I'm going to CATS this year!
Q. Do you stitch "on the go?" (On the commute to and from work, during
your lunch break, waiting for the kids, etc.) If so, do you have a
specific "travel" project or do you just grab whatever you happen to
be working on and take it with you?
A. Oh yes, I do! I have a couple of projects slated for this purpose, although "on the go" for me pretty much just means "at work." Right now I have Papillon Creations Mystery Sampler and Sampler Cove's Bordeaux Mystery Sampler packed up for at work... I hope to travel fairly soon, Mike is trying to figure out a vacation for us... so if we do, I will definitely pack something up to take along. We took a cruise to Bermuda in 2004, and I stitched much of Dragon Dreams' Fairy Tale Sampler on the trip.
Oh.... geez, before I forget! I chatted with Mike and he sees no reason why not to go to CATS in Hershey, PA in September!! Yay! I hope to get to see Jo and Margaret while there (Margaret and I are taking the Betsy Stinner class together at Celebrations in May too!). I definitely want to take the 18th Century Historical German Garden class with Liz Turner Diehl! I will work on getting my registration in as soon as I can! We will have fun visiting Hershey Park while we are there, and Mike wants to take his new car for the drive down there... I am so excited!
The commute was bright and sunny - see how it is around here? LOL! But, credit where credit is due... the weathermen weren't totally wrong. I noticed when I ran out for lunch and coffee at 1 PM that it was snowing... but the snow was landing as rain... the ground is just too warm now for any real snow. Winter always seems to have to have a last gasp or two in New England.
Stitched on today: Papillon Creations Mystery Sampler and Medieval Town Mandala

Looks great Carol. Maybe I will be stitching a bit on MTM later this month, but now I love the stitching on my Jeannette Douglas. By the way is it alright when I start early with colonial garden as the 15th is eater weekend and than I won't be around. I will be at my parents the whole weekend to make a huge trip by bike and it is really shouting my name at the moment.

Night Kaleidoscope Revamps Vampire Horror Concept
Night Kaleidoscope Earns DecayMag Premier Award for outstanding visuals and soundtrack. Director Grant McPhee created a genre defining film bound to be a cult classic.
Film Details
Director: Grant McPhee
Writer: Megan Gretchen, Chris Purnell
Release Format: Amazon Prime
MPAA Rating: N/A
Genre: Horror
Running Time: 1h 23min
Night Kaleidoscope transforms Edinburgh's cobbled backstreets into a dark dreamscape brimming with supernatural menace. It's the perfect backdrop for Fion, a cynical psychic investigator who peddles his gift for anyone willing to pay. With abilities depleting, he must take powerful drugs to induce his visions and track down a pair of vampires terrorising the cities night population.
Vampire films are one of the foundations of Horror cinema. Many versions of this concept have graced both small and big screens. Throughout the years' writers and directors have sold their own version of these nocturnal deadly creatures. Megan Gretchen and Chris Purnell opted to bring a creative expression to vampires. Filmmaker Grant McPhee took this idea and developed a genre-defining blend of supernatural and psychological Horror.
Night Kaleidoscope is without debate one of the most stunning films in Horror cinema. The way this production conveys horror defies artistry and validates this opinion.
Critique Rundown
Originality / Redefining
Viewing Experience
Viewing Experience
Intriguing visuals and a lush soundtrack provide a near-perfect formula. A major contributor to the enigmatic art form is the editing. Scenes are not presented with standard grace. Instead, the production offers sliced and layered sequences to tell a story.
Night Kaleidoscope conveys an illusion of a dreamlike progression. This approach to visual storytelling combines the uncanny with creativity. Director Grant McPhee went to great lengths to blend a distorted visual conception of reality and the subconscious. McPhee used unorthodox camera angles to further amplify the unique quality to this film.
Mcphee's vision gives the impression of an extended music video. The film a captivating soundtrack, period. In fact, the soundscapes become the unofficial narrator in this film. With the limited dialogue from the cast, music guides the viewer from one scene to the next. The electronic soundscape is a combination of thick baselines and retro synths.
The cast did a marvelous job of giving life to their characters. Scenes consisted more on movement than the expression of dialogue. Each performance had a strong and believable on screen chemistry.
McPhee may have created a film a tad difficult to understand. Astute viewers will not have a problem in this arena. Yet for those distracted with ease, it becomes problematical. Developing sequences in the film will be tough to follow. To sum, Night Kaleidoscope requires undivided attention to best savor the narrative. An exchange of dialogue becomes a limited delivery. This also adds confusion to the developing story.

