In this paper, novel WS2/Bi2MoO6 heterostructured photocatalysts were successfully fabricated via a facile solvothermal growth method using pre-exfoliated layered WS2 nanoslices as a substrate. The structure, morphology, and optical properties of the as-prepared WS2/Bi2MoO6 samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM (HRTEM), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). Results confirmed the existence of an excellent nanojunction interface between layered WS2 nanoslices and Bi2MoO6 nanoflakes. Under visible light (>420 nm), the WS2/Bi2MoO6 composites exhibit significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with pure Bi2MoO6 toward the decomposition of rhodamine B (RhB). Meanwhile, the active species trapping experiments indicated that holes (h+) were the main active species during the photocatalytic reaction. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be ascribed to the effective light harvesting, fast photogenerated electron–hole pairs separation, and excellent charge carrier transport of the WS2/Bi2MoO6 heterostructures. Moreover, the prepared WS2/Bi2MoO6 composites also show good structural and activity stability in repeatability experiments.

- Photocatalysis
The photocatalysis is widely regarded as one of the most promising environmental remediation technique due to the clean energy utilization method [1, 2]. Generally, some accepted that high-efficient photocatalysts with wide forbidden gap, such as TiO2 and ZnO, can only utilize ultraviolet light irradiation [3]. As to practical application, photocatalysis strategy will be a huge boost once a photocatalyst can favorably absorb the abundant solar energy in visible region. For this purpose, many attempts to probe visible-light photocatalyst for sufficient solar energy utilization by using the narrow band semiconductor [4–6]. Despite the single-phase photocatalyst can be excited smoothly by visible light, it still manifests low energy conversion efficiency due to poor charge separation efficiency resulting from rapid recombination of photo-induced electrons and holes [7]. It is widely accepted that the heterostructure can improve the separation probability of light-induced charge because the contact interfacial region of heterojunction will provide an internal electric field to restrain the recombination probability, thus resulting in an efficient photocatalytic performance. In general, the designed heterostructure will adopt at least one narrow band semiconductor to harvest more visual-light energy and then to generate more photo-induced charges [8, 9].
As a novel photocatalyst, Bi2MoO6 has received attention in the field of visual-light-driven photocatalysis because it possesses distinct sandwiched layered structure [10, 11]. As previously mentioned, the pure Bi2MoO6 is not suitable for the utilization as an efficient visible-light photocatalyst due to the high recombination probability of photogenerated charge carrier. Therefore, some effective strategies to meet this challenge by using the architecture of proper hybrid nanostructure and especially the introduction of two dimensional (2D) nanosheets have been proved as an effectual approach to strengthen interfacial charge transfer between two components in the process of photocatalytic reaction. Obviously, it is anticipated that the heterostructure between Bi2MoO6 and 2D layered material will increase photocatalytic efficiency by visual-light irradiation [8].
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are widely regarded as a kind of promising loading material because of their analogous graphene reticular structure [12, 13]. Especially, monolayer and few layers of TMDs have important application for catalysis and energy storage due to their distinct electronic properties and high specific surface areas [14, 15]. For example, monolayered and few-layer MoS2 have recently paid the attention of the scientific community in photocatalysis research, which ascribes the lack of interlayer coupling and the absence of inversion symmetry resulting in the photoelectric property that differ markedly from those of the bulk [14, 16, 17]. From the material design perspective for an efficient visible-light-driven sensitized heterojunctional photocatalyst, the primary concern is that the hybrid narrow band gaps (1.1–1.7 eV) can closely match the solar spectrum [18]. In fact, the typical 2D layered semiconductors, such as MoS2 or g-C3N4, have received significant attention to explore potential photocatalysis applications, which lead to TMD nanosheet which is often utilized as a supporter to establish the heterostructured composite photocatalysts via different energy band hybrid strategies [19, 20]. For instance, the hierarchical MoS2/Bi2MoO6 composites exhibited an efficient performance for photocatalytic oxidation of rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation [21]. However, the mono- or few-layer heterostructured architecture of WS2/Bi2MoO6 as a visual-light photocatalyst has not been reported.
Herein, we demonstrated a facile strategy to fabricate heterostructured WS2/Bi2MoO6 composite via a facile solvothermal growth method using pre-exfoliated layered WS2 nanoslices as a supporter. The WS2/Bi2MoO6 exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible-light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. According to the microstructure characterization analysis of XRD, XPS, SEM, and TEM, the possible photocatalytic mechanism of the few-layer WS2/Bi2MoO6 composite was also elucidated. It is believed that the formation of junctions between Bi2MoO6 and WS2 can allow the prompt migration of photogenerated charge and reduce the self-agglomeration. It is postulated that the excellent photocatalytic activity of WS2/Bi2MoO6 should be ascribed to its high migration efficiency of photo-induced carriers and the interfacial electronic interaction. These results also probably provide a valuable perspective to insight into the design of other heterostructured photocatalysts.
Preparation of the Few-Layer WS2 Nanoslices
The liquid exfoliation of layered commercial WS2 was accomplished following the modified report method [22]. Briefly, 50 mg commercial WS2 powder (purchased from Aladdin Industrial Corporation) was added to 20 mL of ethanol/water with EtOH volume fractions of 40% added as dispersion solvent. The sealed flask was sonicated for 10 h, and then the dispersion was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 20 min to remove aggregations. Finally, the supernatant was collected to obtain few-layer WS2 nanoslices. To determine the concentrations of 2D nanosheets in the supernatant, we estimated the mass remaining in the supernatant by measuring the UV-vis absorption spectrum at fixed wavelength of 630 nm. The calculation result by virtue of Lambert–Beer Law indicated that the exfoliated WS2 dispersion concentration was about 0.265 ± 0.02 mg/ml.
Synthesis of Hierarchical WS2/Bi2MoO6 Composites
