Newer than the Vieux Carre but no less filled with attractions
: Amazing 19th century homes line the streets of Uptown and The Garden District, where New Orleans' rich and mighty families once lived - and still do.
Talk of the town
: Freret Street between Napoleon and Jefferson has become one of the city's latest hotspots for interesting shops and restaurants
A loosely defined swathe of the city west of the CBD, much of Uptown's appeal lies along Magazine Street's six miles of fashionable stores, restaurants and bars. Toward the riverbend along St. Charles Avenue is beautiful Audubon Park
and Zoo, and six blocks up South Carrollton Avenue is Oak Street, for restaurants, bars
and the legendary Maple Leaf music
The Garden District, nearer the CBD, takes its name from the substantial plots of land on which these mansions once stood before being subdivided to house New Orleans' booming population. The area roughly bounded by Jackson
, Saint Charles and Magazine boasts many beautiful examples of antebellum Greek Revival and Italianate architecture, creole villas, and double gallery houses heavy with 'gingerbread' ornamentation.
The Irish Channel to the south is known predominantly for Parasol's and Tracey's, two Irish pubs that between them throw an almighty Third Street block party on St Patrick's Day (March 17).

ISIS bomb factory, compound in Iraq destroyed by CF-18 fighter jets
Defence Minister Rob Nicholson announced news after NATO meeting in Brussels
Canadian warplanes have gone into action again in Iraq, bombing a militant compound and bomb-making factory in separate raids over the last few days.
Defence Minister Rob Nicholson announced the news in a conference call on Thursday, following a NATO defence ministers meeting in Brussels.
- VIDEO: Iraqi air force hits ISIS targets
- ANALYSIS | Nahlah Ayed: Has ISIS's latest horror show backfired in the Middle East?
- ISIS bunkers near Mosul bombed by CF-18 Hornets
- Extending CF-18 lifespan to cost about $400 million: report
Nicholson said one mission took place Wednesday and involved CF-18s hitting a compound that was used as a staging area for extremists who've been launching guerilla-style raids into Baghdad.
Another attack took place Feb. 3, when the Canadian fighter-bombers supported Iraqi troops operating southwest of Mosul, the country's second largest city, which was overrun last summer by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Nicholson says that raid destroyed a factory producing improvised explosive devices.
"Mosul has suffered greatly under ISIL oppression," Nicholson said, using another acronym for ISIS. "By striking these ISIL facilities, we're disrupting their ability to produce and store weapons that are used to kill Iraqis and their security forces."
There were two additional raids on Jan. 29 and 30, which the minister did not cover in his statement. Those attacks struck in roughly the same areas as the most recent missions, but were aimed ISIS fighting positions, such as trenches and bunkers, as well as vehicles.
Nicholson also condemned the brutal murder of Jordanian air force pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh, who was burned alive by his ISIL captors in a grisly execution that was recorded and distributed on the Internet.

Lessons we could learn in the window and door industry
Whilst lounging by the pool on holiday last month I thought I would take the opportunity to read something other than the usual trashy novel. I asked friends for some advice and I was recommended “The Paradox of Choice” by economist Barry Schwartz. Just before you all stop reading this blog, it isn’t a book review of some obscure economist, so bear with me and you will see where I am going here.
The central theme of the book is that too much choice leads to paralysis and ultimately less satisfaction with the choices we have made. When presented with literally hundreds of options we get more concerned about the alternatives we could choose and worry that we will make the wrong decision. And when (and if) we do finally choose one, we can’t help but think was it the right choice? Which actually leads to less satisfaction with the purchase in the end. The book does expand on this very paraphrased idea and is well worth a read (or watch his very interesting and concise lecture.)
In the book Schwartz uses the example of his local grocery store with 189 options on salad dressing, with even more “make your own” options with 10 types of olive oil and 15 brands of balsamic vinegar. In our world of windows and doors the options available are the grocery store example multiplied and then multiplied again. Take the composite door market for example: once you have chosen foam filled over timber core (and now hybrids!) you are confronted with hundreds of colours (one major company was marketing 15 shades of grey – as if this was a benefit); hundreds of glass options; not just lock systems but choices of cylinders; sidelights or no sidelights; brass or chrome furniture in multiple designs – the list goes on … and on … and on. When Door Stop came to the market they claimed that six billion combinations were available!
When confronted with this amount of choice and – in many cases – conflicting information from online reviews, how can the consumer make a choice? I know this only too well from personal experience as, for seven years now, my wife has been asking me (actually telling me!) to get a new front door. In her view its simple: something that looks better than the old timber door we have, preferably in grey (but its not a deal breaker) and more secure than the 25 year old Yale lock that we have currently. For me though paralysis has set in – I have just too many choices; Which grey? Should we have biometric or standard lock? Which door? Which frame – and should it match? And I haven’t even started on the glass options. On numerous occasions I’ve almost got to a final decision, but at the last minute I think to myself:-
“is that the right choice … what if I get it wrong? … after all, this is supposedly my area of expertise”
I am not decrying the choice available today in the market; there are some incredibly innovative products out there and I fully understand that each company wants to differentiate its offering from the next guy. As a supplier to the industry we have been offering more and more choices to our customers for years … in fact it’s the cornerstone of our business model. But the more and more I think about the issue and see it from the consumer or installer and retailer’s point of view, the more I believe that the ever-expanding choices are making decisions more difficult to make – and maybe even reducing the overall volumes sold.
I hear you say:
“it’s all very well to talk about too much choice but we have to offer what the consumer wants!”
and I agree. The discerning customer, who has done his or her research, or with the guidance of a technically competent sales person, should be able to get what they want and take advantage of the plethora of choice this wonderful industry has to offer. But for the consumer who just wants a door or windows to serve a function, whilst looking good (rather like my wife), how do we streamline the choice and make the decision simpler and in the end more rewarding?
Watch this space for information on the new RegaLead Essentials composite door range – a simple range of doors, colours, glass and furniture options, neatly packaged and marketed to help you sell to those people – like my wife – who just want a door.

