Les Châteaux de la Loire
... truly a gourmet meal and we left feeling satisfied but not over-filled as is often the case at North American restaurants. Our final stop for the day was a field of sunflowers in our way home to take some beautiful sunset shots. Day 2 we decided to do something different. We borrow a couple of bikes from our host and hit the trails. There are many bicycles paths in the area and I think we would need a couple of weeks to explore them all. We rode amongst the ...
Loire a Velo Day 1 - Orleans to Beaugency
... it would rain soon, so we pedalled hard to get to our destination before the rain would start. The path followed a farm on one side and park on the other side closer to the river. This area was swampy and the path was covered in swarms of small bugs. We were pelted by bugs for 10km, my legs and arms were covered in small bugs that stuck to my sweaty hairy skin. Helen got some bugs in her ear that buzzed loudly and she killed it ...
Blissful Blois
... other chateaux - 7 kings and 10 queens. The Ch�teau was basically across the street from our hotel and dominates the Centre Ville as it is located on a hilltop. It's a stunning Renaissance building opening onto a big square and was built between the 13th and 17th C. It was the residence of several French kings and the place where Joan of Arc went in 1429 to be blessed by the Archbishop of Reims before departing with her army to drive the English from Orl�ans.
Overnight, Marboue
... I have no internet. I try the French couple parked next to us. They fiddle about with it, but, seem to think it has not worked.
I cycle the 2 miles back down the road to McDonalds, to use their Wifi to do my essential banking transaction.
When I get back, I fiddle around some more with the Orange SIM card, suddenly, it works, problem is, I do not know what I did to make it work!
Turns out, that was a false alarm, still not working!
Loire valley - time for some Chateaus!
... the permanent garden of Charmont which acted as a retreat from the hot weather, was like a tiny paradise away from France with the Indonesian inspired jungle, river running through, lush greenery and mist rising up. It even had mosquitos - a genuine experience!
After 3 days of Chateau hunting (we also saw the rather forgettable Chateau Blois) and wonderful bike riding we were excited to be heading off into the sleepy Dordogne area for some tranquility and different French ...

