Product Description
Extinct: An awareness poster that documents 641 North American species and subspecies driven to extinction since the year 1642. This is by no means the total number as on going research continues to document more, and species continue to to go extinct at an alarming rate. In the middle of the list of names is Cyclura onchiopsis known as the Navassa Island (Rock) Iguana. It is believed it went extinct during the mining period in the late 19th Century. Miners, freed slaves, were treated poorly. It's likely that ate the iguanas to extinction. The Navassa Island Iguana was originally believed to be a subspecies of Cyclura cornuta but has since be raised to full species status. The only known image of this iguana is a museum specimen.
The print size is 11 inches wide by 17 inches tall. Poster cost is $20.00 + $5.50 shipping (domestic) USPS. Print is sent in a sturdy mailing tube with tracking information (mailing costs increase is for the addition of tracking info due to previous posters lost in shipping). Multiple orders incur a slight shipping cost increase. Please contact us if you plan to order more than 3 posters.
Purchase of posters help support our conservation efforts.

Dan Sieg edit by Dan Foley
Media student Dan Foley put together this edit of Dan Sieg hitting up plywood and coping around North Carolina. I asked Dan one day at the skatepark if he had anything he wanted to film. He told me that he had a few things in mind, and asked if I'd be into filming enough for a small edit. After a couple sessions at Jaycee and the Unit, we had enough for just that.

Poonamalie Dam Upgrade Complete
Parks Canada announced this week that major repairs at Poonamalie Dam at Lock 32 have been complete.
The Poonamalie earth dam and weir restrain the waters of the Rideau Lakes and are essential to both public safety and water management downstream.
Work got underway in December of 2014. The height of the dam was increased and its structure stabilized along its 660m length. The work will significantly reduce water seepage through the dam so as to not risk to dam performance. Guard rails were also added to make the site safer.
More work is planned in coming years as part of a $103.3 million Parks Canada infrastructure initiative, to preserve and restore this historic earth dam.

see the second answer for this question https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/290391/how-to-get-a-user-name-in-watson-conversation.html it seems to be using a reference to a node in the JSON like %|225217980_1|% for example. Is it documented anywhere? I wasn' t aware of this notation.
Answer by Simon ODoherty (906) | May 22, 2017 at 10:21 AM
The node names are automatically generated. As @chughts says, you should not hard code pre-generated nodes.
You can however code your own node names. Either through the Workspace API, or by giving your node a title. Just don't duplicate names.
Answer by @chughts (12939) | May 22, 2017 at 04:53 AM
Hardcoding a dialog node's id in your code is not a good idea.
I agree it's a bad idea. However, that's not what I am asking. I'd like to know how that guy figured out that node IDs could be used and where that notation using %| |% came from, since I could not find any reference to it.

Seattle Mariners
Mariners notebook: Bad luck? Nasty funk? Lack of clutch hits adding up
There's often nothing so complicated as a simple truth.
Asked what his club must do to be more productive with runners in scoring position, Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon shot back: "Get more hits!"
True enough.
The Mariners remain mired in a season-long slump with runners in scoring position. Entering the weekend, their .222 batting average in such situations was better than only one American League club: Boston.
That played out too in Thursday's series opener, which the Red Sox won, 2-1, despite going 0 for 7 with RISP. The Mariners were 0 for 6 — and they want to believe their collective unclutchiness is merely cyclical.
"As a team, there's nothing you can do," second baseman Robinson Cano said. "Sometimes when there are men in scoring position, you hit a ball hard right at guys. You've just got to stay positive.
"Things like this happen. They happen to every team. You've just got to be ready for the next day. I see a lot of guys hitting balls good. All you can do is just keep swinging and just keep battling."
That includes Cano, who entered Friday 7 for 35 with RISP, a .200 average that is 84 points below his career mark.
"Sometimes," he said, "it's just bad luck. There's nothing you can do in that situation. All you can do is hit the ball. You can't hang your head."
McClendon continues to preach patience in the belief the law of averages will inevitably produce a turnaround.
"It happens to every team," he said, "and it's a nasty funk to be in. There's a positive and a negative to it. You're getting guys out there. The negative thing is we're not getting them in. It can be frustrating.
"It happens to every team, but when it happens to you, you take it personal."
Part of Brad Miller's new duties as a super utilityman involve occasional time at his old position.
Miller started Friday at shortstop when McClendon opted to rest Chris Taylor, who is batting .143 in eight games since his May 4 recall from Triple-A Tacoma.
"Just giving (Taylor) a day (off)," McClendon said. "His neck is a little stiff as well. He hasn't gotten off to a good start, but we know he's capable of doing better than what he's done to this point."
McClendon also chose to bench outfielder Dustin Ackley even though the Red Sox started a right-handed pitcher in Clay Buchholz. Justin Ruggiano started in center field; his first start since May 6.
While Ackley is batting .191, he had hits in five straight games before going 0 for 4 in Thursday's loss.
"Ackley just hasn't hit the ball the way he's capable of hitting it," McClendon said. "We're just trying something different. Seeing if some of these other guys can jump-start us at the bottom of the order, get us going."
Friday marked one week since the Mariners shut down former All-Star pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma from all throwing because of ongoing tightness in his strained back muscle.
Plans call for Iwakuma to be re-examined Monday in the hope that he can resume throwing within a week — but club officials are increasingly bracing for him to be sidelined for an extended period, perhaps until after the All-Star break in mid-July.
Iwakuma, 34, was 0-1 with a 6.61 ERA in three starts before suffering a strained right latissimus dorsi muscle in his day-after throwing program following an April 20 start.
Prior to this season, Iwakuma was 38-20 with a 3.07 ERA in three years since signing with the Mariners as a free agent after spending 11 seasons in Japan's Pacific League with Kintetsu and Rakuten.
Injured outfielder Austin Jackson tested his sprained right ankle in an early workout by running in the outfield. Jackson's workout included a series of starts/stops and direction changes.
Barring a setback, Jackson could depart on a minor league rehab assignment within the next few days. Jackson suffered the injury May 3 while running out a ground ball at Houston.
The Mariners and Red Sox will pay homage to the Negro Leagues by wearing 1946 replica uniforms Saturday as part of African American Heritage Night at Safeco Field.
Honorees include former NBA players Bill Russell and Fred Brown, singer Bill Withers, former King County executive Ron Sims, former Huskies football player George Fleming and business executive Art Harper.
The Mariners will wear the uniforms of the Seattle Steelheads, while the Red Sox will be dressed as the Boston Royal Giants.
There will be a tribute to Herb Simpson, who died in January at age 94. He was last known surviving member of the Steelheads.
First baseman D.J. Peterson, the organization's No. 2 prospect, shows some signs of heating up at Double-A Jackson after a slow start.
Peterson, 23, entered the weekend with a .302 average over his last 16 games while boosting his season mark to .236.
Even so, there are ongoing concerns.
Peterson has just one homer and six extra-base hits in 29 games for the Generals after delivering 31 homers and 63 extra-base hits last season in 123 games at High-A High Desert and Jackson.
He also has 30 strikeouts in 110 at-bats, including 20 in 63 at-bats over his 16-game surge.
It was 26 years ago Saturday — May 16, 1989 — that Ken Griffey Jr., serving as a pinch hitter for the first time in his career, hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning in a 6-5 victory over Milwaukee at the Kingdome.
A 19-year-old rookie, Griffey batted for Mickey Brantley against Bill Wegman with Darnell Coles at first base in a 4-4 game. Griffey drove the ball deep over the right-center field wall.
Griffey hit six of his 630 career homers in his 92 at-bats as a pinch-hitter in his 22-year career.
The Mariners and Red Sox continue their four-game series at 6:10 p.m. Saturday at Safeco Field. Right-hander Felix Hernandez (6-0, 1.85 ERA) will face Boston right-hander Rick Porcello (3-2, 4.50).
The game will be broadcast on Root Sports and 710-AM.

