The mission of Waldzell is to inspire people who seek to connect topics and areas of their lives, which at first view are not related in order to find the way back to their natural wholeness. Waldzell motivates visionaries who have realized that, because of our traditional points of view, we will be unable to solve the problems we are confronted with. Together we seek to find the courage to let go of old-fashioned attitudes and issues and pursue new paths in order to be open for a new history – a history of joy, peace and love.
The vision of Waldzell is a New Earth, where all people are living in harmony and sisterhood with themselves, with all beings, with our earth and with the origin of life. Where we think and act out of this insight that we are all connected and out of trust into the fullness of life. Through bringing together people, who authentically follow this perspective Waldzell shall be a nucleus for a new way of living.
The Waldzell Meetings established a sound platform for a set of visionary people who deal with questions that are beyond our daily-life concerns in order to develop a more holistic view of the world. The Waldzell Leadership Institute is intended to convey this idea in a new format.
The tradition, the wisdom, the intention for a better world have been and are being transmitted through the ages and carried into the world by the bravest spirits and the most revolutionary minds. The Waldzell Leadership Institute offers a platform for those leaders of our society, who are ready and willing to undergo a deep personal transformation in order to carry those eternal teachings on and bring them to a fruitful application in our modern world.

USA vs Spain will be a very heated affair on Saturday afternoon.
Back in 2009, Team USA pulled a great upset by defeating the powerhouse Spanish team, 2-0, at the Confederations Cup in South Africa.
Spain will be heading into this friendly as the 2010 World Cup champions. The Americans are the clear underdogs here. Spain will want to avenge their 2009 loss and prove to the everyone why they're the best team in the world.
However, Team USA is a scrappy bunch with plenty of heart and desire that we just may see another exciting and tightly contested game. Landon Donovan brings veteran experience, while Juan Agudelo could provide a burst of energy and a much-needed scoring prowess for this squad.
Spain features plenty of big names such as Fernando Torres, David Villa and Xabi Alonso.
With this game taking place on U.S. soil, another Team USA upset just may happen.
We'll be discussing everything that has to do with today's big game in the updates.

A moment to remember
We cherish too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies.
-- Moina Michael
"In Flanders Fields," 1915
Monday marks the official start to Summer 2009 and according to AAA, lower gas prices and enticing travel bargains are encouraging a 1.5 percent increase over last year of people who will celebrate Memorial Day away from home. In real numbers, this means 32.4 million will be on the road or in the air this weekend, regardless of our unstable economy or the unpredictable nature of the H1N1 virus, commonly referred to as the swine flu.
We're camping and hiking; fishing and boating. We're marinating ribs, peeling spuds for potato salad, and displaying our flags. We're planting flowers. Building additions onto our decks and riding our horses. I expect most Whidbey Islanders will take full advantage of the sunny weather predictions and long days. After all, we slugged our way through the Winter of 2009, referred to at our house as the winter that would not end. It's time to get outside and enjoy the unique beauty of our island.
But Memorial Day is much more than a three-day weekend. Originally declared Decoration Day in the mid-1800s to honor those who perished in the Civil War, the name was changed to Memorial Day in 1882 to commemorate those who died in all wars and conflicts. Over time, most families viewed the holiday as a time to include all loved ones who had died. I distinctly recall my dad describing Decoration Day as a time in his boyhood when the entire family made a pilgrimage to the local cemetery to clean up the Oklahoma prairie surrounding his family's grave markers. They finished by decorating each spot with flags for veterans and flowers for civilians before departing for home. There, a picnic awaited either in town, at a neighbor's farm, or at the family church.
It was in 1971 that President Richard Nixon declared Memorial Day to be celebrated as a federal holiday on the last Monday of May, diminishing in many people's eyes the value of this traditional observance. They worry that many Americans will vacation and simply forget the historical significance of the day, neglect to honor military grave sites, and unknowingly mishandle and improperly display the American flag.
There is a very notable exception, however. Since the late 1950s, soldiers in the Third U.S. Infantry have placed small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 graves at Arlington National Cemetery on the Thursday before Memorial Day. They patrol the site throughout the weekend to ensure each flag stands tall.
And in an effort to remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the National Moment of Remembrance Resolution was passed in December of 2000. It asks all Americans to stop at 3 p.m. local time to "Voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to 'Taps'."
It is our good fortune to not only live in a country that values freedom, but to be part of a military community made up of the finest men and women serving our nation. In my mind, faithful living not only includes matters of faith, but also understanding the history behind our holidays and passing on the lessons to our children and community members. Let's display our flags, talk about our family members who have contributed in myriad ways to the betterment of our lives, honor those who have lived and died, and formally thank our loving God for each and every one of them.
Heaven will not forget. Neither will we.

