All nature talks to me now
What a Beauty! Beauty all around me…being guided by my Heart…entering the Mystery of the simplicity and Love of every moment here
Today is mother`s day here and I have spent a lovely morning caring for me in the best way, making a smoothie of greens and then resting in bed…what a luxury! Soon I shall be meeting my daughter in the garden of Ulriksdal where we will have lunch together…there I will also buy some xtra soil and plants for my garden. So looking forward to this day with my daughter! My son is out on other adventures and we will meet later. Deep gratitude to motherhood and all it`s gifts and teachings. What a life! What a blessed life! Both in joy and in sorrow, both in sunshine and rain. What a very Blessed Life!
Picture from photoshoot I did in an English garden summer-11 for the brand H-I-G-H. That was a beautiful time! Wish for that kind of work to come to me again very very soon! Have a wonderful mother`s day all mothers of all ages! Love
My friend Willy van Rooy found this picture of me on the internet…
it is by Guy Bourdin, for French Vogue somewhere early 70s. I`m so glad she found this because I have only a few of the pictures I made with him and I did not have this one. He was a very silent artist, working his details to perfection. The tightness of that belt around my waist was almost killing, I was almost breathless, unable to breath into my belly…and the photo session took a long time. Why is it so worth it? And is the result really worth it? Well, sometimes it is. The creative moment is ALWAYS worth it! Being a model is a co-creative work and working with so many different creative people is a tremendous gift. Guy Bourdin was definitely one of them. When I met him he was already doing big campaigns, such as Charles Jourdan and was very well known.Here you can see some of his work
From a womans blog, THE GOLDEN OYSTER it was sent to me by Gudrun Sjöden and it moves me to get this beautiful words written about me and the subject of fashion. The pictures on the right is my own private style. Notice how the light influences the way the face looks. A knowledge used by most photographers.
ingmari lamy & gudrun sjöden & age & fashion
1 & 4 - gudrun sjöden || 2 - advanced style || 3 - ingmari lamy's own blog || 5 - the sartorialist
- deutscher text am ende des artikels -
whenever a set of photographies showing gudrun sjöden's latest collection is published, i immediately start looking for pictures with ingmari lamy in them. among all the strong, inspiring and beautiful women, she has the most personality and seems to be very comfortable in her own skin (the blessings of age – i'm looking forward to it, too).
she also runs her own blog where she writes about her experiences as a model. she introduces friends, projects, presents after-show-pictures, but most of all, her short, open minded and simply happy notes add quite a spiritual, but authentic approach to the rather superficial world of fashion if you withdraw the factor of art. you can see her optimism in pictures of her, and she also dares to express some vulnerability.
well, i really don't like that 99% of models look the same, resulting in a lack of diversity. gudrun sjöden doesn't do that and i am thankful for it. in addition, i find "appropriate dress codes for certain ages" ridiculous. clothes are about personality, and personality can only be achieved by free choice and not by compliance to rules other people have set up. to me, style is one of many possibilities to develop and share one's personality (it is a skill that ingmari has obviously mastered – as well as designer gudrun sjöden herself). if you dress in accordance to your personality, you will always look appropriate.
in the future, i absolutely see myself as a shaman / herb woman / gardener – a personality that totally includes clothing from gudrun sjöden. as my wild flower and bee-friendly garden will need more time to grow, i will slowly grow into all of gudrun's clothes. right now, i wear some of her pieces, but i chose them for being more urban and dynamic – a look that reflects aspects of my personality at this point.i'll report about my diy projects as well as my gudrun sjöden clothes later this month! stay tuned~ a small preview:
And isn`t she really beautiful, strong and powerful! I can really see her as a shamanic woman teaching other women about the beauty and gifts of mother earth and themselves.
Some more reflections on your own Beauty and how deeply we see it ourselves…or not.
The more I write and share about my friends the more alive the past becomes present and here I am again…
It`s amazing how we see ourselves and how the camera see us. What is the image we want to give of ourselves and who we truly are. As I explore deeper into the realms of INNER Beauty I find so much beauty beyond description, very alive but without a face. The face can somehow portray that but not totally, since it is so beyond our ideas of who we are and how the world see us. Anyway…here we are…deeply enjoying being here.

Why again can I not use 2 x torpedo abilities of equal tier?

