Abstract Functionalization of Polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE powders of ~6 μm particle size is carried out using low-pressure 2.45 GHz H2, NH3 microwave plasmas for various durations 2.5, 10 h to chemically modify their surface and alter their surface energy. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy XPS analyses reveal that plasma treatment leads to significant defluorination F-C atomic ratio of 1.13 and 1.30 for 10 h NH3 and H2 plasma treatments, respectively vs. 1.86 for pristine PTFE, along with the incorporation of functional polar moieties on the surface, resulting in enhanced wettability. Analysis of temperature dependent XPS revealed a loss of surface moieties above 200 °C, however, the functional groups are not completely removable even at higher temperatures >300 °C, thus enabling the use of plasma treated PTFE powders as potential tribological fillers in high temperature engineering polymers. Ageing studies carried over a period of 12 months revealed that while the surface changes degenerate over time, again, they are not completely reversible. These functionalised PTFE powders can be further used for applications into smart, high performance materials such as tribological fillers for engineering polymers and bio-medical, bio-material applications.

Although European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn told reporters this morning that a collateral deal with Finland would soon no longer be a concern, his positivity is misleading.
Finnish officials remain -- at least by any public accounts -- as zealous as ever about the need for collateral in return for the Greek bailout agreement announced on July 21. No reports have surfaced about any deal that would placate other eurozone sovereigns and sidestep a credit event.
Finnish Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen said in the FT today, "I think we are going to debate about it, but unfortunately I don't see that we can find a solution tonight," in reference to today's meeting of eurozone financial ministers. She added that she had "no idea " when a deal would be struck, according to WSJ.
Earlier today, Rehn predicted that the bailout and EFSF agreement would be passed by early October so that the funds could be disbursed by the middle of the month.
If the EFSF is to be passed in the next two weeks, then a collateral deal must be reached to move this process forward. Any agreement will also require the approval of each of the other 16 members of the euro area.
Until such a deal is reached, the Greek bailout -- and the fate of the euro -- remains in jeopardy.

Bulk Edit Address Book Contacts 3
This tip comes inspired from my friend who likes to do everything the long winded way. I like quick short methods that get the job done. If you haven't guessed by the title this is a really quick method for changing lots of Address Book contacts. Its slightly long winded but if a lot quicker than typing the results by hand. You can't actually do this in Address Book, so we need to employ a second program, a text editor.
The first major step is to export the contacts you want to change. We are going edit directly the .vcf file which is used to store all of the address book data. Select all of the contacts you want to change, either the group of contacts or individually using the command key and click on each one. Then drag these contacts onto the desktop. Your Mac will work its magic and create one big .vcf file (which is actually all of your contacts as one file). This file in essence if a big text file which we can change.
The next step is to right click on the file and select "Open With" select your favourite text editor. TextEdit will do. Inside the file you will see lots of text that looks like a mess. The next step is to simply do a search and replace. Most items will be separated by a semi-colon ( ; ) so bare this in mind if you are changing multi line addresses. If you do a search and replace I recommend going through the items one at a time. Hitting change all could change things you don't want to.
The final step is to save and drag the vcf file back into Address Book. It will ask if you want to review the differences, hit Import and it will override all of the files.
Simple to do, although it does involve using a second program. Still quicker than changing each one by hand.

Hello Gunars! Could you briefly introduce yourself?
I'm the CEO and co-founder of IT House. By using technologies like Ruby on Rails, Elixir, and React Native, my team and I have helped crowdfunding projects, fintech projects, news portals, marketplace platforms, community networks, and e-commerce companies create custom sites and apps. I've also participated in two accelerator programs, StartupBootcamp and Ignite100.
As an original co-founder and board member of TechHub Riga, the first TechHub expansion from London, I cultivate collaborative spaces for emerging entrepreneurs and tech startups to come together to learn, share, and grow. I'm one of two people responsible for bringing Garage48, a 48-hour hackathon event, to Latvia. As a central figure in Latvia's Ruby on Rails community, I organize regular meetups for like-minded tech enthusiasts. While I'm a curator at StartupDigest for Latvia, I'm also an active supporter of the burgeoning startup scene in the Baltic Rim and Nordic countries.
I enjoy running, hiking, rock climbing, traveling, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Why did you decide to start curating Startup Digest?
Around 2010, when I traveled in the U.S. for several months, I met Christopher McCann, one of the founders of StartupDigest. At that time Chris even made pancake breakfasts for friends and the local community in Silicon Valley. I liked the idea and the Startup Digest team, and I decided that it would be great to add Latvia to the list.
What is the value that Startup Digest brings both to your local community and to you personally?
Startup Digest helps people who are interested in Latvia learn what kind of events are happening in Latvia; either they follow us on a regular basis, or they want to attend some events and plan their journey accordingly. Or they visit Latvia for a few days, and Startup Digest helps them quickly find what's going on and what kind of events they would like to attend.
Of course, the local community also benefits from Startup Digest—by meeting potential investors or similar thinking minds, or by finding events that match their interests.
I'm happy that more and more people and startups can make new connections, exchange knowledge, and make new deals, using Startup Digest
How have you seen the Latvian ecosystem develop over the years since you've started curating Startup Digest?
I believe that Startup Digest is a niche news source of information for people; and it's one channel, together with Facebook and Twitter. Compared to Facebook and Twitter, the information on Startup Digest is topical, and the events are better structured, and therefore more accessible for anyone who doesn't want to get lost in the noise of news, tweets, or posts. I've seen how Startup Digest has helped startups make new business and friend connections.

