Submitted to: Woodfiber Plastics Composites Conference Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 8/27/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Starch is an attractive material for use in biodegradable plastics, because of its low cost and inherent biodegradability. The primary method of converting starch into useful plastic materials is extrusion. Extrusion subjects the starch to high temperatures and high pressures, which can cause degradation of the starch. In this work, extrusion effects on starch were studied. It was found that conditions of high pressure at lower temperatures could completely melt the starch. Higher temperatures also melted the starch, but at high extruder speeds some of the starch granules remained intact. In another aspect of this work, it was found that when starch was extruded at high speed during a second extrusion step, there was less degradation than at low speed. These results show that extruder design and operating conditions are critical in starch conversion. Knowledge of starch degradation during extrusion is important to researchers in the area of starch utilization in biodegradable plastics, since the degree of degradation during extrusion significantly impacts the properties of the starch-based material.
Technical Abstract: There has been considerable interest in the use of starch in biodegradable plastic applications in recent years, with particular emphasis on thermoplastic starch. Thermoplastic starch results from the disruption of the native granule structure induced by the temperature, shear, and pressure generated during extrusion. Process parameters including moisture content, screw speed, screw configuration, temperature, and additives significantly influence the rheological and structural properties of thermoplastic starch. This paper discussed the impact of several of these variables on thermoplastic starch.

When I got married 17 years ago, I imagined a life of unending romance and teamwork with my husband that would satisfy all of my dreams and desires. Needless to say, I had a rude awakening. The first year was much more difficult than anyone ever told me it would be, and by year nine I was so disenchanted, I thought I could never turn my marriage around.
I then had an epiphany.
Instead of trying to change everything that I thought was "wrong" with my husband, I needed to look in the mirror at myself. I found that I was not the wife I needed to be, and changing my approaches led to an overall change in not only my husband, but our entire marriage as well. I have made the analogy that marriage is like a journey on open water - the seven seas to be exact - that you must navigate.
After writing the book, Sailing the Seven C's of Marriage: Having the Marriage You've Always Wanted, I have gained insights that I hope will strengthen all marriages, no matter where on the marriage journey they are.
We embark on our marriage journey like a honeymooning couple embarks on a cruise ship - holding hands, looking each other in the eye, and having easy conversation that never ends. After leaving port, we may encounter our first of many waves - a fight or misunderstanding - that rocks our boat a little bit. Eventually we regain our footing and reach for our spouse's hand, but something has been damaged ever so slightly.
After a while, a series of waves reaches the bow and each one does a little more damage until we don't reach for each other's hand, look each other in the eye, or wish to converse any more. In order to navigate these storms, we must be intentional and know they are coming. We can weather-proof our marriage to some extent, but we must also know how to repair it in order to be stronger after the storms.
The key to a strong marriage is the approach of being self-less. Our society tells us that we should look to self-gratification in everything we do. We should get personal pleasure out of our efforts; otherwise they are not worth our energy.
Unfortunately, many people have bought into this way of thinking. A wife dwells on the fact that her husband hasn't paid much attention to her or done anything for her lately and a husband is bothered by the wife that nags him about every little thing he does or doesn't do. This is a recipe for disaster, and that is what our society is experiencing as evidenced by a divorce rate of 33-50% depending on the source. Without a strong marriage, a family weakens. Without strong families, society weakens. We must regain the commitment to a strong society through a strong family structure and that requires a self-less commitment to the marriage relationship.
I argue that through this commitment, a husband and wife will find gratification above and beyond any the world promises them. They can do that by understanding the "Seven C's" of marriage which include the Command for marriage, a Commitment to marriage, Communication, Couple time, agreeing on issues with their Currency, putting Christ at the center of the marriage, and supporting each other's endeavors in the Community.
Our lives are very hectic. It doesn't matter if you have children or not, the age of your children if you have them, or whether or not you work outside of the home. We are busy prioritizing all of the things that we are told will get us or our family ahead in life. We are urged to make time for exercise and time for ourselves.
To be a better person we may give our time to help a friend in need. What gets neglected in the daily schedule is our husband or wife. Forgetting to prioritize the most important person in your life, the person you embarked on the journey with in the first place, weakens even the strongest of romances.
After two years the initial infatuation is gone, and unless we rekindle the spark regularly, it may seem to burn out. You can rekindle the flame and have it burn strong again. I have learned that this takes constant effort and attention.
Strengthening your marriage will seem like strengthening your muscles. It may be hard to get motivated, especially if you feel your spouse is unappreciative. Just start. Start with one act of kindness, one small word, one kiss. Stay devoted to this priority each day.
You may feel "sore" at first, just like after a workout, but it will get easier. You will become more accustomed to thinking about your spouse and trying to find different ways to serve them. Thinking "self-lessly" will begin to come naturally. Just as your body becomes stronger and healthier, so will your marriage. You will be surprised and pleased at the results.

