Kim Kardashian Hourglass Body On The Red Carpet

In Beautiful, Kim Kardashian on 4 Jan 2012 by Bog
Kim Kardashian Hourglass Sexy Body

Kim Kardashian Hourglass Body

Kim Kardashian’s still doing what she knows best. Show up. Yea, Kim’s showing up everywhere – restaurants, bars, nightclubs, my wet dreams, on TV, movies, music videos, porn sites, magazines, and basically the internet is intoxicated with her. Not that this is a bad thing – at least as long as you don’t really give a shh what she’s really about, and just enjoy her voluptuous body and her amazing, one of a kind lady curves.

I won’t brag about her (too predictable) early divorce or gossip around on her or her lifestyle. One thing’s for sure, she’s beautiful and her body is the only thing I know that can replace Viagra.

Sexiest strippers on your desktop!

With every like we get, a hot babe drops her bra!

Slew-rate limited devices like the MAX487 have their edge rate decreased
to approx. 1us (5V/us).  This means that the highest radiated frequencies
are on the order of 1MHz instead of 40MHz, which greatly reduces EMI.
Additionally, the maximum unterminated cable length is approx
  L_max = 9 * t_r
due to reflections where t_r is the rise time in ns, and L_max is the
length in cm (90m for 1us).  This means that you can have long stubs on
your network -- and that makes it a lot easier to route cable.

Dressed in bright yellow T-shirts, supporters of Mounted Eagles, a therapeutic horsemanship program, took to the Paul Bunyan Trail from Pequot Lakes to Nisswa on a hot, humid Saturday, Sept. 7, to raise money for the organization.

The annual Mounted Eagles Walk-N-Roll featured walkers and bikers who traveled the six miles from the Pequot Lakes chamber building to the Nisswa Community Center, where they had an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner, listened to music and bid on items at a silent auction. Grand marshals were Rocky Hart and Isaac and Isaiah Stange.

Mounted Eagles is a PATH-accredited therapeutic horsemanship program and has been providing services to adults and children with disabilities since 1992. The program is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving individuals who live in Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, Mille Lacs, Morrison and Todd counties.

Council receives update on abatement bond projects

The Nisswa City Council on Wednesday, Sept. 18, received updates on projects funded with $610,000 in General Obligation Abatement Bonds that were issued earlier this year.

• $343,584 is funding a new public restrooms/chamber building where the former building stood on the Paul Bunyan Trail. The building should be ready for occupancy by the end of October or early November.

• $119,857 is funding improvements to Nisswa Park, which are about half complete. Improvements include: repair backstop fencing on both fields, replace counters in restrooms with new faucets that are the metering style, re-work dugouts on a field with blocks to be donated, new cement pad for shed, storage bunker for infield material, replace overhead door on small garage, replace hockey rink lights with energy efficient lighting, upgrade electric motor and switches for the cooling equipment, install power to both scoreboards, new hose and nozzle for rink flooding, pleasure skating rink east of the hockey rink, sprinkler system throughout the park, white pines and a new garage.

• $110,183 is funding improvements to the Nisswa Community Center, which are about half complete. Improvements include: furniture and fixtures, replace kitchen flooring, replace carpeting, fix hump in floor between the two additions, refurbish exterior doors (weather stripping), new urinal flush valves, replace roofing with metal, sprinkler system on lawn, replace existing light fixtures with energy efficient fixtures, metal roll up covering and storage room.

Also, the Highway 371 project is scheduled to be complete by early November.

Discussions are ongoing regarding the Clark Lake Road/Highway 371 intersection. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) had planned to close the median crossover at that intersection for safety reasons. Residents raised concerns about southbound emergency vehicles reaching them in a timely way.

After about a year of back and forth discussions, state Rep. John Ward, DFL-Baxter, got involved recently and MnDOT now will leave that crossover open for southbound vehicles. There will be no way to turn south onto Highway 371 from Clark Lake Road.

However, Nisswa Mayor Brian Lehman said MnDOT indicated it wanted that to be a whole new project next year. The city wants it part of the Highway 371/County Road 18 project for funding reasons.

Temporary left turn lanes will be put in this fall, and the project will be finished next spring.

Public safety

Police reported 176 calls for service, 64 traffic warnings, 24 agency assists, 19 medicals, 10 traffic citations, 10 alarms and two arrests.

Prop 8 ban on gay marriages in California ruled unconstitutional

Post your comment

Comments on this article are now closed.

Reader comments

  1. This is really good news; now maybe we can do the same over here as well

  2. How great. Lets hope it works all the way to the top. Great news for our American brothers and sisters and all of us :-)

  3. A victory for gay and lesbian Californians that is a victory for all…..

    Another blow in our favour in this historic civil rights struggle

    Now lets bring the fight in Britain

  4. Absolutely Fantastic! Now let’s take it GLOBAL and get equal rights everywhere!

  5. So does this mean Gay couples will be allowed to marry again in California within days or weeks, or is it still in limbo until the prop 8 supporters have taken it to the supreme court?

  6. Great news! Just a pity Gordon Brown wasn’t as supportive of GLB&T marriage in the UK, when he was in a position to do something about it.

  7. Wonderful news! The bigots lost. This judgement will have ramifications for other states. I hope marriages will recommence soon and if it now goes to the Supreme court that it will end up with an outcome that reinforces equal rights.

  8. Gareth – at this moment, gays and lesbians still can’t marry in California – the judge has issues a temporary stay on the ruling until he can rule on a longer stay that would last until the appeal is decided. We should know within a few weeks whether he issues the longer stay or not. Hopefully he won’t and gays and lesbians in California can start marrying again….

  9. It sounds like Judge Walker did issue a stay pending appeal, which means no marriages yet. The 9th Circuit can either decide to uphold or strike down the stay when they decide if they are going to hear the appeal. In any case, his ruling is incredible. No new evidence will be admissible. The anti-marriage forces will have to keep defending the pathetic witnesses and arguments already presented.

  10. Thanks for clearing that up..lets hope that the ban is officially lifted soon!!

  11. Great decision.

  12. Oo-er Missus ooo no 5 Aug 2010, 1:22am

    CNN got it wrong. He will rule on a stay on Friday 6th. It looks likely he will refuse one from the language of the judgement. The losers will then immediately go to the Court above for a stay until they can hear the Appeal, and that court may be more minded to grant it.

