The effects of prolonged or constant anxiety are detrimental to the good health of your dog. Your dog's brain experiences anxiety and produces body tension, elevated heart rate, panting, chewing and many other behaviors that are destructive to his body and to the world around him.
Stress starts in the Limbic System
Your dog's stress starts deep in the Limbic System of his brain, which is responsible for emotions, fear and anxiety. Nerve cells there can hyperactivate, producing too much electrical current which your dog experiences as stress. Over time, the brain learns how to respond to the world. In an anxious dog, too much stress can become associated with things that don't warrant it, like a smell, a person or another dog. Then even if their situation changes (like being rescued from an abusive household), the anxious response is still triggered – through learning and by the hyperactivated nerve cells – and your dog's body reacts.
CBD can calm hyperactivated nerves
Multiple studies in both animals and humans have shown that Cannabidiol (CBD) may act through one or both of the body's Endocannabinoid and/or Serotonin Systems (an important body system responsible for maintaining mood balance). CBD can act in multiple areas of the brain associated with anxiety to calm innate fears (spontaneous anxiety), reduce conditioned fear associated with traumatic stress (contextual anxiety), and reduce obsessive compulsive behavior. Cannabidiol accomplishes these effects by changing the behavior of the nerve cells in the brain through a process called cell signaling – providing a calming signal to the hyperactivated neurons.
The benefits of CBD being natural
Another benefit of using CBD to relieve the many forms of anxiety is that it is natural and does not use the neural pathways used by prescription drugs. This allows Cannabidiol to provide similar levels of relief from anxiety as prescription drugs without the associated side effects. Furthermore, CBD has been shown to be effective in relieving a broad range of anxieties, instead of being targeted to a specific condition.
Whether caused by separation, thunderstorms, car rides or any other cause, your dog's prolonged anxiety can have some significant impacts on his health and his quality of life.

From Charles:
I will give you some of my background, although the intense transitions of the last few years have left me feeling like a new person. Hmm, I wrote that sentence two years ago, and it is still true today. I was born in 1967 and was a very sensitive, intellectual and dreamy child. I was always consumed by questions like, "Where did I come from?""Why am I here?" "Where am I going?" so of course, embedded as I was in a culture that sees science and reason as the source of truth, I tried to "figure out" the answers. I graduated from Yale University with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, but my development of reason and intellect brought me no closer to any truth I really cared about.
I didn't know what I was searching for, but I knew that none of the usual options life presents a Yale graduate attracted me. I went to Taiwan, learned Chinese, and soon found myself working as a translator. I spent most of my 20s there, educating myself broadly (though not at all rigorously – it was more through osmosis) in Eastern spiritual traditions. I also read voraciously: books on health, nutrition, globalization, physics, and biology. Translation led to other business opportunities, and I became familiar with this dimension of the human experience. In Taiwan, I met my dear friend and ex-wife Patsy, with whom I have three children, all boys.
In my late 20s I entered what was to be a long period of intensifying crisis. It started when all my professional work became intolerable. It became excruciating to do work I didn't care about. Even though a million reasons told me why it was irresponsible, impractical, and foolish to quit, I eventually could not make myself do it anymore. An irrepressible feeling, "I am not here to be doing this!" took control of my life. So I entered a long period of searching. I spent time teaching yoga, learning about herbs, and teaching at Penn State's department of Science, Technology, and Society. All of these endeavors have contributed to my present and future, but none were really me.
The next five years were much like a birthing process. The old world dissolved, and the contractions birthing me into the new took the form of a collapse of all that I once held onto. Crises in health, marriage, and money forced me to let go of a "life under control." In my helplessness, I accepted help, discovering a generous universe that has always met my needs, somehow, in unexpected ways. I have never made much money, but I have become rich in connections to other people. Friends and strangers from all over the world write to tell me how my books have affected them; they sustain my faith and nourish my passion for my work.
In addition to writing books and essays, I have been doing a tremendous amount of public speaking. Sometimes, especially when I am tired from traveling, I wonder if the world needs yet another man performing "speaker up in front of an audience." Why not stay at home and use technology? But I find that something happens in person that is irreplaceable. For one thing, at live events I can see the expressions on people's faces, and I respond to that in real-time, engaging in a sort of dialog. Secondly, my speaking is not just about conveying ideas. Something else rides the vehicle of the words, even if the topic is something mundane like steady-state economics. I sometimes describe my experience as a speaker as being plugged into a field that is not my creation, but is generated by the audience and by something beyond the audience. Besides, I find that my thinking stagnates and my heart atrophies when I am in front of my computer too much. I need to interact with real people, face to face. That's why I travel and speak.
On the other hand, I am increasingly drawn to developing the non-verbal, embodied gifts that I've neglected. Like many people, I have a feeling that there is a Next Step about to happen, in my work and beyond. I don't know what it is, but I do know its revelation will come through transforming experiences that reveal and heal things I was blind to. My work, my play, my family, my deep soul connections, my wholeness, my wounds… all of these are bound up together, evolving as one.
I am now remarried as of 2011 and have a baby, my fourth son, Cary, with my wife Stella. Besides mothering, Stella practices Chinese Medicine and other healing modalities. The two teenagers, Jimi and Matthew live with us too; the 9-year-old Philip only sometimes. My favorite moments are watching Jimi and Matthew play "pass the baby" with Cary, who thinks it is the funnest game in the world. Of course we have our challenges and I have occasional moments of seeing my whole life as a father as a collision-course of errors, but overall I feel extremely lucky to have such amazing, sensitive, talented, kind children.
Lately people sometimes treat me like a celebrity, which makes me feel uncomfortable, because I know I am just me. On the other hand, it has become impossible to answer every email and say yes to every offer to interact. I have to turn down most offers to speak, travel, write blurbs for books, and so on. Also the attention focused on me can get overwhelming. I understand why real celebrities need to insulate themselves. Even receiving appreciation can be too much to handle sometimes, although it has sustained me too through periods of setbacks and doubt. I do my best to stay accessible and answer as many contacts as possible.
I can't really tell you my plans for the future; it all depends on what is revealed to me in the next phase of my personal exploration. Besides, the world is approaching a state of flux that could easily render most plans irrelevant. I will continue writing and speaking for at least another year or two. My main interest now is in exploring the boundaries of what is "possible" according to our received beliefs, received habits, received technologies, and received ways of knowing. For humanity to take that Next Step, we are going to have to violate what is politically practical, socially practical, and even technologically practical. The same holds on the personal and relational level. I have caught glimpses of the impossible in all these realms and I am excited about what lies ahead.
Thomas Hübl is a young German spiritual teacher and is the one I am currently studying with myself. He teaches a lot of online courses which are composed of video talks and meditations at various intervals and in-between his organization helps you come together with "triad" partners to work on the material you are learning together. I enjoy the people that also study with Thomas very much and find over time that I am developing a larger and larger group of people with whom I resonate deeply and LOVE having conversations with. These are not ordinary surface-level conversations. We explore the deepest areas we can reach together and we never have any idea about what is going to happen in our meetings before it happens. We just get curious together and explore new dimensions of what spiritual development is about, what it means to be in relation with each other and so much more. Thomas has a lot of his sangha in Europe and in Israel, but he is getting more well known now in the US.Thomas Hübl was born in Vienna in 1971. As a 26-year-old medical student who was also very interested in bodywork and related therapies, he felt a strong inner calling. He took the radical step of following this inner wish, abandoning his studies and spending the next four years in retreat in the Czech Republic. During this time he did almost nothing except meditate and explore the spaces of inner consciousness. Looking back on this time, Thomas speaks of a fundamental opening that took place.
After returning to Vienna, he started offering one-to-one sessions. His ability to touch people very deeply and encourage them to take a look beyond what they usually see soon led to invitations to lead larger workshops.His popularity then grew further and he became known internationally. Since 2004 Thomas has been active worldwide, organizing talks, workshops, trainings, tonings and larger events such as the popular Celebrate Life Festival or his Healing Events which have brought together thousands of Germans with many Israelis to acknowledge, face, and heal the cultural shadow left by the Holocaust. When he is not traveling, he lives in Berlin and Tel Aviv together with his partner, the Israeli artist Yehudit Sasportas and has one young daughter.

