The Diary of A Nose
Since I've built a career in the world of scents, I am always interested to hear what has inspired some of the world's most renown olfactory experts. Jean-Claude Ellena, the official perfumer of Hermès, shares his thoughts on perfume in his new memoir and I think this will be the perfect summer read for me.
A scent is such a personal thing, capable of transporting you to your past, of kindling fantasies… out of thin air. It is quite a task (one that I love) to create each candle, capturing the essence of the candle's namesake (Peony, Vetiver, Wild Fern…). And so, in the name of research, I am looking forward to sticking my nose into this memoir by Jean-Claude Ellena, the official perfumer of Hermès: "The Diary of a Nose: A Year in the Life of a Parfumeur". Available now from Rizzoli.
Per the Rizzoli website:
An intimate exploration of inspiration and creativity, from the "parfumeur exclusif" of the house of Hermès. Where does inspiration for this visceral art come from? How does one capture the essence of emotions, of desire? Jean-Claude Ellena has a sublime gift. As "parfumeur exclusif" (or "the nose") for Hermès, he elevates fragrance to an art form. A "writer of perfume," his concoctions are as finely composed and evocative as a haiku. He is also a conjurer of sorts: "I create an illusion that is actually stronger than reality . . . you enter the scent and follow the path." The Diary of a Nose is a collection of Ellena's meditations on the world of scents, and what stirs his creation of some of the world's most desired fragrances. Inspiration can come from anywhere—a market stall, a landscape, or even the movement of calligraphy. Though each smell has its own distinct character, a gifted perfumer creates olfactory experiences that are intensely personal and unique, that blossom on the body and leave a trace of us lingering after we have left a room. Seductive, delicate, and elegant as any of Ellena's creations, The Diary of a Nose seeks to capture the most elusive facets of this rarefied and mysterious art.
About the Author
Jean-Claude Ellena has been the exclusive perfumer to the house of house of Hermès since 2004. Over the course of his career he has created some of the world's bestselling fragrances, including "First" from Van Cleef & Arpels, "Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert" from Bulgari, and "Déclaration" from Cartier.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
EFF is back in Geneva to report on the 2006 General Assemblies of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This is the large annual meeting where progress is measured and paths are charted for the coming year. We're here to cover two issues in particular: the WIPO Development Agenda and the proposed broadcasting treaty. At issue are how discussions on the Development Agenda will proceed in 2007, and whether to approve a recent subcommittee recommendation to convene a diplomatic conference (what the cool kids call a "dipcon") in 2007. The goal of the treaty is to provide broadcasters with protection against those who would re-broadcast their signals without permission. The two dominant approaches to achieving this goal are 1) rights-based, creating new copyright-like rights for broadcasters over recordings and retransmissions, and 2) signal-based, creating penalties for the unauthorized interception and redistribution of a broadcast signal.
WIPO's proposed Broadcasting Treaty lurched forward another step on Wednesday. In a tense and acrimonious meeting, the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights adopted a recommendation that WIPO's General Assembly should convene a 2007 Diplomatic Conference to finalize the treaty. The 183 WIPO Member States must now decide whether to accept that and convene the Conference, when the General Assembly meets on September 25 - October 3. It's not at all clear whether they will do so, but EFF will be at WIPO to report on events as they unfold.
The WIPO Broadcasting Treaty has just passed the next step on its way to a Diplomatic Conference in 2007. The meeting of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights has just recommended that the WIPO General Assembly convene a Diplomatic Conference in July 2007.
Overruling the objections of a number of WIPO Member States (including the United States), the following recommendations were grudgingly adopted under a silent procedure:
Day 3, 13 September 2006.
Meeting outcome (as adopted by silent procedure, at 5:56 p.m.):
The WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights is meeting this week in Geneva to discuss and "finalize" the proposed Broadcasting Treaty. WIPO's goal is to get the 182 Member States to make a recommendation to the upcoming General Assembly that it should convene an early 2007 Diplomatic Conference, where the nuts and bolts of the treaty would be hammered out. Stakes are high. This will be the third time that the treaty has been put forward for a vote on holding a Diplomatic Conference. At the end of day 2, it looks like they might get their wish. The only question is at what cost?
Negotiations on the WIPO Development Agenda came to a grinding halt today, after the Chair presented the Committee with a proposed recommendation for the WIPO General Assembly that raised concerns about procedural fairness and transparency. Brazil and Argentina announced that they had instructions from their governments to withdraw from the process due to unfair procedural treatment, and requested that the existing proposals be sent to the WIPO General Assembly to decide the future of the Development Agenda. The only thing that was clear by day's end is that the annual General Assembly meeting on September 25-October 3 will be very interesting indeed.

