Ceal is a ferocious Adult Drabbit that features 100% man-made fiber hair, intense custom made glass eyes, scaly reptilian wings, a shimmery metallic highlight, red and black coloration, long tentacle-like crown feathers, and a traditional dragon design!
Adult Drabbits are truly majestic creatures indeed! Their most distinctive feature is their heavy duty dual-cable system. Like all of our Drabbits, one cable is devoted to head articulation. The true magic of these little creatures, however, is in the second cable which enables this Adult Drabbit to wiggle their butt! Although they vary in size, extraordinary detail, posable wings and limbs, and custom designed glass eyes are just a few of the features that you will find in nearly every Adult Drabbit. Their countless movement capabilities make them some of our most realistic creations and with a little practice you will undoubtedly have people wondering, and even asking, what kind of animal is on your shoulder!
Please refer to the size reference image to get a general idea of how large Ceal is. Note that things like wing style and overall fluffiness will effect how large the individual Drabbit looks. Each and every Drabbit is hand crafted one at a time. The photographs on this product page are of the actual Drabbit that you will receive. We crafted Ceal exclusively for our Online Store, so you won't find another Drabbit just like this one at any of our other locations!
If you have any questions, please contact us and we will be happy to help!

This story was published July 6, 2013 and updated July 7 and 8.
UPDATE: The death toll from Saturday's explosion in Lac-Mégantic rose to 13 Monday afternoon and the Sûreté du Québec increased the number of people reported missing to 50.
Police said that out of respect for the families of those reported missing they would not say where the bodies had been found.
At a 5 p.m. news conference coroner's office spokesperson Geneviève Guilbeault urged families of the missing to present themselves at their makeshift office and said they should bring personal items that could contain the missing person's DNA, such as baseball caps, toothbrushes, razors and combs.
* * *
LAC-MÉGANTIC — Five bodies have been recovered from the site of a train explosion in downtown Lac-Mégantic, police said on Sunday afternoon.
About 40 people are still missing.
"It is a very large number, and hopefully we'll find some of them elsewhere," Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Michel Brunet said on Sunday.
That number is not exact and may change over the next day, police said.
No further details were available about the deceased, or the conditions in which they were found.
Investigators from the provincial coroner's service were on the scene to identify and transport the dead.
The intensity of the fire has made identifying some of the bodies difficult, said Geneviève Guilbault, a spokesperson for the coroner's office.
At least 100 SQ officers are working in the town, which is located 216 kilometres east of Montreal. But so far they have only been able to access a small part of the explosion site.
Much of the area remains unsafe as firefighters continue to try to extinguish the remnants of the huge blaze that consumed much of the town's centre early on Saturday morning.
Some residents displaced during the evacuation will be able to return to their homes soon, likely Sunday afternoon, police said. A few blocks of houses behind the explosion site have been declared safe, but most of the scene is still closed to everyone but emergency personnel.
A ban on drinking water imposed late Saturday night has been lifted, but residents should still boil their water for at least five minutes before drinking it, Lac-Mégantic's mayor Colette Roy-Laroche said.
"There is no contaminant in our water system at the moment," Roy-Laroche said, adding that the boil-water advisory is a precaution. She asked that residents continue to conserve water, to leave as much as possible for firefighting efforts.
Police are patrolling evacuated neighbourhoods to make sure homes aren't looted or vandalized.
Anyone who has an urgent need to return home to get medication is urged to make their way to the Mazda garage on Laval St. and police officers will be on hand to accompany people home to retrieve belongings that are urgently needed.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper will tour the devastation Sunday afternoon and has scheduled a news conference at 4:20 p.m. On Saturday, he tweeted his sympathy to residents of the stricken town, writing, "Thoughts & prayers are with those impacted in Lac-Megantic. Horrible news."
Premier Pauline Marois toured the town Saturday and said she was sad and shocked at the level of devastation. At an evening news conference Marois praised the town's mayor, Colette Roy-Larouche, for her courage and praised the team of first responders.
Benoit Quérion was inside a bar in the town's centre with about six others when the explosion happened.
"They're all dead," he said, when asked if he thought any of the others had survived.
After hearing the first explosion, he ran outside the bar. He said that amidst the smoke and flames he couldn't see anything left of the train cars that exploded.
"I ran like hell. I was chased by the fire," Quérion said.
His car was next to the explosion, and was completely destroyed, he said.
"The car's not a big deal. A lot of my friends were lost in there," he said.
The explosion completely levelled more than four blocks of the small town's downtown area.
"The sky was completely blotted out, a vivid red," said Viviane St-Pierre, who lives two blocks from the site of the explosion.
"Just as I opened my front door, the third explosion happened," she said. "When I opened the door, fireballs went up the block. I woke up my boyfriend and said 'Hurry up, we have to go, the train's on fire.'"
St-Pierre and her boyfriend, his face still covered with streaks of black soot, were at the Red Cross shelter near the town's high school, a few kilometres from the site of the explosion, where about 163 are staying and almost 500 people are on a waiting list for shelter.
More than 150 firefighters from neighbouring towns, Sherbrooke, Maine and elsewhere in the United States battled the blaze.
The train that careened into the centre of town was unmanned when it derailed and exploded, said a spokesperson for the company that owned the locomotive.
Joseph R. McGonigle told The Gazette that shortly before midnight, the train's conductor stopped in nearby Nantes, locked the brakes and checked to ensure that the rail cars carrying thousands of litres of crude oil were all securely attached.
He then checked into a nearby Lac-Mégantic hotel for the night. Another conductor was reportedly expected to take over driving the train within a few hours.
"Sometime after (the first conductor left), the train got loose," said McGonigle, who is vice-president of marketing for The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway. "It travelled under its own inertia to the centre of the town."
The locomotive portion of the 73-car train actually detached half a mile outside of the small town, he added, but the cars carrying the oil kept on rolling. McGonigle said there are security mechanisms in place to prevent anyone from tampering with the train, and the proper checks were done by the conductor before he left the vehicle. No one except him or another employee of the company should have been able to set it in motion.
The detached back end of the train remains on the tracks, about 11 kilometres outside of Lac-Mégantic.
At least 50 cars are somewhere south-east of the town, but many appear to have been completely destroyed in the explosion.
"How did this happen?" McGonigle asked. "There are many fail-safe modes. How this happened is just beyond us."
He added that nothing like this has ever occurred before with one of the company's trains.
The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway was founded in January of 2003. According to the company's website, it owns over 510 route miles of track, serving customers in Quebec, Maine, Vermont and New Brunswick.
McGonigle said the company is assisting authorities and will continue to cooperate with the investigation into the accident.
A Facebook page has been set up to help people find missing friends or relatives and the Sûreté du Québec has also set up a Facebook page to help locate missing persons.
About 2,000 residents have been evacuated from the town and a neighbouring community after air quality tests showed the fumes were toxic and contained dangerous particles. Those residents are being housed at the local high school where the Red Cross has set up cots and is providing food.
Investigators with the Transport Safety Bureau are on the scene but are waiting for firefighters to give the all-clear before proceeding with their investigation.
The SQ is asking anyone who believes someone is missing to notify the police by calling (819) 583-2441.

