A Grant County deputy jailer found himself behind bars.
Eric Bay Ashcraft, 23, of Dry Ridge, was charged on March 10 with accepting a bribe from an inmate and allowing contraband into the jail.
Ashcraft had been employed at the jail since June 2008. He resigned before his arrest.
Ashcraft also was the Grant County High School girls' soccer coach for the 2008 season. "He has completed his contract and met his duties for this year," said Grant County Superintendent Michael Hibbett.
A House bill strengthening and updating laws protecting children from Internet predators moved quickly through the 2009 Kentucky General Assembly.
House Bill 315, which had 21 cosponsors, including Rep. Royce Adams, D-Dry Ridge, prohibits registered sex offenders from using social-networking Web sites like MySpace and Facebook that are frequented by minors.
Passage of this bill allows Kentucky prosecutors to criminally charge sex offenders removed from the sites.
Since May of 2007, MySpace has removed the profiles of 90,000 sex offenders.
No one was injured when a Grant County school bus struck a vehicle just as school let out on March 17.
The bus, driven by Daniel P. Collins Jr., 52, of Corinth, was leaving Grant County Middle School, and pulled in front of a 2000 Ford Escape driven by Mary P. Smith, 71, of Williamstown.
There were 22 passengers on the bus at the time of the accident but there were no injuries.
Grant County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Maines is investigating the accident.
On March 12, the Grant County Board of Education approved next year's school calendar.
School will begin on Aug. 12 and tentatively end on May 18.
Something new to this year's calendar is that the students will have six early release days which the students will get out at 12:30 p.m. and the teachers will have mandatory professional development days where they will get out at 3:30 p.m.
Sunny Harper was just that – a mother with a sunny personality and a bright smile.
"She was pretty happy and bubbly," said Sheila Norman, Sunny's friend and landlord. "She loved her family and friends."
The Dry Ridge mother was traveling with her husband and three of her four children to pick up her new glasses in Georgetown when the Harper's 1991 Toyota Tercel was struck by a van pulling out of a driveway.
Juveniles out for a joy ride are believed to be the culprits behind a city vehicle being removed from the city garage and found on a nearby street.
Grant County Sheriff Chuck Dills said the pickup truck was taken fromthe city's maintenance building between Friday, March 13 and Sunday, March 15. The pickup was found near the Dalton Plaza Apartments and had no damage. "We believe that juveniles were responsible and are hoping someone will step forward and accept responsbility," Dills said.
Firefighters from Williamstown, Corinth, Crittenden, Jonesville and Dry Ridge held a training exercise on March 14 and March 19 on Main Street and the corner of School Road in Williamstown. Firefighters set fires inside the frame home and used them for training purposes. They were unable to burn the home completely on March 14 due to high winds and a large grass fire they were called away on. The land is owned by Elliston-Stanley Funeral Home and will be the site of a new parking lot to accomodate overflow parking. Photos by Bryan Miles
A vehicle chase lasted more than 30 minutes on Monday, March 9 and police still didn't get their guy.
Kentucky State Police Trooper Chad Mills attempted to stop a pickup truck after one matching its description was stolen from Kelly Drive in Dry Ridge. The truck wouldn't stop, so Williamstown Police put out stop sticks.
The truck ran over them and the suspect, who is described as male wearing blue jeans jumped out and ran down Hyde Road.
The Helping Hands Thrift Store is open for business.
The store's first official day open to the public was March 10.
"When we got here at 9:30 a.m. there were people waiting to get in," said Rev. Wil Jones, co-chair of the Helping Hands Board of Directors.
Helping Hands was formed 24 years ago in an effort to organize volunteers from churches in the community who wanted to assist families with food, clothing, furniture and cash when available.
About 15 of the more than 70 churches in Grant County actively support the organization.
A Crittenden man is in jail after police found dynamite, blasting caps and other bomb-making related materials in his bedroom.
Christopher Spreder, 26, was charged with receiving stolen property after police searched the home he was living in on March 5 and found items they believe have been stolen from Sterling Mine in Gallatin County.