Posted by Jerry Hinnen
The ACC's decision to expand with Pitt and Syracuse has reportedly paid off with a substantial addition to their television contract's bottom line--though if the addition was substantial enough to justify the drawbacks of that expansion may be debatable.
The Sports Business Journal reported Monday that in the wake of the addition of the Panthers and Orange, the ACC has been able to "reopen" its recently signed contract with ESPN and negotiate a $1 million to $2 million annual increase for each of its now 14 member schools. Under the revised contract, each ACC member "can expect at least $14 million to $15 million a year," an increase from the current $13 million. The overall value of the contract is expected to increase from $155 million per season to north of $200 million.
The increase would bring the ACC nearly on par in annual distribution revenue with the Big 12, which the SBJ estimates currently averages $15 million per school, with the SEC at $17 million and the Big Ten and Pac-12 at $21 million.
But those figures illustrate why the ACC's expansion may not have provided enough buck for its bang. All four of those leagues should see their TV revenues increase in the near future, the Big 12 and SEC through their own expansion-induced negotiations and the Big Ten and Pac-12 through growing profits from their in-house networks. When the dust from the current round of expansion settles, the ACC is likely to still trail four of the five other BCS conferences (though they may have pulled closer to the Big 12, depending on how that league's negotiations go).
There's other downsides to the expansion, too. For one, the revised contract reportedly won't kick in until Syracuse and Pitt become active members of the league, which may not take place until 2014-2015 and certainly won't be in 2012-2013. In exchange for the boost to the contract, ESPN is also expected to exact a not-insignificant price: a three-year extension of what was already a 12-year deal, meaning the ACC won't be able to enter a full contract negotiation until 2026. (If the Big Ten and Pac-12 networks continue at their expected rates of growth, how wide will the gap be between those conferences and the ACC 14 years from now?)
And though a potential $2 million per season is certainly nothing to sneeze at, shuttling not just the football team but volleyball, baseball, tennis (etc.) teams to West Pennsylvania and upstate New York on an annual basis will add to the travel budget. Then there's the fewer games between traditional ACC rivals in both football and basketball (though the nine-game gridiron schedule will help) and increased difficulty for any individual team to earn a championship ... all for a financial windfall that at Clemson equals not much more than a single assistant coach.
Is it worth it? Given that the ACC couldn't really stand pat as those other four BCS leagues pushed the financial gap even wider, John Swofford and Co. probably didn't have any choice. But the first time we watch Georgia Tech play at Heinz Field instead of Death Valley or the Orange disrupt what would have been a Duke-North Carolina ACC Tournament final, we're going to wonder.Keep up with the latest college football news from around the country.

Right now, there are millions of Floridians waiting for the COVID 19 vaccine, including many of our family members.
And also right now, there are out of state visitors coming to Florida and getting the COVID 19 vaccine first.
While I appreciate that our home is one of the most visited places in the world, I would also appreciate it if people stayed home and got the vaccine there.
Lucky for us, the state is putting into play new rules to stop “Vaccine Tourism” in it’s tracks (story HERE).
That’s right. You’ll need a driver’s license, power bill, or something to let us know that you actually live here.
What’s especially aggravating is that in addition to our regular residents who aren’t getting the vaccine, we’ve got veterans who are stuck waiting for the vaccine from a slow VA rollout, which already ran out of doses (post HERE).
And it’s junk that some locations are grandfathering those who already had their first dose. These visitors should have to go home for that second shot. But hey, at least we’re getting some action.
There may be some that may believe us to be cruel to turn away those who don’t live here. And they’re just wrong. When you choose to live somewhere, you’re making an investment into your community, and when the time comes, that community needs to be able to take care of you as well.
We’ve still got a long way to go. Goodness, we’re still 65+ and there is no indication on when that age threshold will drop. We’ve got to eliminate the belief that this is a going to be a quick process.
And that means taking care of our neighbors first.

The first teaser trailer for Battlefield 3, DICE’s next iteration in its wildly popular military shooter series, has been released, and, boy, is it teaser-y. It shows some frantic, hard to see combat, a jet blowing up a helicopter, and that’s pretty much it. But don't take my word for it. Have a look for yourself:
More details after the break.
While the trailer might not have shown much, DICE did reveal a few tidbits about the game on its Battlefield blog, like the fact that jets, the ability to go prone, and 64-player multiplayer on PC will be returning in the next installment, and the game will include full single-player and co-op campaigns. The limited edition is also now available for pre-order, but the specifics of its contents have yet to be announced.
More details should be pouring in soon as the latest issue of Game Informer has a big cover story on the game, and EA will be doing a proper unveiling at GDC 2011 later this month, so stay tuned.
Battlefield 3 is set for release this fall on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

|My favorite of all my drawings Fortunately I took a while to do it|
Hi, I call Florent. I'm French. I am 22 years old. I am no longer a student.
I like to draw since elementary school.
I did not learn with the aid of a teacher, as some people do, I developed that gift alone. Currently (I did not know it before) I had the same gift that my grandfather (my mother's side).
Since I'm getting better year by year with the support of my family, my friends, and you of course.