David Rosenthal is the practice group leader of the Labor & Employment practice group. He primarily represents employers in state and federal litigation, in court and before administrative agencies in the full range of employment disputes. David also counsels employers on compliance with state and federal regulations that govern their relationships with their employees.
Protecting employers from the misuse of their confidential information and trade secrets by former employees is one of the primary focuses of my litigation practice. I focus on responding quickly and successfully to such threats by obtaining injunctions to prevent the misappropriation of valuable information and unfair competition. In some cases, I have been called upon to represent talented individuals in lift out situations, allowing them to compete fairly using their personal skills and know-how in more suitable employment settings.
Employment discrimination litigation, defending wage and hour class action matters and contesting whistleblower claims—all on behalf of employers—comprise the balance of my litigation practice. A persuasive advocate for my clients, I have a long track record of success in defeating such claims, by trying cases to judgment or achieving resolutions on very favorable terms.
Dispute avoidance is also a large part of my practice. Assisting clients with legally compliant policies and procedures, providing practical advice before the dispute escalates, and using practiced, successful mediation techniques have contributed to many advantageous resolutions of potentially damaging disputes.
I view my job as being a problem solver. I make my clients' jobs easier by helping them with what are often emotionally charged, and legally complex, decisions about employees and resolving them practically and efficiently. Many clients have told me they want an employment lawyer who tells them what they can do, not what they can't do. I try to be that person.
The myriad employment laws and regulations are a mine field for employers. Increased employee mobility will require employers to be especially diligent in protecting their intellectual capital from misuse by departing employees. As the law provides greater protections for whistleblowers, employers will require experienced advice on compliance programs and HR practices to protect against retaliation claims.

It could be back to the baby name book for one French couple.
As The Local reports, the parents of a daughter born in November 2017 are fighting for their right to name her Liam.
The traditionally male-gendered moniker has raised the ire of French prosecutors, who have reportedly argued that it would "create a risk of gender confusion" that could harm the girl socially. (Liam is a diminutive of William, the French version of which is Guillaume.)
Local news outlets report that the public prosecutor is taking the matter to court with the aim of getting a judge to stop the couple from using the name and force them to choose another.
It's not the first time the anonymous couple, who have two other children, have raised concerns with an unconventional name selection. The registrar suggested giving the infant "a more feminine middle name," but the mother hesitated.
The two are reportedly looking to hire a lawyer and have postponed their daughter's baptism while they await the scheduling of a trial date.
Though the practice of giving girls traditionally male names has become popular in the U.S. — Jessica Simpson's daughter is named Maxwell Drew, while Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have a girl named James — France tends to take a more conservative view.
The prosecutor cited famous Liams, including actor Liam Neeson and Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, as proof that the name is intended for men. According to BabyCenter, however, Liam has shot up 4,383 places since 2017 to become the 2,664th most popular name for girls.
It wasn't until 1993 that French parents could consider unusual names, having previously been restricted to a government-approved list of prenoms. And French courts have intervened before when they feel the creative streak has gone too far. Names that have been banned include Fraise (the French word for strawberry) and Nutella, which was changed to Ella in 2015.

