in this scene. It's a really powerful scene.
There's a lot of handsomeness in this scene.
MC: Yes. Handsomeness full on.
Caption: Handsomeness Handsomeness
Hye-bin: So handsome.
MC: Yes. It's there.
Oh, you can't take your eyes off of it.
Do you work out regularly and is this how your body looks all the time? Or was this a rushed effort?
Eric: It was a rushed effort.
The proper way to build your body would have taken much longer.
Hyun-jin: He's serious.
He's very serious.
Eric: I'm supposed to be a sound director so I thought I shouldn't have a perfectly chiseled body.
Hye-bin: Is that really the reason?
Caption: Hah hah hah hah hah
MC: Ye Ji-won's character is also quite something.
Eric: I love that posture. It's like a cartoon.
Hyun-jin: I just pass through in this scene.
Caption: The beginning of all misunderstanding.
Oh Hae-young is back "again."
MC: Wow, all the men are going crazy when Jeon Hye-bin appears.
Hye-bin: Who acts like that in an elevator? But this is a drama character so please understand.
MC: Let's stop here. This is the taekwondo scene you were telling me about before.
Hyun-jin: All the moves and kicks were choreographed by Ye Ji-won. The scene with the water bottle kick was also choreographed by her. She held the bottle, kicked the bottle and basically did the scene all by herself.
MC: Was the scene dangerous to shoot?
Hyun-jin: No. She was very accurate with her kick so the shooting was finished in one try.
MC: It was all done in the first try?
Hyun-jin: Yes.
MC: That's amazing.
Eric: I love this dance.
Hye-bin: I love this scene. Everyone loves this scene.
MC: What is the dance supposed to mean?
Hyun-jin: It's a desperate situation. We're dancing to save our lives.
MC: Is that what it is?
Hyun-jin: Doesn't it look like that?
MC: I can see the dance is done in desperation. Was the character supposed to be drunk when dancing?
Hyun-jin: No, she's quite fine.
MC: She's fine?
Hyun-jin: She's really dancing to save herself.
Hye-bin: It's her last attempt to feel alive.
The funny thing is her mom approaches her to scold her but ends up dancing together with her.
MC: It looks like a variation of the Gaedari Dance.
Why is the mother dancing with her?
Hye-bin: She empathized with her daughter.
MC: What's your take on the highlight scenes?
Hye-bin: I think this drama will help people get over their Monday blues. You should definitely see it before going to bed.
MC: Okay. All three of you are convincing but I think Jeon Hye-bin is the most convincing. She must have gotten special training from the PR department. She's going a great job.
Caption: Feeling proud
MC: What was the scene that stayed in your head for the longest time after shooting it?
Hye-bin: I did a kiss scene with Eric recently. He was very nervous. So I took the lead and did a good job.
Eric: I always listen to women.
Hye-bin: He was a good follower.
Eric: The first scene Hye-bin had to shoot was the bed scene and the second scene was the kiss scene. I just did as she told me.
Hye-bin: As I told you.
Hyun-jin: How sweet it must have been.
MC: I hear you are disappointed you don't have a kiss scene yet. Will you get one before the show's over?
Hyun-jin: I'll get one just before I die of old age.
MC: So there will be one later? I'll be looking forward to it.
Let's finish with our commentary. Can you leave our viewers with a last comment?
Eric: We will do our best to make a good show. We hope to present our show soon. Thank you.
Hyun-bin: We've got a great script and we're paying attention to details. I hope you enjoy our drama.
Hye-bin: I hope you enjoy "Oh Hae-young, Again" which will make you feel refreshed in this lovely spring season.
The drama will start soon. We are doing our best to present a great show. I hope everyone enjoys it.
MC: This wraps up our commentary with the three main protagonists. The first episode of "Oh Hae-young, Again" will be on May 2nd, Monday night 11pm. We hope you enjoy the show.

The Second Reform Act, although effectively a Liberal measure, is expediently passed by the Conservatives, under Disraeli's influence, who believed it would widen Conservative appeal by making the party appear more progressive. The Act extended the vote to 1.5 million working men in British towns, and redistributed 52 seats from towns with populations under 10,000 to the newer urban towns.Art and science