I live only once (in this world we know of, at least), and I want to look after myself.
Though unspoken, I know from some people's reactions that they think I harp a little too much on my diets when they learn I buy organic products, drink veggie juice in the morning, cook what people consider healthy meals regularly, seldom eat out, and if I do, only at 'good restaurants'. I even create my own facial cremes, make my own soap, shampoo, etc. The only thing I wouldn't probably produce would be toothpaste. I tried to make it once, but the taste of baking soda mixed with green Heilerde (healing clay?) was so disgusting that almost made me gag. The toothpaste ended up as cleaning paste for our indoor fountain.
Yes, yes, now you understand why I sometimes get this look of dismay from people over my healthy lifestyle. To stay healthy I am willing to go to the extremes.
I mentioned in my previous post Heimat? Wo bist Du? that my suffering from silent reflux changed my life ; If you have been suffering sickness as long as I have, you would understand my predicament. I had to choose either I resigned and accepted the situation as it was or tried to learn more about my body and found out more about the symptoms. I chose the second option, and was very grateful when I eventually found the right diagnosis myself and could name the disease that had caused me so much misery. Since then I have had the reflux under control, and enjoyed life more.
As a health conscious person, I dedicate a great deal of my time keeping myself and my husband healthy.
I have a juicer which I use on a daily basis. I juice mostly carrot, add some cucumber, sometimes red beet and bell pepper. After years of drinking veggie juice, I notice that the color of my palms has turned orange. One doctor asked me if I took Beta carotene supplements after looking at my palms.
|Notice the orange discoloration?
I learnt from wikipedia later that my condition is called 'hypercarotenemia' or carotenosis.
Though discoloration is considered harmless, I'd rather have a 'normal appearing human skin color', although that means I have to stop drinking carrot juice.
So when a friend told me about a new healthy diet 'Green Smoothies' I was very curious.
Maybe the newest diet craze is a solution to end my hypercarotenemia? Instead of having orange palms I would have green palms instead? Nah, I hope not. It seems that green smoothie is very good for your health. A nutritionist, Theodore Baroody, N.D., in his book "Alkalize or Die" says drinking or eating alkaline foods such as green vegetables can even help restore the pH balance and eliminate hurburn.
But what is green smoothie? From the info in the book and on the site by Victoria Boutenko I gather that green smoothie basically consists of (organic!)
- green leaves (spinach, black kale, mangold, etc),
- fruits (apple, berries, ripe banana, etc),
- herbs (parsley, coriander, mint, etc)
- liquid (water, juice).
40% of greens, 60% of fruits
You should not mix the leafy greens with starchy vegetables such as carrots, potato, etc.
Rotate your greens to get more balanced of minerals and vitamins and avoid a potential overdose of toxins in certain greens such as kale, spinach, parsley which contain oxalic acid.
There is also an interesting story in the book by Clent Manich who claims that green smoothie and raw diets have improved his health immensely and helped his body to restore itself. I have heard a lot about the advantages of adhering to raw food diet, so that news is nothing new to me.
However when Clent also elaborates that not only has he lost over 100 kilograms, beaten diabetes, but his bald patches is also disappeared AND his grey hair is replaced with new growth in its natural color, I was, like-'W-O-W! Now that is really something, THAT 'hairy' part is amazing, though it sounds too good to be true! It seems that it is time for me to turn into a chameleon, changing color from orange to green!'
So here I am, though not bald and thanks goodness, still having plenty of dark hair, am ready and excited to try the recipes and explore the wonders of the new diet.
If you google up 'green smoothies', you will find millions result which prove how popular this low fat diet is. People tell success stories of green smoothie's remarkable effects on their health.
However, before starting the diet and buying an expensive blender I think you'd better inform yourself on the side effects of drinking green smoothie to avoid any surprise or disappointment in case, for some reason or other- the diet doesn't work for you.
I get to go now, the leafy greens and fruits are waiting in the kitchen, shrieking and calling my name.
I will keep you posted on the experiment...!
And if you yourself are on this diet or you know somebody who has been living on raw diet, I'll be very interested to hear more about it!

Psychologists and psychiatrists both specialize in human behavior and mental conditions. The training for the two professions is different, however, and the two also work in slightly different fields. Both types of mental health practitioners play an important role in understanding how humans behave and interact with each other.
The primary difference between the two has to do with training. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor, meaning that he or she has gone to both undergraduate and medical school, and has followed with a professional residency in psychiatry. During the residency, the resident may choose a particular aspect to focus on, such as treating schizophrenia or depression. After qualifying as a doctor, a psychiatrist is able to prescribe medications and administer therapy such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as shock therapy. These doctors usually work with individual patients who need help.
A psychologist usually earns a doctoral degree, although a small number of careers are available in this field that only require a master's, such as an industrial-organizational psychologist. A person who wants to treat patients will need an advanced degree and additional training so he or she can become a clinical psychologist. A person in this profession can offer various types of therapy, depending on the training he or she has received.
There are, however, many different types of psychologists. Research psychologists work in laboratories and on field experiments to gain a deeper understanding of human behavior. Forensic psychologists lend their skills to the legal profession. Child psychologists and school counselors focus on working with children and young adults.
For patients, sometimes the primary difference between the two is a that a psychiatrist is able to prescribe psychotropic drugs. These doctors rarely rely on drugs alone for therapy and treatment, but drugs can sometimes be an important component of treatment for troubled patients. Often, a doctor also trains to offer a particular school of therapy to his or her patients, and may bring things like hypnotherapy, Jungian theory, and Gestalt therapy to the table.
A therapist or licensed clinical social worker may be a psychologist, but the terms are not interchangeable. The terms "therapist" or "counselor" are broad terms that may cover professionals with a variety of educational backgrounds. Although therapists cannot prescribe like an M.D. can, they usually have specialized training in treating patients and dealing with various situations. They also tend to be less expensive to see than psychiatrists, although not all insurance companies will cover visits to a therapist.
As with any medical professional, some research should be done before picking a mental health professional. Even if your doctor refers you to a specific practitioner, your therapy will not be productive if you do not feel comfortable with your provider. Take several sessions before making up your mind, but be aware of how you interact with the person, and decide whether or not you think you will work well together. Do not be afraid to ask for recommendations to other practitioners who can meet your specific needs; most mental health professionals want to see patients get better, regardless of who is treating them.

