Tumour Evaluation and Staging
This article summarizes recommendations reached following a systematic literature review and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in people with epidermolysis bullosa. The guidelines are intended to help inform decision making by clinicians dealing with this complex complication of a devastating disease.
Some forms of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) are associated with the development of cutaneous or, more rarely, mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Unlike cutaneous SCCs occurring in the general population where chronic ultraviolet exposure predisposes to the development of tumours on sun-exposed sites, EB-associated SCCs tend to arise at sites of chronic skin blistering, wounds and scarring. In addition, multiple primary SCCs often occur, tumours generally behave more aggressively than conventional SCCs, and they carry a very significant morbidity and mortality for those affected. EB cancers are the leading cause of death in patients with recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB), particularly the severe generalized form (RDEB-SG).
The cumulative risk of developing SCC in EB increases with age: for patients with RDEB-SG, the cumulative risk of having at least one SCC is 7·5% at age 20 years, 67·8% at 35 years and 90·1% by 55 years.[1] This increased risk is paralleled by an increased cumulative risk of death from SCC in this type of EB: 38·7% by age 35 years, 70·0% by 45 years and 78·7% by 55 years. These deaths occur despite aggressive tumour resection. The risks for patients with other forms of EB prone to SCC are lower, with tumours occurring later in life and tending to be less aggressive. It is also important to acknowledge that many EB subtypes, especially EB simplex, are not associated with an increased SCC risk.[1]
Clinical detection of SCCs in patients with EB on a background of chronic ulceration may be particularly challenging, and therefore the possibility of malignancy should be borne in mind, with suspicious lesions biopsied for histological evaluation. Hitherto, there have been many case reports in the literature describing EB SCCs and a variety of approaches towards investigation, monitoring and treatment. However, given the rarity of EB and the occurrence of cancer in a subset of patients only, there has been no prospective work or trials looking at how these tumours should best be managed.
DEBRA International is a worldwide network of national groups working on behalf of those affected by EB. In order to improve the diagnosis and management of SCCs arising in people with EB, they commissioned these guidelines, which have been drawn up from a systematic review of the available literature and guided by expert consensus. They are divided into sections on monitoring and surveillance for EB cancers, diagnosis, and surgical and nonsurgical treatments. Sections on putative preventative measures and palliative care have also been included.
To provide the user with information on the diagnosis and management of SCCs in people with EB so as to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
Dermatologists, paediatricians, plastic surgeons, dermatological surgeons, oncologists, dermatopathologists, palliative care physicians, nurses and people living with EB.
This guideline is aimed at adolescent and adult patients with forms of EB associated with the development of mucocutaneous SCCs, notably those with RDEB, dominant dystrophic EB, generalized intermediate junctional EB and Kindler syndrome.

Table 1. Summary of key recommendations
Strength of recommendation
Quality of evidence
Surveillance and diagnosis
At-risk patients with EB should have regular clinical surveillance for SCC D III–IV 11–13
Areas of skin clinically suspicious for SCC should be biopsied for histological evaluation D III–IV 12,14,17,22
All patients with EB presenting with an SCC should have multidisciplinary review
SCCs ≥ 5 cm diameter or overlying difficult anatomical sites should be imaged with magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography to assess tumour extent D III 15,16,27
Lymphadenopathy should be assessed for potential metastatic SCC D III 2,4,9,13,15–33
Patients with EB diagnosed with an SCC may require staging D III 4,13,20,22,24,27,34,35
Wide local excision is the treatment of choice for EB SCCs D III 2–6,8,9,13–16,18–22,24–27,30,32,33,36–60
Where an EB SCC excision is not possible, amputation of the digit or limb may be needed D III 3,9,10,13,14,17,18,20,22,23,25–27,29,30,34,38,40,42,44,49,51,58,61–70
Regional lymph node dissection should be offered if nodal SCC is identified by fine-needle aspiration or surgical biopsy
In some cases amputation may be favoured over wide excision where it is believed that a more aggressive surgical approach may reduce recurrence risk. Functional considerations and patient preference should inform treatment decisions
The choice of wound closure may be guided by anatomical considerations and availability of suitable donor skin or alternatives
Radiotherapy may be a useful palliative modality for inoperable EB SCCs or for subcutaneous, lymph node and distant metastases D III 12–14,17,19,20,26,30,34,38,40,66,71,76
Radiotherapy may need to be delivered in smaller fractions to minimize risk of severe skin desquamation in patients with EB
Conventional chemotherapy may be of some benefit used palliatively in EB SCCs, but risks may outweigh benefits
EGFR antagonists and tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be useful for palliation in advanced EB SCCs
Limb prostheses may be used successfully in EB following limb amputation D III 61–63
Appropriate analgesia should be prescribed to patients with EB towards the end of life. A number of different routes of administration of opioid analgesia may be used safely C 1– 88,90
Psychological support of the patient with EB and family/carers is vital after a diagnosis of SCC and as end-of-life care approaches

Q: How does a CRichEditCtrl know a paste operation has been performed? It has methods like CRichEditCtrl::Copy(), CRichEditCtrl::Paste() which you can call, but I can't spot any messages the control is sent by Windows telling it to perform a paste operation. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Or does CRichEditCtrl do something lower-level like monitoring WM_CHAR events? If so can I reuse any internal methods or would I just have to roll my own in order to override the standard paste functionality?
What I actually want is for my custom subclass (CMyRichEditCtrl : CRichEditCtrl) to ignore any formatting on text pasted in to the control. Either by getting the clipboard data in a different clipboard format, or by pasting it in as normal and immediately removing formatting on inserted text.
What I tried so far:

*

*Checking the message for WM_PASTE in CMyRichEditCtrl::PreTranslateMessage()

*Creating a method virtual void CMyRichEditCtrl::Paste()

*Putting a breakpoint on CRichEditCtrl::Paste() in afxcmn.inl

*Dumping every message passing through CMyRichEditCtrl::PreTranslateMessage()
Results:
1: No WM_PASTE message seen
2: It's never called
3: It's never hit... how?
4: The control never receives any WM_COMMAND, WM_PASTE or focus-related messages. Basically only mouse-move and key-press messages.
It seems other people have actually done this successfully. I'm wondering if my MFC version or something could be screwing it up, at this point.

A: Handle EN_PROTECTED message.
ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(EN_PROTECTED, &YourClass::OnProtected)

// call this from the parent class
void YourClass::Initialize()
{
    CHARFORMAT format = { sizeof(CHARFORMAT) };
    format.dwEffects = CFE_PROTECTED;
    format.dwMask = CFM_PROTECTED;

    SetDefaultCharFormat(format);
    SetEventMask(ENM_PROTECTED);
}

void YourClass::OnProtected(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
    *pResult = 0;

    ENPROTECTED* pEP = (ENPROTECTED*)pNMHDR;
    if (pEP->msg == WM_PASTE)
        pResult = 1; // prevent paste
}

A: What happens when the user requests a paste action is usually that a WM_COMMAND message with the identifier ID_EDIT_PASTE is sent to the rich edit control. By default in MFC this is handled by CRichEditCtrl::OnEditPaste(), which calls Paste() on the edit control itself.
The way I'd go about this is to derive a class from CRichEditCtrl, add an OnEditPaste method and route the message to it with a
ON_COMMAND(ID_EDIT_PASTE, OnEditPaste)

declaration, which should work. Alternatively, in your PreTranslateMessage you could look for WM_COMMAND with a wParam of ID_EDIT_PASTE.
By the way, I've solved a very similar problem to yours (paste without formatting) by just having an implementation of OnEditPaste with
void MyRichEdit::OnEditPaste()
{
  SendMessage(EM_PASTESPECIAL,CF_UNICODETEXT);
}

This responds to the paste request by sending a paste message to the control that insists that the data format is plain text.
Finally, I should point out that the above technique is sufficient to catch all pastes triggered from the user interface. However, it won't catch programmatically triggered pastes, when your code sends WM_PASTE to the edit control. In those cases it's easiest to just change your code. However, if you really want to intercept such cases, you have to get your hands dirty with COM and IRichEditOleCallback::QueryAcceptData. But you almost certainly don't want to go there :-)

A: Windows defines messages for cut/copy/and paste.  see WM_CUT.
It's probably responding to those messages rather than to WM_CHAR messages to know when to do clipboard operations.