  13. Hopefully once this gets to the supreme court, it is once again ruled unconstitutional to deny us our marriage rights.
    Then gay marriage will be the law of the land, all across America.

  14. The 9th circuit will probably uphold Judge Walker’s decision. So to David Cameron I say, are you paying attention? Banning same-sex couples from marrying is nothing more than discrimination. Take your head out of the sand and start doing the right thing by allowing us to marry in the UK. If he’s so committed to full equality, he’ll follow Judge Walker’s ruling. Well done, California, you put the UK to shame where not one of us can marry. There will be no full equality in our own country until the ban is lifted. Cameron should have the guts and the common decency put an end to it once and for all.

  15. A really important ruling by Judge Walker, everything needs to change from here on.
    And yes Robert,I agree…
    Cameron,are you paying attention?
    Stonewall, are you paying attention?

  16. Peter & Michael 5 Aug 2010, 7:02am

    Now, can we expect our discriminatory Civil Partnership to be transformed into Full Same-Sex Civil Marriage in an equal society Messrs Cameron/Clegg?

  17. D F Giancola 5 Aug 2010, 7:05am

  18. Greetings from the USA!

    Check the links, here are all the the precious arguments canceling the opposition step by step:

  19. Good news –

    of course Brown forgot to tell them that their marriage wouldn’t be recognised here as well!!!! WE DON’T HAVE GAY MARRIAGE!

    Also didn’t Brown also say he was pushing to get the CP recognised abroad. What exactly did he do, did he get the CP recognised in California? Is the Duthc gay marriage recognised there?

    Good news for the Californians but how do they recognise foeign partnerships?

  20. trimegisto 5 Aug 2010, 9:11am

    Walker, California Judge! ;) (and a gay one, by the way)

    Whoooohoooo!!!! Almost there,California!

  21. When this trial was initially proposed, many gay rights organisations opposed it, feeling “now wasn’t the time”. They have since come around and now celebrate this victory.

    Perhaps there’s a lesson in that for Stonewall. If not, perhaps we need to get a better gay rights charity in place to properly campaign for our rights.

  22. de Villiers 5 Aug 2010, 10:05am

    It is not helpful for political questions to be converted into legal questions and taken to a judge (or sometimes a panel of judges) to decide. More often that not, rights secured by courts rather than elected parliaments or congresses lack legitimacy or widespread support.

  23. de Villiers – but sometimes elected parliaments or congresses are more concerned with votes and not equality and rights, that why the courts are there, they shouldn’t in therory be politically motivated and are there to ensure that justice is upheld!

  24. The irrational supporters of Prop8 hit the wall of precision legal reasoning at light-speed and came off worst for it. The fundamental basis of their entire efforts was shown by the learned Judge to be nothing more than motivated hatred for others who are different from themselves. The grounds for appeal must be well founded either in a challenge to findings of fact (impossible in this case) or interpretation or misapplication of law (more than doubtful). I hope they do continue with this hopeless case because it can only prove to the world what a collection of liars and hatemongers they are in the promotion of it. Blankenhorn and Hak – Shing William Tam the two rotten pillars upon which the religious homophobes hoped to hold up their worthless case became in fact the best possible witnesses against them. Congratulations to our American Brothers and Sisters, well done to the advocates who fought our side.

  25. Excellent news! :D But what will happen if it does get to the Supreme Court? :s Is it correct that if that Court rules in favour of same sex marriage, then it’ll become federal law? Can it be that easy?

    It made me sick to read what Gordon Brown said. How dare he pontificate about discrimination when he was quite happy to discriminate against same sex couples in this country. And is that why he used the word “partnerships” (“Proposition 8…this attempt to create divorces for 18,000 people who were perfectly legally brought together in partnerships.”) rather than the word ‘marriage’?

  26. No 21: Jae: you say:

    “When this trial was initially proposed, many gay rights organisations opposed it, feeling “now wasn’t the time”. They have since come around and now celebrate this victory.”

    Are you speaking about the HRC (Human Rights Campaign)?

    From what I can make out about them is that they are the same as Stonewall – more worried about maintainig their connections with those in power, rather than fighting for the rights of the communities they claim to represent.

  27. HRC joined Freedom to Marry, ACLU, Lamda Legal, GLAAD, Victory Fund, Log Cabin Republicans, and PFLAG in denouncing the Perry v. Schwarzenegger lawsuit, saying in an open letter, “Rather than filing premature lawsuits, we need to talk to our friends, family and neighbors, and help them understand why denial of the freedom to marry is wrong.” ”

    Now they are thrilled.

    Lesson to be learned:

    I’m looking in particular at Stonewall UK here.

  28. The 9th circuit in California is the most liberal in all of the United States and will probably uphold Judge Walker’s decision at which point gay couples can resume applying for marriage licences. This has huge implications for the other states where a ban on same-sex marriage is in place. Since this case will have set precedent, it is unlikely that any conservative judges will have an easy time opposing it. The horse is out of the barn and its never going back in. Cameron, StonewallUK et al, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION, SEPARATE UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME IS NEVER EQUAL OR ABOUT FULL EQUALITY, its nothing more than segregation. I know of no other group of people in our country that is discriminated against in this manner. The ban should be lifted and Cameron, if he’s really committed to FULL equality, should make sure it happens before the next election and not use it as an election campaign issue just to get more gay votes then do nothing once re-elected.

  29. de Villiers 5 Aug 2010, 4:42pm

    > de Villiers – but sometimes elected parliaments or congresses are more concerned with votes and not equality and rights

    All rights are political rights. For a court to determine what is a right is to convert a political question into a legal question for resolution by one judge.

  30. In the case of the Supreme Court there are 9 Judges. Appellate Courts have 3. There are many good examples of the absolute necessity of the Judiciary to affirm the Rights guaranteed in the Constitution and to prevent the tyranny of the irrational and the unlawful over minorities. This is yet one more example of the Courts restating the Constitutional law applicable, as in this situation. The Court being the protector of rights in the face of the unlawful and the irrational who would deny them to the entitled. The religionists, and the affiliated shabby liars who make up that ragbag of the disreputably intentioned to deprive others of their Constitutional Rights are now predictably, ranting and raving having been delivered of a well aimed swift kick up the backside. The fight goes on, but make no mistake about it, they lost an important battle today, one that they may not recover from. I look forward to seeing the “Church of the Latterday Saints” lose its tax exempt status because this is a further example of the deceit they promulgate, its main activities are those of a political organisation and should be dealt with as such.