Big Fresno Fair horse racing: Day 2 selections
Bee editors and horse players Kenny Lewis and Dave Cooper are going head-to-head with a bankroll battle during The Big Fresno Fair, which continues its nine-day meet at 1:45 p.m. Friday. Each started with a hypothetical $500.
Exacta Kenny says
Thursday: Lost $80 as No. 7 Ihearditallbefore ran second in the fourth race won by No. 6 Gotham Sky at 6-5.
Bankroll: $420
Today: It's the first Friday of the meet, and we could not have scripted a better day for racing. Sunny, mild and a 100 percent chance of cold beverages and lots of winning tickets. Speaking of winning, let's get hot early. Six maidens enter the gate in Race 3, and one of them looks like they'll be long gone.
The bet: You're not gonna get rich on No. 1 Dream of Eagles (9-5), but sometimes you have to take what you can get. Second start, draws rail, plunges in class and should roll home gate to wire. If we can get anywhere near 9-5, that's good enough for a few beverages and a burger. $100 win on the 1. Also, let's pound a $20 exacta, 1 over the 3 and 5.
Note to Dave: I hate having chalk for lunch, but I'm looking to bankroll the rest of the day. See you in the beer line after Race 3.
Dimer Dave says
Thursday: Lost $30 as No. 6 and heavily favored Wise Tale ran fourth in the fifth race won by No. 7 Outthink'em at 2-1.
Bankroll: $470.
Today: Hunting for a price, I landed on No. 2 River House, at 10-1, in the seventh. The top two on the morning line deservedly will take plenty of money. My hope is trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and jockey J.J. Hernandez can get the jump on this field and repeat the magic that saw them win five times in seven races at Fresno in 2016.
The bet: $20 to win on the 2 and a five-horse, 10-cent superfecta box ($12) using 2-3-5-7-8.
Note to Kenny: Some of us have to work on Fridays, so I can't join you, but think of me, and hopefully my two C-notes, while downing that Silver Bullet.
The Big Fresno Fair horse racing
First post time: Weekdays 1:45 p.m., weekends 12:45 p.m.
No racing: Tuesday, Oct. 10 and Wednesday, Oct. 11
Admission: Ground floor is free with fair admission
Seating: $5 reserved, $7 box (must purchase whole box, which come in two-, three-, four- or six-seat options)

Yay! It's Friday!
This first card I made for this weeks Lawnscaping Challenge #11 Clean & Simple.
Stamps: Lawn Fawn Critters on the Farm & Critters in the Burbs (grass)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Jenni Bowlin Stick Candy & Seed Packet, Distress Ink Scattered Straw & Shabby Shutters
Paper: Papertry Ink Kraft
Other: DeNami Design Boutique Buttons Tangerine, Copics
The second card I have to share today is one of my favorites I have come up with. I was trying to think of a creative congrats card to submit to Paper Crafts Gallery Idol 2011. There are so many submissions so far I wanted to create a card that was a bit different. So I created a baby congrats card that is outside the typical baby card box. :)
I had to do some creative stamping to make the word "new" because that word is not in any Lawn Fawn sentiments (at least not any I own). This card also fits with this week's Wee Memories challenge because I definitely tried to "free my creativity" on this one! :)
Stamps: Lawn Fawn Critters on the Farm, Plus One & Critters in the Burbs (grass)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Jenni Bowlin Stick Candy & Seed Packet, Distress Ink Shabby Shutters & Tea Dye
Paper: Papertrey Ink Pure Poppy & Vintage Cream, October Afternoon Modern Homemaker paper pad
Other: Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream Button Twine, Copics, Corner Chomper, Martha Stewart Ebony Writing Pen
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you all have a Fabulous Friday and a great weekend. Who knows maybe I will get to post some more yummy stampy-ness over the weekend!
Love, Chari

These cards are both so adorable, but I am absolutely in LOVE with the second one! Chari, oh my gosh! It's so cute! I love every little thing about it and I would have never in a million years guessed that "new" was stamped "creatively." It absolutely looks like part of the sentiment.ReplyDelete
And the art gallery at your church sounds amazing! I always wanted to go to Ashville, NC because my favorite book series (the Mandie books) when I was growing up, were set in Ashville, NC. Maybe someday!

Dallas Cowboys
Rookie La'el Collins working at left guard this week
Last week, La'el Collins was a right tackle. This week, he's a left guard.
"Last week I worked majority right tackle," Collins said. "This week I'm working at left guard. Pretty much wherever my coach needs me on that day. Verstality is definitely there, and I look forward to it."
Collins, a first-round prospect who fell out of the draft and into the Cowboys' lap as an undrafted free agent, played only the left side during his LSU career. He played 13 games at left guard and 26 at left tackle in college.
He spent last week at right tackle, getting reps with Darrion Weems while Doug Free continues to rehab from off-season ankle surgery. This week, he is back home on the left side.
Collins split reps with left guard Ron Leary during Wednesday's OTA.
"Being in the left-handed stance is second nature to me, so it's easy to flip to the left-hand side," Collins said.
Collins' short-term future could be at left guard, competing with Leary for the starting job. His long-term future could be as Free's eventual replacement at right tackle.
"He's done a good job," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "He's played both tackle and guard for us, like we had talked about coming out. He's done some good things at tackle; he's done some good things at guard. He's learning. He's a young player, and he's four practices into his NFL career. He hasn't done a whole lot, and we do a lot in terms of installation every week. He's going to see a lot of different looks from the defense, so he, like a lot of young guys, they're trying their best to hang in there. But they're a long way off from where they need to be. He's working the right way, though."

You've got AirDrop, and that's pretty cool, but what if you're not a single OS household? You have a Mac, but your significant other has a PC. How is that ever going to work? What are you going to do, email files back and forth? Pshaw!
Well, you could do that, but it sure would create a lot of inbox clutter, or you could try Filedrop, a nifty little app that acts like AirDrop but works on Macs and PCs, allowing you to share files across platforms. There are even some forthcoming mobile apps to sweeten the deal. How reliable is sharing with Filedrop? Let's find out! (more…)