Second. Not to rain on your parade, but your posts strike me as curious. You seem willing to engage in hand to hand confrontations, but unwilling to engage in firearm confrontations.
I want to caution you that you are not in total control of who, what, where, when, why, or how a confrontation unfolds. Since you are a "good guy", it is your responsibility to react to a situation with the goal of self preservation and a respect for the law.
From the perspective of a prosecutor: If you had a previous history of getting into fights with any of the weapons you have listed, it would greatly hamper saying that you acted in self defense.
It is wise advice to avoid, de-escalate, or evade any situation in which you possibly can. If that is not possible, it is prudent to respond quickly, effectively, and within the law.
Most States consider a knife, baton, brass knuckles... deadly weapons. If i was in a situation where I needed to use a deadly weapon, you bet I would want the most effective. For me, that means firearm. Any sort of edged or impact weapon is a backup to that firearm.
Get some training, learn your State's law, get a firearm, get your permit, and loose any traces of aggression.
best wishes

The Ugly Duckling Musical
Book & Lyrics by Anthony Drewe
Music by George Stiles
Directed by Doug Wertz
Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling", this delightful adaptation of one of the most beloved fables of all time is a quackingly good time.

I have a Toyota Tacoma pick-up and the headlights were beginning to oxidize pretty bad. I was at the dealer getting my oil changed when I inquired on the replacement price. I about fell over when they said $279.00 + tax (7%). I could not believe the headlights would be almost $600 to replace so I went online to www.Go-Parts.com and seen the same headlights for $50.00. I ordered one thinking I would take a chance and worried if I would be disappointed. They arrived quickly and to my surprise were exactly the same (minus the oxidation) and went in no problem. They even came with new bulbs already in them. I ordered the other headlight and had the same great experience. Go-Parts has exceeded my expectations in service, quality, and price. I recommend the site to everyone I know!
Price Quality Average: 5 / 5 starsI had to get a new headlight kit after having an accident. I went to the Buick place and they wanted $600.00 to repair it. That was more than I could afford. My daughter found you on internet and ordered the part I needed plus the windshield washer motor which was not a necessity but I figured for the price I'd get it. I was thrilled with the swiftness of delivery. I loved the way they packaged the headlight. No harm could come to it on its way here. I had a friend who did the work for $50.00 and it was done in 20 minutes. It was so easy! I definitely will tell friends about this web site. I had a huge savings. The Buick place wanted $150.00 to do the motor thing. What a rip off!! I had no idea. Keep up the good work and I thank you. It was so easy to do it on the computer.by Janet T.
Price Quality Average: 4.5 / 5 starsThe part was in excellent condition and arrived within the time frame they said it would. Great experience!!!by rodyme1
Price Quality Average: 4 / 5 starsi did my research online and GO-Parts came top as the cheapest, good quality and delivered on time. I was skeptical if its the original as it was so cheap but turned out to be a good quality. Sure will order my parts from go-part moving forward.by okeydom