My wife has all the symptoms of Bipolar, and we have been seeing a psychologist to discuss the episodes that amount from her condition.
Should i be seeing a psychiatrist as well or instead of the psychologist?
She is taking anti depressants but is having manic episodes.

Mentirosa: thank you for your last post. I found it clear and extremely helpful.
Post 5
I would add that, in actual practice, a psychiatrist rarely does much "talk therapy" as compared to a clinical psychiatrist or counseling psychologist. In my experience as a counselor in a community mental health care setting, the psychiatrist does the initial assessment and the prescribing of meds, while the case managers and counselors do the rest.
This arrangement is typically due to Medicaid and insurance funding of fee for service practices, more than clinical efficacy, clinician preference, or what might be otherwise best for the client.
Post 4
Bhutan- I can answer that for you. Most psychiatrist earn about $150,000 to $250,000 a year.
It really depends on the area of specialty along with the geographic location of the psychiatrist.
For example a psychiatrist in New York City may earn substantially more than $250,000 a year.
Some psychiatrists choose to work with adult patients while others choose to work with children.
Those interested in becoming a child psychiatrist must complete a residency in pediatrics psychiatry and pass a medical board's license in child psychiatry specialization. This is how a child psychiatrist enters the profession.
Post 3
Oasis11- What is the average psychiatrist salary?
Post 2
Mentirosa- You're on the right track. The major difference between psychologist vs the psychiatrist is that the psychiatrist is a medical doctor that can prescribe medications for the various disorders in addition to offering therapeutic sessions.
The psychologist is limited to their therapy sessions only and cannot prescribe medication.
Also the requirements to become a psychiatrist are much more vigorous than becoming a psychologist.
Steps to becoming a psychiatrist include the completion of four years of medical school and an additional 4 to 5 years of specialty in psychiatry. The specialties may include a concentration in women's psychiatric disorders, anxiety disorders, neuropsychology, and pediatric psychiatry.
Post 1
I believe also that a psychologist walks a client through some of the more common issues of life, and guides her client to the answers and a better understanding of oneself. A good psychologist, after a certain period of time, maybe six month to a year, should not be needed any more. The problem is usually resolved, or at least better understood.
A psychiatrist would on the other hand deal with some illnesses, not just bumps on the road of life.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Sierra de Grazalema | Fuente: Texts: Andalucia.org. Photo: Patronato Provincial de Turismo (Mayca Gómez).
The Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park is identified as one of the most valuable ecological areas in the southern peninsula and therefore of great importance in the rest of the territory.
It is a biosphere reserve (Unesco) and special protection area for birds.
As a curiosity, it has the highest rate of rainfall in the Iberian Peninsula and constitutes the most important Western massif of the subbeticas ranges. Predominately steep villages, caves and grottoes and winding gorges. And it is noted for having an important forest of firs, considered a relic plant from the tertiary period.

(This is Part Three of Dr. Tim Ball's 3-part series, "Canadian Defense is Not Grounded in Reality." Parts One and Two are also available.)
Canada's geography dictated our history, so we developed world-class skills in transport and communication. Early development involved knowing and understanding the resource base of our nation. Likewise, Canada's future progress must rely upon precisely this kind of knowledge.
Prior to European incursion, aboriginal people were primarily hunter-gatherers whose intimate knowledge of the resource potential of plants and animals was passed on through the oral tradition. They traveled far and wide, as maps they drew for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) illustrate. For example, within two years of the HBC establishing the trading post at Churchill, aboriginal groups arrived from the Mackenzie Delta after traveling around the coast. They returned in the same year.
We keep hearing that humans are altering the world in negative, "unnatural" ways. This charge assumes humans are not natural, that they are not part of Darwin's evolutionary theory. (Ironically, people who fully support Darwin's theory are usually the ones who make the charge...) Humans making change is a perfectly natural occurance, but extremists argue that it is not. They constantly point to natural changes and claim such changes are in fact unnatural -- and caused by humans. Goethe provided the obvious answer: "The unnatural -- that too is natural."
Regardless, if the goal is to determine the extent of human impact on our surroundings, then it is necessary to know what conditions were like prior to human input. A determination is difficult, because although there are vast areas with very few humans, there are virtually none where we have a description of that landscape from even one hundred years ago.
In other words, we don't know how much or rapidly landscapes change without humans present, because there is no baseline for measurement.
In many areas such as Europe and Southeast Asia or eastern China, the landscape is so altered you can only determine the major features of mountains and plains. It is the difference between what German geographers called the Landschaft (the natural landscape) and the Kulturschaft (the human landscape).
However, Canada has a unique perspective on these matters, thanks to efforts of the Hudson's Bay Company. From the moment they landed, HBC employees were describing, measuring, mapping, and drawing, and all this data is stored in the HBC archives in Winnipeg. There are some 16,000 maps alone. Figure 1 shows a detail of the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers in Winnipeg:
(Fig. 1)
This archived material provides the best opportunity anywhere in the world to determine the natural landscape of a very large portion of the earth's surface (that is, at least two-thirds of Canada) prior to human intervention.
There are other opportunities to determine the extent of human-caused change: The HBC archives also house 250,000 photographs, going back to the late 19th century. HBC officers, like British military officers, were trained in basic artistry in order to create pre-photography records of their travels. As a result, they created hundreds of drawings and paintings.
Others, like Paul Kane, traveled from Toronto to the west coast in the 1840s, painting the landscape as he went. His stated objective was to provide a visual record so people in 100 and 200 years time could see the difference. John Palliser (1857) led a scientific expedition that provides invaluable information. William Hind (1862) made a trip similar to Kane's.
Water, rail and air provided access to most of the country and honed our transport and communication skills. The canoe and kayak are good examples of Canada's ability to develop vehicles suited to the country's conditions. The Canadian Pacific and Canadian National are among the best railway companies in the world, especially dealing with operating in extreme climates and from mountains to prairies. The Canadian Pacific railway archives in Montreal are another enormous potential source of pre-settlement landscapes.
Likewise, aircraft specifically designed for Canadian conditions have also been developed. Canada builds the best bush planes in the world, and to its credit, the military fly some of them. They need more.
We do not need an armed force, in the sense of fighter aircraft, large guns or fighting ships like destroyers. In fact, we do not need a traditional army, navy or air force. Who is going to attack us? A country that might attack will certainly have far greater forces than we can repel.
We need an adequately armed paramilitary force that would include the Coast Guard, as well as a greatly expanded transport command that includes the following aircraft:
Twin Otter
We should also add the CL215 -- among the best water bombers in the world, and essential to conserve our forests. It can also be used to haul water in regions of drought:
One of the several problems with the current British North America Act is distribution of powers involving the forests.
They are considered a resource, which puts them under provincial jurisdiction, which in turns makes forest fire fighting a provincial responsibility as well. However, the costs are such that only a couple of provinces can afford to maintain an adequate fleet.
Clearly, forest fire fighting is a function for a paramilitary force, especially since two of our provinces are in fact federally controlled territories; the Yukon and the Northwest Territories cover 1,657,446 km2. This area makes them the equivalent of the 17th largest country in the world. (Nunavut is not included for these purposes because it is beyond the tree line.)
They say an army marches on its belly, and indeed, nothing is more important than the supply lines. Our role in support of our allies must be to provide logistical support and communications, and we need equipment that can provide that in all terrains. (That equipment is described in Part Two of this series.)
We need to develop a drone program appropriate to our tasks. For example, drones can cover vast territory for search and rescue, safely and at reduced cost. We especially need a large drone for water bombing, to eliminate the need for risky manned flight during that particular activity.
One example of a Canadian role at home and overseas is the delivery of fresh water. It doesn't matter what the disaster is; ironically, even a flood, potable water is always desperately needed. We can store water in large quantities that can then be flown or shipped around the country or the world as required.
We could even dig covered trenches in the permafrost near Churchill and store tons of food frozen without any energy costs, ready for delivery wherever needed. Ben Berck, formerly at the Federal Department of Agriculture at the University of Manitoba, did research on this years ago. Churchill is ideal because of its over the pole access to Europe and Asia, and the very long runways that were built there during the Cold War.
We do not need antisubmarine aircraft. Nuclear submarines are virtually undetectable, and there is nothing we can do to stop them moving through our waters, so why bother? What we do need is an expanded Coast Guard that can interdict the smuggling of drugs and people. It should increase its ice breaking capacity, however, because the colder weather conditions expected in the next 40 years will make access in the north even more challenging.
We must fully integrate the aboriginal community into the plan of data collection, research, and conservation. They have the knowledge and awareness of the land necessary for protecting Canada's heritage. Who would make better conservation officers than the indigenous people of a region?
We should consider conscripting all young Canadians into the paramilitary force at age 18, to serve a year outside of their home province participating in projects such as: tree planting, habitat restoration, data collection, research projects, public education, field trips for schools and the public, assisting public and private research projects, interviewing and recording seniors' history of their region, building historic records of changing land use and ownership of a region, and assisting museums in extending their collections.
Unless there is a severe medical restriction, all young people should serve. We need to get away from the bizarre mentality of a traditional military that you select your fittest and most healthy to go out and die. It is not difficult to create positions and opportunities for all. A year of gaining perspective on themselves and their country would be repaid by better decisions about post-secondary education and career plans.
In short, Canada requires a different defense than most other countries.
It must define "defense" not just in the military sense but also as defending our environment. Canadians developed skills in transport and communications in response to our vast, diverse and sometimes difficult geography.
A paramilitary force with equipment suitable to those demands can allow us to fulfill commitments to military alliances by providing transport and communications. It will also be the basis of a qualified force to measure, understand, and preserve our vast, valuable legacy.