On September 27, 2019, the Pesticide Testing Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China made the tenth
revision to the list of approved herbicide products in Chinese agrochemical
companies. In particular, the list includes a pinoxaden formulation from Anhui
Yuanjing Corps Protection Co.,Ltd, which will become the third agrochemical
product that contains pinoxaden to be registered in China. On September 12,
2019, two companies in Anhui, namely Shanghewoda Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Keyuan Plant Protection Engineering Co., Ltd., also successfully
registered their products containing 10% and 5% pinoxaden, respectively.
Pinoxaden is an
herbicide developed by Syngenta, an agricultural company based in Basel,
Switzerland. The pesticide was listed in China in 2010 and it is mainly used
against weeds and protect grain fields in China. The use of pinoxaden in China
was restricted under a chemical compound patent belonging to Syngenta until
March 10, 2019.
With the
evolution of weeds in wheat fields in China, the increase in resistant and
malignant weeds, as well as the expiration of the patent of pinoxaden, many
companies in China have concentrated on the study, development and the testing
of their pinoxaden products since 2014. Until 2018, three agricultural
companies have successfully registered their pinoxaden products, and Anhui
Shanghewoda Biotechnology Co., Ltd. became the first Chinese company to
register its agrochemical product with 10% pinoxaden. The registration of this
product has been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of
China and became one of the herbicide products listed in the announcement.
pinoxaden is regarded as highly safe to use. When using pinoxaden to protect
crops, the herbicide does not need to be applied at strict intervals, and its
effectiveness is not affected by weather. Pinoxaden can also be used as a
supplement after crops have been treated with a different herbicide. As
pinoxaden seldom remains on plants after harvest, it is safe to be used with
plants such as grains, beans, and melons.
pinoxaden is a broad-spectrum herbicide which can be applied in a wide range of
planting areas. It is commonly used in barley fields as it is effective in
removing weeds which are harmful to wheat land.
pinoxaden can also be used to kill weeds which are resistant to the ALS
inhibitor herbicides such as Mesosulfuron-methyl and pyroxsulam. Compared to
the traditional ACCase inhibitor herbicides, like fenoxaprop-P-ethyl and
lodinafop-propargyl, pinoxaden contains a new chemical structure that even
defeats highly resistant weeds.
pinoxaden can be combined with other herbicides, no cases have been reported of
hazards related to mixing pinoxaden with other chemicals. Furthermore, there
are no known instances of pinoxaden interfering significantly with other
wheat farmers have reported difficulty in removing poaeceae weeds from wheat
fields due to a gradual increase in pesticide resistance in these weeds. By
implementing pinoxaden-based pesticides, the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui,
Henan, and Shandong may be able to increase agricultural output significantly,
with improved output of various wheats and oats in particular. By utilizing
pinoxaden to reduce weeds on farmland, China stands to increase its output of
food and agricultural products, and this herbicide will play an important role
in China's food industries.

monthly newsletter Herbicides

#80 The Shawshank Redemption
(1994, Frank Darabont)
"Get busy living or get busy dying"
Here we go! One of the list's major contenders for "the best movie of all time". Frequently battling The Godfather for supremacy at the top of IMDb's Top 250, this is a film that requires significant scrutiny. Remember, one major aspect of this blog is to really look at the greatest films of all time and see if they really deserve all that attention. And with Shawshank way up there, it's going to require extra scrutiny.
It's 1947, and Andy Dusfrene (Tim Robbins) has been sentenced to life in Shawshank prison in Maine (why yes, this is based on a Stephen King story, why do you ask?) for allegedly killing his wife. The film is an account of his experiences within the prison, and his friendship with Red (Morgan Freeman), a man who knows how to get things. Using his banking knowledge to befriend the guards, Dusfrene does everything he can to make prison life easier for himself, clinging to the hope that someday he'll get out.
So, let's start with the bad stuff. After all, I want to pick apart the film and criticise it, lower it down from its "one of the greatest movies ever" status. So what's bad about it?
Um…well…Morgan Freeman doing voiceover for most of the movie is kind of a cliché. But he's good at voiceovers, so that's not all bad. OK, well, the guards can sometimes seem excessively mean, to the point of being caricatures. It's also a little slow…but since the story is supposed to be representing the tedium of being locked away in prison for decades, I suppose that one can be let off too.
And that's about it. OK, fine, The Shawshank Redemption is a fantastic movie. I loved every minute of it. As I said, yes, it's slow, but it's a good artistic choice. It never feels boring or drawn out. Every moment of the movie has its place. We genuinely feel the passage of time throughout the story, but it never keeps us waiting.
The performances are excellent. Morgan Freeman is excellent as always, making his character more than just a simple narrator of Dusfrene's life in Shawshank, while Robbins manages to command a screen presence through a character that is largely unassuming and quiet. The rest of the support cast are also brilliant, all bringing a range of personalities to the screen. Even the performances from Clancy Brown as a sadistic guard and Bob Gunton as the corrupt prison warden are enjoyable despite their fairly one-dimensional characters.
But despite the flatness of their characters, it's the friendship between Dusfrene and Red that makes up for it. As the central relationship of the movie, any slip-up here would have ruined everything, but Robbins and Freeman have a genuine chemistry and work off each other well. I cannot think of any real criticism in their joint performance.
In fact, this is the problem I'm having with this review. The movie is a brilliant exploration of the strength of the human spirit and the power of friendship in unlikely places. It's certainly a movie that must be seen before you die. I really did look for flaws, but struggled to find any. Sure, it won't really win over the kind of filmgoer who likes their explosions and car chases, but that's hardly damning criticism.
What are you waiting for? Get busy watching this movie or get busy dying!
Starring Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows & James Whitmore
Written by Stephen King (short story – Rita Hayworth & The Shawshank Redemption) & Frank Darabont
Produced by Niki Marvin
Music score by Thomas Newman
Cinematography by Roger Deakins
Edited by Richard Francis-Bruce
Favourite Scene: When Dusfrene confronts the guards with a proposition to help him with his banking. It's ballsy and it's a victory for everyone, hard not to love it
Scene That Bugged Me: Wait, so, I get that Dusfrene escapes through a tunnel, but how did he replace the poster covering it, and for what purpose?
Watch it if: You wanna get busy livin'
Avoid it if: You plan on escaping from seeing it via a tunnel hidden behind a Rita Hayworth poster