Police received a tip from a parole officer that bomb-making materials were located in a mobile home on U.S. 25 in Crittenden.

I take it as my solemn duty to find excellent books for you, my dear reader. Good news– just as the summer is coming, I've found the perfect vacation read. At Home in the World, a brand new book by Tsh Oxenreider, will make you feel like you traveled around the world.
Except without the jet lag and the culture shock and the tiny little issue of funding the trip.
The Oxenreiders did it for us! And then Tsh recorded it all for us to enjoy. And some of it she recorded so we can be really glad we didn't have to experience it– like the home they rented where the sewer next door sort of exploded and then soaked the neighboring properties in unpleasantness. Or the long, dusty trip across a portion of Africa with three children. Those parts we can experience from a comfortable distance.
Most of the book is full of thoughtful explanations of why their family decided to take this nine-month journey from Asia, to the Pacific region, Africa, Europe, then home. What motivated them, why they sold their house, what was important to them as they traveled– we learn all these things as we enjoy the experience with them.
If you like to travel but feel guilty about it, like this is some sort of needless extravagance, this is precisely the book you need. Our family arranges our entire schedule and budget to travel as much as we can, and I often have to fight off a nagging feeling that we could be doing something much better with the money. This book reminded me that we're not being extravagant. We're teaching our children (and ourselves) something valuable by moving beyond our own world.
If you like the idea of travel but find it uncomfortable, expensive, or impossible for whatever reason, this is also the book for you. The Oxenreiders saw beautiful and important things all around the world, but also grew closer as a family. They played on playgrounds and saw Victoria Falls. They moved through the chaos of an Asian street and played in the woods with friends.
Real life, all around the world. I promise you won't be disappointed. Click here for the At Home in the World's Amazon page.
(All photos are courtesy of Tsh Oxenreider and her launch team, which I was happy to join! I received a free digital copy of the book, but all opinions are my own. Also, all Amazon links are affiliate links. End of fine print. Amen.)
2 Comments on Does your family love to travel? I have just the book for you!
I think it is cool when families do this sort of thing. However, I can not imagine nor do I really want to travel for so long with my family. I'd rather live vicariously in this circumstance.

doesnt interest me whatsoever. Never once did a faire except as a nooby back in the vanilla days
doesnt interest me whatsoever. Never once did a faire except as a nooby back in the vanilla days
Cause that never happened before Cataclysm right?you get idiots in your level 85 group who do 600 dps because hunters use expertise.
Vanilla, WotLK, Cataclysm, South Seas/Naz'jatar and then places in Twisting Nether, yet due to the ever crying, non-quest description reading and shiny-loving and overestimating idiots this community has contained Blizzard have screwed up the game, right now I'm not even waiting for the Blizzcon announcements, all I'm waiting for is my guild to find a proper replacement in place of mine, then I'll take my leave, not for another MMO of course, because what we have(and will have, SWTOR or GW2 eg) won't be what WoW was supposed to me as from what I've seen so far, the companies are blinded with their greed to the point now where they are aiming to gain money and forgetting to make the game. What I mean here is that, it should be a strong story driving the game not a fragile gameplay, yet they're just too lazy and extremely greedy(as every company is) to do that...
The problem in the end is Blizzard not trying to listen to the community, but trying to silence some annoying brats, they know it and do it and most of you ignore it while some are still crying on it.
This DMF Island being another artificially gated grind, is a state-of-the-art proof to my argument.
Criers continue to cry, lawyers on with your advocation and ignorers, words are lost on you either way...

I predict a new "Darkmoon Island" reputation. Because blizzard do not work on old reps anyway. Cenarion Circle? Cenarion Expedition next expansion. Argent Dawn? Argent Crusade next expansion.
Is it wrong that I read this entire post in the voice of Ivan Ooze? I think not...
Ony and Naxx ... Good thing those weren't recycled.
Also you don't have to use transmog its for people who like the look of the old gear its not like they aren't adding new gear.
