|Further details
TRERICE HOLIDAY BARNS provide you with the PERFECT BASE from which to explore and enjoy Cornwall. If you are looking for beaches and coastal walks you will be spoiled for choice from Perranporth with shops and easy access to the quiet seclusion of Polly Joke. Our country hideaway is conveniently situated for lots of North Coast beaches (5 miles) or South Coast 15 miles, Trerice manor house (national trust 1 mile), Lappa Valley railway (1 mile), and Dairyland (1 mile). Newquay, Truro and Perranporth are all close by, though nothing in too far away, the Eden Project is 12 miles away and the Tate at St Ives is 32 miles. FALMOUTH on the South Coast is 20 miles away.
The Cornwall region
CORNWALL offers so much to so many....
WALKERS are spoilt for choice as much of the coast line is owned by the National Trust and is open to walkers following the SOUTH WEST COAST PATH right around the end of Cornwall and back. (www.southwestcoastpath.com). This is also great news for those who prefer PLEASANT STROLLS with amazing views out across the Atlantic .
For a little adventure try to find the LOST CHURCH and CHAPEL of Cornwall's patron saint St Piran (you know his flag as the cornish flag) on the sand dunes at PERRANPORTH, my favorite dog walk. Many local beaches are DOG FRIENDLY and there are several wood walks locally too. Whatever the weather or season the seas and coast provide fantastic scenery and wonderful beaches and coves to explore. Everyone knows about LANDS END but try out CAPE CORNWALL as well.
FAMILIES will love the choice of beaches from the small coves like POLLY JOKE 5 miles, or miles of sand at WATERGATE 7 miles, home to JAMIE OLIVER'S FIFTEEN where you can eat watching the sun set over the sea. May be visit some attractions like DAIRYLAND 1.8 miles and buy a week long ticket or LAPPA VALLEY RAILWAY 0.7 miles. National Trust TRERICE MANOR is just down the road and GARDENERS will adore the beautiful walled gardens here and other Cornish gardens such as the LOST GARDENS OF HELIGAN and ST MICHAEL'S MOUNT 33 miles.
Visit the magical TINTAGEL birthplace of ARTHUR , Boscastle a lovely harbour, and DOC MARTIN'S PORT ISAAC for fresh fish and singing fishermen. TRURO 11 miles is a lovely catherdral city with its own museum and RIVER TRIPS down to FALMOUTH or St Mawes on the south coast and their marvelous twin forts built by KING HENRY VIII. See SEALS at GWITHIAN, near Hayle below the cliffs(never been and not seen some!!), or at the SEAL SANCTUARY.
ARTISTS will love exploring the TATE AT ST IVES and experiencing for themselves the light that attracted the artist to work at ST IVES in the first place 32 miles or PENZANCE 34 miles and Newlyn.
GOLFERS have courses at St Newlyn East, Perranporth and Newquay.
FISHERMAN have many beaches but also COARSE FISHING at OAKSIDE FISHERY 2 miles (www.newquaysfinest.co.uk)
ARCHAEOLOGISTS will love the many neolithic field systems in the West and the amazing CHYSAUTER VILLAGE and CASTLE EUNY or the iron age hilltop at CASTLE-AN-DINAS 9 miles.
EDEN PROJECT is less than 17 miles away.
HORSERIDING is available at REEN Stables 6.7 miles where rides take you across the sand dunes HIDING THE LOST CHURCH to ride on Perranporth beach. There is also riding stables in Newquay that ride down the Gannel estuary to CRANTOCK beach.
The North Coast of Cornwall is famous as the PREMIER SURFING location in the uk with fantastic beaches that stretch for miles. Ed a keen surfer himself has locals knowledge for those quieter spots and the best break for the conditions and all abilities. There are many SURF SCHOOLS such as Bathsheba in Perranporth.
Saint Newlyn East
Within a couple of miles we have DAIRYLAND FARMWORLD, a firm favorite with children where they can feed the animals,watch milking and enjoy in door play area. LAPPA VALLEY RAILWAY with different tracks and trains. TRERICE MANOR a beautiful Elizabethan manor house with walled gardens and orchards.

"If you are looking at this accommodation, book it!"
Lovely home from home, holiday accommodation. Perfect location in beautiful quiet countryside but close to all the major surfing beaches in the area. Fully equiped with everything you would need, plus thoughtful extras like board games for the children, outside activities (swings, a kite, croquet and footballs) to name a few, and tea and biscuits on arrival. Ed & Jo were friendly and very helpful. I phoned the day before to book and as we travelled down received a kind message to warn us of stormy weather. We are a family of five, our youngest child being two, and stayed for four nights in october so my husband could surf. The children had a nice room which comfortably held all three of them, our room was a good size with a lovely comfy bed and wonderful view. The bathroom is spacious with a bath and shower, all towels and lined were provided. The barn is warm and a joy to stay in. All you have to do is turn up! All in all I would highly recommend Trerice barns and would like to stay there again.

"Perfect location, Great Accommodation"
We enjoyed a really great relaxing break at Trerice. The location and accommodation were just fantastic. The Barn was stocked with all that we needed and more. There were some lovely touches such as biscuits/tea/milk on arrival, tea towels, which was a nice gesture. You are within 10 min drive from Newquay and just a few minutes drive from local attractions such as Lappa Valley and Dairyland and also the local pubs. We will definetly be returning in the future.

"Very relaxing and extremely clean accommodation"
Lovely accommodation and ideal location for various locationvisits (but wouldnt recommend visiting Newquay!) Good for families and the owners were extremely helpful but unobstrusive! It felt like home from home so that must be good.. Only small negative was that sometimes we were woken up by a fast driving tractor(?) at about 2am in the morning...but will still come to visit again!

