New ideas for a UK-based citizen science project are being sought by Earthwatch.
We are looking to develop and support a new flagship project that meaningfully involves members of the public in data collection. The project must contribute new knowledge to scientific priorities and inform plans or policies to improve management and stewardship of biodiversity, ecosystems or land/seascapes.
The project will engage and inspire the public, increase awareness, and foster pro-conservation behaviour and environmental stewardship. We are looking to collaborate with project leaders who have a strong interest in science communication and public engagement to facilitate interactions and outcomes beyond academia.

Ken and Margaret Mallory each joined an Earthwatch Expedition looking for adventure and new experiences. They ended up finding each other. The couple, now married for over 30 years, met on the Pokot: Kenya expedition in 1974, where they joined anthropologist Dr. Jean Brown to research the Pokot, one of Kenya's indigenous tribes.

Who wants 10TB of FREE cloud storage? Hands down if China is a deal breaker?
Chinese web giant Tencent has vowed to offer 10TB cloud storage accounts to international users free of charge. The company hopes to launch the data-archiving service worldwide in 2014 using the English language. It opened its doors in China in August, and can be accessed from desktop computers as well as mobile devices using …
One Million Troll Points
to Tencent if they host their archival storage in the US instead of China!
Re: One Million Troll Points
Looks like their intention!
"To put privacy concerns at ease, Zheng tells Pandodaily that the international data will probably be stored on servers outside of China — in the same way that Tencent's messaging service WeChat uses servers in the US and Southeast Asia."
Here is price list you requested
All I've ever seen from Tencent is phishing-like spam for Chinese parts suppliers. It would be awfully hard to use may free 10TB when they're firewalled.
Does China render, torture and bypass due process western citizens with the full support of western governments?
No, China is not, *as yet*, a deal breaker.
If my government ever crawls up the Chinese rectum, as it does the US, then may be.
Thing is, I only care about being spied on if it can have a negative effect on my life. As I type, the Chinese have no power over me. Unfortunately, some how, I am expected to follow not just UK law, but US law too. Not so with Chinese law. So, for me, the risk of the Chinese spying on me is virtually non existent. The risk I face from the US, how ever......
For me it's almost a deal clincher!
Not only do I get the benefit of not having to worry about US legal tentacles and Chinese spying for the reasons you describe, but given China's attitude towards intellectual property enforcement I'd be able to use it to store all my DRM-free music, movies and TV shows without worrying about being prosecuted for doing so - and give access to my family and friends besides!
I still wouldn't use it to replace my local storage though, more as an access-anywhere adjunct. Not to mention that with my ISP data usage plan at 150 GB per month it would take me over 2 months to upload that much...
Actually, I can see the copyright lobby giving birth to dinosaur-sized kittens over this, because inevitably the most popular use of such a generous storage space allocation will be pirate downloads on a scale to make even bittorrent pale into insignificance!
you lost me at cloud
but I'll pay shipping if they want to send me 10TB worth of disk drives.
I'd give it a shot.
A secondary cloud backup facility wouldn't be a bad thing to have, especially since I'm encrypting everything client-side anyway.
It's a tasty offer ...
but even at 10 Terabytes, you'll likely be feeling peckish 30 minutes later.
What's the issue?
Hey - I don't see an issue with using it as an online storage / backup for my thousands of photographs. What should I care if 'they' want to look at them - whoever 'they' may be?
I would never store sensitive documents of any kind in the Cloud, no matter who owned the server or where it was located. That would be just foolish
Hmm, China would be better actually
It's probably a lot harder for the Chinese agencies to affect my life in a bad way than it is for the US ones.
Why should China be a deal breaker?
I'm going to encrypt everything I store remotely anyway. If they can break AES cheaply, they probably have all my data by now anyway. 10TB for free sounds like an awesome deal.
Sounds great
WOuld want to see the EULA though... Don't want photo's of my kids appearing on a bill-board somewhere - well, not without a large cheque first, anyway!
With appropriate encryption of my own choice, why not?
The fact is that I would trust Google or Amazon about the same as I'd trust a random Chinese company. You think the US couldn't just subpoena them and get my data already? That's precisely the scandal in the news at the moment.
But if you apply encryption YOURSELF to all data that goes to the cloud, then it honestly does not matter where it's stored. You could offer copies of it on street corners to random people. That's precisely the *point* of encryption.
In fact, I'd say, like the "sledgehammer to the server" test of your backups, if in theory you WEREN'T prepared to give encrypted copies of your data to anyone, then it probably means you have zero confidence in your backups / encryption and THAT'S the problem, not who you might give it to. Of course, you wouldn't, because they have no need, but in theory you should be able to without worry.
And if we're talking home use - well, unless you're doing something of concern to the Chinese, I can't imagine it's any worse than doing something of concern to the US. At least China doesn't demand that their law applies in the UK, for instance...