  31. de Villiers 6 Aug 2010, 5:09pm

    > There are many good examples of the absolute necessity of the Judiciary to affirm the Rights guaranteed in the Constitution

    What is a right as guaranteed by the Constitution is still a political matter. There is much disagreement still as to whether the Constitution protects a woman’s right to have an abortion. Decades after a court ruling on this decision, many still see it as “wrongly decided”.

    Those who think that judges have done no more than protect a right that already existed will have already held the view that abortion was protected by the Constitution. Those who thought that the Constitution protected no such right will consider that the judges made law. For either position, whether or not the constitution protected this is a political question. What is considered to be “tyranny” is, similarly, just another political evaluation.

    That the decision is taken first by one judge at first instance, then adjudicated upon by an appellate panel of three and then a final appeal panel of five or nine does not change the position that a handful of individuals decide the political nature of rights over a parliament or a congress.

    It is as if the important rights of hundreds of millions of people are determined not by an fluid, elected body representing the populous and responsive to its changes in cultural values and mores but a fixed panel of twelve or thirteen people, there for life.

  32. This is about Gay rights, gay marriage not about abortion. Nobody has taken any rights away from the hundreds of millions who are eligible to vote. What they are not eligible to vote on in the first place are matters that violate the Constitution. So don’t be that surprised when the Courts defend the Constitution to make that understood. The facts are that a collective of religious nutcases decided to spew their hate over what they fondly imagined was a passive minority, they were wrong. The minority fought back and proved to the watching world that behind all the “family values” hypocracy being vomited out was pure unreasoning hate against gay men and women nothing more. The message is this and it could not be more clear, religion and the state are separate under the Constitution and will always be so, get over it. Don’t like Gay marriage? Don’t marry a gay. Mind your own business, get on with your own life and keep your crazy religious ideas out of other peoples lives. It’s really that simple. All the so called ‘Churches’ that promoted discrimination against Gays in this Prop8 fiasco must have their tax exempt status removed because they are political organisations and should be taxed accordingly.

The US Supreme Court declined a request to lift the ban on out gay troops serving in the military on Friday.

In the latest round of the fight to have the law repealed, Republican gay group Log Cabin Republicans asked the court to overturn a lower court’s ruling that the ban should remain in place indefinitely.

The Supreme Court upheld the ruling and did not comment.

Last month, the gay group won a ruling by a US District Judge that the policy should be lifted immediately.

The ban was lifted for just eight days before the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the ban should stay in place while the Justice Department appealed it.

Focus will now turn to Congress, which began a lame-duck session today.

America’s largest gay rights group, Human Rights Campaign, is calling for grassroots action to urge the Senate to pass a defence bill with a repeal measure attached.

The annual National Defense Authorization Act has been passed by the House and the Senate Armed Services Committee with the repeal measure and must now be passed by the Senate.

The White House is understood to be keen to see the law repealed through Congress but controversial measures may be removed from the bill to ensure it passes in the brief time window available.

A gay couple from Brighton hope they will become the first civil partners to be elected as councillors at the same time.

Peter Booth, a businessman, and Kelvin Poplett, a travel agent, are standing as Tory candidates for East Brighton ward next month alongside Chris Sandland, who was a founder member of Stonewall.

The ward’s three seats are currently held by Labour councillors Gill Mitchell, Warren Morgan and Craig Turton.

Mr Poplett said: “We are fighting to win.”

The chairman of gay Conservative group LGBTory, Matthew Sephton, said: “For Peter and Kelvin to be elected together as civil partners could well be yet another first for the LGBT community.“

    Picked up a pup from TG, supposedly of CH Dynomite and a bitch called Bonnie II. However, when asked how Bonnie II was bred i got one story. When my papers arrived i got another! A whole different ped! Guess the only way ya know for sure is if u saw the pup born, ha. As far as CH dynomite being the sire, who knows, maybe.....? Ped says so! TG deffinately has some good stock on his yard (hand picked my pup). But as far as really knowing your dogs true ped, cmon. The guy puts out quality animals for sure. But as far as really knowing the story behind you dog, don't hold your breath. Literally hundreds of pups sold per year, think about it. By the way my pups awesome, game as they come, like I stated earlier good dogs! Its just that with so many dogs being produced, guess he has a hard time keeping track. Just my two cents

    lol!! dang did you ask him about it?? you gotta post pics of your new pup up so we can see!! what are your plans for the new puppy?

    how do you know the pups game if its just a pup?

  4. and how can any man produce quality dogs if he dont know how their bred ?
    if i put a blindfold on and breed the 2 nearest dogs and they come out alive and healthy........have i bred a good litter :confused:

    some folk are easily pleased !

  5. #5
    something dont sound right.........I have bought dogs from TG and never had a mishap such as yours never was told one ped and then been told another..........you need to talk to him about it not air it on a public forum I have MUCH respect for the man!

    if you have a problem with Tom i suggest you take it up with him and not talk $#@! about him on a public forum.

  7. in all fairness its probably right to get in touch with him before airing dirty laundry in public.....my statement was in reference to the lad saying he had quality animals

    however,any time a person breeds dogs for financial gain only.... they can expect some $#@! to be hurled their way from time to time....it go,s with the territory.

  8. My dogs a little over a year old now, and I dont give a damn about a ped thats for sure, just wanted a good dog. And thats what i got. Im not like most people bragging how my dog was bred. Just figured i'd go to the source thats all (chances are you'll get a good one). I'm not gonna call TG and hassle him over one breeding, chances are there have been hundreds of breedings in the last year. Think he keeps track of em all? Think he wants to deal with my dumb $#@! questions that mean nothing in the long run anyways (to me)? Did ask him once when i received my papers, and got...I'm busy call you later. Guess we all gota make a living, right? If you want a good dog, go to TG, if not, get off his nuts.

  9. #9
    To Each there own...........I haven't had a problem been dealing with him since 1995 and at time he is busy with his family and stuff if you get him at a good time he will answer any questions you got

  10. #10
    hell, im pretty sure if you made it clear to the man WHAT EXACTLY you were looking for in a pup, he would have done his best to pick one that suits you. if you called him tellin him you wanted an athletic dog and didnt care what stock it came from i wouldnt blame the guy for givin you any old dog.

    call him and (kindly) ask him what the true story is. ask him first about what he told you and then read him the ped and juss let him know your confused and your wondering for a piece of mind.