Filter Paper
Friday, 21 June 2013
I was doing a demonstration last week using filter paper from Stampin' Up! and I have fallen in love with this product. It has so many uses. I am going to show you just one of them today. It can be stamped on and coloured with ink like ordinary paper or card but it has the look of fabric so you can easily achieve a faux silk or a coloured canvas look.
It is stronger than the tissue gift wrap paper that I have used in the past to create a faux silk look and it has a smooth side and slightly textured side. It is the textured side that I like to stamp on.
Once you have stamped on the filter paper, you need to adhere it onto a base card, remembering whatever your base colour is, it will show through the filter paper. I adhered the stamped framed bird filter paper onto neutrals ivory card and then trimmed it as shown above.
The flowers on this card were stamped on filter paper, then adhered to card that had already been embossed with the oval chervon pattern, (I used early expresso ink and clear embossing powder). I glued the filter paper on top of the oval chervon pattern using an anywhere glue stick, the pattern still showed through but it wasn't as bold.
When gluing the filter paper down you want to retain as many of the wrinkles as possible so that it looks like crushed silk. After it is all stuck down, then cut it out and it will be ready to be matted onto your card. (I cut this one out using an ovals framelit).
This last card is slightly different as all the filter paper has been coloured with different colours to create a canvas look background. The instructions on how to do this can be found here http://monicas-passions.blogspot.co.nz/2013/04/coffee-filter-paper-rainbow-technique.html
Crazy for Punch Art
Friday, 07 June 2013
I hope you are not sick of my punch art samples yet but I have been making some to put up on my pinterest page. You can check me out on pinterest. My user name is rhondalyn022
It can be a time comsuming addiction... so many great ideas all in one place.
Anyway here are my offerings this week-
I have made this bunny before in blue and pink for baby cards but this time decided to go more natural. He is made with the blossom petal builder punch, full heart and the extra large oval. The flowers are also from the blossom petal builder punch. As I have said on my last post, it is only available for another couple of weeks as it is on the retiring list.
My other sample is another card candy idea.
Again, I have made one of two of these before in different colours and sizes for my birdhouse circle journal but putting them all together like this makes a special gift for a scrapbooker or cardmaker, don't you think?
Happy Crafting from Rhonda
Scallop Trim border punch
Tuesday, 21 May 2013
I have been playing around with the scallop trim border punch and have made all sorts of lacy borders by punching both sides of a long and thin strip of card. Then I tried threading ribbon through the holes and was very pleased with how it turned out. The only thing is that you do have to be very accurate about lining up the punch to achieve this look. I found someone else on line who did the same thing as me but she used 3 separate strips which is much easier and you are less likely to make mistakes. Her name is Linda Fisher and you can find her at lindas-stampinloft.blogspot
This card above I was planning to teach at a class. It features a punch art teapot by Ellen Kempler. This cute teapot punch art uses the blossom petal builder punch; - The largest leaf with scallop top and second smallest leaf. I designed a tea cup to match using the second largest leaf. Unfortunately this punch will soon be retired by Stampin' Up! so I didn't end up teaching it. However the punch will still be available for a few more weeks yet so if you want it, email me asap and I will order one for you.
Cutting guide above shows you the pieces used. Discard those pieces with an x beside them.
Below is a tag with the tea set punch art once more, and an example of the lacy type border that you get when using the scallop trim border punch on both sides of a really narrow strip of card.
Below is the second card I made with the ribbon border and this is what I ended up teaching.
Lastly I have been making up embellishment sets to give away. Here's one of my favourites, using mostly cherry cobbler cardstock.
Punch Art Koala
Wednesday, 15 May 2013
I decided to do an extra post this week so that I could show you the card I made for my room mate at the Stampin' Up! convention in Australia. I am heading off next tuesday and am so looking forward to it.
Also my card fitted in well with the JUST ADD INK #165 challenge this week which was to just add woodgrain...
It was fairly easy to make using the following punches: ears - blossom petal builder & 2.2cm scallop circle, face - ornament, nose - word window, body - 1/2 of a 6.4cm circle, arms and legs - piece punched from 6.4cm circle and then inserted into blossom punch to form paws.
Inside of the card has gum leaves made from the retired leaves die and a gumnut made from pieces of the mitten and stocking punch.
Gold marker pen
Friday, 10 May 2013
I have two cards for you this week that use the gold dazzle marker pen. It is one of those must-haves (along with the silver pen) as they add a touch extra to cards and are so affordable.
Thanks Card
This was made for me as a swap by a Hamilton demonstrator about 3 to 4 years ago. She has used a ton of different techniques to make a really stunning card. Note the gold pen around the edges.
Hi Beautiful!
I made this "make up set" punch art for a 14 year old girl's birthday. The gold marker was perfect for adding a fine edge around all the black containers and for highlights on the lipstick container.
New Ideas with Embossing Folders
Wednesday, 01 May 2013
I was making some more punch art cards to show you this week and I wanted a large dotty background for my first card. As I don't have a large dotty background stamp, I decided to use my perfect polka dots embossing folder instead. I have seen this done before to emboss colour onto card but I didn't want any embossing, just the image only.
And it turned out great. Keep reading for steps on how to do this easy technique...
Sweet Friend Card
Beehive made from word window punch and bird wing.
Bee made from blossom petal builder punch (smallest petal) and itty bitty circle. Wings are the small heart cut in half.
Clucky Hen Card
This punch art was made from the bird punch for the head and wing and an extra large oval for the body.
The background for this card is an inked honeycomb embossing folder which has then been "stamped" or pressed onto white card.
Thanks So Much Card
This is one more sample of using an embossing folder like a stamp.
Here are the steps to creating this background:
1. Ink up the raised side of your embossing folder, that is the bottom side, without the stampin up logo on. Just tap your ink pad all over so that the raised portion of the embossing folder is coated in ink. Wipe away any visible ink that is on the folder but not on the raised portions.
2. Lay your embossing folder on a table with the inked raised side at the top and the deep grooved side at the bottom. Place your cardstock on the bottom, on the uninked side of the embossing folder. Bring the top down and press evenly all over with the palm of your hand to transfer the image.
3. Carefully lift the embossing folder up and take out your card. If you pressed firmly and evenly, it should look like this.
With a couple of tries you will know how much pressure to use. You don't want to press too hard as you don't want to emboss it. You just want to be firm enough to transfer the ink evenly.
Cards for boys
Monday, 22 April 2013
Hi there,
I hope you are not sick of punch art yet as I have quite a bit more coming up this week and in the weeks ahead. Carrying on with the cards for kids, I have made some especially for the boys this week.
Birthday Bugs
I just purchased the spider web embossing folder and wanted to use it for a boy's card. I came up with a few different bugs and flies etc. They are all made using just two punches! The jewellery tag punch and the owl builder punch. All fairly easy to punch but fiddly to put together as there are so many little pieces.
Electric Guitar
Having guitar players in my family inpsired me to make this card. I have seen similar ones to this before. I made mine using the heart framelits from Stampin' Up! to create the body of the guitar and the decorative label punch (double punched) to make the head. The small tuners are made from the candle flame of the cupcake punch. The swirls on either side of the guitar body are made from the owl body (double punched). The neck of the guitar is just a strip of card.
Cards for little kids
Friday, 12 April 2013
I had some spare time this week which was so nice and I spent a day in my craft room playing with my punches.
I decided to create some cards for little kids so that I had some to give away when the need arises.
These cards I made just for fun, using new and retired Stampin' Up! products...
you may recognise some of these television characters.
Wild About You & Hugs and Kisses
This top card you would have seen before as many people have made these characters using the scallop circle punch.
The bottom card is my impression of 'Ernie'.
I got a bit carried away making up these characters. Rather than make several cards with these characters, I made up an embellishment pack, now I can make them into cards or use on scrapbooking layouts later on.
The two easiest ones which I would definately make again were the frog and piggy. Both use the ornament punch as the base for the face. There are a couple of retired punches too but you could adapt and use the blossom petal builder punch instead, (for the piggy's ears and the frog's collar).
Happy Birthday Girl
This card has some retired cardstock on and a compass stamp from the 'sentimental journey' stamp set which was just perfect for this explorer girl. I tried out a new idea / technique for this punch art that I created. I wanted my punch art to look cartoony and so rather than sponge all the pieces to give definition, I drew around the edges with a marker pen.
Let me know what you think of this outling technique. Do you love it or hate it? Please leave a comment.
Thanks from Rhonda