Mumbaikars, who take pride in telling others that their city is safe for women and never miss the opportunity at cracking a joke at Delhi's expense, might not have much to say now in the light of the brutal gangrape of a photojournalist. Despite claims, statistics from the Mumbai Police website tell a different story of the safety of women in Maximum Mumbai
So far this year (January to July), a total of 186 rape cases (both of adult and minor victims) have been registered and 168 of these cases have been detected by the police
From January to July this year, 1686 cases of crimes against women (that include rape, kidnapping, outraging or intended insult to modesty, dowry, harassment, murder) have been registered and 1176 cases have been detected
The city saw a 45% increase in sexual harrassment cases in 2012 as compared to 2011. Mumbai ranks only behind Delhi in the city that witnesses the largest number of rape cases in India. (All statistics here were sourced from the Mumbai Police website -> http://mumbaipolice.maharashtra.gov.in)

We knew it already but, after her third appearance spoofing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live this weekend, Tina Fey is officially the Funniest Woman on the Planet. Anyone who sat through Palin's real TV appearance on Friday, where she took on Joe Biden in the Vice Presidential Debate (think: George-from-Rainbow amounts of eye-lash batting, smiling and talking about 'mavericks' every time she didn't know the answer to a question, winking at her dad in the audience, and giving a shout-out to the Alaskan third-graders back home in Wasilla who she hoped would get extra credits for watching her on TV), couldn't help but see the total genius in Tina Fey's parody. And not just because they've dressed Queen Latifah as button-ed up moderator Gwen Ifill. Didn't see it? Well we've found the clip so you wouldn't have to. So we're not going to spoil it for you any more, so just click, watch and let your girl crush on Tina grow. Our favourite bit involves a flute. And that is all we're saying.

"Simple, elegant, pow! That big photo on the front of this card let's you say it all, and Grandma has been known to frame it as a keepsake. Looks and feels great - this card is a hit!"
"It was very difficult for me to choose a card that expressed a warm holiday, non-religious greeting, but also fit the pictures I wanted to display and the text I wanted to add which included a new home address. The representatives at Tiny Prints and designers were incredibly helpful and spent a lot of time with me on the phone giving me suggestions and helping me to design the perfect card. I couldn't the more pleased with the result. In addition, I received a thank you note teliing me that it was a pleasure to help me and they hoped I was pleased with my card! Customer Service at its tops-rarely seen theses days- thank you all at Tiny Prints!"
"We used the Big Photo folded cards as Thank You cards from our daughter who had fallen ill during the summer. The multi-photo layout on the inside allowed us to photographically telll her story by showing the progression of her illness and how she then improved and got well. I was pleasantly surprised how well the photos (taken with my phone, emailed to my email address, then uploaded to Tiny Prints) looked on the card. They were relatively clear, given the iffy quality of the original photos. The layout also allowed us to include a lot of information on the back of the card, which was great for our purposes. I would use this Big Photo card again for other occasions."
"I have tried all of the online greeting card services. This is by far the best. I think the key may lie in the fact that they have employees who check the quality, color, etc. of the digital image before printing the cards. On another note, the word past time in your "Share something about yourself" section is misspelled."
"I loved the fact that the "christmas ribbon" and "bells" could be removed from the inside. I needed a blank interior. If this can be done with other styles of cards, that should be advertised. The large card size is impressive. My black and white portrait on the cover is a classic."

This weekend I am going home to celebrate my mom's birthday. As she has celiac's disease, I wanted to test out my gluten-free recipe before leaving with my coworkers. But then I remembered that one is on a diet, another doesn't eat chocolate, and I'm vegan to boot. So I figured, let's just make a cake that will make everyone happy. Notes: Make sure you have a large beet to shred. Don't worry, you won't taste it. In retrospect I realise that some people could have a soy allergy. Regular milk is easy enough to substitute, or you could just use plain old water. I was using the soymilk to replace a half cup of oil in another recipe. For a thinner batter, reduce the flour by 1/2 cup.