A: Use the ON_MESSAGE Macro on your derived class.
ON_MESSAGE(WM_PASTE, OnPaste)
LRESULT CMyRichEditCtrl::OnPaste(WPARAM, LPARAM)
If you open the RichEdit.h file, you will notice that some of the messages are on the range of WM_USER. Maybe this is how MFC handles the events for the Rich Edit Control.

A: i have to perform like below
void MyRichEcit::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{

if( ( GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL)<0 && nChar==88 ) || (nChar==VK_DELETE && GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) < 0) ) //cut
    {

    }

if( ( GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL)<0 && nChar==86 ) || (nChar==VK_INSERT && GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) < 0) ) //paste
    {

    }

    CWnd::OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

A: Did you try CRichEditCtrl::PasteSpecial(CF_TEXT)? I believe it should do what you are wanting to do.

It works great and is able to tap anywhere I want, however I need to specify the tap duration (eg, touch down and wait 5 seconds before touch up) but this code uses the system's prefixed input tap which fixed the tap down and up time


The potential rule change was part of discussions between MLB and the MLBPA.
(670 The Score) In its ongoing efforts to accelerate the pace of play, Major League Baseball has proposed a rule that would require a three-batter minimum for pitchers, Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic reported.
The proposal came on Jan. 14 as part of discussions between MLB and the the MLB Players Association, which responded to the league's request with its own proposals last week. Those included a universal designated hitter beginning in 2019 and lowering of a team's draft position if it doesn't reach a certain amount of wins in a certain time frame over the course of seasons.
A three-batter minimum would be designed to reduce the number of game interruptions with mound visits and pitching changes, particularly later in a game. However, it would also diminish the specialty roles that certain relievers fill out of the bullpen.
If no agreement is reached between the two sides, commissioner Rob Manfred is empowered by the current collective bargaining agreement to implement rules that he previously proposed, which according to Rosenthal include a 20-second pitch clock, reducing mound visits from six to five and a new rule that would start a baserunner at second base after the 10th inning during exhibitions like spring training and the All-Star Game.

Q: macro: if radio button on then copy formula down a range My prob is this:
I want to be able to use a macro to copy & calculate formula down a range of cells if radio button is on.
But I don't know how to set the variable inside the formula. The macro below should copy the formula to ranges shown (I12:I252, K12:K252, M12:M252).
The formula itself includes a subtraction of two cells in the range of C12:C252 & B12:B252. I cannot seem to reference those cells. I thinks that's the problem...
Anyway, it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Dim shp1 As Shape
Dim shp2 As Shape
Dim i As Long

On Error Resume Next
Set shp1 = Worksheets("Worksheet").Shapes("Button 1")
Set shp2 = Worksheets("Worksheet").Shapes("Button 2")

If shp1.ControlFormat.Value = xlOn Then
    MsgBox "Auto Calculating"
    For i = 12 To 252
        Range("I" & i).Formula = "=IFERROR(((C & i)-(B & i))*I6/(E7-E6);"")"
        Range("K" & i).Formula = "=IFERROR(((C & i)-(B & i))*J6/(E7-E6);"")"
        Range("M" & i).Formula = "=IFERROR(((C & i)-(B & i))*K6/(E7-E6);"")"
    Next i

Else

    If shp2.ControlFormat.Value = xlOn Then
        MsgBox "Manually insert calculation"

    End If
End If

A: Few improvements:

*

*Replace the ; in your formulas with ,. ; is your local
setting, but .Formula uses the English setting!

*If you want to refer to each column, you need place the i outside the quoatation marks, i.e. instead of =IFERROR(((C & i)... write =IFERROR(((C" & i & ")...

*No need to loop each cell and set the formula. If you use $ in your formula properly, you can replace all with one formula: =IFERROR(($C12-$B12)*I$6/($E$7-$E$6),"")

*Better use .FormulaR1C1 - this way, your formula will also work, when you would applied it to some other range. To easily convert a formula, type it normally into a cell and the run ? Selection.FormulaR1C1in the VBA Immediate Window. The above formula translates to =IFERROR((RC3-RC2)*R6C/(R7C5-R6C5),"")

*Don't hard code cell references (in your case I12:K252). Better assign this range to a named range and use this as a reference. This way, your code will also work if you later add/remove rows or columns.

*Don't use On Error Resume Next! This is a invitation to oversee an error that should be fixed

*Optional: Alternatively to accessing the controls directly in VBA, you can also assign each one to a cell, name this cell as in step 4 and refer to in by this name. Makes your code more flexible/less complex!

So all in all, I end up with:
Public Sub YourSub()
    If Range("SwitchOne") Then
        Range("YourRange").FormulaR1C1 = _
            "=IFERROR((RC3-RC2)*R6C/(R7C5-R6C5),"""")"
    Else
        If Range("SwitchTwo") Then
            MsgBox "Manually insert calculation"
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Step 2. Fill the hole with water. Let it drain completely and record the time.
Step 3. If the first fill took less than 36 hours to drain, repeat step 2 in the same hole.
Step 4. If either the first fill or the second fill took longer than 36 hours to drain, then the perc test has failed and another Catch the Rain practice should be considered. For example, while a rain garden may not be suitable for your site, conservation landscaping with a microberm on the down hill side could be a suitable alternative practice.
*If the excavation will be 18" then a hole 18" is required.

On building AI responsibly
Building AI responsibly
Limiting bias and inexperience in AI-powered factories of the future
Published in techtarget.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals eight and nine are important in the context of Industry 4.0 and industrial IoT. SDG-8 calls for decent work and economic growth, while SDG-9 calls for innovation in industry and infrastructure. The purpose of the SDGs is to improve social conditions and advance humanity. AI plays a critical role in accomplishing this. For instance, let's look at the innovation that's happening in the Industry 4.0 space and where AI systems are proving efficient in preventing human errors and improving efficiency. The case studies from early AI systems clearly demonstrate that AI can not only improve efficiency metrics, like yield and throughput, but it can also reduce material waste and harmful emissions. In these scenarios, AI will create a net gain for us as society, improving human conditions.


