Hi how are ya?I'm new here and as of 3 days i'm new to the FoT Editor.At first i thought it was gonna be too hard but now i've done some reading and experimenting and ive found a way to talk to a lot of people.sorta free style.the idea is that you have a bunch of notes in your inventory.then when you want to talk to someone you barter with them and give them a note, like one that's called 'Say Hi'.Through scripting, and use of custom speech files, you can then make them reply appropriately.The only limits are 1)you have to be able to barter with whoever you want to 'talk' to, which doesnt really matter, since otherwise they're prolly enemies and you just kill them.2)The more different notes you would script, the more work of custom speech, scripting, etc.3)in custom maps, if you make a lot of different player indexes, and want to talk to all of them, thats gonna cost you more scripting work.on the upside, the more player indexes you use will cause less actors to respond together.for the truckload of scripting i think if you simply copy the first set of scripts and adjust them, there would be less work.They also give the note back to the player, so you dont have to barter back for it or anything.The only problem i can think of is that you _will_ break the script if you do it with your own campaign char, which is a bummer(because theres no way to tag name him i think?).Also, is it right when i think that what i write in the box 'event' and 'default event', is used for the condition 'Speech Occured'?this could help in more scripts.
So anyway, i'm looking for anyone willing to reply to my crazy rant, and until then ill write down my script so i can put it up here(if i get a reply :p)

The only problem I see with it is that you can't say specific things to specific NPCs - all your general dialog options would have to be on the notes.

well yeah but the scripts use simple vars so you could set things to trigger when you've spoken to people (edit:you can use conditions for specific npcs) more then once, or if you said both hi and how are you, or any combo, and they would give you a quest or something.for instance an npc that if you talk to him more and more his replies become more aggressive and if you keep pissing him off he will go hostile.or some sort of slavemaster who doesnt like you talking to his slaves.Also ive thought about asking like, what have you been doing?and, what are you going to do?in which cases you could make it reply accurately if you set it up.like if it patrols, it responds with 'walking a damn patrol' its quite a bit of work but the more work you put in it the more dialogue paths you get.you could even ask something like, have you made a frag yet?to which they could respond, again, with help of more conditions, to like, 'not yet', or 'just got me one the other day' or even 'hell, im the master fragger!' if they made a lot of kills.
oh well if no one thinks its worth the work then i'll just use it myself, i dont mind the work
edit2: i dont really see your point about not being able to say specific things to specific npc's.what would you like to say then?something quest related?if so then its only a matter of making the note and copying/editing the triggers.takes 5 mins.
edit3: aaah now i get it!
no you cant 'talk' to a single npc like this _unless_ they have a unique player index.as it is, simply all npcs with same player index will react.thats not so bad i think , as, again, if its for a quest, in a storyline, the one you wanna talk to should prolly have one anyway.kinda like fo1 where all the important people are somebody on their own and the rest is usually part of a group.

I'm talking about immersion and simulating a dynamic dialog. Using this system, you can't get the interactivity of the RPG dialog system. For example, it would take a ridiculous amount of work to be able to ask Jagged Jimmy J where he got his scar from without the player giving that note to the wrong NPC.
That aside, it seems this is the most advanced dialog system usable in FoT. It's a damn sight better than yes/no sprites.
I'd appreciate it if you would post the technique. I need something like this in the mod I've been tinkering with. As for it being worth the work or not, it would depend on what a modder was trying to achieve.

actually its easy, just make a note called 'Ask Jagged Jimmy J where he got his scar from' and make the triggers so it only works on some char named Jagged Jimmy J (or whatever you want) and that he replies with something.btw, the replies are always floats.you could use click speech, but i dont see the point, as then you would have to click on them to get them to say something.it doesnt use random speech either, ive noticed they dont always say something immediately.
Heres the Setup, ill note where there are problems:
1.actor with tag name 'player' and player index 1(problem 1: cant be main char, real bummer)
2.Actor or actors with tag name 'citizens' and player index 2(problem 2: there can be more of them, but if you have an entire village set to the same player index, it'll look like crap.i use alot of different pi's which i bet most people do)
3.Custom item, i used a pamphlet cuz it looked like a note, renamed to 'Say Hi' with tag name 'NotesHi' and PI 0 (player index dont matter for this obvious, its just an item and thus scenery)
4.custom speech file.for this example, you'll need one that gives some replies to a friendly hi.for example: 'What the hell do you want?' or 'This better be good...'
-Varstart: -Condition : always -Actions : set variable 'NotesHi_Var' to 'F' NOT preserved
-NotesHi Start : -Condition : (Quantity-player) 'Citizens' has 'more then 0'
ItemsTagged 'NotesHi' ; if mission variable 'NotesHi_Var' is 'F' -Action : Set mission variable 'NotesHi_Var' to 'T' -PRESERVED ON
-NotesHi End : Condition : if mission variable 'NotesHi_Var' is 'T'
action : -Entity 'Citizens' will use speech node 'Your_reply_speech_node_here'; B(lock) Wait 5 seconds ; Entity 'Citizens' will use speech node '' ; give ItemsTagged 'NotesHi' from 'Citizens' to human; set mission variable 'NotesHi_Var' to T -Preserved
There ya go.thats 1.now for the other 50 player indexes, and with 10 different things to say, thats some work.good thing there's a 'copy' button
.also ya can save the thingy if you wrote it out completely, then load it up first whenever you make a new map.that way it'll be in there from the start and no need to rewrite.Oh and for the custom speech file, if you put it in generic_mission.txt, you can use all of them in every mission.handy.like i said earlier, you can do alot with this.you can make stuff happen by letting them check the vars.i'll have more to say later.PS: Interested in a way to move item from npc to npc?

So, for a natural dialog tree, appropriate notes could be dropped into the player inventory, then removed when that stage of the conversation is over and a new set of notes is loaded?

Definitely.all that you would change is in the appropriate npcs inventory, to have the notes in it.then when you like say hi, instead of only giving that one back, he would also give you one like, 'ask about his dog' and another like, 'ask about his cat', and depending on which one you pick then, would determine where you go with the dialogue.in this example, if you would for instance go for 'ask about his dog', you can make the script to remove the note 'ask about his cat' from the player, and even make the other notes that required you to ask about his cat disappear from his inventory.Of course, you could not remove them, and keep the line open.
edit: just thought of this: you could throw in some rep checks to allow or disallow dialogue lines.and maybe its possible to tune your rep to your charisma using scripts, like if you only have 2 charisma, and your supposedly horrid to look at, your rep would take a hit of -1 point every 10 seconds or something.So you would either have to get your charisma up or first go do a bunch of good deeds before you can get that quest from a very law abiding paladin or something.