Wayne Rooney has a wonderful habit of scoring landmark goals in style.
His 150th Premier League strike for Manchester United was among the very best he has netted for the club since his arrival in 2004 and there have been other great examples of a round tally being trumpeted with a terrific effort.
Our video, for instance, begins with the league goal that took him into double figures with the Reds - that famous rocket against Newcastle United at Old Trafford in April 2005. Fourteen other strikes follow in the footage, we hope you enjoy them all.

Some of you may remember a visit to NTW a couple of years ago by Kosovan Playwright Jeton Neziraj. He's been a busy man since then and I thought people would be interested to read a very informative interview with him that was conducted by Margarita Russolello as part of New York's Between the Seas Festival, where his play 'One Flew Over the Kosovo Theatre' is receiving its North American…Continue

We had an…Continue

As a result of last years' Dirty, Gifted and Welsh event, and a very interesting follow up discussion in the Writers Group on this network, I'm pleased to announce today that NTW is setting up a new Dramaturgy Project, to explore the role of the dramaturg in theatre in general and NTW in particular.
The group will involve six 'dramaturgs' – four of them playwrights and two not. The group will meet…Continue

My job at National Theatre Wales is to build a community of theatre makers and theatre goers who together can create performances that change the way we look at the world. That's what great theatre does, sometimes for a moment and sometimes for a lifetime. And that's what we want to do here in Wales.
I've been a theatre director since my early twenties. The first ever show I directed (excluding embarrassing bossing around of family members and friends) was Trevor Griffith's extraordinary play 'Comedians' when I was a student. I felt that it was a play that talked about a world I understood. I loved it's punky energy as well as its real life relevance. During the interval we ran bingo games for the audience and I also realised that theatre feels best when great writing and performance combine with an audience who are alive and kicking!
I went on to work back in my hometown of Liverpool during the 80s, and I feel that there were many reflections of Wales (where I was born but only lived for a few years) in that time of desolating poverty and creative anger on Merseyside. Then I escaped to New York for a year, to train properly as a theatre director, and ended up staying for almost a decade in a city that stole my heart! I worked with some extraordinary performers and companies there and New York is the place that shaped me as a theatre director.
But it was when I arrived at Contact Theatre in Manchester in 1999 that all the bits of my life came together into an epic adventure - recreating a theatre for a young urban audience, working with artists from all over the world and, it sometimes felt, reinventing theatre on a daily basis.
In Wales, I want to apply the lessons I've learned in Liverpool, New York and Manchester in a whole new environment. I hope that the people I meet here online and throughout Wales will share ideas with me, argue with me, inspire me and challenge me, and that together we will create a new national theatre that is like nothing anyone has seen before!
I'm on twitter @john_ntw
Got a lot out of the workshop last Sunday, John.
I hope you did too!
Many thanks.
Phil Croskin
Hi John, Here's the link to yesterdays BBC show I was on. If you scroll to about 130mins, you'll find the BHC feature (and eventually, me) X http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03wg07c
I didn't say where I am based - in Mountain Ash, between Pontypridd and Aberdare.
Have been meaning to make contact since NTW began and a conversation with Carl Lavery has pushed me into action - he said 'I must talk to you'. I do find the approaches you have been finding in NTW inspiring and imaginative so its about time I got in touch! I grew up in West Wales and have been active making work as director and performer in the South West and Wales since 1996. For various reasons in the last 6 years I have been more engaged with teaching and research. I think it is time now to make work, be a practitioner again, I have a number of ideas which are perhaps 'at the edges of theatre' that I would like to develop, and am wondering how I might weave something into the NTW net(work). Could we have a chat sometime as I am not sure how my experience and skills best fit into the different channels of development you have at NTW? You can see some information on my profile page and my website is www.ailsarichardson.com Best, Ailsa
Would like to know more about In Water I'm Weightless NTW20. Can you direct me to this please?
Hi John - didn't get a chance to say hello or even goodbye yesterday... we'd had a punishing journey down on the rugby train and were under pressure to shove back on to get home again - 2 carriages! can you believe it??? we survived standing for 2 hours and got seats around Ludlow... despite that, Film Team had an amazing time - thanks again to you all for a fantastic party!
Hello John,
Really interested in getting more involved with NTW, despite my age! Any advice about Group/s to join please? Acting and Directing work to date mainly with schools, Colleges, and some Adult groups, but keen to do more and to network! Have offered to work on a voluntary basis at NTW if appropriate and required.
Many thanks John

