Product Reviews
Janus Tuttle2 Stars Out Of 5Her Restless Heart by Barbara CameronMarch 12, 2015Janus TuttleQuality: 2Value: 2Meets Expectations: 2I was very disappointed in this book. It seemed you could predict the end of the story from almost the first page. This, of coursse is true of many Amish Fiction books, however some hold a bit of mystery or suspense to the story. This was one I found myself even wanting to finish it. I have read many, that I found I couldn't either put them down or could hardly wait to read some more of the story , however this was not one of them. I doubt I will buy man more in this series.
wfnrenSt Cloud, FLAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5I really liked this story.August 24, 2012wfnrenSt Cloud, FLAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Mary Katherine lives with her Grandmother, actually she feels like she was given a new lease on life when her Grandmother asked her Father if she could live with her and help in her shop in town. Mary Katherine's Daed never treated her right and ridiculed her about everything. There was no physical abuse but there was emotional abuse, not only to Mary Katherine but toward her Mother also. Weaving was Mary Katherine's favorite thing to do and since moving in with her Grandmother she was free to weave whenever she felt like it.
Jacob has known Mary Katherine since they attended school together. What she didn't know was that he loved her quietly, he never said or did anything to let her know. Love and marriage was the farthest thing from her mind though, she wanted nothing to do with any man, she thought all men were like her Daed. She was confused as to where she belonged in this world, she has an Englisch friend, Jamie, and sometimes feels like the Englisch world would be a lot better than being Amish.
When Daniel, another schoolmate, returns from Florida to sell the family farm, he shows an interest in Mary Katherine. Jacob doesn't like what he see's and starts to show an interest also. Mary Katherine doesn't realize that they are both vying for her attention.
When Mary Katherine's Mother has a heart attack she returns home to take care of her because she knows her Daed won't do anything for himself and her Mother will be doing the daily chores before she's completely recovered. She was right too! Her Daed had not changed at all during the time she'd been staying at her Grandmothers house, IF he ever talked to her, it was to cut her down. She finally had enough of his treatment and leaves, taking off walking to town on a rainy day.
What will happen to Mary Katherine? You'll have to read for yourself, no hint from me. I really did enjoy this book, I think it's the first book I've read that Barbara has written and I must say that I'm looking forward to finding some more by her. You will not be sorry if you purchase this one.

KimberlyAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Her Restless HeartAugust 5, 2012KimberlyAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is the first book in the author's new series Stitches in Time. Mary Katherine is restless and hounded by others to join the Amish church. Raised by an overly strict father and a pushover mother, Mary Katherine has little confidence in herself, but begins to heal emotionally when she moves in with her grandmother Leah. She works in Leah's craft shop, along with her cousins Anna and Naomi. Each cousin has talent in various handcrafts, and Mary Kathrine's is weaving. Thanks to her father's criticism, Mary Katherine knows that words can hurt more than physical wounds, and the emotional pain takes much longer to heal.
I found myself pulling for Mary Katherine right away, and also drawn into Naomi and Anna's lives as well. Leah is the kind of grandmother that we all wish we could have, wise and compassionate, knowing when to push a bit and when to back off. In some ways, Leah reminds me of my grandmothers. I also enjoyed the cameos and short updates on characters from Barbara's Quilts of Lancaster County series. I can't wait for the next book in the series, scheduled to release this autumn. :-)
VicsMediaRoomIrvine, CAAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Three Worlds, One Decision And RomanceJuly 11, 2012VicsMediaRoomIrvine, CAAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Barbara Cameron in her new book, "Her Restless Heart" Book One in the Stitches in Time Series published by Abingdon Press takes us into the life of Mary Katherine in the Amish community in Lancaster County.
From the back cover: Looking outward, searching inward
Mary Katherine is caught between the traditions of her faith and the pull of a different life. When Daniel, an Amish man from Florida, arrives, Mary Katherine feels drawn to him and curious about the life he leads away from Lancaster County.
But her longtime friend Jacob has fallen in love with her, and he's afraid of losing Mary Katherine to this outsider.
Will the conflicted Mary Katherine be lost to the Englisch world, or to Daniel, who may take her away to Florida? Or will she embrace her Amish faith and recognize Jacob as the man she should marry and build a life with?
In "Her Restless Heart" worlds collide; Lancaster County, Florida and the Englisch world. For Mary Katherine each has something to offer that she needs and she is torn between them all. This is a story of self-esteem and the things we do as human beings to build our self-esteem when our parents have not given it to us. We build our relationships on who is helping to support our self-esteem whether they are good or bad. On top of everything Ms. Cameron manages to weave a romance into this story that just captivates you. She makes you care for all the characters and their journey. This is also just plain fun and exciting as well. Don't start this book late at night because it will cost you sleep. I look forward to the next book in the series.

tammycookblogsbooks3 Stars Out Of 5Her Restless HeartJuly 2, 2012tammycookblogsbooksMary Katherine was doing what she loved - weaving items to sell at her grandmother Leah's shop, Stitches In Time. A year ago, Mary Katherine left her mother and controlling father's farm to live with Leah and help run Stitches In Time with her cousins Naomi and Anna. She should have been happy but she was feeling restless. She was attracted to her English friend Jamie's lifestyle. Mary Katherine was 22 years old and not yet baptized into the Amish faith. She wasn't ready for that commitment yet. Nor was she ready to commit to dating a young man, even though Jacob Miller had an interest in her. Does Mary Katherine ever get baptised? Will she ever be ready to date? Read Her Restless Heart to find out.