Scottsdale is a veritable treasure trove for tourists, but taking in the glorious landscape and rich heritage of this desert town can be time consuming. Unfortunately, most people don't have days and days to explore the area. Many visitors can only spend one day touring Scottsdale, but is it possible to enjoy a well-rounded experience in such a short amount of time? It is if you know where to go.
The Sonoran Desert
No matter what you're interested in, you cannot spend the day in Scottsdale without basking in the desert surroundings. The Sonoran has one of the most diverse biological environments in the entire country and is definitely worth a good chunk of your time. Head to the desert early in the morning so that you can witness nature coming to life as the beautiful flora and fauna greet the day.
Arizona Outback Adventures
A casual stroll through the desert allows you to slow down and coexist with the curious wildlife and unusual plant life. However, if you're looking for a more fast-paced and exciting desert tour, Arizona Outback Adventures will exceed your expectations. Go on a thrilling guided river tour, maneuver an off-road bicycle across rugged terrain, or hike along the edge of a stunning mountain cliff. Each adventure offers breathtaking views of the expansive landscape.
Troon North Golf Club
Scottsdale is known for its visually dramatic golf courses, so be sure to make time for a quick round. Even if you've never picked up a club, you can still play through the flawless landscape at Troon North Golf Club. The grounds are immaculate with stunning ravines winding through charming foothills. Towering mountains surround the courses, and the terrain is peppered with desert plants in just about every shade of green.
Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West
The story of the American West is fascinating, and it's part of what makes Scottsdale and the surrounding areas so special. Western Spirit brings the past to life and pays tribute to the people and events that shaped Arizona and a dozen other states. The museum features galleries that highlight the culture, artistry and history of the Old West, and it includes unique temporary exhibitions as well.
Mozaik Skin & Body
After spending the afternoon on your feet, you'll want to pamper yourself. Scottsdale has a wide range of luxury spas, but Mozaik is one of the most affordable options. You'll immediately find your inner Zen when you enter this quaint, pristine and tranquil day spa. You can choose from a variety of services, including a luscious hydra-facial and soothing hot-stone massage. You'll leave Mozaik feeling spiritually and physically renewed.
5th Avenue Arts District
The art scene in Scottsdale is so vibrant and dynamic; it's a must for your itinerary. The best place to soak up some of this culture is the 5th Avenue Arts District. As you wander around the mega-block of eclectic art galleries, boutiques and restaurants, you'll experience a storybook sense of wonder. The ambiance is incredibly laid back and inviting. Because the district is small, you can easily fit a tour into your day.
The exclamation mark at the end of your visit should include some delicious food, thirst-quenching drinks and stimulating conversation. Scottsdale nightlife is infamous, so you won't have any trouble choosing a venue. The downtown area is packed with high-quality eateries, lounges, clubs and wine bars. Once you decide where to top off your desert adventure, you and your traveling companions can sit back, unwind and reflect on your Scottsdale escapades.
Thank you for reading our blog, have a fantastic day