This Topaz necklace was a birthday gift and it went over well. The quality of the stone is excellent; although the chain is a little delicate. Good purchase
This is exactly what I wanted. It looks just like the picture, maybe better.
I was worried this would arrive & be tiny but I was pleasantly surprised that it was the perfect size. Not tiny & not gaudy huge. It is very nice looking. The only problem is my wife was a little disappointed in the stone's hue. She has been searching for months for the perfect necklace that she wanted for her first Mother's Day & was thrilled to find this one. However, the stone's hue looks more like that of a March Aquamarine than that of a December Blue Topaz & she really wanted the Blue Topaz as our daughter was born in December. She might try to see if she can have the stone replaced with one that looks like Blue Topaz instead of Aquamarine. Other than that, it's perfect.
My daughter has beautiful blue eyes. I bought this for her because the hue matches perfectly with the blue in her eyes. The quality of the stone is impeccable!

These guys stretched the medium to the limit … they pushed grain, they pulled back on it, then went 3 stops over and 3 stops under … they even managed to throw a 36-inch pizza on a roof in one take
Well, Walt's dead. Not that we couldn't see it coming. But the same thing goes for that wonderful world of light-transformed-celluloid. I haven't seen the numbers, but I don't need to.
Eastman-Kodak went TitsUp last year. Fuji stopped making stock two years ago. More and more projects are being shot digitally, so much so that now it's not really something to even note. Red, Arri, DSLR's, every aesthetic is accepted by the audience's eye and even more so, oftentimes we can't tell what we're watching.
But go to the camera houses or the gear-rental places and have a look at what's there and what's renting. Yes, there are some die-hards and many projects still being shot on film, but the last two Academy Awards for Cinematography were granted to films shot digitally, pretty much every TV show is shot digitally and the migration is happening at a ridiculous rate.
So what do we make of this. This isn't new. It's been said before. But something else is dying a little bit too, or at least, heading into a new phase in the whole "what's my life mean now?" process. And that is the feature film.
All you have to do is watch Steven Soderbergh's wonderful diatribe on the state of the union for films and you'll realize he's spitting a lot of truth, regardless if you want to hear it or how he spins it.
Feature films aren't entirely in the dumper — more and more are being made every year — but the economics of feature films are scarier and scarier, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone in this business is desperate to be in it, stay in it, or do better at it, it would never be making as much product as it is right now.
It doesn't make any sense. Most films lose their money. An overwhelming majority of them. So why in the hell would otherwise smart people get into that part of the business? It doesn't make any sense. What lures us — all of us — is the promise of something better, the belief that we can beat the odds, that there's a pot of gold at the end of that Rainbow, and damnit if this isn't starting to sound like the ending to a movie, right?
That's the point. Everyone working in movies believes their own paradigm: They want to win at the end.
Also read: 'Breaking Bad' Opera in Works; Expect a 'Bitch' Aria?
We may shoot to different formats, but the process is pretty much still the same. We block, we call "Action" and "Cut" and actors hit and miss their marks. There was something permanent and fixed to FILM that isn't there when the same string of zeros and ones can be replicated ad infinitum. There are no negatives anymore. And now that cinemas are displaying on much improved (yes, I said improved) digital projection the tangible quality of intangible assets are gone.
So is some of the magic that Cinema created. The butter's been taken out of the popcorn a little bit. But have no fear…
Because we are presently in the Golden Age of Television. Think about it. Every medium has it's heyday. Theater isn't as sexy as it once was (I don't care how many stage versions of Disney films get put on Broadway, they don't stand up to the glory days of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller and lord knows how good it was when Shakespeare was putting up his plays, never mind how audiences reacted to Sophocles, etc.) and it really is only blue hairs who go to see the Orchestra lately.