The WS2/Bi2MoO6 samples were synthesized using a facile solvothermal method. Typically, 2 mmol of Bi(NO3)3·5H2O was added to 10 mL of ethylene glycol solution containing dissolved Na2MoO4·2H2O with the Bi/Mo molar ratio of 2:1 under magnetic stirring. An appropriate amount of exfoliated WS2 nanoslices was dispersed into 20 mL ethanol and ultrasonicated at room temperature for 45 min. Then, it was slowly added into the above solution, followed by stirring for 10 min to form a homogeneous phase. The resulting solution was transferred into a 50-mL Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and kept at 160 °C for 10 h. Subsequently, the autoclave was cooled to room temperature gradually. Finally, the precipitate was centrifuged and washed with ethanol and deionized water several times and dried in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 6 h. According to this method, WS2/Bi2MoO6 composites with different WS2 mass ratios (1, 3, 5, and 7 wt%) were synthesized. For comparison, the blank Bi2MoO6 was prepared in the absence of WS2 using the same experimental conditions.
Characterization of Photocatalysts
Structure and morphology of the sample was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM; JEOL JSM-6701F, Japan), transmission electron microscopy (TEM; JEOL 2100, Japan), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM; JEOL 2100, Japan), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD; Bruker D8 Advance using Cu-Kα radiation source, λ = 1.5406 Å, USA). The ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) of samples were performed at room temperature in the range of 200–800 nm on a UV-vis spectrophotometer (Cary 500 Scan Spectrophotometers,Varian, USA) equipped with an integrating sphere attachment. The electronic states of surface elements of the catalysts were identified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS; Shimadzu Corporation, Japan, Al-Kα X-ray source).
Measurement of Photocatalytic Activity
where C is RhB concentration at reaction time t, C 0 is the adsorption/desorption equilibrium concentration of RhB at the starting reaction time, and A and A 0 are the corresponding absorbance values.
In addition, to identify the active species generated during photocatalytic reactivity, various scavengers were added into the solution of RhB, including 2 mM isopropanol (IPA, a quencher of ·OH), 2 mM disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA; a quencher of h+), and 2 mM p-benzoquinone (BQ; a ·O2 − scavenger), and 40 mL/min N2 (an electron quencher). The comparative trials of photocatalytic degradation were performed under the same reaction conditions as those mentioned above.
Results and Discussion
Micostructure and Morphology Analysis
Electronic Structure and Spectrum Analysis
where α, hv, A, and E g are absorption coefficient, photon energy, proportionality constant, and bandgap, respectively. The value of n is determined by the type of transition (direct (n = 1) or indirect (n = 4)) [27, 28]. A plot of (ahv)2 versus (hv) is converted according the UV-Vis-DRS. As shown in Fig. 5b, the E g values of pure WS2 and Bi2MoO6 have been estimated to be 1.47 and 2.72 eV, respectively.
Photocatalytic Activity
In addition, the pseudo-first-order kinetics model was used to fit the experimental data of the photocatalytic degradation of the RhB solution, and the results are given in Fig. 6b. The rate constant k is 0.0280 min−1 for the hierarchical WS2/Bi2MoO6 (5 wt%) composites, which is 3.8 and 7.1 times greater than those of mechanically mixed WS2 and Bi2MoO6 and pure Bi2MoO6, respectively. These results indicated that RhB could be degraded more efficiently by the hierarchical WS2/Bi2MoO6 composite photocatalyst.
Catalyst Stability
Possible Photocatalytic Mechanism
To explain the enhanced photocatalytic performance, conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) of WS2 and Bi2MoO6 potentials should be calculated. For a semiconductor, the bottom CB and top VB can be estimated by the empirical formula [31]: E CB = X − E 0 − 0.5E g and E VB = E CB + E g, where E CB (E VB) is the CB (VB) edge potential; X is the electronegativity of the semiconductor; E 0 is the energy of free electrons of the hydrogenscale (~4.5 eV vs NHE); and E g is the band gap energy of the semiconductor obtained from the UV-visible diffuse reflectance absorption. The X values for WS2 and Bi2MoO6 are calculated to be 5.66 and 5.55 eV, respectively [28, 32, 33]. Thus, E CB and E VB values of WS2 are determined to be +0.43 and +1.9 eV and Bi2MoO6 are −0.31 and +2.41 eV, respectively.
In summary, a novel WS2/Bi2MoO6 heterostructured photocatalysts were successfully fabricated via a facile solvothermal growth method using pre-exfoliated layered WS2 nanoslices as a substrate. The hierarchical WS2/Bi2MoO6 exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible-light irradiation. Based on the results of a series of structure and performance tests, it is believed that there formed a tight nanojunction interface between layered WS2 nanoslices and Bi2MoO6 nanoflakes, which make the photo-induced electrons be easily transferred to the WS2 substrate. As a result, the recombination of charges was decreased and the lifetime of holes was prolonged. Therefore, the hierarchical WS2/Bi2MoO6 composites exhibit much higher visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity than the pure Bi2MoO6. Furthermore, the WS2/Bi2MoO6 composites are very stable under visible-light irradiation and cycling photocatalytic tests. Thus, the as-prepared WS2/Bi2MoO6 photocatalyst has potential application for pollutant abatement.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Gluten Free Hannah.
Becoming gluten free requires some thought whenever there is a plan to do something, especially if the plan involves eating out. I like to know that wherever I may be going, there will be somewhere that accommodates gluten free eaters well, and there will be something I want to eat (basically something on the menu other than salad!).
Since I was a child I have been going to football matches most weekends to support Leicester City. As I got older, this included going to away matches. My dad, grandad, sister and I would travel across the country to the match, and either stop somewhere on the way to eat, or eat at our destination. Since becoming gluten free, this has started getting trickier.
I have had to do more research on the places we head to, and what restaurants are there. If we are going to London, or any other big city for that matter, then it is a lot easier as the range of options is much, much wider. However, not all football grounds are close to the city centre amongst lots of restaurants.
Last weekend we travelled to Swansea, and the football ground is a way out from Swansea city centre, with very little around it. There is a Harvester pub and Frankie & Benny's close by, both would have been fine had they not been fully booked.
On the other side of the road, was Rossi's, a fish and chip takeaway with a small seating area inside. Having checked the menu online, I could see that they offered some gluten free options, but if that failed, then they had some other options such as jacket potatoes.
I was delighted when I got there and was told that I could have gluten free cod and chips. It didn't disappoint either! The weather was grey, wet and windy, and eating before the match meant not knowing if Leicester City had won or lost yet, but at least if we lost, I'd had a lovely meal of fish and chips that day! Turns out we won, so it was a good day, with good food as well!
Planning days out can be tricky, however, with enough research and organisation beforehand, they don't have to be complicated. There is just no element of surprise, since if you're like me, you've probably already checked out the menu chosen your meal!
Thank you for reading, don't forget to subscribe to email updates to be notified every time I upload a new blog post, and you can also follow me on twitter @glutenfree_han
Until next time,

