I'm not sure when Cientifica moved its business focus from a consultancy on emerging technologies as per my Aug. 9, 2013 posting highlighting a then recent report,; scroll down 1/2 way,
Cientifica (a business consultancy focusing on emerging technologies) has released its Graphene Opportunity Report, from the report's webpage (Note: Links have been removed),
A decade ago when we published the first edition of the Nanotechnology Opportunity Report, there were predictions of untold riches for early investors, the replacement of all manufacturing as we know it, and the mythical trillion-dollar market.
Cientifica went against the grain by predicting that it would be hard for anyone to make money from nanomaterials, and that the real value would be in the applications.
Cientifica's latest news release (June 13, 2014) announces an agreement with Perpetuus Carbon Group and a commitment to commercialize applications for graphene,
13 June 2014
Cientifica PLC
("Cientifica" or the "Company")
Development Agreement with Perpetuus Carbon Group
Cientifica PLC, the AIM listed company focused on applications of graphene, has entered into a collaboration with Perpetuus Carbon Group ("Perpetuus"), a world leader in the production of nano surface modified graphenes.
Cientifica is focusing on investment in a number of specific areas ranging from energy efficiency to health, with the aim of bringing a number of significant applications enabled by graphene to market in the near term.
The objective of the collaboration is to bring together technology, market demand and finance, with a view to placing the UK at the forefront of the commercialisation of graphene. It also creates an integrated value chain spanning graphene production to consumer and industrial applications.
Perpetuus will provide technical support to Cientifica's planned product development with the aim of reducing the time to market by combining the technical and market expertise of both companies. A number of graphene-enabled products, including infrared heating technology will be on display at the 2nd Annual Graphene Supply, Application and Commercialisation Conference in Manchester, 13 June 2014.
The patented infrared heating technology on display, involving flat panel heaters makes use of graphene to emit infrared light at wave-lengths precisely tailored for maximum comfort and minimum energy use. The graphene enabled technology allows users to maintain the same levels of comfort, whilst using up to 70% less energy than conventional heaters.
Perpetuus supplies graphenes that have been produced in a dry, environmentally friendly manner, unlike many other graphene suppliers who use acids and surfactants, which leaves behind toxic by-products. Perpetuus' proprietary technology allows it to populate a variety of chemical groups onto and within the nano structure of graphenes to a customer's precise specification and deliver in kilos and tonnes.
Tim Harper, CEO of Cientifica PLC, explained: "We are focused on a number of specific areas and have identified a number of graphene-enabled applications where, as products move from prototype to market we need a partner that can supply us and our future partners material in a ready for use form, and in significant quantities to meet customer demand. We needed to find a company that can supply tonnes rather than grams per week, of consistent quality materials at competitive prices.
"By partnering with Perpetuus we believe we will be able to quickly incorporate the appropriate functionalised graphene material into our future products which we believe will allow us to significantly bring forward the launch of a number of products."
Ian Walters of Perpetuus commented: "Many of the proposed applications of graphene are long term, and taking products to market over such long timescales can be challenging. Cientifica's focus on identifying near term real-world applications of graphene, backed with intellectual property will help to create a quickly expanding market for Perpetuus' applications and products."
Further announcements will be made in due course.
There is additional information about both companies in the 'About" section of the news release,
About Cientifica
Cientifica PLC is an AIM listed company that is focused on acquiring and building businesses making use of emerging technologies and advanced materials such as graphene. [emphasis mine] These are typically businesses at an early stage where the technology has been proven but not scaled up to meet market demand.
Emerging technologies are ones that:
Arise from new knowledge, or the innovative application of existing knowledge;
Lead to the rapid development of new capabilities;Â
Are projected to have significant systemic and long-lasting economic, social and political impacts;
Create new opportunities for and challenges to addressing global issues; andÂ
Have the potential to disrupt or create entire industries.Â
About Perpetuus
For any company to be successful in the commercialisation of graphene materials they need to offer ALL the following features to a customer:–
Functionalisation by implanting a variety of chemical groups onto and within graphenes to nano surface modify graphene, to a customer's specification.
Consistent high quality graphemes.Â
Commercial quantities.Â
Competitive pricing.Â
Immediate availability in kilos and quick delivery of tonnes rather than grams.Â
An environmentally friendly production process (this will become more relevant as the industry expands).
Environmental impact studies and life cycle analysis on all outputs and byproducts.Â
Comprehensive and reliable characterisation data.Â
Manageable, transportable, user friendly.Â
Presented in stacks. (Graphenes as single layers are invisible and cannot be packaged or handled).
Perpetuus offers all the above to its customers.
Perpetuus, a British company, is not aware of any other business in the world which can offer the full range of these goods and services to its customers.
About Graphene
Graphene is pure carbon in the form of a very thin, nearly transparent sheet, one atom thick. It is remarkably strong for its very low weight (100 times stronger than steel) and it conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency. It can be produced by separating atomic layers of graphite or by depositing graphene directly onto a substrate from a vapour.
The AIM listing mentioned in the Cientifica news release refers to the London Stock Exchange. From the AIM webpage on the London Stock Exchanged website,
AIM is the most successful growth market in the world. Since its launch in 1995, over 3,000 companies from across the globe have chosen to join AIM. Powering the companies of tomorrow, AIM continues to help smaller and growing companies raise the capital they need for expansion.
You can find the Cientifica website here.
A H/T to a June 13, 2014 news item written from the Perpetuus perspective on Azom.com for leading me to the company's website, more or less. (I'm finding the search algorithms being used by Google, Yahoo, and others verge on the useless these days. ) Getting back to the Perpetuus Carbon Group, I've not been able to find that website but Pertpetuus Carbon Technologies can be found here. You can find out more about the 2nd Annual Graphene Supply Application and Commercialisation Conference here. (it's mentioned in the news release).
Finally, good luck to Cientifica and Perpetuus on their new venture.