So perhaps in the dawn of hardcore videogames and five-minute online clips, feature films are just finding their rightful place as the stuff that dreams were made of. Maybe that's just how it goes. And maybe the film itself is going with it. Two siblings born and raised together, lived life together, and now one is dying and the other is retiring and mourning. But….
"Breaking Bad" started its life in 2008, and it shot film. How this decision was made we don't know and we don't care. But it was. AMC, as we've learned, was beautifully committed to this project and gave creative freedom and true support to let Vince Gilligan and his incredible team of artists and technicians play out the world of "BB" exactly as it needed to do.
Interestingly "BB" fits into a genre from the Golden Age of the silver screen — the Noir. Noirs are hotly contested and have been for a long time. Many say it's a style not a genre, but after studying them for the better part of 20 years in some form or another, one colleague put it me really simply, "A Noir is a story where, somewhere in the beginning, you realize that for the protag, it's just gonna end badly. It might have it's ups, it's downs, they might be a detective or someone impersonating a detective, they might be sympathetic and still greedy, but invariably it's just gonna end wrong for this poor sucker."
And I thought, yeah, that is a great way to define what this kind of storytelling is. And that's "BB." There's something great about Noirs — they live up to their name most of the time. Whether it's "The Maltese Falcon" or "Touch of Evil" or "House of Games" or "Memento," these stories often go expressionistic, dark and moody. And as Storaro once said, "Where you have a shadow, you have the subconscious".
Enter "BB." Enter Michael Slovis (50+ episodes) Enter Villalobos and a few other amazing pinch hitter DOP's. Enter Gilligan, Rian Johnson, Michelle Maclaren, Bryan Cranston. Enter New Mexico. Enter the lightning in the bottle. Enter Film.
What came out the other end was one of the most wonderful, long arced, compelling stories ever told and locked on camera negatives. And look at the variety from end to end of this show. How many memorable sequences do we take away?
- The cooking sessions.
- Walt confronting Tuco with the Nitro.
- The death of Gus Fring.
- Gus' specialty red lab and the "bottle" episode with the fly.
- Jesse hiding out in the arcade.
- The nighttime Exteriors.
- The Barren Landscape on the outskirts of Santa Fe.
- The Bauhaus design and feel of the German equity/management company.
- Walt and Skyler's place.
- Hank and Marie's purple laden palace.
- Skaters hanging up and down Walt's pool.
- The pink bear floating in the pool.
- The shafts of light coming in through the windows.
- The electro-magnet heist.
- The mexico connection.
- Possibly the best sequence hitchcock never directed: Hank's parking lot confrontation with the cousins.
- Possibly the best acted sequence of the whole story: Jesse's breakdown in group (episode, "problem dog").
- The short lived but wonderful snow-drenched scenes in New Hampshire.
- The darkest of the darks in Season 4. (let's face it, blackest of the blacks).
Seriously, these guys stretched the medium to the limit. They pushed grain, they pulled back on it. Then went 3 stops over and 3 stops under. They gave it consistency and at the same time they had tremendous variety to the visual style. They used long lenses, wide lenses, some nifty trick photography and managed to throw a 36-inch pizza on a roof in one take. And the f—er stayed there, by the way.
The gave us long takes and short takes, they handheld, they dollied, they kept on sticks, they steadicammed, they craned, they told the fucking story as elegantly as they could and Film didn't give out once.
Breaking Bad gave us 62 hours of gut-wrenching, thought-provoking, gorgeously told Noir. All shot on good old fashioned film.
As the idea of "story" evolves to us, to the new generation, in ways that we really can't even as yet comprehend, "Breaking Bad" gave a wonderful final BANG to an old friend. Just like Walt,
Film had one last hurrah. You can hear the cans of Camera Neg calling out from the Kodak factory, the Arri ST sitting on the shelf singing along in unison, all saying "Just get me onto the set. Please. Just get me there, load me up and let the mags roll, get me onto the set, and I'll do the rest." Well the same God that put Walt in for one last go around did the same for Film.
The medium hit the height of its perfection in the last 10 years, technically. What a way to go out. Walt, and Celluloid …. we'll miss you guys.
Now shhhhh. If you thought Film missed you, don't worry. Go to the fridge. Pull out that little can of 35mm. Open it up. You know what you'll hear? If you listen very closely you'll hear it say, "I did it for me."

My dedication to Yoga Tree is well deserved. Darren, Sean and the whole crew have kept me coming back. I will continue.
I've lost 48#s since I started an intensive nutrition and exercise program on November 8, 2012, which includes my yoga practice. I was 268#s and 8 weeks post-op from a C5/C6 disk fusion going into my first restorative class with Darren Main. I quickly grew into Hatha Flow with Darren and have dropped to 220#s as of Tuesday, January 8, 2013.
I've been on a year-long sabbatical; taking care of my father, traveling the world, having a much needed neck surgery and regaining control of my life and my weight. Yoga Tree has been an integral part of my life change.
Now, I am returning to work and will try my best to stay in Sean's 8 p.m. classes. While I cannot attribute 100% of my weight loss to Yoga Tree, it has been a vital part of my recovery from morbid obesity (actually changed in my medical file from morbid obesity to moderately overweight).