"Wonderful Cornish Hideaway"
We enjoyed a really wonderful, relaxed break at Trerice. We felt very welcome by Jo, there were some lovely touches that went above and beyond usual holiday rentals such as fresh flowers on the table, biscuits/tea/milk on arrival, tea towels, a treat for the dog and salt/pepper etc in the cupboards - all thoughtful little extras that help make your stay a little easier. Jo had even kindly taken in our Tesco shopping that had been delivered much too early. The barn (The Byre) was exactly as it looks online, if not nicer. Its impeccably clean, furnished to a very high standard and really well placed for exploring Cornwall. The bathroom has the most amazing powerful shower which was heaven after a day out trekking the Cornwall coastal paths! If we had one complaint it would be that the bed was a bit too soft which meant we had a few interrupted nights but we rectified this by sleeping the twin room which had firmer mattresses, however had we traveled with kids this wouldn't have been possible so would have posed more of a problem. However this is the only criticism we could find with the whole holiday and we would definitely recommend to friends and will visit again soon we hope!

"Almost perfect - can't wait to return!!"
Barn - The Byre. A very well provided for barn with high quality fixtures & fittings etc . For the 1st time there was obsolutely nothing we wished we had brought with us as everything needed was provided for - a very well thought out place. The views were superb and you could not hear a sound in the distance. fairly remote down country lanes yet only 5miles to the beach - brilliant!! Outside was adequate parking for each barn, a lawned area with picnic benches to use still allowing enough space for the kids to play and even more impressive was the shed which contained outdoor things - bbq's, parasols, windbreaks, garden games - swingball, football, garden jenga and lots lots more!!! (and i was queen of garden jenga!!) Our 1 disappointment was the beds. We struggle to share a double bed as we are used to a kingsized bed probably because neither of us are 'skinny minnies' so in the end our son had the double bed and we had to have the twin room which meant there was no mirror/dressing table in the twin room but that was more to do with our pref for a kingsize bed. if I could recommend anything it would be to remove one bedside table and put a kingsize bed in adn then we would be back year after year!!! Great village shop 1 mile away with instore bakery and everything else you could need.
So glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your kind review. You could try our HAYLOFT BARN 166833 with a KING SIZE BED, which provides two bedroom reverse accommodation for 4/5. Maybe a rematch at JENGA next year?

"A real Cornish gem!"
We stayed at Trerice Barns in April with our young son Oliver. Trerice is a real Cornish gem of a find and we speak as regular holidaymakers to Cornwall (this was Oliver's 10th holiday in the County and still only 3!!). The barns (2 linked and one detached) are in the middle of lovely countryside yet near enough to the coast to be convenient. You can holiday here and be in the Newquay buzz in 15 minutes or if you prefer (like us) on the quiet beaches of Crantock or be with the upmarket set watching the pounding surf at Watergate Bay or lunching at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant. We stayed in one of the link barns, the decor was to high standard and very clean. Even our Tesco food order that had arrived a little early had been thoughtfully unpacked for us and there was fresh flowers and plentiful holiday literature on the local area for us to peruse. For families with young children, the Lappa Valley steam railway is literally 5 minutes drive away and for older visitors the National Trust Manor House of Trerice a similar distance. There really is something for everyone, with a great green space outside the barns with picnic tables in addition to each barn having its own private decking area. The owners Ed and Jo were friendly without being intrusive and had a wealth of local knowledge if you needed it. Everything for a young family had been thought of including toys, books and board games in a 'treasure box' in one of the bedrooms, but the weather was so hot we didn't need them! (Yes and it was April!). Another thoughtful touch was there is a shed in which buckets, spades and beach games like skittles, bat and ball etc could be borrowed. For the standard of accomodation the barns represent very good value and we wouldn't hesitate to stay at Trerice again. Barns could also be booked togther to accommodate large familiy groups if needed. A true find!

"Like home from home."
We had a great weekend in the cottage. There wasn't anything missing from the kitchen, everything we needed was there. The decor was lovely and comfortable and the owners very friendly with a good knowledge of the local area. Our son (2) enjoyed the garden toys in the shed and the decking area was perfect for our BBQ (even though the wind was relentless that day!). We will definately be back in the future. Many thanks Jo. The Howells family

"Perfect find - we will be back."
Excellent place. All the extras were very appreciated, from the pot of tea and biscuits on arrival to the outdoor games provided. We all had a great time, thank you.

"My worries are not so much about the Wii U as they are brought about by the Wii U.
You may have heard that the Wii U launched last week. I have to admit to being a bit baffled by the thing. I want to believe that the Wii U is yet another notch in Nintendo's creative belt and not what I fear: a lazy, opportunistic cash grab. As it stands the Wii U has me puzzled." - JTM Games