Engineering and Comparative Characteristics of Double Carbohydrate Binding Modules as a Strength Additive for Papermaking Applications
In this study, four engineered proteins containing two family 1 and/or family 3 carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) were constructed and expressed as soluble forms in Escherichia coli. Their binding performances and effect on paper's mechanical properties were comprehensively studied with the aim to design suitably engineered CBMs as novel biomaterials for use in the production of new cellulose materials. The recombinant engineered double CBMs exhibited obvious differences in their adsorption to different cellulosic substrates. The CBM3-GS-CBM3 was the most effective in enhancing paper mechanical properties in terms of folding endurance (27.4%) and tensile strength (15.5%) among the four engineered double CBMs, but it gave rise to only a slight increase in bursting strength (3.1%). On the other hand, CBM1-NL-CBM1 achieved a significant simultaneous increase in tensile strength (12.6%) and burst strength (8.8%), as well as folding endurance (16.7%). Unexpectedly, CBM3-GS-CBM1 and CBM3-NL-CBM1 had the lowest effective paper property improvement. The differences in types of CBMs and linker peptides in engineered double CBMs may contribute to the considerable differences in their cellulose binding and paper property modification.

La Voix Humaine (Up Close)/
La Voix Humaine - Week One
Hello there, I'm James and this is my first entry in a short weekly blog to document my involvement as the Trainee Assistant Director for OperaUpClose's production of La Voix Humaine - Cocteau's operatic adaptation of Poulenc's play of the same name. I have previously directed amateur productions, and performed in professional ones, but this is my first time behind the scenes in a professional operatic production - and what a fantastic opportunity it is!
My first love is classical theatre, and I don't really have more than a novice understanding of opera, but the piece is already looking and sounding great, and it's both humbling and inspiring to be around so many incredibly talented and dedicated people. The first meeting was a run of the show for the assembled crew and creatives. In traditional opera performances, the audience aren't usually as close to the action I was in our little rehearsal space, and sitting only an arm's length away from pianist, Richard Black, and performer, Sarah Minns, was quite unique - a dazzling experience for me.
The second rehearsal was quite different, but very productive, with a focus on R&D. Director Robin Norton-Hale, and myself, went through the chronology of the play and identified the facts established in the text. We had to do this to ensure that the production will be true to the author and composer's intentions, and that any creative decisions made are informed by the world established by Poulenc and Cocteau.
I came to the rehearsal with some contextual research on 1930s Paris, and, because of Robin Norton-Hale's unique take on the text - an exploration of LGBTQ relationship politics of the time. This is, perhaps, the most interesting thing about the early stages of this production - although the words remain the same as Poulenc's (excusing slight variants through translation), we are rehearsing this opera with a twist - the male lover on the end of the phone is actually a woman. Quite how much this will change the production remains to be seen. Regardless, I found the process of researching this subject very enjoyable and hope to have added some dramaturgical value to the rehearsal space.
It will also be useful for us to reflect our findings back onto our approach to the performance -helping the director and production team with ideas about how we might use scenography, staging, or lighting to establish a mood, time and place that would accurately reflect the world of 1930s Paris, the world of the apartment, and the world inside the leading lady's head. The fact that my ideas are accepted in the dramaturgical process is a testament to the inclusive work environment this incredibly experienced team have created.
However, the most eye-opening thing I learned today is that although an opera is sung, the backstory and characterisation is just as important as in my beloved classical theatre. The theatrical process we are going on is no different - the characters in an opera are as full and rounded as in any play. As my understanding and appreciation of this wonderful art form increases, I cannot wait to see how the research, the rehearsals, the design, and (most importantly, of course!) the direction begins to shape La Voix Humaine into the fantastic show I know it's going to be.
I look forward to letting you know more, next week.
La Voix Humaine will premiere at Kings Place on 2 July, for more details click here.