This story didn't seem well thought out at times. Mary Katherine was 22 years old and her grandmother was in her late forties. What age does that leave Mary Katherine's mother? Mary Katherine lived with her grandmother yet the only time they had heart to heart talks was at the shop. The Amish in this story used a lot of English phrases, like dating instead of courting. It got to be annoying how many times it was said that Mary Katherine was restless. Every week-end Mary Katherine went out to dinner with Jamie and spent the night at her house to watch movies. I thought this kind of friendship was discouraged among the Amish. Daniel Kurtz was not a main character like the book description makes it appear.
I like Barbara Cameron as a writer from her previous stories that I read. I thought A Time For Peace: Quilts of Lancaster County Book 3 was a well written story. You can read my book review on my blog. I also read An Amish Christmas: December In Lancaster County and liked that book. I didn't enjoy Her Restless Heart as much as I hoped I would. I do plan on reading Journey Of The Heart: Stitches in Time Book 2.
I received a free copy of this eBook from NetGalley and Abingdon Press for my honest review.

Chances are if you're a president, premier or plain ol' peacemaker with an eye on publicity, you've managed to get a bit of Bono in your life. The billionaire U2 rocker-cum-humanitarian spent Monday by the side of Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize-winner who's spent decades seeking democracy in her military-controlled homeland. A perusal of the AP photo archives indicates it's hard to find a world leader or leading reformer who hasn't spent time hearing from Bono. Here's a gallery of images placing the irrepressible Dubliner alongside the famous and powerful.

Fastjet, the pan-African low-cost carrier backed by Stelios Haji-Ioannou, will begin South African services in July with a Boeing 737-300 wet-leased from local operator Star Air Cargo. Division chief executive Kyle Haywood believes that the launch will restore price competition in a market dominated by two low-cost players - Comair's Kulula brand, and South African Airways' Mango subsidiary.
But the myriad legal difficulties Fastjet has endured since its November 2012 launch show no sign of abating, with Comair chief executive Erik Venter already hinting that his new rival's corporate structure may fall foul of South African law.
Fastjet's earlier, unsuccessful attempt at entering South Africa - by far the continent's largest low-cost market - hinged on proposals to take over 1time Airline, which was provisionally liquidated in late 2012 with debts of almost rand (R) 500 million ($59 million).
The London-listed company had planned to take over 1time's air operator's certificate and run reduced services with its fuel-guzzling Boeing MD-80 fleet, before gradually introducing the Airbus A319 type deployed at its Tanzania base. But strict foreign ownership laws that bar foreign companies from holding more than 25% of a domestic airline scuppered the deal.
Enter Blockbuster, an investment company associated with several high-profile citizens - including Edward Zuma, the son of South Africa's president - which now owns 75% of Fastjet's local venture. The arrangement involves Fastjet PLC providing top-level guidance to the subsidiary, with Federal Airlines conducting day-to-day operations, and Blockbuster - now renamed Fastjet Holdings - abiding by South Africa's foreign ownership laws. Problem solved, according to Haywood, but Comair's Venter is not convinced. He argues that Blockbuster is merely a "front" for foreign ownership, with all strategic decisions being taken in London, and the Fastjet brand merely functioning as a "virtual airline".
"We obviously disagree with what is being said by Erik Venter," says Haywood, noting that Comair's own British Airways franchise involves a "not too dissimilar" structure with the London-based flag carrier. "Our arrangement is legally compliant under South African aviation legislation...We have the airline flying in Tanzania - Fastjet is an operating concern - so I don't believe it is a virtual airline."
Uncertainty surrounding Blockbuster's history and structure has also raised some eyebrows. Despite owning 75% of the new venture - with Fastjet PLC holding the remainder - nothing has been disclosed about the precise roles of its directors, the most prominent of which are Zuma and Yusuf Kajee.
"There's no legal requirement to disclose actual stakes or responsibilities," Haywood confirms. "But all of the directors that sit within the company have had previous business interests, they've navigated through business environments in South Africa, they all bring different things to the table." Zuma comes from a legal background, Haywood notes, while others have aviation-specific expertise.
Although Fastjet's South African unit will undoubtedly face further scrutiny, few believe that the country's low-cost market is best left alone. An investigation by the local Sunday World newspaper found that since November 2011 - shortly before another low-cost carrier, Velvet Sky, ceased operations - the lowest fares on the Johannesburg-Cape Town trunk route have risen by 62%.
Perhaps more tellingly, the demise of 1time just seven months ago precipitated a doubling of Comair's share price. Little wonder that Venter is keen to preserve market share by warding off Fastjet.
There is one issue, however, on which the two rivals see eye-to-eye. "It's well documented that SAA has taken in quite a lot of subsidy from the state, and continues to do so," Haywood says. "If that is used to put them into a more competitive position, then that is a concern to any airline operating in this market." Referring to Comair's legal challenge to SAA's state guarantee, Haywood says he sees "a lot of merit" in the arguments voiced by Venter.