Williams' surprise at Wales call
23 December 2013 15:11pm
By Alex Bywater
Rhodri Williams has impressed for the Scarlets so far this season
Wales and Scarlets scrum half Rhodri Williams admits his progression to full international honours this season has taken him by surprise.
It's come around very quickly and I never expected to be in the Welsh squad in the autumn
The number nine is enjoying an impressive first campaign in west Wales and made his international bow in the recent Dove Men Series.
Williams featured as a replacement against both Samoa and Australia after being named in Warren Gatland's squad for the first time. A pair of Welsh caps completed a memorable year for the 20-year-old Llandovery product, who was a key man for Wales Under 20 in their run to the final at last summer's Junior World Championship.
"It's come around very quickly and I never expected to be in the Welsh squad in the autumn," said Williams.
"I had a good run of games before it and I was lucky enough to be involved. I didn't expect to win two caps, when I was named in the squad I was hoping to gain some experience but I was pleased with how it went."
After his involvement in the Wales squad, Williams has now turned his attentions to regional duties as the Scarlets prepare for a pair of Christmas derby clashes with the Ospreys. Simon Easterby's men welcome the Ospreys to Parc y Scarlets on Boxing Day before the return fixture in Swansea on January 3.
"At the moment I'm trying to concentrate on the region, secure my spot and see what happens from there," added Williams.
"We've got the Ospreys back-to-back and we've got to win both of those games if we want to move up the league. They will be great games to be a part of and I'm looking forward to it."
After defeat to Munster on Saturday, the Scarlets go into Christmas in seventh place in the RaboDirect PRO12, three places below the Ospreys.
Looking ahead to the derby fixtures, Williams said: "If our discipline isn't right we are going to struggle to win the game, especially against the Ospreys with the kickers they've got.
"Dan Biggar will kick us back into the corners and Sam Davies is playing 15 at the moment so territory will be key. If we keep getting pushed back, we won't get anywhere.
"I'll be hoping to start the derby games, there is a lot of competition with us but hopefully I'll get a chance and I can perform."

She wasn't in Kansas to begin with
Associated Press
MOBILE, Ala. — An Alabama woman says she fell asleep on the couch watching TV and didn't notice a tornado that ripped off part of her roof and damaged most of her home.
Betty Russell, 76, of Mobile said Friday that she had no idea anything was wrong until firefighters and neighbors came to check on her.
When she walked outside, she saw that huge trees had fallen across the south side of her home, including the bedroom where she normally sleeps.
Russell has lived in the home for more than 50 years. She says angels protected her. Repairs to the home will have to wait until after she celebrates Christmas with her family.

I am trying to add pagination for related products in my product page since there's a possibility of getting for example 10 similar products. I've come across a number of articles on how to add pagination to product list in the home page and thought that I can apply a similar method to the related products I've added in my product page. Here's the snippet I've added in my catalog.xml thinking that it might work:
<block type="catalog/product_list_related" name="relatedlist" template="catalog/product/list/related.phtml">
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_left</layout><count>3</count></action>
<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
<action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name><count>3</count></action>
The related products still show up but with no pagination. Is there something wrong with my code or am I missing something? Or is there a better approach in doing this without making big modifications in any of the files in the magento folder? Thanks in advanced.