I never say this because its usually BS but seriously if you don't like the game stop playing and stop looking at websites about the game that you supposedly hate.

Cant wait for the Darkmoon death match!
Oh and ALL my toons shall be participating in the DEATHMATCH! Wooooo! Free rare items just by beating people up? I am totally there!
Clearly you are "LEET HARDCORE RAIDAR" which means you only appreciate your end game content. Thank god, you are not the only kind of player in WoW. Hard to believe, I know. And, Ragnaros, the same? LOL. 6/7H? That statement alone seems to point to "hasn't got a character past level 40".
Oh look! More recycled content! Cataclysm is now more of a necro-expansion figuratively speaking then Wrath was literally speaking!Look, I know people are going to enjoy this, and that's great. I'm glad people are going to get something out of the second coming of the Darkmoon. But that doesn't change the fact that it's still just the Darkmoon faire, updated. It's not a new idea. I did this the first time it came out, like I did most everything else they've brought back this expansion. Also, people getting angry at the naysayers have to understand that this isn't going to be everyones cup of tea.It just sounds to me like they tossed as many cool ideas as they could into the faire ((Dancing bears! Fez wearing monkies! Old armor sets for our NEW transmogrifying! GURUBASHI 2.0!)) in an attempt to catch peoples attention and to try to slow the hemorraghing subs.
Two things you didn't have to do, you wanted to do molten front to help your friend and you wanted to do Tol Barad. i didn't do Tol Barad did i miss something? NOPEWell, I'm sure as hell it will be a big ass grind with some gimmicks to keep people hooked, that's what blizzard always does. Then again, not because there are new dailies and whatnot it means you HAVE to do them. For instance, I only got the blacksmith patterns because a friend needed them, to never set a foot on the molten front, and don't even get me started on Tol Barad.
They were both optional just like this is.
Blizzard: We give you more bosses. And more bosses! And more Bosses.
Non-raidres: Man this game sucks. Thats not content.
Raiders: Shut the fuck up and get out of our game.
Blizzard is doing a great job creating content for all. They even added a pvp deathmatch pit. Still pvp players can use a lot more love. Stop forcing your idea of fun and content on other people. Theres more to this than just pets and old armors sets. Just like theirs more to raiding than gear.

|Dave Schappell Idea of the Day
While I was on vacation, I had this idea. Maybe it already exists. But, if not, maybe one of you can build it and/or work on it at a Startup Weekend, or build a real business around it.
Feel free to ask clarifying questions and/or propose alternatives.
Idea: Email-Initiated and -Processed Discussions (that post straight to the web)
Scenario: I have a question that I'd like to get answered. I e-mail several people, and probably get a reply. However, it would be nice if that question (and the answers/discussions) posted directly to a webpage/service, where others could benefit (without requiring anyone to visit a website and/or register, if they don't want to). Or, they could e-mail a private reply. Or, they could visit the site and interact there, if they'd like. The idea is to give Disqus-like e-mail superpowers to recipients, to make it so much easier to post and share their knowledge.
So, what do you think?

When you purchase a new vehicle from Gezon Nissan, it will come with a factory warranty. However, the factory warranty only last for a certain number of miles or certain amount of time. If you buy a used car, it may not come with a factory warranty. A vehicle service contract, oftentimes referred to as an Nissan Extended auto warranty, affords you the ability to extend coverage past the the original factory warranty of the vehicle. Often times an extended auto warranty can also compliment a factory warranty by providing additional features and benefits like trip interruption and roadside assistance during the original warranty. While an extended warranty has a fee and is never free like a standard factory warranty, it can provide the assurance similar to the car warranty the vehicle had when new.
When you are shopping around for an Nissan extended warranty , or vehicle service contract, there are two types of warranties that you may come across: factory backed extended warranty and aftermarket warranty. For many consumers, they might think they are getting a factory backed warranty, but instead get an aftermarket warranty. They are similar in many ways, but they differ in certain ways too. Listed below are a comparison of the two that will make you more informed as a consumer.