But Nico Bezuidenhout, chief executive of the flag carrier's Mango subsidiary, unequivocally rejects allegations of unfair competition. "Mango categorically does not require a bailout, has never required a bailout, and does not in any way, shape or form benefit from any recapitalisation," he insists.
Under the initial phase of its expansion, Fastjet expects to increase frequencies on its twice daily Johannesburg-Cape Town route, while also looking at a Cape Town-Durban service. Regional expansion will come after "a year or two", Haywood says.
The chief executive should expect his rivals to voice strong opposition at every stage of the airline's growth. But its South African partners are well placed to lend support, and its experience in dealing with legal disputes in Tanzania and Kenya should strengthen its resolve. "Fastjet has good potential to grow in South Africa," Haywood says confidently. "There is space for all of the players to operate a profitable business."

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there.
My 8 month old doesn't sleep longer than 4-5 hours at a time! Unfortunately the Cry it Out Method did not work like it did with my 20 month old. I don't know what to do!
The three key things to help a baby sleep through the night is (1) set sleep schedule that includes an early bedtime, (2) a consistent bedtime routine, and (3) falling asleep independently at bedtime. If your little one needs your help to fall asleep, then start with just making changes at bedtime, taking small steps until he is able to fall asleep on his own. For example, if your little nurses to sleep, then a first step is to move his feeding to the beginning of his bedtime routine but still rock him to sleep. Once he can fall asleep easily without needing to feed, then put him in his crib to fall asleep but stay and pat him. A few days later, sit halfway across his room. Slow and consistent changes will usually do the trick. If he, however, seems to be in pain during the night, be sure and talk to your health care provider.
The answers from our experts are for educational purposes only. Please always refer to your child's pediatrician and mental health expert for more in-depth advice.

1. Method of depositing a decorative wear resistant coating on a substrate, said substrate constituting at least a part of a decorative and/or utilitarian article, wherein during a first stage, ion bombardment of the substrate surface with gas ions is effected, vacuum deposition on the substrate surface is effected of a first layer of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of: titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten and aluminum, to which at least one element is added which is selected from the group consisting of: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, boron, silicon, fluorine, chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus, said one element being added in an increasing amount so that the proportion of said one element in the fist layer increases as said layer is deposited, a negative polarization being applied to said substrate and a selected variation of compression stresses in said first layer being produced during said vacuum deposition by increasing the negative polarization of said substrate; wherein, during a second stage, said first layer is activated by ion bombardment under vacuum, and a second thin layer of a metal and/or metallic alloy is deposited, at least partly simultaneously with said ion bombardment; and wherein during a third stage, a third metallic coating layer having decorative properties and a desired color is electroplated on said second layer.
2. Method according to claim 1, wherein, during a first phase of said second stage, said first layer is subjected to ion bombardment without depositing metal and/or alloy having decorative properties, and during a second phase of said second stage, ion bombardment of said first layer is continued while simultaneously depositing a second thin layer of metal and/or alloy having decorative properties.

4. Method according to claim 2, wherein said second thin layer is deposited of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of: gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, silver, iridium, osmium, rhenium, ruthenium and an alloy of gold with one of the elements of the group consisting of: indium, nickel, cobalt, cadmium, copper, silver, palladium, zinc, and antimony.
5. Method according to claim 2, wherein said second thin layer is deposited in a thickness between 100 and 10,000 Å.
6. Method according to claim 1, wherein during said third stage, said third layer is electroplated of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of: gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, silver, iridium, osmium, rhenium, ruthenium and an alloy of one of these metals with at least one other metal, and of an alloy of gold with at least one of the elements of the group consisting of: indium, nickel, cobalt, cadmium, copper, silver, palladium, zinc, and antimony.
The present invention relates to a method of depositing a decorative wear-resistant coating layer on a substrate, said substrate constituting at least a part of a decorative and/or utilitarian article.
The expressions "decorative metallic coating" and "metal having decorative properties" are commonly used in the art to designate metallic layers having a brilliant or polished appearance and a resistance to tarnishing and corrosion which are particularly appreciated and appropriate for use in decorative applications.
It also relates to decorative or utilitarian articles made by this method, in which esthetic appearance is important.
It is very often required that the surfaces of decorative articles have a golden colour. When these articles are not of solid gold, but are fabricated from a non-noble metal such as brass, stainless steel, zinc, etc. one may obtain this golden appearance by applying a surface layer of gold or a gold alloy, most frequently by electroplating. If it is desired that this coating be resistant to wear and to corrosion, its thickness must at least attain 10 micron.
To this end, an undercoating is generally electroplated, which is formed of a 14 to 18 carat precious metal alloy. But the corrosion resistance of these alloys is often insufficient, and their colour does not correspond exactly to the colours of solid alloys, such as those defined for example by the standards of the Swiss Watchmaking Industry NIHS 03-50 (1N14, 2N18, 3N, 4N, 5N alloy).
The corrosion resistance of gold platings, and also their colour, may be improved by electroplating a surface layer of gold alloy having a purity higher than or equal to 22 carats, and corresponding exactly to the desired colour.
Given the high price of gold, and its low resistance to wear, it has been sought to replace gold platings by hard coatings deposited under vacuum, or by vapour phase deposition. For example, titanium nitride coatings are generally applied, which are deposited by chemical vapour phase reaction, reactive evaporation, ion projection or cathodic sputtering, on decorative articles of metal, sintered metal carbides or nitrides, or ceramic material. These coatings have the advantage of being resistant to wear and having a golden appearance.