Wal-Mart shopper tries to pass million-dollar bill
Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:53:07 GMT —
Sometimes, criminals aren't the sharpest crayons in the box.
Cops recently arrested a North Carolina man for trying to pass a $1-million dollar bill at a Lexington, NC Wal-Mart.
According to the Winston-Salem Journal, Michael Anthony Fuller, 53, walked into the Wal-Mart on Lowes Boulevard in Lexington on Nov. 17. He shopped for a while, picking up a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other merchandise, totaling $476, as listed in an arrest warrant.
When he got to the register, Fuller gave the cashier the phony bill, saying that it was real.
Store staff called police.
Fuller was later charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument, both felonies, court records show.
A warrant says of the fake million-dollar bill: "There is no such thing."
The U.S. Treasury's largest bill in circulation is a $100 bill. In 1969, federal officials discontinued the use of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills because of lack of public use.
The largest note ever printed was the $100,000 bill, which featured President Woodrow Wilson. The bills, which were not available to the public, were printed from Dec. 18, 1934, through Jan. 9, 1935, and were used for transactions between Federal Reserve banks.
Fuller was being held in the Davidson County Jail with bond set at $17,500. He was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
Lexington police Sgt. Shannon Sharpe said the case is unusual.
"It is kind of strange," Sharpe said.
Would you realize that even a $500 bill was a fake? What can be said about trying to buy $500 worth of stuff with an obviously fake bill?


NEW DELHI: A recent tweet from a customer urging Parle to bring back its Rola Cola candy has prompted the company to revive the heritage brand. Parle Products had stopped production of the iconic candy in 2006 after it failed to acquire enough volume. However, on February 13, a Twitter user from Kerala, Siddharth Sai G, tweeted, “Dear PARLE. Bring this back”.
The tweet received an encouraging response from Twitterati. Parle was also quick to respond with a challenge for Siddharth, saying, “If all you need is Rola Cola, then all we need are 10K retweets #BringBackRolaCola.” Since then, Siddharth has created a buzz on the social media platform and Parle has received over 10,000 tweets in a month so far, prompting the 88-year-old homegrown company to bring the brand back on retail shelves.
Dear PARLE. Bring this back pic.twitter.com/Oo792U3EJM— Sid (@ssaig) February 13, 2019
“We had discontinued Rola Cola in 2006 for the domestic market, while continuing to sell it in international markets such as Africa, as the product sort of stagnated after a decade from its launch in the 1990s. We are happy to reconsider our decision and bring back Rola Cola solely based on consumer demand,” said Krishna Rao, category head, Parle Products.
Parle is ready to begin production of the candy at the end of July and plans to make it available across the country by August. The confectionery will return in the same roll candy format priced at `5 per unit. It initially used to retail for Rs 2. For the modern trade channel, Parle is looking to launch a bigger multiple-pack offering priced at Rs 20 a unit.
“We are consciously shifting our focus to the higher price point or Rs 5 products because we are bleeding in certain SKUs (stock keeping unit),” Rao said. He expects Rola-Cola “to become a rage” getting Rs 100 crore, in terms of value, by the end of 2020 as the company is working on rekindling its overall confectionery business.
Following a request on Twitter, followed up by over 10,000 tweets, Parle decided to revive its Rola Cola candy, production of which was stopped in 2006.

Apple has invited select members of the press to a “special event” to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco on Wednesday, September 1 at 10am Pacific (1pm Eastern).
As you know, the Californian consumer electronics powerhouse is known for the best invites in the industry and the upcoming event is no exception. This time, their headline image is a close up of a guitar with the carved out Apple logo in the middle. Needless to say, rumor mongers have deciphered the image as a subtle nod at the GarageBand app for iPad.
Others are calling for a revamped $99 Apple TV (most likely re-christened as the iTV), a fourth-gen iPod touch with a FaceTime camera, cheap TV rentals, and more. Geek.com’s been closely following this hearsay reporting on a regular basis – hey, we enjoy the juicy rumors as much as you do.
If that invite is any indication, the upcoming event will be about music, the iPods (including that new iPod touch), iTunes, and nothing else. If Apple is to unveil the $99 Apple TV with the A4 chip and cloud storage, that probably won’t happen at a music-themed venue. Likewise, if cloud iTunes in fact exists, expect Apple to unveil it at a separate event.
Of course, there’s always that “one more thing,” Steve Jobs’ trademark surprise kept for the end of his presentation when he shocks the attendees with some unforeseen announcement. What do you guys think the “one more thing” moment will be on September 1st?

When 50,000 farmers walked the roads of Mumbai bare feet in the scorching heat to put forth their ordeals, I realised that India isn’t as developed as we think. How can our farmers be so miserable while we sit and enjoy an expensive meal? Are you actually aware of the condition of our Indian farmers?
The farmers are in debt and it is killing them. They are so tired of being unheeded that farmers old and young walked six days in scorching heat to reach Azad Maidan, Mumbai and discuss their needs with the leaders.
To ensure that our farmers get the due for their hard work, Indian government sets the prices of the crops and buys them too. It is not just the loan waivers that they requested for but that they should be paid at least one and a half times the cost of their produce.
The crucial request that the tribal farmers made was that they be given the ownership of the forests they have been cultivating for years. They have filled stacks of papers and are still awaiting the promised waiver. Their lives are squeezed with the menial returns they get for their crops while storage and transportation costs increase by the day.
Farming in India has yet to see modernisation. Agriculture has been wrecked by drought, exhausting water supplies and deteriorating productivity. The production in the farms is too less while there are several heads employed in a small piece of land. If there is a crop failure the farmers are in trouble. Even a surplus produce is a matter of concern for them too because proper storage and processing techniques is what we lack in India.
Farmers have been protesting for long waiting for a miraculous change. They protest peacefully even though it is tough to sustain livelihood under such dire situations.
The lopsided policies of our system need a change. Our farmers are discontented and the agrarian section of India writhes. They are impoverished and landless agricultures and our government needs to do something for them.