There's a lot shaking in the world of Texas earthquakes, so a new committee appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott to study what's moving beneath North Texas could be busy.
Last month, Abbott appointed nine people to serve on the Technical Advisory Committee to the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas in Austin as it spends about $4.5 million for a comprehensive study after a rash of earthquakes hit North Texas in recent years, the largest a 4.0-magnitude temblor near Venus and Mansfield last May.
Leading the group will be Robie Vaughn of Dallas, owner of Vaughn Capital. He is the co-founder and member of the Dallas Producers Club and a member of the Dallas Petroleum Club. Joining him are Scott Tinker, the state geologist for Texas and director of the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, and Craig Pearson, seismologist for the Texas Railroad Commission.
Other members include Brian Stump, a professor at Southern Methodist University who has studied the North Texas earthquakes; Dan Hill, a petroleum professor at Texas A&M University; Dana Jurick, a manager of seismic analysis for ConocoPhillips; Hal Macartney, a geoscience manager for Pioneer Natural Resources; and Kris Nygaard, a consultant for ExxonMobil Upstream Research.
Irving City Manager Chris Hillman, who works for a city that has endured more earthquakes than they'd like to recall, is the only non-seismologist, non-energy industry member of the committee.
Of the $4.5 million the committee oversees, $2.47 million is dedicated to buy equipment for the so-called TexNet system that will place 22 permanent seismograph stations and 36 portable stations around the state to measure seismic activity. The remaining $2 million goes to study the results.
According to a spokesman for the Bureau of Economic Geology, a contractor for the TexNet hardware has been selected, contract negotiations have been finalized, and the first installations are expected early this summer.
AARP surveys Fort Worth members
A recently released AARP survey of its Fort Worth members finds many saying the city is good place to live. About half, 49 percent, said they have lived in Fort Worth for more than 25 years.
But while the majority say Fort Worth as been good to them, job opportunities for older adults is a gap, AARP said. Respondents indicated that more is needed to improve job training, job flexibility and jobs adapted to needs of the disabled, AARP said.
The respondents also said healthcare facilities, safe streets and well-maintained properties and public spaces are the leading features making Fort Worth a livable city.
The survey, "Livability For All in Fort Worth," was done to help decision-makers craft policies to improve livability for all residents regardless of age or ability, AARP said.
"Community organizations and city leaders are working hard to craft a five-year plan that will set goals for Fort Worth to become an even greater place to live for people of all ages," said Carmel Perez Snyder, head of AARP Fort Worth.
More than 600 AARP members age 50-plus filled out the mail-in survey, the organization said. The survey covered such topics as health and wellness, transportation, house, job opportunities and social participation.

TAESL lease termination
American Airlines and Rolls Royce may pay Fort Worth a $2.2 million fee to terminate the lease at an engine-repair facility at Alliance Airport.
The City Council approved a resolution Tuesday allowing the city manager to negotiate an early lease termination agreement for the Texas Aero Engine Services Limited engine-repair facility at Alliance Airport. TAESL is a 50-50 joint venture between American and Rolls Royce that was created in 1998.
The resolution also directed the city manager to include a $2.2 million early lease-termination payment and conditions that TAESL remove all equipment and make any necessary repairs to the facility.
The companies decided to shut down the facility last fall, and the final repairs at TAESL were completed earlier this year. About 600 workers were affected and offered positions within American and Rolls Royce.
American spokesman Josh Freed confirmed that the Fort Worth-based carrier was in lease-termination negotiations with the city.
"TAESL is entering negotiations with the city for an early lease termination of the TAESL premises, targeted for September 2016," Freed said.
The lease was originally scheduled to run through 2025.
Van Zandt deed restriction
The Carlyle Group and Fort Worth-based Miles Foundation are seeking to remove a more- than-century-old deed restriction that prohibits alcohol sales on property off University Drive.
The two groups recently filed suit in state district court in Tarrant County against the unknown heirs of the stockholders of the K.M. Van Zandt Land Co., which dissolved in 1947.
The archaic covenants could jeopardize development plans, but it is unlikely.
Van Zandt, a Fort Worth pioneer, platted the near west-side property in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with most of it originally planned for residential use. Instead, West Seventh Street, University Drive and Camp Bowie Boulevard developed into major thoroughfares with commercial and industrial uses.
The Carlyle Group, based in Washington, D.C., is planning a hotel project between University Drive and Norwood Street at Crockett Street, and the Miles Foundation owns land that is likely being sold to Charleston, S.C.-based Greystar, which is planning an apartment community on adjacent property between Morton and Bledsoe streets.
Deed restrictions control the use of the property. They travel with the deed to succeeding buyers unless a new owner removes them through legal action. Many deeds in the Van Zandt additions have been successfully challenged.
Between 1945 and 1991, 17 judgments were awarded property owners invalidating the restrictions.
Recent examples include the So7 residential, hotel and retail project on the western edge of Trinity Park off West Seventh Street, across the street at the Montgomery Plaza development.
In a related matter, the City Council on Tuesday approved vacating alleys on the two blocks where the projects are planned.
A Carlyle Group spokesman did not return a phone call seeking comment on the project.

Subscribe To Krampus Off To Slow Start, Setting Up Weak Box Office Weekend Updates
I've already subscribed
Apparently, audiences aren't eager to have their Christmases ruined for them by Krampus, as the festive-horror-comedy made a pretty poor start to its box-office tenure on Thursday night. Krampus only grossed $637,000 over 2,137 theatres on its opening night, with preview screenings in the US starting at 7pm, which has left box office experts to predict that we're on course for a quiet few days.
Currently, Krampus, which comes from Universal and Legendary, is on course for an intake of between $11 million and $13 million (via Variety). The studios are hoping that it will manage to reach this sum once it's unleashed on 2,902 theatres across the country.
And while that's usually regarded as a low sum, the fact that Krampus only cost $15 million to produce means that it should be enough for the film to make a profit before moviegoers start trekking into cinemas to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens in just two weeks time.
Krampus is being released around the rest of the world either today or in the next two weeks. Some territories have decided to wait until January 1st for its release, while France has taken the bizarre step of waiting until May, 2016, to put it into cinemas.
This sum from the Adam Scott and Toni Collette led Krampus isn't expected to see it take top spot at the box office this week. In fact, it's thought that Creed, The Good Dinosaur, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 will each record higher numbers than Krampus.
The battle is currently on between Mockingjay 2 and The Good Dinosaur to finish top this weekend, with experts split over whether the Lionsgate or Pixar film will be victorious. Both of these films are on course to score between $23 - $21 million, which would leave Mockingjay 2 with somewhere in the region of $230 million after 17 days, while The Good Dinosaur will have around $85 million in 10 days. Both of which are good numbers that the studios will clink a glass to.
But why has it been such a slow week at the box office? Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is merely going to be the calm before the intergalactic storm that will come on December 18th when Star Wars: The Force Awakens is released.
Next week we have the release of Warner Bros.' In The Heart Of The Sea, which has been projected (via Pro Box Office) for an opening sum of $17 million. But other than that, most studios have paved the way for The Force Awakens to dominate. It's even believed that the seventh instalment to the beloved sci-fi space opera could smash Jurassic World's opening weekend worldwide haul of $500 million.
Until then, moviegoers are clearly saving up their pennies and popcorn in anticipation for the film, meaning that your local multiplex probably resembles something of a ghost town right about now.