ABSTRACT: Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and scanning electron micrographs (SEM). Batch adsorption studies were carried out to investigate the adsorption data, including the effects of pH, initial concentration, contact time, and temperature. The adsorption of Au(III), Pd(II), and Pt(IV) was optimum at pH 6.0. The adsorption isotherms all obeyed the Langmuir equation in the case of Au(III), Pd(II), and Pt(IV), and the maximum adsorption capacities were 108.342 mg·g–1, 80.775 mg·g–1, and 71.378 mg·g–1, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of Au(III), Pd(II), and Pt(IV) onto GO followed a pseudosecond-order kinetic model, indicating that the chemical adsorption was the rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs energy (ΔGo), enthalpy (ΔHo), and entropy (ΔSo) were calculated, indicating that the adsorption were spontaneous, endothermic, and feasible. The desorption studies showed that the best desorption reagents were 0.5 mol·dm–3 thiourea–0.5 mol·dm–3 HCl for Au(III) and 1.0 mol·dm–3 thiourea–0.5 mol·dm–3 HCl for both Pd(II) and Pt(IV).
Article: Determination of Carbamate Pesticides and Phthalates in Vegetables by a Cloud Point Extraction Process Using Tergitol 15-s-7 and High Performance Liquid Chromatography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An efficient and environmentally friendly analytical process based on cloud point extraction (CPE) has been developed for the determination of carbamate pesticides and phthalates in vegetables by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation and ultraviolet detection (UV). The readily biodegradable nonionic surfactant Tergitol 15-S-7 is chosen as extraction solvent. To obtain optimum extraction efficiency, several experimental parameters including surfactant concentration, salt concentration, equilibration temperature, equilibration time, and sample pH are identified. Under the optimum conditions, the linear regression coefficients of the standard curves are greater than 0.9984. The limits of detection for carbaryl, pirimicarb, dimethyl phthalate (DMP), and diethyl phthalate (DEP) are 0.003, 0.015, 0.012, and 0.006 µ g mL, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations are less than 5.75% and 6.97%. The proposed method has been proven to be an efficient, green, rapid, and inexpensive approach for extraction and determination of target analytes present in vegetable samples.
Article: Preparation and characterization of chitosan/graphene oxide composites for the adsorption of Au(III) and Pd(II). Talanta[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this work, graphene oxide (GO) was firstly prepared, following by element analysis. Glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan (GCCS) and chitosan/graphene oxide (CSGO) composite with three different amounts of GO (5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt%) were also prepared for the adsorption of Au(III) and Pd(II) in aqueous solution. The properties of the adsorbents were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface area analysis. Batch adsorption studies were carried out. The adsorption of Au(III) and Pd(II) onto CSGO composites was optimum at pH 3.0-5.0 for Au(III) and pH 3.0-4.0 for Pd(II), which was much wider than that of GCCS. The adsorption isotherms obeyed the Langmuir isotherm models for the adsorption of Au(III) and Pd(II). Chitosan with 5 wt% graphene oxide (CSGO(5)) composite had the largest adsorption capacity for Au(III) and Pd(II) compared with the other prepared adsorbents, where the maximum adsorption capacity were 1076.649 mg/g for Au(III) and 216.920 mg/g for Pd(II), respectively. The adsorption kinetics of Au(III) and Pd(II) onto CSGO(5) followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating that the chemical adsorption was the rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic parameters, such as Gibbs energy (ΔG°), enthalpy (ΔH°), and entropy (ΔS°), were calculated, showing that the adsorption of Au(III) and Pd(II) onto CSGO(5) were spontaneous, endothermic and feasible. The desorption studies of Au(III) and Pd(II) onto CSGO(5) showed that CSGO(5) can be used repeatedly without significantly changing its adsorption capacity and desorption percentage after 3 cycles. Besides CSGO(5) was successfully applied for the determination and separation of Au(III) and Pd(II) in ore samples.
Article: Adsorption and Determination of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) onto 3′-Nitro-4-amino Azobenzene Modified Chitosan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 3′-Nitro-4-amino azobenzene modified chitosan has been prepared and characterized by FT-IR. The adsorption data have been investigated including the effects of pH, initial concentration, and contact time by batch method. The adsorption of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) was best in the pH range of 4.0–6.0 for Pd(II) and at pH 3.0 for Pt(IV), where the maximum mass adsorption were (29.33 and 43.10) mg·g–1, respectively. The adsorption isotherms obeyed the Langmuir equation for the adsorption of Pd(II) and Pt(IV). The adsorption kinetic data were fitted with a pseudosecond-order model and an intraparticle diffusion model. The results indicated that the adsorption of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) followed a pseudosecond-order model. The adsorbent shows high affinity for Pd(II) and Pt(IV) in binary systems containing each noble metal ion and other base metal ions. The optimal desorption reagent was 0.20 mol·L–1 thiourea + 0.50 mol·L–1 HCl solution for both Pd(II) and Pt(IV). The method was successfully applied for the determination and separation of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) in ore samples.
Article: Liquid-liquid solvent extraction of rare earths from chloride medium with sec -nonylphenoxy acetic acid and its mixtures with neutral organophosphorus extractants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present study, sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid (CA100) and its mixtures with four neutral organophosphorus extractants, tri-butyl-phosphate (TBP), 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid di-2-ethyl ester (DEHEHP), Cyanex923, and Cyanex925 have been applied to the extraction of rare earths. Results show that all the four mixing systems do not have evident synergistic effects on the extraction of rare earths. The different extraction effects have been considered to the separation of rare earths. The four mixtures may be applied to the separation of yttrium from some certain lanthanoids at proper mole fractions of CA100.
Article: Determination of nitroanilines in hair dye using polymer monolith microextraction coupled with HPLC[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, a novel method for the determination of nitroanilines in hair dye samples has been developed based on poly(methacrylic acid-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith microextraction (PMME) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Four nitroanilines, p-nitroaniline (PNAL), m-nitroaniline (MNAL), o-nitroaniline (ONAL), and 2,4-dinitroaniline (DNAL), are studied as representatives. To obtain optimum extraction efficiency, several experimental parameters including sample flow rate, sample volume, sample pH, and eluent flow rate have been investigated. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the linear regression coefficients of the standard curves are greater than 0.9990. The limits of detection for p-nitroaniline, m-nitroaniline, o-nitroaniline, and 2,4-dinitroaniline are 0.012, 0.008, 0.018, and 0.005 μg/mL, respectively. The intraday and interday relative standard deviations are less than 3.1 and 5.4%, respectively. The proposed method is simple, rapid, sensitive, and competent when used for the determination of nitroanilines in hair dye samples and the accuracy is assessed through recovery experiments.

Article: Sorption Technique for the Determination of Trace Palladium in Geological Samples Using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A method for the synthesis of chitosan crosslinking 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiodiazole (CTS-DMTD) adsorbent and the determination of trace amount of palladium in geological samples was established. It was found that the adsorption capacity was significantly affected by the solution pH, with optimum pH value of 2.0, the saturated adsorption capacity was 16.2 mg · g−1 for Pd(II). The studies of desorption were carried out using various reagents and the optimum effect obtained by using thiourea. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit (3σ) for Pd(II) was 0.015 mg · L−1 and the relative standard deviation was 4.7%.
Article: Determination of Triazines by Ultrasonic‐Assisted Ionic Liquid Microextraction Coupled with High Performance Liquid Chromatography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The determination of triazine herbicides by ultrasonic-assisted ionic liquid microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was described. 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C6MIm][PF6]) was used as the extraction solvent and some extraction parameters, including volume of [C6MIm][PF6], extraction temperature and time, salt concentration and pH values of sample solution, were examined and optimized. The isolation of the target compounds from the matrix was found to be efficient when triazines in 10 mL of sample solution was extracted with 100 µL of [C6MIm][PF6] for 40 min at 50°C. The detection limits for the triazine range from 0.36 to 1.41 µg·L−1. The satisfactory recoveries (82.3% –120.3%) with relative standard deviations ≦10.1% were obtained for the four triazine herbicides from six kinds of practical water samples.
Article: Determination of gold(III) and palladium(II) in mine samples by cloud point extraction preconcentration coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrometry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A simple, cheap, and nonpolluting method was developed for the cloud point extraction of gold (Au) and palladium (Pd). It is based on the complexation reaction of Au and Pd with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) and micelle mediated extraction of the complex using the non-ionic surfactant poly(ethylene glycol) mono-p-nonylphenyl ether (PONPE 7.5). Under the optimized experimental conditions, the enrichment factors are 16 and 17 for Au and Pd, respectively, for 15mL of preconcentrated solution. The limits of detection are 3.8μg L−1 and 1.8μg L−1 for Au and Pd, respectively. The relative standard deviations are 1.4% for Au and 0.6% for Pd (n = 11). The method was successfully applied to the determination of Au and Pd in certified reference materials and mine samples.