Candy Season: Best and Worst Halloween Candy
The candy consumption begins. It all starts this weekend with Halloween, unless you've already opened the jumbo packs of Snickers, that are supposed to be for the trick-or-treaters at your door on Sunday. I'm not judging…
Make sure you do grab enough treats of your own though because it will probably last you until Christmas. That's where the fun continues. Christmas candy is just as big as Halloween. There are too many flavors of candy canes to count.
I remember when it was solely about the red-and-white-striped peppermint candy cane, that you didn't eat until you took down the tree. Now, candy canes are irresistibly colorful, sweet and sour.
After the holidays pass, and the year ends, you think you've made it safely without having to hit up your dentist. Then, Valentine's Day comes around, with the quickness, and you probably eat enough candy for you and the Valentine you do…or don't have. I'm still not judging.
By now, you've already said, to hell with your New Year's Resolutions to stay away from sugar and decide to splurge on chocolate with the Easter bunny. We get it.
Eating candy is not a crime but splurging is never good if you want to stay away from the dentist and cardiologist.
Make smart choices and have good oral hygiene. Brush, floss, gargle and floss some more. Eat candy in moderation, like everything else that's bad in the world.
Here is MSNBC's List of the 5 Best and Worst Halloween Candies:
1. Jolly Ranchers: Three of these hard candies have 70 calories, no fat and 11 grams of sugar.
2. Blow Pops: This 18-gram candy-gum combo has 60 calories, no fat and 13 grams of sugar.
3. Gobstoppers: Nine pieces of this treat have 60 calories, no fat and 14 grams of sugar.
4. Pixy Stix: There are 60 calories, 0 grams of fat and 15 grams of sugar in seven straws of this fruit-flavored candy.
5. Candy Corn: Nineteen pieces of this ultimate Halloween candy has 140 calories, no fat and 32 grams of sugar.
1. Mr. Goodbar: A 49-gram bar has 250 calories, 17 grams of fat (including seven grams of saturated fat) and 23 grams of sugar.
2. NutRageous: a 51-gram amounts to 260 calories, 16 grams of fat (including five grams of saturated fat) and 22 grams of sugar.
3. Snickers: A 59-gram bar has 280 calories, 14 grams of fat (five grams of saturated fat) and 30 grams of sugar.
4. Baby Ruth: A 60-gram bar has 280 calories, 14 grams of fat (8 grams of saturated fat).
5. Mounds: 230 calories, 13 grams of fat and 21 grams of sugar. It also has 10 grams of saturated fat.
So now that you have choices this Halloween and for the whole candy season, be responsible. Enjoy being a kid again, but don't forget about your health and your teeth.

Cruz Keeps Going And Going And Going And Going
Texas Senator Ted Cruz has been on the Senate floor since 1:40 yesterday afternoon in his latest attempt to stop Obamacare.
"Everyone in America understands Obamacare is destroying jobs and driving up health care costs," Cruz said. "The only way to stop this is for Republicans to stand united and to deny the majority leader the ability to fund Obamacare."
Cruz says he will talk until 'he can't stand anymore, and even read 'Green Eggs and Ham' by Dr. Seuss. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid tried to stop him with a motion that failed.
"The ransom demanded by Republicans to keep the government open is unworkable and unrealistic," Reid stated. "These fanatics point to disapproval of Obamacare as justification for taking the government and our economy hostage to their demands."
Democrats aren't the only ones standing up to Cruz. He faces opposition in his
own party from Republicans like Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Click the photo to WATCH LIVE:
"I am supporting the House bill. Not only does it defund this terrible law. It doesn't increase government spending by a penny. It keeps the government from shutting down," McConnell said.
While all of this is going on President Barack Obama is in New York still campaigning for his unpopular bill.
"When people see they can get high quality, affordable health care for less than their cell phone bill they are going to sign up," Obama explained.
This is not a filibuster, but an attempt by Cruz to keep Reid from amending the House bill that defunded Obamacare. No matter what happens with Cruz the Senate will hold a procedural vote on that bill shortly after noon.