To be a band member of Earth, Wind & Fire, one apparently has to be able to sing lead vocals and be skilled on numerous musical instruments.
Most of the Grammy Award-winning R&B/funk/soul group's 12 members pulled double and triple duty during Earth, Wind & Fire's concert Saturday at the Walmart AMP in Rogers, effortlessly demonstrating a dexterity not always seen in many other performance groups. Singer Philip Bailey, one of Earth, Wind & Fire's three longtime, core members, occasionally played percussion, and for gentle-sounding introduction of one song, Bailey gently finger-picked at an instrument that looked like a kalimba, temporarily adding a slow, Eastern-style flavor to the band's musical presentation.
Earth, Wind & Fire's other two core players, singer Ralph Johnson and bassist Verdine White also embraced the amphitheater's spotlights for solos that seemed note-perfect. Johnson's percussion work added fluidity to Earth, Wind & Fire's already impressive sound, and White's long, slinky fingers dug hard and deep into the strings of his bass guitar for a funk-soaked workout. White's bass solo was colored by a gritty tone and a parade of notes that went far beyond elementary scale runs.
"Oh my, my," said one woman, who was struggling to carry three drinks and stopped in front of the sound board to witness White's bass showcase.
As terrific as the instrumental prowess proved over and over, it was the actual songs like "Shining Star," "September," "Serpentine Fire," "Devotion," "Keep Your Head to the Sky," "That's the Way of the World" and "Let's Groove" that served as the main reason why most of the multi-generational crowd purchased tickets. The live versions did an admirable job of retaining the breezy, feel-good vibes found within Earth, Wind & Fire's original studio recordings.
Many audience members seemed as relaxed and happy as the smiling band members. Several rows west of the sound board, eight people hopped and bopped their way into the aisle and began line dancing with each other. Most of those line dancers had good rhythm, and all of them seemed to be having a great time.
"I just love the diversity of this crowd," said Jennifer Wilson, public relations director for the Walmart AMP. "And this weather is nice. It's a good night."
Rachelle Jones of Fort Smith also offered positive comments, adding that the Earth, Wind & Fire concert was the "absolute perfect" kick-off for the 2019 concert season.
"I can't believe I'm seeing them, finally," she said. "The guys in Earth, Wind & Fire look sharp, and they sound even better. Just listen to those vocals."
The smile on Stephen Moore's face telegraphed his thoughts and feelings about catching his fourth Earth, Wind & Fire concert.
"Tonight's show might be tough to beat, because they just sound so good," said Moore, who also is from Fort Smith. "But I did buy tickets for Steve Miller Band and Marty Stuart here at the AMP, and I had to get tickets for Jamey Johnson, Jerrod Niemann and Cody Canada & The Departed, who will be playing at Temple Live in Fort Smith. I just can't stop with one concert, you know? I mean, who could ever do that?"


Poland produces approximately 1 million tons of biosolids per year – a little more than a third of which is municipal. Almost half of that is currently sent to landfill. With both biosolids volume and landfill costs expected to increase significantly over the next few years, alternative disposal methods such as incineration and drying are becoming of growing interest.
Some advantages to using the Ecoflash dryer include high energy efficiency; minimal environmental impact; and flexible, simple, and safe operation. Picture: Siemens AG
The Siemens Ecoflash thin layer dryer is designed to dry biosolids using either diathermic oil or saturated steam. Inside the drying chamber, a rotor equipped with adjustable pitch blades operates at high speed. The wet biosolids are fed into the drying chamber by a dosing unit (metering pump) and centrifuged by the rotor, into a thin film layer, on the drying chamber wall. The blades of the rotor move the biosolids through the process in a dynamic and turbulent action, creating an energy-efficient evaporation process. A counter current of air removes the evaporated water from the dryer and helps to cool the dried biosolids prior to them being discharged.
The Siemens’ thermal drying system was selected because of the technology’s high reliability and safety, small footprint, low maintenance, and minimal operator attention required. Additionally, integrated energy recovery makes the thermal energy requirement particularly low.

Proteins must be folded correctly to fulfill their molecular functions in cells. Molecular assistants called chaperones help proteins exploit their inbuilt folding potential and reach the correct three-dimensional structure. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) have demonstrated that actin, the most abundant protein in higher developed cells, does not have the inbuilt potential to fold and instead requires special assistance to fold into its active state. The chaperone TRiC uses a previously undescribed mechanism to perform actin folding. The study was recently published in the journal Cell.
Actin is the most abundant protein in highly developed cells and has diverse functions in processes like cell stabilization, cell division and muscle...