It seems rather complex for just saying hi. Even in the rpgs if you went up to someone without anything significant to say all they do is display some floating text, much the same as the existing click speech option in FOT, since you'd need to click on them to barter anyway why not use that? For a more complex dialogue with npcs endocore's clone system works well, I'm working on a slight modification of that, when I get round to the speech files that is.
Moving items between an npc and player is one of those triggers that doesn't always work and doesn't always transfer the item to the squad member you used to initiate the conversation. Moving from npc to npc isn't possible without using the player in a three way trade.
If you want to tagname the main character restrict the player to using a prefab. You can supply prefabs with tagnames and make one blank which people can use to create a character from scratch.
I've got different speech events for if a player approaches with a weapon equipped or not, using the more than items tagged equipped trigger. You could use something similar instead of the clone system.
If you start the prefab with notes in their inventory, instead of needing to barter the item you'd just use human has more than 0 items tagged equipped with the action changing the click speech for npcs depending on which note is equipped. You could also have some that change attitude, i.e. a token for being aggressive, a token for being neutral and a token for being passive. As well as tokens that ask generic questions, ask about, tell me more etc. Equipping them would change the npcs dialogue for each time you clicked on them.

hey that's a great idea!you could have 2 equipped like the token you mentioned for passive/neutral/aggressive, and then another one, but will they be 'equipped' at the same time?dunno that, but anyway thats a great idea since that way you can skip the whole barter thing.I'll try it now.
oops, looks like i jumped the gun a bit, how exactly do you use the speech event trigger?
nvm i found out.Works 10 times better now.let me detail the improvements:
1.since u can do 'player' has itemtaggedequiped, that _can_ be the main character too.no more prefabs
2.apparently a bit less scripting, namely i only need 3 triggers to be able to say Hi to everyone on the map.
3.using the speech occured event, you can still give the player new note sets, allowing for the same dialogue build.
so theres only one tiny insignificant flaw i see right now and thats that evryone you want to talk to needs a tagname.thats doable.
another thing i just thought of, u need an extra trigger for when player doesnt have any equipped, then turn clickspeeches back to ''
=>now only to build more complicated dialogues with the extra use of reputation would be nice, even nicer if charisma could count for something too like i said earlier.

Virtually any individual that needs to be scripted will need a tagname, it's easier than giving everyone seperate player index entries.
You need the trigger to turn off the click speech for every version of your notes.
Only the main player gains reputation IIRC. Charisma can be done but you'd need to take into account the charisma of the other team members. Easy enough to do if you've got a small recruit pool or a limited amount of recruitable npcs. Though it would be better to spawn the player in the first map without any squad members then you can count his/her charisma and set a campaign variable accordingly, same for the other stats and skills.

well everything with just the notes works fine.havent tried matching them up yet, because of been busy with something else, and it seems to be impossible to get working.
If you put a 'stop timer' behind every timer change, you have a sort of variable that you can add and subtract to.the problem is, i havent gotten anywhere near scripting it right so it actually does both.I want it to Add 100 when its less then 100 and make it subtract 100 when its more then 100.the point was to get sort of a random number when you let the timer go past several notes, sorta like when you are saying more to people.the point to doing both add and subtract is that i wanted it so that if you said hi, you get 100 "charisma points" for explanations sake, but if you then said hi again, when you had those 100 you would lose them again.Hmm, im gonna look into this(got an idea) but i'd like some comments about the whole var thing that u can add and subtract to/from it.this way you could script different dialogues for different "charisma points levels"

Ok as far as i can tell the 'add' and 'subtract' timer do exactly the same as 'set' timer; they 'add' TO and 'subtract' TO...What you can have with timer and timer stop together is a variable that you can set to any number triggered by anything you want at any time but if the damn functions would work we could 'add' and 'subtract'.....
This is how i would use it; if you Say Hi(with the note thing) to someone, it would add 100 seconds to a certain timer.then when you say hi again, and the timer _already_ has 100 seconds i want it to subtract 100.And the idea is that when you say 'how are you?' right after the first 'hi' you would get an extra 100 seconds on the timer.so just when you repeat the same thing, you lose 100 seconds, and when you use different things, you get 100 seconds.that way in the end you couldve used 10 different notes and could have accumulated 1000 seconds, but there would also need to be a way for you to fail the action and not gain or lose points, then when you've exhausted your options you'll be left with a certain number of points.depending on how lucky you got, and how many different notes u used, that number would then differ.which could thus trigger different things, like, if you only have 100 seconds nothing would change, if you had 200 seconds you got a random fedex quest(working on that), if you had 600 or more for example, you would get a random assassination quest(working on that too).
see what i'm getting at?a random way to get random missions.btw both those i suggested are do-able i believe.could be i'm dreaming.the idea would be that u get an extra note at those values, and if you talk to someone with one of those special notes you may or may not get a quest, depending on whether the person you tried with needed a quest done(working on this as well
anyway i hope this clarifies my intentions, simply to use the timer not to descend or ascend, but to add or subtract certain values to it.like i said, doesnt work though.:(maybe i could use random numbers?hmm...

As you've determined the add and subtract just reset the timer rather than reducing or increasing by the amount specified, so you can't do what you want.
It's not a rpg and is never going to be an rpg, deal with it and move on.
I don't know why you choose to use the timers anyway, the reputation would be a much better bet. Reputation levels go up 101 points at a time IIRC (there's a post in the gameplay forum with a list) so if you added/subtracted 1 point for speech events you could probably set off different variables without drastically affecting the player's reputation level.

well i might be able to deal with it but then i'd have to go back to fo1 because unfortunately i dont have fo2
but i still think some nice things can be done, i mean in the past 3 days every idea i could think of could be done.Your right about the rep, but what i thought was, instead of using that, make your own.but yea, with rep, the things i want might be doable.guess i need some more experience

How to Improve Cyclone Separation
Good cyclone separation depends upon control of pressure drop, pulp density and apex size. The pressure drop may vary but should not change rapidly, and is held at safe levels by keeping an adequate sump level. A falling sump level causes cavitation in the pump and reduction in feed rate; pressure drop in the cyclone falls and solids report increasingly to the overflow until the drop