"It isn't even the same year!" Machinist Perry Heigl of Otsego, Minnesota, exclaims when we asked him how many times people call his 1972 Chevy Camaro Z28, "Bumblebee."
"Yeah I get that a lot, but you can't miss me coming, that's for sure!" He chuckles to himself. Perry is right about that, it would be hard to miss this bright yellow missile barreling down at you.
Perry got his true '72 Z28 from a buddy of his who desperately wanted to have a running car. He traded for Perry's '61 Falcon that was complete. Perry agreed to take on the project, with a little cash donation, and due to sheer boredom of the Falcon. We don't blame you; around here, Ford is a four-letter word!
The motor was blown and the red paint was in desperate need of a respray, but Perry was up to the challenge. His wife, Tricia, suggested the bright yellow eye-grabber paint, and Perry had the engine all picked out well before it ever hit his driveway. The hue is borrowed from the Corvette color palette from PPG and was sprayed base-clear by Perry himself.
The first iteration of the power plant was a 502 that he had pieced together, but that engine just wasn't enough for him, so he yanked it out and beefed it up to the current 540ci you see now. Perry conservatively estimates the new combo makes 635 hp at 6000 rpm and 650 lb-ft at 4500 rpm. Although, after seeing the parts list, he may just be acting a bit coy.
The 540 has a 4.500-inch bore and a 4.250-inch stroke. Perry slapped a pair of aluminum Dart Pro I cylinder heads with 310 cc's worth of port, then set the compression ratio predictably at 9:1. The rotating assembly consists of Eagle crank and rods. SRP pistons round out the bottom end. A Lunati solid roller cam measure in at .595 intake lift, .595 at exhaust lift; all at a duration of 242. The ensemble is topped by an Edelbrock Air-Gap intake and a Holley Ultra HP 4150 carburetor weighing in at 950 cfm, capped with a ubiquitous K&N filter. An electric Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump makes sure the carb stays quenched. A 6AL MSD box with adjustable rev limiter allows for maximum performance and keeping the rods in place. The bottom end sports a Moroso 6-quart pan and a Melling oil pump. Keeping it all cool is a two-row BeCool aluminum radiator and twin Spal electric fans with a custom fan shroud.
The mighty buzz out the back comes courtesy of a set of Hooker Supercomp headers doused in Jet-Hot's ceramic coating with 2-inch primaries joining at the 3.5-inch collectors. The headers flow into a steel Flowmaster exhaust system with a crossover pipe and a 3-inch outlet into their Super 44 series mufflers.
The motor is backed by a TH400 built by Master Transmissions of Rosemount, Minnesota, and features a 3000-stall TCI converter. The tire roaster is a Strange Engineering Dana 60 rearend stuffed with 4.10 gears and an Eaton Tru-Trac posi unit.
The suspension is all work and no frilly business. Frame connectors and stock A-arms, spindles, and springs make up the front end. Cal-trac's and stock leafs reside out back, and all four corners get treated to Competition Engineering's adjustable drag shocks. Eleven-inch rotors ride along to reign it all in when the go-fast pedal gets pounced.
Perry picked Billet Specialties Street Lite wheels to set the final look of the car. The fronts measure 15x6 with a 3.5-inch backspace, and the rears come in at 15x8 with 4.5-inch backspacing. Mickey Thompson Streets up front measure in at 225/60R15, while the business end wears 275/60R15, making for a very aggressive-looking stance.

Student Research Reflects SLU's Commitment to Hands-on Learning
ST. LOUIS - Seven undergraduates in Saint Louis University's nuclear medicine technology program have been selected to present their research at the 2011 Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) Annual Meeting, one of the top conferences in molecular imaging and nuclear medicine. In addition, six residents and fellows also had abstracts accepted to the conference.
Each year more than 7,000 health professionals attend the annual meeting. This year's event, to be held in San Antonio, Texas, will run from June 4-8.
Since 2005, SLU has had roughly 60 student abstracts submitted to the Society of Nuclear Medicine and has had every abstract accepted. For William Hubble, chair of medical imaging and radiation therapeutics, this unusually high acceptance rate speaks to the fresh perspective SLU students bring to the world of research.
"Undergraduate students have no preconceived notions going into research," Hubble explains. "SLU students tend to raise questions about procedures and practices that otherwise go unasked."
In order to graduate, undergraduate students majoring in nuclear medicine technology must complete a research project. However, rather than turn in a research assignment and be done with it, Medhat Osman, M.D., associate professor of radiology, encourages students to take their research to the next level.
"Research is never done in a vacuum," Osman said. "It's important to share what we have learned so that we can continue to progress. Our department has pushed students to submit their work through a formal research process because their ideas have the potential to make a real difference in the world clinical nuclear medicine."
Practical Applications
Senior Andrew Kalthoff is just one example of students making a difference in science. Kalthoff's research analyzed a new cardiac imaging system at St. Anthony's Hospital that takes better pictures of the heart in about half the time of the old system.
With this improved imaging, Kalthoff wanted to see if patients could receive a lower dosage of the radioactive tracer used to photograph the heart's activity. He compared 20 patients with the regular amount of tracer and 20 patients with a lower dose of tracer and found there was no difference in the images.
St. Anthony's has since changed its dosage protocol, giving patients a smaller amount of the radioactive tracer.
Senior Amina Turnadzic will also be presenting research at the conference. Turnadzic's research followed five patients who had received PET scans and measured how long the radiation dosage they received prior to the scan radiated off the body.
Turnadzic found that PET scan patients were giving off high amounts of radiation for several hours. This was problematic because patients who had other medical appointments following the PET scan would be giving off radiation to others in the waiting room. Her research suggests that hospitals create separate waiting rooms for individuals who just received a PET scan and educate patients on the importance of hydration which greatly reduces the amount of radiation given off.
Senior Bridget Kistner, a veteran researcher, will be presenting her second undergraduate research project. Her latest research examines why some patients' hearts are visible on a PET scan. For oncology patients, the heart should not appear on the screen at all, but some patients have intense uptake of the radioactive glucose that is injected into the body during a PET scan.
Kistner looked to see if there was a correlation between uptake in the heart and how hard the heart is pumping. Her research found a correlation in a little more than half of the 20 patients she studied. Her findings set up the opportunity for further studies that control for potential confounding factors.
Hands-On Experience
Opportunities to present research at events like the SNM Annual Meeting are a crucial component of SLU's nuclear medicine technology program, which prides itself on hands-on learning.
"I like the program for the real world work experience," Kalthoff said. "By the time I graduate I will have 1,300 hours of clinical experience under my belt."
"Ultimately I want to be a pediatrician," Kistner said. "So I was a little impatient to learn about the human body. Nuclear medicine has definitely given me a solid foundation of how the body works which will be invaluable when I go on to medical school."