Prison Tales
Leaders and Pickpockets
As someone has said coffee connects us in so many ways, so did the hubble-bubble connect generation ahead of us in our childhood. Those days' many tailor shops in our downtown, were no less than the fashionable Coffee House, on the Residency Road were wits, poets and "politicians" met in the morning to enjoy hot cups of coffee and talk politics- of course pooh-poohing the resistance movement used to be best of their pastime.
In and around our locality many tailor shops just before the dusk started filling up with clouds of smoke coming out of the hubble-bubble and buzzed with wide-ranging political discussions, from cold war politics to Soviet Russia's veto in the United Nations. One, of the tailor shops, were from our family got clothes made, was the best haunt for the resistance workers- some of them had been jailed many times since the early thirties, some had suffered long incarcerations after 1947 and 1953. Nonetheless, all of them had their bunch of prison stories to share with those sitting in the shop and enjoying puffs of smoke amidst musical sounds coming out of engraved copper 'Jajeer'. Talking about their atrocious times behind the high walls, some told their stories as painfully and eloquently as immortalised by Faiz Ahmad Faiz and Mahmoud Darwish. And for changing the sombre mood, some flavoured them with spicy jokes about political detainees and inmates.
During the winter vacations, one of my best pastimes was visiting our Tailors shop in the ground floor of his two-story modest house for getting my putto pheran, and pair flannel shirts and pyjamas stiched – that used to be the dress of all native children during winters. From the day of giving a measurement for the clothes to tailor keeping our winter dress ready my siblings and I frequented his shop many times. I loved sitting in the shop, watching young apprentices making buttonholes with small needles and stitching buttons and listening to the loud arguments and counter-arguments of the political workers and other elders on the political situation. Most of the discussions went over my head. Nonetheless, it was stories about the jail life by some senior political workers, more particularly stories about the burglars (Saani-Tchor) and pickpockets (Chanda-Tchor) that attracted my attention the most.
That, one superintendent of jail set free some notorious burglars at the fall of night, and after committing thefts, they returned to the prison in wee hours before the barracks were unlatched, and the burglars shared the booty with the superintended and other top jail staff'. These stories stunned me the most and made me believe what Foucault has said, 'prison is a recruitment centre for the army of crime.' Nevertheless, lots of other stories that these workers of the resistance movement shared made me believe 'prisons are a socialist paradise were equality prevails.' Strangest of all the stories were about engaging criminals serving life imprisonment, burglars and pickpockets as Khid'maate ( personal attendants) and cooks of the top and middle-rung leaders of the Plebiscite Front and other organisations that were part of the resistance movement in the mid-fifties and the sixties. For their proficiency in cooking some known burglars, like Qadir Chahan and Mohammad Gama and pickpockets like Rehman and Gaffara were asked for from the Central Jail by top leaders detained in special jail or sub-jails. For their being in and out of prison, the Srinagar Central Jail was a second home for these criminals, and serving as Khid'maate one or other top resistance leader had become a badge of honour for them- and they bragged about it.
These criminals (Khid'maate) in the company of these leaders were not reformed, but as the Kashmiri adage goes, if you sit on a blacksmith's shop a spark is bound to touch you, they had got acquainted with nuances of Kashmir politics and could eloquently talk about it. But, for the social stigma, they could pass as intelligent political workers. During, our days at the campus, one of the burglars (reformed) who had served as Khidmat had opened a tea shop outside the headquarters of a resistance organisation besides having come up as an important centre of informed political discussions; it also had become the hub of student politics.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly English Dub Trailer 2 Revealed at NYCC
At the New York Comic Con event happening this weekend, a second trailer for the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie was revealed. After seeing a Japanese audio trailer, we now have an English dub version of it.
The English dub trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Broly shows the exact same things, although the characters obviously speak English.
There has been a lot of talk among the Dragon Ball fandom how this new trailer retcons the original Dragon Ball storyline.
For one thing, it shows Goku seeing Bardock and his mother saying good bye to them. In the original series, Goku never really saw his parents because he was too young to know anything.
The movie also retcons Vegeta's past and hints that Vegeta and Goku are the same age. This is another change because in the Dragon Ball Z manga it's stated that Vegeta is a few years older than Goku.
Anyway, the biggest thing about the movie is the fact that Broly will officially be canon in the Dragon Ball timeline. Before, the character just appeared in a non canonical movie that didn't fit in the official timeline.
It will be interesting to see what fans think of the movie with all these changes put into it. It's sure caused a lot of fans to feel confused, although the movie itself shouldn't disappoint.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly releases in Japan first on December 14th, 2018. After that, the movie will be released on January 16th, 2019 in various countries around the world. Check out the new trailer posted down below.

Emergence of the web and online computing applications gave rich data on human social activity that can be represented in a form of an interaction graph. One of the principal challenges then is to build models and understanding of the structure of such large networks. In this talk I will present our work on the cluster or community structure in large networks, where clusters are thought of as sets of nodes that are better connected internally than to the rest of the network. We find that large networks have very different clustering structure from well studied small social networks and graphs that are well-embeddable in a low-dimensional structure. In networks of millions of nodes tight clusters exist at only very small size scales up to around 100 nodes, while at large size scales networks becomes expander like. As this behavior is not explained, even at a qualitative level, by any of the commonly-used network generation models I will then present a network model based on Kronecker products that is able to produce graphs exhibiting a network structure similar to our observations.