Capitals forward Jason Chimera says players simply want their contracts to be paid in full.
Capitals Talk
Locked out of the NHL and his hometown Swedish Elite League, Nicklas Backstrom is just glad to play hockey.
The Capitals were forced to cancel 10 games in the month of October, including a Halloween visit by Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
With just four players on the ice on Friday, some Capitals are weighing their options of where to go now.
When the players' three proposals were rejected by the owners, the NHL moved closer to having its entire season in peril.

WASHINGTON – Volumes of US pork exports were slightly higher in September compared to the comparable month in 2011, according to the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF). However, the value of pork exports through the third quarter of 2012 was ahead of last year's record-setting pace.
September pork exports reached 183,853 metric tons, a slight increase over the 2011 total, according to USMEF. Export value declined 6 percent to $505 million; however it was about 2 percent higher than the August value of $495.5 million.
For January through September, pork exports gained 2 percent in volume at 1.657 million metric tons and up 6 percent in value to $4.6 billion, USMEF said. Exports were to 23.6 percent of muscle cut production and 27 percent when including both muscle cuts and variety meat (compared to 2011 ratios of 22.8 percent and 27 percent). Export value was $56.16 per head slaughtered, 4.5 percent above the per-head average established during the comparable period in 2011.
USMEF said September beef production declined 9 percent and exports fell 17 percent in volume to 90,538 metric tons due to fewer production days this year. September export value eased 4 percent to $442.8 million, but remained significantly higher on a per-head-of-fed-slaughter basis — increasing 7 percent to $227.65.
Mexico was the strongest market for September pork exports at 51,510 metric tons, an increase of 24 percent, with a value at $92.8 million (an increase of 7 percent). For the year, exports to Mexico were 15 percent higher in volume (443,442 metric tons) and 11 percent higher in value ($820 million). Mexico is the leading volume market for US pork and ranks second in value to Japan, USMEF said.
September exports to Japan declined but remained on pace for an excellent year, according to USMEF. Through the first nine months of 2012, export value to Japan gained 4 percent to $1.495 billion despite a 6 percent decline in volume to 344,362 metric tons.
Exports to Canada posted grew 14 percent in the January-September period with a volume of 172,812 metric tons and value climbing 16 percent to $628.2 million. September export volume was a record at 22,229 metric tons, breaking the 2011 record set in August.
Exports to Central and South America continue to surge, led by outstanding growth in Colombia, USMEF said. Exports through September were 20 percent higher in both volume (60,739 metric tons) and value ($154.5 million) compared to 2011. For Colombia, exports advanced 74 percent in volume (12,350 metric tons) and 110 percent in value ($35.1 million). September export volume to Colombia also set a monthly record at 2,131 metric tons.
January-September exports to the China/Hong Kong region were ahead of last year's pace in both volume (313,425 metric tons, up 4 percent) and value ($632.4 million, up 21 percent). China's domestic pork inventory, however, is much higher than a year ago and exports in the fourth quarter are unlikely to match last year. Accordingly, September exports of 30,788 metric tons were the highest since May but were still 35 percent lower than the September 2011 volume, according to USMEF.