The Sea Yields Its Lost Squadron
The Undersea Discovery of Five World War Ii Planes May Solve the Bermuda Triangle Mystery
Two hundred yards away the sonar began picking up another image. It was a second plane. Soon there was a third Avenger. Over the next 24 hours, the crew spotted five in all, lying within a one-mile radius. "We were pretty thrilled," says sonar operator Bill Mastrude. Well versed in the lore of the area, the Deep See crew began to suspect that they had stumbled upon the final resting place of Flight 19—the legendary Lost Squadron that had supposedly vanished into the Bermuda Triangle in December 1945. "We were all saying, 'Nobody's going to believe us at home,' " says Mastrude.
Along with the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the saga of Flight 19 has become one of the greatest mysteries in the history of aviation. The five fully armed Avengers that took off" from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale with their 14 crewmen and disappeared without a trace have inspired more rumors and theories than a forestful of Bigfoots. For years afterward, there were periodic reports that the airmen had been seen living with Indians in the Everglades. Or were they in Texas? Much of the speculation focused on the possibility that they had somehow been abducted by UFOs—a scenario eerily depicted in the 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Now, 10 miles off the Florida coast, the riddle may have been solved.
World War II had been over for three months when Flight 19 took off for what was supposed to be a routine training exercise on that fair, breezy Dec. 5th. The group leader was Lt. Charles Taylor, 28, a seasoned combat veteran of the Pacific campaign, but a pilot with a reputation for sloppy navigation. (The day of the ill-fated flight he left some of his navigation equipment behind in his quarters.) Setting out at 2:10 P.M., the planes were loaded with 5½ hours' fuel for the scheduled three-hour flight out over the Atlantic and back to the airfield. But things quickly went awry as the squadron became thoroughly disoriented. At one point, a pilot, presumably Taylor, was overheard saying, "I don't know where we are. We must have got lost after that last turn." A bit later Taylor announced, "I'm sure I'm in the Keys, but I don't know how far down, and I don't know how to get to Fort Lauderdale." To make matters worse, while the ground controllers in Fort Lauderdale could hear Taylor's radio transmissions, he had trouble picking up theirs.
At about 4:45 P.M. Taylor radioed again, this time saying that the formation had somehow ended up over the Gulf of Mexico, which seemed impossible. Listening on the ground, Lt. Comdr. Don Poole, the flight training officer at Fort Lauderdale, knew then that Taylor was only getting himself more confused. "It can happen to a pilot when you look out and you don't see anything familiar," says Poole, now 76 and living in Cape Coral, Fla. "But usually you snap out of that panic and stay on course. But he didn't."
The tragic irony was that investigators now believe that Taylor was now here near the Keys but about where he was supposed to be, over the Bahamas. More important, they theorize that as a result of his mistake in identifying the ground below, Taylor concluded wrongly that his compass was malfunctioning and from then on disregarded its readings. Author Larry Kusche, who has written two books about Flight 19, thinks he knows how the mix-up could have occurred. "Taylor had just transferred to Fort Lauderdale from Miami, where he was used to flying in the Keys," says Kusche. "In between the Abacos [a part of the Bahamas], if you look to the right, there are lots of islands that look like the Keys. He just got confused."
It seems clear that some in Taylor's group realized their leader's error. The transmissions from Flight 19 were growing increasingly faint, apparently because the squadron was getting farther away, but at 5 P.M. Poole heard one of the fliers say to another, "Dammit, if we would just fly west, we would get home." But the iron code of military discipline dictated that they stay with Taylor. "In training it's embedded in you to follow orders." says Poole. And so the five planes droned on into the gathering dusk, desperately zig-zagging somewhere off the coast. as best the ground controllers could tell from the intermittent radio transmissions. At 5:22 Taylor was heard telling his team, "When first man gets down to 10 gallons of gas we will all land in the water together." About that time a storm front hit the area, bringing 40-knot winds, torrential rain and 12-to 14-foot waves. At 6:02 one of the Avengers radioed that "we may have to ditch any minute." For the next hour there were sporadic broadcasts until at last one of the planes called for Taylor and got no response. It was the last anyone heard from Flight 19.
The Navy launched a sweeping search-and-rescue operation. Back at the Fort Lauderdale base, experienced hands knew that ditching in such rough seas would be almost suicidal. Even if by great luck the crews survived the initial impact and managed to break out their life rafts, they would, in all likelihood, be quickly capsized. Still, those at the base tried to remain hopeful. John Evans, a Navy photographer, recalls that as darkness came on, controllers lit up all the runways to guide the fliers home. "I'll never forget," says Evans, now 65 and an architect. "I went out around 9 o'clock, and the lights were still on. But then slowly, one by one, they all went out, and I thought, 'That's it, they're dead.' "
For the wife of Capt. Edward Powers, the awful truth came in a sickening flash. That night at the couple's apartment in Mount Vernon, N.Y., where Joan Powers had remained behind with their 18-month-old daughter, Susan, Joan awoke in a panic, which had never happened to her before. Sensing that something was wrong, she called the base at 2 A.M. She was told that Edward was not there, and only the next morning did she hear on the radio about the missing planes.
The Navy continued to search for five days, but no clues were ever found, a fact that still puzzles some of the investigators. The Navy's initial inquiry into the matter strongly suggested that Lieutenant Taylor had been responsible for the mishap. But under pressure from Taylor's mother, Katherine, a subsequent review declared the investigation inconclusive. Thereafter, Taylor's mother, a schoolteacher in Corpus Christi, Texas, would often appear on the docks around Fort Lauderdale. Clutching a photograph of her son, says Evans, she would ask charter-boat captains, "Have you seen this man, maybe in the Bahamas somewhere, or on a deserted island?"
The identities of the five planes found by the Deep See remain to be verified, which the crew hopes to do by matching serial numbers on the tails. Still, based on the preliminary findings, some experts believe that the Lost Squadron has been found. Although 139 Avengers were lost off the coast of Florida during the war years, there is no record of five of them going down in the same vicinity. The newly disc overed aircraft appear to have been ditched—the canopies are open, and some of the prop blades are bent back. (It is still unclear whether any of the pilots' remains are inside.) One of the planes has the marking FT on its side. FT was the designation for the Fort Lauderdale base; another has a 28, which was the number of Taylor's plane. Meanwhile, a court battle is already brewing between the Scientific Search Project—the owners of the Deep See—and the Navy over the rights to the wreckage, which could be worth a substantial amount in movie and television rights.
As for those who still mourn the losses from that day more than 45 years ago, the discovery has brought relief—and new pain. They must deal with the fact that their loved ones may have been a pitifully short distance from safety when they perished. Susan Powers Spengler, now 46 and never having known the father who died that day, would like to see the identities confirmed but the aircraft left where they are. "I don't want them brought up," she says. "Let them be. Let them rest."

The Whole Two Yards: Giraffe Neck Growth Patterns
Extreme adaptations seem to serve as canvases upon which people paint their various pet theories about evolution. The origin of the giraffe's nearly two-meter long neck has long served as fodder for "just-so" stories, and has been featured in everything from Rudyard Kipling's tales as a metaphor for self-improvement to countless biology textbooks as the default illustration for Lamarck's theory of evolution via inheritance of acquired characteristics. Amongst the speculation as to why any reasonable species would develop such an... Read more

Post Time: 1:20
1 - Lasix will make the difference for ASLAN, who is well bred to stretch out and needed a race after being idle since Aug, CLASSIC SENSE gets more ground and a jockey/trainer combo that clicks 33% of the time. BAY OF BISCAY, a $750,000 purchase, will get strong support, but lacks typical quick works of a Pletcher runner.
2 - Something went amiss for LEARN, who has superior turf pedigree, and the 5-year-old raced only twice since 2012, but drills and blinkers have him ready. UNBRIDLED LOGIC, who missed by a neck going five wide vs. same kind, may get quick pace he needs prompted by GLOWING EMBER.
3 - CHOCOLATE WILDCAT (BEST BET) turned in sizzling fractions to win debut at Gulfstream. BESSIE'S BOY won debut at 3-5, but needs top pick to falter. SHREWD MOVE has most experience of young field and could be quick sleeper.
4 - TREASURED drops into claimer while continuing to improve. MURMURE gets back on grass after chasing repeat winner in vain. DREAMING OF KITTEN, favored in all three starts, takes double leap in class after being claimed away from top barn with superior turf breeding.
5 - STALAGMITE just missed when dropped to this price. AWESOME LUTE figures to improve after being claimed by Jacobson. RONNIE'S WHEY gets huge rider swap to Rosario.
6 - DATTTS DA BOSS was smacked around between foes coming out of the gate and still set the pace. Goes better cutting back to 6 furlongs. Overtakes pacesetter HIDDEN MUSIC and RADIANT CUT.
7 - COZY KITTEN takes key drop and cuts back from marathon route. MONUMENT HILL sinks below price where he was a winner two starts ago. TREASURY DEVIL drops off claim by Jacobson, but do you trust a gelding being grabbed away from Clement?
8 - PREVIOUS, a just beaten 7-5 favorite, awoke at Belmont. DOWAGER sets the pace but will have to fend off HOT SPLASH early.
9 - SPA CITY TREASURE runs down SHINNECOCK BAY, who gets blinkers. FULL PADS would benefit from speed duel while getting more ground.