January 28
After a walk with Joy and Shiloh, we set out early to start exploring the area. Too early, because the Ajo visitors center isn't open yet. I don't feel like waiting around…so off we go to find the two main BLM camping areas nearby.
First we come to Darby Wells Road. No problem to find it, since there is a big road sign a short way out of town. We drive down the road a bit before I start to see an RV here and there. There are not many, yet there is one in every space that is fairly 'convenient', and won't require pulling WS over a difficult road area.
I'm not feeling good about the place like I thought I would, which is a disappointment. I'm learning to go with my gut though (thanks Gibbs, NCIS). 🙂
I get back on the main road and head south towards Why which is less than 10 miles from where I am. Ajo is small with a population of less than 4000, but Why is infinitesimal with less than 200 folks.
I use Allstays on my iPad to find the BLM area that I'm looking for. When the dot that is 'me' gets to the spot on the map where BLM area is I pull over and look around. Between piles of gravel and dirt by the side of the road I see the way I should go…I see the cattle guard I need to cross and then I see RV's dotting the desert. I already feel better here! I see a sign board and a group of people and their dogs, talking. No the dogs aren't talking, I mean the people are. I'm not in Narnia. I stop to talk, too. I tell them I am scouting for a spot and they tell me there are lots of spots, and they give advice as to which roads to try. They tell me there has been a lot of road erosion here in the past couple of years.
The roads I try are ok, the desert is beautiful, and there are enough people and RV's around to make me feel comfortable, but not so many as to make it seem crowded.
This place gets my vote!
I also stop into 'Coyote Howls', a unique RV camping area nearby. It has two parts with about a half mile between them. 'West' has hookups and is small. 'East' has no hookups and is 200 acres of land, dump sites, water spigots, showers, laundry, and trash removal. East is $9 a night, $40 a week, or $130 a month.
We head back to Ajo and now the visitor center is open. I stop in for maps of the area, and ask a few questions. The most pressing is, "I've heard there is a dog park in town. Where is it?" I'm shown Bud Walker Park on the map and off we go.
We spend two hours there! When we arrive, the other folks there are gathered around the picnic table. Turns out they are all from the same RV park where I'm staying. While throwing balls we compare notes on travel. The dogs are enjoying themselves and it's a nice visit for the humans, too.
Before going back to camp I stop at Olsens Market, mostly too look, though I do buy some greens. Oh, and some chocolate. :-). It's a grocery store that doubles as a hardware store. I make two more stops before heading home, at resale shops. I end up with two books.
Speaking of books, I've just finished "The Children Of First Man", by James Alexander Thom. It's the third book by this author that I've read. This story is a Native American history (fiction based of fact) that takes place between the years of 1169 and 1838. Thom does a huge amount of research for his writing, so there is a lot to be learned by reading his books. More than 20 years ago I read his book "Follow The River" which is just excellent and left a lasting impression on me. The other one I read recently was "Panther In The Sky", which I also enjoyed.
Anyway, back at the RV park I've decided to stay here for a full week, mostly due to rain forecasts. I go to the office and pay up! $144 for the week. After the rent I've paid in California for so many years, $144 for a week almost feels free.
My current plan…next week head out to the BLM near Why! In the meantime, explore the area near me and spend lots of time at the dog park!