Been a while since I tried this, but there's something else to keep in mind...
Global Cooldowns.
This is when
BOff powers on a certain subsystem get a (usually) 15 second cooldown upon activation of a power in that class.
For example, activating Beam Fire at Will puts all beam-weapon skills on a 15 second cooldown - all my "target subystems" skills from being a science ship get hit with a 15 second cooldown, and my deflector system skills (energy syphon and Gravity well) do the same thing.
Now, it
be possible to activate a high yield, which gives you a 30 second firing window, then 15 seconds later activate torp spread, and fire off a spread of HY torps within that 15 second window.
Well, with the upgrade announcement leaving NX and Connie fans in the dust
, can we restart / revisit the T5 Connie and NX threads - since they will no longer be "truly" endgame ships... (after we get the T5 versions, it'll be time to see them added to the T5U upgrade charts too...

Doug Horner, now a backbench PC MLA for Spruce Grove-St. Albert, says he is resigning as of Jan. 31 to return to the private sector.
Jim Prentice spent $2.6 million to win the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party and the Alberta premier's chair, according to campaign documents released Tuesday. Financial records from the PC leadership contest submitted to Elections Alberta show Prentice's campaign had $2,661,201 in revenue and $2,637,050 in expenses — leaving a $24,151 surplus. The documents show Prentice — […]

It's been more than a week since pro-democracy protests first broke out in Hong Kong and what's now known as the "Umbrella Revolution" began. Ten floors above the passionate crowd in the Admiralty district, Gary Mar has watched it all unfold and seen thousands of people flood the streets. And amongst the thousands of demonstrators and their opponents, tempers are beginning to fray, Mar said.
When he was American defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld famously said, "you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want." The party Jim Prentice now leads may not be the party he wants, but what can he do about it?
EDMONTON — Amid opposition accusations of political patronage, Premier Jim Prentice put his personal stamp on Alberta's foreign offices Wednesday, dumping the top two envoys and handing a job to a senior member of his campaign team. Prentice appointed veteran federal diplomat Ron Hoffman to immediately begin reorganizing Alberta's eight Asian offices and eventually replace envoy Gary Mar when his contract expires next June.
Imagine Thomas Lukaszuk and Ric McIver racing around on tricycles. They're having fun — until Jim Prentice pulls up on his steamroller. That may not be the whole truth, but it sure is the impression the Prentice camp wants to give PC party members by releasing his leadership fundraising numbers.
EDMONTON — Tory leadership candidate Jim Prentice says that if he becomes premier next month, he will conduct an immediate review of Alberta's foreign trade offices to address complaints they have not been effective. Prentice told reporters this week the review could result in staff changes and foreign offices being relocated or shut down.
The sleepy summer Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership race has been without controversy — until now.
EDMONTON — Taxpayers forked out $560,000 to failed PC leadership candidate Gary Mar to serve as Alberta's representative in Asia last year, according to newly-released documents. Mar earned $275,159 in base salary and another $50,868 in cash benefits, as well as $234,252 in non-cash benefits last year, according to financial disclosure documents in the International and Intergovernmental Relations annual report released last week.
Jim Prentice's former position as a director for a company that oversees a private medical clinic in Calgary is raising questions about the PC leadership candidate's commitment to public medical care. The advocacy group Friends of Medicare raised a red flag Friday over Prentice's recent stint as a board member of Coril Holdings, a private company whose assets include Inliv Full Circle Health.
Tory leadership hopeful Thomas Lukaszuk said the public wants the candidates vying to become Alberta's next premier to make clear who is backing them financially before Progressive Conservatives vote to select a new leader in September. Front-runner Jim Prentice is non-committal on the issue, but Lukaszuk promised this week to release his list of financial supporters before the ballots are cast Sept. 6 — as has another leadership contender, Ric McIver.
Jim Prentice isn't about to throw his friends overboard, but they won't be scoring any sunken treasurer either. That's essentially the Progressive Conservative leadership candidate's response to news that contracts awarded to Navigator Ltd. are under scrutiny by Alberta's auditor general.
These Alberta Progressive Conservatives — just when you think they might be down for the count, the old power surges up from some subterranean storehouse and you know they're far from finished. Thursday night's Calgary leader's dinner was the biggest I've ever seen; about 1,800 people turned out to hear Premier Dave Hancock speak at the Telus Convention Centre.
Ah, 2011, where are you now that Alberta Progressive Conservatives really need you? There was a lively leadership race that year. It began soon after Premier Ed Stelmach suddenly said he'd quit.
At least four senior cabinet ministers have begun to dip toes into the Tory leadership waters, with now-former premier Alison Redford headed to the government backbenches and Dave Hancock bringing temporary stability to the party helm. Many members waited a few days after Redford's resignation announcement. But with a leadership contest to be settled in four to six months, Doug Horner, Ken Hughes, Thomas Lukaszuk and Jonathan Denis are now publicly putting out feelers for support.