    ---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

    on another note, ive heard mixed thigs about TG.

    some refer to him as one of the most respected in the game today

    others refer to him as a peddler.

    whats the deal with this? since ive first heard the name come out of my gramps mouth (when i was about 14) i always thought he was a respected reputable dogman.
    but lately ive heard folks referr to him as nothing more than a peddler.

    can somebody clear this up for me?

    from what i hear the dude makes $500-1,500 WEEKLY just from breeding frisco.

  11. learn all the controversy surrounding frisco and maybe theres your answer......

    at the end of the day every man makes judgement based on his own understanding.....when something cant be proved one way or another it just comes down to what you believe and what you dont.

  12. #12
    the controversy? all the dog did was have sex right?

  13. #13
    No there is alot of controversy surrounding Frisco.... The ADBA had questions about the amount of pups being reported as sired by Frisco... I forget the final count.... so they asked TG to DNA Frisco so they could be sure the pups were off of Frisco and TG refused....

    So there's this big gray cloud around Frisco and how many pups were actually off of him and how many weren't... thats why you see alot of people wanting the Chinaman blood without Frisco in it... like the stuff off of Frank White for example.

    The contreversy is wether the dog was still able to produce at the times in question, and TG's refusal to do DNA testing I believe.

  15. #15
    like this? check out chinabuck

  16. #16
    Yes Chinabuck would be a good example as well... not to mention James Edwards was a good dogman in his time... he lives in eastern NC I plan on getting down there to meet him one day

    james edwards?? not dude from american me lol

    my understanding of mr.edwards is that he has a far bigger reputation on the internet than he has in the bulldog world outside....and he hates us europeans !!!!.....interesting character though i must admit.

    as regards frisco.....if im not wrong this was all tied up with the frozen semen and the fact frisco was siring more pups after his death than when he was alive.........i know many of the frisco dogs through lee ling etc that reached eastern europe proved not to be descendants of frisco at all according to their breeders.

    im not a big frisco/chinaman fan myself so feel free to correct me if im wrong.

  19. #19
    I dunno Clueless Mr Edwards had one of the best dogs of all time in my opinion in Gr Ch Molly Bee 8xw... He may like the fraternity across the pond I dunno I've never heard that.

    But yes the frozen semen thing was the big issue.. and then the refusal to DNA so that pups off him could be DNA'd and now if you have a pup off frisco frozen semen... its my understanding they can't be registered with the ADBA.. but I may be mistaken

  20. no no fair play im not disputing mr edwards had some good ones....level of competition id be dubious of and he is certainly better known on the internet than he was " in the day " as he likes to call it ....but im only going off what others " in the day " have said.....im sure he,s a good guy we could all learn from.....a few well known dutchman i know might not be as respectful as im being but hey we all have our problems ;)

    yes thats pretty much what i heard re frisco......i was told many pups claimed to have been directly off frisco were actually off frisco sons and gr sons etc....so not strictly different blood,just different parentage....but then paper hangings paper hanging i guess

Image: Vader, Tivi Et Igni, Pitriff, review, death metalVader

I could write all kinds of stuff about how Vader are the icons of Polish Death Metal. I could put all kinds of praise on them, and talk about how they and Behemoth are the trendsetters that allowed people to understand that Poland had some death metal brilliance coming out of their country. I could talk for a long time that they are playing faster than ever before. Or I can give you a fascinating fact about the new Vader release, TIBI ET IGNI. I'll go with that.  There's a soft, slow part on TIBI ET IGNI. That's right! Are you surprised? For almost two minutes at the start of "Go To Hell", you get lulled in with a creepy, haunting and yet very soft and docile opening movement. Amazing, right? Don't be fooled though. From there, you are launched into what Vader does best - destroy you with a furiousness that only the most elite of the old school death metal bands have ever been able to offer. TIBI ET IGNI is an old school release, and much like their previous effort WELCOME TO THE MORBID REICH, it just flat out crushes.

There's a million reasons to love this effort. I'll name a few. First, "Armada On Fire". Simply put, I just miss this kind of death metal. "Armada On Fire" sounds like the kind of cool stuff that came out in the early '90s after Cannibal Corpse redefined the genre with EATEN BACK TO LIFE and BUTCHERED AT BIRTH. This is old school death metal, with crazy drumming, sick speed riffs on guitar, and guttural vocals that feel as sickening as the message they are trying to portray. That's always been a hallmark of Vader vocalist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek. His vocals have always been evil as fuck, and yet they are just clear enough to be understood easily, which makes them far more heavy and evil.

Second, "Triumph Of Death". This may just be the best song in Vader's entire catalog. It's led by some crazy fast footwork of drummer James Stewart, as well as some cool guitar work from both Wiwczarek and Marek "Spider" Parek. This track is just raging throughout. Again, and I can't emphasize this enough, but the vibe here is that of the most classic sounding death metal you can think of. Think about releases like Obituary's CAUSE OF DEATH or Immolation's DAWN OF POSSESSION from the old days and you'll get the idea.

Third, the rest of the release. Over the course of TIBI ET IGNI, there just is no let up. It just keeps hitting you in the face like the husband of an abused housewife that somehow thinks he'll change one day. The launch of brutality on songs like "Abandon All Hope" and "The Eye Of The Abyss" is literally tiring, and yet sonically awesome from start to finish.

PITRIFF RATING - 99/100 - This is as close to perfect as it gets for me in the world of death metal. It has all the right elements. The songs hit hard and fast. There's no metalcore crap to ruin it. The production is top notch. The release itself is not too long to where you get bored with it. TIBI ET IGNI is a powerful release from a band that is, arguably, the best in the business today at creating death metal. That's a huge claim, I know. Time and time again though, Vader backs it up. Incredible release.

{Cotter Pin Earrings}

I love when I come across projects that are made out of something unexpected.  They inspire me to see items in a different way--to see beyond what they are intended for to what they could become.  While perusing the hardware section of Walmart for crafting possibilities, I came across a bag of cotter pins.

I bought a pack of them because I believed I could do something with them.  (I think they cost about a dollar.)  Soon, an idea for a pair of earrings was born.  I decided to use the technique I used for my string wrapped pendants on the pins.  I slid a piece of embroidery floss to the top of the pin.

