Aesthetic Photo Album
Marcus Ward & Co. Ltd., England c. 1878
Perhaps the finest Aesthetic era photo album known, this extraordinary embossed leather-bound volume contains thirteen chromolithograph still-life compositions illustrating identifiable artifacts of the era, including Minton vases and Coleman chargers, as well as other requisite objects of beauty and leisure such as Asian fans and Eastern opium pipes. Each scene is composed in accordance with Oscar Wilde's dictum of "Art for Art's sake" Like a cabinet of treasured possessions and momentos so typical of the time, the stunningly collaged arrangements are intended to incorporate the owner's prized photographs into its rarified, artful world. In remarkably fine condition for its age, the volume features gilt edges and an embossed blue kid leather binding.

MCL1 is phosphorylated in the PEST region and stabilized upon ERK activation in viable cells, and at additional sites with cytotoxic okadaic acid or taxol.
BCL2 family members are subject to regulation at multiple levels, providing checks on their ability to contribute to tumorigenesis. However, findings on post-translational BCL2 phosphorylation in different systems have been difficult to integrate. Another antiapoptotic family member, MCL1, exhibits a difference in electrophoretic mobility upon phosphorylation induced by an activator of PKC (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate; TPA) versus agents that act on microtubules or protein phosphatases 1/2A. A multiple pathway model is now presented, which demonstrates that MCL1 can undergo distinct phosphorylation events - mediated through separate signaling processes and involving different target sites - in cells that remain viable in the presence of TPA versus cells destined to die upon exposure to taxol or okadaic acid. Specifically, TPA induces phosphorylation at a conserved extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK) site in the PEST region (Thr 163) and slows turnover of the normally rapidly degraded MCL1 protein; however, okadaic acid and taxol induce ERK-independent MCL1 phosphorylation at additional discrete sites. These findings add a new dimension to our understanding of the complex regulation of antiapoptotic BCL2 family members by demonstrating that, in addition to transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, MCL1 is subject to multiple, separate, post-translational phosphorylation events, produced in living versus dying cells at ERK-inducible versus ERK-independent sites.[1]References

Finally Friday - A Note of Thanks
Good morning!
Have you ever had to recreate a card because you totally messed it up the first time? Well, that's what happened with this week's Finally Friday card. I think we can all learn a lesson to just slow down because I'm pretty sure the reason why I had to make this card twice is because I was in a hurry. :)
Anyhow, enjoy the video! You can watch it over at YouTube, or below. Thanks for watching! :)

Digital Weekly Challenge: Soda Pop Challenge!
It's time for another fun challenge here at 2Ps and I am so excited to be sharing this one with you all! I just love the design of these soda/juice bottles and the colors are just to die for! Since I loved them so much, I decided to create a mini kit and template for everyone to use just in case you wanted to use the colors from the inspiration as well. And the template is there to help everyone participate. Scrap time seems to running away from me at a rapid pace these days! I hope you like the inspiration and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
I hope to see many lovely layouts from you all!
You can participate in the challenge HERE and you can pick up the free kit and template HERE.

happy saturday, peas! it's mooner363 here with this month's Sketch It Out. so i'll stop lolly-gagging and get on with the sketch:
I like to keep things simple (and rather square) :)
here's my version on my sketch:
even though the sketch is for an 8.5x11, i adapted it to a 12x12 layout. i also extended my journaling tag and added the decorative border using a punch.
so go try it out and have a great rest of your weekend!

Finally Friday - Pink/Magenta Butterfly
Good morning, all!
For this week's card, I wanted to try out the Invisables line from Heidi Swapp. This is a pretty cool concept that I saw demonstrated at CHA last January. It reminded me a lot of the emboss resist technique that I've seen done with stamping. Anyway, take a look (I demonstrate it at the beginning of the video) and see how I created a multicolor element for my card. :)
The paper from the line that I used is the 12x12 Border piece--lots of strips of borders. Great for cardmakers! I ordered some of the chipboard that I can't wait to try out, too. The stamped butterfly is from Amy Butler's Lotus Floral stamp set. I think this might be my all time favorite butterfly stamp. I loved it a bit too much! :)
Anyhow, enjoy the video below or over at YouTube. And thank for watching!

Digital Weekly Challenge Discussion
Hello... Chelsea here!
This weeks challenge is one that I never do without! To use the curve adjustment layer in photoshop. First you can find it in Layer> New Adjustment Layer>Curves. Or here... that red circled part on the right!
This is the graph you see when you open the curves and you simply just push it up at the top to get whiter whites, down a tad at the bottom to deepen your blacks and up a smidgeon in the middle to pop your greys till it looks good!
So basically is brightens whites, darkens darks and pops your grays. It's your caffeine for photos! I think it turns a boring photo into a cool photo. You can use curves adjustment on colour and black and white. With my photo I have chosen to do black and white. I think it all comes down to experimenting and seeing what you like.
So here's my Challenge layout. My photo has been changed to black and white and definitely had the curves adjusted! I look forward to seeing your layouts...