In exploring the deeper human goal of learning, we look at how digital coaching generates powerful insights through life-changing conversations – and why this needs to become the new metric for online learning.
In the time it takes you to read this blog post, how many distractions will have popped up on your screen? Email notifications, social media comments, software updates, you name it. Never before has the competition for our attention been so great.
And it's no different with online learning.
I recently completed a digital coaching program on Cognician's online platform, and it would be remiss to measure what I learned based on the number of coaching guides completed or the time spent on the learning platform. What really stood out for me were the 'aha' moments; the little epiphanies that acted as road markers along my learning journey. I enjoyed the thought-provoking questions that led me to reflect deeply on the topic areas, and I felt inspired to practice what I'd learned.
What's the deeper human goal of learning?
Applied to online learning, what if the success of the program was measured by the number of positive conversations, the shifts in mental models, and the insights generated? It's easy to measure time spent on learning and the number of completions, but these aren't necessarily a measure of lasting behavior change.
What if the success of your learning was measured by your insights?
What's powerful about digital coaching is that it's designed to elicit rich insights through the kinds of questions a coach would ask. It generates the quality attention of a one-on-one coaching conversation. And it can be customized to achieve performance gains in almost any area where organizational learning is required at scale.
• Soft skills development in the professional services industry: 891 chats, with 1 441 insights shared.
Let's continue the conversation Tristan Harris started about redefining the core value of the technology we consume. Let's prioritize this new metric, which is less concerned with time spent, but rather time spent well.

Even Hendrick had up, down year
By Mountain Eagle Staff | on December 31, 2008
Steve Mickey
It's hard to believe, but it is actually time to start looking forward to the next Sprint Cup season. The 2008 season was filled with enough ups and downs to build a roller coaster and Hendrick Motorsports was no exception.
Now don't get me wrong, any time your organization can produce a record-tying third consecutive Sprint Cup championship it had to be a terrific year, but you have to remember we are talking about Hendrick Motorsports and the bar that owner Rick Hendrick has set is higher than at any other shop in the sport. Jimmie Johnson's third crown gave Hendrick his eighth overall in the series, as Jeff Gordon has four titles and former driver Terry Labonte won a title while driving for Hendrick.
This past season found Hendrick drivers Johnson, Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. make the field for the Chase. Fellow driver Casey Mears was playing the role of lame duck as Hendrick announced during the middle of the season that he would not be coming back in '09. Even though the organization had three drivers make the Chase, the only one that had the kind of season that was up to Hendrick standards was Johnson.
Johnson's year was the envy of the rest of the series as he got off to a slow start only to get better and better with each race. He and crew chief Chad Knaus were able to notch that third title by winning seven races to go along with 15 top-5 and 22 top-10 finishes. While Johnson and Knaus were able to work on their new COT and make it better, the same can't be said for Gordon, Earnhardt Jr. and Mears.
Gordon finished a very respectable seventh in the Chase but he failed to win a race, breaking his string of 14 consecutive years of winning at least one race that began back in 1994. Although he didn't win a race, he did post some good numbers with 13 top-5 and 19 top-10 finishes. Unlike Knaus, his crew chief Steve Letarte never seemed to get the handle on the kind of adjustments it took on the COT to put Gordon in a position to be running at the end of a race with a chance to win.
Hendrick's newest driver, Dale Jr., did make it to victory lane in his first season with the organization, but other than that one win the highlights for this team were very few. Even though he made the Chase, he never was a factor as he finished in 12th place with season totals of 10 top-5 and 16 top-10 finishes. By Hendrick standards, it was an underachieving year for this team and if its performance doesn't pick up in '09, crew chief Tony Eury Jr. may find himself on the hot seat.
Hendrick's fourth team struggled this season with Casey Mears behind the wheel, but he was able to claim a 20th-place finish in the standings that puts the car safely inside the top 35, assuring it of a starting spot in the first five races of the season. Being assured of a starting spot for the beginning of the season can take a lot of pressure off a new driver, but when the new driver is going to be Mark Martin it almost becomes an unfair advantage.
Martin was named the driver for '09 last season, which now gives the organization four drivers that can win on any race day and finish first in the final point standings. Martin has been competing in the series since 1981 and has 16 top-10 points finishes on his resume¿ with four of those finishes runner-up spots. Since his days with Jack Roush, Martin has always been known as a team driver who would share information with his fellow drivers, which definitely fits the mold of Hendrick drivers who always put the organization first.
Martin is a competitor and should be good for the four-team organization that seems to thrive on competition. Make no mistake, Martin is at Hendrick's for one reason and one reason only, and that is to run for the title. He will now have the equipment and manpower to do it, but so will his three teammates that also want to give Hendrick Motor Sports its ninth title.
It could be that if you are good enough to be the best at Hendrick in 2009 the Sprint Cup championship will automatically come with it.


Over 218,000 meals served to poor and displaced people in Toronto and Hamilton.
Despite its prominence as the economic centre of Canada, Toronto has struggled with chronic homelessness. It's estimated that over 5,000 people are homeless on any given day. Since 2001, Muslim Welfare Centre has provided Toronto's homeless with food through our Meals on Wheels program. Every Saturday, volunteers gather to prepare over 500 lunch bags consisting of a sandwich or burger, seasonal fruit and a juice box. Once prepared, these lunches are hand-delivered to the homeless in various shelter locations in downtown Toronto. This program runs every Saturday (rain or shine, winter or summer) 52 weeks a year. We are proud to say that we have not missed a single Saturday since we started thanks to our dedicated volunteers and supportive donors. During the winter months, warm clothes (winter jackets, socks, gloves and scarves), blankets and sleeping bags are also distributed to assist the homeless in coping with the harsh weather. We wish to acknowledge the contributions of Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS) organizers who have supported this program with an annual winter jacket drive. We are grateful for 2,400 plus winter jackets received and subsequently distributed.
Last year, we distributed almost 16,000 lunches. Help us to feed the homeless by sponsoring a lunch for just $3.

The Edinburgh Capitals are a Scottish ice hockey club, playing in the Scottish National League (SNL). They are based in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. The team play at the Murrayfield Ice Rink, close to Murrayfield Rugby stadium.

In April 2018, a consortium led by David Hand (brother of ex-Racer Tony) won the contract for ice time at Murrayfield, effectively rendering the Capitals homeless.

The newly formed Murrayfield Racers applied to join the EIHL and take the Capitals' place but were rejected, plunging the future of top level ice hockey in the city into jeopardy.

The Racers were subsequently accepted into the Scottish National League (SNL) instead, where they remained until 2022.

However, in July 2022, four years after the Capitals had folded, it was announced that Murrayfield Ice Rink had new management and that the Edinburgh Capitals would return to play in the Scottish National League.

History

BNL years
The Edinburgh Capitals were founded in 1998, following the collapse of the Murrayfield Royals, replacing them in the British National League (BNL).

The first three seasons for the new Edinburgh team were largely unsuccessful, finishing 8th out of 9 in their inaugural season (ahead of the Paisley Pirates), 8th out of 10 in their second season (ahead of the Milton Keynes Kings and the Pirates), and 9th out of 10 in their third season (finishing once again ahead of the Pirates).

The Capitals would receive a massive boost for the 2001–02 season, with the signings of former NHLer, Jason Lafreniere, and SM-Liiga player, Roland Carlsson. That year the club finished seventh out of 12, with Lafreniere amassing 88 points in 44 games. The following summer saw Lafreniere leave the Capitals to join league rivals, the Guildford Flames.

Over the following three seasons, the club developed a European style of hockey, recruiting most of their imports from Slovakia and the Czech Republic.  Among those included fan favourites, Jan Krajíček, Ladislav Kudrna, Peter Konder and long-serving captain, Martin Cingel.  The 2002–03 season also marked the arrival of the popular, Elmira College graduates, Steven Kaye and Adrian Saul.  The club once again made a mid-table finish, ending the season in 6th place out of 10.