Location: 208B
Date: Tuesday, February 5
Time: 3:15pm - 4:00pm
Track: 3D Printing Innovation Summit
Vault Recording: TBD
A new 3D printer technology using Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) has recently been developed to produce soft-elastomers of the highest capabilities through a process called Liquid Additive Manufacturing (LAM). LAM 3D printing techniques bring rapid prototyping to include fit, form, and now functional evaluation of printed "soft" part.
This session presents a validation study of 3D printed parts to that of the injection molded analog thus validating the LAM printer technology. The study is a side-by-side comparison of ASTM slabs three dimensionally printed both in X-Y and in X-Z print configuration to show the anisotropic qualities of LSR in bead-to-bead and layer-to-layer physical property performance. Comparisons of printed, compression molded, and injection molded LSR will be made to establish the analogous performance of printed versus molded.

"The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival." – Aristotle, philosopher
"I love both Lowell and Linus!"
Lydia was a slight, well dressed woman of forty who booked a consult and finally appeared after two subsequent changes in the times due to her busy schedule as a caterer. She had medium brown hair and matching eyes.
Lydia projected a nervous energy which some might find distracting but I suspect it enabled her to attend carefully to all the details of her successful business.
She was currently married to Lowell and had been for over ten years. They had no children which was a point of disconnect for her with him. As well, Lydia told me she had a lover, Linus who she met with whenever she got the chance to travel to New Brunswick for her work.
When I asked her how I could serve her, she replied,
"I love both Lowell and Linus! They know about each other and they each want me to commit to them exclusively. I don't know what to do!"
"I think, having two people wanting me is very empowering."
"Lydia, how long have you been maintaining these two relationships?" I asked.
"It's been over two years now! They are such different men…yet in some ways they are alike." she replied thoughtfully.
"What has been the best part of this situation for you?" I asked next, wondering what she wanted out of it.
She paused briefly and said hesitantly, "I have thought about that a lot lately. I think I never really felt attractive or that I would find someone to love me. I think, having two people wanting me is very empowering. It helps me feel good about me!"
"So, what is the down side that motivated you to come discuss it with me, Lydia?"
"Ken, I see the hurt and self doubt in both of their eyes at various times when I'm with each of them. It's becoming more evident all the time. So, I'm putting more pressure on myself to choose one or the other."
"It was rarely direct or blatant."
"You mentioned you experience a sense of personal power having two men who want your time. That would suggest you may have a relationship in your past where you felt powerless. Would that be true, Lydia?"
"What comes immediately to my mind is my father. He was a very traditional man who preferred his two sons to his one daughter. I think he saw them as more likely to take over the farm for him. And, so he deferred to them in most things." she said with a sad, somber look spreading over her face.
"How did you perceive he de-powered you as his only daughter?"
"It was rarely direct or blatant. But it showed in the little things, like the best cuts of meat at the dinner table to the best chairs in front of the television." she replied the hurt still strong.
"How did you cope?" I asked.
"I pretended to ignore it. But, I also left home the first chance I got. Right after high school I moved to the city and started my first business." she replied proudly.
"I guess your independence is pretty important to you then, eh?"
"Oh yeah! It is one of my most important values, Ken!" she replied with the energy and enthusiasm you might see when you call 'recess time' in a classroom of eight year olds.
"So, empowering yourself career wise is also an important part of who you are, Lydia. Is that true as well?"
"Right again, Ken! I do well with my business. We have a stable of loyal and high profile cliental that keep me and my staff busy." she said, the pride surfacing again.
"The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live" – Myles Munroe
"… not choosing one or the other reminds me, and reassures me, of my independence."
"It sounds like being an empowered, independent individual is core for you, eh?" I asked.
"Very much!" Lydia replied.
"How are those core values of independence and empowerment tied to having two men wanting to spend their future with you?"
Lydia paused looking down briefly in a very serious manner. She then raised her head with a look of insight erupting on her face, like the sun cracking the horizon at dawn,
"Of course! It's right there! It's been here all the time! I just didn't make the connection! Having two men wanting me makes me feel important…empowered! And, not choosing one or the other reminds me, and reassures me, of my independence. It is so obvious to me now!"
"Can you see this situation has enabled you to respect two of your highest values. So, there is no mistake in putting yourself into this situation. But it looks like some other values are challenging you to evolve it further. Do you see that Lydia?"
"Yes I do. But Ken, how do I move forward from here?"
"… it is usually a hundred or more!"
"It will require you to reorder your values in keeping with the rest of your evolution. That means deciding what values hierarchy you want and then adjusting your thinking and awareness to coincide with that order." I said.
"How do I do that?" Lydia asked.
"It is actually quite a simple process of stacking benefits or costs onto any value you want to move to a new place in your hierarchy."
"Would you give me an example?"
"Certainly! If you wanted to move your work career lower in your hierarchy and move your family higher, you would need to make an extensive list of the costs or disadvantages to you of work. Then you would make another extensive list of the benefits or advantages to you of family."
"So, if I make a list of the costs of my business career to me and then a list of the benefits to me of my family relationships, that would shift them in my hierarchy of values. Is that the general idea?"
"Yes, exactly. And, it has to be a detailed extensive list for you to be able to make the shifts stable." I added.
"How big a list are we talking about here?" Lydia asked.
"It depends on the individual. But, in my experience it is usually a hundred or more!"
"How do you know when your list is enough?"
"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life"
– Charles Darwin, scientist
"There is an energy, a feeling I get around kids!"
"You know by how you perceive your values hierarchy. Let me ask you a question about a topic which we haven't explored although you mentioned it earlier. You said you wanted to be a mother, but Lowell was not really interested. Is that also true of Linus?" I replied.
She seemed surprised by the question and hesitated briefly before responding,
"Ken, he's just the opposite. He loves kids and wants to be somebody's Dad."
"And, what about you? Where does being a mother fit on your values hierarchy?"
Lydia hesitated again. She looked down at her hands, her eyes glistening.
"I've always wanted to have children. My favourite catered event is a child's birthday party! I sometimes think to myself I could do them for free. There is an energy, a feeling I get around kids! It's just always been really special to me! I have a hard time putting it in words."
"It looks and sounds like it's really a high value of yours!"
"… being a parent with me will be hurting Linus,…"
"As I discuss it here, with you…out loud…I'm realizing I've been trying to stifle it for a long time. Maybe, that's what Linus is really about…me trying to honour one of my dreams?" she said, with a tone to her voice suggesting curiosity and wisdom.
"That sounds like you are leaning toward Linus in your future more than Lowell?" I offered.
Lydia looked at me again with that 'Ah ha!' look of hers.
"It really does, doesn't it? But, I don't want to hurt Lowell, he's a good guy!"
"If you decide to pursue having a child with Linus, can you see you will be inflecting a pile of hurt on him as a partner and parent?" I said with a smile, wondering if she would get the joke and the idea of balance at the same time.
Lydia gave me a strange, confused look before responding,
"Are you saying being my partner and being a parent with me will be hurting Linus, as well as, helping him? Are you also saying by leaving Lowell I will be helping him as well as hurting him? Is that what you mean, Ken?"
"I sure do!" I replied.
"Is this connected to my values hierarchy as well?" she asked as she integrated the ideas we were playing with.
"…you can't hurt someone without helping them at the same time to be more independent…"
"I think being a mother is one of your highest values. But you couldn't see a way to honour it with Lowell. So, you developed a relationship with Linus. But you hesitated to act on the new relationship for fear of hurting Lowell. How am I doing so far?" I asked to see if I was capturing her situation.
"Sounds bang on! So what am I missing here that you are implying but not really telling me yet, Ken?" she said, knowing there was more to this equation than she could see at the present moment.
"I think the part you haven't been noticing is that you can't hurt someone without helping them at the same time to be more independent. And, the reverse is also true. You can't help someone without hurting them at the same time by creating a dependency in them."
"You mean if I end my marriage with Lowell, it will hurt him and help him to be more independent. And, if I pursue a new relationship with Linus where we become parents it will hurt him by making him more dependent. Is that the point you're making?"
"… each man gets both pleasure and pain equally in different forms…"
"Yes, each man gets both pleasure and pain equally in different forms if you follow your value of becoming a parent. Because you haven't yet delineated the details of this natural law in your life, you are afraid to act decisively." I added.
"But how do I make that clear to me in my own head? I wouldn't even know where to start!" she said, her voice sad and confused.
"That's what I do! I can help you! Do you want to start right away, Lydia?"
"Yes, I do!"
Lydia started her journey to uncover the two sides of her becoming a mother for herself, her husband Lowell and her lover, Linus! She had to discover the two sides to divorcing Lowell. She also detailed the two sides of becoming a mother and its impact on all aspects of her life including her health, her business and her family relationships. She worked hard and did it all.
"The value of life can be measured by how many times your soul has been deeply stirred."
– Soichiro Honda, businessman
"… now I know this is all about me, my values, my dreams and my future!"
Once she had completed this work she sat down with Lowell and explained what she was doing and why. She helped him understand it wasn't about him and his values, it was about her and her values. She also had in depth discussions with Linus on the two sides of taking their relationship to the next level and what that would mean for each of them.
I worked with Lydia and Lowell together so they could both learn to be OK with the decision Lydia had made. It was tough going for Lowell at first. But, he soon realized that caring for Lydia meant letting her pursue her own dreams in her own way. And, near the end of his work, he said he was also relieved because he had sensed Lydia was not satisfied in their marriage and he thought it was his fault somehow.
Near the completion of Lydia's sessions, I asked her what was the most significant insight she had gained from this. She thought for a moment before saying,
"For a long time I thought this was about Lowell's values and then Linus's values. But, now I know this is all about me, my values, my dreams and my future! So, fortunately, I have had the two perfect men in my life for me to be me…I appreciate that now and them now!"
"Cool!" I said.
"The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely." – William Osler, scientist
Until Next time…