Google gets ungoogleable off Sweden's new word list
Objections from Google have forced the removal of the word 'ungoogleable' from a list of new Swedish words, the Language Council of Sweden says.
The language watchdog defines 'ungoogleable', or 'ogooglebar' in Swedish, as something that cannot be found with any search engine.
But Google wanted the meaning to relate only to Google searches, according to the council.
Google responded by saying it was protecting its trademark.
Guess unbingable it is then!

Speaking at The Economist's Buttonwood Gathering in New York last month, former IBM CEO Samuel Palmisano shared what he sees as the three keys for anyone – cities, countries or companies – to compete in today's integrated global economy. With interconnectivity growing, you've got to distinguish yourself to find growth, he said.
"The developing world has reached the end of the easy path to rising GDP…growth markets have plucked the low-hanging fruit of global integration Act I," said Palmisano, and "….the developed world finds itself needing to address huge structural overhangs with urgency. Postponement is not a serious option."
So how can you compete? For Palmisano, it comes down to three key points.

When we first heard that Heidts Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts would be making its killer Pro-G IRS system fit under a Tri-Five, we were excited to say the least. The company has used Pro-G IRS equipped vehicles in our Super Chevy Suspension & Handling Challenge for two years straight, first with a second-gen Camaro, then with a '66 Nova. Both of them worked exceptionally well, so you can tell why we got excited. We happened to have a clean '56 in our Super Chevy stable that was in need of suspension upgrades for more than one reason.
The owner of the car decided to install NASCAR-style trailing arm suspension he lifted from a '67 C10 pick up. While the components fit, the supporting airbags and shocks just didn't ride very well, and, in fact,the car rode so poorly the owner just parked it and only brought it out for local cruise nights. In total, the car has only been driven 500 miles since completion almost 10 years ago. Having a car this nice, yet not being able to drive it is just wrong. Heidts' IRS is not just a fix, but a huge upgrade.
There are a few key benefits to converting to an independent rear set up. Most notably is the left and right sides are now independent. When a solid axle car goes into a corner, the outside squats, which in turn lifts the inside. With an IRS, the outside can squat without affecting the other side. This allows for a larger area of the tires' contact patch to stay in contact with the ground. In addition, when the car rides over uneven ground, the control arms move independently, so the ride is smoother and more controlled.
The Pro-G IRS system is based on a 9-inch center section, and uses heavy-duty CV joints to transfer the power out to the wheels. Hooked to the center section is a set of control arms made from DOM tubing that run out to heavy-duty uprights. The upper arm has Heim joints for smooth articulation and adjustability. Holding the weight and providing control of the bounce is a set of billet single adjustable coilover shocks with chrome springs.
Braking comes via a set of inboard-mounted Wilwood Dynalite four-piston calipers and 10.5-inch rotors. Heidts also offers drilled and slotted rotors and an e-brake set up for an additional charge. Because the brakes are mounted inboard, the car sees a reduction in unsprung weight.
The upper and lower arms are fully adjustable in both camber angle and toe, which greatly improves handling capabilities. Also, since the center section is solid-mounted, there will be no pinion angle change under acceleration.
The IRS is available with a number of gear ratio and spring combinations. The set up is true bolt-in installation with only a few holes needing to be drilled. It comes complete, but disassembled, unfinished, and retails for $7,995.
Here is the underside of the '56 we are upgrading. The home-built truck trailing arm suspension, while a neat idea, just didn't work correctly. The bags sitting directly over the axle provided a harsh ride and even with the shocks extended up into the trunk floor still didn't help. Grant Peterson, our west coast Snap-on Tech Center guru, removed all of this from the car in preparation for the IRS install. We will put the 9-inch into something else, so we'll keep that, but the trailing arms will be sold at the swap meet. One other notable thing on this car is the wheelwells; they have been widened by a couple inches, basically over to the framerail enough to fit the 295/50/16 BFG's. No mods to the framerails were made other than adding a crossmember for the bags.
Here is the Heidts Pro-G IRS unboxed. It comes with just about everything you need minus brake lines. Heidts offers a brake line kit that is sold separately, or you can build your own. We decided to build our own. The control arms are made from DOM tubing, while the rest of the stuff is thick steel. The center section is a beefy cast aluminum unit that will bolt to a new crossmember, which you can order in as cast or polished. Most everything else will then hang from the center section. The CV joints are heavy-duty units that will feed the power out from the nodular iron case third member with a 3.70 gear ratio, True Trac and 1350 yolk.
Before we assembled anything, we took the time to clean all the components. While they are shipped pretty clean, it's a good idea to give everything a once over to make sure nothing got in during shipping.
There are two seals that go into the ends of the center section. They will go all the way down and bottom out on a machined step. Its best to use an actual seal installation tool to drive the seal in squarely without damaging it. If you don't have one then look for a large socket or drift. But whatever you use, make sure the seal is not deformed during installation. If it is, than you can easily get replacement seals directly from Heidts.
There are three areas that will get studs: the sides and the face where the third member mounts. The two sets on the sides will need to be left 7/8-inch while the third member ones stick out 1-3/8-inch. Thread locking compound is used to keep them in place.
The main top crossmember bolts to the top of the center section with 1/2-inch hardware torqued to 75 lb-ft for a solid connection.
Now we need to do things a little differently than the instructions. You see, Heidts based its measurements off of the rear leaf spring mount. Unfortunately, this was not on our car anymore, so we needed to partially assemble the rearend to get our axle centerline so we can position the upper brackets via wheel base measurements. If you still have your leaf mount, then your task will be a bit less involved.
The outer bearing assemblies bolt to the uprights. The uprights are constructed from mild steel and are fully boxed and beautifully welded. By now you can probably tell that all the steel items come in a raw finish. It will be up to us to have them powdercoated, chromed, or painted. Heidts recommends doing a pre install to make sure it all goes well, just in case you need to modify something. We didn't need to modify anything, so we will tear it all back off and send it out to get powdercoated, after we are done with the future front upgrades.