Halloween Costume Swap
Have an "eek-o-friendly" Halloween. Swap your costume!
"Respook, Rewear, Rescare"
Halloween Costume Swap
Bring a old costume and swap it for another one!
October 21, 2016
Franklin Parks and Recreation Department
396 Branigan Boulevard
Bring your old, gently used Halloween Costumes to "swap" for a new-to-you costume. The Johnson County Recycling District will conduct its 9th annual Halloween costume exchange "Respook, Rewear, Rescare" on October 5, 2015 at the Franklin Parks and Recreation Department, 396 Branigin Boulevard in Franklin.
Anyone may participate in the exchange! Simply bring a clean, gently used costume to the exchange and swap it for something "re-scarier." Costumes should be in good condition without tears or stains. Hundreds of great costumes, both new and gently used, are available! Sizes range from infant to adult. A "mix and match" costume rack will also be available to create your own costume. Costumes are not available for purchase. You must have a costume to swap. Partial costumes will be accepted.
For more information, contact the Johnson County Recycling District at 738-2546.
"EEK-O-Friendly" Halloween Tips:
Reduce – Instead of giving handfuls of candy treats to your little goblin visitors, give out just one treat; and consider giving recycled newspaper pencils or temporary tatoos, rather than candy. Avoid disposable tableware for parties. Disposable supplies always end up in a landfill.
Reuse – Rent or borrow costumes from local costume shops; or swap your costume for another at the Johnson County Solid Waste Management District"s 5th annual Halloween Costume Swap on October 20th. Your last year"s costume will be a treasure for someone else!
Recycle – Choose items made from recycled products. Look for the recycled content symbol on products to tell if they made from items previously recycled. Compost your pumpkins and gourds for free fertilizer.
For these and other Green "eek-o-friendly" Halloween Tips go to www.GreenHalloween.org.

Like most small wineries, Willis Hall prides itself on staying as close to the "purity of the fruit" as possible and sources from the best vineyard sites it can get its hands on. Winemaker, John Bell, is extremely passionate about his craft and is always eager to share the wines he produces.
Willis Hall has sort of carved out a small cult-like following and is one of the wineries that are starting to put Snohomish County on the map (well, that and some help from the scores Quilceda Creek wines have garnered).
I've had the pleasure of meeting John a few times now over the past several months and am always impressed on how personable he is and the gleam in his eye whenever you get him started talking about wine – it's great to see his passion.
2005 Cabernet Franc: Charbonneau Farms – W.E.P. Rating: 100%
- Alcohol by Volume – 13.2%
- Blend – 90% Cabernet Franc; 10% Merlot
- Vineyards – Charbonneau Farms
- Barrels – 100% French Oak (50% New; 50% One Cycle Used)
- Ageing – 22 Months
- Price: $32
Nose: Cherries, raspberries, black cherries. The smell reminds me of a warm, safe place where as a child I'd Hide (Guns n' Roses rocks!) – seriously, this wine has comfort-101 all over the nose. It's pleasant, soft and full of fruit that you'd love to pound by the fistfull.
Taste: The sheer balance of tannin structure and dark fruits of this wine are "off the chain" – this is a Cab Franc that is truley world-class and shows good evidence as to why Washington State kicks ass with this grape. It has the classic darker berry fruits on the front-end with an incredible mid-palate transition that layers on a sort of caramel-pie-crust-like layer and the finish lasts for weeks.
2005 Dolcetto – W.E.P. Rating: 90%
- Alcohol by Volume – 13.7%
- Blend – 91% Dolcetto; 9% Sangiovese
- Vineyards – Morrison Lane; Snipes Canyon Ranch
- Barrels – 100% French Oak (40% One Cycle Used; 60% Neutral)
- Ageing – 22 Months
- Price: $28
Nose: Shampoo, black cherries, rhubarb, sour cherries, white pepper, bubble gum and beef jerky.
Taste: Good amount of an ocean-spray tartness that goes on in the fruit attack of this wine – flavors of cherries, raspberries and lognberry. A solid mid-palate transition that brings on some nice layers of cocoa, white pepper and a hint of medicine cabinet. Good finish that lingers on nicely for hours.

Located beyond the Savage River, Teklanika Campground provides a unique park experience for those wanting more time in the park, and a truly remote camping experience among the backdrop of Cathedral Mountain and the Teklanika River. Because the Teklanika Campground is located within the restricted section of the Denali Park Road, there is a minimum 3 night stay for anyone wishing to drive their RV or private vehicle to this campground. This rule does not apply during the Denali Road Lottery, which is typically held annually, in mid-September. Once parked at your campsite, all travel must be on foot or shuttle bus until you depart so be sure to bring everything you need to make your stay an enjoyable one. The Tek Pass ($35), which is a bus pass allowing you to use the park shuttle buses throughout your stay, should be purchased for each member of your party. See below for more information on the Tek Pass.
Reservations of less than 3 nights at Teklanika River are not bookable online and must be made through our Reservations Office at 866-761-6629. The only exception to this rule is during the Road Lottery. Visitors staying less than 3 nights are not allowed private vehicle access and will also need to purchase a camper bus ticket ($35) to access the Teklanika Campground. The camper bus ticket functions much like a Tek Pass, allowing you to use the park shuttle buses throughout your stay, on a space-available basis.
Check Availability - Under '40 RV/Tent
The Tek Pass should be purchased for each member of your party. It allows you to use the park shuttle buses throughout your stay at Tek Campground, for the price of just one trip.
Due to the restrictions and detailed logistics of travelling the Denali Park Road, the Tek Pass is only available for purchase by telephone through our Reservation Office at 866-761-6629. If you have made Teklanika Campground reservations already, please have your confirmation number ready.
When you purchase a Tek Pass, you will select the first day you wish to use it (likely your first or second day in the campground), and will select a specific bus for that day. This bus of your choosing will have guaranteed seats for you, on the day and time you chose. On subsequent days during your time at Tek, you may use any shuttle bus, boarding at your campground on a space-available basis.
All shuttles begin their trip into the park with at least four empty seats, and many shuttles do not run at maximum capacity - so while Tek campers sometimes find a full shuttle, and must wait for the next, such occasions are rare, especially for small parties.
The Tek Pass is designed for you to experience points farther in the park during your stay. Therefore, the pass only allows you to travel farther into the park, and back to Tek. If you return to the park entrance by bus, you will have to buy a new shuttle bus ticket to travel back to Tek Campground. Do not return to the park entrance, by bus or your own vehicle, until you are finished with your stay at Tek.
The cost is $35 per person and is available when you make your advance reservation, or at the Wilderness Access Center or Riley Creek Mercantile inside the park. When you make a reservation, you will be required to confirm a seat on the first bus you will use on your pass. Please note: This pass is only available to campers holding a Teklanika Campground Permit and are driving a private vehicle. Tent campers at Teklanika can use their camper bus ticket ($35) in a similar fashion to the Tek Pass.