I have been working on the tutorial for the petal cuff capris posted earlier this week. At one point I was sewing over multiple layers of fabric and some elastic. there was a little bit of bulk. Well I have a quick tip here that I thought I'd share.
I you've ever sewn bulky layers before you know that your presser foot and feed dogs can throw a little tantrum with it.
See how the presser foot is angled up over the fabrics? This can cause feeding issues, uneven stitches, and broken needles...not to mention frustrated mama! Easy fix.
I tend to just grab whatever scrap I have nearby. In this case, I grabbed elastic. Now throw it under the back of your presser foot and viola! Happy sewing machine, happy mama :) See how the presser is foot is at a nice flat angle now. You may have to fold you scrap piece over a few times to match the thickness of the fabrics you are sewing.
Oh, and while I'm at it I thought I'd share another tool I use.
Off to the right there. That is a magnetic seam allowance marker. This little guy sticks to my plate and helps me keep my seam allowance consistent and my top stitching straight. It's magical!
Action shot!
Hope this helps :)

Clara raised her arms to let her nightgown slide down them onto her small frail body. For eight days, not a single person had called her or stopped by to check on her.
The sun had set an hour earlier and tonight she needed to get to sleep early. Tomorrow she will walk the three blocks to the market and pick up a few groceries.
Clara crawled in-between the sheets and let sleep take her into it's gentle embrace while she dreamt of her husband and her children. She was happy in her dreams and free from her old and broken body.
The morning sun shimmered into her small apartment. She awoke craving her morning coffee and a meal of oatmeal and toast.
A sharp and intense pain hit Clara and she fell and hit her head on the porcelain tub, knocking her uncounscious.
Two days later, Clara drifted away into permanent sleep.
One week later, she was found.
I chose the subject to write about because recently, I have had two elderly members of my family, both living alone, have accidents after each suffered a stroke. One member passed away and the other member is in the hospital in Dallas, Texas. The family member that passed away laid on the floor alone for two days before anyone found him. The second family member laid on his floor for a full day before anyone found him.
I just wanted to say how important it is that we keep our eyes and ears out for the elderly, whether they are our neighbors or members of our own family. It made me realize just how often this very thing occurs.

text: If you don't watch TV, turn on a computer, or listen to the radio, you might be immune, but for the rest of us, the end of the year comes with tons of new car advertisements. This time of the year, to meet their quotas and pile in the 2013 models, every car manufacturer is trying to sell you a new vehicle. From zero percent interest, to cash back incentives, to celebrity spokepersons, after you see the adds, you might think you need one. Heck, even Suze Orman, personal finance guru and dealer of the "Suze smackdown" is hawking new Acuras this season. Before you start thinking this is such a good deal, remember these reasons to love your used car. You Owe Less on a Used Car- Even if it isn't paid off, you probably owe less on your current car than you would on a new one. We played musical cars for a while. Every three or four years, we traded in for a new model, insuring an ongoing car payment. The vehicles we have now have been paid off for a few years, and no amount of advertising or memory of new car scent makes me want another ...Read More »

While the Roxy Pro France debuted yesterday, WSL announced that it has renewed its partnership with Quiksilver and Roxy for three years, until 2021, which will remain including the title sponsors of the French CT events.
The 2018 edition is already the 17th year of collaboration between Quiksilver and WSL (previously named ASP) and the president of the world surfing body, Sophie Goldschmidt, was obviously delighted with this lasting partnership: "The Quiksilver and Roxy Pro France are a highlight of the season and one of the favorite stops for surfers and fans alike".
We are therefore guaranteed to have one CT stop on French soil for at least three more, good news for all of us surfers! While WSL seemed to want to change its schedule in 2019, it seems that things are slowing down and that the major projects will be for later.
In the meantime, let's already enjoy these Quiksilver and Roxy Pro France 2018. A lay day has been called today (Thursday) and the next call is set for Friday at 8:30 am!

TOKYO — THESE days you can hardly open a newspaper or turn on a television in Japan without encountering another story relating to former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's call, after visiting a nuclear waste facility in Finland, for ending Japan's reliance on nuclear power. Since Mr. Koizumi made his comments in September, Japanese newspapers have been filled with positive editorials about the possibility of a nonnuclear future.
I'm no fan of nuclear power myself, and yet I can't help feeling that there is something odd about this sudden surge of interest in denuclearization. Until his recent change of heart, Mr. Koizumi was a vocal advocate of nuclear power, much like his protégé, the current prime minister, Shinzo Abe, who engineered the Liberal Democratic Party's return to power last year on a pro-growth, pronuclear platform.
What explains this sudden shift in the winds?
The way I see it, the newfound prominence of antinuclear talk is actually a symptom of a deeper transformation whose contours are only now becoming visible: the slow emergence of a sense that Japan may have entered a post-growth era.
Until recently, many in Japan have been unable to shake the feeling that this country's "two lost decades" were a result of some accident, a bad dream from which they would soon awake, and that if only the government had taken bolder actions, the problems that had been plaguing Japan for so long — a strong yen, a shrinking population, high youth unemployment — could have been averted.
The notion that strong economic action had to be taken, however belatedly, was just gaining traction when the earthquake and tsunami hit in March 2011, setting off the unprecedented nuclear disaster at Fukushima. All of a sudden, Japan found itself faced with a choice: it could take up the goals of a newly strong movement to denuclearize, accepting the economic costs of having no more relatively cheap energy, or finally implement the pro-growth policies that should, perhaps, have been given a chance decades ago. We could do one or the other, but not both.
This was the issue at stake in the December 2012 election.
When Mr. Abe pledged to focus on growth powered by nuclear energy, he held out a vision of an alternative to the harsh reality of two decades of economic stagnation. This dream persuaded people to vote for his party, even though more than half the population favored denuclearization.
But now that "Abenomics" — expanding the money supply to spur inflation and push interest rates below zero; pushing the yen down, to revive the country's once mighty export sector; and increasing the government's already huge public debt to pay for new investments in infrastructure and research — is no longer just a proposal, but actual policy, the mood has changed. People all around the country — including Mr. Koizumi, I suspect — are becoming anxious about the future of Abenomics. They are coming to realize that the dream of returning Japan to the era of rapid export-led growth between the end of World War II and the late 1980s might not be realistic.
It's true that some indicators are looking up: Exports have risen, as has consumer confidence, and the economy is growing at nearly 2 percent a year. Large companies like Toyota and Nissan are hiring. Salaries are rising. The selection of Tokyo as the site of the 2020 Summer Olympics has energized the population. But rising oil and gas prices brought unprecedented trade deficits in the first half of 2013. Construction for the Olympics will divert workers from critical projects in the areas affected by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. A plan to build a new superfast maglev train between Tokyo and Nagoya — another symbol of the new focus on growth — is meeting with a lukewarm reaction from those who will live near the tracks and from those concerned about the huge amounts of power it will consume.
Whether Abenomics can ever live up to the sky-high expectations of Japanese voters remains to be seen. If the reality of Abenomics turns out not to live up to its promise, why not give the other side a chance? Why not try to break free, once and for all, of our dependence on nuclear energy?
This transformation in the relationship between reality and the alternative, I think, explains Mr. Koizumi's sudden change of heart. As a senior politician, he has his eye on the future of the L.D.P.: He is marking a new course for a younger generation of politicians so that they can remain in power in case Abenomics does fail. This is also the reason behind the media's new willingness to discuss denuclearization.
In other words, people in Japan are beginning to wonder whether those "two lost decades" really were "lost" after all. Perhaps those years were simply the prelude to a new post-growth era. And maybe in this new age the end of economic growth is less scary than the dependence on nuclear power.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit.
Spiritual discernment is the ability to know what the Holy Spirit is communicating to you. It is the attentiveness you give to God's loving invitation to come close to Him and receive his help in life. This is discernment of His presence, power and peace. Out of this awareness you discover God's divine intention for you in following His will in your life. This discernment of His purpose and priorities for you becomes a shared expression of His love for the world around you.
Where your heart is, there you will find your discernment. If you are like me, your heart needs daily re-alignment with the Holy Spirit. No one is exempt from this. The condition of our hearts directly impacts the process of discerning God's will for our day. Take a few moments today to think about all which God has made possible in and through your life. Then live this day with thanksgiving, sharing your life with others.