|$1.47 ea.

|$10.38 ea.
To minimize the risk of drip irrigation or micro sprinkler clogging due to low water quality, it is important to flush your irrigation system from time to time. If your irrigation system needs to be flushed more frequently, use one of the best-kept secrets of drip irrigation system, the automatic flush valve. Automatic flush valves can play a significant role in conserving time and labor and can protect your drip irrigation system.
If the flush valve does not close (continues to flush), disassemble the flush valve. Inspect the spring and washer, cleaning or replacing as necessary, and reassemble.
If the line flushing valve does not seal (continues to flush), disassemble the flush valve. Inspect all components, cleaning or replacing as necessary, and reassemble. You should be able to blow and draw air through the drip emitter that is attached to the diaphragm, and the diaphragm should be free of any rips or tears.
Damage may occur if the flush valve has been subjected to higher than recommended pressure (greater than 50 PSI).
If manual flush valves or flush ports have been installed in lieu of line flushing valves, they should be opened and the system flushed at least three times in each irrigation season until the flowing water is visibly clean. The zone may need to be flushed more frequently depending on the quality of the water source.
Flushing of a drip system is highly recommended anytime that the system has been repaired.

Still another great product from Leatherology. It offers maximum protection for my new Mac Pro. And it looks great too.
The laptop case was beautiful. It was a bit large
I have owned about every type of laptop sleeve available. This one was perfect! The leather quality is awesome (as expected from Leatherology), the zipper quality was also excellent! Inside, the case is lined so that it does not scratch my laptop and it even has a cover to keep the zipper from scratching my laptop. That is unheard of in other cases. If you measure carefully, you can find a model that fits your laptop like a glove. I use mine for the Lenovo Yoga 13" and you would think it was made specifically for it!! Highly recommended case!!!!!
Very pleasantly surprised. Having not transacted any business with you before, I was glad to see that the product was certainly worth the price and the purchasing experience, from ordered through its delivery in quality packaging, was top flight.
The product was excellent! Fit my laptop perfectly. The leather was really elegant and the padding was just right. Have received a number of compliments on the sleeve when I bring out my laptop with customers. Delivery was fast and as promised. I've purchased products from Leatherology before, and they really are a quality company.
This is a well made product and very good looking!
Good fit for Mac Air (a little extra room), quality leather, provides decent protection for laptop
LOVE love love this product!
Great high end leather...
Will definitely buy from you again!
Well-made and designed. In fact on a recent trip, once my laptop was cleared by airport security, an airline employee took the name of your company from me because she wants to purchase a similar unit. Considering the number of bags going through airport security, the fact that your product was singled out by an airport employee is a tribute to you.
This is an absolutely beautiful sleeve with excellent quality. I first purchased 2 of the 10" sleeves and liked them so well I ordered the same sleeve in the 13" for another laptop. I might add, I am not an easy customer to please, because I expect nothing less than perfection!
Great item. Fits perfect on my Toshiba Portege!
As always, love your products! Excellent quality leather and this was a good price on sale. Plan to use it for my new Apple computer in the future.
Super gorgeous laptop leave. I am thrilled! Also amazing price.
This was my first order from Leatherology. When I accidentally ordered the wrong size and emailed them to request a revision to the 13" sleeve, they were prompt to reply (over the weekend) and took great care of my order. Not only did I receive the requested size, but in time for Christmas too! The product is beautifully made and the engraved initials were a lovely touch. The packaging was beautiful as well - I didn't even bother wrapping it in different paper. I will definitely order from Leatherology again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality leather product for themselves or as a gift.
This item was purchased as a Christmas gift for my daughter and she loves it! Overall--the sleeve is good quality and so is the packaging.
Outstanding quality and price. Professional image with my personal initials. Sony does not have this must have sleeve
Beautifully made and nicer than expected. Very well padded and fits the 13"" Mac perfectly.

Prime Minister David Cameron visits Ulverston
Last updated at 14:25, Friday, 23 March 2012
- Related article: Union welcomes Glaxo's Ulverston plant
- Related article: 100s of jobs on the way at £350m Ulverston site
THE Prime Minister had a simple message for workers celebrating a factory expansion: "You are saving people's lives".
David Cameron visited the GlaxoSmithKline site in Ulverston just hours after the company announced that a £350m biopharmaceutical facility will be built at the site.
Mr Cameron said he was in South Cumbria to share in the celebrations after Glaxo revealed plans to invest in Ulverston.
He said: "It is tremendously exciting. This is a really big investment of up to half a billion pounds and a thousand jobs.
"It's a boost which is being carried out due to a confidence in the workforce both here in Ulverston and also in Scotland."
Mr Cameron, who travelled to Ulverston by car following a trip to Bradford, went on a tour of Glaxo's site and spoke to apprentices about the work they carry out at the plant.
In a speech to workers, Mr Cameron said the investment would help Britain compete against other economies.
He said: "What strikes me about this is that it is about so much more than just one company.
"Because if you think about the challenges we face as a country, and indeed the challenges we face in the world, this announcement by GSK speaks to so many of those challenges.
"We have a massive challenge in Britain about how we can re-balance our economy."
He praised the company for its graduate scheme, and said this would help Britain to increase manufacturing output.
He said: "We still have some huge battles to fight in our own country and also round the world in tackling the great killer diseases.
"This company has done extraordinary things in the fight against cancer and in helping people manage in very, very difficult conditions.
"The fact is you're not only doing this in Britain, but creating drugs that are capable of helping our world."
And the Prime Minister told the Evening Mail that South Cumbria needs to see more growth and jobs.
He said: "It is obviously of great benefit to an area of the country which I always enjoy visiting, and it is an area which needs growth and jobs.
"In this area there are some important employers such as BAE Systems and Sellafield, and it is great to see a company like GSK extend."
Greig Rooney, site director for the Ulverston plant, said the performance of the site's workers had been key to securing the investment.
He said: "I think for us in Ulverston, we have been on a journey.
"We had a peak of 2,000 jobs about 10 years ago, to where we are at now at 245 staff but throughout that time we have seen that this year we have made more products than we have ever made before in the plant's 65-year history."
He said that the highly-skilled staff, the quality of the products and the plant's safety record had helped in bringing at least 350 jobs and £350m to the area. Mr Rooney added that planning for the new facility would begin in the next few weeks.
It is hoped that construction will begin at the site in 2015, with the work scheduled to take around six years due to high safety standards and the amount of training staff will require.
Richard Ellwood, utility manager, has been working at the plant for 41 years and said workers were delighted at the news.
He said: "It is fantastic because if you'd asked me three years ago about what the future of this site was, I would have said probably a 70 per cent chance of closure.
"That certainly isn't the case now, it's only going to grow in terms of the area.
"I heard the news this morning when I was on my own but coming in you could see a lot of smiles on a lot of faces."