I can find most of my favorite Northern Vietnam's foods around my house, but there is one thing (actually, a few things belonging to the same clan) that I have to travel all the way to central Hanoi to get find an authentic version. I'm talking about Phở. Nopeeee, not the bowl of noodles submerged in broth, but its brothless counterparts: Phở cuốn, Phở chiên phồng, and Phở trộn. At the arguably most famous restaurant in Hanoi offering these specialties, the ever-packed Hương Mai, I had the chance to share some most delectable noodle dishes with my friends and the bf >v<
Our first order was Phở cuốn (noodle rolls/40000 VND). It is basically a roll made with stir-fried beef and herbs (usually Vietnamese basil) as the filling, and a relatively thick piece of rice noodle as the wrapper. Extremely simple, yet it tastes surprisingly delicious. The key is the perfect balance between the aromatic, strong, flavor of the basil and the juicy, somewhat peppery, beef slices. Don't forget to dip each roll in the sweet and sour sauce with thin slices of green papaya for the full experience:
Phở chiên phồng (fried noodles/45000 VND) is well, fried noodles. But don't let the English name fool you. It is nothing at all like the more famous fried noodles such as Pad thai or Char kway teow. Each piece of square rice noodle is fried to perfect golden goodness, crispy on the outside yet silky inside. These noodle squares (now looking like tofu cubes) are served with stir-fried beef & vegetables (I don't know the English name of this thing, all that I know is that it is a relative of Kai-lan).
Next came Phở trộn (mixed noodles/35000 VND). It is a plate of thin sliced noodles mixed with sweet and sour sauce, stir-fried beef, a bit of herbs, and lots of ground peanuts for extra crunch. A refreshing, somewhat light, dish; it helped cut the grease from our previous fried noodles, but had a bit too much of the sweet and sour sauce.
At this specific noodle restaurant, as a custom, the high-carb menu always has one, and one only, protein dish: Chả ngan nướng (grilled siam duck/80000 VND). Paired with pungent but oh-so-addictive fermented shrimp paste and Vietnamese basil, each moist, flavorful, morsel of duck was such a delight.
In addition to these kinds of noodles, you should also try Phở chiên trứng (fried noodles with egg) & Phở chua (kinda similar to Phở trộn but much better; this restaurant, sadly, doesn't offer this stuff of wonder). Anyway, Phở cuốn & its brothless fellows are actually my favorite versions of noodles, and are one of the few things I love about Hanoi =}

I just finished submitting my subscription to the best publication to ever be printed. That's right...MAD MAGAZINE! I had no idea this mag was still in circulation. I was just sitting in my recliner reminiscing about my youth, and one of the good memories was I remembered going to my grandparents house in San Antonio throughout the 70's. One of my uncle's still lived at home and I would sleep in his room when we visited.
There was always a copy of Mad laying around his room. Us kids would get sent to bed at night and I would climb in bed and look at this cool, weird magazine that I only really understood half of its content. I would force myself to look through the entire mag before enjoying the grand finale'...the fold in on the back cover. I loved this mag and for many years after the 70's, if I saw a copy on the news stand, I instantly reflected back to my childhood.
So you can imagine my delight tonight when I typed the magazine into a search engine and discovered it still existed. And it's not a bad deal 16 issues for $20. I cant wait to get my first copy.
P.S. Thanks to Wendy and Momthatsnuts for checking in on me.