A Point of View: Hi-yo, silver screen
Can box-office bait Johnny Depp save the Western now he's signed up for a remake of The Lone Ranger? Or are the golden days of this genre long gone, asks historian David Cannadine.
It's recently been announced that a big screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger will be released in May next year, starring Armie Hammer in the title role, and Johnny Depp as his native American sidekick Tonto.
If this film finally sees the light of day, it will be a triumphant and unexpected outcome after what has euphemistically been described as a long development period.
The idea of making such a movie was first mooted 10 years ago by Columbia Pictures, and since then the project has been passed from studio to studio, screenwriter to screenwriter, and star to star, before ending up at Walt Disney.
Meanwhile, the budget has ballooned to a sum in excess of $200m (£126m), and there has been criticism that Johnny Depp, rather than a Native American, has been cast to play Tonto.
And if this isn't dispiriting enough, the precedents for such a venture are not encouraging. The last Lone Ranger film, made 30 years ago, was both a critical flop and a commercial disappointment, which hardly bodes well for the current enterprise.
How very different this seems from the days of my youth, when The Lone Ranger was a significant icon of American popular culture, and was compulsive television viewing on both sides of the Atlantic during the 1950s and the 60s.
Played by Clayton Moore, the masked Lone Ranger was the last survivor of a group of Texas Rangers; and, with his loyal companion Tonto, played by Jay Silverheels, he devoted his life to seeking truth and fighting injustice in the old American West, and also to preserving his own secret identity.
In these endeavours, the Lone Ranger invariably succeeded: every week, at the end of each episode, having righted wrongs and restored order, he would gallop off the screen on his white stallion, to the rousing finale of Rossini's William Tell Overture, shouting "Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!"
One of the beneficiaries of the Lone Ranger's good deeds would then inquire: "Who was that masked man, anyway?" - but no answer was ever forthcoming.
So close, indeed, was the association between the music and the man that David Frost once suggested the best definition of a cultivated person was someone who could listen to the William Tell Overture without immediately thinking of the Lone Ranger.
Despite its title, The Lone Ranger was far from being the only such show on British and American small screens from the 1950s to the early 70s; for these were the golden years of TV Westerns, poured out by Hollywood studios in seemingly limitless supply, and avidly acquired and repeated by the networks:
- For young children, there was Champion the Wonder Horse and Roy Rogers
- For those who wanted fact and fiction mixed up, there was The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp
- For those who liked the narrative literally to keep moving across the country, there was Wagon Train and Rawhide
- And for those who preferred their Westerns to be about a family, there was Bonanza
Yet these were but a small sample of the genre, which also included The Cisco Kid, Cheyenne, Hopalong Cassidy, Bronco, Laramie, The Range Rider, The Virginian, Gun Law and many more.
This glut of small-screen Westerns was accompanied by big-screen versions inaugurated by John Ford's classic Stagecoach, made in 1939. And once again, the 50s and 60s were a golden age, which saw the production of such movies as High Noon, The Magnificent Seven and How The West Was Won.
Like the TV shows proliferating at the same time, most of the big-screen Westerns were simple morality tales: there were the good guys, who were on the side of law and order, latter-day knights errant, who were brave and strong, and treated women with chivalry and courtesy; there were the bad guys who might be cattle thieves or murderers, or just drunks and gamblers.
And there were the Indians, as Native Americans were then called. They were usually depicted as illiterate savages, from whom the West had indeed to be "won", by driving them from their lands and their livelihood, and by killing as many of them as possible. And a few of them, like Tonto, had the wit to see the way the wind was blowing, and signed up with the all-conquering white man whose country the American West was fast becoming.
These Westerns didn't just appear out of nowhere. Some, The Lone Ranger included, had already been long-running radio shows in the US during the 30s and 40s, and before the talkies, there had been silent Westerns going back to The Great Train Robbery, released in 1903.
And there were many other ways in which the Western had earlier impinged on popular consciousness earlier in the 20th Century. Well before Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote Oklahoma, Puccini had composed a cowboy opera entitled The Girl of the Golden West, which had premiered in New York in 1910.
Before that, Theodore Roosevelt, who'd organised a voluntary cavalry known as the Rough Riders to fight in the Spanish-American War, had seemed the very essence of the cowboy as president, while Buffalo Bill's Wild West circus was enormously popular on both sides of the Atlantic as the late 19th Century morphed into the early 20th. Often featuring tableaux which set cowboys against Indians, his shows are widely regarded as beginning the whole Western tradition and aesthetic.
Drawing on such earlier precedents, the decades from the 1900s to the early 70s were truly the high noon of the American Western. The era of cowboys and buffalo herds, of wagon trains crossing the prairies, and of gold rushes and of wars against the Indians: all this was largely over by the end of the 19th Century, and it cannot be coincidence that in 1893, the historian Frederick Jackson Turner announced that the American frontier was now closed.
The real West, of hard, lawless, struggling life on the edge of existence was finished. With the frontier's closure, its transformation from fact to fiction was about to begin.
And so the Western was born: in the opera house and on the wireless, and later on the small and the big screen - and it was in full flower and abundant flow in the unprecedentedly affluent and television-viewing world in which I was lucky enough to grow up.
But it could not last; it didn't last. By the early 70s, most of the TV Westerns which I and my generation had watched had ceased production. One explanation may simply be that of boredom and overkill: there had been too many Westerns, they were too much alike, and many of them just weren't very good.
But it was also that the mood of the times was changing. In the troubled decades of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, the easy certainties of the cheerleading all-American Western seemed at best naive, at worst dishonest.
In the era of the civil rights movement, and at a time of growing racial awareness, the treatment of native Americans as sub-human savages or as self-interested collaborators no longer seemed right. And to a new generation of feminists, the depiction of women as either passive wives or active brothel-keepers was equally offensive.
The result was that by the 80s, the golden age of the Western was over, and it was small wonder that attempts to revive The Lone Ranger at that time failed to gain much traction.
Yet although conventional Westerns now seem politically incorrect and are no longer as popular as once they were, the appeal of the mythical West has remained a powerful force in American political life, almost down to our own time.
Ronald Reagan had appeared in Westerns during his years as a Hollywood actor, and as president he liked to be photographed riding a horse on his Californian ranch. George W Bush wore cowboy boots in the White House and, in the language of a Western wanted poster, determined in the aftermath of 9/11 to get Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive".
But even that presidential fashion, harking back to the world of Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, now seems distinctly on the wane. Whatever fate may befall the current attempt to rehabilitate The Lone Ranger, it's impossible to imagine Barack Obama, or even Mitt Romney, saddling up his horse and riding off into the sunset to the strains of the William Tell overture, shouting "High-Yo Silver! Away!"