Have your say
Jobs for Ulverston must be welcome but will these posts be offered to the people losing their sheltered employment at Barrow Remploy when, or if, the factory is closed?
I would'nt bother applying for any of these jobs because they are probably spoken for.

Pop pop bang bang project
by chicquero
Pop Pop Bang Bang is an incredible project created by a great collaboration between photographer Thomas Brown and creative director Anna Burns. The former describes it as a mix of "film, photography, and pyro". Together, the two focused on three themes that seems to always find their way into movies: explosions, guns, and girls. With this idea they decided to create their own conceptual, visually arresting settings in three different London locations. Very eye catching! Drama is very important in […]

Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster
Eric Johnson is a true virtuoso guitarist and a man renowned for his love of great tone. Now you can play his guitar!
Anyone familiar with Eric Johnson will know that, apart from his magical touch on the guitar, he strives for the perfect tone. Eric wants to evoke the smooth, singing voice of the violin in his lead passages and so hates sounds that are thin and spiky, preferring thick tones that fall from his guitar like liquid.
A true aficionado of vintage Fender Stratocasters, Johnson is someone who knows better than most how the world's favourite electric guitar could be 'improved'.
And with that in mind he got together with Fender and came up with this very retro-looking instrument. "They used my favourite Stratocaster," Eric tells us. "It's a 1957 sunburst with maple neck that I found in Florida when I was on tour a few years ago."
He stipulated an exceptionally lightweight, heavily contoured alder body finished in the thinnest nitro-cellulose lacquer.
Mated to this would be a quarter-sawn tinted maple neck with the smoothest transition between neck and headstock, armed with 21 medium-jumbo frets and with a modern, 12-inch fingerboard radius.
Eric likes his Strats to be fitted with the full five springs but not 'blocked up' as with Eric Clapton's guitar. "All my guitars are like that," he confirms.
Not a fan of the tricky-to-negotiate Strat back-plate with its fiddly string-loading holes, Johnson decided it would be omitted from his signature guitar.
But there's more to it than that. "Actually the backplates are removed from all my guitars because I think they sound better with them off," he says.
Johnson wanted his Strat to look as 'normal' as possible. Due to his desire for a string-tree-free headstock, one millimetre or so has been skimmed from its front surface and staggered Gotoh tuners fitted.
"The reason I did this is because the guitar stays in tune better," explains Eric. "It was my idea to stagger the tuners, then Michael Braun at Fender made it work by skimming the face of the peghead to increase string angle over the nut."
Other personal features include a parchment-coloured, single-ply scratchplate, an authentic vibrato block - "It's closer to those used in the 1950s and 1960s; the holes are smaller and the string doesn't go in as deep" - and a discreet neck-plate bearing the guitarist's initials and the figure of Kokopelli, a Native American character symbolising the 'mischievous minstrel'.
But the most important weapon in the guitar's arsenal is its pickups and wiring. Eric worked with the Custom Shop to develop pickups that sounded both warm and hot, with a distinct vintage vibe that retained every ounce of tone possible.
Traditionally Strats don't have a tone control on the bridge pickup, leaving this often harsh-sounding single-coil as many people's least favourite selection. Johnson simply switched the tone pot from the middle pickup to the bridge, leaving the neck unit covered by its own tone control but the middle wired wide open.
The EJ's cellulose -acquered neck is a touch bigger than the average Vintage Reissue Strat, with a chunky 'C' meets 'V' feel that's designed to be a comfortable palm-full and bring an ounce or two more tone to the guitar.
"Again, this is taken from my favourite '57 Strat," says Eric. Like so many Fenders these days it's almost a work of art, its fingerboard's edges having received the 'rolling' treatment that leaves it feeling smooth as silk, and its slightly larger frets perfectly set, dressed and polished.
Maple fingerboards usually feel better with slightly heavier fretwire, as inevitably the frets are buried somewhat in the lacquer - even when it's as thin as stipulated by Johnson.
The slinkiness of its polished surface can also make bending a little too slippery with vintage-style 'fine' frets; whatever Eric's intentions in this regard, the result is playing perfection.
The lightness of the EJ is a revelation: you can play it for hours and hardly know it was there. Action is set dead right - low enough for comfort but with enough purchase under the strings for easy bending.
The cellulose finish is totally drag-free and it's one of those necks you can forget is there and just get on with playing.
These pickups echo Johnson's love of vintage Strats and so were voiced to reflect the kinds of sounds you hear on albums like Ah Via Musicom, Tones and his excellent new release, Bloom.
But it's not all hyper-fat lead; Eric also loves sparkling bridge, classic Texan neck and spanky middle pickup tones, as well as those 'vocal' sounds so ably served by positions two and four.
"I wanted them to sound like '50s pickups," explains Eric, "with the exception that the bridge was a bit brighter. These weren't copied from my guitar, but Michael Braun and I sought out magnets and copper wire close to the 1950s specs."
So while the resulting sonic palette is distinctly classic in timbre, there's super clarity on offer too. All these sounds are ideal for rhythm and riffs, sparkling clean leads and of course Johnson's legendary chord voicings layered with dreamy effects.
What Strat player hasn't wished that pesky bridge pickup could sometimes be tamed? Of course, on many Fenders this is now possible, but on something as vintage-vibed as this it's a rarity. Eric's shifting of the tone pot from the middle to the bridge pickup allows this - and by default the bridge-and-middle positions - to be adjusted.
And while you can already do this latter move on most Strats, via the middle pickup's tone pot, there's a subtle but noticeable difference here: in the standard combination the middle pickup's tone gets rolled off, but here it's the bridge pickup and that creates a tone that's just as thick, but much more defined.
And as both 'in-between' positions on the five-way are noise cancelling, this is as close to a genuine humbucking tone as you'll find on a Strat.
But that bridge pickup: knock back the tone by 35 per cent and it sounds like a Gibson SG - we kid you not!
What's best about it is that, when playing live, you can use those other positions for rhythm and flick instantly to either bridge or the bridge-middle combination and it's tantamount to jumping on a humbucker pedal! "All my Strats are wired this way," grins Johnson, "I've actually been doing it since the 1970s."
MusicRadar Rating
Flawless and featherweight build. Bridge pickup tone control.
Nothing to dislike.
Signature guitars are a minefield of whim and fancy. What represents the Holy Grail to one guitar star means little or nothing to anyone but the artist's most diehard fans. But Eric Johnson knows Strats inside out. He understands aesthetics, is a stickler for playability and his views on great tone are legendary. Along with Fender he has created the perfect guitar for lovers of vintage Strats who want something extra.