No government decision is immune from criticism, but really, provincial workers are that upset about the release of the names and compensation of those earning more than $100,000?

As director of land claims in Aboriginal Relations, with an "A" at the start of his last name, this fellow's salary of $122,419 heads up the list of about 3,400 senior managers making more than $100,000 annually.

Alright, what is your favorite beer to use in making ice cream? As in ice cream flavored beer, not beer floats or beer over ice cream, although those are good too. Please give the beer name and the brewer. Recipes are appreciated if you have them.
SWMBO and I made up a Guiness Ice Cream last week. It called for reducing the Guiness over a low simmer to 3/4 volume, then adding it into the custard prior to running it in the machine.
It turned out okay, but there were loads of ice crystals after freezing. Our next attempt at this we will use our own Stout brew which is fuller bodied than the Guiness and reduce it to 1/2 volume.
I don't have the recipe here at work, but if my memory recalls it was something like this:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean (split with seeds removed and added to mixture along with bean hull)
12oz Guiness Beer
Reduce the Guiness on a low simmer to 3/4 volume and cool in the refridgerator
In a large sauce pan heat the heavy cream, milk, sugar and vanilla to a light boil. In a separate bowl beat the egg yolks and slowly add 1 cup of the cream mixture to the eggs while wisking (you do not want scrambled eggs so be careful). Add the egg and cream mixture to the sauce pan while wisking and bring the mixture up to 170F. for 5 minutes (wisk or stir constantly). Cool the mixture for 2 hours in the refridgerator.
Add the Guiness reduction to the cooled custard and place in the ice cream machine.
Pack ice cream in containers and put it in the freezer for at least 1 or 2 hours.

Hybrid Composites from Waste Materials
Alireza Ashori
Published online: 22 December 2009
? Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009
reinforced with waste newspaper fiber (NF) and poplar
wood flour (WF) were prepared. The weight ratio of the
lignocellulosic materials to polymer was 30:70 (w:w).
Polypropylene (PP) and maleic anhydride grafted poly-
propylene (MAPP) were also used as the polymer matrix
and coupling agent, respectively. The mechanical proper-
ties, morphology and thermal properties were investigated.
The obtained results showed that tensile and flexural
modulus of the composites were significantly enhanced
with addition of biofibers in both types (fiber and flour), as
compared with pure PP. However, the increasing in WF
content substantially reduced the tensile, flexural and
impact modulus, but improved the thermal stability. This
effect is explained by variations in fiber morphological
properties and thermal degradation. Increasing fiber aspect
ratio improved mechanical properties. The effect of fiber
size on impact was minimal compared to the effects of fiber
content. Scanning electron microscopy has shown that the
composite, with coupling agent, promotes better fiber–
matrix interaction. The largest improvement on the thermal
stability of hybrid composites was achieved when WF was
added more. In all cases, the degradation temperatures
shifted to higher values after addition of MAPP. This work
clearly showed that biofiber materials in both forms of fiber
and flour could be effectively used as reinforcing elements
in thermoplastic PP matrix.
Hybrid composites of thermoplastic biofiber
Mechanical properties ? Lignocellulosic fibers ?
Waste materials
Hybrid composite ? Biodegradable ?
The concept of hybrid systems for improved material or
structural performance is well-known in engineering
design. However, it is the inspiration from natures' own
materials that are motivating the path towards innovative
materials and structural designs [1]. Recently, hybrid
composites have attracted the attention of many researchers
as a way to enhance mechanical properties of composites
[2–6]. Hybrid composites are materials made by combining
two or more different types of fibers in a common matrix.
They offer a range of properties that cannot be obtained
with a single type of reinforcement [7]. Hybridization may
offset the disadvantages of one component by the addition
of another fiber. A requisite for the occurrence of a hybrid
effect is that the two fibers will vary by their mechanical
properties and by the interfaces they form with the matrix.
A combination of only two types of fibers would likely be
most useful. For example, the hybridization of two types of
short biofibers or lignocellulosic fibers having different
lengths and diameters offers some advantages over each
fiber alone being used in a single polymer matrix. Hybrid
reinforcement with good fibers selection possibly will
produce excellent properties and fulfill a current demand
for polymer matrix composites [8].
In recent years, there have been quite a number of
studies on the hybridization of synthetic fiber and natural
lignocellulose fiber [7–12]. However, hybrid composites
using natural fibers are less studied and the most published
reports are limited to the hybrid composite consisting of