What a magnificent movie! Talk about eye candy. The fact that the movie was filmed at Versailles alone makes it worth viewing. The rooms, the grounds...breathtaking! But add ridiculously beautiful costumes, gravity defying hairstyles, a very well-chosen soundtrack, and Sofia Copola as director...this movie is made even more remarkable.
I know a lot of critics have touched upon Coppola's choice of Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette. And despite my own reservations regarding Dunst's ability to play such a role, I was really impressed. It wasn't entirely what Dunst did with the character (although, notably, Dunst was quite lovely) as it was Coppola's ability to utilize Dunst effectively in this role.
I love how Coppola's films don't rely on heavy dialogue. "Lost in Translation" is easily one of my favorite movies for that reason. The nuances of character are not forced upon the viewer through dialogue. Rather, scene, music, motion, and lengthy shots of a character's expression...all give more powerful glimpses into the emotions and inclinations of the characters. Coppola does the same here in "Marie Antoinette." I love the carriage rides, hunting excursions in the country, awkward mealtimes, and Marie Antoinette's indoor and outdoor strolls/loungings. Coppola's creative style is refreshing without being bizarre. Amazing cinematography.
Interestingly, the movie was booed (especially by the French) when it debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. However, it also received a standing ovation...illustrating just how divided critics are on this film. It definitely is not traditional in style but that fact lends heavily to its appeal.
After watching this movie two days in a row, I had some very grand daydreams. When, where, and how could I justify getting dressed up like that?! Could I even get my hair done that high?!
After watching the movie, I am also kicking myself once again for not having visited Versailles while I was in Paris. I really wanted to spend a full day there but just got so consumed in the city that I didn't make it. So, it is at the top of my list for my next visit, which I eagerly anticipate.

"Marie Antoinette" (2006)
What a magnificent movie! Talk about eye candy. The fact that the movie was filmed at Versailles alone makes it worth viewing. The rooms, the grounds...breathtaking! But add ridiculously beautiful costumes, gravity defying hairstyles, a very well-chosen soundtrack, and Sofia Copola as director...this movie is made even more remarkable.

Louis la Vache suggests that before you visit Versailles, take the RER "D" line from Gare de Lyon in Paris to Melun visit the château that became the model for Versailles, Vaux-le-Vicomte
Vaux-le-Vicomte has a scandalous history - its original owner, Nicolas Fouquet, was framed by Louis XIV's minister, Colbert.
The gardens first at Vaux-le-Vicomte then at Versailles were designed by Andre le Nôtre, whose birthday, coincidentally, is today!

I thought it might be an interesting film, but I was put off by promotional poster. Somehow, Marie Antoinette seemed far too decadent. Maybe that was the point.

Louis...thank you so much for the tip. I will definitely check out those links to your blog soon, as I'd love to learn more about Vaux-le-Vicomte, etc. You realize this only incites my desire to return to Paris very soon, don't you?! :)
Richard...yeah, the promotional poster seems to have put off quite a few people I talked to. The movie is very over-the-top with decadence but it is beautiful if you can stomach such. Amidst all the gaudiness however, are some lovely scenes of the grounds/gardens of Versailles and the countryside. With that said, it could very well be classified as a "chick flick" however. :)
Apparently, Marie Antoinette was quite decadent for several years in her youth as queen. However, she drastically changed her ways, particularly after having children. This fact has often been misrepresented or overlooked in the history of her life. But the later years of her life seem to be highlighted more accurately as of late, indicating that she was rather courageous and not at all obsessed with material objects. The movie however, looks at her life only at Versailles, so yes, it certainly reinforces those years of her life in ridiculous excess.

I'm glad to see the Olympics starting again. We're the type of family who puts everything on hold for these two weeks to watch. We get EuroSport with Russian commentating and English breaks. EuroSport appears to replay things through the European night, so we can pick up some of the things we missed since we're 5 hours ahead of Europe. They had a 90-minute version of the opening ceremonies on twice today. We missed a lot of the disco music. Although we didn't miss the dancing cows.
There is one lone Kyrgyz representative- a snowboarder [I just checked the official site and they had him as a skier; maybe that one got lost in translation]. He had a group of six others to go with him though. It's a bit dangerous to be associated with the Olympic movement in Kyrgyzstan. Several of the recent assassinations have had ties to the Olympics, and the current head criminal in the country wants to head up the Kyrgyz Olympic Association.

Thousands rally in London against terror and extremism
In a positive sign, thousands of Muslims rallied in Central London yesterday against terror and extremism. Of course, this received basically no press, beyond a mention on Andrew Sullivan and of course that mention above in Pickled Politics. We need to highlight the good works of good Muslims, and the media should not be covering things like this:

Los Angeles actress Jennifer Aniston seems very generous to her new boyfriend, Justin Theroux. Recently, Jennifer's jacket was bought for USD $ 100 million for Justin.
As reported by Showbizspy on Monday (8/23/2011), the jacket is a birthday gift to Justin-40. Jackets are very expensive because it had previously worn the legendary actor James Dean in one of his films.
More romantic, Jennifer also writes poetry for Justin. The poem was read by movie stars 'Marley & Me' in front of his friends at the party.
"The story of their love like in fairy tales," said one friend of Jennifer.
Justin was touted as the only man she loved Jen after her divorce from Brad Pitt. Previously with Justin, she was dating Vince Vaughn, John Mayer and Paul Sculfor