I rubbed Liquid Stitch on the pin as I wrapped the string around it, starting with the loop.

I wrapped three sets of three different size pins with three different embroidery flosses. (Whew!)

I then attached a jump ring to the loop of each pin.

I attached all three jump rings to a larger jump ring and attached that to an earring hook.  Now I have a new pair of earrings!

I love how inexpensive and easy to make they were.

I wore them to school today, and a very country young boy said, "Mrs. Lee's wearin' pins in her ears!"  He looked closer and said, "That's them things we use when we work on tractors, but they got string wrapped around them."  I thought it was funny that he recognized what they were even thought they were wrapped in string and hanging on my ears!

I think they're a cute accessory for everyday or those special days when you're working on your tractor! ;)
And one more thing before you leave...I submitted my PB Inspired Mercury Glass Lamp to Knock Off Decor, and guess what?  Tonight, my project will be featured on the website.

If you've never checked out Knock Off Decor before, you are missing out!  It's a huge compilation of knock offs that many, many bloggers have created.  I would love for you to come visit!  Thanks!

  1. I love these earrings!! Really, really creative. They turned out awesome! I'm a new follower!

  2. NOW NOW NOW!! You really do see differently than the average person! I see these everyday at work and would never never never think of a pair of earrings. I'm gonna make some and see what the guys have to say about it. They will probably throw me a few nuts and bolts and ask me what I could do with those. LOL

  3. Sweet earrings and congrats on your feature!

  4. So neat that your student recognized your earrings in their natural form!

  5. Wow what cute earrings. SO unique and pretty. Congrats on your feature! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration over at Sunday's Best.

  9. Great job on the earrings!
    Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my fabric necklace. Have a wonderful week.

  10. You are brilliant! These are so cute. And I also love that the boy pointed them out :)

  11. I have to echo previous commentor, you are a genius. Well she said brilliant, same thing? Yeah. So darned inventive and pretty smart kid to be that observant.
    You have to have lots of patience to wrap the embroidery floss around the pins. Guess the liquid stitch must make the floss stick? Sure hope so.
    I'm all thumbs so don't think I'll be trying that one but sure admire your ability to get it done. I know my flaws and patience at that kind of thing ain't it.

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to leave an awesome comment! :)

A Better Way to Pay for College

As the cost of both public and private colleges and universities continues to increase, federal funding has not kept pace. This growing gap between what college costs and the financial aid available is causing many families to resort to higher-cost private student loans to pay for higher education.

Pittsford FCU, in partnership with Chevron FCU, is pleased to announce it will now offer private student loans through a nationwide program called Credit Union Student Choice. Epitomizing the people-helping-people ideals of the credit union industry, the Credit Union Student Choice program was created with one goal in mind – helping students and families finance a higher education, without a higher price tag.

With zero origination fees, lower interest rates and fewer fees than other major lenders, and flexible repayment options, Credit Union Student Choice can fill the funding gaps federal aid can leave behind. With these benefits, it's easy to see why we have established this partnership to offer Credit Union Student Choice as a better way to pay for college.

Whether you are a student yourself or the parent of a student, Pittsford FCU is here to help. Read more about how to choose student loans and the financial aid process in general by visiting PittsfordFCU.org/studentchoice.

Pittsford FCU is again teaming up with the American Cancer Society for the Relay for Life event July 14-15 at Pittsford Sutherland High School and will donate $5 for each member who makes the switch from paper statements to eStatements between April and July 2012.

  • Make a donation, purchase a luminaria, and/or join our relay team at PittsfordFCU.org/relay.
  • Purchase a gift basket raffle ticket at either branch, or during the relay event ($2 for one chance; $5 for three chances).

Donate or join our team today to help us reach our goal!

Herbicide Found In Mother’s Milk

Baby Girl SleepingDoes America’s most-used weed killer endanger infants?

A recent study has found that the herbicide glyphosate, sold under the trade name Roundup (and others), is present in alarming levels in breast milk of American females. The study found that samples of mother’s milk from women in the United States contained levels of the weed-killer that were 760 to 1,600 time greater than the amount of pesticides allowed by the European Water Directive. Those levels are still less than the 700 ug/l maximum contaminant level (MCL) that the Environmental Protection Agency has decided is safe.

The findings are sure to be controversial. The EPA contamination level was decided on the much-challenged assumption that glyphosate was excreted and did not accumulate in the human body. Those non-accumulation findings were based on studies sponsored by, among others, Monsanto, the maker of Roundup.

The breast milk results are sure to be challenged on the basis of who commissioned the studies. The samples were tested by Microbe Inotech Labs of St. Louis at the request of Moms Across America, an organization whose goal is “to raise awareness and support Moms with solutions to eat GMO Free as we demand GMO labeling locally and nationally simultaneously.” Glyphosate, in the form of Roundup, is the herbicide used in conjunction with most genetically engineered crops. Those crops have been bred to be resistant to Roundup even as it kills other broadleadf plants. It is also sold for use on lawns and family gardens.

GMO NewsThe study also found that urine from American mothers contained levels of glyphosate ten times higher than urine from European women.

The study was supported and reported on by Sustainable Pulse, an online advocacy group and news service that follows GMO and sustainable agriculture issues.

The study as reported at the Mom’s web site, contained this confounding warning from Stephanie Steneff, a senior research scientist at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology:

“It is certainly disheartening to know that glyphosate is present in breast milk, but lest you think this means you should not nurse your baby, please be aware that soy-based formula probably also contains glyphosate, possibly in even higher concentrations. The US government has conducted very few studies measuring the amount of glyphosate residue in food, but a report issued by the Department of Agriculture in 2011 showed that over 90% of 300 samples of soy contained glyphosate, and nearly 96% contained AMPA, a derivative of glyphosate.

Studies have suggested that glyphosate is linked to cancers, endocrine disruption, DNA damage, leukemia, birth defects, and neurological problems such as Parkinson’s disease. It is also widely believed that Roundup is a threat to the very farm lands on which our food is grown. Inert ingredients in Roundup also pose problems. Scientific American reported in 2009 that the polyethoxylated tallowamine carried by Roundup can “kill human cells, particularly embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells.”

According to Sustainable Pulse, Monsanto’s sales of Roundup jumped 73 percent to $371 million in 2013. Glyphosate pesticides, sprayed on GMO soy, corn, canola, cotton, and others, are the most widely used pesticides in the world.