• Getting married in summer 2019?
• Want to know the latest wedding lingerie trends?
• Look no further!
Our lingerie expert and founder Jayne has put together the hottest trends in wedding lingerie 2019, and shows how you can buy the look for less, right here at Baby Jane Lingerie.
Built-in bustiers for wedding dresses
Now this is not so much a trend as a reality! Most 2019 wedding dresses have a bustier built in, giving you that elegant shape and keeping your dress nice and firm throughout the day!
So, good news, the bride of 2019 doesn't actually need a bridal bustier for the day! Instead you can choose whatever lingerie you feel comfortable in during the day, to wear under your dress. In fact, we'd suggest something lacy and (dare we say) comfortable worn with sheer stockings and a garter belt, as you'll be either sitting or standing for quite some time.
After dark lingerie
When you change out of your dress, at whatever point in the day, that's when your lingerie can change from pretty and functional to personal and sexy! It could be you want to change to dance at your party (wedding dresses can take up half a dance floor on their own!), or into a 'going away' outfit for your first night together as a married couple.
So, Jayne has hand-picked on-trend wedding lingerie that will be wonderful for your wedding day, and nicely naughty for your wedding night!
Trend #1 • Lace wedding lingerie
Lace is such a timeless classic for a wedding, it seems a shame just to wear it on your dress or as a veil! No wonder lace is a hot trend for wedding lingerie, combining the lightest of touch with the prettiest of patterns.
When Jayne saw the 'Bouquet of Flowers' bra and panty set, she knew it would be perfect for a summer bride. Pretty, gentle and barely-there, it's feminine and alluring.
Add the fine tulle skirt for an extra swish of glamour with its 3D floral detailing and satin ribbon ties.
Trend #2 • Feminine Babydolls
Keeping with the pretty feminine theme, pastel shades are definitely in, especially in babydolls.
Flattering to all shapes, babydolls are ideal for that first night with just enough demure styling and detailing to gently tease.
Our pastel pink babydoll features tempting details including a removable choker strap, a revealing back – and a naughty little crotchless G string!
Can you resist? We certainly can't!
Trend #3 • Pretty Teddies
Teddies have always been popular for brides, but this year's trend is for, you guessed it, pretty and feminine designs that flatter the figure.
Look for:
• Classic lace details such as our white bridal teddy with eyelash lace panel
• Stunning designs with extra details, such as our halter neck teddy in blossom pink, with criss cross details
• Fusion designs featuring lace and mesh, such as our Modern Love teddy with lace trim, gold hardware and beautiful back strap detailing.
Trend #4 • Pastel Pink
Pastels are a huge trend in bridal lingerie at the moment, and nothing says 'blushing bride' more than a dusky pink negligée or piece of lingerie.
From the many pastel pink items available online at Baby Jane Lingerie, Jayne has picked out the Alice Chemise, an exquisite look with satin and eyelash lace set in both front and side panels.
A truly gorgeous item that should be on every bride's shopping list!
Trend #5 • Beautiful Bustiers
Okay, we know we said that bustiers were not usually required under a wedding dress.
That doesn't mean to say they're not required at all!
Again, the trend is for beauty – beauty of fabric, design and detailing. Jayne has singled out the Bridal Lace Bustier, a gorgeous combination of stretch lace and padded cups.
This beautiful bustier features boning and attached garters, and simple centre back hook and eye closing.
There's even a removable waist sash with rhinestone flowers to flatter your figure.
We love it – we're sure you will too!
Trend #6 • Satin
Satin is the on-trend fabric your skin would choose; silky smooth, elegant, timeless.
It drapes and fall in all the right places, for a fluid and elegant look that feels fantastic.
For the first of many 'nights in white satin', choose our simply divine white satin bridal chemise.
Smooth, soft, and just right.
What more could you ask for?
Need more bridal lingerie inspiration?
Grab a glass of something lovely and browse our bridal lingerie collection (https://babyjanelingerie.co.uk/product-category/bridal-collection/) including bridal babydolls, bustiers, chemise, corset and wedding robes.
Want to try on wedding lingerie in the privacy of your own home?
Now you can! Book an exclusive 1-2-1 bridal lingerie consultation with our Boutique at Home service. Or get the girls round for the evening and indulge in lots of lingerie loveliness and laughter!

I am sure that the replacement of Photoswipe will fit my needs but if it didn't for some odd reason can I save my CE3 set up and templates please?
just save the setup in the Template Browser.
Don't uninstall the CE3 plug-ins

Just a user with way too much time on his hands.
ttg-tips.com, Backlight 2/3 test site
Thanks Rod,
I like the new Touch - so far anyway.
I loaded it into LR4 v4.2
Previously I ran it under LR3 and I think that was faster converting the web pages.
I know LR4 was a problem initially. Does anyone have a view on whether I'd be better to go back to LR3?
Much as I wish that Lightroom were not becoming slower and more bloated with each subsequent release, rolling back to previous versions is generally not recommended.
Rolling back from LR4 to LR3 would be particularly bad, as the two have very different Develop processes. Any Develop adjustments made in LR4 using the 2012 process would be lost.
As for rolling back for Photoswipe, that is also inadvisable. We abandoned Photoswipe 3 because it was basically falling apart on newer mobile devices, due to lack of upkeep by its developer. I applied as many band-aids as I could to keep it viable, but life-support is failing.
The Turning Gate, http://theturninggate.net
Thanks Matthew,
Presumably CE4 runs on LR3?
I don't use LR to Develop as I use Qimage for my RAWs. I add a touch of contrast, saturation and sharpen, with LR3 as it is my view that the converting to web does degrade my jpgs a bit. But that is all I need from LR and I even delete the catalogues regularly as I hate the way it blocks the re-use of a file in a new group of images.
I'll test the speed, assuming the answer to the above was Yes, and if the timing is strongly in favour of LR3 I'll revert to it - and post my results here.
No I would never go back to Photoswipe. Your new system seemed stable on the various devices I tried yesterday and that's what I need.
It is interesting (and to me odd) that there is still nothing in jAlbum that offers a decent swipe. I tried everything on offer from them about a year ago and drew a blank. For interest I spent a bit of time earlier this week looking around and there is still nothing there that is not flawed in one way or another. So Well Done Matthew. You have cornered the market for people needing swipe and not wanting to commit themselves to specific servers.
I did find another web creator that offered swipe - but it seems that does not work when a tablet/phone is held in portrait mode. So that is useless for me and anyway the amount of control it offers on page design is extremely crude.
Thanks for your interest Matthew.
Thanks, Tony.
jAlbum has never impressed me much. Something about their entire system seems to be fundamentally off.
CE4 should work in LR3, I believe, but I don't regularly test it in versions older than LR4.
The Turning Gate, http://theturninggate.net
I converted a batch of 37 jpgs to a TTG web folder in LR3 and it took 2 mins 46 secs.
The same template (a CE4 one) took only 2 mins and 12 secs in LR4.
I was surprised but it does mean that I will immediately work with LR4.