Of Cubans and Jews, Lopez says, "These are two cultures that have experienced Diaspora, two cultures that are disconnected from their homeland, two cultures that stress education, family, food, laughter. When you go to Thanksgiving in a Jewish household or a Cuban household, you'll talk about politics, tell jokes."
Speaking from Boston, where she lives with her Jewish husband, Lopez, who was born in this country to Cuban parents, says with a chuckle: "Two Cubans in a household is just trouble."
The first act of her new play takes place during Chanukah/Christmas vacation in 2001. To emphasize the seeming harmony of this "blended family," Lopez indicates in stage directions that the Christmas tree is decorated with Stars of David.
Yet we sense that something may be wrong when Sonia, the protagonist, and her daughter forget to make the traditional 7-Up Jell-O salad, a symbolic failure that suggests a rift in the family, similar to what occurs in Barry Levinson's "Avalon" when a guest, arriving late for Thanksgiving, complains, "You cut the turkey?"
In Levinson's movie, the discord is over the relative climb up the financial ladder of the differing family members, while in Lopez's play Sonia is distressed over her son's decision to leave college and join the Marines.
In making a parallel between the aftermath of Castro's revolution and Sept. 11, Lopez seems to posit that history doesn't repeat itself but it can overwhelm families and tear them apart. Like Stephen Dedalus, who famously says in "Ulysses," "History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake," Sonia feels she has been doomed twice by history, once in 1961 when her parents forced her to flee to the United States, the second time in 2001 when her son, Zak, heads off to fight in Afghanistan. Like Daedalus, the namesake for Joyce's character, who flies from the island of Crete to safety but loses his son, Sonia escapes from Castro's oppression but never gets to see her parents again, and 40 years later she fears losing her son, too.
One of the ironies of "Sonia Flew" is that flight, which should signify freedom, comes to mean betrayal to Sonia -- abandonment and a manipulation of patriotism.
With the subtext of the two hijacked airplanes flying into the Twin Towers, Lopez broaches the forgotten history of the Pedro Pan children, whose parents sent them away from Cuba on falsified student visas in the early 1960s; the play ponders why the parents never left the windows open so the children could return to their homeland.
Unlike Peter Pan and the lost boys, the Pedro Pan children don't live in Never Neverland; they live very much in the real world, in a new country, the United States, where they have to start all over, learn a new language, make new families. In that regard, Sonia shares a bond with Sam, her father-in-law, a World War II veteran who emigrated from Europe to the United States at the time of the Holocaust.
While there is no suspense in the first half of the play about Zak's joining the Marines, the act ends with Zak involved in an explosion in Afghanistan, followed by a blackout. Lopez leaves us uncertain for nearly the entire second act as to whether Zak lives or dies. For a scene or two, she also effectively withholds from us the key point that Sonia's parents hated the revolution under Castro. Occasionally, Sonia tips us off with Shakespearean-style soliloquies. Lopez began her theatrical career as an actress for Shakespeare & Company, a troupe in Western Massachusetts, and she says that when she first started acting, "I imagined myself exclusively performing Shakespeare's plays."
For years, she was primarily an actor. However, she enjoyed "contributing to someone else's artistic vision" to such an extent that she decided to write her own plays. She obtained a masters in playwriting from Boston University, where she studied with Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, and wrote her first play about 10 years ago, a one-woman show, "Midnight Sandwich," which was staged in Boston and in which she played all the parts of her bicultural family.
Since then, she has written several other short works, as well as a number of full-length plays. In addition to Shakespeare, whose Ariel is a precursor to Sonia in that she can fly, yet lacks freedom until the end of "The Tempest," Lopez cites August Wilson as an influence. Lopez doesn't write the way Wilson does with his flowing jazz-like riffs and authentic dialect. At times, Lopez's dialogue veers toward cliché, such as when young Sonia, in a line uttered countless times since the dawn of movies, tells her mother, "I'm not going to end up like you, I know that much. I'm going to do something with my life."
Despite the occasional, overly familiar line, Lopez creates characters who are inhabited with the kind of dedication and idealism we expect of pioneers. Given the waves of Jewish immigration in this country, it may not be surprising that after Lopez staged her one-woman show, "Midnight Sandwich," her mother-in-law said to her, "You're Jewish, and your whole family is Jewish." Her mother-in-law then began asking Lopez if her family lit candles on Friday nights, like Marrano Jews who conducted ancient Jewish rituals in the basements of their homes after the Spanish Inquisition.
"You came over with Columbus and stopped off at Cuba," theorized her mother-in-law.
Lopez took her mother-in-law's comment as a compliment, though she has no idea whether she actually descends from Jews. While her protagonist, Sonia, is very attracted to Castro, whose surname, according to tradition, is a Jewish surname, Lopez does not have fond words for the aging Cuban leader.
"I don't think he's going to die. He's too stubborn to die," she said. "Nothing will change. When he does die in another 50 years, things will get worse. Scarcity will be greater. I'm not very optimistic."
These words contrast with those of Sonia's father in the play, who tells his daughter that Castro's reign will not last. But Sonia never sees her parents again. As we pass the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, it's worth remembering that, in the months that followed the tragedy, many Americans shared with Sonia a fear of flying.
"Sonia Flew" opens Sept. 16 and plays through Oct. 15 at the Laguna Playhouse, 606 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach.

So I did the 30 day challenge a while back and was fairly successful. I managed it without cheating and also lost 14 lbs. I decided to do a cheat weekend after that...this was in January...and haven't stopped.... I've managed to gain back all the weight I've lost and am back to feeling like shit again. I've got tons of excuses as to why I've failed but they are neither here nor there since I've decided to try again.
I try to stay away from specific weight goals but seeing the numbers on the scale do help my morale.
So I'll try to keep this journal the best I can for the next 30 days and on and I will also post my weight periodically just to give myself an idea of how I'm doing.
What helped me last time was that I had a Google group going with a bunch of my friends. We kept each other accountable and it worked out really we'll. So, it would help me immensly throughout the next 30 days if any forum members would like to email me throughout the day with some sort of don't mess up email. You can reach me at email@example.com. I had 5 guys and cake tonight and about ate myself sick so I'm ready to start fresh in the morning, wish me luck!