Article: Synthesis of Chemically Modified Chitosan with 2,5-Dimercapto-1,3,4-thiodiazole and Its Adsorption Abilities for Au(III), Pd(II), and Pt(IV)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A new chemically modified chitosan hydrogel with 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiodiazole (CTS-DMTD) has been synthesized. The structure of CTS-DMTD was confirmed by elemental analysis and FTIR. It was found that adsorption capacities were significantly affected by the pH of solution, with optimum pH values of 3.0 for Au(III), 2.0 for Pd(II) and Pt(IV). The saturated adsorption capacities were 198.5 mg/g for Au(III), 16.2 and 13.8 mg/g for Pd(II) and Pt(IV), respectively. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm adsorption models were applied to analyze the experimental data. The results showed that adsorption isotherms of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) could be well described by the Langmuir equation. The adsorption kinetic investigations indicated that the kinetic data correlated well with the pseudo-second-order model. The recovery experimental data showed that CTS-DMTD had a higher affinity toward Au(III), Pd(II), and Pt(IV) in the coexistence system containing Cu(II), Fe(III), Cd(II), Ni(II), Mg(II), and Zn(II). The studies of desorption were carried out using various reagents and the optimum effect was obtained using thiourea. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
Article: Preparation and application of 4-amino-4′-nitro azobenzene modified chitosan as a selective adsorbent for the determination of Au(III) and Pd(II)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Crosslinked chitosan was modified with 4-amino-4′-nitroazobenzene and characterized by FT-IR and SEM. The adsorption of Au(III) and Pd(II) was optimum at pH3.0 for Au(III) and at pH2.0 for Pd(II), where maximum mass adsorption were 69.93mgg−1 and 58.58mgg−1, respectively. The adsorption isotherms obey the Langmuir equation in case of Au(III), and the Freundlich and Langmuir equations in case of Pd(II). The adsorption kinetics follows a pseudo-second-order model. This new adsorbent shows high affinity for Au(III) and Pd(II), while the adsorption is negligible for K , Na and Ca and no adsorption of several other metal ions occurs. The method was successfully applied to the determination and separation of Au(III) and Pd(II) in aqueous samples and ore.

ABSTRACT: The ultrasonic nebulization extraction (UNE) was developed and applied to extract anthraquinones (emodin, aloe-emodin and rhein) from Rheum palmatum L. Several parameters of UNE, including type of extraction solvent, concentration of extraction solvent, volume of extraction solvent, extraction time and ultrasonic power, were studied and the optimized parameters were selected. The operation conditions of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) were also studied. Under the selected conditions, contents of emodin, aloe-emodin and rhein obtained from different cultivated areas of R. palmatum L. were 1.08-2.04 mg/g, 0.65-1.16 mg/g and 0.70-2.90 mg/g, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for emodin, aloe-emodin and rhein were 1.3-2.4%, 1.9-4.7% and 1.3-3.9%, respectively. Compared with maceration extraction (ME), reflux extraction (RE), stirring extraction (SE) and ultrasonic extraction (UE), the proposed method was more efficient, faster and easier to be operated and lower equipment costs and lower extraction temperature were required. The results indicated that UNE was a good alternative method for extracting anthraquinones from R. palmatum L. Compared with traditional extractions, the proposed extraction has a potential in on-line sampling, especially when the gas is used as the carrier of sample.
Article: Determination of total flavonoids in Scutellaria barbata D. Don by dynamic ultrasonic extraction coupled with on-line spectrophotometry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A dynamic ultrasonic extraction (DUE) coupled with on-line detection by spectrophotometry is proposed for the determination of total flavonoids (calculated against scutellarin) in Scutellaria barbata D. Don. The extraction was performed in a common self-made extraction vessel put in an ultrasonic bath and a peristaltic pump was used to deliver the extraction solvent. Several experimental parameters of DUE, including flow rate and concentration of extraction solvent, ultrasonic power and sample amount, were optimized. In this work an on-line method was provided with the advantages of minimum sample amount (5 mg), on-line monitoring the extraction process and time saving (12.5 min). Compared with off-line method, the proposed method would be more convenient for obtaining continuous measurements and rapid optimization of the extraction process.

Jeet Kaul, Sun VP of developer products and programs and Zane Vella, president of RCDb, was on stage today at the famed Moscone Center in order to "demonstrate sample applications and live web services available to developers." Among the examples shown was the "Photo Fetchr," a BD-J photo browsing application which allows users to search and browse Flickr accounts right from their internet-connected Blu-ray player.
Furthermore, Sun will be offering up the BDLive.com developer disc free of charge ("while supplies last"), and the disc itself will feature "sample code, definition of available API's, and the ability for developers to share their creations with each other and download applications to their home theater." Needless to say, Sun is hoping that by opening up development to the Java community at large, the "barriers to innovation and experimentation with BD Live and the Blu-ray format" will be lowered.
For those curious about how BDLive.com will work, it'll reportedly provide users with "a BD Live development framework and live network services" via the web, and according to the duo, this partnership will provide developers with "time and money-saving access to BD Live network services including registration, Blu-ray home-theater-to-web connectivity, and easy Blu-ray disc content updating." We know, it's still a bit unclear what all this means for end users, but hopefully clarification will be arriving in the coming weeks.
Latest in Bd live
Today at the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco, Sun Microsystems professed its love for BDLive.com and the availability of the BDLive.com developers disc. Put simply, Sun -- a proud member of the Blu-ray Disc Association Board of Directors -- has teamed up with Related Content Database Inc. in order to create said website and offer devs, BD content owners and consumer electronics manufacturers "advanced network services focused on improving the overall BD Live user experience." Essentially, the web portal weds Sun's network.com infrastructure and RCDb's recently announced BD Live Platform to "enable the quick creation of device-appropriate features that provide a user-friendly DVD-like experience."