Jean Grosperrin
Cognac de Collection Jean Grosperrin – Artisanal Vintages -
Jean Grosperrin worked as a cognac broker in the Cognac region. A broker in eaux-de-vie plays a very discreet yet strategic role between the producer and the buyer. His job is to evaluate the quality of the eaux-de-vie and to introduce interested parties to each other. His profession takes him to many cellars to estimate the value of different batches, among which there are sometimes some very old cognacs. Practically all vine growers distill their own harvest and they usually conserve, as former generations have done before them, some barrels of cognac in their cellars.
These family treasures are very rarely up for sale and the transactions are very confidential. It is these cognacs, sometimes very atypical with strong personalities that Jean and his son Guilhem (since 2004) seek to obtain in all of the appellations of Cognac. "I am particularly attracted to these small batches of rare cognacs which bear witness to an era now past, when vines were cultivated using horses and when the art of distillation made the vine grower spend all day and all night next to the alembic to control the intensity of the flames and the cooling vapours." Many of the oldest cognacs have lost up to 80% of their initial volume as a result of natural evaporation.
In the Cognac district of Charente we call this the "angels' share". The philosophy is to keep these batches intact, without blending them with others. I leave them in their original barrels and the oldest ones in glass demi-johns. These vintage cognacs are stocked in a Government-controlled warehouse in Cognac and in their own cellars, where they are carefully supervised by officials. This allows to guarantee their age. Their preparation and bottling are carried out under the supervision of official bailiffs. The French laws concerning cognac, as restrictive as they may be in matters of age and vintage, have allowed the company to acquire an incredible collection of exceptional products. This collection is currently the equivalent of more than 81,500 bottles, dating from 1991 all the way back to World War II. All these cognacs have the necessary guarantees of quality and authenticity. Each bottle tells its own story and will take you back to a place where time has stood still for decades, resulting in the exceptional product that you are going to taste. The Cognac de Collection Jean Grosperrin are sold in the best establishments in France and by exclusive and select importers in a score of other countries. They are regularly hailed by the French and international press.