Giving Beauty Back: The Golden Echo
16 December, 2006, 08:48 am
My good friend, Wendy Ban, gave me my first calligraphy pen. It was an auspicious moment. The pen was like a magic wand, and I knew immediately what to do with it. A line from Gerard Manley Hopkins's 1882 poem, "The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo," came echoing across the century, telling me to "Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty's self and beauty's giver."
So I lettered this long poem to learn calligraphy, using it to practice my ABC's and learn my art form. I practiced for about five years with passion and dedication until my unique form of Literary Calligraphy® watercolors began to emerge. I often marvel at the wonderful alchemy that occurred. Hopkins wrote a poem; his friend published it; close to a hundred years later my friend introduced me to the poem; three years later the same friend gave me a calligraphy pen, and my life was magically transformed. So I encourage you to read a poem to someone, or to write a poem, or to "give beauty back" – it may transform someone's life.
Hopkins might never have written this poem. Born in England in 1844, he became a Jesuit and began his study for the priesthood in 1868. He burned all the verses he had written (or so he thought) and vowed to write no more, feeling a conflict between writing poetry and his priestly calling. For seven years he wrote next to nothing. The drowning of five exiled Franciscan nuns on December 7, 1875 moved him to write his great poem, "The Wreck of the Deutschland." Encouraged by his Rector, he then felt free to write more. I sure am glad he did because he went on to write some of my favorite poems.
We might not have know Hopkins's poems if it weren't for his good friend, Robert Bridges. Hopkins died in 1889 in relative obscurity, having never sought publication of his poetry. He had, however, shared his poems in correspondence with Bridges, who became Poet Laureate of England in 1913 and edited the first edition of Hopkins's poetry in 1918, Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins (Humphrey Milford, London). The first edition included, "The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo," a poem like many of Hopkins's that should be read out loud.
The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo
(Maidens' song from St. Winefred's Well)
How to keep–is there any any, is there none such, nowhere
known some, bow or brooch or braid or brace, lace, latch or
catch or key to keep
Back beauty, keep it, beauty, beauty, beauty,... from vanishing
O is there no frowning of these wrinkles, ranked wrinkles deep,
Down? no waving off of these most mournful messengers, still
messengers, sad and stealing messengers of grey?
No there's none, there's none, O no there's none,
Nor can you long be, what you now are, called fair,
Do what you may do, what, do what you may,
And wisdom is early to despair:
Be beginning; since, no, nothing can be done
To keep at bay
Age and age's evils, hoar hair,
Ruck and wrinkle, drooping, dying, death's worst, winding sheets,
tombs and worms and tumbling to decay;
So be beginning, be beginning to despair.
O there's none; no no no there's none:
Be beginning to despair, to despair,
Despair, despair, despair, despair.
There is one, yes I have one (Hush there!);
Only not within seeing of the sun,
Not within the singeing of the strong sun,
Tall sun's tingeing, or treacherous the tainting of the earth's air,
Somewhere elsewhere there is ah well where! one,
One. Yes I can tell such a key, I do know such a place,
Where whatever's prized and passes of us, everything that's fresh
and fast flying of us, seems to us sweet of us and swiftly away
with, done away with, undone,
Undone, done with, soon done with, and yet dearly and danger-
ously sweet
Of us, the wimpled-water-dimpled, not-by-morning-matched face,
The flower of beauty, fleece of beauty, too too apt to, ah! to fleet,
Never fleets more, fastened with the tenderest truth
To its own best being and its loveliness of youth: it is an everlasting-
ness of, O it is an all youth!
Come then, your ways and airs and looks, locks, maiden gear,
gallantry and gaiety and grace,
Winning ways, airs innocent, maiden manners, sweet looks, loose
locks, long locks, lovelocks, gaygear, going gallant, girl-
grace –
Resign them, sign them, seal them, send them, motion them with
And with sighs soaring, soaring sighs deliver
Them; beauty-in-the-ghost, deliver it, early now, long before death
Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty's self
and beauty's giver.
See; not a hair is, not an eyelash, not the least lash lost; every hair
Is, hair of the head, numbered.
Nay, what we had lighhanded left in surly the mere mould
Will have waked and have waxed and have walked with the wind
what while we slept,
This side, that side hurling a heavyheaded hundredfold
What while we, while we slumbered.
O then, weary then why should we tread? O why are we so haggard
at the heart, so care-coiled, care-killed, so fagged, so fashed, so
cogged, so cumbered,
When the thing we freely forfeit is kept with fonder a care,
Fonder a care kept than we could have kept it, kept
Far with fonder a care (and we, we should have lost it) finer, fonder
A care kept. – Where kept? Do but tell us where kept, where. –
Yonder. – What high as that! We follow, now we follow. –
Yonder, yes yonder, yonder,