Factory Backed Extended Warranty
A factory backed extended warranty is exactly what it sounds like; it is an extended warranty that is backed by the manufacturer of the vehicle. These warranties can cover a variety of components. They offer options for how little or how much coverage you need. You can get the basic powertrain warranty that covers the engine, drive system, and transmission or you can go all out and get the comprehensive cover most components of your car. The range in coverage varies depending upon the manufacturer, the company selling the warranty, and the coverage levels. Plus, many factory backed extended auto warranties offer benefits such as roadside assistance, alternate transportation and trip interruption. They can be purchased through a local dealership or through direct marketers.
Aftermarket Car Warranty
An aftermarket warranty can often offer the same coverage as a factory backed extended warranty. They can even offer the same added benefits than those of a factory backed plan, but you need to be careful when reviewing the actual vehicle service contract for the specific coverage the plan offers. Since aftermarket warranties are offer by warranty administrators and the not manufacturer of the vehicle, be sure to ask our professional staff to review the key differences in plans before your purchase.
What is not covered
While every extended auto warranty is different, they very similar items that are not covered by the terms and conditions of the agreement. Here are some items that are not covered:
- Environmental: damages, failures or corrosion from stone chipping, chemical fallout (acid rain), tree sap, salt, hail, windstorm, lightning, flood, road hazards, acts of god, or other environmental condition.
- Maintenance: damages or failures caused by improper maintenance of the vehicle as recommended by the Manufacturer of the vehicle. Maintenance is not covered.
- Wear and Tear: normal or excessive wear and tear to include dents, dings, chips, scratches, cracking, splitting. (some extended warranties cover wear and tear. Check your service contract agreement for details)
- Alterations: damages, failures or corrosion from tampering, improper replacement components, alterations or modifications of existing components, improper repair.
- Negligence: damages, failures or corrosion from accident, theft, fire, driving through water, objects striking the vehicle, glass breakage (unless from defect or workmanship), misuse, racing, improper or contaminated fuels or lubricants.
This is not, by all means, a complete listing of the items that could be excluded from your extended warranty. Make sure you look at your service agreement that accompanied your extended warranty. Either way, please do read the fine print to fully understand was is provided by the warranty.
Gezon Nissan wants to make sure that your are protected from unseen repair cost. To learn more about an Nissan Extended Warranty, just fill out the form below and one of our warranty specialist will be in touch with you.

->''"Fillet of a fenny snake,\\
In the cauldron boil and bake;\\
Eye of newt and toe of frog,\\
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,\\
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,\\
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,\\
For a charm of powerful trouble, \\
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."''
-->-- '''The Three Witches''', ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}''
The [[SpellConstruction material (or immaterial) component]] you [[RitualMagic need to call forth a spell]] or activate a superpower. It's not as simple as just spending {{Mana}}, though. You may need to burn a pinch of sulphur, or to sacrifice the soul of your first born child. Either way, you've got to pay the price before you can throw lightning from your fingertips. If the value of what's sacrificed ''has'' to equal the value of what's gained, it's EquivalentExchange.
These components usually fall into one of the following categories, with some overlap:
* Symbolic items--wedding rings, grave dirt, a pure red rose. Some materials, such as gold and silver, carry heavy symbolic value all by themselves.
* [[SympatheticMagic Items related to your intended victim, recipient or yourself]]--articles of clothing, treasured trinkets, personal effects, hair, baby teeth, fingernail clippings, fingers, urine samples, blood, etc.
* Body parts from exotic creatures--sometimes from creatures that don't actually have those body parts (hen's teeth). The more magical the creature the better. A unicorn's horn beats a crocodile's liver, but the blood of a god is better still. Doubly so if [[BodyToJewel it has crystallized]]. Upping the danger, the creature is sometimes a MonsterLord.
* Certain plants--again, some are more potent than others. Plants traditionally associated with magic (wolfsbane, nightshade, mandrake, etc) outrank the common blade of grass.