The 2003–04 season saw the Capitals make a blockbuster signing. Former Murrayfield Racers legend and league winning player and coach, Tony Hand, would be returning to Edinburgh after leaving the Dundee Stars.  Under Hand, the Capitals would accomplish their best ever league position, finishing third out of seven and for the first time, make the playoff semi-finals.  The forward line of Hand, Saul and Kaye would top the scoring charts, with the trio finishing as first, second and third top point scorers in the league. Adrian Saul would also finish as the league's top goal scorer, with 31 goals in 35 games.

The 2004–05 season was a very disappointing one for the club.  During the summer, the league's deadliest line from the previous season was split up, with Hand signing for the Elite League's Belfast Giants, Steven Kaye moving to French side Morzine-Avoriaz, and Adrian Saul moving to the club's biggest rivals, the Fife Flyers. Ladislav Kudrna, the team's goalie from the previous two seasons would also switch teams, moving to Yorkshire based Hull Stingrays.  The Capitals would finish this season in last place, recording only six wins, making it the club's worst season in the league.

The step up to the EIHL

Early EIHL seasons
Following the 2004–05 British National League season, the Capitals and Newcastle Vipers applied to join the Elite Ice Hockey League, however both clubs withdrew their offers to make a joint application with the other remaining BNL clubs.  Terms could not be reached between the Elite League and the BNL teams, so the Capitals and Vipers returned to their initial offers. Both clubs were accepted into the Elite League for the 2005–06 season. The BNL subsequently disbanded and the remaining teams moved into other leagues.

This season saw the return of Tony Hand as player/coach, after taking the Giants to a 2nd-place finish during the previous year.  In the regular season, the team finished last with 23 points in 42 games.  Due to the London Racers folding mid-season, the Capitals made the playoffs by default and were placed in a group with Nottingham Panthers, Sheffield Steelers and eventual 2005–06 playoff champions, Newcastle Vipers. The team finished bottom of the group with two points in six playoff games.

For the 2006–07 season, Scott Neil took over as head coach after Hand signed as player/coach for the league newcomers, Manchester Phoenix. In the regular season, the team finished tied for last place with Hull Stingrays, with 39 points in 54 games.

In the summer of 2007, the club made the announcement that 29 year old, American forward, Doug Christiansen, would be the team's player/coach for the 2007–08 season. Under Christiansen, the Capitals qualified for the Elite League Playoffs for the first time, finishing 8th in the league and picking up 41 points. They were seeded against League champions, Coventry Blaze, who defeated the Capitals 1–0 at Murrayfield and 3–2 at the SkyDome Arena (4–2 on aggregate) at the Quarter Final stage of the competition.

Christiansen was re-signed by the Capitals for season 2008–09, however the team struggled near the foot of the table for the first half of the season. The Capitals showed dramatic improvement in the latter stages and qualified for a playoff position by finishing 8th for the second year in a row. League champions, Sheffield Steelers, defeated the Capitals 8–2 in the Quarter Final first leg, with the Capitals defeating the Steelers 5–4 at Murrayfield in the return leg (12–7 on aggregate).  This season was notable in particular for the skill and contribution of Mark Hurtubise, who finished as the league's top point scorer, recording 89 points in 54 games. Hurtubise also made the Elite League All-Star Team.

Christiansen's 3rd season in charge was injury plagued, losing key players throughout the season, including himself with a shattered kneecap in the first game of the season. But the Capitals showed their battling qualities and set a new franchise record for number of points in a season (52). They finished 6th in league setting another franchise record. This led to Christiansen being awarded Coach of the Year by the IHJUK. They played the Nottingham Panthers in the playoffs and got a respectable 4–4 draw at home in the first leg but were defeated 5–0 in the second leg (9–4 on aggregate).

2010–11 season and management changes
Following the departure of Steve Thornton as coach, the Belfast Giants swiftly appointed Christiansen as coach for the 2010–11 season. On 1 July 2010, it was announced that Brad Gratton would replace Christiansen as head coach of the Edinburgh Capitals.

The 2010–11 season was an especially difficult one for the Capitals, which saw Gratton resign from his role as head coach after only four months in the job.  It was announced that club owner and general manager, Scott Neil, would take over as head coach for the remainder of the season.  This was, however, followed by a string of eight import players leaving the Capitals over the course of the season due to club financial difficulties.  The Capitals lost the remainder of their games (most of them heavy defeats) and finished the season bottom of the Elite League. They recorded only six wins and 15 points and failed to make the playoffs, making it the club's worst season to date.

There was further uncertainty when it was announced on 5 June 2011, that after nine seasons with the Edinburgh Capitals, loyal club captain, Martin Cingel, was moving on to the Manchester Phoenix of the English Premier Ice Hockey League.

After 13 years as sole owner of the club, it was announced that there would be a restructuring of management. Local businessmen Raymond Lumsden and Matthew Tailford would be joining Scott Neil as co-owners – forming a management team which would also include the Capitals Webmaster, Keith Butland.

On 26 September 2011, it was announced that Scott Neil would be stepping down as general manager of the club, and would be replaced by business advisor, Len Wilcox. It was revealed that Neil would remain at the club as co-owner and Hockey Director. It later transpired that negotiations with Wilcox and Lumsden had broken down and that neither would be involved with the club.

However, on 5 October 2011 it was announced that Matthew Tailford would be taking up the additional role of general manager. A further addition to the management team was announced on 27 January 2012 as George Ferdinando would become the latest shareholder of the club.

2011–12 season
On 16 August 2011 it was announced that experienced, Slovakian forward, Richard Hartmann, had signed for the Capitals for the 2011–12 season. It was confirmed on 24 August that he would also take on the role of head coach, becoming the club's first European coach.

Under Hartmann, the club would once again return to a predominantly European style of hockey, signing all but one of their imports from Slovakia, Czech Republic or Latvia – something unique to the Elite League.  After a promising first half of the season, the club suffered a string of injuries and a loss of momentum, which resulted in the team finishing in 9th place and, once again, failing to make the playoffs.  The season went out with a bang however, with the last game being against the old enemy, Fife Flyers, who had finished bottom in the league.  The game finished 11–3 in favour of the Capitals, but was also notable for the number of fights and incidents, including a bench clearance, a player's jersey being thrown into the Fife support, and several players being thrown out of the game.

It was announced on 22 December 2011 that Richard Hartmann had agreed terms to return as player/head coach for the 2012–13 season.  This positive news was followed on 5 February 2011 with the announcement that fan favourite, and league top goalscorer, René Jarolín, would also return for the 2012–13 season. Jarolín would be rewarded for his season's effort by being named to the EIHL Second All-Star Team.

2012–13 season
The 2012 off-season saw several key changes to the lineup, with the previous season's captain, Jan Safar, moving to Kazakh club HC Gornyak and alternate captain, Bari McKenzie, moving to Cardiff Devils. Frazer Goldie, who had spent part of the previous season with the club on a two-way contract, joined full-time from Solway Sharks and Willie Nicolson re-joined the club after spending a season with rivals Fife Flyers. Hartmann also continued to recruit from Europe, signing promising Slovak goalie, Tomáš Hiadlovský, and experienced defender, Michal Dobroň, who had previously played nearly 600 games in the Czech Extraliga. On 3 September, it was announced that club legend, Martin Cingel, would be returning to the Capitals and would once again take over the role as captain.