Jack Calwin is an evolved human who is one of the Co-Founders of the Organisation and Director of the Jack Calwin Training Facility. He is the child of an affair between Angela Petrelli and Carlos Mendez and because of this illegitimacy he was abandoned at birth, raised in an orphanage in England. The orphanage raised Jack until he was finally adopted by the Calwin family in his teens. Jack lives in a mansion in New York with his wife, Tracy Strauss, and their children. He is the father of five children, one of whom is adopted.
Jack was born on the 21st of September, 1975. He was left in a care home in England and grew up there. It is unknown why his birth mother Angela chose to give him to an English care home; however, this could be because she may have given birth to Jack whilst in England on a trip, or she thought that leaving Jack in a place that was far away would make it more unlikely for him or his biological father to find out about each other. Jack was raised in this unnamed orphanage in England until he was adopted by the Calwin family in his late teens. However, his life with this new family was short-lived and he lost contact with them during his early twenties. He had grown up wondering about his birth family and experienced emotional distress because he never fully understood why he was given away at birth.
After leaving home, Jack began taking up different hobbies and sports. Hiking was his main interest as he enjoyed nature and the beauties of the world. Quite often, Jack went hiking and went on trips around the world, but when he nearly fell off a cliff in Bosnia he started floating in mid-air. At first Jack was shocked but he began learning that more and more unusual things started happening around him, and he discovered that he is an evolved human who can control gravity.
About a year afterwards, he met Lowri Petrelli, a fellow evolved human. Jack helped discover more and more people like him and her, and began to work for her at the Organisation, eventually becoming one of its leaders alongside her. During one mission, in a fight he manifested what appeared to be a fourth ability. Jack developed something he named as a "Vortex Eye", which enabled him to produce vortexes from his eyes. This took a lot of strain out of Jack when doing so and took him days to recover when he used it. Investigating this new ability led Jack to identify his birth mother. She admitted that she'd had this ability implanted in his as a baby, to eventually lead him to her, and once he forgave her for abandoning him she asked someone to remove the vortex eye.
Jack had been in an on-off relationship with Tracy Strauss for a while, but they decided to start their relationship seriously, and a year later they got married. This happened shortly after Jack learned of his birth family. Shortly after the wedding, Tracy discovered that she was pregnant with their first child, Cody Calwin.
While working for The Organisation, Jack has been on many life threatening situation and missions. He had been through a lot and had been put on depression pills due to his mental break downs and the memories of his childhood and past. While on the depression pills, Jack began to live with the fact that he needed to gain some self-control and start to look to the future, however this led him to stop using his pills and made him suicidal. With the help of his wife he managed to get back on track, and start to live healthily.
Jack and Tracy had been on a bumpy relationship which seemed to even out when they had another child, Ashleigh Calwin. Tracy had initially believed that she was infertile due to complications in Cody's birth but this damage was healed. Jack bonded with his daughter straight away as she took an interest with his work and wants to do the same job when she grows older.
After the birth of his two twin daughters, Jack started to enjoy life again. His daughter Kayleigh Calwin, who has an ability called mental projection, accidentally projected his nightmares into reality. This led Jack to see his worst nightmare (himself being a terrible father, evil and controlling). Jack had to fight with the fact of seeing himself, and his nightmare took control over him. Jack didn't know the cause of his nightmare coming into reality until his friend and colleague, Alec Greenway, revealed it to him and dealt with it successfully.
After finding out that there was a traitor within the Organisation, Jack went to investigate. He was abducted and held hostage by Lauren, a rogue agent within the Organisation. He escaped with the assistance of one of her helpers but once he arrived home, he learned that Lauren had sent her loyal companion, Kevin, to abduct Tracy. After finding Tracy in South America, he tried to fight Kevin off, which resulted in his own death. His son, Cody managed to bring him back from the dead by augmenting the ability of health optimising to an amazing degree. The ability was stored in a ring, that belonged to Lauren.
Months later, a call had gone out about a possible evolved human who had caused a fire. Jack went to see what had happened and saw that a baby had manifested his abilities and created a fire, burning the building and his parents within. Jack saved the baby boy, Zander, and adopted him as his own.
With his immediate family, Jack lives in the outskirts of New York. The Calwin Residence is a mansion, with four acres of land. They have two horses, and also a tree house in the garden. The location is quiet and not too far away from work and the rest of their family.
The inside of the house is large also, occupied with many rooms, and guest bedrooms and it also has a "secret room". The house has three pools (one oudoor, two indoor), a library, a children's play room and also a room known as the "cushion room" (a room filled with cushions).
Evolved Human Abilities
A dangerous aspect is that Jack can create vortexes as well. He is immune to them but they can suck everything else in, destroying anything that gets drawn inside them. Jack has used this ability greatly, and can change the vortexes, making them bigger or smaller. A hard task that he has achieved was to be able to create gravitational force fields. These repels objects from him and he can form this into a moving blast that pushes objects away.
As well, this ability allows Jack to not age. This means that Jack will theoretically live forever, however there is a spot located in the back of his head, which if impaled will stop him from healing or this ability from working. This ability works instantly and cannot be stopped, however Jack has managed to control how long his body can heal for and delay his body healing for a few mintues. The ability has also developed to the extent that he no longer can feel the sensation of physical pain.
So far, Jack has shown that his lungs can adapt to any environment, from no air to air full with poisonous gases. Underwater, Jack will still be able to breathe and his hands and feet will become webbed, allowing him to increase his skill in swimming. His body has also been shown to adapt to any temperature changes. His skin shows no sign of regenerative healing when burned or frozen; instead he is just not harmed, and feels no different from his skin being burned or his skin being frozen.
Physical AppearanceJack is described as having blonde hair which appears to always be styled the same way. His hair colour is different to his mother and father's, however he may of inherited it from his maternal grandparents. Sometimes his hair darkens, appearing to be light brown. His skin has been described as being radiant and bright. He has light blue eyes which his son and eldest daughter have inherited. Jack is tall and muscular with a strong build, and he has a strong jaw-line and a nice smile. Because of his ability of rapid cellular regeneration Jack does not age, so his appearance remains the same and will always do so.
OccupationJack works at the Organisation, a company created by Lowri Petrelli to help protect, teach and save people who are evolved humans. They have a number of bases over the world. While Jack lived in England, he ran the base in London, but he lost this position when he moved to New York, and was transferred to being an agent and co-founder in America. He soon was inspired to further help training, and opened up the Jack Calwin Training Facility. With JCTF Jack had been busy training and teaching people with abilities. JCTF has been doing well, it became vastly popular and is in use everyday. A lot of people with abilities have been training there, and use the special rooms that they have to offer.
People all over the world have came to come to the New York Organisation, as it has the latest research facilities, and is the biggest one in the world. The New York Organisation is where most of the co-founders work, and where they discuss important issues.
Jack plays a major role in the security in these organisations and goes on missions to find people with abilities, and help keep the secret from human knowledge. He has met a lot of evolved humans in and out of the Organisation.
Jack is a Hebrew name which means "god is gracious". His surname is French and means "bald". This is his adoptive surname. Jack's paternal surname, Mendez, has several meaning. The surname is used in many Spanish and Portugese families, meaning "son of Mendo", however the name originated from Germany and it has connections with the name Hermenegild, meaning "whole" and "present".

I'm wondering if there is a slight issue with the plans or I'm misunderstanding something.
The bottom of the boat at the stern is 416mm (208 to centre line) on page 39.
The dimensions of the plywood for the transom is shown as 212 to the centre line on page 13. So 4mm wider than the bottom on each side.
From the diagram at the top of page 23 it looks like the sides sit on top of the bottom (as opposed to the bottom sitting between the sides).
Doesn't this mean that the transom needs to be about 6mm narrower than the bottom on each side and not 4mm wider?
I've built it as specced but it's far too wide. I can make it fit easily enough but I slightly concerned that I'm misunderstanding something.
It's OK. I've figured it out. The transom goes in front of the "transom line" I'd assumed that it went behind it. Doh!