However, the colour obtained with these methods is only approximately that of gold, and a trained eye easily detects the difference. This lack of equivalence will be pointed out hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.
On the other hand, obtaining very dense and corrosion-resistant titanium nitride coatings by ion projection or cathodic sputtering, entails very high compression stress states in the layer, and consequently shear stresses between the layer and the base material which favour separation of the coating.
For an antiwear application, it is proposed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,857,682 to deposit under vacuum a fine gold layer on top of titanium nitride. This idea has been taken up in U.S. Pat. No. 4,252,862 and Swiss Pat. No. 631,040, applied to the field of decoration, with the object of giving the titanium nitride surface the exact colour of gold, or of a gold alloy. During utilization of an article thus coated, the wear of the gold coating occurs only at the sharp edged angles and makes apparent the colour of titanium nitride, whose colour is slightly distinguishable from the remainder of the coating.
To improve the brillance and colour conformity of titanium nitride coatings, Japanese publication No. 58.153.766 and European publication No. 38.294, describe a method of conjugated deposition of titanium nitride and gold, for forming on the whole or a part of the coating thickness a titanium nitride/gold compound. This procedure nevertheless seems to pose corrosion problems, and the colour obtained is also away from the standard colours of golden coatings.
Finally, the successive deposition of thin layers of titanium nitride and gold, by a vacuum process, also improves the brilliance of the coating.
All of these known methods unfortunately have as principal defects:
The risk of coating separation induced by shear stresses at the surface of contact of the titanium nitride and the base material.
Random, often poor adherence of gold on titanium nitride, except in the case of simultaneous deposition of titanium nitride and gold.
The difficulty of obtaining a standard colour by vacuum deposition, and especially of varying the colour as a function of the utilizers' demands, while the methods of depositing gold or gold alloy do not enable varying the final colour of the coating from one treatment to the other.
In the present invention, it is proposed to reduce these different difficulties and in particular to enable to considerably improve the resistance to wear, adherence and appearance of a deposit based on titanium nitride with a final gold coating.
This object is achieved by the method according to the invention, characterized in that during a first stage, vacuum deposition is effected on the surface of the substrate, of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of: titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, aluminium, to which at least one element is added, which is selected from the group consisting of: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, boron, silicon, fluorine, chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus, in that, during a second stage, this first layer is activated by ion bombardment under vacuum, and a second thin layer of a metal and/or a metallic alloy is deposited, at least partly simultaneously, and in that during a third stage, a third decorative metallic coating layer is electroplated on said second layer.
The present invention will be better understood with reference to the description of examples of embodiments and to the accompanying drawings wherein: FIG. 1 represents a schematic view illustrating the different phases of the method according to the invention,
FIG. 2 illustrates the principle of colour measurement according to the standard of the International Lighting Commission CIE 1976,
FIG. 3 is a graphical representation illustrating the brilliance of the coloured surface of a titanium nitride coating as a function of the amount of nitrogen it contains,
FIG. 4 illustrates the ratio of green and red colours reflected by a titanium nitride coating as a function of the amount of nitrogen it contains, and
FIG. 5 represents the ratio of blue and yellow colours reflected by a titanium nitride coating as a function of the amount of nitrogen it contains.
According to a particularly interesting embodiment, the described method consists in depositing under vacuum, for example by cathodic sputtering, by vacuum evaporation, or by ion projection, titanium in presence of nitrogen at the surface of a metallic or non metallic article 10 schematically represented in FIG. 1. During this deposition, the amount of nitrogen introduced into the treatment chamber varies continously from zero to a value defined by the desired result, in such a manner that the composition of the coating 11, starting from the bare surface of the article, varies progressively from pure titanium to titanium nitride having an approximately stoichiometric composition.
According to a particularly advantageous technique, the electric polarisation of the treated article is simultaneously varied, so as to progressively vary the mechanical compression stresses from a minimum value at the start of coating to a maximum value at the end of coating. One obtains in this manner a coating which, starting from the bare surface of the article, has a given gradient of nitrogen concentration and of mechanical stress. The coating obtained thereby has minimum shear stresses at the surface of contact of the article with the coating, as well as the desired optical, mechanical and anticorrosive properties.
After deposition of the first layer of titanium nitride, the method provides for preparing the top surface of this layer so as to render it more fit to subsequently receive a layer of gold or gold alloy, deposited by electroplating, having the desired final colour, as close as possible to a standard colour defined by the usual norms. To this end, an activation of the titanium nitride surface by intense ion bombardment is effected during a first stage of the second treatment phase. After this first treatment stage, the deposition of gold atoms, forming an intermediate layer 12, is effected, during a second stage of this second treatment phase. This deposition of gold atoms is effected under vacuum by evaporation, by ion projection or by cathodic sputtering, while continuing to effect ion bombardment of the titanium nitride surface. During this second stage, the strength of the ion bombardment is progressively reduced.
When this operation is achieved, the activated titanium nitride surface is ready to receive a layer 13 of pure gold or a gold alloy of high purity, deposited by electroplating, enabling to provide it with the desired colour. This colour can be modified at will by changing the composition of the electroplating bath or by modifying the process parameters defining the electroplating conditions. In this manner, different articles of the same batch, previously coated with a titanium nitride undercoating, then with a second thin gold layer, by a vacuum deposition method, may be coated with a final layer having different shades depending on the electroplating bath in which they have been respectively treated or on treatment conditions which have been modified.