Technique Discussion - Using Digi-Kit Project Cuts with the Silhouette
Happy Tuesday everyone!
Nichol Magouirk here with a quick Technique Discussion + Tutorial on using the fun Digi-Kit Project Cuts with the Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter. :)
I just love all the fun digi-kits that Jen Allyson and Kristina Werner have created to use with digital die cutting machines.
Here are a few of my favorite digi-kits:
There are even more in the TwoPeas store!
Here's a quick tutorial on creating your own journaling block using the DigiKit Project Cuts Specialty Edges Mats kit with the Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter. These are sized perfectly for cutting and adhering a 4x6 photo or you can do what I did here and create a custom journaling block.
The first thing you want to do is open up a new document in your Craft Robo software. I like to specify an 8 1/2" 12 1/2" size, then click 'OK' to open the new document:
Instead of using images out of 'my library' to import images into your document, you'll want to click the 'open' tab located in your toolbar and shown circled in the screenshot below) and locate where you've saved your downloaded DigiKit:
Once you've located the file you want to use, make sure and click on the JPG file and click on the image you want for your project:
Once you've located the file you want to use, make sure and click on the JPG file and click on the image you want for your project:
Then click the image you will be importing and click 'open'.
This is what the image will look like in your document:
You can change the size of the image a couple of different ways. Here is an easy way I just learned to resize any image in your Craft Robo software. Right click on the image and click 'position settings'.
Make sure the 'hold aspect ration' box is checked so your image doesn't get distorted and then you can change the width or height to suit your project.
Next, in order for the Silhouette to be able to cut the image you will need to convert the JPG image to outline. To do this, click the 'Get Outline' box in the toolbar (shown circled in red).
Click the 'Convert To Outline' box and then click 'Paste then Edit'. Your image will be outlined.
One last thing I always like to do before cutting my image is to to copy it so that the image cuts twice (this is helpful when cutting through thicker materials like double sided patterned paper or cardstock). Click the image, then click 'Copy' in the toolbar and then 'Paste'.
Finally, just follow the normal steps to cut out the shape.
Here is my finished journaling block. I added some stamping and it's ready for my journaling!
Have a great day!

One from K.I. Memories:
and one from BasicGrey:
and my all-time fav fromK.I.Memories:

Hey, there! Jennifer McGuire here. I am going to give you a peek into my bucket...
First up, I have several of the new K&Company products that just showed up in the store. I can see cutting up these cut papers and making lots of cards!
Then I a few things you can always find in my bucket: 6x6 paper pads from Basic Grey. These are my favorite due to their small scale patterns. I like them for both cards and scrapbook pages.
And in every order, I have refills for my favorite adhesive. I couldn't bear to run out of it. :)
I also have been having fun with the Thinking Inking class over on the Education Message Board. I have been using my Ranger inks so much, that I decided I could use some more foam pieces for my Ink Blending Tool. Love these.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Everyone!
Tracy Miller here, and my job today is to give you a sketch for a layout. Here's the problem: I don't sketch. Hmm. So I took a different approach when doing this. I do love following other people's sketches and I really like scraplifting, so I went back to one of my previous layouts and made a sketch from it. It's backward - but it works for me!
So, in the spirit of backwardness, here's my layout:
And here is the sketch based on my layout:
I'd love to see what you create with this sketch! Make sure to link up any layouts you do in the comments.

Hello hello! Jennifer Johner here again today!
Today, the newest weekly challenge went up... 'think angular' ..yep, all about angles! A little outside the box? Maybe.. but that it is what is fun about it! I am usually a 'square' person (ha ha.. no jokes ok? heee!), things don't really need to be cut straight or, placed perfectly straight on my pages.. but I find I usually follow the whole 'straight lines and square' process of thinking.
Sooooo.. this week, I challenge you to think diagonally.. step outside your box (I know I had too!) and place or cut something diagonally. You are free to interpret this however you want.. cutting, placing an element, arranging a title... maybe everything on the page.. totally up to you!
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Here is my page.. I decided to cut the patterned paper diagonally. At first, it was one big 12 inch strip along the side.. but then I decided to break it into 2 pieces and place them sort of parallel to each other... different for me definitely!! But I had fun stepping outside my box and challenging myself.. I hope you do too!! OR.. maybe you are a scrapper who loooooves placing things diagonally, and this is totally normal for you... bonus!! heee! Hope you play along either way!!
Have a great Friday!!!!
Jen :)

Morning Peas! Jennifer Johner here! Today, I am posting a sketch... I looooove sketches! I love using them, but I also love sketching my own.. for me, it makes the scrappy process sooo fast... and if I am in the mood for fast, that is a good thing! hee! Sometimes, I can sit at my desk and come up with nothing.. move things around a million times on my layout... not really feeling the 'mojo'.. sketches help me when I am like that for sure! They provide a great starting point. That is the best part.. after they get started, the layouts often take on a life of their own... which is great!
The sketch below, is a pretty simple one. Lots of room for interpretation. A matted photo, a line of hearts (or anything really).. title, journaling... and some fun strips of paper. Thats it!
So easily adaptable to any size as well! Here is the layout I created from it...
If this sketch inspires you, and you make a layout from it... be sure to link me up ok!? I would looooooove to see! Have a great day everyone!!
Jen :)

I'm not a photography buff by any means but I jumped at the chance to play along in this week's challenge. The theme this week is "faces in strange places." Sharing a photo of a face you find in an inanimate object - fun, right? This photo is one I took and shared on my blog a couple of years ago. You can find the full text for the challenge here.
So, let's see your faces! Be sure to click the weekly photography challenge check box to be entered in the drawing for a 2Peas GC.