- - Green Flash (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/21377-green-flash.html)
Green Flash
I have been sailing many years and toasted more sunsets than I can say. That being said, with all of my efforts, the only time I have ever seen "the green flash" was when I regretfully tried to re-light my barbeque grill after it had blown out 5 minutes earlier.
No lying... now: Is that for real?
I'll bet your complete lack of all facial hair is proof to that story. I also confess to never seeing the green flash . . . even at Mallory Square, when the crowd chimed in unison to have seen it - my wife and I didn't. I think it's a myth supported through the years by psychosemantics.
Either it is a myth, or I have failed to consume sufficient alcohol before the toast.
I have stood at Key West and pushed my way through the crowd, and watched... pretty orange and yellows, but nothing more. Nice to know I am not the only one.
PS, TrueBlue, as far as the Barbie goes, the chicken just did not taste right that night. Luckily, some of it did land back in the boat, so we blamed it on a dirty deck....
I have actively searched out the green flash for years. Over the last 20 or so years there must have been over 100 sunsets when conditions were "perfect" for the green flash. I have stared at the sunset standing amongst people who celebrated seeing it and still I have not witnessed it. The closest I came was when I badly banged my head in the companion way just after sunset. I think it is an illusion- try staring at a orange light in a dark room, then turn of the orange light, what do you see? I think it's something along that or a hoax by bartenders to build up happy hour business. For me a sunset in a beautiful place is a good enough reason for a rum!
I think sailphoto fits in just fine as a sailor... though I must say, the bottle can go empty even on a cloudy sunless day.
(Oh, that rhymed!!)
I've never seen the flash, but my father swears he saw it once. From Wikipedia:
Green flashes and green rays are rare optical phenomena that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible for a short period of time above the sun, or a green ray shoots up from the sunset point. It is usually observed from a low altitude where there is an unobstructed view of the horizon, such as on the ocean.
Its explanation lies in refraction of light (as in a prism) in the atmosphere and is enhanced by atmospheric inversions. Whilst we would expect to see a blue light, the blue is dispersed (this is why the sky is blue) and only the green light remains visible.
With slight magnification (caution: never point binoculars or a telescope at the sun), a green rim on the top limb of the solar disk can be seen on most clear-day sunsets. However the flash or ray effects require a stronger layering of the atmosphere and a mirage which serves to magnify the green for a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds.
For more see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash
I've seen the green rim in Jotun's post numerous times -- like a spark, brief and subtle, when watching sunset over an ocean horizon. (even some times when we weren't drinking! LOL) and a close friend has seen it once at sunrise in the Caribbean. Though I've never seen the sky go green -- yet -- I'll keep watching.
Interestingly, I've also been told that it's more common further north, due to the lower angle of the sun's rays. OTOH, I'm not inclined to sit out in my parka on a windy shore any longer than I have to ;-)
Well...I have seen it off the Turks&Caicos...once in all my years of sailing. The day was clear and sunny but with some high cumulus clouds which during the day looked green on their bottoms due to the reflection of the water. This was actually more beautiful than the "flash" which was quite brief and caught me by surprise. I was a skeptic too...but no more!
Yeah, if it's hazy at all, the green spark won't happen. If the sun starts turning lemon-y as it approaches the horizon, instead of orange or red, you've got a decent chance. We had more luck in Barbados than anywhere else, maybe the isolation there?
I thought the green bottoms of the clouds was reflection from land?? Wasn't that how Columbus found us?

Timbuk2 has long been the bag of choice for the bike messenger. But what happens when designers adapt that street-ready platform for the jet-set form?
Timbuk2 Command TSA-Compliant Laptop Bag
Customizable as a set of Legos. Ballistic nylon wipes down easy. Metal buckles ensure sturdy connections. Side entry pocket lets you quickly sift through the bag without messing the main flap. Wheelie-suitcase compatible.
Light on laptop protection. Loses shape when it isn't fully loaded. Still makes you look like a '90s San Francisco bike messenger. Shoulder strap needs regular adjustment.
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
You get the Command, Timbuk2's carryall that conforms to the Transportation Security Administration's new carry-on baggage rules. Built from heavy nylon, the sack is only a half step away from the spartan messenger bags you probably toted in college. And, just like those outdoorsy tanks, the Command remains both strong and water-resistant. Underneath the front flap hides an ecosystem of organization with color-coded pouches for change, keys, gadgets and pretty much anything short of a six-pack. Rounding out the convenience is a roomy main pocket, outfitted with a couple of smaller pouches and a detachable organizational hub for storing additional gadgets, pens and even water bottles.
The backside hides a dedicated laptop pocket with its own sleeve. Unfortunately, the studded interior of this sleeve is more middling than muscular. With no real cushion on the bag's backside, the bubbly foam padding is intended to offer support from everyday shunts and bumps. However, the studs themselves are surprisingly thin and appear to be full of air. This doesn't necessarily make the feature pointless (it's better than nothing), but it's clearly a half-assed whack at sturdiness.
What's well-executed is the Command's TSA-compliant conversion. All it takes is a single zipper and the bag splits in half, ready to lay flat on an airport X-ray machine. The resulting look is inelegant — almost as if the bag committed seppuku and collapsed prostrate — but the precious minutes saved by not having to remove the laptop is totally worth it. With one more zip we had everything reassembled and ready to move.
Make no mistake: Tthis bag is still much more at home on a hipster zipping around on a fixie than at the airport. But if urban laptop-schlepping is your wish, this is most definitely your Command.