Whales are so gentle and intelligent and human continues to encroach on them, pollute their water and drive them into extinction. Such a tragic thing we do to other creatures. I've ALWAYS believed that whales, dolphins, horses, and elephants can see into our soul!! And when she said he looked.her in her eye, that gave me chills!! These animals and mammals can sense and feel your soul! How amazing and truly a once in a lifetime experience!! Truly amazing. Game of Thrones Indianapolis Colts crown shirt. If it looks you in the eye, listen. Most animals feel threatened when stared or looked at 8n the eyes. If they do this they are warning you about something. Listen. And they will convey their message to you as best they can. Look around you hardly notice everything as far as the can see, really listen to your surroundings, hear everything, and also smell hard. Sometimes a dog or cat is trying to tell you something doesn't smell right. Game of Thrones Indianapolis Colts crown shirt. Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and everyone's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

Juror dismissed in Bell, Calif., corruption case
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A weeping juror was dismissed for misconduct Thursday during deliberations in the public corruption trial of six former officials charged stealing from the suburban city of Bell.
The elderly woman admitted she looked up information online and had her daughter research what would constitute coercion by other jurors. Her dismissal came just days after she asked to be bumped from the panel because other jurors were harassing her.
An alternate juror was later chosen, and Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy ordered the panel to start anew as if previous deliberations had never occurred. They retired for the day after about 2 1/2 hours and were to resume talks Friday.
The former mayor and five city council members are on trial on charges of inflating part-time salaries that should have been closer to $8,000 a year to nearly $100,000. Prosecutors claimed the officials boosted their pay by serving on boards that hardly ever met and nearly bankrupted the tiny Los Angeles surburb.
The defendants said they earned the pay by working long hours and they blamed City Manager Robert Rizzo for the city's plight.
The jury, which has about 100 verdict forms to fill out, had been in its fifth day of deliberations after a three-week trial.
Deliberations were troubled from the outset when the woman identified only as juror No. 3 asked to be dismissed Monday. The judge asked her to return to deliberations and try to get along with the others.
On Thursday, the jury sent a note to the judge saying they were at an impasse and could not reach verdicts. Then, one juror sent a subsequent note reporting that juror No. 3 told panelists she had called her personal attorney to seek information on what to do about being coerced by other jurors.
The judge summoned defendants and lawyers to her courtroom and asked the juror to explain her actions. The woman, who was verging on tears, said she never actually called a lawyer.
"I gave them the attorney's name so they would leave me alone," she said.
But she said she had asked her adult daughter to look up the definition of coercion on her computer. She told the others that she had the definition but didn't read it to them.
The judge asked why she ignored admonitions not to talk to anyone about the case. She said she needed someone to talk to "about the abuse I was suffering from the other jurors."
She said the daughter told her to be patient and everything would be fine.
She added that she also did research on a website of the California Law Library to find out how long she had to stay "when I had made my decision."
At one point, she buried her face in her hands and began to cry.
"Am I in trouble for this?" she asked.
Most of the attorneys and the prosecutor agreed that the juror had to be replaced.
"I believe it is plain that she was engaged in juror misconduct," said Deputy District Attorney Edward Miller. "How much she tainted other jurors is not clear. I've never seen it so well documented."
The judge told the juror she was being dismissed.
"You're not in trouble," she told her. "There's no reason to be upset. That's why we have alternates."
The juror was sobbing as she was escorted out of the courtroom.
During the trial, the prosecution said the defendants convinced themselves they were entitled to nearly six-figure salaries for part-time positions governing the tiny blue-collar city where the median income is $35,000.
Rizzo, the city manager, and his assistant, Angela Spaccia, who were allegedly behind the looting of the city coffers, face trial later in the year.
The officials on trial are former Mayor Oscar Hernandez, former Vice Mayor Teresa Jacobo and former council members George Mirabal, George Cole, Victor Bello and Luis Artiga. All except Artiga served as mayor at some point.