Stain Removal for Bruce Dura-Satin Wax Finish Floors
Modified on 2007/12/27 12:01 by Administrator — Categorized as: Bruce Hardwood Floors
Tips on Repairing Blemishes
Most problems can be prevented or minimized by wiping up any spills immediately. We have provided some common first aid procedures for spot cleaning and touch-up/repair of your Bruce Dura-Satin wax finish floor. When removing a spot, always begin at the outer edge and work towards the center to prevent the spot from spreading. Keep a Bruce Touch-Up Kit which blends with your factory-stained floors available. This kit contains all the materials you will need to handle most of the accidents listed here.
Repair Tips on Dura-Satin Wax Finish Floors
Spots Caused by Food or Water
Rub lightly with a Bruce Scrub Pad dampened with either Dark 'n' Rich or Lite 'n' Natural. If this does not remove the spot, repeat the process with Clean 'n' Strip. Wipe dry and rub on a little wax. Then buff with a clean cloth, or the dry end of a Bruce Scrub Pad.
Dark (Animal) Spots
Try the above treatment for spots. If the stain hasn't been there too long, it may come up quickly. If the spot remains, apply household bleach to the spot (or oxalic acid from your druggist); let stand about an hour, rinse with a damp cloth, wipe dry, and smooth with a fine sandpaper. Touch up the spot with a Bruce Touch-Up Marker which will blend with your factory-stained floors. Let the stain dry, then wax and buff with a clean cloth or dry Bruce Scrub Pad. (Protect your hands from the oxalic acid with rubber gloves.)
Greasy Spots
Rub spot with a Bruce Scrub Pad soaked with Dark 'n' Rich or Lite 'n' Natural. If the stain persists, repeat the process using Clean 'n' Strip. Then apply a light coat of Dark 'n' Rich or Lite 'n' Natural. Let dry, then buff with a clean cloth or the dry end of a Bruce Scrub Pad. This remedy works well on lipsticks, crayon, and heel marks.
Ink Spots
Try household bleach or the oxalic acid treatment. Or lightly sand, wipe dry, and retouch with Bruce Touch-Up Marker which will blend with your factory stained floors. Let stain dry, then wax with Dark 'n' Rich or Lite 'n' Natural and buff with a clean cloth, or a dry Bruce Scrub Pad.
Cigarette Burns
If the burn is not too deep. Rub with medium and fine sandpaper. Restain with a Bruce Touch-Up Marker. Let stain dry, then wax with Dark 'n' Rich or Lite 'n' Natural, then buff with a clean cloth. If the burn is rather deep, lightly scrape the burned area with a pen knife to remove charred fibers. Rub area with medium and fine sandpaper, then stain with a Bruce Touch-Up Marker which will blend with your factory-stained floors. Let dry, then wax and buff with a clean cloth or a dry Bruce Scrub Pad.
Chewing Gum, Candle Wax
Apply a plastic bag filled with ice on top of the deposit until it becomes brittle enough to crumble off. Clean 'n' Strip can be helpful in removing stubborn areas. After deposit has been removed from the surface of the floor, re-wax and buff the entire area.
Wax Build-Up
Occasionally, wood floors become unsightly or lose their shine because of successive layers of old wax. To restore their natural beauty, strip old wax away with Clean 'n' Strip. Let dry and re-wax with Dark 'n' Rich or Lite 'n' Natural. Let dry, then buff to desired sheen.
Expansion Cracks and Squeaks
Hardwood floors are affected by two distinct humidity seasons - heating and non-heating. Recognizing that wood floor dimensions will be slightly affected by varying levels of humidity, care should be taken to control humidity levels within the 35-55% range. If humid or damp weather causes a slight expansion in your hardwood floor, the edges of boards may rub together, producing a squeak. For solid oak floors, a liberal amount of liquid wax or tal*** powder between the squeaking boards will usually quiet things down. For engineered, glued-down floors with squeaking boards or loose popping sounds, inquire about the Bruce Adhesive Repair Kit at your local retailer. Avoid excessive exposure to water from tracking during periods of inclement weather, Do not obstruct the expansion joints around the perimeter of your floors.
Refurbishing Scratched Areas
Scratches on Dura-Satin floor can be easily refurbished by using a Bruce Touch-Up Kit that blends with your factory stained floor color.

VQM Fabric I Got & A Question for You All
6 comments:
- Chris H said...
I have projects waiting in my head, so when I see a fat quarter or piece of material that I think I could use in the future projects I get it.
I have only bought 4 fat quarters that I've gotten home with and said: "What did I buy that for?" ,.... which is lucky!
- 22 July 2009 at 07:21
- Micki said...
I love the FQs...I buy them as I need them for a project. I enjoy getting so many fabrics at a time in various colours.
- 22 July 2009 at 08:27
- quilter1950 said...
Janice, I buy FQ's also, and use them in most of my projects, but I am a "scrap" quilter - so if the block calls for three colors, I will use three diff. fabrics of each color. That way, I use up my stash. For instance, in the green and pink one, I would probably use 2-3 dk. greens, one lt. green, and a few different pinks. I like the way it looks, and it keeps it interesting for me.

- jan said...
I love fat quarters, they are a great way to make your stash grow, its amazing what you can do with them too, if you get stuck Janice, there are a lot of books on the market specifically for using fat quarters. Or google 'quilts with fat quarters', then have fun. lol Jan x

I love fat quarters. My hubs calls them fat boys. lol If i'm buying them for myself I always buy at least two of each.

The Waterfront Small Area Plan contains a number of recommendations for improvements to the public spaces - its parks, paths, marina and shoreline - which are currently in various stages of implementation. The Plan seeks to achieve both major and minor improvements for nearly all of the City's waterfront public space network, from Daingerfield Island to Jones Point. Close coordination of all contractors involved in the improvements, namely flood mitigation, landscape design and more will be required to work clocely with the City, each other, and the community.
Improvements include:
Landscape Architectural Design: In late summer 2012, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Landscape Architectural Design Services for the waterfront. The solicitation closed September 28, 2012. The City's evaluation process began shortly thereafter and continues in early 2013.
Summary of Solicitation for Landscape Architectural Design (June 2012) RFP.
Flood Mitigation: The City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Flood Mitigation and Design for the Waterfront in May 2012; the solicitation closed over the summer. In December 2012, the City indicated that it has selected the firm of URS Corporation[NW1] to undertake this project for the waterfront. Once URS Corporation is onboard, information regarding the timeline and community participation process will be available.
Summary of Scope for Engineering Implementation Design and Flood Mitigation (May 2012)
The Art and History Waterfront Plans Implementation Committee: The Art and History Plans Implementation Committee consists of representatives from the Art and History communities appointed by the City's Office of the Arts and the Office of Historic Alexandria, respectively. The committee's purpose is to help facilitate integration of recommendations from the Art and History Plans into the implementation process for the Waterfront SAP, working with the City, Waterfront Commission and other community stakeholders. As one of its first key actions, in late fall 2012, the Committee drafted a Naming Policy for public spaces at the City's Waterfront The Committee has also drafted criteria and an application form. As of late fall, early winter 2012, these items had been reviewed by the Historic Alexandria Resources Commission, the Historical Restoration and Preservation Commission, the Commission for the Arts, the Archaeological Commission and the Waterfront Commission. The Waterfront Commission has endorsed the Naming Policy in a letter to City Manager Young dated December 5, 2012. The Naming Policy, Criteria and Form are attached to the letter[NW1] . Also, there has been general consensus among the other commissions. The Naming Policy is just one of several items which the Art and History Waterfront Implementation Committee is pursuing to facilitate the integration of the Art and History Plans into the Waterfront SAP implementation process. The Art and History Plans Implementation Committee is currently meeting bi-weekly on Thursdays at 7:00 PM at the Dr. Oswald Durant Center, 1605 Cameron Street, and meetings are open to the public. More information will be posted as available to the Waterfront Commission page.