one natural fiber and one synthetic fiber. For example, the
use of natural/glass fibers and talc/carbon fiber has been
reported [7, 11, 13, 14].
With regard to the environmental aspects it is very
interesting that biofibers could be used instead of synthetic
fibers such as carbon, aramid and glass fibers in composite
materials [15]. Synthetic fibers cause health problems to
workers due to the skin irritations during processing and
handling. Compared to the traditional synthetic fibers,
biofibers from renewable natural resources present lower
density, less abrasiveness, lower cost and they are renew-
able and biodegradable [16]. Much work has been done on
virgin thermoplastic and lignocellulosic fiber composites,
which have successfully proven their applicability to var-
ious fields of technical applications, especially for load-
bearing application [17–23]. However, work done on waste
hybrid biocomposite systems is still limited.
With cooperation from the Iranian Research Organiza-
tion for Science and Technology (IROST), a research
program has been initiated at the Department of Chemical
Industries to investigate the mechanical and physical
properties of newspaper fiber (NF) - wood flour (WF)/
polypropylene (PP) hybrid composites containing waste
raw materials. In this work, the effects of fibers weight
fractions (NF:WF ratios) and coupling agent concentration
(0, 2 and 4 wt%) on the mechanical properties and thermal
degradation of the resultant composites were studied.
Finally, scanning electron micrographs of tensile fractured
samples have been taken in order to study the fracture
mechanism of the hybrid system. The physical properties in
terms of water absorption and thickness swelling of the
hybrid composites will be reported in a future publication.
The two different types of biofibers, namely NF and poplar
of NF was first soaked in water for 30 min and then defi-
berized using a disintegrator. The fiber suspension was fil-
drum. Particles of the WF screened in the range of 50–80
mesh. Table 1 shows the fiber morphological properties of
NF and WF. Lignocellulosic materials were used as the
reinforcement without any modification to compare the
properties of the composites.
Polymer matrix applied for making composites was
recycled PP which was obtained from Bandar Imam Pet-
rochemical Commercial Co., Iran. The PP, having a density
of 0.91 g/cm3and a melt flow index of 8 g/10 min at
230 ?C and under 2.16 N load.
Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was
obtained from Aldrich Chemical Company, which has a
density of 0.912 g/cm3, molecular weight of 9100 and
Brookfield viscosity of 40,000 cP at 190 ?C. All chemicals
were used directly without any further modification.
Composites Preparation
After preparation of NF and WF, they were dried in an
oven at 105 ?C for 24 h to a moisture content of less than
3%. The weight ratio of the biofibers to polymer was 30:70
(w/w) for all blends. Formulation of the mixes and abbre-
viation used for the respective mixes prepared are given in
Table 2. Hybrid composites with NF:WF ratios of 100:0,
75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 (w:w) were produced. The
weight of coupling agent in the formulation was with
respect to total weight of composite and was deducted from
PP content. All the experiments were performed in a Collin
corotating twin screw extruder having segmented screw
and barrels. The barrel had five heated zones, which were
set at 165, 170, 175, 180 and 185 ?C, respectively. Screw