E-Finds: Yeezy Season For Your Infant With Picasso Babe
I originally peeped this brand back in the spring whilst on an e-peruse session that I remember to be both productive and exhausting. Unfortunately, Picasso Babe got lost in the shuffle of my email reminders and never saw it's very on post.
Well, that ends today. Picasso Babe (yes, named after the Jay-Z song "Picasso Baby") is an Etsy retailer specializing in custom knit booties for your tiny human. The company offers a splendid catch, though: knitted booties made in the style of some of our favorite (and most overhyped) sneaker silhouettes. I don't about you, but I've tried buying shoes for my friend's newborn bambinos and it's a no go unless the kid is born wearing at least a 2 or 3.
The Spain-based Etsy shop had a solution for our sneaker obsessed culture (what a world the kids are born into, right?) and released a collection of hyped releases like the adidas Yeezy 750 Boost, Nike Air Yeezy II, and the Nike Air MAG.
After teaming with a big baller of internet pit-stops (hello, Highsnobiety) the folks at Picasso shifted their focus to sneaker classics including the Air Jordan 1, adidas Originals Superstar, Nike Air Force 1, Vans Sk8-Hi, Reebok Instapump Fury, PUMA Clyde and Converse Chuck Taylor All Star.
Now the Spanish baby bootie supplier has returned with a fresh new version to add to its collection for the smallest of sneakerheads: the Yeezy Boost 350. The sneaker's seamless upper and rubber sole are exchanged for a handmade crochet knit, fitting babies up to the age of 1 year.
I can think of a few new moms who would absolutely love these mini replicas! However, there's a catch. While these mini mocs are nearly as expensive as the real deal, they don't come baby cheap, either. If you're down to spend anywhere from $75 USD to $364 USD for the entire "West Pack", head over to the brand's online store to cop a pair.

Social Responsibility
The Idaho Dairymen's Association is committed to enhancing Idaho's workforce through training, development and economic sustainability. To that end, IDA works hard to establish educational opportunities for Idahoans, dairy families and agricultural workers.
Educating Idahoans

- Dairy Science Education Program/ Univ. of Idaho

Doing Well by Doing Good for Idaho's Immigrant Workers
The Idaho Dairymen's Association believes that one of its most impactful social initiatives revolves around promoting and protecting our state's talented and hard- working employees. Some of the most reliable dairy labor is foreign born, yet individuals who make up that population help our dairy industry succeed in the global market every day.
While immigration reform is often seen as a political issue, the Idaho Dairymen's Association sees it as a moral and business matter. IDA believes that it has a moral obligation to protect and promote our hard working dairy workers, no matter what their nationality. Immigration reform has thus become an important priority.
IDA works closely with other partners to pursue reasonable immigration reform:
- Idaho Business Coalition for Immigration Reform
- Agriculture Coalition for Immigration Reform
- National Immigration Forum
- National Milk Producers Federation's Immigration Task Force
Doing nothing limits our nation's economic potential, causes the labor force to live with threats of separation from families and deprives many in production agriculture a steady work force.
IDA will continue to work to develop functional immigration legislation that addresses secure borders, allows are current labor force to remain in the US legally, provides for earned citizenship and is flexible in addressing future foreign born labor needs.

An order of extinct bryozoans in the class Gymnolaemata.
an order of fossil Bryozoa. The colonies of Cryptostomata are small (up to 15 cm), predominantly reticular; more rarely, they are branching or lamellar. The calcareous skeleton is permeated by a system of capillaries. There are three suborders, comprising ten families (approximately 150 genera). Widely distributed from the Ordovician to the beginning of the Triassic, they lived in seas and participated in the formation of reefs. They have great stratigraphic significance.

This video explains the no load consumption and efficiency for ZMS100 power supplies
Open frame power supply manufacturers typically use a supplier such as Molex or JST for their input and output connectors. These connectors are low cost, readily available, reliable and easy to use. In addition, it makes it easier for the customer to second source a power supply, if required, when some standardisation exists.
Many power supply manufacturers will specify the mating connector series name in their product documentation, but will often leave it up to the user to determine the actual part numbers. This usually provokes a call to TDK-Lambda's Technical Support for a recommendation.
Why do we do this?
Let's take the industry standard low power 2×4" single output power supply. The Molex KK® 09-50-3041 housing is widely specified as the output mating connector. Made of nylon, it has a friction lock and 4 circuits; 2 for the + output and 2 for the – output.
When looking for the mating pin, one has to be a little more careful. The suggested pin for the connector is available in 2 materials; brass and phosphor bronze.
Brass is a common material for contacts and pins. It is low cost, has good conductivity and generally dependable in a benign, low temperature environment like an office.
Phosphor bronze, on the other hand, should be considered for more challenging environments.
At higher temperatures, brass contacts can lose their spring properties unlike phosphor bronze – if there is some vibration, this can cause reliability issues. Brass does have better conductivity, so check current rating capability.
Phosphor bronze is more expensive, 8p compared to 3p for brass (1000 piece pricing from a distributor). For a 2×4" power supply that could add 36p to the bill of material cost.
The user will have to consider the environment and desired field life.
As a note, on higher power 2×4″ open frame power supplies (~100W), there are alternatives to the single point of contact KK® style pins, such as those used with Molex's 09-50-1041 housing (SPOX™ series). These have multiple points of contact for lower resistance.
As Molex advised: "Different terminals have different performance and different characteristics."