Preparing to respond
Be positive. The goal of commenting is to offer encouragement and honest assessment. Look for strengths and help students build on those strengths.
Start a conversation. Think of responding as teaching, not correcting—especially in early drafts. Responding is most fruitful for students when you engage them in a dialogue.
Share models. Share with students a rough draft and the final draft of the same paper. Let them see that true revising is often a renovation project rather than just patchwork and fixes.
Discuss the purpose of comments. Spend class time talking with students about comments. Introduce them to the types of comments you give, and explain any symbols or shorthand you use.
Responding to rough drafts
Go global. Resist asking students to patch and edit before they develop their ideas. Asking students to think about grammar, punctuation, and word choice in sentences that may not make it to the next draft could be a waste of your time and theirs.
Know when to go local. In a rough draft, you might identify patterns of sentence-level, or local, errors instead of marking individual errors. Identifying patterns—representative strengths and limitations—helps students gain control over their writing and saves you time.
Continue the lesson. Responding is more effective when the language of comments grows from discussions in the classroom. Students shouldn't be encountering terms or ideas for the first time in the margins of their papers.
Teach one lesson at a time. Reading an entire draft, quickly, before commenting may actually save time. Ask: What single lesson (or two) do I want to teach here? And how will my comments teach this lesson? Avoid over commenting: An individual writer can learn only a finite set of lessons when revising a single paper.
Encouraging revision
Tread purposefully and lightly. Avoid leaving too heavy a footprint in the margins of students' papers. Use your comments to show students how to start revising without suggesting specific language for the revision.
Foster reflection. Ask students to submit a cover letter or a Dear Reader letter along with a rough draft. Such a letter reminds students that they are writing for a reader, allows them to begin a dialogue about their work, and provides an opportunity for them to articulate any concerns about their draft.
Require a revision plan. When you hand back drafts with your comments, assign students to review the comments, perhaps during the final fifteen minutes of a class, and to write a one-page revision plan in which they explain what they learned from the comments and how they plan to use the comments as they revise.
Responding to final drafts
Refresh your memory. Before responding to final drafts, reread the assignment and the expectations you may have listed for students. Doing so keeps the commentary tied to the assignment.
Put final comments in context. On a final draft, evaluate the strengths and limitations in the context of the assignment's goals. Responding is far easier when the goals of an assignment have shaped the language and lessons that prepared students for the assignment.
Provide a bridge. Writers develop their skills over time. It's too much to expect that first-year writing teachers can cover every lesson students need in order to write successfully across the curriculum. Make sure your comments on final drafts do double duty. Final comments can evaluate success in relation to the specific assignment, but they should also provide a bridge—a transportable lesson—to the next assignment or to assignments in other courses.

W.I.P. Session 6
Well here I am back with more on my large painting's progress. Yesterday was a big step. Realizing being stuck on the wall was holding me up I took it off the wall and hung it upside down and did some work that way. Then I took it off the wall and put it on a tarp on the floor and mixed paint and poured it on the canvas. Some how my brain still does understand the scope of this painting as I had a difficult time making enough paint to pour. Then, much to my excitement I put it on a wall where I am not fighting the glare. The painting is now in an awkward stage but an exciting place because I am back at having something to respond to. The painting was getting to a place I was liking too much too early. I was treating it as something precious and was immobilized.

I do that whole staring thing too. Then when the next idea comes I do it and then its more staring hehehe. I also struggle with it getting too precious and then I have trouble moving forward on it. I struggle to overcome this all the time. Its so nice to hear some one else has the same problem. My computer died so I've been offline. I don't know what's going on with everyone anymore but you sound like you are having a great time.

The solistice and my 41st year are now both over. While electoral success has eluded me, the rest of the year has been very eventful:
I managed to be in breach of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act while demonstrating against NHS privatisation (the rozzers were quite pleasant about it and let us carry on for half an hour before asking us to stop).
They were less pleasant during the climate camp week. A two hour wait to be searched in Kingsnorth was un-called for. Tapping my phone conversations prior to a demo outside Allington was equally bizarre. The £5.7 million has meant that police services will be cut in Kent. Clearly the climate campers were a dangerous lot - 12 police injuries, four from direct contact with protesters (hardly surprising given the way the police charged the camp), eight from wasp stings, sun stroke and the like. Also in 2008, the Kingsnorth Six got aquitted only to have the government now trying to appeal. Importantly, 2008 was the year that the climate frontier came to Kent and it looks set to stay too.
A highlight was getting published in the Internation Journal of Cuban Studies (a piece on peak oil and health care).
The campaign for ethical investments at KCC scored a victory with their adoption of the UN's Principles of Responsible Investment.
Here's to a busy and exciting 42nd year!

Young people aren't buying lottery tickets
The big lotteries across the country have a problem. No, this has nothing to do with a numbers scandal or stolen tickets. Nor does it have to do with someone winning a prize and the lottery refusing to pay out.
Lotteries are well-run, well-oiled machines. But without enough oil to make things run smoothly, there could be a problem. And that oil happens to be the 18-35 set.
For the lottery gears to work, people (the oil we're talking about) need to buy tickets. But research up in Canada shows that those between the ages of 18 and 35 aren't buying lottery tickets. They just aren't interested. The same seems to be true in parts of the United States.
In the province of Ontario, of the people who buy lottery tickets at least once a week, only 13% of them are under the age of 35. Baby Boomers will continue to buy tickets up until the end, but the lottery needs to do something to attract the younger set today.
In The Great White North, this is one of the reasons why several provinces have created online gambling sites. British Columbia has one. So does Manitoba. So does Quebec. And Ontario is supposed to launch one, though they seemed to have missed their 2014 timeline.
The lottery corporations know that they need to be online to rake in the cash and get people excited. The lottery only generates so much cash today, and that number will likely drop if people aren't interested.
One of the strategies being considered is to develop a new lottery that will appeal to younger players. However, I think this is the wrong strategy. It's not the type of lottery that's available. It's the concept of the lottery in general. Younger players want instant gratification, which is what makes online gambling so rewarding and fun.
The concept of buying a ticket and waiting a whole week (or even a few hours if it's a nightly draw) seems ridiculous to younger people. And as the iPad generation grows up, instant satisfaction will only become more of a big deal.
If you're one of those people who can't wait for next weekend's big draw, hop onto The Virtual Casino right now and give Keno a try. It's kind of like the lottery, only the winning happens seconds after you place your bet.Print this article

Maffi's PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Facial is a facial rejuvenation treatment combining Microneedling with a topical application of your own blood platelets. Growth factors found in platelets help repair damaged cells in the body. Combining the benefits of Microneedling with the concentrated growth factors found in platelets speeds up the healing process and cellular rejuvenation in your skin. The result is smooth, firm, radiant skin.
Microneedling uses a small hand-held device with tiny needles that create microchannels or tiny holes in the skin's surface. These microchannels immediately trigger the healing process, producing collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin. The microchannels also allow for better absorption of topical products. Applying PRP following Microneedling helps in repairing damaged cells at the base of the skin, targeting age related skin damage, enlarged pores, and fine lines and wrinkles.