LOS ANGELES, February 2, 2014 – Cooking for one or two? Cooking for one presents challenges because most don't want to make a mess, recipes in general are written for four and spending a lot of time after a hard day of work isn't desirable. The Mastrad Gourmet Minute-Cooker helps to cook quick in a felxible minute. The Minute Cooker is a "Silicone and porcelain crate that cooks a combination of steamed veggies and meats within minutes."
It claims to take cooking for one, cooking in a hurry and cooking quick side dishes to another level warranting testing by the Hail Mary kitchens.
The Quick Cook Test
We tested zucchinis and cinnamon apples.
The Zucchinis Test:
Step 1: We placed 6.5 tablespoons of water into the silicone bottom,
Step 2: We placed the porcelain dish into the silicone base.
Step 3: We diced the amount of zucchinis indicated (3.52 oz a little over a ¼ cup) and placed them into the porcelain dish.
Step 4: We then placed and sealed the lid on top of the base.
Step 5: We guessed the amount of time (2 minutes rather than 3 minutes) because our microwave was 1000 watts and the instructions only gave times for 850 watts.
The Zucchinis were not quite cooked so we put them back in for 30 more seconds. The zucchinis with soft but firm, moist with out being overly wet.
The Apples with Cinnamon and honey Test:
Step1: We Peeled the apple.
Step 2: We sliced the apple into thin strips.
Step 3: We added water to the silicone base.
Step 4: We added the apples to the porcelain dish.
Step 5: We placed the lid over the base.
Step 6: We guessed the amount of time for the cinnamon apples 1 minute 30 seconds rather than the 2 minutes that was given.
Step 7: We squeezed lemon, cinnamon and honey and placed it back in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Step 8: we let them sit for two minutes.
The apples were soft but had a crunch. They were flavorful but there was a lot of shrinkage with this cooking process.
First, Gourmet Minute-Cooker is easy to use and simple to store.
Second, The porcelain dish is fantastic because you can serve directly out of it.
Third, it's easy to clean.
Fourth, despite that the directions aren't perfect it's still pretty easy to get delicious and perfectly cooked food.
First, The silicone lid and base doesn't feel secure.
Second, the directions aren't perfect which means you will have to experiment a little with the product to get to the desirable outcome.
Overall Rating: 3/4 cup out of 1 cup. The Gourmet Minute-Cooker is a good buy for those who are cooking for one, moms and empty nesters.
Purchasing Info: The Gourmet Minute- Cooker can be purchased at Shop Mastrad for $29.99.

|The phyllospheric microbiota is assumed to play a key role in the metabolism of host plants. Its role in determining the epiphytic and internal plant metabolome, however, remains to be investigated. We analyzed the Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) profiles of the epiphytic and internal metabolomes of the leaves and flowers of Sambucus nigra with and without external antibiotic treatment application. The epiphytic metabolism showed a degree of complexity similar to that of the plant organs. The suppression of microbial communities by topical applications of antibiotics had a greater impact on the epiphytic metabolome than on the internal metabolomes of the plant organs, although even the latter changed significantly both in leaves and flowers. The application of antibiotics decreased the concentration of lactate in both epiphytic and organ metabolomes, and the concentrations of citraconic acid, acetyl-CoA, isoleucine, and several secondary compounds such as terpenes and phenols in the epiphytic extracts. The metabolite pyrogallol appeared in the floral epiphytic community only after the treatment. The concentrations of the amino acid precursors of the ketoglutarate-synthesis pathway tended to decrease in the leaves and to increase in the foliar epiphytic extracts. These results suggest that anaerobic and/or facultative anaerobic bacteria were present in high numbers in the phyllosphere and in the apoplasts of S. nigra. The results also show that microbial communities play a significant role in the metabolomes of plant organs and could have more complex and frequent mutualistic, saprophytic, and/or parasitic relationships with internal plant metabolism than currently assumed.