NEW YORK (AP) – People magazine has named Adam Levine the "sexiest man alive" of 2013.
The 34-year-old is the lead singer of the group Maroon 5 and a judge on NBC's "The Voice."
The magazine made the announcement Tuesday.
Levine is not romantically available. He got engaged to Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo (bay-AHT'-ee PRINS'-lo) earlier this year.
In a 2012 interview with The Associated Press, the musician described himself as "nerdy" in high school but admitted he "did OK" with girls.
Levine takes the "sexiest" crown from actor Channing Tatum. He joins the ranks of Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, who all have received the honor.
The annual "sexiest man alive" issue of People magazine hits newsstands on Friday.

Recruiting Advice – Early Testing Is Better
If your child is considering a college with standardized testing requirements, have them take the test(s) as soon as possible. Scholarship offers can come at the beginning of a high school student's senior year, if not sooner.
Coaches like to know that their choice recruits can pass admission standards; if your child has already passed the required tests, coaches might be more likely to go ahead and extend an offer.

Students from two east metro school district fine-tuned their tech skills during spring break camp in Maplewood.
Daniel Marquez, Kieran McCloy and Aidan Flick built the tallest structure using marshmallows and dried spaghetti on the first day of Teen Tech Camp.
Photo: Photos by Callie Sacarelos • firstname.lastname@example.com,
Aidan and Megan Flick could have spent their spring break hanging out at the mall, catching a movie or spending time with friends at a coffee shop. Or maybe they could have whiled away the week by zoning out in front of a computer or TV screen.
But this year, the Flick sisters decided to turn techie. Instead of playing video games, they learned how to make them. Instead of listening to music, they actually composed songs. They also built battling toothbrush robots and took apart a computer tower, just for kicks.
The Flicks were among 21 students from the east metro who gathered at the Ramsey County Library in Maplewood earlier this month for the annual Teen Tech Camp, a two-day tech workshop where students in grades 6-12 could hone their tech skills and have a little fun, too.
Teen Tech Camp, now in its third year, is a collaboration between the library and the Educational Equity Alliance, which is a collaborative program between the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale and Mahtomedi school districts. It is geared toward students who are interested in technology programs and exposes them to possible career ideas they might not learn about in school.
"Everybody is so focused on sports these days," said Scott Galeazzi, a parent from Mahtomedi. "It's nice to see these kinds of programs that get kids educated in technology."
Amy Boese, a teen services librarian and the program director, said the library is a "third space" outside of the home and school where students can feel like they belong to a community.
"We want them to see that the library is not just books," Boese said. "It's a place where they can interact with each other and exchange ideas."
The tech camp's seemingly simple activities are geared to teaching engineering skills, computer programing and website creation that Boese said gives the students the ability to become digital entrepreneurs.
Work stations
Kieran McCloy, a Mahtomedi High School junior, took on a leadership role at the camp by using his technology experience to help other students at the different work stations.
McCloy said he grew up learning how to fix electronics by watching his dad, who works with commercial audio systems.
"I think it's great that I get to interact with other students who don't have as much experience as I do," Kieran said. "It forces me to slow down and figure out how to explain things in a different way."
Ken Meyer, a 3M senior research engineer and volunteer, taught the students about electrical circuits by creating simple robots with a toothbrush head, a small battery and wiring.
"It's important to get used to how electronics work," Meyer said. "If you can understand this little toothbrush robot, then you can understand simple cellphone fixes that so many people don't know."
Aidan, a Mahtomedi Middle School student and aspiring biochemical engineer, attended the camp last year and enjoyed it so much she talked her sister into going with her this time around. This year, they got to use an iPad for the first time while composing songs with the Garageband app.
"The different activities expose you to more ideas and let you know what else you can do," Aidan said.
The sisters were excited to take apart the computers, although they didn't quite figure out how to put them back together.

Prophetic Intelligence Briefings
Benedict XVI Refuses to do Interfaith Prayers · November 01, 2011
On the 25th anniversary of the first daylong prayer for peace in the town of Assisi, Italy, Pope Benedict XVI presided over 300 religious leaders representing a "rainbow of faiths."
"But unlike the 1986 event and successive ones in 1993 and 2002, there was no time given for any type of communal prayer. Benedict had objected to the 1986 event and didn't attend because he disapproved of members of different faiths praying in the presence of one another."
Benedict opposes "religious relativism," or religious pluralism, hence his version of the day of prayer did not give the appearance of combining different beliefs and practices.
Being the consummate Catholic theologian, Benedict XVI teaches and defends the idea that there is only one true religion, the Roman Catholic faith and that all others are illegitimate.
Benedict said that "nations are still full of discord and that religion is now frequently being used to justify violence," which is often religiously motivated. But he said that it was wrong however, to "demand that faith disappear from daily life to somehow rid the world of a religious pretext for violence. He argued that the absence of God from people's daily lives was even more dangerous, since it deprived men and women of any moral criteria to judge their actions."
The Pope's "removal of any communal prayer time — other than grace at the start and end of lunch — struck some as overkill. But the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and one of the first speakers at the peace meeting, said the delegates weren't gathered there to come to a 'minimum common ground of belief.' Rather, he said, the meeting would show the world that… different faiths provide the wisdom to draw upon in the struggle for peace."
Everything from Nigeria's Yoruba religion, to Buddhism, Shinto and Hindu religions, to Greek, Russian, Serbian and Belarusian Orthodox churches, were present, plus Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Jewish and Muslims. In addition there were Taoists, Jains and even a Zoroastrian in attendance.
"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him." Revelation 13:8.