Choosing the right electric guitar strings plays an important role in getting the right sound, but with so many options it can sometimes be a little hard to find what you need. Not only are there so many brands, but there are also tons of thickness options, lots of materials, and more.
That, however, is exactly why we’ve put together this guide.
Here’s everything you need to know about electric guitar strings and how they can affect your guitar’s sound.
The first thing to consider when buying new strings is the strings’ gauges, also known as the thickness of the strings. Strings gauges are measured in thousandths of an inch. Strings are normally named after the thickness of the first, or thinnest string in the set. If someone says that they use “10s”, that means that in their set of strings, the first string is .010 inches thick.
Electric guitar strings normally range from .008 – .013. Sometimes you will see strings that are thicker than .013, but that’s normally for a baritone guitar. Standard electric guitar strings are .009 or .010. Thinner string sets are easier to press down and strum, which makes them better suited for beginners. Heavier strings have a purer tone, and are more sustained.
Here is a list of guitar string gauges, with recommendations for each.
.008 – Extra light
.009 – Light
.010 – Standard
.011 – Medium
.012 – Medium heavy
.013 – Heavy
Another thing to consider when buying electric guitar strings is the material of the strings themselves. This has an affect on overall sound too — just like the thickness of the strings. There are three types of electric guitar strings that are commonly bought — nickel-plated steel, stainless steel, and pure nickel. Here’s a rundown of each.
Nickel Plated Steel
Nickel plated steel strings are the most common electric guitar strings. In a pack of nickel-plated steel strings, the D, A and low E strings are made from a nickel plate wrapped around a steel core, while the 3 high strings are stainless steel. An advantage of these strings is that they typically last longer than other types of electric guitar strings. Nickel plated steel strings have a slightly more mellow sound, and the sustain is a little shorter. Here are some common examples, which link to places you can buy them. These vary in gauge size, but for many you can change the gauge to fit your preferences.
- Ernie Ball 2223 Nickel Super Slinky
- Elixer Super Light Nanoweb Electric Guitar Strings
- D’Addario EXL120+ Nickel Super Light
- Fender 3250L Nickel-Plated Steel
Stainless steel strings
Stainless steel strings are commonly used in rock settings, and have a much brighter sound with more sustain than other electric guitar strings. They are also a little louder. Stainless steel strings also feel a little “dryer”, and some feel that they are not as slick as other electric guitar strings. A disadvantage of these strings is that they tend to make more noise with finger movement. Here are some stainless steel string options for electric guitars. These are .009 gauges.
- Ernie Ball Stainless Steel Super Slinky
- D’Addario EPS520 ProSteels Super Light
- Fender 350L Stainless Steel Strings
Pure nickel strings
Pure nickel strings are the warmest and most mellow of the three types of strings, and are often used in blues and jazz. Pure nickel strings are good at resisting corrosion, and hence they last longer. Here are some examples of strings that are pure nickel.
- D’Addario EPN120 Pure Nickel
- DR Strings PHR9 Blues Nickel
- Fender 3150L Original 150 Pure Nickel Bullet End
- Gibson VR9 Vintage Reissue Pure Nickel
Last but not least is how the strings are wound. This may have a slightly smaller effect than string material and gauge, but still plays a role. Here’s a rundown of the different types of string winding.
Roundwound strings are the most popular types of strings. Roundwound strings are made up of a round section of steel wire with rounded wire wrapped around it. There is only winding on the three or four thicker strings. Most guitar strings are roundwound. Here are some popular brands of roundwound strings:
- D’Addario Roundwound Strings
- Ernie Ball Roundwound Strings
- DR Strings Roundwound Strings
- Fender Roundwound Strings
Flatwound strings are very popular among jazz guitarists because of their mellow tone. Flatwound strings are made by wrapping a flat wire ribbon around either a round or hex core wire. Because of the way they’re made, flatwound strings are more comfortable to play on, and string noise is greatly reduced. They also last longer, but they tend to be a little harder to bend, so take that into account when buying strings. Here are some flatwound strings that you can buy.
As you can see, there is a wide range of guitar strings available. You can see a full range of strings to choose from here. When discovering what kinds of strings work best for you, it is well worth buying a couple of different sets and choosing between them.


Novak Djokovic takes on Tomas Berdych in the men's singles quarter-finals at the 2016 French Open on Thursday (2 June).

Djokovic dropped his first set of the tournament during his win over Roberto Bautista Agut in the fourth round at Roland Garros. The match that was set to take place on Monday (30 May), was finally played out on Wednesday (2 June), which means the world number one plays on consecutive days due to fixture congestion owing to the weather. The French Open is the only Grand Slam title missing in the Serb's list of wins and he is looking like the favourite, despite Andy Murray and defending champion Stan Wawrinka's progress to the semi-finals in the other half of the draw.
Berdych, on the other hand, came through a comfortable straight set victory over David Ferrer, but will also be playing on consecutive days owing to the rain delays in recent days. The seventh seed will have his task cut out against Djokovic, but will take heart from the fact that his last victory over the world number one came on clay at the 2013 Rome Masters.
Betting odds (betfair)
- Novak Djokovic to win: 1/20
- Tomas Berdych to win: 9
The duo have faced each other 25 times in the past, with Djokovic leading by a mammoth 23-2. The last time they met was earlier in the year in the quarter-finals of the Miami Masters, with the Serb winning 6-3, 6-3.
French Open history
Djokovic and Berdych have never faced each other in the French Open, but have played each other twice each at Wimbledon and the Australian Open with the Serb winning on three of those occasions, the only loss being the semi-finals at SW19 in 2010.

The fishery is in the news again, problems in the shrimp, crab, cod not coming back as fast as expected, salmon stocks at an all-time low.
The one thing we don’t hear much about is the most important fish in the ocean, the fertilizer that makes all things grow, the lowly caplin.
According to a report this past winter from DFO, the caplin has not improved since 1990-91, when they were at an all-time low, in my opinion they were part of the reason for the collapse of the great Northern Cod, both collapsed at the same time.
In the late 1980s, Canada granted Russia a deal to fish caplin up the Labrador coast, 50,000 tons a year for 5 years, the first year they caught 50,000 tonnes, the next year 1,000 tonnes, caught all the caplin the first year. Having fished the Labrador coast for many years I knew the importance of caplin to cod and other species. Sad to say there was no cod to catch in Labrador two years before the moratorium, but no one picked up on this valuable information.
The caplin not only is the main food for most fishes but is very important to the birds that live on the ocean, the whales and the seals, because of the ban of our seal products by other countries, we cannot control the seals because we have little or no market, both the federal and provincial Governments did not think that seal products were important enough to the N.L. economy to make sure they were included into the European trade deal. The seal herds because they have been allowed to explode is having a tremendous effect on the fish in our ocean, especially the caplin which is one of their main diets.
Although it’s been known, caplin stocks have not improved since 1990-91. We still keep destroying them every year, and the powers that control the fishery can’t seem to understand how important they are to the health of our ocean.
At the last provincial Liberal convention there was a resolution put to the floor to ban the commercial caplin fishery until there was science done to see what the caplin stocks were. Several experienced fishermen supported the resolution but it was defeated by Cabinet minister Christopher Mitchelmore, who was able to garner enough support to do so. If our own government is against us how can we win?
In the news this past winter, the federal government decided to spend a large sum of money to restore the beach at Ship Harbour so that caplin can come ashore and spawn. Our beaches are not the problem. We have lots of them. Most of our caplin beaches do not have any caplin spawning on them anymore. The problem is that as soon as the caplin decided to come ashore to spawn the seiners will catch them first.
Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc, when questioned by a Fisheries Broadcast reporter about the state of the caplin fishery last year — where caplin were scarce and very small (same thing happened to the cod before the moratorium) and plants only bought them because there was nothing else — admitted there was a problem but made the statement, “although they were small, they would die anyway, so it was better to catch them.”
If you kill them before they reproduce where is the future for the caplin and the other species that depend on them?
Don Hutchens, president of the Salmonid Council of Newfoundland and Labrador wrote a letter in the Telegram on Feb. 24, where he talked about the importance of caplin to the wild salmon and the need for recreation salmon anglers and commercial cod and caplin fishers to stop the infighting and concentrate their anger at Ottawa.
If you read this letter carefully you will understand, as I do, our caplin has never been managed on its benefits to the ocean, but on how much money we can squeeze out of this resource. That is contrary to all common sense and the main reason our oceans are only producing a small percentage of what it once did.
This article was written before DFO released their report on caplin on March 12.
I will be following up with my thoughts, as a Newfoundlander who cares about the future of the fishery and our province and my different opinion on this report at a later date if the newspapers will allow me.