Roundup’s effectiveness has recently been questioned as weeds develop resistance to the product.

No doubt, there will be efforts to dismiss and smear the study. In December, the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology retracted its report of a French study that found that groups of lab rats fed a lifetime diet of either Monsanto’s NK603 corn treated with Roundup or exposed to varying levels of Roundup herbicide in drinking water died earlier and had higher rates of tumors and organ damage than control after heavy industry criticism regarding details of the study’s methods. No doubt the Mom’s funded study will also be attacked.

But the Mom’s study, together with all the evidence accumulating against Roundup, is a cry for action. We must demand studies independent of Monsanto and other corporate interests be immediately undertaken. This includes testing baby formula for traces of the chemical. Until then, the EPA should climb out of Monsanto and big agriculture’s pocket and put in a ban, as the Organic Consumers Association demands, so that all possibility of danger to our health, our air, and our water is removed.

Am I dreaming? Maybe. But it’s about time we find out just who’s in charge of the government that’s sworn to protect us. Wealthy business interests? Or the people? The health of our children demands it.

Minn. to Pay for Biased Early Retirement Incentives

By Rebecca Moore | May 03, 2012

May 3, 2012 ( - A federal judge has ordered the Minnesota Board of Public Defense (BOPD) to make restitution to settle a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) age discrimination lawsuit.

The BOPD must pay $53,000 to four former employees who were denied employer contributions for retiree health and dental insurance because they were older than age 55 at the time they retired. The BOPD must also offer to pay future premium costs for one of the employees who would still be entitled to receive them but for the unlawful early retirement provision.

The action resolves the last in a series of cases the EEOC brought against Minnesota state agencies regarding early retirement incentive plans contained in collective bargaining agreements for certain employees. The incentive plans required that the employee retire by age 55 to obtain the incentive, and would lose it if he worked longer.

For an employee who retired by age 55, the employer continued to pay the employer’s share of the insurance premiums which generally ranged from 85% to 100% of the total amount of the premium—and continued to do so until the retiree reached age 65. The employer paid nothing for an employee who retired after age 55, and the cost of retiree insurance fell entirely on the retiree.

Thus, explained EEOC Senior Trial Attorney Laurie Vasichek, who led the litigation team on the cases, “Not retiring by age 55 was like stepping off a cliff as far retiree medical insurance was concerned, and the parties to the collective bargaining agreements referred to this provision as the ‘Age 55 Cliff.’” The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court ruling in the case which held that the early retirement incentives were arbitrary age discrimination.

Albert, I appreciate the thought, but I didn't sustain nearly the losses that Joe did, so anything we pool together should go to him when hes ready and any other members who sustained heavy losses.

Joe, what happened in our area was awful. My area got hit pretty bad, and then I saw Broad Channel, Rockaways, and Breezy Point and it was somehow even worse. Im sorry to hear about your condo. I didnt get my power/heat back until Friday. I don't know if you guys have hot water down there, and I dont think you do, but doing water changes with hot water can help keep the temps up. Thats what I did for two weeks with my community tank.

Question on light intensity

What would my Via Aqua 2x18watt Compact pl fixture over a 12 gallon 16" tall 418W tank be considered, low, medium, or high light? Also what plants would be good under this light along with yeast CO2, florite black sand substrate, and appropriate ferts? Will I be able to grow any groud covers?

P.S. how do I remove the bulbs? do they just pull out? I don't want to break anything.

Somewhere medium, maybe low if the reflector isn't great. You would be able to grow many plants incl ground covers that can do with medium light levels.

In Moving Final-Performance Speech, Kelli O'Hara Assures Bridges Is "By No Means Going Into The Ground"

By .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
19 May 2014

After 137 performances the cast of the new musical The Bridges of Madison County took their final bow May 18 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

The production finished its run following four Tony nominations: two for composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown (for Best Orchestrations and Best Score), one for Kelli O'Hara as Best Leading Actress in a Musical and one for Best Lighting Design for Donald Holder.

As the audience shouted praise for the performers at the closing performance, five-time Tony nominee O'Hara calmly quieted them as Brown and Marsha Norman, who penned the book, joined the cast on stage.

In a quietly moving speech available online, O'Hara firmly asserted that though the new musical was closing on Broadway, it was not the end of the road for Bridges.

"On behalf of our director Bartlett Sher, we want to say something — we want to say thank you for coming to help us send this out into the world, because this is by no means going into the ground," O'Hara explained to the rapt patrons.

"For all those of you who don't know how it is to be in theatre or what it is to make a show, we work really hard together to do the emotional part, and it's so heavy for us; and every person in this cast, this crew, the men and the women in the front and the back, all on the stage, the house staff, everybody has done this; and I know I can speak for them all when I say it's been a labor of love. This is something that we've believed in from the very beginning."

O'Hara went on to explain the intimate journey the cast had taken with Bridges and explained her own five-year affair with the piece and her collaboration with creators Brown and Norman.

As she came to the close of her brief and moving words, O'Hara confessed, "I thought today wasn't going to go over very well, and then I realized that I could do this show because I felt the exact same way every single night of performing it as I felt tonight...which is absolute and complete gratitude; and I will never feel any other way, and I have never worked with more sincere, uncynical, beautifully talented people in my entire life and I don't know that I will again."

Her thanks to the audience were drowned out by the surge of applause as the patrons took to their feet.

The Bridges of Madison County is a new musical that centers on a brief, four-day love affair between a National Geographic photographer and an Italian-American housewife in 1965 Iowa. Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep starred in the 1995 film adaptation.

In addition to O'Hara and her leading man Steven Pasquale (Reasons to Be Pretty, Far From Heaven, "Rescue Me") the original cast and crew of the Broadway production follow: Tony nominee Hunter Foster (Hands on a Hardbody, Urinetown, Little Shop of Horrors), Derek Klena (Wicked), Caitlin Kinnunen (Spring Awakening), Cass Morgan (Memphis), Michael X. Martin (Catch Me If You Can), Whitney Bashor, Jennifer Allen, Ephie Aardema, Katie Klaus, Luke Marinkovich, Aaron Ramey, Dan Sharkey, Tim Wright, Jessica Vosk, Charlie Franklin and Kevin Kern.

The creative team included Michael Yeargan (scenic design), Donald Holder (lighting design), Catherine Zuber (costume design), Jon Weston (sound design), Deborah Hecht (dialect coach) and Thomas Murray (music director).