Very prompt delivery. Shipped 10 nov recieved 12 nov could not believe it. Dress is beautiful a bit big at the top, glad to revieve it so quick.
Jan 20, 2013
To be honest I was very nervous about ordering a dress online, but I had no reason to worry, It looks amazing! It looks even better in person than online, it fits great, a little bit big, but nothing unexpected. A very easy alteration, which you would have had done on a dress you bought in the store anyway. The quality of the materials and workmanship are beautiful. I cannot wait to wear this for our dessert party and home reception!
Jan 17, 2013
I love the dress I ordered! Also, I was disappointed to see that the burgundy was not as dark as your website advertised. Aside from that I absolutely love the dress! it is very beautiful and fit nicely. The customer service was very helpful and kind. Great job! Thank you for all your help!
Jan 13, 2013
I received my item on time! I love the dress, it fit perfectly, and can't wait to wear it on my big day! It's truly unique.
Jan 13, 2013
This is a beautiful dress. However I didn't measure myself for the size and bought it a size too small. I was unable to exchange it for the larger size because they said it was made/ordered to fit. So now I have to spend $150 to tailor it. Make sure you measure yourself. Otherwise the dress is beautiful.
Hello I'm very increased in your Princess long satin embroidered halter v-neck wedding dress. I'm a little confused on changing the color if I change the belt color to black does that change the trim and the slit in the back black to?

What is dementia?
Dementia describes a long-term, usually irreversible condition involving gradual degeneration in brain function. The brain functions affected depend upon the type of dementia. For instance, in dementia from Alzheimer's disease, memory loss is usually a significant feature while in other types of dementia, language or emotional problems can be the significant deficit. Many dementias involve multiple areas of brain function.
What is Alzheimer's disease and how is it different from normal aging?
Alzheimer's disease is an abnormal loss of function from certain areas of the brain that progressively worsens. The definite diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can only be made in an autopsy by pathologists trained to find certain abnormal structures in the patient's brain.
In normal aging, some mild and progressive memory loss and minor deficits in other types of brain function, such as intellectual response time slowing, can occur. If these losses do not affect a person's level of personal and social function, then they are not considered abnormal.
However, in Alzheimer's disease, a distinct pattern of dysfunction arises, which involves short-term memory loss, as well as language and visuospatial deficits and leads to loss of personal and social function. Alzheimer's disease patients eventually cannot perform Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) or Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADLs).
What is a typical visit to the Penn Memory Center like?
There are two major types of visits to the Penn Memory Center (PMC), a new visit and a follow-up visit.
During a new visit to the PMC, the patient and the patient's caregivers will be seen by a number of different health care professionals. A typical new visit might begin with an intake interview by a social worker or other professional. Following that a nurse might interview the caregiver and patient followed by psychometric testing of the patient. Once the psychometric tests are completed, a physician will usually also interview the caregiver and patient and then perform a physical examination of the patient. Depending on the results of the psychometric tests and the health care professionals other findings, the health care team might recommend further tests, the involvement of other health care professionals and follow-up visits.
Follow-up visits typically take less time and are used to assess changes in the patient and caregiver since the last visit or to perform tests that were not completed in the initial visit. Follow-up visits might involve the entire team or just a few members depending on the goal of the visit.
If someone in my family has Alzheimer's disease, does that mean I will get it as well?
No. Although there is an inherited component factor to Alzheimer's disease, which increases your risk for getting Alzheimer's disease if others in your family have it, many people who have the disease in their family do not get it themselves. Scientists do not yet know what causes the disease or exactly which factors in a person's life lead to getting the disease. Additionally, elderly people are sometimes labeled with Alzheimer's disease even when it is not confirmed, so you may think it is in your family, when it is not.
Is there a cure for Alzheimer's disease?
Not currently. A good deal of research time and money is being spent to investigate various treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
I've heard about ginko biloba supplements as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Is there any evidence that this treatment is effective?