Good Morning Everyone. Wendy here. I hope you had a safe and amazing Fourth yesterday. I had a wonderful spending time with the family having a picnic and ending the night by the campfire in our back yard. I just love days like that!
So, I am here today with this month's User Spotlight. The other day I was going through the member's gallery and came across some amazing layouts. They were by: joggemia. She is from Sweden and has been a member since April 2007. I simply love her simple designs and how she uses white space in every layout. Being a simple scrapper I can relate and was drawn to her gallery immediately!
Here are just a few samples of her work:
I love how she used the torn paper and placed her title in the middle of her page. I also like how her photo and embellishments are concentrated to the right. LOVE IT!
Now, tell me how cool this layout is! How she finished the rest of the circle and how she did the flower coming down like that. And, the colors! LOVE her color choice J
I just love this layout too! I think it's cool how she placed her title across her photo and patterned paper and I love how she did the date stamp and added an owl for a final touch. AWESOME!
Here is a link to her gallery: joggemia
So when you get a minute, take a look! You won't be disappointed J

Happy Fourth of July to the Americans out there! This is Lisa Brown here to share what's currently in my shopping bucket.
I always need cardstock so I have Basic Grey Crisp Designer Cardstock pack and Little Yellow Bicycle Traveller Cardstock pack in my bucket.
I'm also a big fan of letter stickers so I added some Basic Grey stickers (June Bug Elbow, Lemonade Hip Mini, Lemonade Bon Bon Mini, Lime Rickey Thickset).
The 6x6 Bracket Grungeboard mini album looks perfect for a mini album that I am making and I loved the 7gypsies travel charms so I put those in too.
Happy shopping!

Finally Friday - Sending You Love
Good morning, everyone!
This week's card started out with me just wanting to use the giraffe stamp from the Hero Arts Birthday 6x8 stamp set. (I seem to like giraffe's recently, huh?) Anyway, he's super cute and after I stamped him, it looked like he needed a friend, too. So that's when the little bird came into the picture.
So fun!

New Monthly Garden Theme Discussion
Hello everyone!
It's Robyn Werlich here to discuss the amazing new themed Garden that went up today: all about being INSPIRED by FASHION! I've been so excited to work on this month's Garden - fashion is an amazing industry and there is so much to be inspired by! Colors, textures, patterns, designs, layouts....and so much more! Grab a fashion magazine and look through it one time with a 'scrapbookers' eye - look at colors and all those things that could inspire you in your own designs. Go to fashion websites - check out your favorites and you'll be amazed at how things pop out at you when you are looking at them through a different point of view. Give it a shot - I'm sure you'll be inspired in no time!
I love the 1st of every month and seeing what the amazing Garden Girl team has come up with! This month is no exception - awesome work! Every single page is amazing! Be sure to check them all out!! Here are a few that I wanted to highlight:
I love how Chelsea was inspired by fashion through photography and approached the theme with a different perspective - so beautiful!!
Love how Sheri documented her kids clothes in these photos - beautiful!
How clever is this page!! I love how she made a 'fashion board' out of her own patterned papers - I think she's got a designer on her hands! :) This is such a fun clever idea!
I love this page by Rhonda and how she used her own closet as inspiration - also documenting something about herself that her kids will love to know about her. A few other GG's did layouts about items in their closet and clothes - can you spot them?
This page by Shannon Tidwell is so cute...using an actual fashion piece of clothing that she loves on her page! What a great way to preserve that piece and to keep that memory alive for years to come! Her daughter will love this when she is older! So cute!
This page by Jen Gallacher is awesome - digi (way to go friend) and I love how she used fashion 'papers' as her inspiration for this theme. Great idea!
And here is one of mine...inspired by some cute ruffle shirts at Jcrew.com. Using websites for inspiration is fast and free!
As you can see by these examples, there are numerous ways to be inspired by fashion! So many different ways! I hope that you'll give 'fashion' a try for inspiration this month! I think you'll love it!

Hi! Sande Krieger here with this week's Digi Challenge.
This weeks challenge is to take two or more photos and blend them to make one image. My nephew James is on the track team at Utah State Univ. I took 3 photos of him starting the 800 which I then blended into one photo. It helps that I was standing in the same spot for all 3 photos and just pivoting my upper body as I shot each photo. That way all the photos had similar backgrounds and angles. To do this I followed these steps: There are several ways to blend photos together and this is just one method. If you're using PS or PSE you can use the blending modes to achieve a really interesting collage effect. I'm excited to see what you do with this challenge! Remember when you upload your layout into the gallery to click the box that says "Weekly Digital Challenge!"

need to find subs with lots of slam for HT
hi all, i have a small theater room. it is 12x14 with an 8 foot ceiling. i currently have 2 velodyne cht-10 (10 inch $650 each) subs. i use a svs pb 13 ultra set in 10hz mode to handle the super low frequencies that the velo's cant. i set the svs's x-over as low as possible. it shakes the room which i love, but... only from about 30 hz and below. i want to leave the svs as it is because if i allow the svs to accept higher frequencies while tuned to 10hz, the bass becomes sloppy at the higher frequencies. i have a integra dhc 80.1 with audyssey which calibrates all my subs.
i have not tried different subs in my theater room. many years ago i tried a dahlquist 12" ($900 sub) and i remember i could feel the bass more. i'm sure it had a bit better low freq. extension but maybe it was just more powerful? moves more air? 12 inch perhaps? i dont know how all these factors come into play when choosing a subwoofer. i got rid of that sub and got the 2 velo's mentioned above. there doesnt seem to be as much slam from the velo's. are they too low end i wonder? now i want that HT chest slam, as i have upgaded pretty much all my equipment but still have those velo's.
so this is where i am confused. i want the tightest bass with possible with alot of chest caving slam. i dont know if a couple of small 8 inch(say sunfire super juniors for example) would give me the result i'm looking for due to its small woofer size. i'm not necessarily looking for low frequecy extension because my svs handles that.
do i need to get into the 12 or 15 inch subs for the slam? possibly super highend 10 inch like the jl fathom f110. i dont want big if they produce flabby/sluggish bass. i should mention that i have bass traps in my room as well.
however, my room is 12x14 with an 8 foot ceiling so i dont want to throw money away on subs that would be overkill. i definately dont want bass overhang (sloppy bass) that some big subs may produce in small rooms.
can anyone suggest what subwoofers (model and size) i would need to achieve alot of clean bass with alot of HT slam for my small room?
i dont necessarily need the most exspensive...i just want to be happy with tight clean bass and enjoy the punches on my chest!!!
thanks and much appreciated,