The musical was produced by Jeffrey Richards, Stacey Mindich, and Jerry Frankel. They were joined by Gutterman Chernoff, Hunter Arnold, Ken Davenport, Carl Daikeler, Scott M. Delman, Aaron Priest, Red Mountain Theatre Company, Independent Presenters Network, Libby Adler Mages/Mari Stuart, Caiola Productions, Remmel Dickinson, David Lancaster, Bellanca Smigel Rutter, Mark S. Golub & David S. Golub, Will Trice, with Warner Bros Theatre Ventures and The Shubert Organization.

Ruth Maleczech, Founder of Mabou Mines, Seminal Downtown Theatre Group, Dies at 74

By .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
01 Oct 2013

Ruth Maleczech
Ruth Maleczech

Ruth Maleczech, who co-founded the influential and sui generis experimental theatre troupe Mabou Mines and helped shepherd it through four decades of productions, becoming arguably its most visible member, died in her sleep Sept. 30 at her home. She was 74.

As co-creator of Mabou Mines, Ms. Maleczech directed and/or appeared in many of the company's productions. A regular presence in the downtown theatre scene in the 1970s and 1980s, she became something of an earth mother figure not only to her own outfit, but to the New York avant garde theatre community in general—a role only buttressed by her warm, matronly aura.

Ms. Maleczech and Lee Breuer, who met while studying theatre at UCLA in the late 1950s, founded Mabou Mines in New York in 1970, encouraged to do so by composer Philip Glass and director Joanne Akalaitis, who were then married. At the time, the couple were performing in Paris, having moved to Europe a few years earlier. The name was drawn from a property in Dunvegan, Nova Scotia, that Glass and Rudy Wurlitzer were then negotiating to buy. According to the theatre's website, it was chosen because "it sounded like a band, or the title of an album."

Early members—along with Maleczech, Breuer, Glass and Akalaitis—included actors David Warrilow, Frederick Neumann, Bill Raymond and Terry O'Reilly. The company's aesthetic and administrative process was radically collaborative, in the manner of a commune, with members sharing in all artistic decisions. Specific credits were initially not detailed in programs. Mabou Mines productions emphasized elements of music, dance, art, puppetry and movement as much as traditional theatrical tropes. Indeed, in its early years, the company was as closely tied with the art world as it was with the theatre.

Ellen Stewart, artistic director of La MaMa ETC, saw Mabou Mines' first production, a four-hour work called The Red Horse Animation, and invited the company to take up a residency at La MaMa. Soon after, Joe Papp of the Public Theater lent some assistance, giving the troupe the old prop shop at the Public in which to hold performances. Notable successes during the company's first decade included Dressed Like an Egg and Dead End Kids, a free-form work about the specter of nuclear holocaust.

In time, the company became closely associated with the work of Samuel Beckett, performing a total of eight pieces by the author, some of which were texts not originally written for the theatre. It also frequently invited figures from the music world, like Bob Telson and David Byrne, to collaborate on productions.

Mabou Mines was awarded on Obie Award in 1974 for "General Excellence" and one for "Sustained Achievement" in 1986. Several other Obies followed throughout the '70s and '80s, for direction, music and acting. Ms. Maleczech shared an Obie with Julie Archer in 1980 for her design of Vanishing Pictures, and received others, in 1983 and '84, for her performances in Hajj—a "performance poem" written by Breuer in which the actress' image was reflected and televised many times—and Through the Leaves, Franz Xaver Kroetz's unflinchingly grim play about a woman butcher and her abusive lover.

A late triumph for the actress came in 1990 with a gender-bending King Lear, in which the male roles were played by women and vice versa. The story was set in the American South in the 1950s, and the actors spoke softly, directly into microphones. Ms. Maleczech played the title role, for which she won another Obie Award. The production was not particularly well-reviewed, but nonetheless has endured as a sort of cultural landmark.

Shortly thereafter, Akalaitis, Raymond and a few others left the fold. (Glass had already departed.) Ms. Maleczech and Breuer soldiered on, but productions became less frequent, and—with the city's downtown theatre scene becoming more business-oriented and less artistically adventuresome—the company's halcyon days as an artistic force diminished. There were, however, still occasional flagship successes. Their 1996 production of Peter and Wendy became a popular favorite, produced at many theatres throughout the U.S. In 2003, it enjoyed a critical triumph with its adaptation of Ibsen's A Doll's House, in which all the men cast were under five feet tall. The production subsequently toured throughout the world.

Ruth Sophia Reinprecht was born Jan. 8, 1939, in Cleveland, OH, to Yugoslavian immigrants, and raised in Arizona. (Maleczech was an adaptation of her mother's maiden name, Maletic.) She first began performing in plays in high school. She attended UCLA, where she met Lee Breuer. In San Francisco, she worked with the Actors Workshop and the San Francisco Mime Troupe, where she was first exposed to nontraditional dramatic forms. Upon moving to Europe, she further encountered a variety of avant-garde theatre techniques, including those of "Poor Theatre" theorist Jerzy Grotowski and the Berliner Ensemble. While there, she supported herself and her art by dubbing actor's voices in foreign films, including Catherine Deneuve. Breuer and Maleczech married in 1978. They later separated but continued to work together.

Ms. Maleczech occasionally acted outside the confines of Mabou Mines—though, even then, she typically worked with her associates from the company. She and Breuer co-directed a production of The Tempest in Central Park in 1981. Akalaitis directed her as Mistress Quickley in a 1990 staging of Henry IV and in a 1992 mounting of Woyzeck during her short tenure as artistic director of the Public. More recently, she acted in Charles Mee's First Love at New York Theatre Workshop (2001), and Martha Clarke's production of Belle Epoque at Lincoln Center Theater (2004).

Still, even as New York theatre became more commercial and codified, Ms. Maleczech—like director Richard Foreman and La MaMa's Ellen Stewart—remained a rare theatre figure who was largely committed to a single entity and artistic vision. Critic Robert Brustein notes the she was one of the few performers he could think of who, having never joined Actors' Equity, "actually choose to be [a] freelance Off-Broadway [actor]."

Robert Brustein, for his part, in Letters to a Young Actor, discussed the tensions between a calling and a profession and said, "I know of few people, Ruth Maleczech of Mabou Mines, having steadfastly refused to join Equity," -- the professional actor's union -- "is one exception, who actually choose to be freelance Off-Broadway actors."