The Capitals had a slow start to the campaign, spending the first couple of months in the bottom two of the league. The team roster was strengthened in November, however, when the Canadian duo Curtis Leinweber and Brent Patry joined from Chinook Hockey League side Sylvan Lake Admirals and Italian Serie A2 side HC Neumarkt-Egna, respectively. The return of alternate captain, Jade Portwood, who had been injured earlier in the season, also gave a boost to the club. The Capitals would go on to beat every team in the league at least once, and finish the season in a respectable 6th place – making the playoffs for the first time in three years. The Capitals faced Doug Christiansen's Belfast Giants at the Quarter Final stage. The first leg took place at the Odyssey Arena and finished 3–1 in favour of the Giants. The return leg saw the Giants progress to the semi-finals after beating the Capitals 4–3 at Murrayfield (7–4 on aggregate). The Giants would finish as playoff runners-up, losing to Treble winners, Nottingham Panthers.

René Jarolín was named for the second year in a row to the EIHL Second All-Star Team, while Richard Hartmann was named as Coach of the Year.

2013–14 season
After a positive 2012–13 season, the club looked to retain as much of the team as possible during the off-season. Player/head coach, Richard Hartmann, and forward Peter Holečko returned for their third consecutive season, while other key returnees included captain, Martin Cingel, alternative captain, Jade Portwood, goalie, Tomáš Hiadlovský, Canadian forward, Curtis Leinweber, and Slovak defenceman, Michal Benadik. It was announced that after spending the previous season in Kazakhstan, former captain, Jan Safar, would also return to the Capitals.

René Jarolín, who finished as the club's top point scorer for the previous two seasons, would move back to Slovakia to join HC Dukla Senica. Other departures included Michal Dobroň and Brent Patry signing for French clubs Morzine-Avoriaz and Chamonix.

New additions to the club included Canadian centre, Les Reaney, who joined from the Wichita Thunder of the Central Hockey League and Czech duo, Tomáš Horna, who previously played for Beibarys Atyrau and Martin Lučka, who spent the previous season with Piráti Chomutov of the Czech Extraliga.

After a poor start to the 2013–14 season, the club announced on 29 September that Michal Dobroň would be returning to the Capitals, signing a new two-year deal. Dobroň had previously left Morzine-Avoriaz after picking up an injury in pre-season. Head coach Richard Hartmann described the signing as "one of the biggest signings I've made for this club... To secure Michal's services for two years is tremendous".

Despite the importance of Dobron's return, the club continued to struggle. Further changes to the roster saw Reaney, Lučka and Horna leave the club midseason, while Latvian winger Mārcis Zembergs returned to the club and Czech forward, Jaroslav Cesky, joined from the Cardiff Devils. The team's fortunes failed to improve after the roster shuffle, and the Capitals finished the season in last place by some distance. Curtis Leinweber would finish as the club's top point scorer, with 57 points in 51 games.

One bright spot of the season saw the Edinburgh Capitals (SNL) team win the grand-slam after finishing 1st in the Scottish National League, and winning both the Playoff and Scottish Cup championships.

2014–15 season
After the disappointment of the 2013–14 season, Hartmann renewed his contract with the Capitals for a fourth season as player-coach, with the promise that the team would be competitive in the future. During the offseason, the club would proceed with a clear out of the roster and implement a new hybrid style of play, with half the team's import players being from Europe and the other half from North America. The only import players to return for the 2014–15 season would be goalie, Tomáš Hiadlovský, and newly promoted captain, Jade Portwood. Both players would be in their third season with the club. Former Elite League all-star, René Jarolín, would also re-join after spending a season back in Slovakia.

As part of their new approach, the Capitals looked for players recently out of college or junior hockey, signing Swedish forward (and former college teammate of Portwood and Leinweber), Daniel Näslund; Canadian winger, Dennis Rix; American, and 6'7" Canadian defenceman, Kyle Flemington. To add more pro-experience to the team, the club looked to American forward, Greg Collins; 6'8" Canadian forward, Riley Emmerson; former Nottingham defenceman, Joe Grimaldi; and the Slovakian defensive pair, Lukáš Bohunický and Marcel Petran. After the retirement of long-serving Scottish players, Neil Hay and Daniel McIntyre, the club signed Callum Boyd from Kilmarnock Storm and James Wallace from Solway Sharks (on a five-year contract) as replacements.

Despite the change of style, the 2014–15 season would prove to be an inconsistent one for the club. An early losing streak, followed by a strong points streak in November and  early December, was again, followed by another losing streak which stretched into late January. Ultimately, the Capitals would finish the season in 9th place, missing out on the playoffs by 1 point. René Jarolín once again finished the season as the club's top goal and point scorer, with 30 goals and 56 points in 53 games.

Several notable events occurred during the season, including: Emmerson receiving a controversial 10 game ban after only his first game at the club; Grimaldi being released from the club after spearing Nottingham defenceman, Evan Mosey, throwing his helmet at Mosey's face, and sucker-punching him; the addition of American defenceman, Loren Barron to the team, and return of Slovak defenceman, Michal Benadik; and beating the Giants 6-4 in Belfast - their first win at the Odyssey in nine seasons.

2015–16 season

After four seasons at the Capitals, it was announced on 6 April 2015 that Richard Hartmann would be stepping down as the club's player-coach. Eight days later, it was confirmed that fan favourite and former Minnesota Wild draft selection, Riley Emmerson, would return to the club after being appointed player-coach for the 2015–16 season. On the announcement of his return, Emmerson stated that his goal for the club was to "[change] the culture of the Edinburgh Capitals and I want to bring guys in who want to better the club, better themselves as players and to better themselves as people, while they wear a Capitals jersey."

Emmerson's first offseason as coach saw a clear out of the previous season's roster, with defenceman Kyle Flemington being the only other import to return for the 2015–16 season. After three seasons at the club, goalie Tomáš Hiadlovský would leave to join Basingstoke Bison of the English Premier Ice Hockey League. The club's top point-scorer from the previous season, René Jarolín, would also move to the EPIHL, signing for Milton Keynes Lightning. Although initially agreeing to re-sign for the Capitals, defenceman Loren Barron announced that he would be retiring to pursue a career outside of ice hockey. Other retirees from the 2014–15 season included forwards Dennis Rix, Jade Portwood, Greg Collins and Daniel Naslund.

Emmerson's recruitment during the summer brought about a change in on-ice philosophy, with the club signing players familiar with the more high-tempo and physical North American style of play. Forwards Everett Sheen and David Rutherford, alongside defenceman, Kyle Bigos, would join the Capitals from the ECHLs Ontario Reign; whilst defenceman Jacob Johnston and forward Ryan Hayes would sign from former league rivals, Utah Grizzlies. First year pros Taylor Dickin, Nate Fleming, and Craig McCallum would join the club from the universities of Manitoba, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, respectively. Other key recruits included forwards Trevor Gerling from the Elmira Jackals, Paul Zanette (on a two-year contract) from Italian club HC Bolzano; and goalie Carsen Chubak, who would sign from fellow Elite League club, Belfast Giants.