The trouble with cheaper subs is that they either use a small driver (for tightness), or large driver (for depth), but don't give you both. I don't think adding subs fixes the problem.
I also have a small room (13x15) and use a Velodyne Optimum 8. It gives me all I need, but admit it won't rattle the windows.
I suspect you need a high powered sub with at least a 12 inch driver. The SVS ultra should do the job, but I guess you feel it doesn't.
You can look at the Velodyne Optimum 12 , the DD series or the JL audio Fathom 110. They should all do the job.

Sell the small Velodyne subs (they are toys), use the SVS PB13 Ultra in sealed mode, place it as well as you can in the room, set the Integra's bass management to 80 Hz, bypass the SVS's crossover, place another SVS PB13 on top of your current one and then run Audyssey.
Have you verified the response in the bass at your listening position with and without Audyssey engaged?

thanks guys for your response. here is exactly what i am doing. i set the svs at 40hz (lowest) with the x-over on the back. i run the audyssey with all 3 subs. the bass is ok but i feel its alot better after i tweak it. heres how:
i use the eq on the back of the svs. i lower the 30-40 hz range as much as the eq allows me to. then turn it up about 8-10 db's. the result is awesome. the whole room shakes and i feel the hits right on my body. this may not be correct but it is very cool when each punch and effect literally shakes you. i know that my velo's are the weak link, therefore i want to find subs that produce excellent slam in the higher frequencies that my svs does not get. not sure what i need tho...8/10/12/15 inch, which models etc for my size room.
i've tried running just the svs in sealed and its good but no where near the super low frequency boost that im looking for. in sealed mode (svs) if i turn up the sub level, all the frequencies up to 80hz get boosted...which sounds terrible bass overkill.
its like you said bob, you get one or the other high bass or low bass from the woofers but not both. i am trying to get both with multiple subs. i just need some advice on how to acheive it.
your thoughts or suggestions?

I run a SVS PB13Ultra with center foam out. I have a custom 45LB-2 inch solid Parka wood platform with cone feet and Synergistic Research Miggs between sub and platform with amazing results. Great pitch, solid defined bass, tight and very controlled.
I noticed with the very low profile factory rubber feet on the SVS it vibrated everything too much which caused me to buy the custom Hifi Pyon platform that resolved the issue with additional positive qualities.
My Onkyo Pro processor is set at -12 with the sub dial at its detent and I still get the best bass ever heard of with lots of room to up the volume to rip my chest open.
The only upgrade I would do is maybe a Paradigm Signature Sub 1 or 2 if funds allowed. I think six 8inch sealed drivers or six 10 inch sealed drivers with 7500rms/9000peak would definitly rip your chest apart and your neighbours chest down the street. That would be World Class at a big $6500 tag. But you would never worry about bass again, just broken ribbs....LOL.

Just throw in an Outlaw ICBM crossover, set at 40hz cross,and drive the bigger sub(s) under 40hz, and the smaller 8 to 10" subs at 40-80hz, leaving your pre/pro or receiver to cross over at 80hz on up to the speakers! Of course, you still have WAY WAY WAAAAAAAAY to much bass energy in that room, which isn't being absorbed well enough by the room to balance out the rest of the midrange and trebble (then again sounds likel you go for the boomy bombastic earthquake bass sound, with about an hour or two of reverb and undecayed bass energy,overpowering the rest of your system, sounds like). This is all not to even mention the fact that your room won't properly support anything much bellow 20 hz anyway, and will never sound anything like a large space will, offering speed and inpact to the sound through proper decay and lack of bass modes. Basically, you're stuck with some small room acoutics issues that only radical acoustical renovation can help.
All that and how well do you know how to place all those speakers in the room to actually balance out and sound good in the room / setup? Lots to go wrong there, regardless of how many cute little subs you throw in there.
For you I'd be getting one large M&K MX5000 or perhaps some Earthquake 15" sub, and stick in rignt in the middle of the front wall of the room, anchored between the mains, and forget about it! Otherwise, find a better deal on a Paradigm Studio 15, and EQ the crap out of the the whole thing.
Wow...bass freaks...all of ya.

The Seaton Submersive HP, a 2400 Watt dual 15 sealed sub, has the highest performance to value. It easily competes with megabuck subs and is much better than most including the well regarded JL Audio Fathom F113. It is highly transparent and tight, reproducing deep bass effortlessly with serious power and no overhang, and, can play as loud as your ears can tolerate with low distortion. Properly set-up it is not localizable. Where most subs starts rolling off at or before 20 HZ, the Seaton maintains it power to well below 15Hz. I am using it with Dunlavy speakers crossing over at 100Hz. It is equally adept with music and movies. Another excellent sub is the Talon Roc. Good luck.