Dharamshala: The United States wants the United Nations to take up the Dalai Lama’s succession in an intensifying bid to stop China from making its meritless claims over the religious succession, the US Ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback told AFP.
“I think it’s really important to have an early global conversation because this is a global figure with a global impact,” he said referring to the Dalai Lama.
Ambassador Brownback had spoken at length about the succession issue with His Holiness the Dalai Lama during their meeting in October.
The Ambassador had told the Dalai Lama that the US would seek to build global support for the principle that the choice of the next Dalai Lama “belongs to the Tibetan Buddhists and not the Chinese government”.
“That’s the big thing that we’re really after now, to stir this before we’re right in the middle of it. If something happens to the Dalai Lama, that there has been this robust discussion globally about it ahead of time.”
“I would hope that the UN would take the issue up,” he told AFP, adding that China with its veto power on the Security Council would block any action, but countries could at least raise their voices at the United Nations.
“So they’ve [Chinese Communist Party] got a plan and I think we have to be equally aggressive with a plan.”
Late October, the US Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom visited the headquarters of Central Tibetan Administration [CTA] at the invitation of the CTA President Dr Lobsang Sangay in what was seen as the strongest political gesture of support for the Tibetan people and their religious freedom.
Alice Wells, Acting Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of South and Central Asia, had said the Ambassador’s meeting with His Holiness in Dharamsala emphasized enduring U.S. support for the Tibetan people.
The Ambassador for Religious Freedom also made clear in his statement here at Dharamshala that the US stance on the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama is in accordance with the resolutions passed at the third Special General meeting of Tibetan people.
Amb Brownback is one of the highest US officials to have led an official visit to the CTA.

In an industry fraught with NGO’s that often fall into the trap of competing for funding and limelight, is a new conservation organisation really what the continent needs?
Consider the possibility that while attentions are focused on Africa’s national parks and securing these important biodiversity reserves (and rightly so, with an upsurge of climate-related disasters, heightened poverty and a growing disconnect between Governments and the people they are meant to serve as a backdrop to this tale) another crisis is unfolding in parallel… the matter of protected areas that fall outside of national parks falling to neglect and ruin.
This is in fact a very sad yet very true story and indeed, the reason that yes, another conservation NGO has entered the stage with the explicit purpose of addressing the void in focus on these key conservation areas outside of national parks.
AND WE’RE OFF…
Conserve Global (Conserve) got out of the starting blocks in April 2020, amidst the chaos that the COVID-19 pandemic flung at the world. But they say one should never let a good crisis go to waste or in this case, get in the way!
So, a three-strong team of conservation die-hards took up the gauntlet and armed with determination and a formidable collective track record, set off to find ways to transform Africa’s impending conservation crisis into opportunity. Goodness knows, the continent is ripe for opportunity! This starts with the realisation that development and conservation are not mutually exclusive.
THE PLAYING FIELD
Africa’s conservation estate is vast if you look at just the numbers (perhaps not vast enough if you look at the green patches on a map!). National parks amount to about 850 000 sq km or 210 000 000 acres. But then if we add in the concession and community areas which surround the national parks, these vital landscapes rack up to twice that much again – an astounding 1 700 000 square kilometres or 420 000 000 acres.
That’s the scope of the playing field at stake here… a very critical one if one thinks about the fact that they are needed for landscape connectivity, as reservoirs of biodiversity, as vaults for ecosystem goods and services – the livelihoods and prosperity of Africa’s people depend on them – as buffers for climate mitigation and possibly most topically, as untapped opportunities to bring financial upliftment and development through the establishment of diversified nature economies. Problem is, with the rate of poverty growth (Africa’s population is set to double in the next 25 years) and wanton habitat destruction, there are probably only 5 years left to secure these landscapes before they are lost forever. Conserve is determined to halt this demise and turn it around.
SO NOW WHAT?
If the legacy of fragmented efforts and competing agendas has taught us anything it’s that collaboration is the best way forward. Conserve’s modus operandi is to support African governments and to work with rural communities as well as other like-minded NGOs, to secure and expand conservation landscapes, taking on the direct management responsibility of these critical areas for the benefit of people and wildlife.
We are embracing people and organisations with ideas that challenge conventional conservation thinking and outdated approaches to community inclusion; we are actively inviting new perspectives, innovative ideas and creative solutions, that – if directed to the right projects at the right time – can provide strong impetus to efforts that help protect and restore wilderness areas at risk of degradation, while simultaneously uplifting and empowering the indigenous communities living within and alongside them.
WHAT’S OUR END GAME HERE?
Conserve has set the rather ambitious target of protecting 25 million acres by 2030 and we aim to do this using a financial model that also bucks tradition and that does not rely on a single funding source, but rather employs a blended finance approach that taps into a diversity of revenue streams.
For example, forward-thinking carbon solutions will allow communities in remote areas to monetise their natural assets. Ultimately, the plan is to serve Africa, her people and her wildlife by mobilising innovative funding, optimising economic benefits, involving rural communities in value chains and securing intact ecosystems for the benefit of Africa’s people and wildlife.