…Orange? Red, Blue and Yellow?
Who knows Ive always liked Dutch football and to be honest the Spanish tippy tappy football is ok to watch but boring 1-0s doesnt make great World Cup football.
Still, fair play to both teams, both massive underachievers in the past and generally teams who implode due to various factions in their squads long before the final stages. Both camps in the past have been rife with national tensions (spain and catalonia, holland and their players from colonial backgrounds) which leads nicely into Northern Ireland in July.

By Jayadeva Ranade
China's increasing influence over Nepal resulted in the derailing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's trip to Lumbini during his visit to that country for the SAARC summit. Many political parties in Nepal, ostensibly prompted by domestic political considerations, opposed PM Modi's visit to the pilgrimage sites of Janakpur, Muktinath and Lumbini. In contrast, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse travelled to Lumbini without a hitch. For many years, China's specific strategic focus has been on establishing a presence in Buddha's birthplace Lumbini and ensuring that Nepal is not used as a base to destabilise the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). Chinese government-sponsored NGOs have unveiled plans estimated at US$3 billion for the redevelopment of Lumbini, which include an airport and seminary-cum-monastery.
At least three Chinese government-sponsored NGOs are trying to establish a presence there for which they are co-opting prominent Nepal politicians. The Asia Pacific Exchange and Cooperation Foundation (APECF), promoted by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP') United Front Work Department (UFWD), has appointed the chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (UCP-N) Pushpa Kamal Dahal, better known as Prachanda, as a vice president. It was during Prachanda's term as Prime Minister that Nepal forged very close ties with China. Prachanda broke with tradition and travelled to Beijing on his first visit abroad. Another Chinese government-sponsored NGO, the International Ecological Safety Collaborative Organisation (IESCO), appointed Madhav Kumar Nepal (CPN-UML) and Sujata Koirala (NC) as executive chairpersons.
Designated as "friends' and promised huge financial and other benefits by China as part of its policy of peripheral diplomacy, both Pakistan and Nepal worked in apparent tandem to further the Chinese agenda in Kathmandu. The attitude of Nepal, which between 1999-2003 had become a staging ground for Pakistan intelligence and terrorists entering India, particularly brought in to stark prominence the extent of China's influence in that country.
A potential game changer in the triangular India-Nepal-China relationship is the strategically important Qinghai-Lhasa railway, which has drastically shortened the time for inducting troops and military supplies, along with tourists, into Tibet. Nepal's politicians have repeatedly pleaded with Chinese leaders to extend the railway to Kathmandu. Work began this October to extend the 253-km Lhasa-Shigatse section of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway by another 540 kilometres up to Kyirong on Tibet's border with Nepal. Chinese railway teams have completed surveys for extending the railway to Kathmandu and further to Lumbini, barely 25 km from the border with India. Obviously, Chinese military engineers will construct and maintain the rail links to Kathmandu and Lumbini. Chinese presence in Lumbini will enhance India's vulnerabilities in the Indo-Himalayan region.
At the same time, pro-Beijing elements in Nepal's political and bureaucratic establishments overtly pushed for China's admission to SAARC. Three Nepalese ministers wrote articles in the 12-page special supplement issued, rather curiously, by China's official news agency Xinhua and recommended full membership for China. China attempted to bolster its argument by offering US$1.63 million per year to SAARC till 2018.
The pro-Beijing orientation of one of these ministers, Minendra Rijal, was evident since 2012 when he was Nepal's Culture Minister. He had commented on the Dalai Lama's exclusion from APECF's proposed US$3 billion redevelopment project for Lumbini. Rijal said the Dalai Lama could visit Lumbini after "the leadership of China find ways to deal with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, which will be respectful of the Chinese people."
This orchestrated effort promoting China's admission to SAARC was reminiscent of a similar, but less strident, attempt during the visit to Kathmandu by the chief of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA), General Chen Bingde in March 2011. At that time there were some calls for his appointment as Honorary General of the Nepal Army, an honour traditionally only reserved for the Indian Army chief. While the demand has not resurfaced, it reflects Beijing's desire to replace Indian influence in Nepal.
General Chen Bingde's visit was important also because it was the first time that a Chinese PLA chief asserted on Nepalese soil that China would not tolerate a third country coming in the way of friendship between Nepal and China.
Beijing's effort to create a belt of Chinese influence along Nepal's border with TAR were also formalised earlier this month. The arrangement provides that China will give annual subsidies totaling US$1.6 million for education, health, basic amenities and roads to residents of 15 border districts in northern Nepal. Twelve of these districts are densely populated by Himali people of Tibetan origin and border the TAR.
There is little doubt that opposition to Prime Minister Modi's visit to the pilgrimage sites was prompted by China's concern that the visit could enhance India's profile and frustrate its plans in Lumbini. India needs to urgently formulate a robust response to China's expanding influence in Nepal, which along with Pakistan could otherwise develop into a contiguous belt of Chinese influence to India's north. India should leverage its advantages, including the "national status" granted to Nepal, and warn Kathmandu that its relationship with China is now poised to cross the unacceptable "red line".