By the way, I am using Outlaw's ICBM (crossover amazing product that I have had for 10 years)and the antimode 8033 sub eq which I consider to be a fairly good product.

This notorious sandbag is perhaps the most neglected sport route in the Dihedrals (other contenders: Peepshow, Almost Nothing?). Given 5.12c in the Watts Guide, this line is a big step up in difficulty from Full Heinous or Last Waltz. Many a hard man has been spanked by the deceptive, continuous, funkery lurking innocently left of Take a Powder. However, if you can get past the grade issue, this line offers a full (half) rope-length of stellar movement on Smith's top-shelf stone. Begin with the first 3 bolts of Take a Powder. Veer left along the obvious undercling flake, and tackle the subtle arete feature. The first crux hits just above the 4th bolt, then a good clipping stance at the 5th, then the next crux, slapping the left hand up the arete with tricky feet and a difficult 2-finger pocket move. Above the climbing eases slightly, but remains quite technical. This route can feel pretty sharp if you pick a warm day. There seems to be two ways to consider the grade: 5.12 moves with 5.13 beta, or 5.13 moves with 5.12 beta. In any case, this one won't be down-rated from 12c any time soon!
On the panel right of To Bolt, sharing the start with Take a Powder.
Bolts, 2 Bolt anchor.
This is a great description. As someone who has not done the route, I feel like now I know a great deal about it...plus I know now not to get on it unless I'm having one of those rare low-gravity days.
Guess I'll wait a bit before I get on this one. Better tune in my technical arete skills. You definitely gave a really good description about it.

I hope you are enjoying the start of May. I saw news reports about protests on May Day. I also saw that Mitt Romney won the North Carolina primary. Newt Gingrich then suspended his campaign, leaving the Republican primary field all but open to Romney. Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is apparently going to endorse Romney soon.
Speaking of soon, the U.S. April jobs report will be released Friday morning. I wonder if the unemployment rate will be lower than nine percent. There's a new post at Party List. Best wishes on your weekend. Thanks for visiting.

Watford General's SCBU and Amnesty International to benefit
1:11pm Thursday 20th September 2012 in News By Ben Endley, Senior reporter
A Kings Langley Star Trek enthusiast has boldly gone where no fan has gone before by hosting a 24-hour charity podcast dedicated to the hit show.
Wayne Emery, 28, of Whitlars Drive, hosted the show alongside crew mates Paul Drinkwater, 28, of Nash Mills and Marc Stamper, 37 of Andover, Hampshire - together they beamed their live non-stop broadcast across the galaxy from 8pm on Saturday, September 15, to 8pm Sunday, September 16.
The stunt has proved to be a logical one as more than £1,400 has already been raised for Amnesty International and Watford General Hospital 's Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) via their sponsorship page.
Mr Emery said the choice of charities fits with Star Trek's vision of a future free from illnesses, with everyone enjoying equal rights and no one ever being denied their human rights.
However, he also has a personal reason for supporting the SCBU after complications with his wife Leanne's pregnancy meant his newborn daughter Amy needed emergency resuscitation and monitoring.
He said: "My daughter was born last year but flat-lined during the delivery process and the staff there not only saved her life but made the whole experience less traumatic for us.
"Thanks to the way they worked and their dedication my daughter has come out with no damage whatsoever.
"It is a debt I can never really repay."
Mr Emery and Mr Drinkwater became best friends after meeting through their love of Star Trek as 13-year-old Kings Langley School pupils.
Along with Mr Stamper, they are behind the five-weekly Trek Mate podcasts which Mr Emery says takes up at least 12 hours of each of their free time every week.
Mr Emery, a coach driver taking visitors to and from The Making of Harry Potter at Leavesden Studios , said: "The podcast went so well, we had people joining us from America, Japan and Australia.
"We got to spend 24 hours being really geeky, having a lot of fun and raising money for charity."
The group were provided with prizes to give away to the top donators including two silver tickets to the upcoming Destination Star Trek London and a brand new iPad.
Mr Emery admitted he was more than a little nervous before the start of the live broadcast but says the motivation of the cause they were supporting got them through the gruelling schedule.
He said: "I was petrified something would go wrong with the schedule and I started to flag around 9am but after some energy drinks I managed to cope."

What are you afraid of?Posted Tuesday, January 26, 2010, at 8:58 AM
Me, I'm scared out of my mind of snakes. Just the thought of snakes -- even the smallest snake -- makes my skin crawl. When I see one on television, I cover my eyes. When I'm moving (on a riding lawn mower), I lift my legs up and scream. My husband always tells me they're more afraid of me than I am, especially when I'm riding a machine with sharp blades -- I doubt it.
I'm scared out of my mind of them. I'm really not sure how or when my fear started, but I definitely have Ophidiophobia or a fear of snakes. I recently read an article online that cited most common phobias. They were: Arachnophobia -- The fear of spiders Ophidiophobia -- The fear of snakes Acrophobia -- The fear of heights Agoraphobia -- Fear of open spaces, leaving a safe place, or crowded public places Cynophobia -- The fear of dogs Astraphobia -- The fear of thunder and lightning (Also known as Brontophobia, Tonitrophobia, or Ceraunophobia Aviophobia -- The fear of flying Mysophobia -- The fear of germs or dirt Necrophobia -- The fear of death or dead things Claustrophobia -- The fear of enclosed spaces Some rare and unusual phobias I came across were: Nephophobia -- The fear of clouds Emetophobia -- The fear of vomiting Bibliophobia -- The fear of books Heliophobia -- The fear of sunlight Kopophobia -- The fear of fatigue So, what are you afraid of?