Article: Ionic Switch Induced by a Rectangular-Hexagonal Phase Transition in Benzenammonium Columnar Liquid Crystals[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We demonstrate switching of ionic conductivities in wedge-shaped liquid-crystalline (LC) ammonium salts. A thermoreversible phase transition between the rectangular columnar (Colr) and hexagonal columnar (Colh) phases is used for the switch. The ionic conductivities in the Colh phase are about four orders of magnitude higher than those in the Colr phase. The switching behavior of conductivity can be ascribed to the structural change of assembled ionic channels. X-ray experiments reveal a highly ordered packing of the ions in the Colr phase which prevent the ion transport.Journal of the American Chemical Society 09/2015; DOI:10.1021/jacs.5b09076 · 12.11 Impact Factor
Article: Formation of Helically Structured Chitin/CaCO3 Hybrids through an Approach Inspired by the Biomineralization Processes of Crustacean Cuticles[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chitin/CaCO3 hybrids with helical structures are formed through a biomineralization-inspired crystallization process under ambient conditions. Liquid-crystalline chitin whiskers are used as helically ordered templates. The liquid-crystalline structures are stabilized by acidic polymer networks which interact with the chitin templates. The crystallization of CaCO3 is conducted by soaking the templates in the colloidal suspension of amorphous CaCO3 (ACC) at room temperature. At the initial stage of crystallization, ACC particles are introduced inside the templates, and they crystallize to CaCO3 nanocrystals. The acidic polymer networks induce CaCO3 crystallization. The characterization of the resultant hybrids reveals that they possess helical order and homogeneous hybrid structures of chitin and CaCO3 , which resemble the structure and composition of the exoskeleton of crustaceans. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Article: Liquid‐Crystalline Biomacromolecular Templates for the Formation of Oriented Thin Film Hybrids Composed of Ordered Chitin and Alkaline‐Earth Carbonate[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Macroscopically ordered inorganic thin films have been formed on unidirectionally oriented, liquid-crystalline chitin matrices. In the presence of poly(acrylic acid), unidirectionally oriented chitin films act as templates for the formation of oriented thin-film crystals of alkaline-earth carbonate, SrCO3 and BaCO3. The morphology and orientation of crystals are dependent on the metal ion concentration. For SrCO3 crystallization, unidirectional thin films and hexagonal-shaped thin films have been deposited from 200 and 25 mM concentration strontium solutions, respectively. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

ABSTRACT: It is fundamentally important to study the relationships between structures and properties of liquid crystals. Professor G.W. Gray developed new rod-like nematic liquid crystals, 4-alkyl- and 4-alkoxy-4ʹ-cyanobiphenyls, which act as materials for stable informational liquid crystal displays. This molecule was invented based on his deep understanding of the relationships of chemical structure and physical properties of liquid crystals. After the discovery of nematogenic liquid crystals for display application, the advent of the molecular design and synthesis of liquid crystals has produced a variety of new family of functional liquid crystals. For example, as a new twist of rigid rod mesogens, oligothiophene rings have emerged recently. Due to their extended π-conjugated systems, oligothiophene-based liquid crystals exhibit various electronic and optical functions. In this review, we describe the impact of Professor Gray's nematic liquid crystals as well as the structures and functions of oligothiophene-based liquid crystals.Liquid Crystals 06/2015; 42(5):1-9.

Article: Tuning of morphology and polymorphs of carbonate/polymer hybrids using photoreactive polymer templates[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We here report the use of photolithographic polymer thin films as matrices for the formation of inorganic/organic polymer thin-film hybrids and the tuning of their structures. Poly(vinyl alcohol) derivatives bearing photoreactive styrylpyridinium moieties (PVA-SbQs) are used as matrices for the crystallization of CaCO3 and SrCO3. Thin-film hybrids are formed on the matrices in the presence of poly(acrylic acid). The polymorphs and morphologies of the CaCO3 nanocrystal assemblies are tuned by the photoreaction and the polymer structures of the matrices. Hybrid CaCO3 films exhibiting complex shapes and different surface structures are formed on the photoimaged PVA-SbQ matrix. Crystallization of SrCO3 on the photoimaged matrix leads to selective formation of film hybrids on UV-irradiated areas. These approaches may have great potential in controlling the complex structures of inorganic/polymer composite materials.CrystEngComm 04/2015; DOI:10.1039/C5CE00451A · 4.03 Impact Factor
Article: A Planarized Triphenylborane Mesogen: Discotic Liquid Crystals with Ambipolar Charge-Carrier Transport Properties[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A discotic liquid-crystalline (LC) material, consisting of a planarized triphenylborane mesogen, was synthesized. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that this compound forms a hexagonal columnar LC phase with an interfacial distance of 3.57 Å between the discs. At ambient temperature, this boron-centered discotic liquid crystal exhibited ambipolar carrier transport properties with electron and hole mobility values of approximately 10(-3) and 3×10(-5) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) , respectively. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Article: 2D Assemblies of Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Imidazolium Moieties: Formation of Ion-Conductive Layers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ionic liquid-based 2D ion-conductive liquid crystals are obtained by co-assembly of imidazolium salts and cationic calamitic liquid crystals with an imidazolium moiety at the end of the molecule through a flexible spacer. They exhibit smectic A phases. The two components are compatible over a wide range of compositions for ionic liquids with various anions. This organization of ionic liquids enhances the ionic conductivities of calamitic ionic liquid crystals. These liquid-crystalline mixtures dissolve lithium salts. The 2D ion-conductive pathways formed by the ionic liquid crystals and ionic liquids act as ion-conductive media for lithium ions.New Journal of Chemistry 03/2015; 39(6).