Story highlights
New Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez under pressure as Blues capitulate at West Ham
Arsenal slump to 2-0 defeat to Swansea City at the Emirates Stadium
Manchester City drop points at home to Everton; Spurs win comfortably against Fulham
Manchester United go three points clear at top of table after first-half goal-fest at Reading
Chelsea slumped to a 3-1 defeat against West Ham at Upton Park on Saturday to heap further pressure on interim manager Rafa Benitez.
Juan Mata gave the visitors the lead in the 13th minute, but three second half goals – one a piece for Carlton Cole, Mohamed Diame and Modibo Maiga – saw Chelsea crash to their third loss in seven Premier League matches.
Since replacing Roberto Di Matteo earlier this month, Benitez has picked up just two points from three league games and continues to incur the wrath of some Chelsea supporters who once again held up banners signifying their distaste for the Spaniard.
With 26 points from 15 games the Blues have now made their worst start to a Premier League season since Roman Abramovich took over at Stamford Bridge in 2003.
The win moves West Ham up to eighth place, four points behind their more glamorous West London rivals.
Meanwhile in north London, Arsenal went down to a similarly discomfiting defeat at the hands of Swansea City at the Emirates.
The game looked to be heading towards a draw before two late goals from Spanish striker Miguel Michu snatched all three points for Michael Laudrup's side.
The win extends the Welsh club's unbeaten league run to six matches and lifts them to seventh in the table with 20 points. Arsenal are now tenth.
Read: Football remembers Christmas Truce
Manchester United sealed a thrilling 4-3 win against Reading at the Madejski Stadium with all the goals coming in the first half.
Hal Robson-Kanu put the home side in front in the eighth minute before Anderson equalized five minutes later.
Wayne Rooney edged United ahead with a spot kick three minutes later only for Adam Le Fondre to restore parity in the 19th minute. Four minutes later, Reading were back in front again as Sean Morrison headed home from a corner.
Rooney levelled the scores again on the half-hour mark before Robin van Persie joined the party with a cool finish in the 34th minute to complete a breathless opening period.
A frenetic first half gave way to a more sober encounter after the break with both teams creating few clear-cut chances.
United's win – their third in a row – puts them on 36 points at the top of the table, three clear of reigning champions Manchester City who dropped precious points on Saturday, drawing 1-1 with Everton at the Etihad Stadium.
Marouanne Fellaini put David Moyes' team ahead in the 33 minute before Carlos Tevez equalized from the penalty spot 10 minutes later after Edin Dzeko had been brought down.
Everton's Merseyside rivals, Liverpool picked a valuable three points against Southampton at Anfield – Daniel Agger scoring the only goal of the game two minutes before the break.
The win moves Brendan Rodgers' side up 11th with 19 points from 15 games.
Two goals from Jermain Defoe and one from Raniere Sandro earned Tottenham Hotspur a resounding 3-0 victory against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The win lifts Spurs to fourth, level on points with both Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion – Steve Clarke's men slumped to their second consecutive defeat losing 1-0 to Stoke City.
Harry Redknapp's second game in charge of Queen's Park Rangers saw the Premier League's bottom side pick up a point against Aston Villa.
Brett Holman gave the Villa the lead in the eighth minute before Scottish striker Jamie Mackie equalized ten minutes later before a stalemate ensued.
The result still leaves QPR rock bottom with six points while Villa are 16th with 14 points.

Beat the Streak Report: Thursday, September 9
What's good streakers? I'm Matt Chaprales and I'll be handling the blog for a few days while Dave enjoys some much-needed time off.
It takes some spine to approach the territory our leader "bretzky26" is toeing these days, and once again he/she made a bold pick on Wednesday by selecting Orlando Cabrera.
However, O-Cab was given the day off.