Arn83, I'm not a fan of birds either. I have a cousin who is scared of them. Her co-workers played a nasty prank on her one day. They covered her entire car with bird seed. When she went to her car after work,there were birds everywhere. Needless to say, she wasn't a happy camper. -- Posted by ISUgrad06 on Sat, Jan 30, 2010, at 7:56 PM
My wife, kidding. I have a weird one, if I'm swimming alone I'm afraid a shark will sneak up and eat me. Even if I'm in a pool or lake or even a hot tub alone, where sharks could not survive. I get scared if I'm swimming alone. -- Posted by Maurice on Mon, Feb 1, 2010, at 9:51 AM

Usually, when Majorie Lacy meets with Henry County Police Chief Keith Nichols, it is after one of his officers has brought her a bruised or battered woman for sanctuary. Sometimes, the women are accompanied by children.
Friday, things were different. Chief Nichols and other officers came bearing gifts.
Household goods of all kinds were donated to the domestic violence shelter. There were shower curtains, towels, rugs, bath mats, comforter sets, mattress pads, tablecloths, storage canisters, dishes, various type drinking glasses, silverware, a crock pot, a can opener, a blender, a coffee maker and a knife set.
"This is so nice, I'm so glad you all thought of us," said Lacy, who is executive director of Haven House.
"Maj. [Joe] Jackson and Lt. [Christy] Neble came to me with the idea, and I told them we will make it happen," Nichols said Friday.
"When they place a victim outside of the shelter these are the items they can use in their homes," said Lt. Neble.
"This is a good way to give something for a good cause," said Maj. Jackson.
The donated items were recovered by police following a fraud investigation, said Sgt. Mike Ireland.
Until recently, the items had been held as evidence.

Tiles hanging off walls in bathroom, dirty carpet, ultra thin worn towels, poorly fitting door, etc etc
The price and location
The place looked run really down and condemned I could not believe booking.com would have a place like that listed, It felt like I was in some 3rd world country slum. Unreal
Friendly check in process
This dump is 6 mo. away from being condemned by any reasonable city government - it should be razed.
Beds too hard
The pictures didn't show how bad it is. I did take pictures and would like to send them to you so I can get the cancellation fee back. The staff was in a small dirty building behind a plexiglass window with a small opening to pass things through. The place was old and dirty as was our room. There were only 2 other people in the whole place, so by not staying there, it wasn't like we were preventing someone else from staying (not that they would)
The room was clean! The bathroom,very clean!
The hotel is in an industrial area,dark in the evening,very scary! The hotel care takers hide behind a plexi glass wall.There is no lobby,no personal touch.In the morning after my first night the people(caretakers) woke me up with a loud knocking for cleaning the room.When I did not respond they called me on the phone,when I did not answer the phone,they kept on calling until I answered.There was no door sign to show that I did not want to be disturbed!I Am traveling with a service dog. It states that on my booking paper.When I finally angriely answered the annoying phone,they (the care taker lady) demanded to see the dogs papers right away,I was naked! I am wondering why they did not look on my paper,from booking.com when I signed in and requested the papers from my dog at that time? Anyway,after that I did not see the caretakers at all anymore.The place resembles a ghost town place.
The motel was absolutely disgusting. I found multiple dead cock roaches around the room and bathroom. There was mold along the walls in the bathroom. I stayed there for a week an not once was the room cleaned. I booked and payed for the room in advance and once I got there and saw how filthy the whole room and property was, I wanted to get a refund and go to a different hotel but the staff would not allow a refund. The staff was rude and did not care about my complaints about the filth of the room.

dirty and noisy.
No frills motel. I guess if you are just looking for a place to sleep then this is the place. Felt like it was a bug haven.
Walking up stairs to our room as I am disabled. The lock fell off the door when we attempted to lock the door.
Bathroom cleanliness and safety. Come on people, it's 50 bucks a night. You will not find brand name amenities at this motel but the owners are hands on and did their best to make my one night stay safe and clean.
Hotel is extremely outdated, but clean.
Facilities were not well kept. Was not very clean. Staff was not nice. Smelled awful. Overpriced for accomodations.

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone had a blog? I have decided to start one to try and help me on my way with the diet. "Snip"
So I wondered if anyone else does the same? I just though it might be a way to express how I feel a bit more and help me focus. (And give me something to do so I don't eat lol)

"Our customers are enthusiastic about how iinsight helps them to manage their practice with clearer information and less administrative burden," said Mr Parletta. "We have introduced iinsight Lite to give prospective customers a taste of the many benefits that iinsight has to offer."
OR providers who are interested in trialling iinsight Lite do not need any infrastructure to do so.

This is Brooke and Cash. I think my favorite thing about this hunt are the nicknames, the ongoing pranks, the fathers and sons, or even mother and son. A new dog's clumsy retrieve, an old dog's strut, a dog acting birdy only to pee on another dog's mark. The crazy whims of Lance, seeing little Zack get bigger and more full of himself, more like Lance, old Mr Reilly coming out on a tractor to check how we're faring. Out of breath dogs too tired to move, caravaning through fields in seven trucks with tailgates down, the sun coming low for three golden hours before sunset. Standing in front of the combine and cleaning birds, making fun of missed shots, hiding the dead jack rabbit in Derick's truck for the third time, because Kayce never should have shot it, admitted he hated to because their numbers are thin, but that he hadn't got a bird all day.
It's our tradition, it's their tradition and out of state hunters befriending South Dakota farmers is a tradition in itself.