My name is Passion, not the real name of mine, but it will do for this story. About three years ago I was traveling in North America, near the American-Canadian border where a small motel was found. Just one of these quaint little places found off the highway; that is high in the forested mountains, with a shop, diner, and a few rooms.
With this being late in the off season of travel, and it snowing up a storm! This was the first time I have seen or even touched snow in my life! I got stuck there at the motel for several days, and struck up a friendship with one of the workers, a lady by the name of Hopakaia.
Hopakaia lives at the motel, working in the gift shop and doing the various odd jobs of cleaning, laundry, and the like about the place. She also does some fortune telling for the guests who are interested in that thing.
After her day was done, I was invited to her small apartment at the back of the place, where she offered a free demonstration of her abilities. She did a few readings of my palm lines, in regards to such matters of how my life and family have gone so far, and did so with a stunning degree of accuracy. I and my family have always held that our fates are all pre-ordained, unknowable, but to a handful of people…and it looked like Hopakaia is one of them. "You know Hopakaia, the future is already ordained for all of us, what the readers say is already meant to happen, and it shall happen." This caught her curiosity and made her pause for awhile as she sipped her coffee.
Now I was drinking tea mixed with a strong whisky, some kind of home made stuff from what she said. The coffee drunk here in America is far too weak for my liking, more like drinking flavored water than real coffee; I like it strong enough that the spoon used stands up in sexy and hot ass silvia gets rammed hard outdoor for cash, before dissolving away.
"So, let me see if I have this strait, no matter what the future is shown to be, you will do it, because that is what will happen anyways, even if you don't want to?" The look of curiosity and interest on her face were genuine. It was nice to share ones culture and beliefs with another person.
"Yup, that is the way it works. You cannot fight your fate, and like it or not, that is what will happen to you." She went to get more tea and coffee, asking if I would like more of the whisky with it.
"Delighted to, its delicious when mixed together." I went quiet for a bit, thinking that there may be something she could do. "Can you do a reading of how my future in love and other things will turn out?
Especially here in the Americas?" This caused a peculiar smirk to cross her face, and seemed her eyes danced with an inner light. I just assumed at the time that meant she understood, and has a glimmer of my future fate. "How do you mean by 'other things' in the way of love?" She was smiling slightly, hands cupping her chin, and a look of mischief growing; indicating she understood but was going to drag it out of me before doing anything.
big dick for black beauty interracial hardcore other things…" Now I started to feel a flush gaining on my cheeks and neck. Hopakaia grinned and nodded for me to continue speaking, relishing every moment of my total embarrassment. "I mean…will there be another one in my life…or more precisely…" "Precisely as to what, this vagueness is not helping me in determining your fate." Finally I just took a deep breath, and spoke to her.
"More precisely…will I be in bed with someone at the time. You know - me naked, legs apart, and the bed shaking to pieces as we get it on with each other." Her giggles were soon joined by mine, as the tension broke between the two of us. I explained much about the ways and customs of my homeland; and about the restrictions of the law on sexuality.
I did not have to tell her that I have never been with anyone before; she pretty well figured it out on her own. "So that is the problem eh? Tell you what let me fill you in on the way it really happens here in the states." For the next ten minutes or so, she went into rather extensive and vivid accounts of sexual matters in the land.
With another cup of tea in my hands, she told stories from her own, apparently very extensive experience, in such matters. She excused herself for a couple of minutes, returning with a deck of fortune reading cards.
"I normally would not use these just for anyone, they are very old, seven generations to be precise, and always tell what the future will be to a flawless degree." Understanding the compliment she was giving me, and the unspoken question asked I nodded my head for her to do a reading of my fate.
"What will be will be, so let it be done in all things to come." The cards were laid out one at a time, with various types of patterns and pictures detailed on them. She started to tell me of their combined meanings, and with each word my interest and hope grew… "In answer to your questions Passion, yes there will be a romance for you while in America." She tapped a card that had many hearts upon it, situated next to a card with men and women intertwined.
"There will be a time of great love-making, and it will be in a most unexpected manner. Not violent, just sudden and intense for the encounter." Now THAT got my attention, and I could feel the heat of desire and expectation rising in me. It felt strange, giddy, and sweet all at the same time, not what I had expected to happen. "This card tells when, the twin moons indicate it will be at this night; most likely someone here at the motel. But then again, who knows for sure. Let's look for some clues as to who it is…if you wish to continue." I nodded at her and waved my hand for her to hurry up and show who I will be with.
Oh man! I was thinking. This is actually going to happen! And it will be this very night at the motel! My attention returned to her cards, as she set the next ones out. "Interesting…green eyes, brown hair…interesting mix of traits for an exotic lover, or perhaps I should say lover's as in more than one? Hmm, lets see now, the cards indicate that there indeed will be more than one tonight." She looked at me knowingly, and I blushed deeper than before, the interest building up in myself like a fire in its sheer intensity.
"Lucky you, getting laid more than once in a carolina sweets lily rader in girls night. Not many women can claim such an achievement even in the states." Her eyes drifted across my body, as if searching for some kind of hidden message or flaws. Instead of it making me nervous, it felt good for some strange reason.
Eyes locked on my face, she declared "I can see you are definitely in the mood tonight Passion." When I asked her how she could tell, she pointed down at the front o my t-shirt, where the nipples of my breasts are as erect as anything.
Not having bothered to wear a bra this night, I was embarrassed by how my body was acting. This set Hopakaia off into major giggling, deepening my own blush that much more. "Now to the matter at hand, according to the cards, go to your room and wait for the sign, which will be a series of knocks on the door.
I don't know how long of a wait you will have, so be ready when they arrive tonight…and enjoy yourself." ************************************** Back at the room, I was finishing a shower, nervous and pretty kimmie gets banged in the kitchen anxious at the same time, when the knock at the door came. Gulping, as it now was as the Americans would say it is "Showtime" for me, I called out to them to come on in and get comfortable.
"I'll be out shortly, just give me a minute or so, and get comfortable if you wish to." I spruced up my hair and lips, and then wrapped a small towel about myself; I figured any clothing would be quite unneeded this night. Looking over my reflection in the mirror, I steeled myself for the encounter.
"Well little girl, in a few minutes, he will be laying on top of and inside of you. So be glad, for when he cums inside of you, then you become a woman indeed." Stepping out into the room, I started to introduce myself to the lucky gentleman whom will be fucking me tonight.
Unfortunately I did not get more than a short "Hi there…" before stuttering to sheer incomprehension in the words. For right there before me stood a sight of rare beauty, chestnut hair, green eyes, well shaped in all regards…but just not a man…it was a young woman!!! I looked her over as she folded up her dress, laying it atop the coat on the floor. She was wearing a set of sheer white bra and panties.
"Seems like this is the right room now, isn't it?" Fate has just arrived in my presence. I just nodded to her at the question, waiting for the next part to play out. There is to be more slut cant live without fucking at home hardcore and creampie one lover tonight, and they will have the right color of eyes and hair.
I gulped a couple of times as she shrugged, removing her bra and panties. I saw how BIG those breasts were, much fuller and larger than mine indeed. She came over to me, walking with her hips seductively swaying, a light bounce to her step, and a wide smile of passion alight on her face.
I could not help but notice the sheer beauty of her body, especially from her breasts downward!!! For the first time I had ever seen what it meant for a woman to be "shaved" down there, I guess my eyes were locked onto her womanhood for longer than needed, shivering slightly with a mix of trepidation and delight at what was to come.
"Well now, I see that indeed you are a beauty. Let me guess, this is the first time you have ever been with a lady? Now, now, I've been around the block a few times, so its easy enough to see for me." I could not help staring at her nipples, looking like flush silver dollars, with the tits being hardened to the max!!!
I had to force myself to raise my eyes up to her lips, full and sweet looking, and flickering with that tongue that I knew was soon to go to work on various parts of my anatomy.(BIG TIME SHIVER OF SHEER DELIGHT!!!) Her finger softly caressed my lips, while the other hand is rubbing my neck. I just went into a complete shuddering at the feel, a touch sensitive but commanding at the same time.
Then both hands moved slowly down my shoulders and arms with the lightest of feather touches.I accidently dropped my towel to the floor, and wound up blushed as she looked me over with an eye of experience.and sheer, unmidigated LUST!!! My nipples became flushed and erect as the hands continued caressing me, working their way slowly to my breasts, cupping them softly; her fingers played upon my nipples so well that a fiery burning came with the giggling that parted my mouth.
She teased me with a quick nibble on them, pressing lightly with her lips and circling her tongue over each in turn. My hands found their way to her head, and held her there. Part of my brain screamed to stop, but my body overuled it, telling it to let it continue and happen, for this is what it was made for!!! I thrilling dude with her taut beaver hardcore blowjob feel my very breath become flustered and shallow, while my heart started pounding so hard I feared it would burst.
I could not see at all, so hard of desire was flowing through my body, that they were shut TIGHT from the feeling. She released my nipples from her mouth, giving me a brief moment of respite until her lushious lips met mine. Not exactly knowing what was going on, I did what she did as we kissed and tongued each other.
Hands went down my backside, clutching me on the butt, holding it firmly yet gently, a mix of the fist of iron covered with a velvet glove at the same time. My hands seemed to move of their own violation, carefully and nervously at first, taking the time to explore those huge breasts via touch. She let me examine them in their fullest of womanly glories, nipples erect like the great cedars of lebanon.
Hot to the touch, and covered with a soft sheen of sweat garnered with the anticipation of coming passion, I realized she was getting as excited or more so than I was at the time.
It was to begin now, I understood. The union ordained by fate, set right before me at this time. Our bodies began to flow in time, synchronized by the feeling of touch, alive with the heat of lust, and linked by the fulfillment of desired passions. As she gently moved me towards the bed, we were intertwined with kissing, touching, and feelings, both bodies shaking for an union of flesh to flesh, lips to lips, and the desire for release of rapturous delight!!!
Then she laid me down, her soft body on top of me, feeling like an extention of myself; as I imagined I was an extention of her. For some unknown amount of time we lay there, linked by the fires within, building up in me via her touch, her look, and desires, bringing me to an edge of ectasy then letting up briefly only to bring me back again.
Easing downward, she kissed my breasts, chest, and stomach slwoly as she went, often nibbling lightly and playfully with her teeth. As she approached my womanhood, she eased my legs apart, and stroked softly my pussy, teasing me with more touches and light blowing of her breath on it. Finally I felt I could stand it no more, she spread apart my skin with her fingers, and extended out her tongue.ready to initiate me into the arts of woman-woman lovemaking.
Just in time for the damn knock on the door.