text: Look, it's Derrick Rose's first dunk of the year! No, seriously, we're not kidding. As impossible as it sounds, this rather tame two-handed jam by Rose is the first one he's pulled off all year, at least according to Basketball-Reference. Actually, it's more correct to say this is Rose's first in-game dunk of the year. Rose dunked in practice earlier in the season, and he apparently treated it like an event, which is just the saddest thing ever.

Roger Federer's Changing Game Evident in Swiss Indoors BaselOctober 22, 2012
There is no one who was actually concerned for Roger Federer's first round match against Germany's Benjamin Becker at the Swiss Indoors Basel. But, nowadays, with Federer's game under even more scrutiny than usual, every match the Swiss plays has a certain gravity. Federer prevailed 7-5, 6-3 in just under an hour and a half. As has been happening often lately, Federer got off to a slow start, but was able to rely on his serve and Becker's errors to keep out of danger.
In the first set, Federer had eight break points and managed to convert only one—Becker double faulted. Federer's net play was not up to par and he netted several balls that should have been winners. However, longer points tended to go in favor of Fed, and his lateral movement was good. Even playing below average, Federer's movement was as graceful as ever, and he appeared to have much more time getting to each shot and loading up than Becker. Federer's characteristic wrist whip allowed him to hit through his forehand and generate a heavy ball, arguably the best forehand on tour.
Federer seemed to be getting into a rhythm at the end of the first set, but Becker broke serve early in the second. Federer quickly broke back, held and broke again to take the lead and close out the set. Never at any point during the match did it seem like Federer was in peril. Why, then, do Federer's errors today seem like causes for alarm?
The standard of play fans have come to expect from Federer is almost unreasonable. A match won at a score of anything other than 6-0, 6-0 is considered noteworthy, and a stray backhand triggers stories of decline. The hubbub made over the three consecutive double faults at the Shanghai Rolex Masters was enormous, whereas it is hardly news that Federer served three aces in a row against Becker today. These days, it is taking Federer longer to get to his peak level of play during a match. Sometimes it takes half a set, but it can take up to two sets—as demonstrated against Julien Benneteau in the third round of Wimbledon. Against Becker, the longer acclimation period did not harm Federer, but it will against top-10 players. Allowing Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray to take the first set makes it that much more difficult for Federer, who likes to play at a fast pace, to equalize. He is certainly capable of coming from behind, but he is a more successful front runner.
Another factor contributing to the intense scrutiny Federer is subject to is the concreteness of his retirement. In an interview prior to the Swiss Indoors Basel, the World No. 1 mentioned that he intends to play two to five more years on tour (via Roger Federer Fans). While two to five years is quite a range, up until now the time frame of Federer's retirement was so nebulous that it did not affect how his matches were interpreted. During this year's Olympics, Federer mentioned the possibility of playing the 2016 Games in Rio so long as he is in good health, indicating that he does not see retirement in the near future (via ESPN). The more recent interview, however, puts Federer's career in a new light. Two years is remarkably soon and would mean a major loss to the tennis world.
With retirement possibly not too far off, everyone is looking for signs of decline from the 17-time Grand Slam champion. If you watch a match with an eye out for problems, you will undoubtedly find them and blow them out of proportion. Still, no one expects Federer to bow out in the first round. We expect him to make it to the final and to win the whole tournament. Federer fans always believe Roger will pull through. Even when he is down two sets and losing, they have faith that he will figure out a way to win and they are typically rewarded. He made it through five-setters at Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year, but how much longer will he be a fixture at the quarters and semis of the Majors?
It was big news at Wimbledon when Federer called for a medical time out. His back was hurting and he was seen wearing a black compression shirt underneath his tennis whites for the rest of the tournament. Immediately, rumors of failing health precipitated retirement speculation. At 31 years old, and with peers like Andy Roddick retiring, Federer must expect to be asked about the end of his career at nearly every press conference. Though the Swiss is five years older than fourth-ranked Rafa Nadal, it would not be shocking to see the Spaniard retire first. The length of Nadal's hiatus has demonstrated the seriousness of his injuries and his style of play will not make it easy to stay healthy. Federer's age makes him seem a likely candidate for retirement, but being exceptional in every regard he cannot be held to the same standard as the average player.
The years of three Grand Slam titles per annum may be over, but Federer is far from losing in first rounds. Federer's drive and motivation are still very strong and he has an insatiable hunger that is only increased by the desire to prove critics wrong. If he does retire in two years, it would not be surprising to see him leave with several Major trophies before he calls it quits. But now that the term "vintage Federer" is being applied to his better performances, tennis fans have to acknowledge that the end is closing in on the widely regarded Greatest of All Time. Though Federer may not be at his peak any longer, the criticism is irrelevant. Very few players now, and in the history of tennis, would be capable of playing below peak and still hold the No. 1 ranking.