Product Notes
My name is Guster Baines and I met Joe Kubiski a few years ago at the 25th anniversary of Woodstock. I first saw him play on Friday night after Arlo Guthrie and it was awesome how the audience of about 7,000 fans was fired up by his song Freedom Ride. Everybody was singing after the first chorus and it was clear to me then that his songs had a real groovy feel about them. Well it's been 11 years since the 25th anniversary and finally Joe has decided to record and release his first album with the help of Producer Bill Davis and an incredible group of musicians from NEPA. The Grain was founded in January of 2005 by Joe Kubiski of Wilkes Barre and Tony Blue from Baltimore, Maryland. Joe met Tony while jamming with Charlie's Stupid Band in a Wilkes Barre jam room in 2004. Tony and Joe had gone through many auditions with drummers, guitar players and keyboard players before The Grain was born. The first member of the band was Bob Scorey who had just returned from London and was on his way to LA when he and Joe ran into each other at a local club after The Greg Allman concert. They scheduled some time to jam in the future and that's when Bob mentioned a friend of his named Jesse Ruppert and asked Joe if he could sit in. Naturally without hesitation Joe and Tony would never pass up an opportunity to jam with someone. We met at a rehearsal room in Wilkes Barre on an unseasonably warm January evening with a twelve pack and an unsure expectation of what was about to happen. It didn't take long to realize that these two musicians were the guys we had been looking for. The magic didn't stop there, it had continued with the arrival of our percussionist Jason Stefanski a life long friend of Bob and Jesse. The band rehearsed, recorded and finished the album in just under 3 months. The band started getting a little nervous when they could not find the right keyboard player who fit into the mix until a hot July night presented one of the grooviest dudes in the band. Fares Houssein has brought a cool vibe to the band with his always-happy attitude and musical perspective to our classic sound. 'The Grain' is the band to see this year and the album is a must have for your collection. Stay connected and plugged in as this band begins an incredible journey. 'MOMENT TO MOMENT, DELICATE TO PASIONATE, A WORK OF OUTSTANDING BEAUTY. ONE OF THE BEST DISCS I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF RECIEVING THIS YEAR.' Mike Naydock WKAB 103.5 fm.

Air plants are an interesting and unusual variety of plant in the bromeliad family, which includes the pineapple. Unlike mistletoe or moss, air plants are not parasites; and although they have roots, the roots are used for anchoring rather than for getting their nutrients from the host plant. Air plants, commonly called Tillandsia, get all of their water and nutrient requirements from absorption through their leaves, not their roots, so they can literally grow just about anywhere you can imagine, as long as their feet aren't in water. Air plants can be grown indoors or outdoors, and mounted to almost anything, as long as attention to some basic care is followed.
Things You'll Need
- Air plant
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Non-copper wire
- Mist sprayer
Remove all dead, dry or brown leaves from your air plant. Cut back any dead or brown tips until all that is left is healthy green growth.
Trim back any unsightly roots from your air plant.
Cut a length of wire that will wrap around the roots and the mounting board you've chosen. Loosely wrap the wire around the air plant stems, taking care not to wind too tightly. Wrap the wire around the mounting board until secure, but not cutting into the plant stems.
Plug in the hot glue gun and allow it to heat up. When hot, place a large dab of hot glue inside or on the object you want to mount your air plant on. Press the root ends of the air plant into the hot glue and hold firmly until the glue cools.
Mist your air plant lightly every couple of days, taking care not to over-water.
Tips & Warnings
- Air plants like to be lightly misted but do not like to be wet.
- Air plants can also be dry-planted by placing stems in a container or vase and filling with kitty litter.
- Roots can be cut off of air plants if they are unsightly; the plants use the roots only to anchor themselves, and they will grow back quickly.
- Do not locate your air plant where misting will cause water damage.
- Do not plant your air plant anywhere their roots will sit in water, as they will rot and die.
- Do not use copper wire to attach air plants to anything, as copper will kill the plants, and do not attach air plants to pressure-treated wood, as it contains copper.

Miktek C5
- Description
The Miktek C5 pencil condenser provides discerning engineers with a valuable new tool for the critical recording of acoustic instruments. The C5, fitted with our MK5a, 0.5-inch cardioid capsule, produces a super-linear, full-bodied response. The capsule employs a 5-micron tensioned Mylar diaphragm, on which a 0.5-micron layer of evaporated gold is applied. Tight tolerances and special attention to precise machining of the back-plate, and acoustical porting, produces an off-axis response that ensures the accuracy of the microphone.
The C5's head amplifier has been designed around the AMI T5 transformer and, together with the implementation of high quality components including hand-selected transistors, offers a sweet response reminiscent of the iconic classic mics of the past. The Miktek C5 is perfect for recording acoustic instruments including violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, brass, woodwind, and piano. The C5 produces excellent results on drums as overheads or hi-hat mics.
The Miktek C5 is hand built using components from the US, Europe and Asia, and is tested and packaged in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Each microphone includes its serialized frequency response graph created during final testing.
The C5 is available as a single instrument packaged with a mic clip and wooden presentation box, or as a matched pair packaged with two clips in a wooden box and set inside an aluminum case. Matched-pair accessories include two shock mounts, windscreens and a stereo bar.

Our Story So Far
If you're a long time reader, you know what a Woot-Off means. It's time for our semi-regular recap! Last time was about a month ago, and we'd like to think you've read every word since.
But, just in case, let's cover some of the high points, okay?
Jake's been pretty busy this month, starting with a song. He's also been feeling rather creative, drawing an imaginary map of a world where he's more important than his older sister, and telling a story where he's wiser than his younger sister.
But Ella's not so foolish in real life. She's talking a lot more and proving her genius even if her mother can't always understand.
But she does have her dad's taste in music, which is something Uncle Alex found out the hard way when he tried to teach her about dubstep. Don't feel so bad for the guy, though, he had his moment in the sun when he made fun of his buddy Ricky earlier that week.
Of course, you'd know all this and more if you were reading along, right? You'd know about Gavin's guardian angel and Jessica's nightmare and even Olivia's Halloween ghost story experience. Our advice is that you should consider this your jumping-on point, and catch up now so you're ahead of us next time.