Note: Will be down to 4 leader pages or less tomorrow
And on his 105th pitch, Porcello gets Pierre to fly out for possibly the last AB of the day (8th inning). If so, leader position changes.
Beat the Streak: Matt Holliday
Survivor: White Sox (Fail) Should have taken the Rockies, another right pick loses with the White Sox losing 3 straight to the Tigers. Back to 0 again, I have not been above 3 in survivor since August 2nd. I knew today would be bad. Can Matt Holliday come through or is this going to be a double reset that I dread.
@yanksgiantsdevils33: Top of 9th, down by 3, no outs, 1 man on. A bloop and a blast and CWS tie DET. If so, your streak may continue and like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, the leader may get another AB.
^^^ nope, new leader and just 1 making a run at $3M

I'm endanger of FAILING in survivor for the season with my current streak ending at 3 and my longest streak is 9. Another reset to 0 because of another team that made a mediocre pitcher look like an ace with FEWER than 7 hits, 4 to be exact.
Now I've got to examine matches a day or 2 early incase of any signs of an upset. Tomorrow I'm considering the Reds over the Pirates, the Phillies over the Mets or the Tigers over the Orioles.

Good nite all. Cubs & Starlin for Survivor/BTS tomorrow. Could be a slugfest, or lopsided, but not a pitcher's dual
As the Beatles sang: Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say: It's alright!
The Sunshine Boys shined again today as both Alex "El Sol Gatto" and Troy "The Sun God" Tulowitzki both went deep.

Since there are no day games tomorrow, I decided to stay up for the last game, to watch the remaining players' fates be determined.
I also suppose it would comfort them to know that someone else IS watching for them.
The ones I am waiting on right now before I can rest comfortably are Pablo Sandoval and Adrian Gonzalez.
Outside of those two, 43 more players were eliminated today, bringing the count of players still in contention down to 120 players.
Both Pablo Sandoval and Adrian Gonzalez are now 0 for 3 with probably just 1 more AB remaining each.
Both Pablo Sandoval and Adrian Gonzalez went 0 for 4, so that eliminates another 5 players, which means 115 players remain heading into Friday.
I am pretty tired though so I probably will not be awake tomorrow until the afternoon to talk about picks for tomorrow ngiht.
Thank heavens there are no day games!
Goodnight everyone!!!
Oh, one more thing before I sign off for the night.
This question is actually for Dave: Can you tell us how many total hits the leaders at 43 each have? Maybe answer that in the blog entry tomorrow?
Or if you are not allowed to tell us who is winning right now, can you tell us how many total hits the current leader had during their streak?
Just curious what benchmark the tiers are chasing???
Goodnight again!
I had Matt Holliday, thankfully he got a double before he was ejected.
I called it an early nite yesterday and looking at BTS this AM, appears the money chasers took a big hit overnight. I know champion_88 buffers his cutoff to include streaks that would end +2 days after Oct 3rd, but I only include those that are still mathematically alive (streaks of 19+ for Friday). And looking at the leaderboard this AM, only 57 of 102 made it thru to this morning. Almost a 50% cut!
^^ can't even count early in the AM without my coffee. 77 of 102 made it thru; still a hefty drop overnight

Rosenberg telling it like it is… the market is ahead of itself and over valued. He says the government should be promoting savings and not promoting spending as they are. I love guys like the other commentator who "agree completely" about the long term problems, but disagree in the short term and are still bullish. What nonsense, so much playing it both ways, Rosenberg keeps his eye on the ball and points out that total bank credit is down 15% and that it is simply government spending making up the difference (with your money).

Tribe finds success with Kazmir-Gomes battery
MINNEAPOLIS -- Indians manager Terry Francona does not want to mess with a good thing. That is why he plans on keeping left-hander Scott Kazmir teamed with backup catcher Yan Gomes for the foreseeable future.
"He's done such a good job," Francona said of Gomes, "and it seems like he got [Kazmir] on a roll. ... Unless something happens, we'll keep doing it. And we want Gomes to play."
A quick glance at the numbers makes it easy to see why Francona likes the pairing.
In 11 starts with Gomes behind the plate, Kazmir has posted a 2.95 ERA with a .630 opponents' OPS over 64 innings. In six starts with catcher Carlos Santana, the left-hander has a 7.39 ERA to go along with a 1.041 opponents' OPS across 28 innings.
Gomes has caught each of Kazmir's last six starts, during which the pitcher has gone 2-0 with a 1.95 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP in 37 innings. During that stretch, Kazmir has ranked first among American League starters (minimum 25 innings) in opponents' on-base percentage (.229) and second with an average of 7.78 baserunners per nine innings.
"He's a great catcher," Kazmir said. "I just feel like we've clicked and everything. Not to say anything about one or the other -- we just ended up going on a consecutive streak. It's just one of those things. He's knowledgeable about the game. He really is. He calls a great game and receives the ball really well."
Francona said he does not typically like to fall into a situation where a pitcher has a personal catcher (pairing knuckleballer Tim Wakefield with catcher Doug Mirabelli in Boston was an exception). There are times, however, when doing so makes sense in light of the production.
"I've never been real big on doing that," Francona said, "because you kind of pigeonhole yourself with a lineup."
When Francona starts Gomes, the manager usually shifts Santana to first base or designated hitter. That causes a chain reaction that forces one of the club's regulars to the bench. One of the positives of starting Gomes in games, though, is that it builds in time for the young catcher to play.
"When he first came up," Francona said, "I remember saying, 'We'll keep him here as long as it doesn't get in the way of his development.' And he's playing enough where he's OK."