The example of the embodiment described above, providing for applying a titanium nitride undercoating on an article, next depositing a thin gold layer by vacuum deposition, then effecting electroplating of this same metal, may be readily generalized and applied to different other metals.
The undercoating which may have a thickness lying between 0.1 and 20 micron, may be produced by vacuum deposition of at least one of the following metals: titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, aluminium. This deposition may be effected in presence of one of the following elements: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, boron, silicon, fluorine, chlorine, sulphur, phosphorus. As with titanium nitride, the proportion of these elements is increased progressively during the phase of vacuum deposition of the previously mentioned metals.
At the same time, as the coating thickness increases, the articles to be treated are polarized more and more negatively. This enables to obtain a coating having an increasing concentration of non metallic elements and having increasing mechanical stress states.
During a second phase of the method, intense ionic cleaning is effected, and a second thin metallic layer is deposited, partly simultaneously, which may be of gold or a gold alloy, but also of one or several precious metals such as for example platinum, palladium, rhodium, silver, iridium, osmium, rhenium and ruthenium. This second layer preferably has a thickness lying between 100 and 10,000 Å.
The final layer is next deposited by electroplating on the metallic coating constituting the second layer. This electroplating is in general of gold or a high-carat gold alloy, for example a gold alloy of at least 22 carats comprising, as alloying element, indium, nickel, cobalt, cadmium, copper, silver, palladium, zinc or antimony. However, this deposit may also be formed of one or more precious metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, silver, iridium, osmium, rhenium or ruthenium, or an alloy of one of these metals with one or several other metals, or possibly of a non-precious metal or alloy.
The thickness of the surface layer, obtained by electroplating under clearly defined conditions enabling to obtain the desired shade and appearance, preferably lies between 0.1 and 30 micron.
The method enables treating the surface of an article so as to cover it with a hard adherent and corrosion resistant layer having approximately the desired colour, and then producing on this undercoating a final coating having exactly the desired colour and adhering perfectly to this undercoating.
Various articles may be treated in this manner. For example a watch case of stainless steel, previously degreased and dried, is placed in a cathodic sputtering chamber under vacuum. During a first stage, it undergoes ion bombardment with argon ions, so as to eliminate the last superficial traces of contaminant. The article is next negatively polarized to several tens of volts, and deposition of titanium by cathodic sputtering is begun. As the coating thickness grows, the electric polarization of this article is progressively increased, and an increasing flow of nitrogen is introduced into this chamber, so as to deposit a titanium nitride compound which is increasingly rich in nitrogen. At the end of the titanium nitride deposition, when the coating thickness reaches one micron, the polarization of the article may amount to a value lying between 150 and 250 volts, and the proportion of nitrogen atoms in the titanium nitride will be approximately 50%. The surface colour of the coating is then close to that of gold.
The next operation consists in bombarding the titanium nitride layer with argon ions. As the strength of this bombardment is decreased, a fine layer of gold is deposited by cathodic sputtering, with an increasing flux of gold atoms, until this layer attains a thickness of 0.1 micron. The watch case is then removed from the chamber. It is given the final surface colour by electroplating a coating of 0.3 micron of 22 carat gold alloy containing traces of indium and nickel, the color of which corresponds to the standard 2N 18.
According to another example, it is wished to deposit on the outer surface of a ball point pen tube of brass a fine layer of rhodium having good resistance to wear. After treating the surface by nickel electroplating, the article is introduced into the cathodic sputtering chamber where it undergoes the same treatment as in the previous example. During the deposition of titanium, nitrogen is replaced by a hydrocarbon, for example methane, so as to deposit a titanium carbide with an increasing proportion of carbon. Following the titanium carbide deposition, and simultanously with the ion bombardment of the surface, a thin silver layer is deposited by cathodic sputtering.
A last layer of rhodium is next electroplated on top of the silver until this layer attains a thickness of 0.3 micron.
FIG. 2 illustrates the principle of measurement of the colour of light reflected by the surface of an article according to the Standard CIE 1976 of the International Lighting Commission. Three variables are measured and correspond to three axes defining a three-dimensional orthogonal reference system. The axis L defines the brillance, the axis -a, +a corresponds to the two complementary colours green and red respectively. The axis -b, +b corresponds to the two complementary colours blue and yellow respectively.
FIG. 3 represents a diagram of comparison between the brillance of titanium nitride and different standard gold alloys. In the ordinate, the brillance is represented in arbitary units and in the abscissa the nitrogen proportion entering into the titanium nitride composition, according to an arbitary unit. The brillance of the surface of a titanium nitride coating is represented by a curve 20. The brillance of different gold alloys is represented by a series of points. It is noted that the brillance of all the standard alloys represented is superior to all titanium nitride compounds.
FIG. 4 represents the amount of green and red light reflected on one hand by a titanium nitride coating and on the other hand by different standard gold alloys. As before, the proportion of nitrogen in the titanium nitride compound plots the abscissa according to arbitary units. The curve 21 represents the amount of green and red light reflected by the titanium nitride coating.