Kiss at midnight in Paris to ring in the New Year, and immerse yourselves in the rich and romantic culture.
The Destination
Many dream of finding love amid the cobbled lanes and ancient cathedrals of Paris, but it's hard not to fall head over heels for the city itself. Home to more than two million people, France's capital is easily one of the most gorgeous destinations on earth. Here, a stroll along the Seine sparks a lifetime of memories and an evening atop the Eiffel Tower inspires an abundance of smiles. When it comes to exquisite cuisine, cafés, bistros, brasseries, patisseries, and creperies beckon at every corner, with many boasting flower-lined patios perfect for enjoying a buttery croissant or a glass of Bordeaux.
On New Year's Eve, Paris's nickname takes on a whole new meaning. The City of Light is not only aglow with fireworks raining down behind a silhouetted Eiffel Tower but also sparkling with crowds of vibrantly dressed revelers toasting flutes of Champagne and lighting off their own legally purchased firecrackers. Join the party on an eight-day trip to Paris, courtesy of go-today.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Scrappy, a Hamilton Turkish Van cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Turkish Van for sale in Hamilton, or seeking a Turkish Van cat from a breeder in Hamilton.

Brunfelsia plowmaniana

|Scientific classification
|B. plowmaniana
|Binomial name
|Brunfelsia plowmaniana
N.Filipowicz & M.Nee
Brunfelsia plowmaniana[1] is a species of flowering plant of the nightshade family that is native to the cloud forests of the Bolivian and Argentinian Andes. It was first described in 2012 on the basis of systematic DNA barcoding of specimens from the genus Brunfelsia. Specimens belonging to the new species had previously been placed in the polymorphic species B. uniflora, which a molecular phylogeny revealed as polyphyletic.
The species was named in honor of the American botanist Timothy Plowman (1944-1989) who had worked on neotropical plants of ethnobotanic importance and provided the first and only comprehensive taxonomic treatments of the genus Brunfelsia.[2] [3][4]
Molecular diagnosis[edit]
The new species differs from all other species of Brunfelsia at several nucleotide positions in the plastid ndhF gene and in the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region.
The shrubs or small trees mostly have a single stem of up to 14 cm in diameter at the base, and they branch only above the base, typically 1–4 m and sometimes up to 10 m high. The bark is peeling or flaking, light gray or yellow-brown. Branches with the new twigs are densely covered with up to 0.3 mm long hairs, whereas the older branches exhibit a smooth and glabrous bark. Internodes range from 4–12 mm.
The shiny and dark green leaves are scattered along the branchlets and often also covered with hairs, especially on younger twigs. They vary in size and shape, but are usually widest above the middle with a rather abruptly narrowed apex, similar to many Myrtaceae. The raised and somewhat cartilaginous ring of the corolla throat is reminiscent of that of species of Prestonia (Apocynaceae) from the same geographic region; it probably reflects adaptation to pollinator foraging behaviour. Nothing is known directly of the pollinators, but the floral features described above are shared by other South American brunfelsias for which butterfly pollination has been observed.[4] The stomata are paracytic.
The flower is solitary, terminal and often nodding, fragrant during the day. Both sepals and petals are partially fused and the latter colored violet, though the color fades to white with age, as is common in the South American species of Brunfelsia. The four stamens are adnate to the corolla, and the ovary is bicarpellate and syncarpous. The fruit is obovoid, coriaceous and capsular and reaches about 1 cm in diameter. It is probably green, and perhaps turning dark purple or black when ripe. There are ca. 9 ovoid seeds of about 6 mm in length. There are no observations on fully mature fruits or dispersal of the seeds. Herbarium specimens with ripe or nearly ripe fruits always show them splitting neatly from the top about 1/3 of the way to the base into two equal valves.