The park has more than 100 species of trees and 4,000 species of plants. Some people say if you throw a rock and then trace its path, you're likely to walk by at least 30 different kinds of trees.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park encompasses more than 500,00 acres and straddles North Carolina and Tennessee, making it the largest national park in the East.
Oconaluftee Visitor Center
Along with knowledgeable rangers who can help you plan your time in the park, fabulous exhibits will take you back in time among the early settlers and Cherokee who called these mountains home. The visitor center chronicles the culture and history of the Smokies, from exhibits on the Civil War in the Smokies to moonshine making. Located on U.S. 441 at the North Carolina entrance to the park, north of Cherokee and near the terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway. 828.497.1904.
Mountain Farm Museum
This stroll through an historic Appalachian farm offers a window on the ingenuity and self-reliance of early mountain people and Cherokee. A blacksmith shop to make everything from barn door hinges to horseshoes, a spring house to keep milk and butter cool, and sundry buildings for storing the food they raised, from corn cribs to apple houses to smoke houses. The outhouse is a guaranteed eye-opener for kids. Located at the entrance to the park on U.S. 441 just north of Cherokee.
Deep Creek
Enjoy a little of everything at Deep Creek. Hiking to waterfalls, picnicking, mountain biking, camping and what Deep Creek is famous for: tubing. Several outfitters rent inner tubes to float all day in the creek. This is a fantastic place to visit for a few hours because you can do so many different activities without having to go to different places. If you are in the Bryson City area, treat yourself to a visit.
Mingus Mill
The rumble of mill stones, the whistle of corn meal sliding down the wooden shoot, the slap-slap-slap of water falling over the giant paddle wheel. Explore this historic site just one mile from the park entrance on U.S. 441 north of Cherokee.
Clingmans Dome
A paved half-mile trail leads to a soaring lookout tower atop the highest peak in the Smokies. At 6,643 feet, the panoramic view offers spectacular scenery and is one of the best examples of the region's famed blue mountain ridges marching endlessly across the horizon. The tower features a spiraling 375-foot ramp to the top.
Cataloochee Valley
History and nature intersect in this picturesque meadow, a long, narrow valley cradled by mountains on all sides. An elk herd has been re-introduced into the park and calls the valley home. Cataloochee Valley is also home to a former mountain settlement, with intact farm houses, churches, schoolhouse and cemeteries that can be toured by car and short walks. Pick up an interpretive brochure at the campground on the left after you get down to the valley floor that describes the historic buildings.
Big Creek
This relatively isolated area is a favorite of locals, with a campground, bathroom, picnic area and jumping off point for some great hikes into the Smokies, including the all-day hike up to Mount Cammerer look-out tower. One of the coldest, clearest swimming holes in the Smokies — aptly named Midnight Hole — is a short one-mile-hike up the wide Big Creek Trail.

Extraction is the process whereby the essence or edible parts are separated from the rest of a raw material for use in a processed product. The method varies somewhat depending on the raw material being used.
For tea, the extraction system is semi-continuous. The tea extract is cooled and clarified (where required) before being blended, heat treated and packaged in downstream processing equipment.
For soy, the concentrate is extracted from the beans by grinding, fibre separation, deodorisation and enzyme deactivation. This is done before recipe formulation and aseptic treatment, and finally packaging of the commercial product. This quality of the product is determined by a variety of factors, including the type of beans, the extraction method and the product formulation.
Tetra Pak extraction units perform grinding, fibre separation, deodorisation and enzyme deactivation.
Tea extraction system for extracting good quality RTD tea from tea leaves. Please contact us for more information.
The extraction unit is a system for the continuous extraction of soya base from whole or dehulled soya beans.

With a $6 box (CM17A) the Arduino can also send commands over RF.
This is starting to sound very expensive. I know running wires can be a pain but if you go wireless I see the following problems (warning, personal bias against wireless follows)a) expensive.b) not secure, your neighbours can switch your lights off (ok unlikely)c) local power, every room has to have a power supply off the mainsd) expensiveDid I mention it will get expensive. An Arduino and at least one (but probably two) shields in each room, that's maybe $50 but probably more.What functions do you need in a room, so far you've really only mentioned turning on/off lights.
I've got to go with BroHogan and suggest X10.
I'm not sure whether it's true or not but in reference to the wikipedia article about x10 it's totally useless in germany,