FIG. 5 represents the amount of blue and yellow light respectively reflected by a titanium hydride coating and by various coatings of standard gold alloys. As before, the proportion of nitrogen contained in the titanium nitride plots the abscissa according to arbitrary units. Curve 22 represents the amount of blue and yellow light reflected by the titanium nitride coating as a function of its composition. The blue and yellow light reflected by the different alloys is represented by a series of points.
It is noted that whatever the nitrogen content of the titanium nitride may be, it is impossible to make a given standard alloy coincide exactly with a point of the curves representing titanium nitride. If one takes for example the alloy 5N, the nearest point M on the curve 21 corresponds to a titanium nitride whose nitrogen content lies between four and five while the nearest point on the curve 22 corresponds to a titanium nitride whose nitrogen content lies between three and four.
The same may be ascertained for the other standard gold alloys. Consequently, it is impossible to obtain a surface coating of titanium nitride which has exactly the appearance of a standard gold alloy, whence one of the main advantages of the described method.
It is clearly understood that the method is not limited to treatment of the articles described by way of example, but may be extended to various other articles which are purely decorative or to practical articles for which appearance is of great interest.

The Washington Post
May 9, 2006Theater J RevisitedBy Jane Horwitz
Theodore Bikel will return to Theater J in Arnold Wesker's "Shylock" (May 13-15, 2007) during the Shakespeare in Washington festival.
The English-language premiere of Israeli writer Motti Lerner's "Pangs of the Messiah" (June 23-July 15, 2007) was inadvertently omitted from last week's description of Theater J's coming season. The 1986 play has been rewritten, imagining events in Israel/Palestine in 2009. Israeli director Sinai Peter will stage it. The play is part of "Voices From a Changing Middle East," a June 23-July 29 festival that will include readings, workshops and a young playwrights program in association with the Kennedy Center's American College Theater Festival.
The same Backstage column described "Sleeping Arrangements" (Jan. 9-Feb. 18, 2007) as adapted by Laura Shaine Cunningham from a novel; it is based on her memoir.
And Robert Brustein's lecture, "Drama as Secular Religion," has been rescheduled for Oct. 16.

Why did you make
the film?
I wanted to accomplish three things with the movie:
1. I wanted to make a film that would get attention and also
make people laugh.
2. I wanted to make a movie that was pro-peace and offered
a message of hope.
3. I wanted to address the situation in an even-handed and
balanced way so that Jewish and Arab audiences would feel
fairly represented enough to let their guard down and laugh
WITH the characters from the "other side". I thought,
if we can make a movie that Israelis will watch and like the
Arab characters and that Arabs will watch and like the Israeli
characters then that will be something valuable.
What problems did you encounter in making the film?
Many people said you can't make a film that's
a comedy about a tragedy like the Middle East conflict. They
said that no one wants to see that and you will end up offending
every Jew and Arab in America. I was also advised against
making a short movie that takes place in another country because
it would be too expensive. They insisted I would never be
able to pull it off and it would look student and cheap.
What do you want the viewer to take away from the
I sometimes get remarks about the film being too simplistic
and that it does not accurately show the suffering of any
one side. I agree, it IS simplistic because it has to be in
order to be a comedy. This film is not meant to be a learning
tool for the situation in the Middle East. It is not an historical
explanation, or a political solution on screen. It is a movie
about HOPE and PEACE and that is it. It is meant to counteract
the multitudes of negative documentaries and news reports
that, while very informative, usually seem to be skewed to
one side and ALWAYS leave the viewer feeling like this conflict
will go on forever. I truly believe that peace between Israelis
and Arabs will be achieved and don't believe it is a
hopeless endeavor. We wanted to make a film that would convey
that feeling.
What was the process of making the film?
It took myself and my co-writer, Kim Ray, 5 months to write
the script. It took another 7 months to produce the film,
gather the donations and find the cast and crew. We then shot
the film in 14 days which is long for a short film but there
are 7 dance numbers and each one has an Israeli side and Palestinian
side so it doubled our time. It took another 5 months to edit.
The total time to make the film was about a year and a half
before it premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival
What has been the response from Jews and Arabs?
The response has been overwhelmingly positive from both sides.
I have had requests for Dvd's from professors from Qatar,
libraries in Egypt, soldiers in Israel, Palestinian families
in Gaza, Elementary school teachers in Haifa, Jewish and Arab
film festivals all over the United States, and the list goes
on. The film played at the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival
and the Tel Aviv University Student Film Festival in Israel.
It also played at the Dubai International Film Festival to
a very warm reception and was screened there more than any
other film at the festival. It was one of the best screening
experiences I have ever had.
What is your background? Are you from the Middle
I was born in the United States and am the son of an Israeli
father and an American mother. I studied Islam, Judaism, and
the History of the Middle East in college and have traveled
the Middle East extensively having been to Israel (almost
every year), Palestine, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, and
Dubai. I currently have family that live throughout Israel.
Where did you shoot the film?
The film was shot in Santa Clarita just outside of Los Angeles.
A man named Rene Veluzet built an "Arab village"
on his ranch designed specifically with the intention of shooting
films there. It is really the only set like it in Los Angeles
that can be used for an Arab town and is frequently used by
studios, TV shows, and independent films that need to shoot
Los Angeles for the Middle East.