Luca Badoer says he has no regrets about having accepted to race for Ferrari, despite his struggles to show competitive form. The Italian, however, was critical of the media, which he reckons has made only made his life harder.
"I'm very happy. Apart from the press. The only problem for me, and for the team, is the press," Badoer told reporters after qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix. "90 percent have written really bad things. And so for me there is no point, because I don't read the newspapers, so everybody can read what they want.
"But the people around can be influenced by this, so I don't like it. Apart from the press I am very happy at this moment, because I drive for Ferrari and I drive in F1. I'm improving every time and I know how difficult it is.
"Other drivers came to me and said we know how difficult it is. And so for me it is really a good period, a good moment, press apart."
Badoer, who qualified last for the second race in a row, admitted he was frustrated by the difficult position he is in, and he feels he would have done much better in the past.
"It is very frustrating, because in a way it was my dream to drive for Ferrari," he said. "But if I had this pleasure to years ago it would have been a completely different situation because two years ago I was driving so much the car. The comparison with the race drivers was very close, so it was the perfect solution. Unfortunately you can't choose everything in life and this opportunity came in the worst period for me because it is 10 months since I last drove an F1 car. Anyway, I am very happy to have this chance, even though the performances are not very good. But I am sure if I have the possibility to do more races, I'm sure that I can improve."
The Ferrari driver, whose position will be evaluated after tomorrow's race, is convinced he would perform significantly better at Monza if he keeps the seat.
"For me Monza is special. It is my home track and I have the lap record there in Formula 1. And like Mugello and Fiorano, it is the track that I have spent the most time in my life. For sure in Monza I will have the big step that everybody is waiting for."

« Select another lizard species profile
The New Caledonian giant gecko is the largest living gecko in the world right now as far as overall bulk, which is part of its appeal as a pet. Its fleshy folds of skin make it 'comfortable' to handle, although not all specimens tolerate human handling. Most tame down well, though, because the vast majority in captivity are captive-bred and are raised around humans. They always hold onto a tendency to leap, so be prepared for when they jump from your arm to a nearby object.
The New Caledonian giant gecko is a nocturnal prowler in trees, where it consumes many kinds of small animals from insects and spiders to other geckos. Nectar from flowers is also savored. In captivity, strained fruit-flavored baby food is licked up eagerly. In the wild, New Caledonian giant geckos may also take small fruits and berries like figs. Being rather sedentary, it's best to take care in not overfeeding New Caledonian giant geckos because obesity in pets is common.
'Leachies' need vertical tree branches to climb on and inside, which is where they typically pass the daytime hours secreted from sight. At dusk New Caledonian giant geckos emerge to catch bugs and seek out fruit by slowly descending to near the ground where those prey items are more abundant. Twilight is the time to introduce food.
Only one male New Caledonian giant gecko should inhabit a cage due to the intense fighting that may occur. Many adults have bobbed tails from interspecies aggression that's largely attributed to male versus male fighting. The tails grow back, but even shorter and stubbier than the original ones.

Looking for insurance?
Although incidents in self-storage centres are extremely rare, you may want to insure your goods. It is the customer's responsibility to be insured.
Many home and contents insurance policies will cover your stored goods. However, a number of insurers require the policyholder (you) to notify them that you are moving goods into storage. This should be your first step in obtaining insurance.
In the event that your insurer will not cover your storage goods, the team at TAXIBOX can arrange insurance for you*. Getting insurance is easy and can be organised for $1.50 per month for every $1,000 of insured contents (starting from a minimum of $5000 insured). Check out our insurance brochure here or call us on 1300 87-60-87 – we would be happy to help!
Alternatively, if you are looking for transit insurance (either local or interstate) with or without storage*, please click here. The process as always is easy and the choice is yours!
* By providing a quote from a third party, TAXIBOX is not acting as an agent of the insurer and is not the insurer, nor has TAXIBOX provided any express or implied recommendation or opinion in relation to this insurance cover.

Still another spot on the Web for Newf Lovers and
their very special companions! NOTE: Before going further, please take a look at this. The following article was originally found on the Irish Wolfhound Association of New England's website, but as the condition of Bloat is quite common in other large breeds, particularly Newfoundlands, and having just experienced this devastating and often fatal disorder with our own Newfs, Abagale Evenstar, in early December of '04, I was compelled to share it with as many Newf owners as possible as quickly as possible. To begin, I'd like to introduce the members of our
crew, past and present. Our second, a girl. Omeeren Cara Brianna (Cara)
came to us in February of 1999,
at five months. A classic beauty with wonderful conformation, good bone
and a massive, strong head. And she moves like a breeze. I only wish we
had decided to show her! Ah, well. We have settled for just loving her.
And she's very good at that! Our third, another little girl, was Tess. We called her "Mouse".
(It's a long story.) She came into our home at twelve or thirteen weeks.
Our first "real" baby Newf. What a treat! Even though we have other
pictures, this one has always been MY favorite. She was only about four
months old at the time. You can almost see into her soul here. Now, that brings us up to of July, 2002. Another little girl,
Abagale Evenstar. She joined us at about thirteen weeks on the Fourth of
July Weekend. This is a picture of her a day or two after she came home.
Cool green grass under the big silver maple. She looks very comfy.
Now there are times when this little lady (well, about 90 lbs. at just
under 11 months) reminds me of Tess. These two do not look alike, but Abby
is very much like Tess was in some ways. By the Bay, 09/05. Well now! A new addition came to us in August of 2004. A little 15 month old girl from Homeport Kennels. Her name is Homeport's Dolphin (quite ironically, we named her when she was just 12 weeks old! Never knew she'd be ours at the time!). She's been here over a year now and we're so glad to have her. Very cuddly and loving.
October of 2005 has brought another girl to our home. Her name is
Homeport's Voyager. (BTW, she is our dear Cara's neice. We can see a bit of her in those lovely, brown eyes.)