A few weeks ago, I wasgoed talking with a friend who is ter the process of tweaking hier online dating profile. She wasgoed wondering what elements of hier profile might turn potential dates on or off, and she asked mij to peruse it, to get a set of fresh eyes on it. Amy loves hier work, and I loved how she wrote about ter hier profile: Not braggy, not self-promotional, but enthusiastic. That got mij wondering: What do the experts have to say about how women should framework their careers ter writing thesis tricky little life summaries? If your career is deeply significant to you, do you say that, or is it – spil much spil I hate to think this – a potential turn-off?
So I posted a query online, asking for dating experts to weigh te on how, and how much, women should describe their careers when crafting their online profiles. The results shocked mij: Many experts who got ter touch agreed that women should downplay their ambition and professional accomplishments te their profiles.
"There is no benefit for a woman ter emphasizing hier career ter hier online profile," dating coach Jonathan Green wrote to mij. "Whether a woman is enormously successful or not will not affect how 99% of guys feel about hier. For boys, attraction does not come from watching a woman succeed."
Christan Marashio, who leads seminars on dating profiles and writes the blog And That's Why You're Single under the name Moxie, told mij that women should make "little to no mention" of their careers te their profiles. "Women need to understand that the criteria they apply to what makes a man a "good match" such spil education, ambition, and financial security are not on a man's list of voorwaarde haves," she explained. "Men care very little about those things."
Experts suggest another reason to downplay career te your profile: It implies you have very little time for relationships. "I advise women who read ads where the man explicitly states how busy their job is to understand the underlying message: My availability is limited," Marashio said. "I would give the same advice to boys."
Green echoed this. "If a woman writes all about being a high powered attorney or successful executive," he explained, "all boys will read is that she doesn't have time for him."
If you vereiste go on about your professional accomplishments, at least be savvy enough to not make yourself seem too, well, accomplished. "Your profile can include the industry you work te but should avoid using terms like 'executive' or 'I run/oversee/manage," dating columnist Damona Resnick Hoffman wrote to mij. "They make you seem unapproachable."
A woman's "profile should reflect how she feels, hier emotional texture, hier juiciness, hier heart, not what she does or hier goals," relationship coach Roy Biancalana explained. "If hier profile is packed with hier career stuff, hier accomplishments, hier mission te life, hier wishes spil to what she wants to achieve professionally, while that's beautiful and wonderful, it won't be attractive to a man with masculine energy."
Good to know. And, hey, career-minded ladies with beau's or husbands, you might want to bedachtzaam them about their deficiency te "masculine energy."
So much of this dating advice seems geared to getting you to attract all the studs te the world, including the jacks and wusses who will be intimidated by your career goals. But isn't the idea to find a handful of good guys, and eventually just one fine boy who understands and embraces you for who you are? And also, isn't this 2012, and there are slew of dudes who are totally into that? Hello?
There are, I wasgoed eased to find, several experts who said career-focused women should present their work spil part of themselves online. "It's significant for women to embrace who they are, and not edit their true desires, including professional desires, te hopes of being considered a good date," said Trish McDermott, who spent a decade spil Match.com's "VP of Romance." "The right man will totally get that you 'Love, Love, Love' your job – maybe because he feels the same way about his career – and he'll love you for it."
The spokesperson for the popular sites JDate and ChristianMingle, Arielle Schechtman, wisely advised "honesty, openness and clear communication" te your profile, even if you're a workaholic. "Stay away from telling things like, 'I eat, breath and live work!' or, 'I spend every waking ogenblik te the office,'" she said. "Instead, say what it is about your job that you truly love. Or write about what gets you out of leger ter the morning. Thesis are the things that make you unique and give your potential date a better look at your true personality."
Kate Houston, founder of the profile-writing service trysweettalk, agreed. "A basic marketing principle is 'make the offerande clear so that you attract the right customer, and weed out the wrong ones,'" she explained. "If work is significant to you, then be open. Ter fact, count it among your interests and say what you like about it. Te addition to sounding like someone who has happiness and a positive outlook on a daily poot, it also makes clear that you're employed. Ter this economy, that's significant."
But Jane Coloccia Teixeira, the author of "Confessions of an Online Dating Junkie," summed it up best, brief and sweet. "Your job should be talked about like your other interests," she advised. "We're not living back te the '50s and '60s!"
Depending on who you talk to, you'd never know it.