ABSTRACT: We describe the development of self-assembled one- and three-dimensional lithium ion conductors composed of zwitterionic liquid crystals, lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and propylene carbonate (PC). Two types of wedge-shaped zwitterions based on imidazolium dicyanoethenolate and sulfonate were synthesized. These compounds alone show liquid-crystalline (LC) columnar hexagonal (Colh) phases and low ionic conductivities (10-8-10-7 S cm-1). The increase in the ionic conductivities was achieved by the addition of LiTFSI (10-5 S cm-1) followed by that of PC (10-4 S cm-1). Moreover, LC bicontinuous cubic (Cubbi) phases are induced by tuning the ionic nature of the zwitterionic liquid crystal with the ratio of LiTFSI and PC. The dissociation of LiTFSI in the zwitterions and the ion-dipole interaction between the lithium ion and PC are shown to be significant keys for the enhancement of the conductivities and stabilization of the nanosegregated LC structures.03/2015; 3(21).

Article: Columnar nanostructured polymer films containing ionic liquids in supramolecular one-dimensional nanochannels[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ionic liquids have attracted a considerable attention as the next generation electrolytes for energy devices. We have developed new free-standing and nanostructured polymer films in which ionic liquids are confined into one-dimensionally ordered nanochannels. These polymer films have been obtained by photopolymerization of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular columnar liquid-crystalline self-assemblies of an imidazolium-based ionic liquid and a wedge-shaped diol compound containing polymerizable groups. The macroscopically parallel alignment of the columnar structures on a glass substrate has been achieved by the application of mechanical shearing, and subsequently fixed into polymer films by UV irradiation. This ionic liquid-containing polymer film exhibits higher ionic conductivity than that of the previously reported one-dimensional polymer film obtained by in situ photopolymerization of a covalent-type columnar liquid-crystalline imidazolium salt. The noncovalent supramolecular approach to one-dimensionally ion-conductive polymer films has led to improvement on conductive properties. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Article: Development of Gyroid Structures through the Design of Self-organizing Ionic Liquids and Their Application[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recently, there has been increasing attention on the design of nanostructured materials having gyroid structures due to their unique three-dimensionally ordered structures. In this paper, bicontinuous cubic liquid crystal, one of representative materials that form gyroid structure, is discussed. There have been only a small number of researches on liquid-crystalline molecules exhibiting thermotropic bicontinuous cubic phases, and therefore it is difficult to design bicontinuous cubic liquid crystals. We have succeeded in overcoming the difficulty by introducing designability of ionic liquids into liquid crystal design. In this paper, we describe self-organizing ionic liquids that show bicontinuous cubic liquid-crystalline phases. Furthermore, their potential application as novel nanochannel materials is described.01/2015; 57(3):184-190. DOI:10.5940/jcrsj.57.184

ABSTRACT: In this work, fluorescent and azo dyes were incorporated into CaCO3 and cyclodextrin (CD)-based network polymer thin-film hybrids through host-guest interactions. The hybrid films were prepared on poly(CD)s by a one-pot CaCl2 and Na2CO3 solution process in the presence of poly(acrylic acid). The hybrid-thin films containing fluorescent dyes demonstrate homogeneous fluorescence. The photoisomerization of azo dyes is observed in the solid thin-film hybrids. © 2015 The Society of Polymer Science, Japan (SPSJ) All rights reserved.Polymer Journal 12/2014; 47(2):122-127.

Article: Hydroxyapatite formation on oxidized cellulose nanofibers in a solution mimicking body fluid[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Biomimetic processing using a solution mimicking the inorganic composition of the body fluid of humans (simulated body fluid (SBF)) may be one of the more promising routes for the construction of polymer/hydroxyapatite composites by an environmental-friendly method. In this process, hydroxyapatite nucleation on an organic polymer is an important event, yet the optimal surface characteristics of the organic polymer have not been determined. In the present study, a series of oxidized cellulose nanofibers with different contents of the carboxy groups (0-27% per glucose units of cellulose) were prepared. Their capability of forming hydroxyapatite in 1.5SBF (a solution in which the concentration of the inorganic ions was 1.5 times higher than that in SBF) was systematically investigated. It was found that hydroxyapatite formation on the nanofibers was the most enhanced with a nanofiber containing a carboxy group content of 9.9%, indicating that there was an optimum amount of carboxy groups that was required for the effective induction of hydroxyapatite nucleation. Carboxy groups are considered to be involved in the electrostatic interactions between the fibers and the calcium ions in solution and they induce heterogeneous nucleation of hydroxyapatite. Higher contents of carboxy groups, however, reduced the activity of the calcium ions for the nucleation of hydroxyapatite by forming complexes with the calcium ions.Polymer Journal 12/2014; 47(2):158-163.