It was announced on 14 October 2015 that newly named club captain, Everett Sheen, would be leaving the club with immediate effect. Alternate captain, Paul Zanette, was later chosen as the new captain of the Capitals. On 10 November 2015, Canadian forward Brandon Coccimiglio – a former teammate of Rutherford – joined the club as the replacement player for Sheen. The Capitals had to deal with the departures of Ryan Hayes and David Rutherford, while Nate Fleming would also leave for personal reasons. Ned Lukacevic, Ņikita Koļesņikovs, Brandon Thompson, Garrett Milan and RJay Berra would later join the club but the Capitals would finish bottom in a hugely disappointing 10th place, despite a strong start to the season, thus missing the play-offs. Emmerson would later leave the club and retire from hockey after one season as player-coach while club stalwart David Beatson, the Capitals' longest-serving player, would retire after eighteen years with the team.

2016–17 season
After the retirement of player-coach Riley Emmerson after one season in the role and two as a member of the Capitals, the club appointed Michal Dobroň in May 2016 as their new player-coach for the 2016-17 season. Dobroň had previously been a Capitals player between 2012-2014.

Dobroň began his recruitment early by signing Canadian centre Taylor MacDougall from the University of New Brunswick, forward Mason Wilgosh from the University of Prince Edward Island, and his former teammate Karel Hromas from HC Morzine in France.

He then added defenceman Michael D'Orazio from St Mary's University in Canada and D'Orazio's former St Mary's teammate, forward Matt Tipoff.

The marquee signing by the Capitals was arguably former NHL first-round draft pick, forward Pavel Vorobyev. The Capitals continued their recruitment with the signing of former Carolina Hurricanes forward Jared Staal in July 2016, netminder Travis Fullerton and forwards Yevgeni Fyodorov and one-time NHL draft-pick Ian Schultz. The roster was completed in early September with the signings of Latvian defenceman Rihards Grigors following a successful trial with the team and Czech defenceman Jaroslav Hertl - the brother of San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl. Netminder Jordan Marr would later join from the Hull Pirates of the EPIHL initially on a short-term loan, before signing permanently in early 2017 on a deal until the end of the season.

Having been eliminated from the Challenge Cup at the quarter-final stage by Sheffield Steelers (the first time the Capitals had ever made it out of the group stage of the competition), a pair of defeats at Murrayfield to the Nottingham Panthers in consecutive days in March 2017 rendered the Caps unable to qualify for the 2016–17 Elite League playoffs. It was the fourth consecutive season that the Capitals have failed to make the post-season. Pavel Vorobyev finished as the Capitals' top scorer in all competitions, tallying 58 points in 60 games.

2017–18: The club's final EIHL season
After confirming their place in the expanded 12-team Elite League following the adoption of a three-conference structure, the Capitals began their search for a new coach following the departure of Michal Dobroň on 17 May 2017. Dobroň left the Scottish capital to sign for Brest (as player-assistant coach) following one season as Edinburgh's player-coach.

On 9 June 2017, the Edinburgh Capitals pulled off something of a coup to land former NHL all-star Dmitri Khristich as their new head coach. Khristich had played over 800 NHL games and had coached in the KHL, becoming Edinburgh's first bench coach since Brad Gratton in 2010.

The club quickly confirmed that fan favourite Pavel Vorobyev had agreed to return for a second season with the team, before news that Khristich was being assisted in his recruitment and scouting by two former NHLers in Darius Kasparaitis and Khristich's former Washington Capitals teammate Andrei Nikolishin.

The first new import signing was confirmed on 23 June 2017 with the capture of centre Mike Cazzola, the 2016–17 top ECHL rookie points scorer, on a two-year deal from Fort Wayne Komets.

Despite the renewed optimism, however, the on-ice fortunes quickly unraveled from October after Duncan Speirs, Taylor Stefishen and Julius Nyqvist were released by the club - quickly followed by Alexander Islamov - with the Capitals embarking on a desperate run of 13 consecutive defeats before their second league victory of the season arrived with a win against Coventry on 19 November 2017. To compound their predicament, the club suffered the added blow of losing top scorer Marek Tvrdoň who requested to be released owing to a family illness.

In December 2017, things went from bad to worse for the club when Khristich left the Capitals by mutual consent with the club cut adrift at the bottom of the league. Captain Michael D'Orazio and long-time bench coach Jock Hay were confirmed as the interim coaches for the foreseeable future charged with the unenviable task of turning around the on-ice fortunes.

The Capitals would finish with their worst-ever record in the Elite League era, finishing 12th with just five wins from 56 games and with only 11 points to their name.

The 2017/18 season proved to be the final EIHL season for the Capitals after the team lost the Murrayfield Ice Rink ice-time contract to a rival bid, under the Murrayfield Racers name, led by David Hand in April 2018.

Coastal Places
Coskata-Coatue History
As was the case on Martha's Vineyard, 17th-century European settlers arrived to find the Wampanoag people had been living on this island for thousands of years. The indigenous peoples called their home Nantucket, "the land far away at sea" and their chief was Wauwinet, whose name now graces the gateway to the refuge. Coskata and Coatue also derive from Wampanoag place names, meaning "at the broad woods" and "at the pine woods," respectively.
Colonists were content to establish themselves closer to the inner harbor, clearing and burning land for homesteads and grazing – but for the most part leaving this section of the island to its lovely isolation.
Property Acquisition History
Original acreage a gift of Mrs. J. Allen Backus and Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Sziklas in 1974. Additional land given by Christopher K. Lohmann and Pamela Fezandie Lohmann in 1983 and 1989, and by Backus Trust in 1986. Partial interest in 125 acres given by the Lohmanns in 1989 and 1993, completed in 1998.

Coskata-Coatue


Set your oven to 200 degree C and grease your loaf tin with oil.
Heat oil for tempering. Pop the mustard seeds, add cumin and sesame seeds. Toss this tempered oil into the semolina batter and mix. Adjust your taste with the salt-chilli seasoning.
Lastly, add the baking soda and immediatly pour the batter into the baking dish and toss it in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes and check with a skewer or knife if it is done.
Done. Sit back and enjoy.
This snack is perfect if one is wondering what to make for quick breakfast, lunch or dinner or simply for teatime.
CAN I OMIT THE VEGETABLES?
Jessica: I really loved your comment about omitting veggies… for there is nothing in the cake without the lovely vegetables. Im grinning here.
But to answer your question…. YES, you can. You will still get the cake by increasing the quantity of semolina (as vegetables added to the bulk of the cake) and adjusting the seasoning accordingly.
Oh excellent. I had tried this once and it turned out messy sticking to baking tin. Excellent blog. Enjoying here.