NEW YORK — As icons go, few things communicate global menace more effectively than the stark silhouette of an AK-47. Designed more than six decades ago by Mikhail Kalashnikov, a former Soviet tank commander, the assault rifle boasts the dubious distinction of being the most abundant and reliable killing device in history.
"In much of the world they are everyman's gun," the New York Times foreign correspondent C.J. Chivers wrote in "The Gun," his 2010 social history of the AK-47 and its myriad knockoffs. "The Kalashnikov marks the guerilla, the terrorist, the child soldier, the dictator, and the thug — all of whom have found it to be a ready equalizer against morally or materially superior foes."
With such a reputation, the AK-47 would seem an unlikely raw material for art. But a slew of recent creative projects — like AKA Peace, a London charity auction of sculptures made from decommissioned rifles, and a Colombian musician's campaign to transform the guns into guitars — has helped to give objects designed for death a new lease on life.
The latest, and most precious, effort to fashion beauty from the barrel of a gun comes by way of the society jeweler James de Givenchy and his collaborators at Fonderie 47, a company in New York that uses mangled steel from weapons seized in African war zones to create jewels and rarefied objects.
Known as the Phoenix Collection, the pieces Mr. Givenchy has designed include a ring, bracelet, earrings, and a necklace, all crafted from the mottled steel of AK-47s, sustainably sourced 18-karat rose gold and conflict-free diamonds. There is also a one-of-a-kind, egg-shaped art object riveted with precisely 47 diamonds and balanced on a rose gold pedestal marked with fissures — "like the earth when it dries and cracks," Mr. Givenchy said.Continue reading the main story
Proceeds from sales of the jewels — which are sold for thousands of dollars at private events around the world — help finance a campaign managed by the Mines Advisory Group, an international humanitarian organization based in Britain, to destroy rifles in Africa.
Each purchase pays for the destruction of a specific number of weapons. The $240,000 necklace, for example, destroys 800 assault rifles, while the $90,000 bracelet rids Africa of 300.
The serial numbers of the destroyed firearms are passed along to the buyers of the jewelry. So far, the organization says it has destroyed more than 18,000 assault rifles in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
"It seemed pretty obvious that we could use the AK-47 to symbolize the disarmament process and to let people intellectually, emotionally and financially become owners of the disarmament process," said Peter Thum, a co-founder of Fonderie 47, which celebrates its first anniversary this month.
Mr. Thum, a social entrepreneur best known for founding Ethos Water, which was acquired by Starbucks in 2005, had spent years traveling to and from Africa, where he "met a lot of young men who were armed with guns," he recalled by phone recently. "I started thinking about the implications."
At a TED conference in March 2009 in Long Beach, California, Mr. Thum met John Zapolski, a management consultant who had been forced to cut a business trip to Tanzania short because of an encounter with armed locals. Struck by their shared concern over the ubiquity of assault rifles in Africa, they sequestered themselves two months later in an upstate New York cabin and brainstormed ideas for a venture aimed at reducing the continent's supply of weapons.
"I drew two circles on a chart," Mr. Thum said. "One represented a way of making people aware and the other circle represented the number of assault rifles in Africa. In the intersection was the conversion of the AK-47 into something."
That something, it soon became apparent, would have to be a consumer product that resonated with the lofty ideals that Mr. Thum and Mr. Zapolski held dear. "That led us to a question: What are things that inspire people and that we could turn AK-47s into?" Mr. Thum recalled.
In late 2009, the co-founders met with several watchmakers in Switzerland, and struck up an agreement with Roland Iten, a visionary designer of concept watches and other mechanical toys. "In parallel, we continued going back to Africa to find and destroy AK-47s," Mr. Thum said. From the rifles acquired through those visits, they gathered enough steel for a watch collection; however, the time required to produce a working timepiece argued in favor of starting with a jewelry line instead.
For its freshman effort, Fonderie 47 turned in 2011 to the New York jewelry designer Philip Crangi, in part because of his experience working with unconventional jewelry metals like iron and steel. Last fall, Mr. Crangi introduced a line of custom-made men's rings and earrings, all handcrafted from AK-47 steel, while Mr. Iten designed a limited series of men's cufflinks
Meanwhile, Mr. Thum had begun to consider Fonderie 47's next collaboration. Aware of Mr. Givenchy's reputation for designing inventive jewelry using offbeat materials, like ceramics and steel, Mr. Thum asked the designer, over lunch in February 2011, if he would be willing to consider working with the organization.
Mr. Givenchy ultimately said yes, but it took until this past summer for a design concept to take root. It happened one day as Mr. Givenchy, a passionate collector of esoteric treasures, including rare gemstones and oversize mineral specimens, stood in his library and glanced at an emu egg.
"The first thing that came to mind was rebirth and restarting," Mr. Givenchy said recently from his showroom, located high above Fifth Avenue. "And it just clicked. It's going to be the egg."
The egg motif, rendered in the blackened steel of old guns, appears throughout the collection, evoking both images of medieval weaponry and armor. The earrings, for example, feature a linear arrangement of white diamonds culminating in a diamond-studded egg, not unlike the spiked clubs of barbarians past.
Mr. Givenchy played up the dichotomy of danger and protection by inverting the diamonds that pierce each jewel like tiny, twinkling bullets.
"If you hold it, you can feel the spikes," Mr. Givenchy said, as he grasped the egg. "The idea is, you know it's not safe yet. We're going in the right direction, but we haven't reached our goal and there's a lot to do going forward."
A previous version of this article attributed a limited series of men's cufflinks made by Fonderie 47 to the designer Philip Crangi. The cufflinks were in fact designed by Roland Iten.

OK - folks - back with another nit... The "back to top" link works - BUT - it's only active (i.e. clickable with the associated action following) when the mouse-over hovers over the footer area of the page. I did a quick change of the z-depth (to -1) and nothing made a difference. Any thoughts on how to make the *entire* back-to-top icon hover-able/actionable? Thanks!

hi all, I have some trouble using PL5 on my site.
I used plugins for event calendar (event on) and plugin (timetable responsive scheduler for WP) for schedule (classes) in the gym.
The problem is, that post from this 2 plugins are shown without menu in header and footer. (I setup header and footer) in the page editor for all type of page.
When I create a lesson, it creates posts with slug (I have a slug "lekce" & event for events).
I try to edit the post with PL editor, but editor is not opening on the post.
Do you have some idea where should be some problem? Thanx so much.
here are links for the sites :

SEO has changed drastically from what it used to be once upon a time. It is just not the links and keywords fight anymore. Google has evolved as so has the techniques used for search engine optimization. Factors such as accessibility, crawling friendliness, data usage, page speed and many more are now playing a defining role in a website's ranking in the big search giant.
In this article, I'll be mentioning a few factors which are tested by SEO Vancouver and are showing great potential in defining site rankings. Guaranteed sure shot hit trends in 2016:
Content: The phrase "Content is King" could never be so true. The amount and type of content in your website plays a decisive role in the organic traffic. Google has ranked the content as the top parameter in site ranking mechanism. Not just the amount of content you put there is the only factor responsible for the ranking but factors like hierarchical content flow, uniqueness of the content, proper canonical attribution, how often is the change in published file is done, frequency of text change, discussion of narrow topics per webpage, grammatical correctness and, the age of content together decide the faith of your website.
User Experience: It is often said that google has now started taking the actual user experience into the consideration for the ranking system. This can go further in 2016 and Google can actually update its algorithm completely for the sake of real user experience data collection. This data will depict how user friendly your site is. After the analysis, it will be most probable that the sites having poor scope of user experience will lose their present ranking and the sites with much interactive user experience will get promotions. User experience can be analyzed in many manners. Is your site mobile friendly? If not, you'll be losing approx. 30-60% of the expected traffic (depending on the usability of your site). SEO Vancouver for mobile sites came out as a game-changer for marketers.
Text Optimization: Since we have seen the impact of content in google ranking, text optimization is the last thing you would like to forget. Factors such as placement of the relevant text, how engaging that is, size of the fonts, and usability of the text are responsible for properly optimizing the text in your website.
Social media Presence: It is not often discussed among the pool of marketers and SEO experts. How much are the dependent on each other and is there really a connection between the two are a couple of questions which are always discussed when it boils down to the ultimate business need. Digital marketing is a user centric approach to sell your products/services over the internet and social media presence is one of the important factors which decide how well you are doing in a competitive environment. Social media shares and mentions of your brand/product are a couple of tried and tested methods to get your organic ranking improved.
What we discussed above were few of the expected factors which will be proved essential in the coming year. SEO has changed its game and it is high time that marketers follow up the pattern and change their approach towards SEO.