Article: Liquid Crystals: Liquid-Crystalline Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion Batteries: Ordered Assemblies of a Mesogen-Containing Carbonate and a Lithium Salt (Adv. Funct. Mater. 8/2015)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Thermotropic liquid-crystalline (LC) electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries are developed for the first time. A rod-like LC molecule having a cyclic carbonate moiety is used to form self-assembled two-dimensional ion-conductive pathways with lithium salts. Electrochemical and thermal stability, and efficient ionic conduction is achieved for the liquid crystal. The mixture of the carbonate derivative and lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide is successfully applied as an electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries. Reversible charge–discharge for both positive and negative electrodes is observed for the lithium-ion batteries composed of the LC electrolyte.Advanced Functional Materials 12/2014; 25(8).

Article: Nanostructured Two-Component Liquid-Crystalline Electrolytes for High-Temperature Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nanostructured liquid-crystalline (LC) ion transporters have been developed and applied as new electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The new electrolytes are two-component liquid crystals consisting of a carbonate-based mesogen and an ionic liquid that self-assemble into two-dimensional (2D) nanosegregated structures forming well-defined ionic pathways suitable for the I–/I3– redox couple transportation. These electrolytes are nonvolatile and they show LC phases over wide temperature ranges. The DSSCs containing these electrolytes exhibit exceptional open-circuit voltages (Voc) and improved power conversion efficiencies with increasing temperature. Remarkably, these solar cells operate at temperatures up to 120 °C, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest working temperature reported for a DSSC. The nature of the LC electrolyte and the interactions at the TiO2 electrode/electrolyte interface lead to a partial suppression of electron recombination reactions, which is key in the exceptional features of these LC-DSSCs. Thus, this type of solar cells are of interest, because they can produce electricity efficiently from light at elevated temperatures.Chemistry of Materials 11/2014; 26(22-22):6496-6502.

Article: ChemInform Abstract: Biomineralization-Inspired Synthesis of Functional Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials: Organic Molecular Control of Self-Organization of Hybrids[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Organisms produce various organic/inorganic hybrid materials, which are called biominerals. They form through the self-organization of organic molecules and inorganic elements under ambient conditions. Biominerals often show highly organized and hierarchical structures from nanometer to macroscopic length scales, resulting in remarkable physical and chemical properties that cannot be obtained by simple accumulation of their organic and inorganic constituents. These observations motivate us to create novel functional materials exhibiting properties superior to those of conventional materials-both synthetic and natural. Herein, we introduce recent progresses in understanding biomineralization processes at molecular levels and the development of organic/inorganic hybrid materials by these processes. We specifically outline fundamental molecular studies on silica, iron oxide, and calcium carbonate biomineralization and describe material synthesis based on these mechanisms. These approaches allow us to design a variety of advanced hybrid materials with desired morphologies, sizes, compositions, and structures through environmentally friendly synthetic routes using functions of organic molecules.Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry 10/2014; 46(11).

Article: Thermal or Mechanical Stimuli-Induced Photoluminescence Color Change of a Molecular Assembly Composed of an Amphiphilic Anthracene Derivative in Water[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Molecular assemblies that change photoluminescence color in response to thermal or mechanical stimulation without dissociation into the monomeric states in water are described herein. A dumbbell-shaped amphiphilic compound forms micellar molecular assemblies in water and exhibits yellow photoluminescence derived from excimer formation of the luminescent core, which contains a 2,6-diethynylanthracene moiety. Annealing of the aqueous solution induces a photoluminescence color change from yellow to green (λem, max=558525 nm). The same photoluminescence color change is also achieved by rubbing the yellow-photoluminescence-emitting molecular assemblies adsorbed on glass substrates with cotton wool in water. The observed green photoluminescence is ascribed to micelles that are distinct from the yellow-photoluminescence-emitting micelles, on the basis of transmission electron microscopy observations, atomic force microscopy observations, and dynamic light scattering measurements. We examined the relationship between the structure of the molecular assemblies and the photophysical properties of the anthracene derivative in water before and after thermal or mechanical stimulation and concluded that thermal or mechanical stimuli-induced slight changes of the molecular-assembled structures in the micelles result in the change in the photoluminescence color from yellow to green in water.Chemistry - A European Journal 08/2014; 20(33).

Article: Design of Amphiphilic Zwitterions Forming Liquid-Crystalline Phases and Effects of Lithium Salt Addition on Their Phase Behavior[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We prepared pyridinium-based amphiphilic zwitterions and examined their liquid-crystalline (LC) phase behavior in the presence and absence of lithium salts. Addition of lithium salts induced nanosegregated LC phases such as bicontinuous cubic phase and smectic phase depending on the anion species of the lithium salts. For example, an equimolar mixture of dodecylcarbamoyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)pyridinium betaine and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTf2N) exhibited a bicontinuous cubic phase between 40 and 100 C. The exhibition of these nanosegregated phases was attributed to the formation of an ionic liquid-like ion pair composed of the pyridinium cation and the Tf2N anion. The preferential interaction between the pyridinium cation and the Tf2N anion was confirmed with Raman spectroscopic measurement. Moreover, the amphiphilic zwitterions were found to show not only thermotropic LC behavior but also lyotropic LC behavior in the presence of polar solvents such as protic ionic liquids. The results presented here indicate that the combination of amphiphilic zwitterions and suitable additive ions is a potential method to construct nanostructured LC materials showing tuneable phase behavior.Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan 07/2014; 87(7):792-796.