Kolkata: The West Bengal government has declined to give permission to Amit Shah's rath yatra.
The rath yatra is proposed to be held at Cooch Behar ground. The WB government has denied permission to BJP president Amit Shah's proposed rally as it might cause communal tension.
The advocate general Kishore Dutta informed the Calcutta High Court on Thursday in this connection.
Amit Shah is scheduled to kick start the party's 'Save Democracy Rally', comprising three 'rath yatras', in the state.
The BJP has said that it will hold peaceful yatras.
When the judge asked who will take responsibility if anything untoward happens, BJP counsel Anindya Mitra submitted that the party will hold a peaceful rally. He, however, added that it is the duty of the state government to maintain law and order.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada-based melodic death metallers THE AGONIST have released their first group photo featuring new vocalist Vicky Psarakis. The band tapped acclaimed photographer Von Wong to bring its new single, "Disconnect Me", to life.
THE AGONIST guitarist Danny Marino says: "After working with Von Wong on our 'Prisoners' photo shoot, we knew he was the only one that could realize our vision for 'Disconnect Me'. It was an 18-hour shoot, but at the end of the day it was more than we could have hoped for."
The official lyric video for "Disconnect Me" can be seen below.
THE AGONIST last week announced the addition of Vicky Psarakis to the group's ranks. Vicky joined THE AGONIST as the replacement for Alissa White-Gluz, who left the band to focus on her new gig as the frontwoman of ARCH ENEMY.
Commented THE AGONIST in a statement: "We announce that after three albums and countless tours, we officially part ways with vocalist Alissa White-Gluz. We wish Alissa all the best with ARCH ENEMY and her future endeavors.
"It is the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for THE AGONIST! We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to the THE AGONIST family. Please give a warm welcome to very talented vocalist Vicky Psarakis!"
THE AGONIST's third album, "Prisoners", debuted at No. 19 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"Prisoners", was released on June 4, 2012 in Europe and June 5, 2012 in North America via Century Media Records. The CD was produced by Christian Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY) and mixed by Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, DARK TRANQUILLITY, SUICIDE SILENCE) and it "picks right up where 2009's 'Lullabies For The Dormant Mind' left off, with soaring melodies over complex metal passages that fans of thinking-man's metal can appreciate," according to a press release.

Africa in $12bn energy deal as conservationists raise red flag over dams
Africa was presented with its largest energy deal ever - a $12 billion package from the Africa Development Bank - as some leaders fought off pressure from environmentalists concerned about the threat of an impending construction boom of power dams, reiterating their position that the continent was simply tired of being in the dark.
Under the new deal, which was announced during the ADB's annual meeting in Lusaka last week, which ran under the theme Energy and Climate Change, the bank will spend $12 billion over five years. In addition, the bank will leverage at least $40 billion from other private sector players, such as sovereign wealth funds, private equity funds and pension funds, to invest in the energy sector as it tries to meet one of the key components in its High Five development agenda.
The High Five agenda includes: Light up Africa, Feed Africa, Industrialise Africa, Integrate Africa, and Improve the quality of life.
But with the threat of drastic weather changes such as droughts and floods, some conservationists say the construction of power dams will add to a problem that is already getting out of hand, inflicting devastating impact on Africa's poor.
Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland, and an ardent environmentalist, cautioned African governments to think of the poor and how they bare the deepest impact of climate change. She said the development of sources of energy in Africa that are not clean, such as coal, will go further to increase the problem of climate change.
Some African leaders did not fall for this vibe.
"I am an environmentalist," Olusegun Obasanjo, the former president of Nigeria, said at a panel of discussion over the new energy deal, before adding: "But I will not keep the environment clean at the expense of keeping poverty in Africa."