Proposal Location: Phoenix Art Museum,
United States
Wedding Location: Arizona,
United States
Ultimately, I rented out the Phoenix Art Museum for an entire evening. I told Joanie we were celebrating a friend's birthday, but before we went to the restaurant, I had to drop off some legal documents at the museum (after hours) for my firm (I'm interning as a law student). When we arrived, I dropped off the "legal documents" (a manila envelope filled with blank paper) and asked if we might take a look around. The gentleman at the front door played his part perfectly and allowed us inside. As we began our tour, he radioed to staff members informing them of our presence.
The museum was completely empty, and we visited every exhibit and painting. At the end of the tour, there was a second floor hallway that opened into a balcony overlooking the Great Hall. As we walked down the hallway, Joan could see a romantic table set up in the middle of the great hall. She said, "We have to get out of here, someone's about to get engaged!" I only smiled at her. It was perfect.
As we walked to the balcony, I took her hand and directed her to a viewing area where a painting was depicted on an easel. I told her it was the last exhibit. It was a painting of the two of us, with her favorite Monet background. When she turned around, I was on one knee with ring in hand.
After that, we had a romantic dinner for two in the Great Hall of the Phoenix Art Museum with a personal waiter. After dinner, I surprised her again. I had invited all her friends and family to celebrate with us with a champagne toast and desserts.
It was truly a picturesque evening.

Travel firms moves into iconic Barrow building
Published at 13:25, Tuesday, 24 April 2012
BARROW has received a major jobs boost after a travel firm opened for business in an iconic town centre building.
Barrhead Travel has taken on the top floor and part of the ground floor of Emlyn Hughes House.
About 40 people, many of whom faced redundancy with Barrow-based Cumbria Cruise Centre, have been taken on by the Glasgow-based firm,
About 25 of those started on induction yesterday and were undergoing systems training today ahead of the phones going live next week at what is Barrhead's first English base.
Company chairman Bill Munro said: "It is our intention to expand here.
"We have got enough room, and an option on the ground floor, to accommodate 70 or 80 people.
"It depends on the take-up of the business.
"We are offering tailor-made holidays, long haul holidays, cruises, and hopefully there is the business for us to go into the corporate market as well."
And Mr Munro hinted that Barrhead Travel may even switch its company head office south of the border if Scotland votes for independence.
He said: "If that happens in Scotland we might look to move our head office south of the border.
"A lot of people in Scotland are thinking about it (independence) with emotion and with a Braveheart approach rather than taking a reality check on what it would really mean.
"It would not make business sense."
The 37-year-old family-run business, employs 550 people in 34 offices across Scotland and also has a travel agency and small call centre in Belfast.
Speaking about the offices in Emlyn Hughes House, Mr Munro said he was very impressed.
He said: "It's very nice. It's bright, it's modern.
"We are very happy to be here.
"There is a shortagegenerally of experienced travel consultants and the fact there were 40 down here who were available seemed too good to be true."
Managing director Jacqueline Dobson earlier said that Barrhead Travel had been looking at potential sites in England since August 2011.
Emlyn Hughes House was built in late 2007, and its only tenants had been the Crown Prosecution Service, who moved in during December 2008.
Chief executive of Barrow Borough Council Tom Campbell said the council were delighted to welcome the new tenants.
He said: "They are taking the top floor and part of the ground floor and we are hoping that they take more in the long run.
"We are delighted and have been speaking to them about it for a while.
"They have been looking to come to Barrow and looked at a few properties.
"Barrhead moving in just leaves part of the ground floor available, so we are looking to get a final tenant in there.
"But we are hoping that once they get settled then they might well take the rest of the building."
Furness Enterprise helped to attract the company to Barrow and said they were sold on the benefits of moving to the area to set up business.

Have your say
Apathy,towards Barrow,from second generation scots and irish who have no pride in the town that provides them with a living,never mind daltonians.
It seems to me that the Council is on a no win situation with this property.If it remains empty, or not to the "now" preferred options some suggest, they are on a loser.Now it is coming into use, it is being described as a white elephant....another loser.Money from Europe was available to assist with the construction; better some of it came to Barrow.Delighted to see this modern building coming into use, which has also helped retain a great many essential jobs. I see nothing wrong with progress when it provides the base for employment and will generate income for the Borough.

If you ask me here is the comparison. that is relivent to the Windows 95
And you also have to remember I have ran all of them
Win 286/386 Tree Maps (and 1.0/2.0)
Win 3.1 had -- "Windows with Icons on the Desktop"
then came Win95
People said
"Oh no how will I find the programs if they are not on the desktop-"
Microsoft said - In the start menu of-course
98/ME/2k/XP/ Start menu
Vista\7 all continued with the start menu Other than adding gadgets
Now with Windows 8
People say "where can I find my programs if they are not in the start menu?"
We have almost come full circle where the Icon's have returned to the desktop in one big window that scrolls except now they are called tiles and are active which replaced the gadgets" They basically combined Icons+ functions of a gadget = Tile .
Now that is a comparison to Win95 where people say it changes what people were used to- Which is exactly what Windows 8 does
What next this?

The fact is, there is nothing wrong with win8, as soon as Classic Shell is added. It then becomes a fine replacement for win7. It is the metro nonsense that is an epic fail. It is noteworthy that ms hedged their bets by leaving the ability to go back to full desktop. Win9 will surely see a built in option to choose.....

I agree 100% with Bill. My complaint about the ACM and other similar
contests, especially the international ones, is that they boil down to
math contests in disguise.