A study in 1997 showed a slight slowing of cognitive decline in some patients with mild to moderately severe dementia. There is no evidence that ginko biloba can cure or prevent Alzheimer's disease. There are possible side effects to ginko biloba such as excessive bleeding especially when used with aspirin. You should consult your doctor before trying ginko biloba for yourself or someone you care for. Also note that ginko biloba supplements, like other dietary and herbal supplements are not standardized, which means that you do not know how much of the extract you are actually getting in each pill or capsule.
Other studies of ginko biloba are currently on-going.
I've heard about Vitamin E as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Is there any evidence that this treatment is effective?
Studies have shown that Vitamin E ( An essential vitamin that may help delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease, found naturally in nuts and oils, but only in small amounts. Vitamin supplements may be necessary in order to receive beneficial amounts. ) can slow cognitive decline in some patients with moderately severe dementia. There is no evidence that Vitamin E can cure or prevent Alzheimer's disease. You should consult your doctor before trying Vitamin E for yourself or someone you care for.
What is the usual treatment for Alzheimer's disease?
Anticholinesterase drugs, such as donepezil (Aricept) and rivastigmine (Exelon), are usually used to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the FDA recently approved a new drug, memantine (Namenda), for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. A doctor might also recommend Vitamin E . Various behavior management treatments are used depending on the types of behavioral symptoms a patient displays. As the disease progresses other symptoms are treated as they occur. Attention to the difficulties and rigors of caregiving are usually included in a patient's treatment plan, since the caregiver's health is just as important to maintain.
What is the goal of treatment for Alzheimer's disease?
Currently, attention to the patient's and caregiver's quality of life are central to Alzheimer's disease treatment. Since there is no cure, one goal might be to slow the progression of the disease. Keeping a patient happy and comfortable might be another. As mentioned above, the caregiver's health is also of primary importance.
Where can I go for help in taking care of a person with Alzheimer's disease?
Your local Alzheimer's Disease Clinic is good place to start. Also contact the Alzheimer's Association chapter in your area. Geriatricians, psychiatrists and neurologists are all physicians who have special training regarding Alzheimer's disease.
I am taking care of person with Alzheimer's disease. Will this person eventually need to be in a nursing home?
It is not necessarily true that all Alzheimer's disease patients eventually need to enter nursing homes. There are many factors involved in making the decision to put a patient in a nursing home. The rate of progression of disease, the resources available to the caregiver(s), other health issues that the patient may have, and the original wishes of the patient should all be considered when making such decisions.
What are the options for long term care of Alzheimer's disease patients?
There are many long term care services available for Alzheimer's disease patients and their caregivers including in-home aides, adult day care, assisted living facilities, nursing homes and at the end of life, hospice care. As mentioned above when considering among these options, many different factors should be carefully considered by the patient's family, caregivers, and health care team.
What is hospice care?
Hospice care is care for patients for whom the focus of their condition as been changed from curative to palliative. This means that the patient's caregivers are concerned first and foremost with increasing the patient's quality of life and comfort. Physical, mental and emotional pain are addressed and efforts are made to reduce all of these types of pain to a minimum. Hospice care can take place in the home or in a special hospice unit within an institution. For more on hospice check out the Hospice Foundation .
What other diseases cause dementia besides Alzheimer's disease?
Although 60-80% of dementia is caused by Alzheimer's disease, there are other diseases that cause dementia.
Frontal dementia causes approximately 10% of dementia and usually occurs at ages 60 to 70. Frontal dementia often begins with personality, behavior, or language changes followed by memory changes. This is the opposite of the usual course for Alzheimer's disease.
Dementia with Lewy bodies causes approximately 10% of dementia and usually occurs between ages 60 to 80. Dementia with Lewy Bodies has symptoms similar to Alzheimer's disease, but often also includes delusions and delirium early in the disease.
Ischemic vascular dementia causes approximately 5% of dementia and can occur at any age since it is a disease associated with stroke. If a portion of the brain important to cognition is deprived of blood flow (ischemia), symptoms of dementia can follow the insult.
Depression causes approximately 10-20% of dementia and can occur at any age. The symptoms are similar to Alzheimer's disease but often the patient's complaints of memory loss are in excess of memory loss measured objectively. A positive response to antidepressant therapy is a clue that depression may be the dementia's cause.
Other diseases that cause dementia are Huntington's disease, Jacob-Creutzfeld disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Parkinson's disease, and Cortico-basilar degeneration. Most of these diseases have a more rapid progressive nature.