The population of the Chinese empire was about 120 times larger than the Jurchen tribe, who later renamed themselves to Manchus.

The Song school eventually prevailed due to favor from the Qing emperor and also because some Han texts were determined to be not genuine by scholars of the time.

Perhaps they found it more convenient to come up with evidence that some Han texts were disingenuous due to the prevailing attitudes of the rulers?• Show less

Tips for beginners: Crimping on a shoestringNovember 28th, 2009 by Ava Arie
Crimp beads are placed just before the clasp or in between beads, and are used to secure the ends of the wire, and sometimes to secure the placement of beads (aka "spacers"). They are usually made of metal because they are compressed in order to hold onto the wire.
Like beads, they also come in a variety of colours, shapes, lengths and hole sizes. They typically come in a round or tube shape. The round shape flattens to a circle which may look better, but I find the tube shape easier to handle. As for the size, you should pick the crimp bead with the smallest hole size that fits the wire.
There are specific pliers made for crimping different sizes of crimp beads that you can buy for over $15 each, but if you're a poor university student like me, a small pair of standard pliers will just have to do!
Notice that most pliers have ridges at the tip and a flat area near the joint. I try to use the flat side so that the ridges don't appear on the crimp bead.
Once you are done stringing the bead(s), crimp beads, and your clasp (optional), loop the wire back into the crimp bead(s) and a centimeter or two of the beads. This will give extra security and prevent any unpleasant scratching from the wire ends.
Push the beads up near the clasp/loop, but remember to leave a little room for the beads to move around on the string as well as room for the loop to move around the clasp! Take the pliers and flatten the crimp bead closest to the loop. Don't be afraid to press hard! The tighter the crimp bead is on the wire, the less likely it will slip off after your piece has been worn for a while.
To this!
This is the tricky part: carefully use the flat part of the pliers to hold on half of the pressed crimp bead. Brace it against something flat and push so that the crimp bead forms a U-shape.
Use the flat part of the pliers to press the U-shape together, trim the extra wire…
… and you're done!
If you want to give your beads extra security, you can crimp more than one bead at the end.
~ Ava Arie

Your uncertainty about your financial situation could make you feel conservative when it comes to spending money today. Maybe you think that by holding onto material things, you might feel more secure and prevent loss. Turning your thoughts toward abundance rather than scarcity may help you feel a greater sense of certainty when it comes to your life situation. Should you notice any anxiety arise about your finances today, you can take a deep breath and use an affirmation—a few words or phrase—to redirect your thoughts in a positive and encouraging way. You might consider an expression such as "I have everything I need at the moment" or "My world is full of abundance." Using affirmations could make it easier for you to feel more confident about your life and what you have.
Changing our thoughts from the negative to the positive is a powerful way to help us manifest our dreams. If we think that we have nothing in life or that everything could be taken away at a moment's notice, we draw that form of negative fearful energy to us. Positive thoughts, however, put us in a frame of mind where we are more certain of ourselves. Confidence and positive reinforcement provide us with a different perspective on our lives, since we are not only more likely to appreciate everything we have but are also more apt to reach our goals. By thinking of what you have instead of what you lack today, you will fill your life with untold abundance.

Erie fugitive apprehended in Florida
An Erie man wanted by city police on charges related to a January traffic stop that led to the discovery of drugs was apprehended in Florida this morning.
Members of the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force took Alex Correa-Velez, 38, into custody in Cape Coral, Fla., said Deputy U.S. Marshal Chad Sensor of the agency's Erie office.
Correa-Velez faces charges including possession with intent to deliver in the seizure of about 310 grams of cocaine and a quantity of marijuana from a vehicle that city police stopped in the 1600 block of Liberty Street on Jan. 20.
Police said Correa-Velez ran from the vehicle after it was pulled over. A woman who stayed with the vehicle was taken into custody and charged.
Correa-Velez will be placed in the Lee County Jail in Florida to await extradition back to Erie, Sensor said.

One of NASCAR's biggest names will be back, though.
Track promoter Mike Blackmer announced Wednesday that NASCAR superstar Kyle Busch is expected to compete in the Rowdy 251, a June 21 Tuesday night special. Busch won the template-bodied Late Model stock car race in June at Berlin and will be back to defend his title.
Busch, who won a combined 24 races in NASCAR's top three divisions in 2010, still enjoys grassroots racing.
"Kyle isn't going to race as many Super Late Model races this year, but one of the ones he did pick was the Rowdy," Blackmer said. "He has really enjoyed coming to Grand Rapids. We have a good relationship with him, and he enjoys the fans here and the race. It's pretty exciting to have him back."
The cost to put on high-dollar shows is just too much in these tough economic times, Blackmer said, and that's why he is cutting back on specials. Berlin's weekly classes will race more often next season, and that will enable him to cut general admission prices for the regular shows from $12 to $10.
Berlin's Late Model division will run at least 14 times, while its Super Stocks, Pro Stocks, Modifieds and 4 Cylinders will go a minimum 17 nights. In addition, the track is introducing the Premier Boyne Machine Super Lates, and that class will race six times.
Look for the traveling Vintage Racing Organization of America to join the track's weekly ranks as well. The VROA, which has run on Berlin's anniversary night in the past, has signed on for eight races.
"The only way to run this track in the black is to make sure the weekly show is affordable," Blackmer said. "Some of these series travel so far and the purse is so high, and right now, the economic times don't support it. I can't get enough people in to support these type of events.
"I need my divisions here. Last year, 14 of our 22 events had outside series racing here. The race fan didn't know who was racing from week-to-week."
Berlin's 2011 season will open April 23, with test and tune sessions scheduled for April 8 and 16. Special events include the ARCA Series on July 9. The Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series returns June 4, and the Auto Value Super Sprint Series competes Sept. 3.
The season will conclude with a Sept. 24 program featuring the CRA Super Series and the Great Lakes Outlaw Late Models.

Yquem of the Loire?
by Chris Cree M.W.
Maybe not quite in the same style, but this producer is one of the best in Vouvray. Brilliant wines that seem to be in suspended animation as they slowly evolve from their crisp and focused youth through to their lovely, mature old age. This wine is still quite youthful in color, just now beginning to show some maturity on the nose - only moderate sweetness, with lovely underlying acidity, complex, beautiful mineral undertones keep it lively and fresh. A real treat! Serve with mild spice Asian cuisine, seafood, fois gras, lobster!