The Trailer For 'Mortal Kombat: Legacy' Debuts With Guns Blazing (VIDEO)
Filed under: Movie News, Video, Cinematical
Fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on the possibility of more live-action adventures set in the world of 'Mortal Kombat,' the infamous video game series of the 90s. It all started last summer, when a bloody, hard-hitting short film landed on the Web from filmmaker Kevin Tancharoen, and starring Michael Jai White (of 'Black Dynamite' fame) and Jeri 'Seven of Nine' Ryan. Video game fans were happy to see a film adaptation that actually tried to match the tone and impact of its video game predecessor.
Well to all those who were hoping that the short was the start of the something more, you'll be happy to new that Tancharoen's gritty depiction of 'Mortal Kombat' will continue in a new web series called 'Mortal Kombat: Legacy' — and we have the first trailer for it behind the jump.
Kirsten Dunst Faces the End of the World in 'Melancholia' Trailer
Filed under: Trailers and Clips, Movie News, Cinematical
Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier goes mainstream — well, as much as the determinedly indie director ever would — in the trailer for his new all-star film. "A beautiful film about the end of the world," is the tag line for 'Melancholia,' which stars Kirsten Dunst, Kiefer Sutherland, John Hurt and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
The setting is the marriage Justine (Dunst) to Michael ('True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard), but while small domestic dramas are playing themselves out, a mysterious planet is also making its ominous way towards earth.
'Armageddon,' this is not. The mood seems, well, melancholic, with swings toward soap-opera-ish high drama. Last year, von Trier described the film only as being "about two sisters and a planet."
'Hanna' Star Saoirse Ronan on Fairy-Tale Acting and Killer Training
Filed under: Celebrity Interviews, Features, Hot Topic, New Releases, Cinematical
In the movies at least, it seems as if violent killers are getting younger every day. Following in the footsteps of Chloe Moretz's Hit Girl in 'Kick-Ass,' Saoirse Ronan plays the title character in 'Hanna,' Joe Wright's new film about a teenage girl who's been trained since birth to take out targets — and she's every bit as good as her predecessor. Cinematical sat down with Ronan, the Oscar-nominated young star of films like 'Atonement' and 'City of Ember,' and talked about the challenges of bringing to life a character who's an unusual combination of lethal force and fascinating naiveté.
'Hanna' Director Joe Wright on First-Time Action and the Genius of the Chemical Brothers
Filed under: Celebrity Interviews, Hot Topic, New Releases, Cinematical
Before 'Hanna,' Joe Wright was probably best known for his period dramas, and could easily have carved out a comfortable niche buttoning up beautiful actresses like Keira Knightley in too-tight clothing and putting them through the paces of anachronistic romances. But his new film reunites him with his other 'Atonement' star, Saoirse Ronan. This time, though, instead of ruining lives, she simply ends them, playing a pre-teen hitwoman who leaves a trail of bodies in her wake as she races to reunite with her retired-agent father (played by Eric Bana).
Cinematical sat down with Wright as the director discussed creating fairy-tale imagery, chatted about his collaboration with electronic music luminaries the Chemical Brothers and offered some insights into the unspoken and unrevealed stories beneath the film's stylish surface.
Schwarzenegger Back in Action (and Not Just As a Cartoon)
Filed under: Movie News, Cinematical
Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to showbiz won't be limited to just voicing his new action hero, 'The Governator.'
The 'Terminator' star is also planning to headline the action film 'The Last Stand,' in which he'll play a small-town sheriff who must recapture a drug cartel leader before he crosses the border to freedom in Mexico. Korean director Kim Jee-Woon ('The Uninvited') will take the reins.
Schwarzenegger is also in talks for 'The Tomb,' for director Antoine Fuqua. He'd play a security expert who is framed for a crime he didn't commit, then locked up in a prison he designed. Hmmm, think he manages to break out and catch the real criminals? Bruce Willis was previously mentioned to star.
Kat Dennings Seduces a Small Town in 'Daydream Nation' Trailer
"It's 'Juno' reimagined by David Lynch," teases the trailer for the new indie 'Daydream Nation,' starring Kat Dennings as a big-city girl forced to move to a "backwards hick town." Bored out of her mind, she stirs up all kinds of trouble, including seducing her teacher (Josh Lucas). We think it looks like 'Easy A' for the Sundance set.
A previous trailer features darker scenes, including a car crash and one character waving a gun.
The film co-stars Andie MacDowell as Dennings' mother and Reece Thompson ('Ceremony') as the boy Dennings' character hits on then dumps.
Watch the trailer after the jump.
See Buffed-Up Tom Hardy in New 'Warrior' Trailer
The new trailer for brother-versus-brother fight movie 'Warrior' hit today, with glimpses of a much buffer Tom Hardy and a battered Joel Edgerton.
Hardy ('Inception') stars as the younger brother who joined the Marines, and Edgerton ('Animal Kingdom') plays the older one who became a teacher and had a family he now can't support. Nick Nolte is already drawing Oscar buzz as the father of this fractious clan, a former alcoholic who's now training Hardy.
Picture 'The Fighter,' but with mixed martial arts and the two brothers getting into the ring and fighting each other. Gavin O'Connor, the man behind the inspirational Olympics hockey pic 'Miracle,' wrote and directed.
Our own Erik Childress pronounced it better than 'The Fighter' after seeing it at CinemaCon.
'Your Highness' Review: A Half-Baked Tale of Might, Magic and Mary Jane
Filed under: Reviews, Cinematical
If you're the kind of role-playing gamer who attempts to have sexual intercourse with every random NPC you come across, then 'Your Highness' was made specifically for you. This is the multi-million-dollar physical representation of a late night Dungeons and Dragons game with friends, one that's gone way past the point of anyone taking it seriously and sinking into that kind of "Who cares?" anarchy that happens when you're up way past your bedtime. You'll have to bring your own 20-sided die, but director / Dungeon Master David Gordon Green provides the rest.
There's a very specific kind of vibe that Green is attempting here — it's loose, ribald, silly, and no one really seems to care how it all turns out in the end, but the film also wants to show respect to the sword-and-sorcery genre. The balance is such that the action sequences are meticulously staged to hold their own with any sword-clanging B-picture, while the comedy is so off-the-cuff that it's almost immediately forgettable. It doesn't help that there's basically only one kind of joke in 'Your Highness,' and the novelty of hearing co-writer and star Danny McBride utter anachronistic F-bombs is only slightly amusing the first time. By the 20th time, it's downright grating.
Beastie Boys Release 'Fight for Your Right — Revisited' Star-Packed Trailer
The Beastie Boys released a trailer Thursday for their 30-minute short 'Fight for Your Right — Revisited' in support of the trio's forthcoming new album 'Hot Sauce Committee Part Two.' And it's a doozy.
As MGM used to say, there's more stars here than in the heavens: Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Jack Black, Rainn Wilson, Rashida Jones, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, Steve Buscemi, Stanley Tucci, Susan Sarandon, Chloë Sevigny, Will Arnett, Kirsten Dunst, Maya Rudolph, Martin Starr, Laura Dern, David Cross, Orlando Bloom and Zach Galifianakis (not all are in the trailer — see who you can spot after the jump).
We haven't seen the film — it premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival — but the video gives you an idea of the insanity that goes on.
Rogen portrays the Beasties' Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Wood plays Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and McBride takes the role of Adam (MCA) Yauch in an exploration of what happened after the party in the group's breakout 1986 video '(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party).' There's all kinds of wildness and havoc-making, especially when the trio meet up with themselves from 25 years in the future: Ferrell as Ad-Rock, Reilly as Mike D and Black as MCA. (In the movie, the fun is broken up by a trio of NYC cops, played by the Beastie Boys).
'Hot Sauce Committee Part Two' will be on store shelves May 3 but in the meantime the Beasties have provided a sample of one of the cuts, 'Make Some Noise.'
Watch the video after the jump. But beware: it's red-banded, meaning four-letter words.
Early Edition: Ben Stiller Ready for 'Walter Mitty'; Joe Eszterhas Returns to H'wood; More
The daydream is over. Fox has finally got their script together for the long-in-the-works remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and may have nabbed their star: Ben Stiller. According to Deadline, the film has been in development for ages and had attracted such names as Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen and directors Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Gore Verbinski. But the script was never right and only recently did the studio put Steve Conrad (The Pursuit of Happyness') on the case. His version attracted Stiller and the talks are on. Now they need a director for the late fall start.
Remember Joe Eszterhas? You may be too young to recall the bad boy screenwriter, but you'll surely know his films: 'Basic Instinct,' Flashdance,' 'Jagged Edge' and 'Showgirls.' Well, Eszterhas has returned to Hollywood with a new sexual thriller, 'Lust' — described as a cross between 'Basic Instinct' and 'Fatal Attraction' — about the sexual hijinks of a 30-year old married beauty who is in love with an older Miami-based fashion magazine publisher but gets seduced by a younger charming playboy on a business trip to Los Angeles. The playboy's Russian assistant — who is in love with him — secretly videotapes the new lovers having sex to show it to her husband. And then things really get out of hand. Eszterhas left Hollywood after a series of flops, moving to Cleveland to write books and live the family life. But he's back now, and has teamed with producer Scott Steindorff on this new film, which the pair will try to sell at Cannes in May. The duo are aiming for a late summer start.