Danforth Center Announces Four New Lead Investigators
New hires bring significant expertise in phenomics and plant genomics to the region.
St. Louis, MO, January 12, 2014 --(
)-- The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center has hired four new lead scientists to expand the Center's groundbreaking work in plant phenomics, genomics, root structure, pathogens, and bioenergy grasses. An additional 10 – 12 scientific personnel will be recruited to each laboratory team.
The four investigators were identified through a broad search for scientists who are making important discoveries in areas that include the genetic factors that enable plants to respond to drought, pests, and other challenges. These discoveries provide the foundation for translational research leading to commercial applications that will improve agricultural productivity.
"We are excited about the focus of the research that will be explored by the new investigators. The groups will strengthen our efforts to use genomics, imaging, and analytical technologies to accelerate discovery and contribute to achieving food and energy security," said Jim Carrington, president of the Center.
Elizabeth Kellogg, Ph.D., joins the Danforth Center as a Member. Dr. Kellogg studies cereal crops and the evolution, domestication, and genetic architecture of their wild relatives in the grass family. Her research has lead to identification of genes that contribute to the diversity of the primary cereal crops used for food. From 1998-2013 Kellogg was the E. Desmond Lee and Family Professor of Botanical Studies at the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL). Prior to her tenure at UMSL, she was an Associate Professor at Harvard University, where she received her Ph.D. in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Academia Nacional de Ciencias, Argentina, and the Academy of Science of St. Louis.
"Having moved to St. Louis in 1998, I've watched the growth and development of the Danforth Center since its beginning. I am excited to join the Center and to work with an incredible group of people," Kellogg said. "My work on development and genomics of cereal grasses contributes directly to the Center's focus on translating basic research into results that provide food and fuel for the U.S. and the world."
Rebecca Bart, Ph.D., joins the Center as an Assistant Member. Her lab will combine genetics research with molecular and computational biology to study the mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions in cassava and other plants. Before joining the Danforth Center, Dr. Bart was a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California-Berkeley where she worked to further understand the molecular and genetic interaction between cassava and the pathogen that causes "Cassava Bacterial Blight." She received her Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from the University of California-Davis and her B.A. from Reed College in Portland, Oregon.
Dan Chitwood, Ph.D., joins the Danforth Center as an Assistant Member. His research will explore the relationship between gentotype and phenotype, particularly as it relates to leaf development. Prior to joining the Center, Dr. Chitwood was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California-Davis. He received a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and a B.S from the University of California−Davis.
Christopher Topp, Ph.D., joins the Danforth Center as an Assistant Member. He is pioneering new approaches for understanding how environmental and genetic factors influence root growth in plants. As a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow at Duke University, Dr. Topp directed the development of a high-throughput 3D root imaging and analysis pipeline to map regions of the rice genome that determine root architecture. He received his Ph.D. in Plant Biology and B.S. in Genetics from the University of Georgia.
"The Danforth Center is unique because of its focus on real-world impact. The Center's culture will allow me to translate scientific discoveries into tangible improvements in crop yield and sustainability," Topp said. "And the St. Louis community has a rare enthusiasm for plant science. I can't imagine another place that would be more supportive of my research goals, and I greatly anticipate future collaborations and synergies with my new colleagues."

Micke wrote:These great sounding synths, regardless of version, don't show up all too often on ebay. This
particular example is the duophonic keyboard version:
Nyle Steiner told me a while ago that he sometimes made custom equipment with silver panels long after they had switched to the black painted ones.
The biggest reason they switched to black painted panels was that when making the silver panels, they were sanding the aluminum themselves. This
was a laborious task and it was difficult to get consistent results. The later brushed aluminum panels were made by using a wet wire brush and that
worked well enough. Nyle recalls there was also some discussion with his partners about using black because it seemed to be a popular color for synth
panels at the time.
Hello Micke, do you know on what recordings this synth was used? This is one of those machines I've always been intrigued on, I don't know, it seems interesting and also I read that at some point, when you bought this synth, Steiner Parker gave you a Free Sequencer!! Cheers

The kitchen has long been seen as the heart of a home, functioning not only as a place to eat, but also somewhere to socialise & entertain. With plenty of more modern homes being built around open plan living, keeping the space safe & in lovely working order could be even more important.
Irrespective of how your home is set up, & how safety conscious you think you are, it's still a lovely suggestion to keep in mind that the kitchen can be the most hazardous room in the house. It is filled with a considerable number of potential hazards, & in the UK, 2.7 million people were treated in hospital for accidents in the house last year. So it makes sense to keep your kitchen as safe as feasible to make sure you can avoid the most obvious pitfalls.
Safety conscious? Get home insurance and make sure your kitchen is covered too! Continue reading →