WINNIPEG – Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger has rewarded some key loyalists and shut out some of his most vocal critics in the first cabinet shuffle since a leadership challenge he barely survived.
Selinger lost five top ministers late last year when they resigned after calling for him to step down. None of them is back in cabinet.
Selinger said Wednesday he didn't offer a position to any of them except Theresa Oswald, who lost the leadership by 33 votes. She turned it down.
"I deeply respect her reasons for deciding not to proceed at this time," he said. "We are a unified caucus now."
Oswald said she declined because she hasn't made up her mind whether to run again.
"I felt it was really important for my colleagues, who are feeling certain about their path going forward, to have an opportunity to showcase their talents in cabinet," she said.
She and the other rebels are happy to mentor rookie ministers and are working behind the scenes to unify the fractured party, she said.
Backbencher Mohinder Saran, who delivered more than 100 crucial votes to Selinger's leadership campaign, was rewarded with the housing portfolio. Steve Ashton, who also ran against Selinger, is returning to transportation and emergency measures.
It's going to take some time to heal the wounds left by the leadership challenge, Ashton said.
"In less than a year, we're going to face the real adversary," he said, referring to the next provincial election. "It's important to be united."
Conservation Minister Gord Mackintosh moves to the justice portfolio, while James Allum heads back to education from justice. Former education minister Peter Bjornson is not running again and was dropped from cabinet.
Family Services Minister Kerri Irvin-Ross — who has taken criticism for the use of hotels to house children in care — now shares the title of deputy premier with Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson.
Backbencher Tom Nevakshonoff, who supported Ashton and has raised the ire of flood victims by appearing to downplay their plight, was appointed conservation and water stewardship minister.
Former finance boss Jennifer Howard, one of the five ministers who resigned, said she is focused on her Winnipeg constituency and the birth of her second child.
"My plate is full and my life is good," she said in an emailed statement.
The revolt was prompted by the NDP's plummeting popularity following a decision to increase the provincial sales tax. The party has been trying to mend fences since Selinger's razor-thin victory, but he has not publicly offered an olive branch to his detractors.
"The premier was in a very tough spot for a while there. He was looking for support," said Royce Koop, who teaches political science at the University of Manitoba. "The question is, are we OK with the premier using cabinet positions to reward people that helped him get out of a political pickle?"
Conservative Leader Brian Pallister said the shuffle rewarded "failed ministers" such as Irvin-Ross and other Selinger supporters.
"What we have is a premier who clearly put partisanship ahead of the province of Manitoba's best interests," Pallister said. "He's rewarded his supporters in a leadership contest and he's penalized those who didn't support him."

Are you looking for a Psychic Reading in Showell Maryland 21862.
Psychic Reading Showell Maryland 21862
A psychic reading can empower you. All of us have life obstacles that stop us dead in our tracks. The idea is to keep going and to see a method around or over the difficulty. Every problem has within it the seeds of its own solution. Let us take a closer look at empowerment.There are numerous methods a psychic reading can empower you:1. A psychic reading offers validation. You have subtle sensations about something and you feel it is true though you have no way of validating your sensations. What you need is validation from an outside source to see if it is a match to your answer. You already have the subtle insight into the problem at hand but now you need to make sure. A legitimate response from a 2nd source indicates your insight is looking respectable! 2. A psychic reading supplies dream interpretation
. Typically dreams have actually concealed significances and messages for us on the ideal strategy we ought to take. Dream cautions show us the safest course for the best of all concerned. We can sometimes get confused with dreams. A psychic reading can translate your dreams and give you suggesting to all of the action and symbols within a dream. In a serious problem or mission on the material aircraft we are typically given spirit assist with dreams. Our problem remains in the interpretation of what the dream means. As soon as we work this out we have it fixed once and for all.3. Spiritual development. There are lots of going on retreats and visiting ashrams nowadays
. Spiritual advancement is in. It is common to seek guidance on the best meditation course and the method to improve individual development. We can all improve our mind, body, and spirit. Exactly what we focus upon grows and this applies to our spiritual journey as much as anything else. The pattern is purely material objects fail to please so one relies on the spirit knowledge of the past. Spiritual worths are becoming more important to a greater number as we end up being more fully grown in our outlook.4. Pleased domesticity. A psychic reading can recognize exactly what is missing in a pleased family life. Happiness in the house can be more of a dream than a reality
. Fighting and anger takes its toll. It is one concept to speak about peace and consistency in the family however how? This is our predicament. If we discover where we have the negative energy in the house we can do something about it and fix it. Negative emotions resemble toxin to household living. This option is to very first identify what is the reason for the majority of the negativity and then take actions to move the energy into a more favorable direction.5. Energy blockages. Among the most significant obstructions to inner development is energy clogs. Any sort of inner block stops circulation. Maybe we experienced some negative occasion in the past that has left its
residue and still the pain remains. If we do nothing it is only going to get worse.A psychic reading is one way to empowerment. Personal freedom is all about expanding your possibilities. This is exactly what makes life fun.