As you may have noticed, my blog posts and stories are back! I did some digging with my old host and had to get in contact with them to access their backups – which by some miracle hadn't been removed yet! Haha! They restored the files to my old FTP credentials, even though I had switched to a new host. It was very nice of them!
Here's what I had to do: I had to go into the old host's dashboard to link the restored WordPress installation up to a different domain. I had to fiddle manually in a WordPress php document to change the domain it all pointed to, which allowed the old blog temporarily back online under the different domain name. I could then access everything and export it again directly. And voila! Everything is back! The old host isn't even going to charge me for re-hosting a site temporarily. 1&1 has excellent customer service!
With this blessing in mind, I intend to get back into the habit of regularly posting a Fantasy Fridays entry again, but I'll stick with the once-a-month mantra for now. I'm sure I can keep up with that. I will eventually be bringing the polls back, as well. Once a month, I'll ask my fans which character they want to read more about, and hopefully we can then get a dialogue going on subject matter. So if you're curious about anything in particular, keep it in mind and maybe it'll be my next writing prompt. I'm a huge advocate for regular writing habits, so I suppose I better get settled back into some good habits myself.
Ahhh, I had missed these stories and their accompanying music.
Note to self: Make a gallery of the old Runebreathers webcomic and update the old posts that direct to them. I think you guys should be able to see them, even though we're not going to be continuing the comic!
See you soon!