Blue lobsters, shoplifting and lego, it's #FridayFunFacts
DID YOU KNOW that it's impossible to lick your own elbow? Of course you did, because only the smartest people read FridayFunFacts, and you're definitely not trying to lick your own elbow right now….moving on:
The Finnish word for "pedant" (think pedantic) can be directly translated as "comma fucker". That'll make you think twice about using an oxford comma next time.
Although they're very rare, blue lobster do exist!
Of all the sweets and all the coffee and all the cured hams just hanging by the door, good old Parmesan cheese is the most shoplifted item in Italy.

All over the world, there are two main ways (with just a few minor exceptions) to say Tea. One is all the varieties of "Te", like "tea" in english and "tee" in Afrikaans, and these versions can be found in all the places that tea leaves traveled to by ship when the Dutch East India company rules the seas. The other type of name is all the variations of "cha", like "chai" in Hindi and "chay" in Persian. Tea reached the places with these names via the Silk Road. Why is this cool? Because long before anybody used the word "globalisation" we can see how globalisation happened, just by the way people take their te/cha.

We had the craziest thunderstorm I have ever seen at about 11 last night, there were lightening flashes a few times a second, I almost thought it was a power line arcing or something for about 10 minutes thunder all around. I have never seen anything like that. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a thousand strikes.
The weatherman is saying that Sunday's temps are going to be in the 50's, then drop to the teens during the night with wind chills at -15 Monday.
Looks like Winter is finally getting to the East Coast....

Well, the final tally for last weekend's storm in St. Louis was 11.5" and it didn't make the Top 5.
The worst one day storm in St. Louis was 1/5/1912, over 100 years ago with 15.1". That winter also took the record for most in the season, Nov. 1911-April 1912 with just over 67" !! The #3 - #5 most one day totals were all prior to 1920 but the #2 was 1/31-2/1/1982.
I had a 4' drift in my driveway that winter.
Last fall, one of the major TV meteorologists in St. Louis was retiring and made his final 90 day prediction. Dave Murray (used to be on GMA) expected this winter to be a "near normal" to "above normal" snowfall. The average is 17.7" and the last two winters totals were ~3.5" and ~6.5", far less than "normal". This year, we are already at 18.3" with more snow (and ice) forecast for this weekend. The low Saturday night is forecast to be ~9 degrees.
I love my wood-burning fireplace !!

Looks like St. Louis is going to get buried again as you will get it before we get it. Predictions for Indy this weekend is 5-8 inches, then temps dropping to single digits on both sides of zero (high and low).

Then the winds turned from the north howling down lake Michigan
Having an east west driveway all my previous work was pretty much undone
Just got it cleared again
Managed to keep a path to the mancave though
For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe
My area saw a layer of ice followed by maybe 2 inches of snow. And like the 8 inches of snow predicted for my area, we got the same high winds, as in zero. Wanna build a wall Mr. President? Defund the National Weather Service. All TV and radio stations now have many meteorologists. Neither they nor the NWS can predict the weather to any reasonableness, and when they do get it right, well a broken clock is correct twice a day, right?
St. Louis got lucky this weekend. The snow that had been forecast for Sat. night/Sun. morning held off until Sun. afternoon and was only about 0.5" (officially).

Unfortunately our state and utilities are on board with this stuff
Whether by regulations or a younger generation who actually believe it
We've been fighting wind farms in our county for the last several months
Trying to at least get adaquate setbacks since they are super turbines used so far only in the ocean
Causing quite a riff in the community which is typical
To add to it NIPSCO is shutting their coal plant down in a couple of years
Our property tax is due to increase by 20 to 30 percent
Wind farms get tax abatements
Trying to bring in new bussines to replace it only adds to the problem
Any substantial employer wants green energy before they'll consider setting up shop
Having gotten involved I've been getting an education
Here's a brief discription of some of what's going on like it or not:
Renewable energy 'champion' South Australia blew up its last coal-fired power plant last year and now suffers the world's highest power prices, mass load shedding and blackouts.In a case of déjà vu all over again, the Hoosier state, Indiana wants to follow SA's idiotic example.Those behind it have no hesitation in turning night into day, with claims that an immediate 12% hike in retail power prices actually represents a 'saving' to power consumers. Go figure.
Just like the lunatics in South Australia, the plan involves destroying reliable conventional generators and claiming that baseload power can be delivered, instead, by way of a total reliance on sunshine and breezes. And comes with the even more ridiculous claim that power prices will (eventually) fall.
Indiana ranks seventh in the nation in coal production and generates 68 percent of its power from coal. Together, affordable coal and natural gas generate 95 percent of Indiana's electricity. As a result, Indiana electricity prices are substantially lower than the national average. National electricity prices are 10 percent higher than in Indiana.Unfortunately, NIPSCO wants to put an end to these low prices. It is proposing to shut down two perfectly functioning coal power plants that provide much of NIPSCO's low-cost electricity. In their place, NIPSCO wants to build expensive wind and solar power equipment and battery storage for when the wind isn't blowing or the Sun isn't shining.
NIPSCO is a government-protected monopoly utility, with Indiana state government guaranteeing NIPSCO a profit of approximately 10 percent for every dollar it spends. Accordingly, NIPSCO has a financial self-interest to engage in costly business practices.
Then there's George Sorros buying our coal and selling it overseas
I better stop now I'm getting upset
Sorry I didn't set it up as a segue
For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe

You may have noticed the face of my company has changed. Over the years, one of the main questions I am asked is, "What do you specialize in?" I have been blessed with a wide range of experiences in the field of counseling. I have worked with, adults, adolescents, kids, couples, elderly, and disabled populations. I have also worked in hospital, agency, addictions and in private practice settings taking on just about any problem that comes my way.
I have loved the challenge of working with diversity and with a wide range of people. It definitely keeps my work interesting. I have often considered specializing in women's issues, but haven't taken the initiative, until now.
I am thrilled to specialize in women's issues. I have always had a special place in my heart for women. Women are particularly resilient and have a wonderful balance between nurturing and toughness. Women manage multiple aspects of life with grace and style, rising above many challenges and somehow they still manage to think of others' needs.
I have my husband to thank for my new website http://www.southeastwomenscounseling.com and the effort put in to move my domain to a new location. I am blessed to have the computer support right at home! (If you ever want to hire him to contract for a website he is available.)
I continue to look forward to writing about topics that are helpful to you. If you are a man that follows my blog please feel free to stay. I plan to write about things that apply to both men and women. Possibly this blog will help you with understanding some of the complexities of the women in your life. I look forward to writing about relevant topics that I hope you find helpful.
I am happy about my new endeavor and look forward to serving my new niche; the beautiful and compelling women in this world.
Blessings to you!

SHEILA GANZ, Director / Producer / Editor. Making PIECE OF MIND comes out of Sheila Ganz's personal experience. Her sister lives with schizophrenia. The agonizing powerlessness Sheila felt over her sister's need for treatment drove her to support groups at National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) San Francisco, where she heard many different stories of family members with loved ones living with serious mental illness. "This issue was staring me in the face. I knew I had to make the film."
Ganz's credits include the documentary On Life's Terms: Mothers in Recovery The film was nominated for a regional Emmy® 2016. The film launched on public television via National Educational Telecommunications Association in August 2015, screened at film festivals and conferences and is currently in distribution to addiction / treatment / recovery programs, colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. Ganz is a recipient ofthe City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors Certificate of Honor, and California State Legislature Assembly District 27 Certificate of Recognition for "Outstanding contribution for raising awareness about rehabilitation efforts for women battling substance abuse." Ganz created a 22-page study guide to accompany the film,
Ganz's first documentary, Unlocking the Heart of Adoption, explores the lifelong process of adoption for adoptees, birthparents and adoptive parents in same race and transracial adoptions with illuminating historical background. The film aired on public television from 2003-2006 and on The Documentary Channel from 2012-2014. It is in distribution to adoption agencies and educational institutions worldwide. Ganz wrote a discussion guide and three-hour curriculum on the issues of loss and identity for the film. She received the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute's Angels in Adoption Award, 2006.
Ganz came to make this film out of her experience as a birthmother in 1969 after becoming pregnant as the result of rape. In an attempt to move to another state, she totaled her car and fractured her pelvis at five months pregnant. After recuperating in a hospital, she went into a home for unwed mothers. She unwillingly relinquished her baby for adoption. She later found her daughter. Ganz is an activist for adoption reform and testified before the California State Judiciary Committees for adult adoptee civil rights and birthmother rights. While her first film is about adoption, Ganz wanted her next film to be about family preservation.
Ganz was an instructor at Film Arts Foundation and guest-lectured on filmmaking at City College of San Francisco and Academy of Art University from 2005-2007. She wrote two full-length stage plays, PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, about her experience as a birthmother, and LEAVING JOE, about domestic violence. Both plays had staged readings in San Francisco.

finger farts
Posted: November 9, 2011 at 9:56 am
the problem with writing a post that folks like (like the freaking coffee cup fiasco) is it raises the bar on what i should/could write and suddenly writing becomes a a planned and well thought out chore working towards art instead of a spontaneous (but true) fart in the dark.
and since i happen to actually like writing for various reasons..(but mostly because it isn't any actual work unless one wishes to become a "writer")..then it becomes unpredictable..some days the story is good…some days the storyline is boring and sucks…kind of like real life does.
i never sit down at this computer and try to think about what to write..how to write it…or if readers will actually like what i write, i just write it.
sometimes when i am done…i actually really like it (like the peaceable kingdom post) but no one else probably does…or you guys like it (like the coffee cup post) which to me was really just a few days of wasted frustration of me being ineffectual in performing the simplest of tasks.
there are a thousand different reasons why a thousand different people write blogs…some use it as an art medium to create something beautiful and meaningful that lasts. some use it as a useful tool to practice their writing skills on the rocky road to writerhood….some want to change the world..some want to impress the world and some write to share their view of the world.
i like to write cuz it gives me some way to chronicle my days and help me to remember shit…(the search button is pretty damn handy to find something that i have forgotten!) and i like to write cuz it gives me something to do when i sit down in my computer chair with my two typing fingers free….(i am just so not into computer games like solitaire.)
but it is a crap shoot on what comes out…something funny, or sad, or moving or thought provoking…or….. utterly worthlessly stupid and boring.
actually reading what i write is a risk..and not even i know what is going to be farting out of these two typing fingers..it is like they have a mind of their own….and somedays they just have a lot of gas!