The Art of Cross Training
If there is one thing I'm an expert in, it is cross training. I have suffered from a stress fracture in my hip, to calf strains, swollen ankles, or just about any other running injury you could imagine. And the funny (if that's the right word) thing is, I always saw it coming – every single time. But I could never bring myself to cross train, as I should have. I have developed a love/hate relationship with the bike, elliptical, and stair master. I love them because they keep me in shape, but I hate them because they keep me inside. Nevertheless, I owe all of these machines a big part of my fitness, because without them, I'd be a few pounds heavier with a not so great aerobic capacity. So for that, thank you bike, elliptical, and stair master.
Cross training can be difficult for some runners for the mere fact that it is not running. Why be inside climbing stairs to nowhere when you could be outside, cruising along to wherever you want? But cross training has so many benefits it is almost unimaginable to not include it in your training plan. The purpose of cross training is to improve performance by doing sports other than running. It works new muscle groups, provides others a rest, and gives your mind a break as well.
I'd like to share two of my personal favorite (and in my mind, most beneficial) forms of cross training, 1) hot yoga and 2) the bike.
Bikram Hot Yoga is yoga taken to an entirely new level. It is a 90 minute class that consists of 26 postures in a room of 105 degrees. Now if that doesn't sound like fun, I'm not sure what does. There is nothing like trying to do camel pose after having the heat take away your very breath and leave you nothing short of just plain nauseous. It takes your body and pushes it to its max and then some. But the feeling you have when you walk out of that studio, is something like no other – almost like finishing your first race. I remember the first time I completed a class. I just sat in my car and was unable to have a real thought except to just be still and take it all in. I'm imagining that in other yoga classes, that is what they mean when they talk about silencing all of "the chatter" in your life. I couldn't have had a real thought even if I wanted to (well maybe "What the hell?" passed through my mind once or twice). Once I started going regularly, my body felt like it never had before. My body parts were in alignment. My hips were stronger and I stood a little taller. And of course, all of this translated to better running. It got to a point where Wednesday became my favorite day of the week, because even though I had to set aside 2 ½ hours to go to Bikram (driving there, class, and then driving home), my body thanked me everyday. I highly encourage you to give it a try , or maybe a few tries, to experience what hot yoga can give your body. You just might actually like it. And even if hot yoga isn't your thing, any form of yoga is sure to offer your running legs some much needed benefits.
My second favorite cross training activity is the bike. Perhaps my inspiration to start biking came after I started seeing people leave a spin class – sometimes I'm not that sweaty even after 10 miles of running. I did some research, started following Lance Armstrong on Twitter and after some post-marathon aches and pains, decided to put my knowledge to the test. My mantra was if it didn't hurt, I wasn't pushing hard enough. I also would wear the Livestrong bracelet for a little Lance motivation. Well after incorporating speed intervals on the bike into my training, I ran my fastest half marathon (1:37) with no other real speed work. From that point on, I took two days a week to do something other than running.
If I've learned anything in my 10 years of running, it is that every body is different. Some people can run 75 miles a week while others can only run 40. I use to be so upset with myself if I wasn't meeting the mileage I had planned for the week, but I now know my body can safely run about 50 miles a week, and that is it! Any more than that, and I'm asking for injuries. So instead of beating myself up about it, cross training has given me an outlet and still allowed me to excel at my running.
If you are looking to incorporate some new activities into your workout schedule, try the following:
- Do an activity other than running the day after a hard workout, the day before a long run, or both.
- Do activities that work similar muscles as running – bike, elliptical, stairs
- Keep your heart rate up – if you aren't really sweating, then you aren't working hard enough
- Take a rest day – you deserve it after all of your hard work.
Although biking and climbing stairs are not doing what we truly love, they will certainly help to keep your running career alive a little longer. Never underestimate the power of doing something different – the challenge could bring you some very unexpected rewards.
Happy Trails and Happy Running,
Thanks so much for the article post. Really Cool.November 17, 2011

This is to avoid interference to the PTO network. If this modem is to be used with a PBX which has extension wiring owned by BT, connection of the modem to the PBX can only be carried out by BT; or, by the authorised maintainer of the PBX unless the authorised maintainer has been given 14 days written notice that the connection is to be made by another person, and that period of notice has expired. This modem is suitable for use only on telephone lines provided with LoopDisconnect or Multi-Frequency Dialing facilities. Users of this modem are advised that the approval is for connection to the PSTN via the telephone line interface supplied with it. Connection of a modem to the PSTN by any other means will invalidate the approval. There is no guarantee of correct working in all circumstances. Any difficulties should be referred to your supplier. Some network operators require that intended users of their network request permission to connect and for the installation of an appropriate socket. Ringer Equivalence Number The ringer equivalence number (REN) of this modem is 1. REN is a guide to the maximum number of apparatuses that can be simultaneously connected to one telephone line.