Article: Macroscopic Photocontrol of Ion-Transporting Pathways of a Nanostructured Imidazolium-Based Photoresponsive Liquid Crystal[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The photocontrol of macroscopic alignment of nanostructured 2D ion-transporting pathways is described. The uniplanar homogenous alignment of thermotropic smectic (Sm) liquid-crystalline (LC) phase has been successfully achieved via photoinduced reorientation of the azobenzene groups of the imidazolium-based LC material. The ionic layers of the Sm LC phase are macroscopically oriented perpendicular to the surface of the glass substrate. The oriented films show anisotropic ion conduction in the Sm phase. This is the first example of the macroscopic photoalignment of ion-conductive LC arrays. Reversible switching of homeotropic and homogeneous alignments has also been achieved for the LC material. These materials and the alignment methodology may be useful in the development of ion-based circuits and memory devices.Journal of the American Chemical Society 06/2014; 136(27).

ABSTRACT: Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) brushes have been synthesized and employed as the crystallization matrices for the development of polymer/strontium carbonate hybrid materials. The use of PNIPAm brush matrices results in the formation of patterned polymer/strontium carbonate hybrid thin films in the presence of poly(acrylic acid) additives. Moreover, the conformational change in the thermoresponsive PNIPAm brush matrices induces the change in the surface morphologies of the obtained polymer/SrCO3 hybrid thin films. The strategy of using stimuli-responsive polymer brush matrices is expected to be a promising method for controlling the surface morphology of two-dimensional hybrid thin film materials.Polymer Journal 05/2014; 46(8):499-504.

The Strike Eagles of 'Dudette 07': All-female crew in historic mission over Afghanistan
- First female F15-E pilot was Lieutenant Jeannie Flynn in 1993
- Mission launched in honour of Women's History Month
A squadron of American female Airman, called the Strike Eagles of 'Dudette 07', made history last week when they launched an air mission over Afghanistan.
The two F-15E jets roared off from Bagram on Wednesday, just west of the Pakistan border, and offered close air support for coalition and Afghan forces.
The quod, made up of two pilots and two weapons system officers, became part of the first mission in U.S. Air Force history to be planned, maintained and flown by women.

Pioneers: The team of four became the first in the U.S. Air Force to engineer and fly an all-female mission. From left to right, Major Tracy Schmidt, Captain Leigh Larkin, Major Christine Mau and Captain Jennifer Morton
Lieutenant Colonel Kenneth Tilley, the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing historian, has confirmed that the flight was a moment which can rightly go down in the hitherto male-dominated record books.
Dudette 07 was set up to as an all female mission in honour of Women's History Month, which ended on Thursday, and is a huge fillip to equality in the military.
Major Christine Mau, a 455th AEW executive officer, celebrated the fact and told the U.S. Air Force's website: 'This wasn't a possibility when I started flying 11-years ago.
Top Gun: Captain Morton performs a preflight inspection before take off in Bagram last week
Pioneer: Lieutenant Jeannie Flynn made history in 1993 when she became the first female to fly a F15-E in U.S. Air Force history
'I have flown with female pilots before, but this was the first time I have flown in an all female flight.'
Captain Jennifer Morton, a 389th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron weapons officer, agreed the U.S. Air Force website quoted her as saying: 'Women's history means a celebration of the equality we have today in the military.
'It makes me think back and find inspiration from heroes like Colonel Jeannie Flynn.'
Eighteen years ago, then 2nd Lieutenant Jeannie Flynn became the first female F-15E pilot in the U.S. Air Force.
Although the Air Force permitted female pilots to enter pilot training in 1976, Lieutenant Flynn went on to become the first female fighter pilot to graduate from the U.S. Air Force Weapons School.
'Since 1993 we have had Air Force female pilots in combat positions, and because of that today I feel as a woman I can have whatever job I want,' Captain Morton said.
On a mission: This picture is a grab of a night time sortie from a F-15E jet
Captain Leigh Larkin, a 389th EFS weapons systems officer, said that this mission is just the start of equality in the military and praised the increasing amount of women in top jobs in the Air Force.
'The four women officers represents only a portion of the women who supported this mission making it the first all-female from tasking to completion combat sortie to date,' she said.
'I thought it was kind of cool and something that I have never seen before,' said Staff Sergeant Tamara Rhone, a 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief.
'The women throughout time have paved the way for us today and they made it possible for us to be equal as well as respected as individuals.
'Females are a rare breed on the flight line. It is my hope that more females step up and join the maintenance career field.'