What did you shoot the film on and what was your technical
West Bank Story was shot with a partially donated camera package
from Panavasion. We used a Panaflex Golden G2 camera, set
of Primo prime lenses and a Primo zoom. We also used 1/4 Black
Promist filtration to subtly soften the image and help highlights
'bloom' a bit, and added varying grades of Antique Suede and
Coral filtration as well for the exterior scenes to strengthen the warm tones of the
set, production design, and locations, including the dirt
ground. The idea was to subtly emulate a classic high-key,
high production-value, Hollywood look.
With a partial donation from Fuji Film, we shot 2 F-series
Fuji stocks: Fuji 250D (8562) for day exteriors and interiors,
and Fuji 500T (8572) for night exteriors and interiors.
We then finessed the look through digital intermediate color
timing donated by Modern
Video Film, subtly accentuating the color palette (the poppy
reds of the Hummus Hut set and wardrobe, the saturated blues
of the Kosher King, etc).
How did you cast your actors?
Balance and even-handedness were very important in making
this movie, the same was true with the casting. In some respects,
I knew this would be one of the few times an Arab would be
depicted in an American film representing the Palestinian
cause and vice versa for the Israelis. I DID NOT want to do
what was done in old Westerns which was to cast white people
to play the parts of the Native Americans. I knew the film
would be scrutinized so I wanted to make sure that both sides
were fairly represented.
I knew I had a responsibility to cast either Arabs or Muslims
for the roles of the Palestinians and Israelis or Jews for
the roles of the Israelis if I wanted the film to be credible.
I was lucky enough to hook up with Steven Helgoth, a reputable
casting director in Los Angeles. We put out ads in the Breakdowns,
called agents, and it took about a month to find the right
people. All of the actors are professional actors and are
now working on other projects and doing well.
I have been asked by many reporters whether the actors squabbled
on set given their backgrounds. I find this question to be
quite comical. The reality is that none of the actors knew
each other before we shot the film but we have all become
very good friends and hang out on a regular basis - Jews,
Arabs, and everyone in between. The situation in the Middle
East has never played a role in whether any of us can get
What film festivals has it been to?
It has been to over 115 film festivals and won 25 awards.
It has played all over the United States and on every continent
except Africa. Click on "Festivals" for more details.
Who did the music and what role did it play?
The music was created by Yuval Ron, a very well known and
accomplished Israeli composer, who lives in Los Angeles. He
has a tremendous knowledge and skill for combining Arabic
music and Israeli/Jewish music together. He is also classically
trained and was instrumental in making the ethnic sounds work
with a Jazz and Broadway spine. I knew from the beginning
that the music would be essential in further accentuating
the characters and the flavor of the movie. Yuval, Kim (co-writer),
and I worked for months before we even began producing the
film to develop the sound, the songs, and the lyrics. Yuval
was a crucial element in the overall feel of West Bank Story.
This soundtrack is also one of the few examples that I know
of that combines Palestinian-style rhythms with Jewish Klezmer
sounds and then adds it to American Broadway. Very cool if
I do say so myself.
How is making a short film different?
Short Films differ from studio and feature films because you
don't have a major studio to back you up, you don't
usually have big name actors, and you definitely don't
ever have the money you need to make your vision a reality.
Therefore, it relies on perseverance, fortitude, stick-to-it-ivenes,
and an ability to hustle. It requires an incredible amount
of loyalty and dedication from a cast and crew who are doing
it for pennies, if not, for nothing. It is really the very
essence of filmmaking because those involved do it because
they love the project or they just love filmmaking.
How did you get the movie made?
We were able to make the movie with a lot of help and donations
from people in the industry and from friends and family. I
was able to get a very effective and helpful group of industry
and USC mentors including Barbara Corday, Brenda Goodman,
Jeremy Kagan, Robert Chartoff, Dion Beebe, David Wasco, Gary
Lucchessi, Moshe Barkat. and Gary Credle. These people were
a huge help in making this film possible and enabling the
ambitiousness of the project to be realized.

Habitat for Humanity ReStore gets reboot in Portland
PORTLAND — Just beyond the entrance to the new Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland ReStore lies a hulking seven-foot service counter that was cobbled together from discarded antique doors, ornate trim and scraps of mahogany.
"We wanted this to be exemplary of what we do here," employee and carpenter Andrew Smith said.
Smith and several sawdust-covered coworkers and volunteers were in the final stages of site work recently at 649 Warren Ave. The new store is scheduled to celebrate its reopening from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19. The event will include a "food truck festival," ribbon cutting, an invocation by a reverend and presentations by Habitat Executive Director Godfrey Wood, state Sen. Justin Alfond and City Manager Mark Rees.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit group that builds affordable homes for qualified buyers; ReStore is its revenue-generating arm. The store offers new and used building materials, such as windows, doors, cabinets and lighting fixtures, that have been donated by contractors, stores or homeowners. The new location will also sell furniture.
The group has high hopes for the new storefront. At its old location on Bell Street, the store generated about $350,000 a year. That number could skyrocket, said Wood, who is married to Karen Wood, publisher of The Forecaster.
"We're projecting the ReStore will do close to $750,000 in sales in its first year," he said. "Roughly out of every $100,000 in sales, we generate enough to build another home."
Wood cited three factors for the projected growth: a facility that's three times as big, a location that's highly visible and improved brand recognition.