A Caymanian bishop has been honored in the service of religion and motivation in Portmore, Jamaica.
Juliette Fagan received the award during Portmore's Municipality Heroes Day ceremony Tuesday.
Ms Fagan's travels took her to Jamaica several years ago on a mission from her church in Cayman – Vision Church of God on McField Lane, Eastern Avenue in George Town.
Since that time, the pastor and surgical technologist with more than 20 years' experience in the medical field has furthered her studies in alternative medicine while sharing her faith in God with the people of Jamaica.
Portmore's deputy mayor, Leon Thomas, said he was proud of the ministry work being carried out in the Greater Portmore and Daytona area.
"It was during a period when two areas were at war and within weeks of the ministry tent being erected in the community, the war had ceased as the church brought peace, unity and calm to the area," he said.
Ms Fagan currently oversees two church branches in Jamaica and plans to extend to other parishes. She also intends to complete the establishment of a Bible school after hosting Bible studies for students in Cayman and in Jamaica.

Alan Jaras Photography - A Bridge Between Art & Science
Taken directly form his flickr page:
"Using traditional photographic techniques and pieces of complex shaped glass and plastics I project these patterns directly on to colour film. The resulting images and photographs that you see are purely analogue and are not computer generated, but a true representation of the patterns formed by the light beam after its complex journey through the refractive objects I create. These are analogue images of the refraction patterns of a beam of light passing through various transparent objects. The image is captured directly on to 35mm film, no camera lens is used, the transparent object replaces the lens. Colour is introduced by placing specially prepared coloured filters directly in the light beam."

3/06/10 Rev. Daniels, 52
I was out at a store and had a good amount of time in which to witness so I began a conversation with a fellow shopper. As it turned out, Rev. Daniels is a preacher at a very large church. I enjoyed our conversation - we even spent a good deal of time talking about witnessing - but before I knew it all my spare time had been used up. In hindsight, I wish I had cut this conversation short in order to stay on my mission to share Christ with the lost. Sometimes even fellowship must join the list of things we must forsake if we are to stay true to our great commission.

MamaSaysOm - Ache
Dear Britt,
I am so many things. A woman, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a pilgrim, a warrior, a poet, a dreamer, a life unfolding, a journey through rough and wild territory, and of course a mother. I am so many things. And it may be hard for you to see all the pieces that form my whole, all the pieces that are constantly pulling me in their different directions, raising their voices, demanding to be heard, coming alive when I give them even the tiniest bit of attention. It may be hard for you to see because when you look at me you see one thing: your mother. Motherhood is one of the pieces, one of the most important pieces, if you can really call any one more important than the others. I don't know that you will ever be able to see beyond my role as your mother. Everything I do, every choice, every action, you will view through eyes that see me as mommy...mama...mom...mother. I try to keep a record of my life. All my parts and pieces play out their story through my words. One day maybe you'll read them. Maybe you'll turn the pages of my life and begin to see someone who is so many things, who is so much more than your mother. Maybe the words will begin to fill in the gaps, begin to explain the ache of being pulled in so many different directions, the ache of wanting so much out of life, the ache of playing so many roles at once and never quite knowing if you're being seen as a full person or only as a portion of who you really are. You'll be an adult one day and maybe one evening while you're watching your own child kick a soccer ball around the back yard you'll feel your own ache--the ache that tells you you're right where you need to be but...but you used to be someone else and that life still calls you, but you feel so much inside and you know that must be lived out too, but you are so much more than that child will ever comprehend, but you don't know where to start, but it seems so overwhelming, but... Maybe the ache is about past, present, and future all existing at one time within your soul. Maybe the lesson is learning to be present, truly present and alive to all of it. I don't expect you to see me as anything more than your mother, not any time soon. But maybe one day you'll begin to see the other pieces of the puzzle and then the picture you carry around of me in your heart will become bigger, fuller, more whole and complete.
I am so many things
I am your mother

I couldve written this.. I to made this decision about a month ago... I realized that no love compares to the love of my son... I made the decision to stay in my marriage - regardless of past hurts, and made the decision to make myself happy.. the weight that has lifted is amazing...

Here's another one of my ensembles from the weekend if you're looking for some inspiration for a night out on the town! I've really been digging the T-shirt dress/over the knee boots look. It's sassy and fun without showing too much. I paired mine with shorts since the shirt I'm wearing is more of just a long T-shirt vs. a T-shirt dress. I could definitely use a few more of these in my closet.
This shirt style is not exactly what I'm usually drawn to when I'm out shopping. But for some reason I was really intrigued by this particular one, so I thought I'd take it for a spin. I learned from my mother that sometimes things look different on you than from how they look on the hanger, so it's always best to try it on. And you know what? I really ended up liking it! Challenge your doubts every now and again.
I seem to be having a lot more guest appearances lately, ha!
Challenge your doubts.