Dog Gone Funny Contest
Does your dog make you smile? Is he/she a goof ball? Do you pamper him/her?
You can now enter a contest to win $5000 by posting a photo of your goofaloof to Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #doggonecontest.
For more information and the official rules please go to http://doggonecontest.com/.
Periodontal Disease
Did you know that the most common disease in dogs and cats is periodontal disease? By 3 years of age, most dogs and cats have periodontal disease. Did also you know that this is almost completely preventable?
Periodontal disease is caused by plaque and tartar under the gumline. Plaque is a biofilm composed of salivary proteins and bacteria. The plaque forms on the surface of the tooth and then becomes mineralized to form tartar (calculus) that is firmly adhered to the surface of the tooth. When the plaque and tartar spread below the gumline the soft tissues and bone become infected.
Yes. Periodontal disease is infection. And yes. This infection is painful.
The goals are to prevent this infection, prevent this pain and preserve the teeth.
So how do we accomplish this? The mainstays of prevention of periodontal disease in animals are the same as for people. Brushing teeth daily and routine professional dental care starting at a young age.
At Home Dental Care
There is no doubt that the single most effective preventive step taken to prevent periodontal disease at home is frequent brushing (ideally daily). With patience and encouragement, most dogs can be trained to allow brushing. Toothpastes made for dogs and cats are best. These are enzyme based and flavored with things like chicken, beef, malt and seafood.
Most toothbrushes will work. There are some made for dogs and cat that are angled so the handle is away from the mouth. This makes it easier to handle the toothbrush. Even electric toothbrushes will work extremely well for pets. This way the brush is not banging back and forth in the mouth and against the teeth.
It is only necessary to brush the outside of the teeth making sure to brush the teeth way in the back. With a spin brush you can start in back and slowly bring the brush forward.
The brushing will clean both above and below the gumline. It is very important to remove the placque below the gumline to prevent infection.
Brushing will go best if you start very slowly and make the event pleasurable for your pet. Give some good attention, a special treat, or even a regular meal immediately after the brushing.
While brushing is the best home care treatment, other products are also available. There are many dental chews, water additives, foods and other products on the market that will help. Look for the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) seal of approval.
A video on brushing teeth can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsNlLLSBWLU
Dog Trivia
Domesticated for more than 10,000 years, the dog was one of the first animals domesticated by humans.
The sled dogs running in Alaska 's annual Iditarod race on average burn 10,000 Calories per day.
The Canary Islands were named after a breed of large dogs. The Latin name was Canariae insulae - "Island of Dogs ."
The expression "three dog night" originated with the Eskimos and means a very cold night - so cold that you have to bed down with three dogs to keep warm.
The first dogs to hunt in packs and the first small companion breeds were probably bred in ancient China. Written records more than 4,000 years old from China show that dog trainers were held in high esteem and that kennel masters raised and looked after large numbers of dogs.
The term "dog days" has nothing to do with dogs. It dates back to Roman times, when it was believed that Sirius, the Dog Star, added its heat to that of the sun from July3 to August 11, creating exceptionally high temperatures. The Romans called the period dies caniculares, or "days of the dog."
Dogs have about 100 different facial expressions, most of them made with the ears.
Using their swiveling ears like radar dishes, experiments have shown that dogs can locate the source of a sound in 6/100ths of a second.

About Ruth Axtell
I discovered I enjoyed writing when my seventh-grade English teacher assigned our class to finish a story that began with one sentence, a "once upon a time" premise. My version ended up being a romance, and what amazed me most was when someone turned to me after my story was read aloud and told me how much she liked it.
I then went on to write a spy thriller—complete with my own illustrations—and knew I wanted to be a writer.
There were many detours along the way as I pursued more realistic goals. I studied comparative literature at Smith College, where I received a Bachelor's degree; I spent my junior year in Paris; taught English and lived as an au pair in the Canary Islands; and worked in international development in Miami, Florida. It was there I met my future husband, a Dutchman from Suriname, who took me to the Netherlands to live for six years.
In Holland I began my life as a stay-at-home mom. For the first time in my life I was able to seriously pursue my dream of writing full-length historicals. During my six years there, I completed three manuscripts. The second one gained recognition when it was a finalist in the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Contest in 1994.
We moved back to the U.S., to the down east coast of Maine to a small village where I had spent childhood summers.
Maine has been a place of discovery—from discerning the varying faces of the sea and likening them to the color of my current hero or heroine's eyes, to observing the changing seasons and the wonders of a flower or leaf or icicle, to simply learning how to say, "yes, Lord," when I hear His still, small voice.

Solar Power Systems Are the Easy Way to Save Money!
Are you aware what the photovoltaic system is all about? You must have heard of solar power and its particular uses. This system works with the aid of sunlight. There are several solar panels present in the system. These cells convert the light from the sun to electrical power. This system comprises different components.
These parts are solar cells plus some connections which are electrical and mechanical. Aside from this, it also has certain mountings plus some systems with the aid of which it regulates as well as adjusts the electric output. The photovoltaic system could be a big help in your house. If you are fed up of your huge amount of electric expenses then this is the foremost method to eliminate it.
The name photovoltaic system has come from the term photon. This word really means light as well as volt. With the help of this energy the electrons move. It can be installed in your house. It is usually built on the top where it has the chance of getting maximum amount of sunlight. Do you know that solar energy is among the cleanest as well as the best available sources of energy?
There are numerous ways to generate energy and electricity but many of the other systems create lots of pollution. However solar power isn't responsible in creating any kind of toxins.
This is why the government is pushing more and more people to convert their own system to solar energy systems. Aside from this, the price of electricity also becomes very reasonable.
The photovoltaic system was discovered long back however it has come to use only in the recent times. The good thing about solar power is that it's a renewable source of energy. The solar power won't ever come to end. There are numerous businesses which use the solar panel systems as an extra energy source so that they'll generate more electricity.
The photovoltaic panels using solar power have a problem. It becomes difficult to use the solar power in the evening. It is because at that point there's no sun so it can't extract the energy to make electricity. But there is a way out. You should store certain amount of solar energy in the morning which may be used after dark.
Other than this, you may also use batteries for producing electricity at night. But the batteries are quite expensive and they don't have a great life span. The photovoltaic system converts light into electricity with the aid of certain special materials, such as silicon.
Ever wondered how to construct photovoltaic panels and spend less? build photovoltaic panel can tell you how it operates.

Crown Princess Mary received a convertible diamond tiara as a wedding present from her parents-in-law in 2004, but many royal watchers were disappointed with the size and presence of the piece. Mary's already made some changes to the piece, adding a set of removable pearls. If you could make additional changes, how would you redesign the sparkler?