Snow days were exciting for TA students
Editor's Note: Fourth, fifth and sixth grade students at Tunica Academy recently wrote essays on their big adventures in the snow. They were led by teacher Annette Perry. Essays were also printed in the April 1 and April 8 editions of The Tunica Times.
On my first day of snow, I had a snowball fight with my neighbor, Kyia. We ate snow ice cream with my dad made. We made a mini snowman and snow angels. We rode trikes and scooters in the snow. Later we went in and got warm. We had fun in the snow.

January 10th was the best snow day ever! I watched my mom build a snowman. He was pretty messed up! I rode my scooter in the snow. I fell and wrecked. I played outside with my dog. It was a good day!

Welcome to the official blog of the National Recreation and Park Association. Posts are contributed by staff, members and others throughout the park and recreation field.
One of the most reliable indicators of the level of public support for parks and recreation can be measured by how strongly people show their support when it counts the most—when they vote. The good news in 2012 is that public support for local ballot measures and bond issues for parks and recreation was very high. Read on to get a summary of some of how various park bond referendums and ballot measures fared in this year's election. Read more
Think you know about how parks really improve health? What do you know about the 10 Million Kids Outdoors goal? Interested in aquatics advancements that can help you save costs and increase safety? These are just a few questions you can answer by reading the November issue of Parks & Recreation.

Glossary of Environmental Terms
BiodegradableAbility to completely break down, safely and relatively quickly, by natural or biological means, such as microorganisms like fungi, algae, bacteria, into raw materials of nature and then disappear into the environment.
BioplasticsThese are categories of compostable, biodegradable and degradable plastics.
CompostableMaterials that undergo degradation by biological process during composting to yield C02, water, inorganic compounds and biomass at a rate consistent with other compostable materials in commercial/industrial composting conditions and leave no visible, distinguishable or toxic residue. Compostable bags are made of PLA, which is Polylactic Acid, and obtained from renewable sources like corn, sugar beets, wheat, and other starch-rich products. In order for a bag to be considered compostable, it must biodegrade at the same rate as grass clippings, must disintegrate so no large particles can be screened out, and must biodegrade safely so that it can support plant growth.
DegradableMaterials that have the capability to break down from a whole into parts or completely break down into natural substances in the normal process of exposure to natural events. Most degradable products are either biodegradable (bacterial action) or photodegradable (ultraviolet action).
Greenhouse GasesThose gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and artificial, that absorb and reemit infrared radiation, including Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Fluorinated Gas emitted through human activities.
Oxo-DegradableMaterials that undergo degradation via a multiple stage process using a chemical additive to initiate the degradation, which may be triggered by Ultra-Violet (UV) sunlight, heat and/or mechanical stress with remnants then going through bio-degradation over time.
Post Consumer (PCR)Recycled after product is used for its original purpose.
Post-Industrial (PIR)Recycled from internal manufacturing scrap, trim, etc.
RecycleReturning a product for reprocessing into another type of product which would use the components of the original product in its makeup. This is not remaking the old product into "a like new" product.
ReduceUse less of, or make smaller
Re-useUse again, at least once

My friends and family give me a lot of grief over my decision to join and participate in the ACLU and its local NYCLU Chapter. I don't always agree with their case choice decisions and I am not sure that their agenda is a little more political than I would like it to be. However, the above story however is why I do it. If you don't remember the disgusting facts about this gun drawn/drug dog sniffing drug raid at a local High School, go here for the pictures and videos, and here for the original story.
I think kids going to school in the morning need to be free of people selling drugs in their school. However I think a stormtrooper style raid is probably worse. More importantly, they didn't find any drugs!
If the ACLU doesn't get involved, it is hard to find a lawyer in those parts with the wear-withal to sustain the case, deal with all the plaintiffs and fund the suit. Not to mention I get the feeling Goose Creek SC, doesn't have a large legal community.
Hopefully the settlement will give other police forces pause before they act on tips by staging storm-trooper style raids on High Schools. Sorry but I have no problem with this result. One should not be drawing guns and have a dog rip at a child's school bag in a high school unless one's life is in danger. That does not seem to be the situation here.
I will be sending in my ACLU renewal fee shortly.
Hat tip to CC Happens. for the information and a lot of the links.(Watch out this group blog is definitely rated PG-15.)

This Is Why I Belong To The ACLU: 1.2 Million Dollar Settlement in Goose Creek Police Drug Raid On High School

I hadn't come across the resolution of this case. Thanks for posting about it.
And, I agree 100% that the ACLU and its counterpart, the NYCLU, serve their purpose well, for the most part. Especially in this case. Those kids deserved to be compensated. - Sat Apr 15, 02:40:00 PM EDT
That's spelled "where with all."