"Restores across the country have been tremendously successful," he said. "It's a great brand. People love shopping there. We've got lots of inventory and the pricing is just spot on."
For instance, new materials that are donated to ReStore are sold at 50 percent of retail value, he said.
Steve Barmore, store manager, said there was 5,000 square feet of selling space at the old location compared to 15,000 now. Also, the old location was difficult to find.
"Our most frequent call was: 'Where are you?'" he said. "Now we're right across the street from Home Depot. We're near Handyman Rental. Hammond Lumber is across the street," Barmore said. "We're right along to way to Riverside recycling. If you're going to the dump (with building supplies), you can stop here and see if we'll take it.
"We're really excited. We think we can do a lot better business here."
It's not that the old shop was lacking, either, said store employee Alexa Plotkin. The Bell Street location ranked 30th out of 800 nationwide stores in dollars in sales per square foot.
"We've done really well," she said.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland was established in 1985. Since then, the group has built 57 homes in the region – a pace that is comparable to other affiliates, Communications Manager Laura Duplissis said.
"We're definitely looking to increase the number of homes we do every year and continue to grow," she said.
Each home is built by hundreds of volunteers, plus a Habitat for Humanity construction manager who is always on the job site and paid contractors who handle any hazardous work, such as roofing, Duplissis said.
Qualifying for a home requires a lengthy application process. Qualifications are based on income and one's ability to help with the project and repay a no-interest mortgage. The people who will eventually inhabit the homes are required to volunteer either at the job site or in the administration office, she said.

COLUMBIA — Steve Spurrier listed the accomplishments out loud, so everyone could hear. Maybe he was trying to get his point across to the media throng Tuesday afternoon. Perhaps he was trying to believe it himself.
Just a season ago, Florida was near the pinnacle of college football. The Gators capped an 11-1 regular season with a win over hated rival Florida State. They represented the SEC at the Sugar Bowl. Coach Will Muschamp was the SEC Coach of the Year, and nobody was surprised.
"They were No. 3 in the nation in the BCS poll," Spurrier said, pounding his message home. "If Notre Dame had lost to Southern Cal, they were playing Alabama for the national championship."
Just a season ago, all was right in Gainesville. The way it should be. The way legions of Gators fans have come to expect over decades of dominance.
Spurrier reminded everyone this week, because everyone needed to be reminded. Last season feels like a long time ago.
What is the recipe for a collapse? First came Florida's shocking upset loss to Louisville in the Sugar Bowl last January. Then, this season, came an injury plague so devastating it depleted a team that was ranked No. 10 in The Associated Press preseason poll.
Seven Florida starters have been lost for the season with injuries, including starting quarterback Jeff Driskel and star defensive tackle Dominique Easley. Driskel's backup, Tyler Murphy, is questionable this week with a shoulder injury.
Rest assured, there will be no pity for a program that has kicked around much of the SEC since Spurrier coached there in the 1990s.
"At the end of the day, they're still Florida," USC senior cornerback Jimmy Legree said. "They're still a great team historically, and we've just got to prepare well and get ready."
As the injuries mounted, so have the losses.
The Gators have dropped four straight games, sinking to 4-5 this season. When South Carolina hosts Florida for a 7 p.m. kickoff Saturday on ESPN2, it will be the first team in 21 years to play the Gators when they've had a losing record.
Florida had held the SEC's longest streak without a losing record going back to Oct. 10, 1992. Now, every SEC East team has been below .500 in the past two seasons, except South Carolina. The Gamecocks have the SEC's third-longest streak without a losing record, behind LSU and Alabama of the SEC West.
"It's weird to see that number," USC defensive line coach Deke Adams said of Florida's record, "but it's not weird because in this conference you've got to play week in and week out. There are no weeks off. I don't care what type of situation they're in, there are no weeks off."
Every program has its bad stretches, even the great ones. It's more than the losses that have made Muschamp's seat uncomfortable this fall. It's the way they've lost.
The Gators were embarrassed against Vanderbilt, 34-17, on Saturday inside The Swamp, only the second time in program history Florida lost to Vandy at home. The first came in 1945.
"I think a lot has been made that Vanderbilt beat them," Spurrier said. "You know, Vanderbilt did beat Georgia this year. It is not a disgrace to lose to Vanderbilt. They're a pretty good team that plays smart and usually don't beat themselves."
Maybe there's no disgrace in losing to Vanderbilt, which has built a solid reputation under coach James Franklin. For Florida, there's plenty of shame in finishing a season with a losing record, which hasn't been done in Gainesville since 1979. There's plenty of disappointment in missing a bowl game, something the Gators haven't done since 1990 — Spurrier's first season at his alma mater.
With three games left, both scenarios are likely. Florida must beat No. 11 South Carolina and No. 2 Florida State in order to avoid those negative milestones.
Spurrier, for his part, didn't take the bait when asked about Florida's struggles this season. He remembers last fall, the drubbing his team took at The Swamp, and what could happen if South Carolina doesn't fully focus on its opponent.
"We don't really look at their record too much," Spurrier said. "We look at their team, their players, what kind of scheme they have, and so forth. We know they are very capable of coming in here and beating us. We've struggled at home against most all the team's we've played, as we all know.
"That's the only thing we need to worry about, how we play and how we prepare this week to play Florida. It is as simple as that. That is all we need to worry about."