* Inorganic substances--certain types of rocks, minerals, metals, etc. May have to come from a specific place (e.g. dust from a graveyard or water from the river Styx).
* [[InsubstantialIngredients Non-physical components]]--bottled moonlight or the sound of a cat's footsteps.
* Items with improbably specific requirements--an unripe Sunset Wonder picked 3 minutes before noon on the first frosty day in the autumn and peeled left-handedly using a silver knife with a blade less than half an inch wide.
* Perishable or fragile items--these are usually put into creating an improbably durable object, such as a gown of cobweb or a necklace of dewdrops. (Which [[CelestialDeadline may expire without notice, and very suddenly]].)
* Reusable items--equipment for mixing the ingredients or casting the spell, like a MagicCauldron or a MagicWand. Could be as simple as a bowl and spoon, or as complex as an entire alchemical laboratory.
BlackMagic often requires [[PoweredByAForsakenChild ingredients]] that are a MoralEventHorizon just to collect.
Sometimes this trope is used to justify PlotCoupons as necessary ingredients. Can result in a GottaCatchEmAll plot if one spell calls for several items. Improbably specific requirements can be used to set up {{impossible task}}s. If one of the 'ingredients' happens to be the caster's immortal soul, then it's a DealWithTheDevil.
A subtrope of FunctionalMagic, and one part of SpellConstruction. Compare with the [[MagicalIncantation actual words of the spell]], and associated {{Magical Gesture}}s. Compare also InsertPaymentToUse.
Not related in any manner whatsoever, to the former Speaker of the US House of Representatives. Incidentally, "eye of newt" is actually a historic term for mustard seed, although (as evidenced by Shakespeare) confusing the term for the eyes of literal amphibian newts is a very old mistake.
[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]
* In the ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' manga sometimes spell components are needed by the magic users, for example, Happosai needed the tears of a creature both male and female for a rejuvenation potion.
** Happens once or twice in the anime, too. In "The Last Days of Happosai...?", [[LethalChef Akane Tendo]] tries to prepare a magical elixir that will revitalize the dying pervert- it's implied her usual lack of skill in the kitchen is the source of the potion's nauseating stink, which eventually renders all of the others in the house bedridden with sickness. Eye of newt and toe of frog are even actual ingredients.
* In ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'', one member of a trio of witch-wannabes drinks a LovePotion and accidentally sees Onizuka first. They try to use black magic to negate the power of the spell. Ingredients include bat wings (procured from the science department), toad warts (ditto), and ''Onizuka's pubic hair'' (uh...).
[[folder: Comics]]
* All Getafix will reveal to ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' about the ingredients of the [[SuperSerum magic potion]] is that it contains mistletoe harvested with a golden sickle and lobster. The lobster is optional, but it improves the flavour. A few other ingredients are revealed through plot contrivance - such as a tiny drop of "rock oil" (petroleum), although [[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic through research it is determined that it]] can be substituted with beetroot juice which has the exact same effect, is easier to get and doesn't taste as bad, and "reasonably fresh fish". It's implied that in so far as its chemistry goes it's really just a mediocre vegetable soup, albeit with added magic effects. Several times its obscure ingredients are used as PlotCoupons, such as in ''The Black Gold'', ''The Great Crossing'', and ''Asterix in Switzerland'' (although that was for [[FlowerFromTheMountaintop an ingredient]] needed to brew an antidote for a poison).
[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* In ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'', Marigold made Phoebe a tiara [[http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2015/06/20 of morning dew and moonbeams.]]
[[folder:Fan Works]]
* The Trope is Lampshaded in ''Fanfic/ShadowchasersTorment''. After Raviel breaks out of prison, the Chicago Shadowchasers follow her to her palace, then become separated. When Nichole finds her laboratory, she finds a lot of weird ingredients on the shelves like "zombie mold", "viper tree fangs", and "troll warts". Eventually she says "Lovely All that's missing here is the eye of newt " Then she's interrupted by Raviel's henchman Belger (who may have been watching her for a while) who says, "It vent bad. Ve had to throw it avay. You use bad eye of newt, you ruin zee whole brew."