Wether automotive, electronic or industry – From years of experience we know what is required in these branches – so you can completely rely on us. We are your SPECIALIST.
Fixing, sealing, conducting, insulation, protecting - the respective purpose of use and the special requirements of the tape decide which adhesive tape is appropriate for your project. And the question whether we laser, cut, laminate, plot or punch in further processing is always a decision on a by-case-basis. Commercially available bulk commodities cannot meet these different demands on an adhesive tape. INNO TAPE is your competent project partner independent from the manufacturer - from the very first idea via the component design and prototyping to series delivery and assembly service.
The use of self-adhesive materials is hardly more common in any other market segment than in the automobile one. One reason is the advantage of bonded connections compared with other joining technologies so that mechanical stress can be excluded almost completely in view of the residual elasticity of the bonding point. Another advantage of bonding is the uniform distribution of forces in case of plastic deformation of the components (e.g. due to an accident). We are glad that several famous automobile manufacturers have trust in us and we are able to support large model series often from the very first idea.
In the electrical and electronic fields many adhesive tapes, EMC and thermal management products are used in a diversified way. They have different functions as screening of antennas and electronic components; they provide for electrical and thermal conductivity, they insulate in transformers and electric motors and excellently fix LEDs and components on circuit boards. They provide for the heat management, i.e. the control and heat dissipation, of components and radiators as well and bond the covering when pouring engines and components.
Nowadays the bonding process replaces many traditional joining procedures in the industrial manufacturing such as welding, screwing, riveting and clamping. Not only is packaging glued or books bound. Above all, the possibility to save material and weight by using tape is highly appreciated in several industrial manufacturing processes. Our partners from industry appreciate our short delivery times and flexibility in view of the purchase quantities.

Emmerdale has announced the new executive producer for the soap following the tragic death of previous producer Gavin Blyth in November. Stuart Blackburn who has been story producer for the ITV drama since 2009.
The new producer's role is effective immediately and Blackburn had his first long-term story conference this week. Blyth who died in November after a short-term illness steered a hugely successful revamp for the show which saw new characters such as Hazel Rhodes (Pauline Quirke) join the show to a generally positive reaction.
Speaking of his new role as executive producer, Blackburn commented: ''This job is very special to me because producing is the ultimate form of storytelling and I've always been very passionate about drama in my working life. This is without a doubt the most exciting day of my career.''
Continuing on, he said: ''I feel a massive responsibility as well as excitement. We'll never be complacent at Emmerdale as it's important we look forward. Together with the cast and crew, we'll continue to work extremely hard to improve what Gavin had started.''
Blackburn worked on Emmerdale as a storyliner 13 years ago before he moved on to work on shows such as ITV's The Bill and Sky's Dream Team before returning to work in soap on Coronation Street five years ago where he began working with the late Gavin Blyth. After working with Blyth on the fellow ITV soap, he was invited to rejoin the Emmerdale team by Blyth who was appointed series producer in 2009.
Speaking about the new executive producer, ITV's creative director for soaps John Whiston commented: ''Stuart Blackburn has a unique combination of the perfect pedigree and the fire in his belly to take Emmerdale to new heights. I'm really glad he threw his hat into the ring and I'm confident the show will now build on not just the foundations that Gavin laid but also on the amazing work that [assistant producer] Tony Hammond and the team have done to carry on Gavin's legacy.''
We wish Stuart all the best of luck with carrying on from the excellent and sadly departed Gavin Blyth and look forward to seeing his work come to fruition. Post your comments on the new producer here!'