Theatre manager Sarah Anderson said instead of just having a "dry run" they decided to make it into a bigger event with a concert featuring Musical Theatre Dunedin's Music of the Night.
It was the first time the stage, lighting rigs, sound system and seats had been used.
"It was fantastic. There were no technical hitches."
A huge fundraising push was made last year, led by the Otago Daily Times' sister publication, Dunedin community newspaper The Star, to raise the final $2 million needed for the upgrade.
In recognition of that effort, Otago Theatre Trust chairman Mike Shield announced the theatre's circle would be known as the Star circle.
After the concert a function was held with a 20m banquet table running the length of the stage over which 10 chandeliers hung and those attending were able to look at the new facilities such as the dressing rooms and stage set up - "what the money has been spent on".
The theatre opens to the public on August 4 for the 2011 New Zealand International Film Festival.

Each director will create a 60 minute horror film that will be released as part of this anthology. Screendaily reports that this could be the first of a series of GRINDHOUSE projects. The film will be released by the newly formed The Weinstein Company (TWC). The Weinsteins released this statement: “, “We couldn't imagine anything more exciting than a film being made together by the two godfathers of our companies, Quentin and Robert.” Should be good.

Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Program Reaches Over 1 Billion Hours of Play Time
For over 16 years the Xbox brand has been providing players a platform to experience a multitude of stories through gaming. They may not be the oldest gaming company but they’ve proven time and time again that they’re able to hold up against the biggest names in the business. The Xbox One backwards compatibility program allows fans to return to the games they loved once more even on the current generation of consoles. In fact, there are nearly 500 titles in the program, including the original system.
Mike Nichols, CMO for Gaming at Microsoft, recently released a post on the company’s behalf looking back at the road leading up to this year’s E3. The post thanks fans for the beginning of a record breaking year, stating that players have raised the bar by joining in on Xbox Live, forming friendships, play time within different titles, and engaging each other in creative new ways. Nichols also gave mention that the Xbox One backwards compatibility program has reached a new milestone in which players have spent over 1 billion hours replaying old favourites.
We’re seeing tremendous engagement of mega-hits like Fortnite and Far Cry 5, both of which play best in 4K Ultra HD on Xbox One X, joining the more than 200 games that now feature Xbox One X enhancements. But we’re also seeing fantastic engagement with Xbox One console exclusives like Sea of Thieves, the fastest-selling Microsoft Studios new IP of this console generation, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, whose new desert-themed map is now available to play on a dedicated test server ahead of its launch in Xbox Game Preview later in May. We also reached a couple milestones recently with players having enjoyed over 4 billion hours on games released through our [email protected] program and nearly 1 billion hours on games in our Xbox One Backward Compatibility library.”
The Xbox One backwards compatibility program continues to grow as a viable platform for playing classic titles even to the point of updating a few of them for even better performance. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. for example. recently saw a massive overhaul which brought to the title some impressive changes which fixed many of the issues that hindered the game’s original performance.
What do you think Microsoft has in store for their “biggest E3 yet?” Let us know your thoughts on the Xbox One backwards compatibility program and more in the comments section below.