As a company, Mabou Mines always struggled to make ends meet financially, prompting Lee Breuer to once comment, “We're not upper middle class like everybody else in the avant-garde. Maybe Mabou Mines is the only truly lower-class theatre."

Ms. Maleczech agreed. "Mabou Mines is part of the working class," she said. "We work just like a carpenter or an electrician or anyone else."

She is survived by Mr. Breuer, and their two children, Clove and Lute.

PSU Ice Arena and Welcome Center Reaches Construction Milestone

November 4th, 2009 by Adam

Construction on the Plymouth State University Ice Arena and Welcome Center took a momentous step forward Friday, Oct. 30, with a ‘last beam signing’ ceremony at the construction site on Route 175-A in Holderness.

Last Beam
PSU Athletic Director John Clark is all smiles as he signs the Last Beam in the Oct. 30 ceremony.

The last steel beam of the project was signed by a variety of stakeholders of the $16 million dollar facility, including the chair of the Board of Trustees, members of the President’s Council, the Cabinet, Student Senate, men and women’s hockey teams, Health and Human Performance students and faculty, Athletics Department staff and coaches, and civic leaders from Holderness and Plymouth. PSU President Sara Jayne Steen said the ceremony not only marks a milestone in the construction process, but also celebrates those who have made the project possible.

Last Beam Group
Members of PSU’s Student Senate and University administrators pose with the “Last Beam” in front of Plymouth State’s new $16 million dollar Ice Arena and Welcome Center. Dozens of University students, athletes, administrators, donors and local officials signed the last beam, which will be hoisted into place November 9. The facility, which features green technology for energy savings and sustainability, is scheduled to open next summer.

“We are here today to thank those many, many people who have turned what once was a dream into the reality that is rising so beautifully before us,” Steen said. “We are extremely proud to bring this new ‘front door’ to the University and our region.”

The chair of the University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees, Ed Dupont, said the building will benefit the state.

“We take great pride in Plymouth State University and its aspirations for a better future for all of New Hampshire,” said Dupont. “The beauty and elegance of this project is its aim to benefit not only PSU and its students, but also to improve employment in the region, enhance opportunities for physical activity for local residents, bolster the tourism industry in central and northern New Hampshire, and expose more prospective students to the University.”

Lindsay Harrington, Student Senate speaker, spoke of students’ involvement in the project. She imagined the generations of students to follow, “who may think there’s always been an ice arena in Plymouth – as we think of the HUB or the Silver Center for the Performing Arts.”

The captain of the PSU men’s hockey team, senior Chris Chambers, said the University is taking a big step toward the future.

“I’m very proud for this institution,” Chambers said. “Not only will this be great for the University and students, but it will bring a lot more people to the community from around the state.”

The beam will be hoisted into place by Monday, November 9, where it will be visible to the public. The structure is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2010.

UK pledges £181m for life sciences overhaul

Prime Minister David Cameron announces reforms to build relationship between industry and the NHS

UK Prime Minister David Cameron is to announce a £181m fund to support the country's life sciences sector in a speech later today.

The package of reforms is designed to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as academic institutions in their efforts to bring new discoveries through development and onto the market, and also accelerate the take-up of new medicines in the UK's NHS.

At the heart of the proposals is a desire to get the pharma industry working closer together with the NHS and other public institutions, with the Prime Minister expected to say: "The end-game is for the NHS to be working hand-in-glove with industry as the fastest adopter of new ideas in the world."

The new Biomedical Catalyst Fund sets aside £181m for new drug development, an early-access scheme for experimental therapies within the NHS, measures to boost the enrolment of NHS patients into industry-sponsored clinical trials and - controversially - granting medical researchers access to anonymised patient records.

There has been an immediate reaction to the latter proposals with patient advocacy groups expressing concern that they could undermine patient confidentiality, although the opposition Labour party has suggested they are not against the idea, at least in principle.

Last week, Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: "Patients will benefit directly from our efforts to make health data transparent and easy to use by the medical research community."

In a recent interview with PMLiVE, CEO of the Association of the British Pharamceutical Industry (ABPI), Stephen Whitehead said that the pharma industry needs to build more effective partnerships with the NHS.

Action will also be taken to make sure that drugs which get the backing of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) are used in practice, overhauling the current system of locally-oriented prescribing formularies which can lead to differences in the availability of medicines across the country.

In the text for the speech released by Downing Street, the PM said "pressure on healthcare budgets in the West, emerging economies in the East, an ageing population, an explosion of knowledge - all creating a new paradigm for life sciences".

The life sciences sector has been a powerful industrial driver for the UK, with an annual turnover of £50bn, but needs to change in order to maintain its position within the global economy.

"My argument today is that … to keep pace with what's happening we've got to change radically - the way we innovate, the way we collaborate, the way we open up the NHS."

Also unveiled recently was a £158m investment in e-infrastructure to help support the UK's R&D base, including £43m for a new national supercomputer to support advanced research. An additional £24m has also been made available for high capacity data storage across UK's Research Councils.

Hydrogen Storage Article by Daschbach, Dang and McGrail Graces Cover of Journal

Image of Journal Cover

Congratulations to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's John Daschbach, Liem Dang, Pete McGrail and their co-authors on having their research featured on the September 7, 2006, cover of The Journal of Physical Chemistry, Part B. Their article describes the molecular interactions inside a prototypical molecule for storing and safely releasing hydrogen, a prerequisite for using hydrogen as an energy source.

In the paper, titled "Molecular Mechanisms of Hydrogen-Loaded β-Hydroquinone Clathrate," the authors employed molecular dynamics simulation techniques and analyses to show how to load four hydrogen atoms inside a β-hydroquinone clathrate. A clathrate is a cage-like molecule that can lock up and release hydrogen or their atoms. Loading multiple hydrogen clusters into the clathrate surprised the researchers as previous calculations assumed the hydrogen clusters were simply too large to fit inside the molecule.

The results of this paper may lead others to design clathrates not based on carbon ring structures that may provide reversible hydrogen storage under mild conditions.

The article was written in collaboration with Professor Tsun-Mei Chang at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, a former postdoctoral fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and L. Rene Corrales, a former scientist at PNNL.

The work was sponsored by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization in Japan, Laboratory Directed Research and Development funds at PNNL, DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, and DOE's Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

Congratulations again, team!