Moroccan Furniture History & Techniques
by Carolina Cooney September 14, 2020
Learn more about the fascinating Moroccan furniture industry. From Moroccan furniture to Moroccan doors, the history of woodworking in Morocco is explored in this guest post by Abderahhim El Haddad:
Every Suwari child (a child from Essaouira, Morocco) has memories, and every person has a memory with a thorn. I have not forgotten my childhood. My father, may God have mercy on me, brought me in with the teacher, Moulay Al Taher, as well as the teacher Moulay Chukhar, may God have mercy on them. Essaouira has become famous thanks to the traditional industry, especially the Arar (woodworking) industry. The story does not end...
The history of the juniper/tamarix wood industry in the city of Essaouira goes back to the early days of this city's prosperity, with the beginning of its construction by the Alawite Sultan Muhammad bin Abdullah during the 18th century AD, to transform it from a commercial port through which ships from Europe crossed in the direction of West Africa, to a place where travelers remained. The days of the "wars of recovery" against the Iberian Mamelukes during the 15th century AD, to the city of List Al-Bunyan, in order to use the juniper wood provided by the forests surrounding Essaouira in building their houses, building the roofs of their mosques and making the doors of their homes.
The traditional industry in the city of Essaouira was famous for its Arar industry, in which the craftsman relies on two basic techniques: composition and inlay. The composition industry requires making a mosaic of wood to cover the facades of furniture by gluing. As for the inlay technique, it requires employing a precious material such as ivory, bone, shell, metal and others on the juniper wood facade by drilling.
Plants and geometric shapes constitute the traditional craftsman's inspiration for his decorative creations. The technique of plant decoration is known as tawariq, while geometric motifs are called underlining. Instead, tawariq derives its forms from nature: flowers, plants, stems. As for underlining, it depends on harmonious forms within the decorated field according to a specific plan. The thing that enables the diversity of plans and shapes used in the manufacture of archeology, such as the dish called makibah which carries decorations geometric and botanical and is made of thuja wood encrusted with mother-of-pearl, acacia and lemon wood. They also make round tables, boxes for decoration for women, and gifts for loved ones. Everyone who visits Essaouira notices the beautiful thuya creations.
I forget the names of the founders of the wood engraving cooperative since 1948: The first teacher Mana was born in 1910 and died in 2002, the teacher Muhammad Zarif born in 1927 and died in 1993, the teacher Ahmed al-Zaim born in 1948 and died in 2001, the teacher Abdul Qadir al-Hamriborn in 1937 and died in 2006, as well as the teacher Moulay Al-Bashir Al-Bashkrawi, the teacher Allal Ait Mohamed, the teacher Koko, the teacher Omar Baantar, the teacher Boubakr Adjan and the rest of the many who died and some of them are still alive.
Some materials used in the craft of engraving on junipers in Essaouira include:
Ebony, lemon, Thuja root, thuja, mother of pearl, Aluminum, wire, Mahogany, walnut, The bone, flowers, charafa, mhincha, dfra, sboula, heart kandil, rabaayia, louza, adsa, mricha
"Engraving on junipers and making exquisite sculptures from its wood is an art that every knowledgeable connoisseur appreciates, and it is often appreciated by tourists visiting the city, who are keen to acquire some pieces as a souvenir of their visits," adds Abdel-Hay, who is eager to transmit this handicraft to the younger generations for fear of losing it and disappearing, especially since most of the "learned" quickly leave the carpentry workshops to join other professions that they think might bring them money, and are not subject to the fluctuations of the tourism market in the city, as is the case in the juniper industry.
Wood, which is a raw material that creates oxygen, is not only present in all traditional Moroccan arts, but rather acts as an oxygen for it; when wood comes out of its physical context and is subject to change and formation, it is present in all geometric shapes and wood products.
The Muhammadiyah Carpentry and Wood Engraving Cooperative set specific goals since the beginning of its course, and it was able to achieve some of them, while waiting for the rest to develop.
Enabled the National Initiative for Cooperative Human Development to support the strength of its means of work, and to make it put the first steps in the direction of developing ancestors' craft, while being keen to keep abreast of developments in this sector. The cooperative is betting on the youth, who believe in the slogan "The craftsmanship is nothing but live songs", to carry the torch, continue the path, and develop the sector that promises a lot.
Most Moroccan families are eager to have their homes equipped with furniture and fittings made of wood, whether in bedrooms, salons, kitchens, stairs, etc. They are committed to quality, high craftsmanship, and on-time product delivery.
From this standpoint, the great concern of a group of traditional and modern carpentry craftsmen in Muhammadiyah is to preserve and develop this craft, and to work on its preservation from generation to generation, which made them guide them to establish the Muhammadiyah Cooperative for Carpentry and Carving on Wood.
The Cooperative was created in 2009, out of the womb of an association that achieved a set of gains for the benefit of the craftsmen involved in it, as it signed a set of agreements with doctors and pharmacists to benefit from medical services and medicines at preferential prices, in addition to organizing some social activities, but the desire and ambition was greater to improve the situation. This group, and their work in an organized manner to achieve a qualitative take-off in this field, resulted in the establishment of the cooperative. Things went as planned by seven members who formed the first nucleus of the birth of the cooperative, among them ancient craftsmen in the field, and others who have recently graduated from vocational training, after they received the assets of this profession.
Mohamed Bouain, president of the cooperative, says that the National Initiative for Human Development supported the association with a sum of money, which was used to purchase machines and other equipment that were added to the equipment that the cooperative had, in order to expand its activities.
Bouain added that the Department of Vocational Training also contributed in supporting the activities of the cooperative by granting it a seat within the training in order to work within it, in return for the members of the cooperative to teach students wishing to train in the field of carpentry lessons in this specialization, which enabled many young people to train well by receiving practical training in the workshop in which the cooperative operates.
Muhammad Buain stated that the cooperative contributed to the formation of many students who wish to pursue this specialization, and some of them started working with the cooperative and receiving constant income, which brought them family stability, in addition to benefiting from social security services. This encouraged the rest of the other students, seeing what they would also receive in return for their work in the cooperative workshop, motivating them to give and develop this promising sector.
Here are some pictures of wood engraving in the southern desert city of Zagora, Morocco, where the main wood is Tamarisk, or Salt Cedar :