* The twins in ''Film/DoubleDoubleToilAndTrouble'' overhear a group of witches discussing their methods to brewing potions. One of the witches can be heard asking another if she uses a microwave.
* You know that song the choir's singing near the beginning of ''Film/HarryPotter and the Prisoner of Azkaban''? Taken directly from [[TheScottishTrope The Scottish Play]]. "In the cauldron boil and bake fillet of a fenny snake..." and of course the inevitable [[InadvertentEntranceCue something wicked this way comes]] finish.
* The film ''Film/HocusPocus'' uses this trope when the witches produce the potion that enables them to absorb the life force from the children.
* Parodied in the movie ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'', where Latrine is apparently putting together a scrying spell with all sorts of gooey ingredients, including "eyeballs of a crocodile". A moment later we learn she's not a witch at all; [[{{Squick}} she's the cook]].
* ''Film/{{Warlock}}'' used the body fat of a non-baptised child as a levitation potion. Baptise your children, people!
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' magicians sometimes need components to [[EquivalentExchange make sure their spells work within the laws of physics]]. When teleporting, for example, an equal mass is usually displaced from wherever the wizard plans to get to.
** We often see witch spells requiring ingredients, such as in ''Discworld/WyrdSisters'', a direct sendup of ''Macbeth'' which contains a scene parodying the above quote. Granny Weatherwax, for example, complains about using up a "tiger's chaudron" that "looks like perfectly good chitterlin's ... there's hungry children in Klatch who wouldn't turn up their noses at it." And tongue of boot.
** Furthermore, the cottage Magrat lives in used to belong to a "[[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic research witch]]", who asked questions like "it's all very nice to say 'eye of newt', but what ''species'' of newt? And would it still work if you substituted something less icky?" and wrote all her research down in dozens of volumes. (Turns out it works, though: Magrat later uses one such carefully defined spell to find out her boyfriend's first name. She starts working on a love spell too, but plot intervenes before she completes it.)
** When it comes to magical ingredients, wizards can be divided into the ones who perform the Rite of [=AshkEnte=] with two bits of wood and a fresh egg, or the ones who know you ''can'' do that, but it's not ''proper'' magic unless you're using lots of skulls, ram's horns and dribbly candles.
* In the ''Literature/YoungWizards'' series many spells ''used'' to require hard to find physical components, but as successive generations of wizards improved the spells the components were changed to easier to find substitutes, and eventually the spells were perfected to the point where they needed no components at all. The modern-day characters which the series follows only rarely have to cast a spell which requires any sort of physical component.
* In the book ''Literature/ThePrincessBride'' we are told that they had to search for strange components before Miracle Max could do a miracle, but we aren't shown it because it would take too long.
* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''TheWitcher'' -wizards do display impressive collections of mysterious ingredients all over their labs and everyone knows stories about elixirs made of "blood of virgin killed by bolt of lightning on a cloudless night". It turns that mudane replacements works as well, but wizards encourage gossips since it keeps smallfolk away from carrying on their own experiments.
* Ingredients in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' potions include a bezoar and bicorn horn, and the brewing of Polyjuice Potion involved particular parts of a lunar cycle.
** The spell that resurrected Voldemort in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'' required "bone of the father, unwillingly given" (Voldemort's father's bone, stolen from the grave), "flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed" (Wormtail cut off his own hand), and "blood of the enemy, forcibly taken" (cut from Harry's cheek).
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' sometimes uses non-physical components gathered under specific conditions. E.g Harry had to be truly happy in order to gather sunlight into a handkerchief.
** Potions specifically need 8 ingredients. A base liquid, one for each sense as well as the spirit and the mind. A love potion, for example used tequila as a base, money for the mind, chocolate for taste, perfume for smell, lace for touch, a sigh for sound, candlelight for sight, and the ashes of a romance novel for spirit (though it probably would have worked a little less ''sleazily'' if they hadn't used substitutes for the original base, mind and spirit ingredients - champagne, powdered diamond and the ashes of a love letter.)