speed was 60 rpm and the pressure at the die was
1500 MPa. The product was recovered by guiding the
molten extrudate into a cold water stranding bath. The
cooled strands were pelletized using a pilot scale grinder
(Collin model), dried and stored in sealed plastic bags. Test
specimens were injection molded at 190 ?C to produce
standard ASTM specimens. The specimens were stored in
conditioning room (50% RH and 23 ?C) for at least 40 h
before testing.
Mechanical Testing
Tensile and flexural properties were measured on an
Instron computerized testing machine (model 8112) in
accordance with ASTM D 638 and ASTM D 790 proce-
dures, respectively. Crosshead speed was 5 mm/min. Not-
ched Izod impact strength was measured according to
ASTM D 256 on Santam made pendulum impact tester
(model SIT-20D). Six replicates were run for each com-
position to obtain a reliable average and standard devia-
Fracture Sample Analysis
Studies on the morphology of the composites were carried
out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM
micrographs of the surfaces of tensile fractured specimens
were taken using SEM Model WEGA-II TESCAN. The
specimen was coated with a thin film (25 nm) of gold to
avoid electrical charge accumulation during examination
and then analyzed at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV.
Thermal Characterization
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed to
determine weight loss as a function of temperature. Sam-
ples of 7.5 mg were heated from room temperature to
650 ?C under nitrogen atmosphere with a constant heating
rate of 10 ?C/min. Each sample type was measured in
Results and Discussion
Recycled PP was filled with various mixtures of NF and
WF to produce hybrid composites. The mechanical prop-
erties in terms of tensile, flexural and impact properties of
the composites are illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. Figures 4
and 5 showed the SEM micrographs and TGA analysis of
the produced polymer composites. It is to be noted that the
tensile and flexural modulus of pure PP samples using the
same conditions as the composites were 1252 MPa and
1130 MPa, respectively.
Mechanical Properties of Composites
In general, results showed that tensile modulus of the
composites was significantly enhanced with addition of
biofibers in both types (fiber and flour), as compared with
pure PP. However, the tensile modulus of the hybrid
composites displays different behavior (Fig. 1). With the
addition of WF, the tensile modulus decreases, but with the
addition of MAPP, it increases. This behavior can be
explained by the weak interfacial interaction between PP
and WF. Nun ˜ez et al. [24] observed a similar trend with
eucalyptus wood flour filled polypropylene composites.
Another possible explanation for this different behavior
could be due to the non-uniform dispersion of biofibers

within the polymer matrix which impairs the mechanical
properties [22, 23].
One of the most important parameters controlling the
mechanical properties of short fibers composite is the fiber
length or more precisely its aspect ratio (length/width).
Maldas et al. [25] investigated the effect of wood species
on the mechanical properties of wood/thermoplastic com-
posites. They reported that differences in morphology,
density, and aspect ratios across wood species account for
varying reinforcement properties in thermoplastic com-
posites. A high aspect ratio is very important in fiber
reinforced composites, as it indicates potential strength