LANCASTER, Pa. – The Franklin & Marshall volleyball team opened its 2013 season by taking a pair of matches on Friday evening at the Mayser Center, first sweeping Lycoming 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-20) before defeating Penn State-Berks 3-1 (25-12, 22-25, 25-9, 29-27).
Lycoming battled the Diplomats (2-0) in the opening set, keeping the score close at 18-16, before F&M took seven of the last 10 points to claim the 1-0 lead. The Diplomats jumped out to an early lead in set two, taking a 16-9 advantage midway through. The Warriors pulled within four at 24-20, but F&M captured the final point to take a commanding 2-0 lead.
The Diplomats found themselves in the hole by a score of 12-8 in the third before eventually taking the lead at 15-14. F&M never relinquished the advantage on its way to a 25-20 set win to cap off the sweep.
Julie Harvey paced the offense with 11 kills while Caroline Hubbard provided 29 assists. Hubbard was also sharp from behind the line, registering four aces. Ellie Ezekiel was solid on defense with 10 digs.
Against Penn State-Berks, the Diplomats cruised in the opening set, taking a 1-0 lead off of a 25-12 score. The Nittany Lions bounced back to even up the match by winning the second set 25-22.
Leading 7-3 in the third, F&M scored 13 unanswered to pull ahead by a commanding 20-3 margin. Penn State-Berks was unable to recover, as the Diplomats won the set 25-9 to take a 2-1 lead in the game.
In the fourth set, the Diplomats and the Nittany Lions traded the lead back and forth before F&M pulled ahead 18-16. Penn State-Berks took the next two points to tie the set before both squads traded points to once again knot the set at 25. The Diplomats took the advantage on a Katie Foreman kill but a service error on F&M once again evened the score.
After both teams traded service errors the Diplomats closed out the contest with back-to-back kills from Ezekial and Harvey.
Harvey led the way with 25 kills and a .657 hitting percentage, while Ezekiel added eight. Alyssa Sanchez tallied 22 digs on the night to pace the defense, while Hubbard tacked on seven.
F&M returns to the court tomorrow when it competes against Lancaster Bible at 10:00 a.m. followed by Elizabethtown at 12:00 p.m.

With the Giants coming to town this weekend, Texans fans will get their first look at the new tailgate rules, which severely limit the number of non-ticketholders allowed into the parking lots before the game.
The web has been lit up by complaints about it, or people supporting it (one posted to a message board, according to the guys at 1560 The Game, that he was tired of walking out of a game and "feeling like he was in Mexico," which is nice).
Anyway, last week's Cowboys games drew, as expected, the biggest tailgate crowd, one with the most potential for violence.

NIGHTVISION is a short film set after dark that will explore the prominent buildings, monuments, and landmarks across Europe from a purely visual perspective. Through motion timelapse, the viewer will be taken on a journey country to country, witnessing structures in a way they have never seen before.
Le Flâneur
Three years ago, while experimenting with image sequencing, I began to develop the technique I will be using to create NIGHTVISION. With my initial experiments using the technique I produced a short video called "Le Flâneur", which explores some of the prominent landmarks of Paris.
When I shared the short film on the internet, I was surprised to see the video gain momentum and quickly go viral. It was featured on National Geographic's travel blog, The Huffington Post, The Atlantic, Travel and Leisure, Fubiz, Gizmodo and hundreds of other sites and blogs. To this day, it is still receiving thousands of views! It was incredible to see something I had invested so much time and work into get this measure of recognition.
I would like now to take what I did a few years ago and bring it to the next level. 'Le Flâneur' was an experiment, and was the first time I had ever done anything like it. Since then, I have developed the technique extensively. My current project, NIGHTVISION, should prove to be much more impressive. Using all that I have learned, along with better equipment and software, I will be producing a video that is more precise and breathtaking. With greater thought put into the post-production, a more enticing rhythm and flow will result. Best of all, the video will encompass the entirety of Europe and not just one city - the viewer will journey around the continent in a matter of minutes.
Why at night?
I have made the decision to shoot the entire project after dark as the sequences at night posses aesthetic qualities that present the architecture from a more surreal and unfamiliar perspective. In addition, greater contrast exists between the sky and the structure, allowing the viewer to focus on the brilliance of the architecture more so than the passage of time. The absence of people around the structures late in the night provide the surreal atmosphere that allows the viewer to feel as though they have these well-known landmarks all to themselves.
Luke Shepard - Director
Henry Farrow Miller - Assistant Director
If this project is successfully funded, shooting will begin October 1st and end December 18th. The film is expected to be completed February 2013.
Where you come in
Due to the ambitious nature of this project, the budget is greater than it has been for any of my previous works. Over the past year, I have had opportunities to create my image sequences professionally. This has allowed me to save up a modest amount of money ($5000) to invest into NIGHTVISION, but it is not nearly enough. The minimum amount necessary to make this project possible is $17,000 in addition to my investment. These funds will help to pay for accommodations, additional equipment, two EuroRail passes, and compensation for the musician composing the music. The EuroRail pass is the most cost effective and flexible way for us to travel to the cities we need to shoot.
I would like to remind prospective donors that $17,000 is the minimum to make this project a possibility. The EuroRail pass covers much of Europe, but misses some key major cities. The pass allows us access to cities like Berlin, Amsterdam, Rome, Athens, Barcelona, Brussels, and Stockholm, but it keeps us from capturing major European cities like London, Dublin, Istanbul, and Moscow. If we are able to raise beyond our goal, we will incorporate more of the continent. In my opinion, these cities would be crucial to include to consider my project a true representation of Europe. Beyond these added shooting locations, additional funds could allow us to have a proper premiere for NIGHTVISION. My backup plan is to have the event take place in one of the spaces at my university, where I would be showing the film on a classroom projector. However, with some extra funding I could reserve a proper theatre to show my film on a high resolution cinematic projector. I plan on producing a version with 4k resolution, four times greater than regular 1080p HD. Reserving one of these theatres is my preferred way to do this format justice.
Please help make this project come to life. Every dollar counts. This project is innovative, modern, and unique. When the video premieres, you will feel good about your investment knowing you were a part of something great.