Heartloom Part II
As promised in Part I of my Heartloom post here , this is the second part to the editorial that Karla Ticas shot for Heartloom inspired by their Fall 2013 short film campaign. When the Chriselle Inc. team & I styled this shoot, we experienced first hand how versatile the pieces really were. Finding for instance that this Aly dress could be worn on a casual day out, or more glam as we did for this shoot.
On top of how versatile these pieces are, I really loved the vintage inspired feel of their collection. You can really see the detail that they put into designing each piece. From adding unexpected delicate details to their dresses as the did here & here , or the intricate detailing on something as simple as this sweater, which completely adds Heartloom's signature sophistication & laid back feel.

If you haven't seen the photos from Part I make sure to check out that post to see more editorial photos from this shoot. Also, comment below and let me know if you would like to see more of these editorial type of posts here on the blog!
I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Are the jacket and skirt also Heartloom? I want them both!
Oooh, the red skirt! I love the fit!
Really good post. Please keep sharing such grat information on your blog. Keep it up.
This in addition collects the customer many of time and the obstacle of finding the right real estate by going from one customer to the other.
Love the full skirt and the lace top.
I'd love ti see posts like this more often, maybe a behind the scenes video ?
The red skirt almost reminds me of a upside-down tulip; so fresh and romantic. Although I adore your daily outfits, I still love these editorials that you are posting because they are fascinating.
You are so beautiful and i love your skirt !
You look amazing!! I'm loving the red skirt!!
xoxo, Diana ☠
I love love love the chandelier earrings. So elegant! The last look is hands down my fave!!!!
For me personally these editorials you've posted are a fresh look on your blog, which make them so interesting to look at! Of course they are more like what we find on the fashion magazine, but even that makes it more interesting for me to look at on your blog! Here, I know you and can relate to you personally; therefore, would appreciate the editorials even more than I do on a fashion magazine!
Thank you so much for sharing them and as always they look outstanding.
Much Love
While these editorial photos are nice and polished, unless you intend for the blog to be a fashion magazine of sort I think the more personal, outfit of the day, photos are more interesting. Then people can relate to you, think about how they can incorporate items into their outfit of the day. Editorials are good once in a while to mix things up, but I wouldn't go with it being the majority of the photos.
Love the second look!
This outfit looks so well constructed.
Love the structure and attention to details!
Adore the red skirt SO MUCH! So fluffy and fun, yet really elegant because of the hair and red lips. Great green colored background to make the reds pop so much 😉
New post up…

Aaron's Rod, novel by D.H. Lawrence, published in 1922. Lawrence constructed a parallel between the power that was miraculously manifested in the blossoming rod wielded by the biblical figure Aaron and the effect of the flute played by Aaron Sisson, the novel's protagonist. Sisson, who works in a coal mine, is an amateur flutist who abandons his wife and the life he has known to travel and try to make a living as a flutist.

I no longer have the plan within me. —Any plan.
I am no longer able even to weep.
(Was that part of the plan? Surely it was.)
Where I tended a garden a verb has taken shape:
a poison masquerading as honey. I buy & I buy
calendars, all of them missing days—
days I can't remember or else remember much
too well. I had never thought the past
would come to me in the shape of a bell,
a bird, a bone: that is, brailled and charming.
No I have never driven the combine, the chopper,
the harvester. I see my ghost-fingers in the chaff,
pale & bloody, little Christs. A tray
of surgical instruments glitters at the far edge
of my dusky solfege. Is this a plan? No,
this is a machine, & the angel of machines
has come to trouble all that yet lies
within me. I feel its breath, a library cold & heavy
on my bearded cheek. How to believe
in something that is not already a part of oneself?
—The way the garment believes in the body
as long as it's being worn; the way I take
the poison into myself for the sake of its sweetness.
Plan, from the Latin planus, flat. A schematic
of where love has dwelt, the apposed weft's
blue inclusory. I protected nothing, I bloodied
my apron with love's tenses. My children
burn like matchsticks in a single night.
They sound their one note like trumpets wrapped
in gauze . . . Speak ark, speak ash. You
who do not know how to die, who read this,
you whose standing perturbs the unnaillable light.