properties [22, 23]. Stark and Rowlands [26] also reported
that aspect ratio, rather than particle size, has the greatest
effect on strength and stiffness. As can be seen from
Table 1, NF has high fiber length and aspect ratio com-
pared to the WF.
In order to improve the bonding strength between the
lignocellulosic materials and the matrix polymer, coupling
agent was used. Figure 1 showed the tensile modulus of the
hybrid composites containing 0–4 wt% of coupling agent.
As expected, tensile modulus increased with the use of
MAPP, which is believed to be due to better interfacial
bonding between the fiber and matrix. This is supported by
SEM micrographs (Fig. 4) in which fiber pull-out and de-
bonding predominates at the fracture surface when no
coupling agent used, but is less prevalent in composites
with coupling agent.
It can be seen, tensile modulus increased as the con-
centration of coupling agent increased and leveled out at
higher concentration of the coupling agent. The maximum
tensile modulus (1628 MPa), which is 16% higher than that
of pure PP matrix, was achieved with 4 wt% MAPP
(sample C3). Addition of 2 wt% MAPP significantly
increases the tensile modulus of the composite group A
from 1300 to 1505 MPa.
Flexural modulus shows a similar trend as that of tensile
modulus and shows a maximum improvement of 83%
strength at 2 wt% of coupling agent, as compared with pure
PP (Fig. 2). The explanation is similar to that of the tensile
properties. The lower flexural modulus exhibited by the
composites with WF compared to NF may be attributed to
the smaller particle size of WF (0.7 mm), compared to NF
(1.8 mm). Flexural modulus also seems to be more or less
independent of the coupling agent.
Increase in the NF loading significantly reduced the
notched impact strength of the composites without MAPP
(0 wt%). Variation of notched Izod impact strength with
increasing content of coupling agent is shown in Fig. 3.
The notched impact strength of the composites shows a
slightly improvement in the strength by the addition of the
coupling agent and is almost unaffected by the concentra-
tion of the coupling agent. Coupling agent plays a major
role in determining the crack initiation process by better
interaction between the fiber and the matrix. An optimum
interaction between the fiber and the matrix is essential to
have good impact strength. It is worth mentioning that the
enhancement in the untreated samples could be attributed
to the more homogeneous dispersion of the NF and WF.
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
During the manufacturing of polymer-composites, the
degradation temperature of the lignocellulosic filler has
great importance, because it determines the maximum
processing temperature that can be used [27]. The degra-
dation of wood due to high temperatures can lead to
undesirable properties, such as odor, discoloration and loss
of mechanical strength. On the other side, different wood
species have different thermal degradation based on their
chemical compositions. These structural differences govern
the use of these materials in wood plastic composites. For
example, the initial degradation of jute, wheat straw flour
and pine were reported 190 ?C [28], 220 ?C [29], and
256 ?C [30], respectively. As is known, lignocellulosic
materials consist of three major macromolecular constitu-
ents, namely cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. It is
believed that low temperature degradation is associated
with the degradation of hemicelluloses. The decomposition
rate of lignin reaches the maximum value at 360 ?C.
Based on the TGA analysis during the manufacturing of
the composites, extruder temperatures should be over
170 ?C to facilitate the melting of the polymer matrix and
should be less than 220 ?C to prevent the cellulosic
materials from degrading. The TGA results obtained from
various combinations of NF and WF are shown in Fig. 5. It
can be clearly seen that weight loss starts after 200 ?C and
almost finishes at 600 ?C. In all studied formulations (A, B,
C, D, and E), composites showed a small weight loss
before 150 ?C, which can be attributed to evaporation of
the absorbed water. This loss depends on the initial mois-
ture content of the fibers. The weight loss rate gradually
increased above 200 ?C and a distinct weight loss appeared
between 300 and 500 ?C, in two main degradation steps.
The first degradation step below 300 ?C can be attributed
to the decomposition of individual wood components such
as hemicellulose and extractives, while the second degra-
dation step between 300 and 500 ?C is due to the decom-
position of cellulosic materials in the wood [27]. The
degradation temperature was found to be 225–480 and
230–490 ?C for the untreated sample A1 and treated
sample A3, respectively. Initial degradation of composites
grades D2 and E3, which had high content of WF, was
showed to be 250 ?C. The initial degradation of recycled
PP was started around 230 ?C and maximized around
These results clearly illustrate that the thermal stability
of the composites increases after using WF and further
increases after addition of MAPP. This could be explained
by the high thermal stability of lignin compared to the
cellulose and hemicellulose. The greatest improvement on
the thermal stability was achieved when 4 wt% MAPP was
used, which led to a distinct improvement of the thermal
stability. This improvement is due to enhanced interfacial
adhesion and additional intermolecular bonding which is
promoted by the coupling agent [31]. It should also be
noted that residence time of the material in the extruder is
also important. Higher processing temperature can be set if
J Polym Environ (2010) 18:65–7069

the component passes through the extruder in a short period
of time [32].
The mechanical properties, morphology and thermal
properties of hybrid composites were investigated and
compared with pure recycled PP composites. This work
clearly showed that lignocellulosic materials in both forms
of fiber and flour could be effectively used as reinforcing
elements in thermoplastic PP matrix. It can be believed that
from the combination of adequate fibers (especially in
terms of aspect ratio) and MAPP, one can succeed in the
preparation of good performance composite materials
containing waste renewable natural resources. The effect of
fiber size on impact is minimal compared to the effects of
fiber content. The SEM tensile fracture surfaces of treated
composites showed better filler–matrix interfacial interac-
tion than untreated ones. However, untreated composites
showed higher tensile, flexural modulus and impact
strength as compared with pure PP. It is due to the
homogeneous dispersion of the NF and WF in polymer
The thermal degradation behavior of the hybrid com-
posites was characterized with TGA. The largest improve-
ment on the thermal stability of hybrid composites was
achieved when WF was added more (samples D and E). In
all cases, the degradation temperatures shifted to higher
values after addition of MAPP.