- in Pop/Urban
Thanks to iconic songs like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness and Open Sesame, Kool & the Gang earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums.
From Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang has performed continuously longer than any R&B group in history and their bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have also made them the most sampled R&B band of all time. A reviewer recently called their performance “a 24-karat show” and every year, even after a half-century on the road, yields a non-stop schedule of shows across the globe.
The heavily-in-demand band has continued to tour the world, appearing most recently alongside Kid Rock, Dave Matthews Band, Elton John and The Roots and performing on a recent, 50-city tour with rock legends Van Halen.
In 1964, Ronald Bell and his brother, Robert “Kool” Bell, joined Jersey City neighborhood friends Robert “Spike” Mickens, Dennis “Dee Tee” Thomas, Ricky Westfield, George Brown, and Charles Smith to create a unique musical blend of jazz, soul and funk. At first calling themselves the Jazziacs, the band went through various names – The New Dimensions, The Soul Town Band, Kool & the Flames – before settling on their famous moniker.
Over the next several years they solidified their musical chemistry on the rough-and-tumble East Coast music scene supporting acts like Bill Cosby, Ritchie Havens and Richard Pryor. Their self-titled 1969 debut album introduced their signature instrumental sound and fierce horn arrangements and spawned their first Billboard R&B charted single, Kool & the Gang.
In 1969 Kool & the Gang released their self-titled debut album/ It was the introduction to a theme, music is the message, that Kool & the Gang stands by today. The instrumental album was an expression of their deep love of music. It was also an introduction to their signature sound and the fierce horn arrangements created by Khalis, Dee Tee, and Spike. Their debut album spawned their first Billboard R&B charted single Kool & the Gang and later Let the Music Take Your Mind.
The band’s stellar reputation grew with each album, but 1973’s gold disc Wild & Peaceful took Kool & the Gang to another level (#6 R&B, #33 Pop), spurred by the immortal party anthems Funky Stuff, Hollywood Swinging and the platinum smash Jungle Boogie. Hits like Higher Plane (#1 R&B), the classic Summer Madness (featured on the Grammy-winning movie soundtrack Rocky) and LPs Spirit of the Boogie, Love & Understanding and Open Sesame followed. The latter’s title track was featured on the top-selling movie soundtrack of all time, Saturday Night Fever, earning the group their second Grammy.
In 1979, Kool & the Gang unveiled a smooth new sound with Ladies Night. Produced by the legendary Pop/Jazz musician Eumir Deodato, it became their first platinum album. The #1 R&B title track reached #8 at Pop. It was followed by Too Hot (#3 R&B, #5 Pop). The 80’s would see them dominate the mainstream, starting with the double platinum-selling album Celebrate (driven by the international monster hit Celebration, which spent six weeks atop the R&B chart and became a #1 Pop single).
Celebration, which played as the American hostages returned from Iran, remains de rigueur at joyous occasions worldwide. The smashes Get Down On It, Take My Heart, Let’s Go Dancing, Joanna, Tonight, Misled, the #1 R&B, #2 Pop giant Cherish and the #1 R&B anthem Fresh (these last three from the multi- platinum LP Emergency) solidified the group’s international stardom. Kool & the Gang landed global commercial endorsements, supported countless charitable causes and were the only American group to participate in Band Aid’s 1984 Do They Know It’s Christmas project for famine victims in Africa. Later, “Celebration” was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame.
In 2014, they were honored with a BET Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award and in October 2015, in the town they sing about in one of their earliest hits, “Hollywood Swinging,” Kool & the Gang was honored to take their place as American musical icons with a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In 2016, they released a single, "Sexy (Where’d You Get Yours),” which rose to #15 on the Billboard Adult R&B chart. The song signifies a modernization of Kool & the Gang’s unmistakable sound, down to the dance floor-tailored bass grooves and the perfectly timed horns. It was their first airplay chart hit in a decade.
Today, the group enjoys global fame and recognition and a following that spans generations due in part to the groups widely sampled catalogue. Kool & the Gang’s drum beats, bass, guitar and signature horn lines lace the tracks of numerous artists including the Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Cypress Hill, and P. Diddy. Kool & the Gang is the most sampled band in hip-hop by far. Their music is also featured on the soundtracks for Rocky, Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction, Wreck-It Ralph and countless others.

If you’ve ever heard people talk about following God or hearing from God and felt confused about what that meant, I can offer one small, real-life, recent example.
So a couple weeks ago my husband and I had a spat. I can’t remember what we argued about, but it felt serious at the time, and the result was me going to bed early and him staying up late to work on the computer.
The standoff began. The rules were clear: Ignore the other. Act like you don’t see the other. And of course, don’t break the silence!
In the bedroom, alone, I felt moved to pray. But how could I pray sincerely with a feeling of strife between us… and in my own heart? I could try to ignore him, but I couldn’t ignore God. I couldn’t pray as if nothing was wrong and then go to sleep.
Following God’s Lead
I prayed about what it means to love him in hard times. Here’s how it went in my heart…
Me to God:
Shouldn’t he be the one to step up and encourage us to reconcile? Shouldn’t he come in and say, “Come on honey, let’s talk” or “Let’s pray together” or even, “Let’s drop it.” Lord, help me to follow my husband in the right way.
God to me:
First, follow me.
Me to God:
But if I go in there first, he’ll think I’m weak and I’m giving in and he’ll just keep acting like this. He should be the first one to put down his pride and come in here. How am I suppose to follow if…
God to me:
Putting down your pride is following me.
I sat there, on pause. It’s a feeling of that’s the truth, so now what? I realized any move that ignored God (for example, going to bed as if I hadn’t heard) would not be good.
So I thanked the Lord for speaking his truth and love into my heart, prayed for courage to outweigh pride, and then went into the living room.
Me to God…
Yes, God. I will follow you.
And you know what? God protected my heart.
I didn’t go in to stir the pot. I went in to tell him I loved him, and even though we were having a rough patch, we’d get through it. And that was it. Over, done, hugs, kisses, happy.
While I can’t say every argument has ended so wonderfully in the past, I can say that God is good, and He points us in the right direction. We just have to follow Him.
What’s something you’ve heard God lead you to do? How did you know it was God?

Cookies for breakfast are a thing, and should be everyday with this yummy Strawberry Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies recipe! These can also be made gluten free, dairy free, and egg free!
Ever since I first made Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Cookies, breakfast cookies have been a thing in my house. It’s always a special occasion when the kids have cookies for breakfast. I thought it was time to invent a new breakfast cookie to add to our rotation. Hello, Strawberry Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies!
I felt a little bit like an evil scientist coming up with this one. I little bit of this and a little bit of that. Let’s all just take a moment to savor the loveliness of strawberries and chocolate together. They really should be together all of the time! I used fresh strawberries which I would recommend. Frozen strawberries have a tendency to be mushier and may change the consistency of the dough.
There was an instant success after a quick go in the oven. My kids were hovering like vultures. I had to negotiate with the first pan of cookies so that I could take pictures. They were distracting me with all of their “Mmm”, and “Can I have another?”. I may have snuck a cookie too just to make sure they passed inspection.
Now the bonus that comes with these Strawberry Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies is you can make them gluten free, dairy free, and egg free. I will include variations for all, but these cookies turn out fantastic anyway you choose to make them. Trust me… I may have had to test-taste them all. I made them gluten free and dairy free for my crew and they are gone. They decided that they should be breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and one more after dinner cookies.
I made them gluten free and dairy free for my crew and they are gone. These are really chewy for being a gluten free cookie. Gluten free cookies have a bad wrap for being a little drier than a normal cookie. You can, of course, make the Strawberry Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies with regular flour too and they are still oh so good!