Thanks. I already suggested finding an obedience course, and I may recommend more books.Really. This is insane. He's never had a dog, his family never had dogs, and he knows absolutely nothing at all about them. I went back to the very basic first step: how to pet your dog. (Crouch in front, hold out your hand, let the dog sniff you, then pet him). He didn't know that.A Shar Pei. Not a good dog for beginners.Bought over the internet. If I could reach through the monitor I'd strangle him. He has the qualities to be a great dog owner. He's friendly, gentle, kind, and patient. But buying a breed he doesn't know anything about. . .If I'd known about this earlier I'd have sat down and had a nice long talk with him about dog breeds. I'd have explained which dogs are good for beginners, how various breeds evolved, and many other things.But since the dog is ready to be shipped, the only thing I can do at this point is get him the knowledge he needs to work with the dog and overcome the lack of knowledge he has.To give an example, he asked about declawing the dog. He asked the BREEDER about declawing the dog. Any sane breeder, even one working through the internet, would have asked some hard questions about his dog knowledge. That she ignored the question sends a strong message about where her interest is.And yes, I explained about declawing; what is involved, and why some people declaw cats, and why dogs don't need it.Any more information is welcome.Nancycan you hear my head hitting the desk? Repeatedly?

My brother Adam and I once convinced our father to take us to the New York City premiere of Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982). At the end of the film, he said to us, "Jesus Christ, why didn't that guy just fucking kill himself?"
Not sure if my late father would have the same sentiment for the hero of Give My Regards of Broad Street (1984), Paul McCartney's own rock star "day in the life" comedy. It plays as an opposite to The Wall. Whereas poor Pink gets consumed by shallow nihilism, Paul is just shallow. Pink lost his working-class father in the war, Paul is an evergreen rich Brit fondly remembering dancehall days.
Someone stole Paul's master tapes! If they don't find it by the end of the movie, the record company goes under! But, it was just a dream (spoiler!), and Paul enters Abbey Road Studios. The end. Play the video game (shown after the break).
Co-host Carl points out Every Important Musician who shows up and jams with Macca and later we rate who is the biggest asshole from the Beatles. #3 might surprise you! (It's Paul.)

How To: Remove Foul Odors in Your Freezer
Removing Foul Freezer Odors
Foul odors permeating from your freezer can ruin any appetite and cause fresh foods to become infected with horrible scents. Such unpleasant odors in your freezer may be the result of decaying, spoiled, or improperly stored odoriferous foods and may be difficult to remove.
- To eliminate stubborn freezer odors first remove all food and items from your appliance.
- Gently wipe down all surfaces with a non-toxic household cleaner and allow the inside of your freezer to dry.
- Place a large, uncovered bowl of pure vanilla extract in your freezer.
Turn on the appliance and allow the vanilla to sit, undisturbed, for 2-3 days. Your freezer should now be fresh and ready for the storage of new foods.

Pin It Forward UK
I've been happily pinning away for a few years now and have found it so useful and such a source of inspiration. So when the Pinterest team asked if I'd like to contribute a post as part of the UK launch, Pin It Forward UK, I was very excited. For the month of May 300 UK bloggers will be sharing what Pinterest means to them and some of their favourite boards…
I've heard Pinterest often described as a 'virtual noticeboard' and while this is true it doesn't really do it justice. I see it more as a giant (free) online magazine where I can search for almost anything by what type of mood I'm in; recipe ideas, decorating tips, photography, children's crafts - all fronted with beautiful images and links to the source. For someone who used to tear pages and pages out of magazines for 'when I needed inspiring' it's been a blessing. I've also discovered some of my favourite blogs browsing Pinterest.
Once you have an account you can create 'boards' based on your interests. From there you can pin images you come across on Pinterest (a repin) or that you find elsewhere online. You can follow your friends or other pinners you come across that have the same interests as you – I like to follow some of my favourite magazines too.
Here are some of my boards:
You can spend a lot of time browsing Pinterest (A LOT) by using the categories or typing in what you are looking for. For example I recently decided to have a go at some homemade ice cream. I simply typed that into the search bar and was instantly inspired by pages of mouthwateringly beautiful recipes!
My favourite board has to be my Woolly Inspiration board where I pin everything (wool related) that I find inspiring. This may be crochet, knit or even pom poms. Sometimes I will just pin an image because I am drawn to certain colours and would like to remember them for future projects. I used to pin these mainly from my laptop but I've since downloaded the free app for my Ipad which makes browsing so much easier for me.
If you've not signed up already and would like to try registration is very simple you can join here.
If you are already on Pinterest you can find my boards here and, if you'd like, please feel free to share your username/links or your favourite pinners in the comments so I can see what inspires you too :)
Now I'm passing on to Deborah who blogs over at Metropolitan Mum - I love her 'Ice Cream and Pixie Dust' board.
If you are on Twitter you can also catch up on the previous Pin It Forward posts using the hashtag #pinitforwarduk
Bye for now. Em xx

Wow, can you actually crochet anything of the above yourself? I am a hopelessly uncrafty person - I am sure I'd manage to pick an eye out or two if I attempted to fiddle with needles ;-)
Thanks for the lovely introduction!
Deborah xx
LululovesThe crochet projects - yes, the knitted ones sadly not! Only one hook needed for crochet so half the potential for damage ;) Look forward to reading your post. Em xx
Lauren MichaelsThanks for participating in Pin It Forward, Emma! I'm glad to hear that you have discovered so many inspirations on Pinterest from recipes, decor, photography & more- it surely does fit all moods!:) I love your Wooly Inspiration board- the crocheted frames are amazing! Lauren, Community Coordinator
LululovesThanks for inviting me Lauren, I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts (and finding new boards to follow)! Em xx
I believe Pinterest is one of the best applications I found lately. You can combine beautiful things with something very useful…organization :) A thing we both love, isn't it?! :)
Oh, I forgot! You can find me here http://pinterest.com/anacbbatista/boards/
:) xx
LululovesDefinitely - anything that helps me organise myself in the slightest is a good thing! Em xx
I absolutley adore Pinterest. I thought myself to Crochet through the pins on there. It is my go to place for inspiration and patterns now!!!

Blood Relations

Published by NeWest Press Edmonton AB.
"Blood Relations and Other Plays" [email protected]
PDF Manuscript copy available on request [email protected]
Number of Acts: 2
Length: 110 mins
Total actors required: 7
Men: 3
Women: 4
On a hot muggy day 1892 in Fall River an unknown person took an axe and gave a number of whacks to Andrew Borden and his wife Abigail. Andrew's youngest daughter Lizzie was acquitted of the double murder but acquittal did nothing to dispel suspicions. Did she? Or didn't she? The question still reverberates.
It it 1902. While sister Emma sulks upstairs Miss Lizzie entertains an intimate actress friend from Boston, Nance O Neill. She playfully teases, tempts, goads, and challenges Miss Lizzie to reveal her guilt or innocence. Miss Lizzie dances around a direct answer but suggests a game in which the Actress will play Lizzie with background information Miss Lizzie provides and what the Actress may deduce from that information. Miss Lizzie will play Bridget the Maid who was with Lizzie in the house on the day the Bordens died. The game generates the entrance of other characters who played a pivotal role in the murders and trial. What begins as a game directed by Miss Lizzie gains momentum from the Actress interpretation of Lizzie's story. As Nance gains control of the game and the story a murderer is revealed but the question remains "Oh Lizzie, you didn't - did you?"