I didn't realize that is place you work at.
that is understandable. some people just don't understand these animals are not dogs or don't know when to quit. of course, if some dogs are being bothered, they could get nippy or bite.Totem actually attacked someone last winter. It was the girl's fault for not leaving him alone after he started giving her warning signs. He ripped her a new one
what did the girl that got bit have to say afterwards? did she try to sue?

Knocked Off My Pedastal (again...)/
I had a good run of it. I refer to my earlier blog entry about starting off the New Year with a perfect record: perfect eating habits, perfect personal grooming, perfect exercise habits... I made a good show.
Of course, that's all in the crapper now. I made it until day 10, when I decided I'd rather eat Chinese out with Blair versus workout and it's been a downhill slide from there. I didn't exercise Friday or Saturday AND pretty much ate whatever came in my path during those two days. As we speak, I am preparing to head next door to our neighbors for their post holiday party of coffee and desserts. Rick is a semi-gourmet chef and does amazing things with chocolate. Yippee!
I have some mental block that once I slide off the perfection scale, I have no desire to get back on until the next January 2nd rolls around. Oh, I'll still exercise and semi-watch what I eat. But I did SO GREAT during the first 10 days. Being perfect in exercise and diet spilled over into all areas of my life and I was perfect about everything. Clothes in the dryer? No procrastination from perfect woman! Let's get those undies folded and put away... work to be done? Let's tackle it head-on and not tell ourself we'll feel more like working on it in the the morning. And so on...
But now... sigh. I'm going to wear large pants to the party so I have room to stuff myself with cake and the only concession I'll make to eating so late at night is that I'll request decaf coffee.
Here's hoping your New Years resolutions are still a go. Don't let me bring you down... ;)

Have you ever heard of the phrase "style above all" lol, when I was in college (Berkeley) something interesting happened to me, here is the story:
As expected, in college you have all the academic and social pressures. Most students try to fit in and others don't care if they do. For me, It was about learning as much as possible, networking and getting out of there. When it came to fashion, the majority of the students wore casual and leisure clothing, me on the other hand, took a different approach. Since I've always been influenced by the classic and elegance style of men's fashion, I always wore a suit because this was how I felt comfortable and how I believe a gentleman should dress.
One summer, there was a class excursion to the Poconos in New Jersey. The dress code was casual since we were going to be outdoors and my classmates dared me to wear a suit. I decided to be bold and wore a suit even though I knew it was going to be a challenging experience. My classmates made fun and in all honesty, I was uncomfortable because of the heat, humidity and the lack of practicality.
That bold experience taught me an important lesson, that sometimes we need to stand out in order to be in. After the ordeal, my classmates and professors thought I was a bit crazy but more importantly respected me as a fashion leader and risk taker. From that incident, some classmates that had fashion startups wanted me to be part of their team, the fashion club ask me to participate in their endeavors and professors connected me with fashion industry leaders to see how we could collaborate.
All in all, we need to take chances in life, make bold decisions and move forward. That's why I decided to collaborate with LISTERINE with their #BringOutTheBold campaign. This campaign is about individuals who take or make bold decisions and ultimately gain a meaningful benefit. Last week I took a trip to Listerine's lab in New Jersey to learn more about the health, care and benefits of using their products.
These products are great because:
- Kills the germs in your mouth
- Cleans between your teeth
- Prevents gingivitis
- Restores the enamel
- Builds stronger teeth
Overall these products are amazing for your and your family. I recommend using them because LISTERINE is the only mouth rinse backed by over 100 years of research/testing. I personally use the LISTERINE Total Care because it pretty much helps with everything and leaves me fresh to take on the world.
Life is about taking some chances and in the process discovering new things and getting rewarded. Don't be afraid to #BringOutTheBold.

It's a beautiful day in Hollywood for the upcoming Mister Rogers movie.
The first look at the film "You Are My Friend," which stars Tom Hanks as the beloved, sweater-clad children's TV personality Fred Rogers, is here.
The first photo from the film helmed by "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" director Marielle Heller shows a smiling Hanks wearing a signature Mister Rogers cardigan with khakis and blue sneakers.
Filming for the project kicked off in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in mid-September.
Fans of the long-running series "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" will, of course, remember the minister's iconic wardrobe, which he paid special attention to.
He reportedly wore more casual shoes and donned sweaters every episode to be more approachable to his young audience and pay tribute to his mother, who spent her life knitting.
"You Are My Friend," which Heller has insisted is "not a biopic," takes inspiration from a 1998 Esquire profile of Rogers titled "Can You Say … Hero?" written by journalist Tom Junod. Junod is played by "The Americans" star Matthew Rhys in the film.
The two apparently forged a close friendship over the course of multiple interviews for the piece. The film will explore "how [the reporter's] whole world changes when coming in contact with Fred Rogers."
"It's a story for our times, a story about kindness and family connection and trying to tap into our better self. God knows we need that right now!" Heller told Entertainment Weekly. "In the research for the movie, the writers found that more people than they could possibly count credited Mr. Rogers with changing their lives … [It's about] one man who's in a critical point in his life — becoming a new father, having issues with his own father — and meeting Mr. Rogers to write a piece about him, thinking it's going to be a bit of a puff piece, but it ends up changing his entire life."
She went on to add that Hanks "understands the essence" of Rogers and the two have had extensive conversations about his take on the icon.
"The response to that casting has been overwhelmingly positive," she added. "Even though he doesn't look exactly like [him], essence wise, he's in the same vein."
This year marked the 50th anniversary of the show's debut on PBS, which coincided with the release of the critically acclaimed documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" about his life and legacy.
"You Are My Friend" is set to hit theaters Oct. 18, 2019.