Atomic scale control of single molecule charging124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2174961View Description Hide Description
A scanning tunneling microscope was used to study charging of single copper phthalocyanine molecules adsorbed on an ultrathin film grown on a NiAl(110) surface. A double-barrier tunnel junction is formed by a vacuum barrier between the tip and the molecule and an oxide barrier between the molecule and the NiAl. In this geometry the molecule can be charged by the tunnelingelectrons. This charging was found to be strongly dependent on the position of the tip above the molecule and the applied bias voltage.
The calculated infrared spectrum of using a full dimensional ab initio potential surface and dipole moment surface124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2186990View Description Hide Description
We report a full dimensional ab initio-based global potential energy surface (PES) and dipole momentsurface (DMS) for . Both surfaces are symmetric with respect to interchange of the H atoms. The PES is a fit to thousands of electronic energies calculated using the coupled-cluster method (CCSD(T)) with a moderately large basis . The infrared spectrum and vibrational dynamics are reported and compared to experiment. These results are analyzed by examination of wave function and the dipole surface.
Close-packed structures and phase diagram of soft spheres in cylindrical pores124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2172592View Description Hide Description
It is shown for a model system consisting of spherical particles confined in cylindrical pores that the first ten close-packed phases are in one-to-one correspondence with the first ten ways of folding a triangular lattice, each being characterized by a roll-up vector like the single-walled carbon nanotube.Phase diagrams in pressure-diameter and temperature-diameter planes are obtained by inherent-structure calculation and molecular dynamics simulation. The phase boundaries dividing two adjacent phases are infinitely sharp in the low-temperature limit but are blurred as temperature is increased. Existence of such phase boundaries explains rich, diameter-sensitive phase behavior unique for cylindrically confined systems.
Bilayer vesicles as precursors for spherical fractal aggregates from the self-assembly of a -fullerene-dyad in polar solvent124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2186992View Description Hide Description
Spherical fractal aggregates of were formed from a -electronic amphiphile, -didodecyloxybenzene dyad when extracted from THF into water, necessitating a critical dielectric constant in binary THF-water mixtures. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the unit cluster to such a form involves an aggregation number with predominant soft associative molecular interactions which corroborated the octadecahedral model proposed for the cluster growth.

Mutual information and electron correlation in momentum space124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2180777View Description Hide Description
Mutual information and informationentropies in momentum space are proposed as measures of the nonlocal aspects of information. Singlet and triplet state members of the helium isoelectronic series are employed to examine Coulomb and Fermi correlations, and their manifestations, in both the position and momentum space mutual informationmeasures. The triplet state measures exemplify that the magnitude of the spatial correlations relative to the momentum correlations depends on and may be controlled by the strength of the electronic correlation. The examination of one- and two-electron Shannon entropies in the triplet state series yields a crossover point, which is characterized by a localized momentum density. The mutual information density in momentum space illustrates that this localization is accompanied by strong correlation at small values of .
Order-parameter-based Monte Carlo simulation of crystallization124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2178324View Description Hide Description
A Monte Carlo simulation method is presented for simulation of phase transitions, with emphasis on the study of crystallization. The method relies on a random walk in order parameter space to calculate a free energy profile between the two coexisting phases. The energy and volume data generated over the course of the simulation are subsequently reweighed to identify the precise conditions for phase coexistence. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated in the context of crystallization of a purely repulsive Lennard-Jones system. A systematic analysis of precritical and critical nuclei as a function of supercooling reveals a gradual change from a bcc to a fcc structure inside the crystalline nucleus as it grows at large degrees of supercooling. The method is generally applicable and is expected to find applications in systems for which two or more coexisting phases can be distinguished through one or more order parameters.
Computing the density of paths in complex systems124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2181977View Description Hide Description
Trajectories of duration joining two points and in the configuration space of a classical system satisfy Hamilton's principle: they are stationary points of the classical action. The second variation (fluctuations) of the action around the stationary point signals whether the latter is or not a minimum and delivers the density in trajectory space around the points and . This concept of density of paths is of great importance in semiclassical quantum theory, where it weights the contribution to the propagator from the single classical trajectories. In this paper, two algorithms based on the concepts of molecular dynamics simulation are introduced for computing the density of paths, also called van Vleck [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.14, 178 (1928)] determinant. Examples for realistic systems are presented, together with a suggestion about possible applications in the field of rare events in physics and chemistry.
A coherent state approach to semiclassical nonadiabatic dynamics124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2183307View Description Hide Description
A semiclassical (SC) approximation to the quantum mechanical propagator for nonadiabatic systems is derived. Our derivation starts with an exact path integral expression that uses canonical coherent states for the nuclear degrees of freedom and spin coherent states for the electronic degrees of freedom. A stationary path approximation (SPA) is then applied to the path integral to obtain the SC approximation. The SPA results in complex classical trajectories of both nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom and a double ended boundary condition. The root search problem is solved using the previously proposed "real trajectory local search" algorithm. The SC approximation is tested on three simple one dimensional two-state systems proposed by Tully [J. Chem. Phys.93, 1061 (1990)], and the SC results are compared to Ehrenfest and surface hopping predictions. Excellent agreement with quantum results is reached when the SC trajectory is far away from caustics. We discuss the origin of caustics in this SC formalism and the strengths and weaknesses of this approach.
Multimode wavelet basis calculations via the molecular self-consistent-field plus configuration-interaction method124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2183306View Description Hide Description
Wavelets provide potentially useful quantum bases for coupled anharmonic vibrational modes in polyatomic molecules as well as many other problems. A single compact support wavelet family provides a flexible basis with properties of orthogonality, localization, customizable resolution, and systematic improvability for general types of one-dimensional and separable systems. While direct product wavelet bases can be used in coupled multidimensional problems, exponential scaling of basis size with dimensionality ultimately provides limits on the number of coupled modes that can be treated simultaneously in exact quantum calculations. The molecular self-consistent-field plus configuration-interaction method is used here in multimode wavelet calculations to reduce the basis size without sacrificing flexibility or the ability to systematically control errors. Both two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate and three-dimensional curvilinear coordinate systems are examined with wavelets serving as universal bases in each case. The first example uses standard Daubechies [Ten Lectures on Wavelets (SIAM, Philadelphia (1992)]wavelets for each mode and the second adapts symmlet wavelets to intervals for each of the curvilinear coordinates.
Numerical solution of Dalgarno-Lewis equations by a mapped Fourier grid method124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2185639View Description Hide Description
Inhomogeneous radial differential equations emerging in applications of standard perturbation theory are numerically solved by a novel approach making use of Fourier grid methods in conjunction with a simple mapping scheme. The proposed algorithm is applied along the lines of the Dalgarno-Lewis method [Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A223, 70 (1955)] to the calculation of the static dipole polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of , , and states of hydrogen atom and their frequency dependent dynamic dipole polarizabilities. The high efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm are demonstrated for the above test cases, where exact values are available. Then, the frequency dependent dipole polarizability of the ground state of lithium atom is computed by a variationally stable method combining an effective local potential approach with a second-order energy correction. The obtained results are in perfect agreement with other elaborate theoretical approaches.