On the intersection of Kinderkamack Rd and Lincoln Ave, the crosswalk that consists of flat brick has come undone and has been this way for quite some time.

I've been to many doctors who find it hard to believe I am still suffering from extreme side effects from Depo Provera, the birth control injection. I got the shot mid December, and since then my life has been reduced to the confines of my own home. I used to exercise 6-7 days a week and lived on my own. I had a personal trainer and a strict diet. My symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, tight, knotted and stiff muscles, constipation, etc. have taken away my freedom, independence, and will to live. I have been on the brink of suicide from the hopelessness. No doctor can help me in alleviating symptoms or determining when I will feel normal again. Does anyone, from personal experience or knowledge have any advice or answers? I desperately want my old life back, when I had all the energy and confidence in the world. I am 18, feel like I'm 80, and have not been able to enjoy life. I am 100% sure the symptoms are solely from the shot, as I had no side effects or health problems, not the slightest complaint prior to getting the injection.
How long do Depo side effects last?

I stopped it four months ago. One and only one shot did I get. Thank god you're doing great on it.
my daughter is 18 years of she had the shot one time she is like you she is a total different person it happened right after the shot and it has been a long time since she had it.she feels the same way she wants her old life back.i have ask about hormone test to be done to see if it missed them up.before she was so sweet and loved everyone.she has changed the first week after the shot we are like you wanting to know what to do to fix this get her old life back
I just got the depo shot last week i have never been on any bc before then... i started feeling extrem nauseated 5days afta the shot&hve had dizzy spells&fatigue i dnt like the way i feel i pray that the systoms get better but i will never get the depo shot again I'll just rather get my tubes tied.
I only took 1 shot of depo. the first month was ok, mood swings. laziness. but my sex drive was really down. the second month was worst. I had a very much higher level of mood swings. sadness and depression. and that resulted i believed why my boyfriend and i broke up. and till now i still get spotting. it has been 4 months that I'm off of it. but still get spotting. red-brown. mostly when I pee. will never ever take depo again. ever.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with the issues you're having. Especially being as young as you are. I personally have never gotten the depo shot because of the issues a friend of mine had but my daughter just got her 1st one and has had a headache and stomach cramps for going on 2 days now. Dr's don't know EVERYTHING. I would stop getting the shot and switch BC. I'm sure it'll take time to get out of your system. I have taken so many different birth controls (except depo) and think the Mirena IUD is the way to go. My "bitch switch" has been deactivated. ;) I would suggest taking it a day at a time and treat the symptoms you have each day. I'm positive that the more time that passes the better you'll feel. If you haven't gotten better in another couple of weeks, go to the Dr and make them HEAR you. Not listen, but HEAR. Drs are very busy people and deal with a lot of patients every day.
Make sure the Dr is spending time looking over YOUR info and ask lots of questions. Do you take any other medications/vitamins? Legal or illegal drugs? If so, don't be afraid to tell your Dr. They have to keep it confidential, by law. The Dr may be overlooking something due to just not knowin the "specifics" of your life. I pray all is well soon for you. Keep me posted on your progress please. I'd like to know how you're health is progressing. Thx (my Facebook is Celeste Townley Devall) like I said earlier though, if I were you... I'd get off of the shot and change BC. This just may not be the 1 for you.

The UV filter, also known as a haze filter, is not only an excellent universal filter for visually improving photographs with all film types, but it can always stay on the lens for protection from dust, fingerprints, moisture, etc. and for use under extreme conditions It absorbs the short wave portion of the spectrum so under hazy conditions a clearer reproduction of the scene is possible. The loss of sharpness caused by UV rays and the bluish tones common in infinity scenes are eliminated with the colorless UV filter. An exposure correction is not required.

Catholic Funeral - Rosary and Viewing

Tonight I attended a Rosary following the viewing. Tomorrow will be the funeral followed by the burial and then a reception.
It was quite interesting and very different from JW funerals. It was held at the funeral home. The viewing was open casket. The rosary is a series of prayers led by a Priest. Then a little time inviting anyone to come up and speak about the deceased. All the time the casket was open. It was not sad at all. Actually quite uplifting. Anyone was invited to get up and say something if they wished. (My husband did. He has known this person since childhood.)
Tomorrow will be the church funeral. That should be interesting as well.

Sorry for your loss.
I went to my first non-jw funeral in 1998. I was amazed at how incredibly personal it was. The entire event was focused on the deceased.
Really respectful, loving, sincere, life-affirming.
Some people had pre-arranged (and announced) readings or speaches. Others were invited to say a few words if they desired.
Such a different experience from any that have ever been held at a Kingdom Hall or conducted by a JW elder.

I went to my first Cathollic memorial for a family friend a while back..I even posted about it ..
One thing I can say about it..it was long...and I never saw so many what I called rituals..and what seemed like chanting..actually they were just saying amen or repeating what the priest said ( a lot) ..then they would stand up then they would sit down..then they would stand up and pray..then they would kneel and pray....then they went to the front and some partook of the bread and wine..some didn't.
they also had family and friends get up and say something about him..
The priest told a joke that the decease had told him while playing golf together..
It was quite interesting..he was cremated so they decided to do the memorial in the church..he also donated his body to a medical college here in Missouri..so there was no body. Afterwards we were invited to the basement for refreshments..it was very nice. I got to meet a lot of nice people.
If I can find the link I will come back and post it here..

I attended a Catholic funeral several years ago at the church. It was my first non-JW funeral. I was fascinated. From the time I entered, it was different. From the outside, the building seems rather plain. But inside, it seemed so full of religion. It was so unlike the boring sterile Kingdom Halls I went to. There were statues, paintings, and stained glass. So full of tradition and like Snoozy said, so full of ritual.
As the first time seeing it, I was fascinated, like an anthropologist observing a tribal ritual in a rain forest village. And some parts didn't seem too different. There was one part where they let some sort of smoking cup swing above the coffin. It was like it was some magic potion they were waving over the deceased to scare away evil spirits. Maybe that's exactly what it was.
I think as a first time experience, it was great. If I had to see it all the time and understood it, I'd think it's a bunch of naseating BS.
Unlike the JWs, they did talk about the diseased and I found myself so much more connected to the person than I was before (he was only a guy I kind-of knew from work). It was uplifting.
I also attended a Baptist funeral. That's a whole different experience. It was at a large Baptist church with the jumbotrons in various places and the organs and just the right amount of comfort to put you in that state of awe for brainwashing. Overall, the church seemed kind of sterile too. Except for the cross and the stained glass, it could have been a performing arts theater. It had a more commonly understandable format. They talked about the deceased, about heaven, prayed, etc. People came up and said things. It was a happy medium between the sales-pitch JW funeral and the rituals that only a Catholic would understand.

"The smoking cup swing above the coffin." I'm a Catholic, so it's funny for me to hear it described that way.
It's called a censer or thurible. A piece of coal is placed in the censer and then incense is put on it, which make all that smoke.
It is used to symbolize prayer rising to God (Ps. 141:2 and Rev. 8:33-5) for the person who has died.

OMG White dove..no I meant he was donated to a medical college..I must have had my deceased hubby in my subconscious mind talking about funerals.. He was cremated..I can see me doing that because he was on my mind so much when I watched this womans husband slowly die..a sad time. We hugged and cried together for our losses...