Minneapolis, MN—December 13, 2017—Robins Kaplan LLP® is pleased to announce that Tara Sutton, chair of the firm's Mass Tort Group and a member of its Executive Board, has been named a Law360 MVP for Product Liability. This is the second time that Law360 has honored her with this award.
Law360's MVP award recognizes attorneys who have distinguished themselves from their peers in litigation, deals, and other complex matters. Sutton is one of only six attorneys recognized for Product Liability, and one of only 157 attorneys recognized nationally across 32 practice areas.
Throughout her career, Sutton has repeatedly achieved victories that create a path to recovery for hundreds—in some instances, thousands—injured by drugs and medical devices. In the firm's history-making win against Big Tobacco nearly 20 years ago, Sutton served as trial counsel in the first state tobacco lawsuit to go to trial; the landmark case settled for $6.6 billion.
Most recently, Sutton served on the executive committee and plaintiffs' negotiating committee of a 2,000-plaintiff multi-district litigation over the blood pressure medication Benicar, which was resolved for a proposed $300 million. Sutton also acted as plaintiffs' settlement counsel in multi-district litigation over antipsychotic drug Abilify.
Sutton has served as lead trial counsel in several other matters, including: the first bellwether trial over smoking cessation drug Chantix, which settled three days before jury selection and led to the nearly $300 million settlement of virtually all pending cases; the massive Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII modular hip litigation, in which she spearheaded the development of a $1.4 billion global settlement program; and the first bellwether trial over the Parkinson's disease drug Mirapex, which resulted in a $8.2 million jury verdict ($7.8 million in punitive damages), and nearly 300 Mirapex cases that she subsequently settled.
In July 2017, she was elected president of Public Justice, a non-profit public interest law firm that protects consumer rights through precedent-setting and socially significant litigation.
Law360 published a profile of Sutton, describing many of her biggest achievements of the previous year. The profile can be viewed here.

Quality of Character
Merida is a true standout among the princess ranks, largely thanks to Pixar injecting their trademark wit. She scores the highest in this category of any DH except those ranked higher overall. Merida is funny, spunky, spirited, and driven. She's also a bada** archer. The score isn't perfect, because she starts out the film making some pretty selfish/rash decisions involving a shoddy witch making a spell to change her fate. It's motivated, not saying it isn't, but to go to some self-admitted customer-displeasing witch and asking for a spell so vague as to "change my fate," which then involves YOUR MOTHER being the one to take the magic potion? Not so good, Mer. She makes up for it in the end, but that ends up docking her a few points.
Overall Film Quality
Pixar's Finding Nemo is one of the most poignant portrayals of the Father-son dynamic to ever grace the screen. Brave is Pixar's attempt to achieve the same with the Mother-Daughter dynamic. It's largely successful. The message at the core of this film is the importance of mothers and daughters both listening to one another (Freaky Friday, anyone?). It's one of the few films in this countdown that's sure to spark a meaningful dialogue between you and your daughter. With all that said, Brave is so far on the serious side that it ends up losing a bit of the Fun that Pixar has when working at peak levels. It's a very good film, but it feels a little long and less upbeat than the 4 films on this countdown that managed to pull higher scores in this category.
Love Interest
I was a little stumped on what to do here. Technically, Merida has a number of "suitors" who are pursuing her hand, but none of them are actually interested in her, none of them succeed, and there's no "love" between any of them and Merida. So I called this a "no love interest" category and awarded Merida the default score.
Supporting Characters
Not a very high score for Merida, there's not much to the rest of the cast. The mother is important, but she spends most of the movie as a bear who can't talk. The father is strange but fun. The triplet little brothers with the truly bizarre hair are fun, but they don't talk either. Then the "villain" is this giant bear... who's not really a villain since he isn't actively trying to keep Merida from her goals or anything, he's just a big angry bear. See? Not much to go by in this category.
None. Neutral score awarded.
Another double dip for Merida! You better believe Disney is taking advantage of it by selling both, too! Merida's "adventure" dress is a richer green with gorgeous celtic looking embroidery all over it. Then the teal dress, though restrictive, is no less pretty. The only thing to dock the ensemble for is the fact that it is NOT warm weather friendly for little princesses trekking around the theme parks. In fact it's the dress I see the least on girls at the parks. Other than that, both dresses are pretty darn neato.
**DISCLAIMER** I do not own any of the likenesses of these heroines. All characters/likenesses are the property of Disney, and are not being used here for financial gain ****

About The Place
Oman, a nation on the Arabian Peninsula, has terrain encompassing desert, riverbed oases and long coastlines on the Persian (Arabian) Gulf, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman. Wahiba Sands is a region of dunes inhabited by Bedouins. The port capital, Muscat, is home to the massive, contemporary Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, and the old waterfront Muttrah quarter, with a labyrinthine souk and busy fish market.
As a thoroughly forward-looking nation firmly anchored in the rich traditions of its past, it's not surprising that Oman has proudly retained its traditional marketplaces whilst also embracing contemporary shopping spaces with gusto.
In towns like Mutrah, Nizwa, Rustaq and Salalah, trading is a way of life. The objective is not just to buy and sell, but also to pour coffee, share it with friends and catch up on the news of the day.
Muscat's famed Mutrah souq is the best-stocked souk in the Arabian Peninsula. Here, in its maze of alleyways, it is possible to find traditional clothes, jewellery, spices, antiques, hand-woven Bedouin carpets Muscat and craft workshops. Look for the craftsmen making traditional sculpted silver and ivory daggers known as khanjars.
Muscat's souqs are utterly charming and the source of some of the finest shopping experiences anywhere, but they're not the only option in town. Modern shopping complexes have sprung up in the city in recent times, mostly situated in Qurum and in the Al Khuwair area facing the Government ministries.
All Muscat shopping malls are fully air-conditioned, have their own mix of local and international shops, boutiques, supermarkets, car parks, cafes, food courts and play areas for children.
Here are some of the city's best known malls:
Muscat City Centre
Muscat Grand Mall
Qurum City Centre
Al Araimi
Capital Store
Sabco Centre
Lulu Hypermarkets
Markaz Al Bahja