LFB Submissions form Do you think you're the best band in Btown?? Live From Bloomington is a committee on Union Board that has existed in some capacity since 1986. LFB was started 25 years ago by a couple of IU students. It began with a group of local musicians contributing one song each to an album. All of the money from album sales went to Hoosier Hills Food Bank. There were also release parties combined with canned food drives held at local clubs. Since then, LFB has continually helped IU students connect with the Bloomington community. There has been over a quarter of
a million pounds of food donated, $75 thousand dollars contributed, and hundreds of local musicians have had their songs professionally recorded. LFB has been recognized by Billboard Magazine and MTV for our creativity and initiatives put forth by the committee members and musicians. We have continued to improve and come up with new, creative ideas throughout the years.

A lot of people say that the golfing at Spyglass is better than Pebble Beach. I disagree. Sure, golfing at Spyglass is still great, course in great condition, tight fairways, challenging carries. Service is good, but just not quite the same as Pebble Beach. But outside of the first 4 holes where you have only a view of the ocean,...
So, after playing Pebble Beach the day before, this was a tough act to follow. Obviously, you don't get the same majestic views at Spyglass but some holes are stunning nonetheless. The conditioning is what makes this course so amazing. The layout is challenging and the trees are breathtaking. I can see why Spyglass is ranked #2 only behind Pebble....
Challenging Golf Course with great views of the ocean for a few holes. Lots of deer grazing on the course make a nice curiosity. Played in winter so the grass was heavy and greens a little slow. Enjoyed all the fluffy white sand in the bunkers. Great staff and Course Marshall a delight.
So look @ my review of Pebble Beach and you'll see why my title makes sense. If you've got a corporate expense account (does anyone have these any more?) or you happen to be flush (like the plastic surgeon I was paired with, or the fellow that owned multiple gyms) then play early and play often! If you're a midwestern...
Spyglass Hill is a nice golf course, but I found the holes somewhat "gimmicky" and not always fair. It's very pretty, like the rest of the Monterrey peninsula, but given the buildup it had in my mind, I was a little disappointed.
We thoroughly enjoyed playing Spyglass even though they punched the greens a week or so before. It really is a tough test for the game and those first 5 holes down by the water are spectacular. One of those courses that once you play, you want to go right back out and play again.
Played really well at SpyGlass so has to be my favourite some excellent holes by the beach then tough ones in the tree-lined part of the course.
I think so. Or damn close. Pebble on a sunny warm day is tough to beat but I will have to say that Spyglass, ANY DAY, is as good as golf gets.
This is a great course. Terrific ocean holes. And terrific Forrest holes. Probably the best mix of ocean and forrest in the world.
Day 2 of a 7 day trip, Spy Glass Hill was just breath taking, Opening tee shot is the most fun you will have in the area carry the saddle and make the fairway you have an easy par 5 don't and its time to start grinding. Great layout and a tough test of golf, maintenance had been carried out...

A Personal Note part 2

Meditation and mindfulness are a spiritual door. It doesn't matter what your personal religious or spiritual beliefs are because the passage is open to all.

AVID Roots here presents two classic Champion Jack Dupree albums plus, including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.
Blues From The Gutter and Champion Jacks Natural & Soulful Blues from 1958 and 1959 respectively are complimented by a host of Singles from the 1940s and 50s, many of which are finding their way onto CD for the very first time courtesy of AVID! We kick things off with Jacks first two albums, Blues From The Gutter recorded in New York in 1958 and considered by many to be his finest work to that point and perhaps his finest work ever! We follow this with an album dear to British blues enthusiasts hearts and recorded in 1959 in London using such stalwart British bluesmen as Alexis Korner and Jack Fallon Champion Jacks Natural & Soulful Blues. Concluding side one and onto side two we have a selection of Jacks singles recorded in the 40s and 50s for such diverse labels as Continental, Red Robin, King and Groove & Vik. Unlike many bluesmen born around the early 1900s Champion Jack Dupree went on to have a very long and full life, travelling extensively around Europe and recording for many different labels as witnessed on this fine double CD. He finally settled in Germany where he died in 1992 having recorded over 40 albums!