I've attended Catholic weddings and many Catholic funerals including a couple that were High Masses at the Cathedral in Sioux Falls. As far as religious services, Catholic is my favorite. I'm extremely appreciative of my Catholic friends.

I come from the other direction. I was raised by Catholic step father and all his for generations Catholic family(nice people)but I was never a Catholic.I attended all the weddings(wow great parties)and funerals so they were just normal to me. My first JW memorial was a few months ago a lady I knew died suddenly at 57 and I was amazed it wasn't even about her and no one cried and I came away feeling empty and sadder than when I went.No comfort in it at all and that started by thinking about what was I doing studying to be a JW and then I found this site and woke up.
Yes lots of ritual in anything Catholic but at least they talk about the person who died and their life etc and don't try to convert anyone at the funeral service.

One-off Maserati 150 GT Spider to cross the block
Photos by Mathieu Heurtault.
Exactly what to call this Fantuzzi-bodied Maserati is a rather difficult task, which is probably why its complete provenance hasn't been known for most of its 58 years. Only over the last few years did its owner piece together the story of how a factory works racing Maserati became a prototype and then coachbuilt one-off road car, and now the Maserati known as the 150 GT Spider will cross the block at Gooding's sale in Scottsdale.
According to David Brynan, a specialist with Gooding and Company, the 150 GT Spider started out as an A6GCS/53, one of 52 such cars fitted with a double overhead-camshaft 170hp 2.0-liter straight-six engine that Maserati built from 1953 to 1955, and one of a handful that Maserati's own works team raced during 1954. (Gooding has yet to release the Spider's chassis number or complete racing history as an A6GCS/53 and in its description of the car notes the chassis number as simply 03). Thoroughly abused by the end of the 1954 racing season, Maserati's racing department stripped the A6GCS/53 to its chassis and rebuilt it as a prototype of the 300S, fitted with Maserati's 3.0-liter straight-six and finished in 1955. As Walter Bäumer wrote in his book on the Maserati 300S, "perhaps the initial concept (for the 300S) was to install the bigger engine in a modified but basically standard A6GCS chassis, but it quickly became obvious that this combination would not be competitive against the cars of archrival Ferrari. A new chassis design was required for Maserati to make best use of the bigger engine."
Thus Maserati pushed the car to the side as it continued to develop and eventually build the production 300S. At about the same time, however, it was developing the 150S, a smaller four-cylinder car designed for customers to enter in 1.5-liter classes, so with an eye to create a road-going version of the 150S, Maserati's racing department once again stripped the A6GCS cum 300S prototype to its chassis. This time, they installed a 150S engine, backed by a gearbox from an A6G/2000, and slowed by 250F Grand Prix brakes. They then turned to Medardo Fantuzzi, who was responsible for the designs of both the A6GCS/53 and the 300S, to whip up a convertible body suitable for a street-driven, rather than track-driven, car. The 150 GT Spider looked impressive, but Maserati declined to produce it, citing its prohibitive cost. Writing on FerrariChat, Bäumer pointed out that Hans Tanner tested the car and found it lacking in terms of handling and quality, he believes that Tanner's report came from the newly finished car having been unsorted. Brynan noted, however, that the car's failure to reach development in part led Maserati to begin development of the 3500 GT, the company's first real street car.

Over the next three years, the 150 GT Spider hung around the Maserati shop, never seeing the light of day. In 1960, the company then sold it to one of its distributors in the U.K., where it remained until sometime in the 1980s, when it was sold to a German collector. The current European owner, who bought it painted red with a black interior around 2007, began to research its history when he found that the documentation he got with it didn't make any sense. That led him to discover the above history, confirmed by Adolpho Orsi and Bäumer, and to restore it back to its original cream with brown interior. According to Brynan, the 150 GT Spider, which Gooding estimates will sell for between $3 million and $4 million, has never been publicly shown since its restoration.
Gooding's Scottsdale auction will take place January 18-19 at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. For more information, visit GoodingCo.com.
UPDATE (21.January 2013): The Maserati sold for $3.08 million, including a 10 percent buyer's premium.
Ferrari 500 TR expected to make $2.1 million at Gooding
Though Ferrari in the 1950s is usually associated with sophisticated V-12 engines, it was a straight-four that contributed greatly to the three world titles Maranello won in four years. That 1,985cc four-cylinder is under the hood of the 1954 Ferrari 500 TR that will cross the block at Gooding's Scottsdale auction next month. This was the first car to bear the Testa Rossa name; it referred to the newly designed cylinder head, which was painted red. (The 500, in line with Ferrari practice, refers to the displacement of each cylinder, in cubic centimeters.) Other upgrades over its predecessor, the 500 Mondial, included coil springs over semi-elliptics, a dual-disc clutch and an all-synchronized four-speed gearbox. Nearly all of the 500 TRs were built by Scaglietti.
The example Gooding is selling is chassis number 0650 MTDR, which had an extensive racing campaign in the United States. Its first (and fourth) owner was John von Neumann; it was also raced by Bruce Kessler and Pete Lovely. It was raced at all the big-name tracks, Laguna Seca, Riverside, Pomona, Lime Rock, Palm Springs and Paramount among them. It was entered in more than 60 races, and finished all but a handful. Its original engine blew up in 1959, at which point it was replaced with the 500 TR engine of 0614 (that car, incidentally, then received a Chevrolet V-8).
In beautiful condition, and with an enviable competition history, the 500 TR is expected to bring $2.1 million to $2.6 million. Gooding's Scottsdale Auction will take place January 20 and 21 at the Scottsdale Fashion Square.
Feel the Elegance – 1970 Lincoln Continental Mark III
Claims of survivor automobiles can often be debunked by the tell-tale trail of an orbital sander, or yellowed plastic interior bits that belie the like-new condition of the exterior paint. Worse yet is a glaring tin-pot head of a modern grade zero hardware store bolt holding on a fender. Not so with this 460-cubic-inch V-8-powered Lincoln, which as far as we could tell, was in such pristine original condition that even the driver's seat looked as if no human rear had ever sat in it. Even typical faux brushed metal finish wear on electric window toggle switches was absent. The Continental Mark III coupe was on the block at the 2011 Gooding and Company Scottsdale Auction, and sold for $37,400. We're not sure why the headlamp covers were in the up position, but the solid-state electronic eye on the cowl-mounted optional Automatic Headlamp Dimmer may have exerted eerie mind control over the bidders in this particular case.