Brunfelsia plowmaniana is known from humid forests in the Provinces of Salta and Jujuy in northwestern Argentina, and the Departments of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and La Paz (Inquisivi Province) in Bolivia. It grows at altitudes of 1500–3200 m on the predominantly North–South ridges separated by dry to arid scrub in the intervening valleys, perhaps mostly at the lower altitudinal range in the southern part of the distribution and the upper altitudinal range to the north. It has never been collected in the neighbouring Provinces of Sud Yungas, Nor Yungas and Larecaja in the relatively well-explored central and northern parts of the Department of La Paz.
Brunfelsia plowmaniana lives exclusively in Andean humid or cloud forests and shares its habitat with tree ferns like Dicksonia sellowiana as well as with members of the Podocarpaceae, Betulaceae, Cunoniaceae, Myrtaceae, Clethraceae and Caprifoliaceae families and numerous other Solanaceae. About one in three specimens of Brunfelsia plowmaniana is closely associated with epiphytic lichens, mosses and liverworts, reflecting the cloud forest habitat.
Conservation status[edit]
The species is often found in heavily grazed lower edges of the cloud forest where grazing, deforestation and fires are a threat to local populations. Even though the range is narrow, it is about 800 km long; and many populations are in undisturbed or protected areas.

All You Can Eat
Lucky Peach #11 is our All You Can Eat issue.
We eat and eat and eat some more: at a country club in Boca Raton, at a series of wedding feasts in the Republic of Georgia, in the parking lot outside of the Iron Bowl. We attempt to beat the buffet, see how people stuff themselves at sex parties, hang out with Yu Bo, the best Chinese chef you've never heard of ("All Yu Can Eat"), and learn about ruminant digestion ("All Ewe Can Eat"). Gabrielle Hamilton demonstrates the many ways to enjoy the celery languishing in our crispers; novelist Padgett Powell shoots (then stews) the ubiquitous squirrel. Plus, we take stock of what hunger looks like around the world and of what's for dinner at a prison in Westville, Indiana. Too much? That's the point.

Sleep is not an option!SORRY GUYS, but I have to get some Sleep.
This is a discussion on Boom Stick Holsters within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I met up with Jeff the other day and picked up his S&W40VE proto-type and have been carrying it for a few days and I ...
I met up with Jeff the other day and picked up his S&W40VE proto-type and have been carrying it for a few days and I have to say that I am absolutely amazed by the quality of the holster and the wear of it. It is beautiful and works rather well. I will post pics later. SORRY GUYS, but I have to get some Sleep.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Supporting hunting is not supporting the 2nd Amendment !
Sleep is not an option!SORRY GUYS, but I have to get some Sleep.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Magilla, I'm looking forward to the pics. I ordered one of Boomstick's holsters via email today and within a couple of hours Jeff called me and spent quite a bit of time making sure that I would get exactly what I needed. He seems to be a heckava' nice guy.
Now all I have to do is wait..
I've visited his website many times and his work sure does look top-notch!
...and his posts here suggest that he's properly aware of his skill, but not stuck on himself. I appreciate his attitude and helpfulness; I would assume that this would be reflected in his product and business practices as well.
Jeff makes great holsters. I have four. My wife now uses one of his holsters for OWB.
I'm definitely interested in his IWB model once it's ready for production and he has pricing available.
I'm a newer holster maker. Jeff has always been very helpful to me and he builds a top notch holster.