The Qing Emperor Is angered by the foolish decision of the Union to Recognise the Taiping Rebels. Does no one realise that if you recognise one group of Rebels you instantly Legitimize all others even those opposing your own government. The Emperor asks all nations to think twice before recognising a band of rebels. Even Provisionally it will have the same effect.
Staatpresident Marthinus Pretorius van die Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek
And how is a recognition of one group of rebels recognition of all? There are cases in which rebellion is justified and cases where it is not. The Heavenly Kingdom's rebellion against you is, in this case, more than justified, as you are a horrible and inept leader that must slaughter 80% of his bureaucracy in order for his government to just barely function. The southern rebels, however, have no excuse for their rebellion save some flimsy excuse of "state's rights" (despite the fact that nullification could have very easily solved that very same problem without their pointless revolt).
Furthermore, you recognized the rebel government currently occupying the southern United States, did you not? Therefore, you have absolutely no room to chaste anyone on the recognition of rebels.
A rebel without a cause.
As of now, there is no southern United States. We are not a rebel group, but an independent nation. The US recognizes us, so there is no excuse for you to claim us as nothing more than rebels. We have more legitamacy as a nation at this point than the Taiping rebels. You would do well to remember that.

What Are Student Grants
Once you become a senior in high school, there are lots of terms that are going to be thrown at you that you may not understand. Some of these terms include: Loans, Scholarships, and Grants. While you may understand what a loan is, if youre like the average student, you have a hard time figuring out what a scholarship and a grant are, and what the difference between the two of them is. It is a good idea to learn as much about student grants as you can, because theyre a great way for you to be able to finance your education without you, or your parents, going into severe debt.
What Is a Grant?
A grant is a fund that is given to people who need it. There are grants for all sorts of things. Many schools use grants to build their playgrounds, and lots of small counties use grants to help pay for their ambulance and fire departments. Grants can come from any source, but when youre talking about student grants, youre likely talking about government grants. The government pays billions of dollars a year to help students to go to college, and they often do that in the form of a student grant. A student grant usually goes straight to the college and does not have to be paid back.
What Is The Difference?
What is the difference between a scholarship and students grants? That is a very good question. Neither of them have to be paid back and both are used for schooling. Most often, scholarships come from private resources or from the college itself. Scholarships often have a condition attached to them for instance, you can only receive the money if you get a specific grade point average. Grants, however, usually do not. Once you are qualified and have received a grant, the money is yours to pay for your schooling. Grants also come usually only from the government, when it comes to talking about student grants, which is something else that makes them differ from a scholarship.
When youre figuring out your schooling and how much money its going to take, make sure you look for student grants. Student grants are often much easier to get than scholarships and they can help to take the burden off of the individual footing the bill for your education.

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Whisk 1 envelope active dry yeast and 1/4 cup warm water (110°-115°) in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 cup whole milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until just warm. Combine 1/4 cup vegetable shortening, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in a large bowl. Add warm milk; whisk to blend, breaking up shortening into small clumps (it may not melt completely). Whisk in yeast mixture and 1 room-temperature large egg. Add 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough forms. Knead dough with lightly floured hands on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°. Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a small sauce-pan. Lightly brush a 13x9-inch baking dish with some melted butter. Punch down dough; divide into 4 equal pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 12x6-inch rectangle.
Cut lengthwise into three 2-inch-wide strips; cut each crosswise into three 4x2-inch rectangles. Brush half of each (about 2x2-inch) with melted butter; fold unbuttered side over, allowing 1/4-inch overhang. Place flat in 1 corner of dish, folded edge against short side of dish. Add remaining rolls, shingling to form 1 long row. Repeat with remaining dough for 4 rows. Brush with melted butter, loosely cover with plastic, and chill for 30 minutes or up to 6 hours. Bake rolls until golden and puffed, 25-35 minutes. Brush with butter; sprinkle flaky sea salt (such as Maldon) over. Serve warm.