Old charm with all the comforts
restaurant and service
Noisy courtyard, thin walls
Very quite and friendly. Jerry was awesome this place is so nice will be back again
I liked being welcomed at the door by 3 people. The rug in the elevator was an unexpected treat and photo op. The room was plush. The bar was a relaxing place for a drink and dinner which was very good. It was also good to find parking nearby on the street.
I didn't like that I wasn't told that there would be an incindental charge on my card for possible expenses incurred in the room. The next day I saw the charge and called the hotel and was then told why. She said it was something we should have been informed of. The charge "fell off" the next day.
I stay at a hotels a lot and what I normally consider a great experience is when a hotel does a great job of alleviating the inconvenience of not being at my own house with my own stuff and kitchen. But the sorrento is a whole other thing. It's effing fabulous. I felt instantly relaxed and at home, if my home were a huge gilded age mansion. The food is wonderful, the staff is very available, the lobby area- I just wanted to hang out there and not go out. Even the courtyard, which is on a busy street, was like a cocoon. The whole experience was like being in another better world. AND there was tons of free street parking within a 2 blocks radius!
The one lame thing was there is only one elevator, but it is a genuinely old building, and what're you gonna do? It moved fast- you could tell they've made an effort to make it as speedy as possible. And it had a rug that said the day of the week! Which is more reassuring than you might think when you are travelling.
The staff were wonderful and extremely helpful.
A lovely facility, friendky stff great service. A nice treat.
Beautiful historic hotel, great location, excellent staff.
European feel; cozy, un-Holiday Inn room; excellent in-room coffee; good bed with nice sheets and a variety of pillow types and fill; accommodating staff; very nice toiletry items
Noise - I could hear my neighbors and people in the corridors; old windows let in lots of street noise
Clean, ok location,
Relaxing and luxury hotel.
Loved the history of the hotel....there was a book in our room that told the hotel's story. I had just recently been to Sorrento, Italy and had toured the Hotel Victoria so it made the stay extra special.
It seemed to be understaffed at the front desk.
The restaurant was excellent.
The rooms did not have enogh technological niceties eg. electronic check out
staff was very helpful and nice
rooms and bathroom were small

UNLV's transfers have Rebels in MWC hunt
Steve Megargee
Rivals.com College Basketball
UNLV appears on the verge of turning conventional wisdom on its head for the second consecutive season.
Senior leadership supposedly prevents late-season tailspins, but the presence of three senior starters couldn't stop the Rebels from falling out of NCAA tournament contention last season. This year UNLV is putting to rest the notion that teams relying on transfers or newcomers are bound to have chemistry problems.
This UNLV team may lack the experience of last season's group, but junior guard Tre'Von Willis insists the Rebels have better leadership this time around.
"You would think that's weird because last year's team had all the seniors and the guys who had gotten to the tournament," Willis said.
So what was the problem last season?
"We weren't really focused," Willis said. "We didn't really have any goals and things like that."
That's not a problem anymore. UNLV has plenty of players eager to make the most of a fresh start.
UNLV's roster features five players who began their careers at other Division I schools, as well as two junior college transfers. That list doesn't include 6-foot-8 forward Quintrell Thomas, a Kansas transfer who won't be eligible to play for the Rebels until next season. Three of UNLV's transfers have started the majority of the Rebels' games.
"We all came from programs where we weren't really happy or satisfied," said sophomore swingman Chace Stanback, who began his career at UCLA. "We wanted to come together and develop a great team here."
Guard Derrick Jasper struggled with an injured left knee as a sophomore at Kentucky, and that prevented him from showcasing his athleticism. He moved on to UNLV and did a nice job of running the offense before hurting the knee again last week.
Stanback arrived at UCLA as the No. 69 prospect in the 2007 recruiting class, but he struggled to earn playing time for a Final Four team and eventually decided to play elsewhere. He now is the Rebels' top rebounder (5.4) and second-leading scorer (10.5).
Willis averaged just 6.1 minutes per game in his lone season at Memphis. He ranked second on the team in scoring in his debut season at UNLV last year and now leads the Rebels with 17.2 points per game.
UNLV coach Lon Kruger didn't have a problem pursuing so many transfers because he already had gotten to know them long before they decided to leave their original schools.
"Almost all of them are guys we recruited initially out of high school," Kruger said. "We'd developed that relationship early on, so when they called later and inquired about coming back, we had a pretty good idea of what they were about."
Having so many transfers on one team might not seem like a formula for success. The only transfers on the Rebels' roster who played last season are Willis and reserve forward Darris Santee, who arrived at UNLV after helping Midland (Texas) College win the 2007 National Junior College Athletic Association championship.
UNLV had to replace three of its top four scorers and rebounders from last season. With so many newcomers on the roster, the Rebels seemed likely to have chemistry issues early. Instead of using that as an excuse, they worked particularly hard in the offseason to rectify that potential problem.
The Rebels then spent the offseason playing spirited pickup games that helped them learn even more about one another.
"It wasn't the normal open gym where you just try to come down and score every time," Willis said. "We wanted to get something out of our open gyms. We wanted to get chemistry and know what our teammates can and can't do. It helped us a lot."
The evidence is in UNLV's record. UNLV won its first seven games and has emerged as a legitimate MWC title contender while showing the characteristic signs of a disciplined team.
The Rebels lead the MWC in turnover margin (plus-4.41) and rank behind only BYU in assist-turnover ratio (1.4-1) and field-goal percentage defense (.395). UNLV also is 8-1 on the road, a marked change for a team that went 2-6 in conference road games last season.
UNLV could struggle to maintain its momentum without Jasper, who sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee last week and might not return until the end of the regular season. Although Jasper has averaged just 6.7 points per game, his versatility has helped UNLV play solid defense and take care of the ball.
The Rebels whipped Wyoming 78-50 Wednesday in their first full game without Jasper, but they face a much bigger test Saturday. Jasper's absence could make it difficult for UNLV to match up against a BYU backcourt that features All-America candidate and MWC scoring leader Jimmer Fredette.
"We really can't replace a guy like him, but I feel we've got players who can step up each and every night," Stanback said. "Whether it's a guard or a big man, it doesn't matter who it is. Derrick really brought a lot to the team with rebounding, his defensive presence and getting us in the flow of the offense."
But the arrival of all those reinforcements from other major college programs might have given UNLV enough depth to withstand the loss of Jasper.
UNLV's performance certainly casts doubt on the notion that a team can't succeed by relying so heavily on transfers.
"They do get the year to practice and work on individual skill development and get ingrained with the program," Kruger said. "There are a lot of positives to it, if they make the decision for all the right reasons."