Thank you,
Luke Shepard

To Boldly Go Back Where No Man Has Gone Before
A few weeks ago, my blog compatriot Nuffy Noe informed me that the remastered and high-definition Star Trek: The Original Series is on Netflix. After turning cartwheels on the table (and to Nuffy's dismay, upsetting his bowl of Sopa del carnaval amargo del invierno), I settled down enough to finish the meal and realize I still had 9 hours to go before I could go home and watch an episode or twelve. Once I finally got in front of the home viewing screen, and after adding Vulcan ears and a blue shirt to my Wii avatar, I sat back in my Captain's chair and took in this new wonderment. Now, we get Netflix via our Wii, so I'm never completely certain that it's true high-definition. However,the episodes look so crisp and detailed, you could almost peel the base makeup off of Leonard Nimoy's face.*
I grew up in a world where television viewers were at the mercy of semi-intelligent, apelike programming executives, with a fondness for variety shows based on the meager talents of pop acts and wannabe vaudevillians. In addition, through my entire childhood, 12 channels was the norm, and three to six of those were mildly entertaining static (less if Sesame Street or the Electric Company were on). So, it's a little disconcerting to have every single Star Trek episode at your fingertips, as available and willing as the talking computer on the Enterprise.
The first time I pulled it up it took me thirty minutes to decide which episode to play (The Doomsday Machine, of course).**
Having a giant slice of geek heaven at your disposal isn't without some drawbacks though.
The first oddity I noticed was the new special effects. The Enterprise leans into orbits like a motorcycle racer taking a hairpin curve. You can almost imagine Chekov and Sulu on the bridge shouting, "Whee!" as they circle the planet. When Commodore Decker makes off with the shuttlecraft in "Doomsday," instead of steadily making it's way out of the bay as though it were on a slightly rusty special effects chain left over from Sky King, it does a little dip as it zips out ("And I thank you!"). In "Balance of Terror" when the Romulans fire their energy weapon, instead of being a menacing ghostly white, it's a friendly mix of magenta and red. Who knew the Romulans were employing interior decorators as their weapons designers?***
It's not that the special effects are bad. They're actually pretty decent, especially compared to say, the average Nickelodeon sci-fi program (very low bar, I know). What's peculiar is that they haven't remastered all of the special effects. So, in one scene you get a fantastic shot of a highly detailed USS Enterprise fishtailing into orbit around a magnificent ringed planet, and in the next one you get one of the Enterprise's computer screen, displaying 23rd Century technology in all it's NBC, pre-Atari 2600 glory. You'd think they could at least CGI some decent videos into the various monitors on the bridge, instead of leftover photos from the last International Astronomers Union kegger.
Then there's the music and sound. It's way to easy to recognize what's new, because like everything else in our day and age, the producers determined that they could subtly improve the quality of those elements of the program by making them 10 times louder. In episodes with remastered title sequences, the swish of the Enterprise going by sounds like Bruce Lee whiffing on a roundhouse kick in one of his early Hong Kong action flicks. In season two and after, the title theme replaces the thrilling and mysterious sound of a small, balanced chorus of women with an obnoxious diva singing the familiar melody as though she were trying to break a wine glass with her voice.
Then there's the sheer detail of the images now. Because Star Trek was originally shot on film (35mm, if I'm not mistaken) there was always the prospect of releasing it in high definition. Now, viewers can see the ship, consoles, equipment, and colorful alien makeup with frightening clarity. The initial reaction: "Could they have toned down the green rouge on Spock, just a little? He looks like Herman Munster's kid brother!" Also, it's now apparent that what seemed to be complex electronic control panels were more likely rejected versions of Bally pinball consoles.
It's really a case of CGI in the wrong places. Instead of a souped up Enterprise, with everything but the Jaguar on the hood, we wouldn't mind seeing a few guide wires and glue lines on the models. That's the kind of nostalgia that fits a sci-fi series containing strained Vietnam analogies and planets with Nazis and gangsters perfectly. But that makeup? They should have spent their whole SFX budget there. They should have left the audio alone, period.****
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to decide whether to watch Kirk split into a good and evil version, watch him exchange psyches with a woman, or watch him turn into a false Native American deity in space. So many choices!
* Alternate joke - You can almost count the straps on William Shatner's girdle.
** I had exactly the same response to Monty Python's Flying Circus, only funnier.
*** Now if only they'd let them work on the actual Romulan interiors.
**** With one exception: the episode where the ancient Vulcan hero yells, "Spock!" as he's being tortured. Some reverb would make that perfect.
Labels: colorful Romulan energy, Herman Munster's kid brother, high-definition, Netflix, Spock's mascara, Star Trek, The original series

Soviet tanks roll into Afghanistan 1979
On December 24, 1979, the Soviet Union invades Afghanistan, under the pretext of upholding the Soviet-Afghan Friendship Treaty of 1978.
As midnight approached, the Soviets organized a massive military airlift into Kabul, involving an estimated 280 transport aircraft and three divisions of almost 8,500 men each. Within a few days, the Soviets had secured Kabul, deploying a special assault unit against Tajberg Palace. Elements of the Afghan army loyal to Hafizullah Amin put up a fierce, but brief resistance.
On December 27, Babrak Karmal, exiled leader of the Parcham faction of the Marxist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), was installed as Afghanistan's new head of government. And Soviet ground forces entered Afghanistan from the north.
The Soviets, however, were met with fierce resistance when they ventured out of their strongholds into the countryside. Resistance fighters, called mujahidin, saw the Christian or atheist Soviets controlling Afghanistan as a defilement of Islam as well as of their traditional culture. Proclaiming a "jihad"(holy war), they gained the support of the Islamic world.
The mujahidin employed guerrilla tactics against the Soviets. They would attack or raid quickly, then disappear into the mountains, causing great destruction without pitched battles. The fighters used whatever weapons they could grab from the Soviets or were given by the United States.
The tide of the war turned with the 1987 introduction of U.S. shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles. The Stingers allowed the mujahidin to shoot down Soviet planes and helicopters on a regular basis.
New Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev decided it was time to get out. Demoralized and with no victory in sight, Soviet forces started withdrawing in 1988. The last Soviet soldier crossed back across the border on February 15, 1989.
It was the first Soviet military expedition beyond the Eastern bloc since World War II and marked the end of a period of improving relations (known as détente) in the Cold War. Subsequently, the SALT II arms treaty was shelved and the U.S. began to re-arm.
Fifteen thousand Soviet soldiers were killed.
The long-term impact of the invasion and subsequent war was profound. First, the Soviets never recovered from the public relations and financial losses, which significantly contributed to the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991. Secondly, the war created a breeding ground for terrorism and the rise of Osama bin Laden.