Mercifully Aged 1961 Mercedes 300 SL Roadster
Back in the salad days of the Nineties dot-com boom, we eked out a living painting sets for television and movies. Tasks included making many new things look old, which included building a ship set inside a restored WWII-vintage Liberty ship. Why? Glossy new stuff looks phony on film, because glossy new stuff does not surround us in real life. The reasoning behind the ship set inside a ship remains mysterious. What we do know is that this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster was far from glossy, and exhibited patina that only time and use could create. A dusty entry in a field of glossy contenders, this car seemed to draw more interest than any other car under the white tent at the 2011 Gooding and Company auction in Scottsdale. Whether or not a car with a roughly-adjusted-for-inflation $78,000 original MSRP is worth the $951,500 selling price is up to you to decide. The appeal of this exquisitely worn roadster was that it invited passersby to get in and drive.
Gooding claims top sale of Arizona auction week with $2.09 million Ferrari
Gooding and Company is claiming it made the biggest sale of the Scottsdale auction week with a 2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione that rung the bell at $2,090,000.
The 860hp supercar is one of just 30 built and retailed new for north of $2 million. Its 6.3-liter V-12 is based on the engine used in the Enzo, but is larger, and the car tips the scales at a feathery 2,546 pounds. The car was one of 11 Ferrari supercars and prototypes from the estate of real estate mogul Bemmy Caiola. Caiola's collection brought a total of $5,225,000.
The number two spot at Gooding went to another stunning Italian, a 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic that sold for $1,705,000. The car was the first of 15 8V Supersonics, with just 17,000 miles on the odometer and one owner for more than 55 years. The Fiat's pre-auction estimate was $1.1 – $1.4 million, which it easily exceeded.
Gooding's two-day sale, January 21-22, raked in a total of $34.9 million. There were 129 lots presented, and 121 sold, for a sell-through rate of 94 percent and an average price paid of $289,000. Gooding sold 100 percent of 72 lots auctioned in its Saturday event – a first for the auction house.
According to David Gooding, president and founder, "strong 2011 auction sales will result from an increasing demand for original, preservation-class quality cars. Mint condition models are equally in demand these days as we saw in the strong final sales of the 1937 MG SA Tourer and 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB Alloy Long Nose," pristine examples that sold for $209,000 and $1,430,000, respectively.
The top sales from the event are as follows:
2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione $2,090,000
1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic $1,705,000
1930 Duesenberg Model J Dual Cowl $1,485,000
1965 Ferrari 275 GTB Alloy Long Nose $1,430,000
1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 $1,100,000
1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS $1,045,000
1941 Chrysler Newport Dual Cowl $1,017,500
1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider $1,017,500
1971 Lamborghini Miura P400SV $990,000
1962 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster $951,500
$7.26 million Ferrari tops record-breaking cars at Monterey auctions
This past weekend, at least three cars pulled in winning bids that set new world records, according to the auction companies that sold those cars. Tops among those three was the 1959 Ferrari 250 GT long-wheelbase California Spider Competizione that hammered for $7.26 million Saturday night at Gooding and Company's event, the most ever paid for a LWB California Spider, according to the auction house.
At $3.965 million, the ex-Jurgen Neuhaus/Jurgen Barth 1972-73 European Interserie and David Hobbs/Mike Hailwood Gulf-JW Automotive team 1972-73 Porsche 917 Interserie Spyder neé 1970 Gulf-JWA Le Mans 917K Coupe makes claim to the title of most expensive Porsche ever sold at auction, according to Bonhams, the auctioneer of the 917.
Finally, RM Auctions announced that Tucker #1045, which came out of the John O'Quinn estate and sold for $1,127,500 Friday night, is the most expensive Tucker ever sold at auction.