Picture: Gerard Depardieu 2010 Cannes International Film Festival - Day 9 - 'Fair Game' Premiere Cannes, France - 20.05.10
French actor Gerard Depardieu has graciously accepted his new Russian passport from President Vladimir Putin himself after meeting with the leader on Saturday (05Jan13).
The Green Card star became headline news in his native France last month (Dec12) when he moved across the border to the Belgian village of Nechin in an apparent attempt to avoid a steep tax hike aimed at the country's wealthiest residents.
He applied for Russian citizenship, and his request was granted on Thursday (03Jan13), allowing Depardieu to sacrifice his French passport and escape to Eastern Europe to start a new life.
Depardieu was invited to toast his new citizenship with Putin at his holiday resort in Sochi and the pair was photographed shaking hands and hugging as the actor was welcomed to Russia.
On Sunday (06Jan13), the star flew to the city of Saransk in the region of Mordovia, where he was greeted by the local governor and a group of folk-singing women dressed in traditional costume in a bid to convince the star to settle in the area.
Flashing his new passport, Depardieu told reporters, "I am very happy, it's very beautiful here. Beautiful and soulful people live here."

Serie A - Milan move top with win over Siena
AC Milan struck twice in nine minutes to move top of Serie A with a comfortable 2-0 win over lowly Siena at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Milan had to wait until the 54th minute to net the opener. The industrious Clarence Seedorf picked out Antonio Nocerino to drill a low shot beyond several Siena players as a relieved home side grabbed the lead with goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic unsighted.
They added a second goal on 63 minutes when Kevin-Prince Boateng fooled the referee by diving to win a penalty as Brkic was harshly booked despite failing to make any contact with the Ghana midfielder.
The Sweden forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic planted the penalty low to Brkic's right with the power of the shot beating the Siena man, who guessed right but could not claw out the ball.
MIlan are a point ahead of nearest challengers Juventus and Udinese before their matches on Sunday. Juventus host Novara while Udinese visit Lazio in Rome.
At home, Massimiliano Allegri's side remain unbeaten in 2011 (18 games), and have won their last six at the San Siro conceding just one goal.
They visit Cagliari on Tuesday before Serie A goes into hibernation until January for the winter break.

Dr. Brian Campbell (left) and Aaron Misiak study the image produced by the kinesiology lab's motion-capture equipment.
Biomechanical research aimed at aiding military personnel
"Oh, my aching back!" is not something you will hear from members of our military, says Dr. Brian Campbell, kinesiology. Even though the highly trained soldiers often carry up to 150 pounds in gear, "they are the non-complainers. They would not want to be reassigned to something like desk duty."
Senior Bruce Garba walks while wearing a weighted vest and retro-flective markers as Campbell and Misiak study his movements.
What does happen, however, is that these valuable men and women wind up having to retire prematurely due to the physical damage they suffer, Campbell said. In an effort to ward off these injuries, he is using the kinesiology department's high-speed, high-resolution motion-capture system to analyze the gait and posture of people carrying heavy loads on their upper torso. "The goal is to see if there are consistent changes among individuals in the way they move, if those changes are harmful, and how we might improve the distribution of the load to make it more mechanically safe."
Given the nature of some of the military personnel's work, "some of the items they carry they're not going to be able to live without," Campbell said. "They carry what they need to survive." This can include body armor weighing more than 40 pounds, their weapon and, at times, up to 60 pounds of batteries, he added, for necessary electronic devices. "Outside of the military, civilians abide by standards set forth by the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) related to carrying a load. To my knowledge, there are no such standards within the military."
Biomechanics is the study of the physics of human movement, Campbell explained. The BGSU motion-capture system, with its six cameras, can identify movement to within a millimeter accuracy and take 200 pictures per second. Like the technology used to produce such animated films as "Shrek" and "The Polar Express," it senses movement using retro-flective markers placed on subjects' arms, legs and torso, and produces a sort of three-dimensional stick figure to produce "true-life movement."
Campbell and his student assistant Aaron Misiak, a senior from Strongsville majoring in applied health science, recorded movements related to subjects' gait and trunk movement patterns to compile a database of information.
Misiak said the study was enlightening. "I have several friends in the military, and I know how tedious and tiring it can be to carry the heavy loads they do. If we can find how to distribute it better so it doesn't do damage to their joints, it will help keep them safer and healthier."
Misiak has been accepted into the doctoral physical therapy program at the University of Toledo Medical Center. "This research experience has been helpful in preparing me to work with patients and other research subjects, and it's made me aware of more options in physical therapy and how technology can help. I got to use technology I wouldn't have seen otherwise," Misiak said.
Supported by an internal grant from the College of Education and Human Development's Research Development Council, Campbell is partnering with Dr. Adam Fullenkamp, a postdoctoral researcher in the biomechanical branch at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Campbell plans to apply for a further grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to continue the work.
Campbell has other plans for the specialized equipment. He formerly studied gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy and advised pediatric orthopedic surgeons in planning their treatment—work he found very rewarding.
He would like to bring that service to the Bowling Green community through a "clinical gait lab." It provides a valuable service to those with cerebral palsy, he said, and "I'd like our students to have the opportunity to interact with that population."

"The worst film I have seen in a long time. You can't blame
the poor actors who were required to chain-smoke throughout
every scene. The indulgence of the script was only matched only by the pretentiousness of the direction. This was
an incredibly boring and uninvolving film . . . . I watched it in 10 minute segments over two days . . wondering whether it was ever going to get any better. Sadly it didn't.
Particularly nauseous are the attempts to forge a feminist interpretation. One star for the hapless actors whose agents should have
advised them to steer clear."