Hotel review overview
A nice surprise, and good location
- Recommended hotel
- Couples
- City break
- January 2015
Booked this room as an Accor point redemption, but having looked the prices for a room it's very reasonable. We were upgraded from a standard room to an enormous apartment. The hotel is built in an old office building, leading to some pretty weird features - oddly sized/shaped rooms, and enormously wide corridors. But it actually works - we really enjoyed it. Due to the odd nature of the building, our apartment was two levels - downstairs a large living area and full sized kitchen, upstairs a decently sized bedroom and bathroom. The location is excellent - just next to ... the river, and not far from the excellent restaurant district on the South bank. As one of the cheaper options in Melbourne, we would really happily stay here again. read hotel review

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

She seems to be very aware of that herself. She will play Monterrey now which if it does play as fast as last year, should be a very good surface for her.
Can't say much about the match without watching. First set could have gone either way, but Miami's courts always troubled her. Hampton is a good player, anyway.
Yeah, one thing I really like about Monica at the moment is she does seem to have a real good understanding of her strengths and weaknesses and she definitely seems to know what she needs to improve. She also has managed her schedule very smartly which is nice to see. Playing Paris again was a good move, even if it didn't work out, playing Florianopolis was an excellent choice and Monterrey also looks like being a fine choice. Really hope she gets some wins there. Clay will as always be a test, and she will, as always, need some good match-ups on that surface (ballbashers? Yes please
Spanish and Italian dirtballers? No thank you
) but I do believe Monica is playing the best tennis of her life right now and with a little bit of kindness from the god who is responsible for tennis draws the clay season might turn out to be not so bad after all.
As for today's match...I was hoping for a win today but this result is hardly a surprise. Yeah, Hampton is a good player alright.

Written on the Dock of the Bay: June 28, 2013
Written on the Dock of the Bay is your weekly guide to literary and bookish happenings in the pleasantly literary and bookish Bay Area.
Bookstore openings // Two new bookstores are coming to Marin County this summer -- Copperfield's Books will be arriving at San Rafael in November, and Diesel will be opening up in Larkspur as soon as July. In Marin, the number of independent bookstores is about half of what it was nearly 15 years ago, so this is pretty sweet news.
Barnes & Nobles to stop manufacturing Nooks // After spending hundreds of millions of dollars in an effort to compete with Amazon and Apple in the market for e-readers, Barnes & Nobles is retreating from the Tablet War after losses at its Nook digital business more than doubled in the last quarter, wiping out profits generated at its bookstores. Independent bookstores in the Bay Area are, by and large, still giving e-books a go. As of April, Alexander Book Co. in San Francisco has sold no e-books, while Books Inc. chain of a dozen small shops in the Bay Area has sold about 200 e-readers and 300 - 400 e-books through Canadian e-reading upstart Kobo.

Queen Open Mic // Natasha Muse, one of the funniest transsexual comedians around, is bringing her cerebral comedy to Modern Times Bookstore this Friday. And so are you! Maybe.

Music at the bookstore // Friends lovingly call the versatile bookstore on Clement Street "Green Apple Books" for short. But, really, the bookstore's full birth name is "Green Apple Books and Music." This second installment of the Green Apple Local Music Showcase pays tribute to the store's fabulous vinyl collection by bringing together The Avenues, a band that is half-rock, half-soul, and half-funky break downs. With all those surplus of halves, this bookstore is gonna get loud. // DETAILS: Saturday, June 29, 6pm. Green Apple Books. 506 Clement Street, San Francisco
Wednesday, July 3

Two corpses found in former Anson County funeral home
Authorities are trying to identify two badly decomposed corpses found this week in the former F & M McClendon Funeral Home, two years after the home was closed, WSOC-TV reported Wednesday.
Authorities were still at the scene late Wednesday after executing a search warrant inside the home.
In 2012, WSOC-TV reported, the home's former director, Mary Mclendon, lost her license to run a funeral home and was evicted after three bodies were discovered inside that had not been properly disposed of.

text: "Wildman" Steve Brill inadvertently kicked off his foraging/educational career by getting arrested for eating dandelions in New York's Central Park in 1986. That led to nationwide fame, late-night appearances, and his first published book, Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in the Wild (and Not So Wild). This cookbook is his second major work, and it picks up where the first left off — now that you've harvested your goods (or found them in a well-stocked grocery store), here's how you can prepare them. I frankly cannot WAIT until spring to make use of plants that I formerly thought of as pesky weeds, like wood sorrel and dandelions. Even purposely planted ornamental trees and flowers can be enjoyed in the kitchen — did you know that redbud blossoms and daylilies are delicacies? You'll find all sorts of berries and mushrooms in this book, too, plus nuts, greens, and even sea plants. From Mulberry Wine to Watercress Bisque, you're bound to come across some forage-able plant recipes you'd like to try.