Nonadiabatic reactant-product decoupling calculation for the reaction124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2181985View Description Hide Description
In this paper we present a theoretical study using time-dependent nonadiabatic reactant-product decoupling method for the state-to-state reactive scattering calculation of reaction on the Alexander-Stark-Werner potential energy surface. In this nonadiabatic state-to-state calculation, the full wave function is partitioned into reactant component and a sum of all product components. The reactant and product components of the wave function are solved independently. For the excited statereaction, the state-to-state reaction probabilities for are calculated. Comparing the state-to-state reaction probabilities, it is found that the vibrational population of the HF product is dominated by vibrational levels and 3. The rotation specific reaction probabilities of HF product in and 2 are larger than those in other rotational levels. As the rotation quantum number increases, the positions of the peak in the rotational reaction probability of HF product in shift to higher collision energy.
Fluorescence excitation and emission spectroscopy of the system of CHBr124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2183302View Description Hide Description
We report fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of CHBr in the region. A total of 30 cold bands involving the pure bending levels with and combination bands , , , , , and in the system were observed, in addition to a number of hot bands. The majority of these are reported and/or rotationally analyzed here for the first time. Spectra were measured under jet-cooled conditions using a pulsed discharge source, and rotational analysis yielded band origins and rotational constants for both bromine isotopomers . The derived vibrational intervals are combined with results of [Yu et al.J. Chem. Phys.115, 5433 (2001)] to derive barriers to linearity for the , , and progressions. The state C–H stretching frequency is determined here for the first time, and the observed dependence of the isotope splitting in the state is in good agreement with theoretical expectations. Our dispersed fluorescence spectra probe the vibrational structure of the state up to above the vibrationless level; the total number of levels observed is more than twice that previously reported. As first reported by [Chen et al.J. Mol. Spectrosc.209, 254 (2001)], these spectra reveal numerous perturbations due to spin-orbit interaction with the low-lying state. The results of a Dunham expansion fit of the ground state vibrational term energies, and comparisons with previous experimental and theoretical studies, are reported. Our results lead to several revised assignments, including the C–H stretching fundamental. Globally, the vibrational frequencies of , , and are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.
Energy transfer of highly vibrationally excited azulene. II. Photodissociation of azulene-Kr van der Waals clusters at 248 and124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2178296View Description Hide Description
Photodissociation of azulene-Kr van der Waals clusters at 266 and was studied using velocity map ion imaging techniques with the time-sliced modification. Scattered azulene molecules produced from the dissociation of clusters were detected by one-photon vacuum ultraviolet ionization. Energy transfer distribution functions were obtained from the measurement of recoil energy distributions. The distribution functions can be described approximately by multiexponential functions. Fragment angular distributions were found to be isotropic. The energy transfer properties show significantly different behavior from those of bimolecular collisions. No supercollisions were observed under the signal-to-noise ratios and 100 at 266 and , respectively. Comparisons with the energy transfer of bimolecular collisions in thermal systems and the crossed-beam experiment within detection limit are made.
Photodissociation of the BrO radical using velocity map ion imaging: Excited state dynamics and accurate evaluation124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2173265View Description Hide Description
We have studied the photodissociation dynamics of expansion-cooled BrO radical both above and below the state threshold using velocity map ion imaging. A recently developed late-mixing flash pyrolytic reactor source was utilized to generate an intense BrO radical molecular beam. The relative electronic product branching ratios at and from were determined. We have investigated the excited state dynamics based on both the product branching and the photofragment angular distributions. We find that above the threshold the contribution of the direct excitation to states other than the state and the role of curve crossing is considerably larger in BrO compared to that observed for ClO, in agreement with recent theoretical studies. The measurement of low velocity photofragments resulting from photodissociation just above the threshold provides an accurate and direct determination of the state dissociation threshold of , leading to a ground state bond energy of .
Pulsed-field ionization electron spectroscopy of group 6 metal (Cr, Mo, and W) bis(benzene) sandwich complexes124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2186307View Description Hide Description
Group 6 metal bis(benzene) sandwich complexes (: , Mo, and W and ) were produced with laser vaporization molecular beam techniques and studied by pulsed-field ionization zero electron kinetic energy spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. Each sandwich complex is in a eclipsed configuration with and as the neutral and cationic ground electronic states, respectively. The adiabatic ionization energies for Cr–, Mo–, and are measured to be 44 081(7), 44 581(10), and , respectively. The metal-benzene stretch and benzene torsion frequencies of the ion are measured to be 264, 277, and and 11, 21, and for Cr–, Mo–, and , respectively. In addition, a C–H out-of-plane bending mode is measured to be for the complex, while a C–C in-plane bending mode is measured to be for the complex. The unusual trend in the ionization energy and metal-benzene stretch frequency indicates strong relativistic effects on tungsten binding.
Molecular dynamics investigations of the dissociation of on an ab initio potential energy surface obtained using neural network methods124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2185638View Description Hide Description
The neural network (NN) procedure to interpolate ab initio data for the purpose of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations has been tested on the system. Unlike other similar NN studies, here, we studied the dissociation of without the initial use of any empirical potential. During the dissociation of into or , the spin multiplicity of the system changes from singlet to triplet in the first reaction and from singlet to pentet in the second. This paper employs four potential surfaces. The first is a NN fit [NN(STP)] to a database comprising the lowest of the singlet, triplet, and pentet energies obtained from density functional calculations in 6673 nuclear configurations. The other three potential surfaces are obtained from NN fits to the singlet, triplet, and pentet-state energies. The dissociationdynamics on the singlet-state and NN(STP) surfaces are reported. The results obtained using the singlet surface correspond to those expected if the reaction were to occur adiabatically. The dynamics on the NN(STP) surface represent those expected if the reaction follows a minimum-energy pathway. This study on a small system demonstrates the application of NNs for MD studies using ab initio data when the spin multiplicity of the system changes during the dissociation process.