Secretary Pritzker Forgets About Steel Users
Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker authored an Aug. 12, 2016, opinion piece in the on‐line version of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that emphasizes her desire to protect the steel industry from import competition. She states, "We take seriously our ongoing responsibility to combat unfair trade that threatens the viability of this industry and the good people in our steel‐making communities." Pritzker notes that at the Department of Commerce, "Currently, we are enforcing 161 anti‐dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) cases on steel products to combat the countries, like China, that are trying to dump steel on our market."
There is no doubt that steel producers are being affected by global steel overcapacity, as I have noted here, here, and here. Much of the overcapacity is due to China's use of various policy measures to stimulate steel industry expansion. In 1995, China produced 95 million metric tons (MMT) of steel, equal to the amount produced in the United States. Twenty years later in 2015, Chinese production had risen more than eight‐fold to 803 MMT. U.S. production decreased 17 percent over that same period, amounting to 79 MMT in 2015. Global production more than doubled, rising from 753 MMT in 1995 to over 1600 MMT today. The boost in China's output exceeded 700 MMT and accounted for more than 80 percent of the increase for the entire world. It is reasonable to conclude that China's actions have been the most important factor in glutting the global steel market.
A world marketplace so strongly influenced by government policies can hardly be described as fair. The effects of the steel surplus are felt around the globe, including in the United States. U.S. steel producers have been dealing with relatively low‐priced imports from a number of countries. They have responded by filing many AD/CVD petitions, which helps to explain Sec. Pritzker's statement about her role in "enforcing 161 AD/CVD cases." Those measures restrict the importation of a variety of steel products from numerous countries. They have succeeded in making the United States a somewhat high‐priced island in a world awash with low‐priced steel. The AD/CVD restrictions apparently haven't been sufficient, though, to ensure the profitability of American steel producers. United States Steel Corporation reported a loss of $1.5 billion in 2015.
However, what Sec. Pritzker ignores is that efforts to restrict imports to the benefit of steel producers come at the expense of steel users. U.S. manufacturing firms that use steel as an input have to pay prices that are higher than those paid by competitors located in other countries. This makes steel‐consuming manufacturers vulnerable to losing sales to lower‐priced imported goods that compete with them in the U.S. marketplace. Economists long have understood that imposing trade restrictions lowers the economic welfare of the country that puts them in place. Since the steel‐consuming sector is so much larger than the steel‐producing sector, the welfare losses for the overall U.S. economy are magnified.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is part of Sec. Pritzker's Department of Commerce. BEA data indicate that value added by "primary metal manufacturing" amounted to $59.7 billion in 2014. (Note: Primary metal manufacturing [NAICS 331] includes nonferrous metals, such as copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead, tin, silver, and gold, so is much broader than the steel industry.) Downstream manufacturers that utilize steel as an input generate value added of $990 billion, more than 16 times larger than primary metal industries. The disparity in employment also is more than 16 times greater. Primary metal manufacturing employed 400,000 people in 2014. Downstream manufacturers employed 6.5 million. Employment by U.S. steel producers is somewhere in the range of 100,000 – 150,000.
The point is not that the U.S. steel industry is small and insignificant, because clearly it is not. Rather, the point is that the problems of the steel industry need to be kept in perspective. The bottom line is that it would be a poor policy choice to attempt to protect steel producers in ways that do much greater harm to steel users. Those who wish to provide policy support for the steel industry should look for approaches that do not involve restricting trade.

In 2019, Public Works staff and TranspoGroup consultants are engaged in a comprehensive corridor study to examine alternatives to converting 1.07-mile of the James Street corridor from Orchard Drive to Kellogg Road from a narrow rural roadway to an urban corridor with facilities for people walking, biking and riding WTA transit buses. Due to significant environmental and critical area features (streams, wetlands, forest habitat, steep slopes) along both sides of the James Street corridor, it may be necessary to provide walkways, bikeways and transit space in a variety of ways, with both traditional and non-traditional alternatives being examined and assessed for benefits and costs to construct. The project team will engage the public and seek input at an open house event and at King Mountain Neighborhood Association meetings during the course of the feasibility study. Ultimately, a "recommended alternative(s)" will be identified, which will allow Public Works to then seek state and federal grant funding for construction in future years.

What Price is Peace of Mind to a Business?
What Does a Business Do Should It Need Emergency Funds, and Quickly?
There's no bank facility in place. There's not enough working capital to cover it. Panic?
Well no actually; not if your business has Calverton Finance's ICON facility in place.
However, much a business plans and prepares for any unexpected 'blips'; an unforeseen bill, an equipment breakdown, or a surprise seasonal dip, sometimes we can all get caught out and find ourselves short of vital funds.
Yet, Where Does the Money Come From?
Well, there's no such worry for businesses that have the ICON – In Case Of Need – facility in place. The emergency funding facility that has been prearranged to provide immediate access to funds in a crisis situation.
Take, for Example, Calverton's Client, Design Rule Limited
This is a long-established and highly successful business. They have had the ICON facility in place for over 4 years. As, Managing Director, Bob Hillier, explains, it brings them financial security 'just in case'; knowing that the money is there should they ever need it.
"As with any business, we can experience seasonal lows. We are able to manage these throughout the year rather successfully, however, there's always that risk that one year we will be hit harder than usual from a seasonal low – especially in these somewhat turbulent economic times."
"We'd had an invoice factoring arrangement with a major high street bank however it became far too expensive as our business changed and didn't need the day-day cashflow it provided. Yet, as we expanded and our business grew, we wanted the reassurance that emergency funds could be put in place 'just in case'."
Access to Funds
"What we wanted was access to funds should we need them. We weren't planning on drawing on them. It was more like an insurance policy, if you will. Sadly, the bank was inflexible with their offering; what's more, it was hugely expensive."
"That's where Calverton Finance stepped in. Their ICON facility was exactly what we were after. We wanted to pre-arrange access to cashflow as and when we might need it. We didn't want to be paying huge amounts for money we weren't using. With ICON you don't. There's a very small, monthly fee. Yet what price is the peace of mind this brings us? It's priceless!"
"Having the ICON in place negates any arranging of panic loans or overdraft facilities. Were we ever to use the facility, because it's already been arranged, we'd get access to it within 24 hours! Bear in mind a lot can happen to a business in that small-time frame, we know we'll be OK!"
What are the Benefits with Working with Calverton Finance?
"One of the key benefits in with working with Calverton Finance is that decisions to arrange the ICON facility were done so quickly. We like the fact that decisions can be made at a local level. We like the personal service they offer and the fact we are treated like people, not a number by a busy call centre."
"I'd certainly recommend Calverton Finance's ICON facility to any businesses wanting a flexible and cost-effective peace of mind, finance insurance policy."