(Reuters) - As the nations of the world struggle in Doha to agree even modest targets to tackle global warming, the cuts needed in rising greenhouse gas emissions grow ever deeper, more costly and less likely to be achieved.
U.N. talks have delivered only small emissions curbs in 20 years, even as power stations, cars and factories pump out more and more heat-trapping gases.
An overriding long-term goal set by all nations two years ago to keep temperature rises to less than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) above levels prior to the Industrial Revolution is fast slipping away.
"The possibility of keeping warming to below 2 degrees has almost vanished," Pep Canadell, head of the Global Carbon Project at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization, told Reuters.
Disagreements mean the U.N. climate talks in Doha, Qatar, that run until December 7 have scant chance of making meaningful progress. The talks are aimed at reaching a new deal to start by 2020 to slow climate change in the form of more floods, droughts, rising sea levels and severe storms like Hurricane Sandy that lashed the U.S. Northeast last month.
Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas, have risen 50 percent since 1990 and the pace of growth has picked up since 2000, Canadell said. In the past decade, emissions have grown about 3 percent a year despite an economic slowdown, up from 1 percent during the 1990s.
Based on current emissions growth and rapid industrial expansion in developing nations, emissions are expected to keep growing by about 3 percent a year over the next decade.
For the talks to have any chance of success in the long run, emissions must quickly stop rising and then begin to fall. Temperatures have already risen by 0.8 C (1.4 F) since pre-industrial times.
"The alarm bells are going off all over the place. There's a disconnect between the outside world and the lack of urgency in these halls," Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned Scientists said at the Doha talks.
Nearly 1,200 coal-fired power plants, among the biggest emitters, are proposed around the globe, with three-quarters of them planned for China and India, a study by the Washington-based World Resources Institute think-tank said last week.
Emissions from China, the world's top carbon polluter, are growing 8 to 9 percent a year and are now about 50 percent higher than those of the United States. And China's carbon emissions are not expected to peak until 2030.
In some projections, global emissions will need to go into reverse by mid-century, with the world sucking more carbon out of the air than it puts in, if warming is to be kept to below 2 C.
And air pollution, mostly particles from fossil fuel use, may be masking the warming by dimming sunshine.
"Those aerosols today hide about one-third of the effect of greenhouse gases," Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, vice-chairman of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), told Reuters.
Without that pollution, a breach of the 2 degree threshold might already be inevitable, he said.
The latest IPCC report, in 2007, said keeping greenhouse gas concentrations low would cost less than 3 percent of world gross domestic product by 2030. So far, the panel has not assessed the costs of delays, said Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the panel.
The report also said that world emissions of greenhouse gases would need to peak by 2015 to give a good chance of keeping the average temperature rise to below 2 C.
But deep disagreement on future emissions cuts between rich and poor nations has delayed the start of a new global pact until 2020, undermining the chances of a robust extension in Doha of the existing plan, the Kyoto Protocol, which obliges almost 40 rich nations to cut emissions until the end of 2012.
The deadline for a deal on new cuts due to start in 2020 has been put back to 2015, giving breathing space for the troubled talks as ever more carbon enters the air.
Yet current emissions cut pledges are putting the planet on course for a warming of 3 to 5 C, a U.N. report said last week, adding that 2 C was still possible with tough action.
"The later we go in getting complete action and the higher emissions are in 2020, the greater is the risk that these targets are not possible or are extremely expensive," said Bill Hare, head of the non-profit advisory organization Climate Analytics.
Key will be a switch to nuclear or biomass power and carbon capture and storage. If these don't step up, there will be no financially feasible solutions to meet the target, he said.
In Doha, both the United States and the European Union - the main emitters among developed nations - say they will not deepen their pledges for cuts by 2020. "It's a desperate situation," said Martin Kaiser of Greenpeace.
To be effective, the next climate pact from 2020 would need global agreement for rapid and deep cuts. Under a scenario drawn up by the IPCC, rich nations needed to achieve cuts of 25 to 40 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels.
But existing pledges are for less than 20 percent.
Canadell, citing work by the Global Carbon Project and other researchers, said that to have a reasonable chance of keeping warming to 2 C, global emissions would have to drop about 3 percent a year from 2020.
Since developed nations are meant to take the lead, that would mean the rich would have to cut by between 4 and 5 percent a year, he said. That could cripple economies by prematurely shutting down coal-fired power plants and polluting factories.
Global accountancy firm PwC estimated that the improvement in global carbon intensity - the amount of carbon emitted per unit of economic output - needed to meet a 2 C target had risen to 5.1 percent a year, from now to 2050.
"We have passed a critical threshold - not once since World War Two has the world achieved that rate of decarbonisation, but the task now confronting us is to achieve it for 39 consecutive years," PwC said.

One of the patients featured in the TIME cover story I wrote last March--"Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us"--was Emilia Gilbert, a school-bus driver. Gilbert was 61 years old in 2008 when she slipped and fell one evening in her backyard in Fairfield, Conn.
She was taken to the emergency room at Bridgeport Hospital, where she was treated for some cuts and a broken nose. She left a few hours later with a bill for $9,418, which included $6,538 for CT scans and $239 for a routine blood test. The charges, I found, were based on something called the hospital chargemaster--a list of hugely inflated prices that no one could explain or defend.
Medicare--which by law pays hospitals and other providers their actual costs, including overhead--would have paid Bridgeport Hospital just $825 for those CT scans and $13.94 for that blood test.
When Gilbert, who was earning about $22,000 a year, was unable to pay, she was sued by the hospital, which is part of the Yale--New Haven Health System. A judge ordered her to pay off her bill in $20 weekly payments over six years.
But that was before Obamacare.
Tucked onto page 737 of the law, enacted on March 23, 2010, is a provision that was supposed to eliminate that kind of dunning and overbilling. Section 9007 of the Affordable Care Act instructs the Internal Revenue Service to take away the tax exemption for nonprofit hospitals like Yale--New Haven unless they become aggressive about informing patients clearly of the availability of financial aid and take steps to learn whether patients need such assistance before they hand over their bills to lawyers or debt collectors.
More important for Gilbert and hundreds of thousands of patients like her, Section 9007 says the IRS can now take away a hospital's tax exemption if it tries to charge patients who needed financial aid more than the average amount paid for services by insurance companies and Medicare. In other words, hospitals cannot try to make people like Gilbert pay the inflated chargemaster prices.
That's a big deal. And it's been black-letter law for more than 3½ years.
So how can it be that, two months ago, Jeremy Kopylec, a warehouse worker who lives in Northford, Conn., was sued by Yale--New Haven Hospital for $6,129? The suit, filed on Oct. 3, has to do with the bill Kopylec incurred four years earlier, when he was taken to the emergency room after what he says was a "minor motorcycle accident."
At the time of the accident, Kopylec says, he had just gotten a job following a period of unemployment, but "my insurance hadn't kicked in yet. So they came after me for the whole bill ... I told them I could not afford it."
"I spent about 2½ hours in the ER, and all they really did was clean up some road rash," Kopylec, 27, recalls, adding that "since the marshal came with the summons, I've worked out a plan to pay all of it off in monthly payments" of $100, extending over the next five years.
That Kopylec did not get the protection that Obamacare now requires is not a matter of Yale--New Haven violating the law. It's not about a website not working. Nor is it about Republican efforts to sabotage the law or some judge blocking it.