Equation of state of nitrogen at high pressures and high temperatures: Molecular dynamics simulation124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2185096View Description Hide Description
Nitrogen equation of state at pressures up to and temperatures above was studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The dynamics of the molecules is treated in hard rotor approximation, i.e., it accounts both translational and rotational degrees of freedom. The rotational motion of the molecule is treated assuming constant moment of inertia of the nitrogen molecule. The new MD program fully accounts anisotropic molecular nitrogen interaction. The interaction potential has been derived by van der Avoird et al. [J. Chem. Phys.84, 1629 (1986)] using the results of high precision Hartree-Fock ab initio quantum mechanical calculations. The potential, fully accounts rotational symmetry of the system, by employing Wigner symbols, i.e., preserving full rotational symmetry of the system. Various numerical algorithms were tested, in order to achieve the energy preservation during the simulation. It has been demonstrated that the standard Verlet algorithm was not preserving the energy for the standard MD time step, equal to . Runge-Kutta fourth order method was able to preserve the energy within relative error, but it requires calculation of the force four times for each time step and therefore it is highly inefficient. A predictor-corrector method of the fifth order (PC5) was found to be efficient and precise and was therefore adopted for the simulation of the molecular nitrogen properties at high pressure.Singer and Fincham algorithms were tested and were found to be as precise as PC5 algorithm and they were also used in the simulation of the equation of state. Results of MD simulations are in very good agreement with the experimental data on nitrogen equation of state at pressures below . For higher pressures, up to , i.e., close to molecular nitrogen stability limit, determined by Nellis et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett.85, 1262 (1984)], the obtained numerical results provide new data of the experimentally unexplored region. These data were formulated in the analytical form of pressure-density-temperature equation of state.
Thermodynamics of symmetric dimers: Lattice density functional theory predictions and simulations124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2185090View Description Hide Description
A new lattice density functional theory(DFT) approach is proposed for symmetric dimers taking into account all possible configurations for molecules adjacent to a central dimer. Comparison with Monte Carlo simulations shows significant improvement of the proposed model compared to previously developed version of lattice DFT for dimers. It is shown that the new model gives accurate analytical solutions over a wide range of densities and temperatures. Phase transitions in dimers are analyzed and fundamental differences between dimers and monomers are discussed.
The dynamic susceptibility in glass forming molecular liquids: The search for universal relaxation patterns II124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2178316View Description Hide Description
The susceptibility spectra of ten molecular glass formers are completely interpolated by an extension of the generalized gamma distribution of correlation times. The data cover at least 15 decades in frequency and the interpolation includes both peak and excess wing. It is shown that the line shape parameters and the time constant of the relaxation are related to each other. Master curves are identified by a scaling procedure that involves only three parameters, namely, the glass transition temperature , the fragility , and the excess wing exponent at . This holds independent of whether a further secondary relaxation peak is present or not. Above a crossover temperature this unique evolution of the line shape parameters breaks down, and a crossover to a simple peak susceptibility without excess wing is observed. Here, the frequency-temperature superposition principle holds in good approximation up to temperatures well above the melting point. It turns out that the crossover coincides with the temperature at which the low-temperature Vogel-Fulcher law starts to fail upon heating. Thus, the so-called Stickel temperature gets a more physical meaning as it marks a qualitative change in the evolution of the susceptibility spectra of glass formers. Moreover, the interrelation of the line shape parameters can explain why the "Nagel scaling" works in some approximation. Our study demonstrates that the excess wing in molecular glass formers is a secondary relaxation, which is linked to the process in a unique way.
Soft sticky dipole-quadrupole-octupole potential energy function for liquid water: An approximate moment expansion124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161201View Description Hide Description
A new, efficient potential energy function for liquid water is presented here. The new model, which is referred here as the soft sticky dipole-quadrupole-octupole (SSDQO) model, describes a water molecule as a Lennard-Jones sphere with point dipole, quadrupole, and octupole moments. It is a single-point model and resembles the hard-sphere sticky dipole potential model for water by Bratko et al. [J. Chem. Phys.83, 6367 (1985)] and the soft sticky dipole model by Ichiye and Liu [J. Phys. Chem.100, 2723 (1996)] except now the sticky potential consists of an approximate moment expansion for the dimer interaction potential, which is much faster than the true moment expansion. The object here is to demonstrate that the SSDQO potential energy function can accurately mimic the potential energy function of a multipoint model using the moments of that model. First, the SSDQO potential energy function using the dipole, quadruple, and octupole moments from SPC/E, TIP3P, or TIP5P is shown to reproduce the dimer potential energy functions of the respective multipoint model. In addition, in Monte Carlo simulations of the pure liquid at room temperature, SSDQO reproduces radial distribution functions of the respective model. However, the Monte Carlo simulations using the SSDQO model are about three times faster than those using the three-point models and the long-range interactions decay faster for SSDQO ( and faster) than for multipoint models. Moreover, the contribution of each moment to the energetics and other properties can be determined. Overall, the simplicity, efficiency, and accuracy of the SSDQO potential energy function make it potentially very useful for studies of aqueous solvation by computer simulations.

Fasteners for Vogue 1335
Warning: picture-heavy post ahead. This is my last post about constructing Vogue 1335, which I started sewing way back in March. Hopefully I'll get some pictures of it in action soon.
Vogue's version of this style has optional tab closures made from scraps of leather and poppers. The pattern also has marking for snaps inside the jacket which are supposed to provide the real closure mechanism. The tabs are just decorative.
I originally wanted to use the tabs on my version, so I made these from some faux leather I got on eBay. However as the project wore on I started to think that the tabs I'd made were a little too yellow against the winter white shell fabric I was using. When I finally came to the stage where the tabs had to be stitched on I decided not to use them and looked for something else.
Much internet searching and several failed purchases later I acquired these things:
The fasteners are from Macculloch and Wallis and at the time of writing are available here. One of the difficulties with finding them was that there doesn't seem to be a standard name for this type of fastener. Macculloch and Wallis call them 'trigger lock' fasteners, but if you google that term you'll mostly find a slightly different type of gadget intended for attaching straps to handbags. I've seen the coat fastener variety called 'hook and dee' or 'fireman' fasteners on US sites but had no luck finding them for sale under those names.
The rivet setting tools came from Amazon. I also got a pack of extra rivets which provided useful practice material before taking the hammer to my jacket and fasteners.
The rivets were quite tricky to install. Thumping them with the hammer wasn't difficult but keeping them straight was. The results aren't entirely straight and square but luckily that's not obvious unless you get very close indeed.
One nice and unexpected thing was that it turned out that two external fasteners are enough and I didn't need to install the internal snaps. I am useless at sewing snaps – they never stay attached for long! I've had to reapply the snaps on my Burda coat more than once. This jacket sits perfectly without snaps; probably a testament to all the extra interfacing in it.
So that's it for construction. I'll try to get some pictures of the jacket being worn soon.

I like these snaps better! I love this jacket
Looks amazing, can't wait to see it worn!
These trigger fasteners are just the right touch for this fantastic jacket! I love your couture makes.
I think your coat is stunning, so much prettier than the original. Your fasteners are perfect and don't detract from the gorgeous detail of the coat. One's eye lands on them last and then appreciates them separately. This is one of the most beautiful garments you've done – and you have done so many!