|A while ago pretty much the two biggest branches on the left side of my Golden Gate Ficus just died. I believe it may have been because I had just gotten it and it was reacting to the change in environment. The rest of the plant looks fine and is thriving quite well, but it just looks horrible with no growth on the entire lower left side of the plant. Is there a way to promote new branch growth in that specific area of the plant? New branches have been growing at the top, but none where the dead ones were.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Follow-Up Postings:
|It's likely there was some issue with the roots on that side of the tree. Perhaps that side of the pot or container faced the south and the roots got too hot, or it may have been a watering issue.
It's hard to offer guidance w/o seeing your tree (a picture). You can promote back-budding by letting the tree grow wild until it is in excellent health and has lots of energy reserves, and then cutting it back hard. Occasionally, as the tree gains strength, it will back-bud on older wood on it's own, but you never know where the new buds might occur. How old your tree is, is a factor as well. Trees that are a high % of dynamic mass back-bud readily, but older trees get more reluctant to back-bud on older wood as the bark thickens.
There is also the thought that perhaps, after the radical change, a different way of styling the tree so the lost branches become a non-issue might be optional. Tilt the tree this way and that, and see if you can't look into the future and develop a different vision for what you initially had in mind for your tree - the old "When life gives you lemons ..... make lemonade" thing.
You don't say where you live, or give many details about your tree's care, but a good soil, light, and proper nutritional supplementation are key issues if you are to keep your tree in good health. If you want to start a more in depth discussion, that's ok, but the info so far is too sketchy to help you much.
How long have you had your tree?
|Sorry for not providing much information. My tree is quite young; around 4 years. I obtained my tree September 2010 when I began training it. I also did decide to let it grow wild for a while after the branches died. My bonsai sits on an East facing window, and I live in Minnesota, meaning during this season the plant is getting at least 9 hours of sunlight a day. I water at least once every 2 - 3 days, but usually aim for once a day. I got the soil and tree from a bonsai society in this state.
Thanks for your help! :)
|Some things to consider:
If it's on an east windowsill, (it's almost a given) it's not getting enough light, and it might be too cold there for the plant. (Your user info doesn't tell us where you live - you might wish to fix that. It makes it easier for others to help.) Soil temps should be above 60* always. They will tolerate lower soil temps for a while, but they prefer soil temps in the 65-75* range. If you're trying to water once each day, it's very likely that you're over-watering. In most cases I've seen, the bonsai soil sold at bonsai shops & even by bonsai clubs is finer than ideal. The reason is two-fold. They are trying to make a profit, so screening the fines out of the material is both an extra step (time is money) and they would lose a considerable fraction of the products they are using to make the soil (which they had to pay for) if they screened out the inappropriately-sized particles. I didn't say that to disparage the soils, I said it to impress upon you that you need to be very careful about how you water bonsai. Because of the shallow pots, ANY perched water table (PWT) is a large fraction of the soil, and PWTs kill roots.
E.g., if you are growing in a pot that is 3" deep, and in a soil that supports a 1 - 1-1/2" PWT. 1/3 to 1/2 of your soil remains saturated after you water. This is decidedly bad for your roots, and may be why your tree is suffering.
Water AS NEEDED. Use a sharp dowel & stick it in the soil all the way to the bottom of the pot. Don't water until it comes out clean and dry. After you water, tilt the pot steeply toward a drain hole - it will cause MUCH more water to drain from the soil. Try it. Water, making sure you flush the soil, & wait for the pot to stop draining. Then, tip the pot so a drain hole is down, and watch how much more water exits the pot. Also, use a wick to help with drainage - you can also use the wick as a 'tell', to let you know when it's time to water. You can read more about tips on how to deal with excess water retention by following the embedded link.
Have you been flushing the soil regularly? Where do you live? Are you fertilizing - with what - what strength?
|Hm... What window direction would you recommend? The temperature where the bonsai sits is always around 65 degrees, and I do have a heater there incase the temperature needs to be raised.
Thank you for the watering tips. I'll definitely change my watering habits.
I have not been flushing regularly... How does one properly go about flushing the soil? I live in Minnesota in the U.S., and I'm not fertilizing, even though I probably should be..
|Each time you water, the soil should be fully saturated and at least 10-15% of the total volume of water you apply should exit the drain holes. This flushes accumulating salts from the soil. In winter, you should also be fertilizing at low doses, but only if you are watering in the manner I described. If you water in small sips, the accumulating salts from your tap water makes it increasingly difficult for the plant to take up water and the nutrients dissolved in water.
I prefer fertilizers in the 3:1:2 ratio. Examples commonly found are MG or Peter's 24-8-16, MG 12-4-8, or my favorite - Foliage-Pro 9-3-6. I prefer the Foliage-Pro because it also supplies Ca and Mg, two elements commonly missing from soluble fertilizers. It also supplies nutrients in almost exactly the same ratio in which plants use them (allows you to keep soluble salts levels at the lowest possible w/o nutritional deficiencies) and in a favorable ratio to each other.
The plant would prefer a south window. I'm not sure what kind of heater you have, but make sure the warm air isn't blowing directly on the plant.
Make sure you read the link I left upthread.
For a more thorough understanding of how water behaves in soils (imperative if you are going to progress in the discipline of bonsai), get an understanding of what's in the link below under your belt.
Here is a link that might be useful: More about soils
|Oh, in that case I do indeed flush the soil every time I water the bonsai. I guess I was just confused by the term flushing.
Thank you for the fertilizer advice. I will certainly look into that more.
The problem about my home is that the there are only East and West facing windows... Do you think it'll survive in the East? And the heater I have is quite gentle and is certainly not directly blowing on the bonsai.
I did indeed read that link you left, and it was quite informative. I'll definitely read the one about soils as well.
|Don't underestimate the effect of adequate humidity.
|The Golden Gate Ficus has leaves high in cuticular wax & tolerates low humidity well, though that's not to say humidity of over about 40% isn't a plus. I keep the humidity in the room where I keep my Ficus at 50% or a little higher.
If you have issues with necrotic leaf tips and margins (spoiled foliage), look first to the level of soluble salts in the soil (solution), THEN to humidity as a contributor to the problem, rather than looking to low humidity as the direct cause.