Recent Balboa Peninsula reviews
"We had a great time staying in this property. It's 1 block from a beautiful beach. We could walk there with no shoes on. The kitchen is really well equipped with lots of plastic dishes and a nice big table for a family. Very functional for small kids. We rented bikes from Beachview Bikes and they were great to work with as well. We also got a pack n play and a high chair from them. Very affordable. The location is pretty quiet. The washer/dryer need to be updated as well as the dishwasher and probably fridge -- but we still loved it and would stay there again!"Guest: Sarah M. Date of Stay: October 2015 Review Submitted: October 10, 2015View listing
"Our family of 6 adults and 2 children recently stayed in this home. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the fact that all of us had our own bathroom was so convenient! We loved the bikes, rode them every day along the boardwalk. We went to the beach every morning, and having boogie boards and sand toys for the kids was such a bonus! The home is beautiful, and in a great location, you can walk or ride bikes to so many great places! We ate at the Newport Brewery, excellent food! We did a Duffy boat ride in the harbor, then had a really nice dinner at the Rusty Pelican and it was amazing! Russ is the best to work with, it was the best rental experience I have ever had, and I have rented from VRBO many times! I would work with Russ again in a heartbeat, and would love to return to Newport! The rooftop deck is the best, we spent every evening up there, and spent some great quality time with our adult kids on the deck. Just a great experience from start to finish!"Guest: Jill Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 19, 2015View listing

"When I think of a place to get away to, this is the place. This was my second stay at this home and I just absolutely love it. Just about everything you need is provided for. So close to the beach and restaurants that you don't even need a car. Very clean, comfortable and organized. My boyfriend and I stayed in the master bedroom, we left the french doors open to let in the sea breeze in and the music playing from the armoire all night, it was so romantic, peaceful and we slept like babies."Guest: Linda Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: October 5, 2015View listing

"We all really loved staying at Willow Court studio. We had a very busy few days planned including trips to Legoland and London. As a location it was perfect and coming back to the sunny courtyard to relax in the evenings was just what we needed. Sean and Angelica were perfect hosts, very welcoming and generous. The studio is very well equipped with everything you can think of and the welcome basket of goodies was much appreciated. My children loved helping to feed the animals. Thank you Andy.

by Wilkie Collins
Publisher:Dover Publications
Mistaken identities, locked rooms, madness, and romancethese are a few of the ingredients the author (one of the most successful and popular Victorian writers) used to inspire "the 'creepy' effect, as of pounded ice dropped down the back," that, according to one of his friends, was Wilkie Collins's aim in writing The Woman in White. Popularly regarded as one of the author's finest works, and widely copied by other writers, this thriller was the prototype for a whole new genre of fiction: the "sensation novel."
A scheming nobleman, a beautiful heiress, and, of course, the enigmatic woman in whitea mysterious figure confined to an asylum for the insaneare the featured players in an intricate, compelling story that was acclaimed by Henry James and T. S. Eliot. An instant success when it first appeared in 1860, the riveting tale has continued to enthrall readers ever since.

The rally has pushed stocks close to record levels. The Dow is 178 points off its record close, reached in October 2007, and the S&P is 53 points below its all-time high, achieved in the same month.
"We've had a really nice move up here, whether we graduate to the next level, I think is questionable," said Ben Schwarz, Chief Market Strategist at Light Speed Financial. "We're looking for something to spark it."
More than half of the companies in the S&P 500 have now reported earnings for the fourth quarter and analysts are expecting earnings for the period to rise by 6 percent, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. That puts earnings growth on track to increase for the third straight quarter after slowing to 0.81 percent in the second quarter of 2012.
As investors have become more comfortable holding riskier assets like stocks, they have cut their holdings in defensive investments like U.S. government bonds, sending yields on those bonds higher.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to its price, has risen more than 20 basis points since the start of the year and is trading close to its highest level since April. The yield fell 4 basis points to 1.96 percent Wednesday.

A Los Angeles-based investor new to Oklahoma City bought Village at Quail Springs Apartments Thursday for $21.45 million, which the brokers said was the largest multifamily sale so far this year.
Los Angeles investor buys Oklahoma City's Village at Quail Springs Apartments
Post Investment Group LLC bought the 276-unit complex, completed just more than a year ago at 14520 N Pennsylvania Ave., from Village at Quail Springs LLC, an entity of Indianapolis-based developer S.C. Bodner Co. Inc.
Brokers David Burnett and Andy Burnett of Sperry Van Ness/William T. Strange & Associates
"The buyer was attracted to Village at Quail Springs for a variety of different reasons, of which the location and asset class were paramount," David Burnett said. "The buyers ... had been keeping an eye on Oklahoma City for some time. Village at Quail Springs offered a unique opportunity to acquire essentially brand-new product without paying significantly over market."
He said just two Class A apartment properties traded hands last year, an average price per unit of about $73,000. Village at Quail Springs traded higher at $77,700 per unit because of "the newer age of construction and quality location," he said.