Pergola presents Handmade Japanese Wallpaper from Kyoto
Pergola has introduced (for the first time in this country) a new program of elegantly designed "washi" wallpapers from Kiso Studios of Kyoto. Blocks of color and texture, hand-painted or -stained with vegetable dyes and nikawa; young persimmons with tannins (kakishibu); or coated with layers of Japanese lacquer (urushi).
Samples have been installed on several walls at Pergola. In the process, they discovered it's incredibly easy to install using conventional papering methods. Washi offers a luxurious and long-lasting accent to one wall, to doors or cabinetry faces, or to an entire room.
Handmade Japanese "washi" paper in (roughly) 36 x 40" blocks, each sheet overlapping left to right to show the live edge, can be installed to perfection by their iinstaller.
Upstairs Antiques presents Antique Wicker

New Preston Kitchen Goods presents Dame Chinois
Marty's sense of style at NPKG is formidable, often a little tongue-in-cheek, and always perfectly practical. For outdoor entertaining, it doesn't get more elegant this season (or less precious) than these classic blue on white Chinoiserie patterns.
Here, Jill Fenichell of Brooklyn's Bongenre translates 19th c. porcelain designs to unbreakable melamine! Dame Chinois represents a departure from the "French Country" styles of melamine that have been popular for the last five years, stepping it up to a more formal English style.
Pair them with polycarbonate stemware from Le Cadeaux and vinyl placemats from Chilewich for poolside dining as elegant as anything indoors.
The Smithy presents CT Juice
How local does it get? Howard at The Smithy spends all his time these days creating and bottling Nature's healthiest ingredients, all from local sources, just for you. And the smart label design is as appealing as what's inside!
CT Juice's 100% organic vegetables and fruits are cold-pressed to preserve vitamins, trace minerals, vital nutrients and enzymes. This method of extraction doesn't heat, oxidize or degrade the ingredients, keeping all nutrients and enzymes intact. Each bottle contains 3 pounds (!!) of raw organic local produce.

The result is pure, delicious juices loaded with healing nutrients for your body.
J. Seitz & Co. presents Upcycled Materials

Clean lines, weathered finishes, natural texture - add thier bench-made Belgian linen upholstery and the result is a room we all want to be in!

[Instagram: Andrej Pejic]
UPDATE: There's still no word on who will play Ariel in Sofia Coppola's adaptation of 'The Little Mermaid', but Australian model Andrej Peji? is the first star to be revealed on the cast list. How amazing! According to IMBD, Andrej will play one of Ariel's mermaid sisters.
Andrej might be best known for her work on the catwalk, but the model got a taste of acting when she starred in the television show Faith and a short film Reason. She also starred in David Bowie's music video 'The Stars' with Tilda Swinton. But something tells us she's going to make the most beautiful mermaid.
19 March 2014: Sofia Coppola Is Directing A 'Little Mermaid' Film
Sofia Coppola's trading her usual gritty, raunchy movies for something a lot more child-friendly. The director behind The Bling Ring, Lost in Translation and The Virgin Suicides has been revealed as working on a live-action version of fairytale The Little Mermaid.
Working on the remake alongside Caroline Thompson, who wrote Edward Scissorhands and Corpse Bride, she's expected to produce a much darker version of the tale than the Disney one we're used to.
The original story is actually a creepy tale about a mermaid making a deal with the devil (Ursula) so she can grow legs and dance with a prince on the land. Rather than marry her (like in the Disney version), the mermaid's prince makes her dance until her feet bleed and marries someone else. There's no happy ending. (Sob!)
The question is - who's going to play Ariel in this more sinister tale? If Sofia wants to stick to a red-head, she's got loads of beautiful actresses to choose from. Amy Adams has already given fairytales ago with Enchanted, Isla Fischer almost drowned filming Now You See Me and Jessica Chastain is no stranger to dark roles.
BUT since Emma Watson's previously been rumoured for the role (unfortunately, it was a hoax) we reckon it's worth considering a whole host of other stars who've dressed up as mermaids and have serious mermaid vibes. Our money's on Vanessa Hudgens who's starred in gritty movies (Spring Breakers), Disney movies (High School Musical) and a fairytale remake (Beastly), AND makes a rather incredible mermaid.
[Vanessa Hudgens Instagram]
V Hud's got tough competition show. From Azealia Banks to Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey to Cara Delevingne - check out the all actresses, singers and.. er.. It-Girls who've dressed up as mermaids before in our round-up above.