Spanish-based technology company YPSICON is dedicated to technology development and the design and manufacturing of systems for the processing and packing of food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. YPSICON has led the way in Research and Development, resulting in the launch of a unique patented chemical free aseptic packaging process using SMC�s electric solutions.
Vitoria, Spain (June 10, 2015) � Manufacturers are constantly
looking to introduce new packaging solutions that respond to increasing
consumer demand for improvements to the shelf life and quality of food and
drink products.
As this battle to extend the life of consumable goods heats up, companies have been using a variety of techniques to effectively sterilise packaging.
The Issues Some of the most frequently employed methods is the aseptic process that uses chemicals such as H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) and CH3COOOH (peracetic acid). However, these chemicals can pose a risk for consumers if not removed without trace and they�re also dangerous for machine operators and the environment because of their toxic nature. In addition, these disinfectants have a food oxidation capacity which can affect the nutritional and organoleptic qualities of food and drink products to be packaged.
The Solution YPSICON has solved this issue by inventing a patented continuous packaging process, removing the need for chemicals, including H2O2 and CH3COOOH, which incorporates products from SMC�s electric solutions range.
The Patent Unlike other solutions, YPSICON�s uses slimline,
high strength Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) lamps that have the power and output
of mWatts/cm2. They are U shaped, which resolves the blind spot issue, as
the connections are located at one end and no longer cast shadows across
the other end. They are also thin enough to enter through the mouth of commercial
bottles, which are accepted aesthetically by consumers, and have an internal
diameter of 25-30 mm. This means the entire exterior and internal surface
of the plastic and glass bottles and their caps are irradiated without using
chemicals to complement the aseptic process.
The continuous process starts with the preliminary bottle preparation and formation, which introduces the bottles into a tunnel or cabin. These bottles then enter a micro-filtered, over pressurised air flow cabinet, at a pressure greater than or equal to 50 KPa (= 0.5 bar) in laminar regime to prevent microbiological contamination. Inside this cabinet, YPSICON�s UV-C sterilization modules, equipped with UV-C lamps, irradiate the inside surface of bottles so they are fully sterilised.
Immediately after the sterilisation stage, the bottles are filled using
an aseptic watertight 15 valve, whilst simultaneously irradiating the internal
surface of the caps as they are moved along an open channel. The bottles
are finally sealed with irradiated caps using a robotic or mechanised arm.
YPSICON's sales manager, Leo Moreta, said: "We are at the forefront of processing and packaging technologies that deliver high quality, 100% natural clean-label products that are increasingly demanded by consumers.
"From this perspective, the demand for aseptic packaging is on the rise, due to the efficiency of this packaging process and the key advantages it delivers in terms of extended shelf life and better quality products.
"However, the equipment traditionally used for aseptic bottling machine builders has been expensive and used chemicals which bring a risk of product contamination. Our patented YPSICON solution, using Ultraviolet-C light, removes the need for chemicals, streamlines the packaging process, allowing the development of lower cost aseptic filling lines, and guarantees a better end product."
SMC's Solution
When developing this unique process, YPSICON needed to partner with a supplier that could provide high quality, reliable components and approached SMC for a solution.
As the application was not demanding in terms of speed or deceleration, and only required two positions with a maximum ascent deceleration of 1500 mm/seg², SMC recommended its LEFS25 slide type electric actuator. The LEFS25 guarantees smooth movement, eliminating vibrations which could easily damage the fragile UV lamp.
In addition, SMC provided its LECSA Controller that guarantees faultless speed control and is easy to programme. The LECSA's pre-programmed digital I/O removes the need for complicated pulse train programming using fieldbus technology, which created additional benefits in terms of time and cost.
YPSICON's head of technological development, David Guamis, added: "One of the main benefits of SMC's electric actuators used in our machines is their low energy consumption and the precision they provide in several positions, key to reducing costly vibration. What's also remarkable is the progressive start and stop, which is crucial to be able to switch between different formats. SMC's servo motor driver also simplifies the system programming and significantly improves overall performance."