** Ordinary magic can be done without physical ingredients or foci, but no-one does it that way. You can just create the things you need in your mind, but if your mental image slips just a little, your spell will fail. Trying to do it that way, rather than with a physical object, is much more difficult and makes no difference in effect, so no-one bothers unless the midden hath hit the windmill, big time.
* In ''Literature/TheLegendsOfEthshar'' series, Ethsharian wizardry uses ingredient like this - a raindrop caught in midair, the blood of an unborn child.
* One of the characters in ''Literature/IronCouncil'' is a monk from a special order that discovers secrets. To do so, however, the monk has to sacrifice one of his/her own memories or abilities each time he digs up new info.
* In ''Literature/TheNeverendingStory'', Bastian discovers that every time he uses his amulet to "change" things, he sacrifices one of his own memories. Eventually, he develops full amnesia. [[spoiler:He gets better.]]
* In ''Literature/DreamOfTheRedChamber'', Precious Virtue's Cold Perfume Pill has a vast list of peculiar ingredients which are so rare they can only make a batch every twenty years or something.
* In the ''Literature/EnchantedForestChronicles'', Cimorene searches in vain for months to find some hen's teeth so that she can complete a spell to protect her against fire (she's employed by dragons). She eventually has to get them from a genie.
* A couple of books from ''Literature/KushielsLegacy'' use this trope; the end of the first series ('Kushiel's Avatar' I believe) has the bone-priests that [[spoiler: only get their power by sacrificing someone that they love. The Mharkagir tries this with Phedre but she kills him instead; [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail and there was much rejoicing.]]]]. 'Kushiel's Mercy' (end of the second series) has Carthage trying to take over Terre D'Ange with some pretty involved magic. The stone trapping the elemental has some pretty icky requirements ([[spoiler: infanticide being the big one]]) and the needle that afflicts Imriel with madness (and thus saves him from the bigger spell the Carthaginians are casting) requires toad-bile, lunatic sweat and being left in the light of the full moon (and NOT being in any other light) for a full month. Wonder what the process was for finding all that out.
* In Creator/RobertEHoward's Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian story "Literature/AWitchShallBeBorn" the title witch does not want this kind of magic.
-->''I could never endure to seclude myself in a golden tower, and spend the long hours staring into a crystal globe, mumbling over incantations written on serpent's skin in the {{blood|Magic}} of {{virgin|Power}}s, poring over musty volumes in forgotten languages.''
** In "Literature/TheTowerOfTheElephant", the rope
-->''It was woven from the tresses of dead women, which I took from [[GraveRobbing their tombs]] at [[WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve midnight]], and steeped in the deadly wine of the upas tree, to give it strength.''
** In "Literature/ThePeopleOfTheBlackCircle," they needed the king's hair.
-->''All discarded portions of the human body still remain part of it, attached to it by intangible connections. The priests of Asura have a dim inkling of this truth, and so all nail trimmings, hair and other waste products of the persons of the royal family are carefully reduced to ashes and the ashes hidden. But at the urgent entreaty of the princess of Khosala, who loved Bhunda Chand vainly, he gave her a lock of his long black hair as a token of remembrance. When my masters decided upon his doom, the lock, in its golden, jewel-encrusted case, was stolen from under her pillow while she slept, and another substituted, so like the first that she never knew the difference. Then the genuine lock travelled by camel caravan up the long, long road to Peshkhauri, thence up the Zhaibar Pass, until it reached the hands of those for whom it was intended.''
* In ''The Patchwork Girl of Oz'', one of Creator/LFrankBaum's [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz books]], Ojo is collecting the ingredients to restore people from [[TakenForGranite statues]]. He is arrested for collecting a six-leafed clover; Ozma made it illegal to collect such ingredients because people refused to obey her anti-magic law. Later, he finds the hardest -- a drop of oil from a living man -- which is from the Tin Woodman. Alas, he also needs the left wing of a yellow butterfly, and the Tin Woodman refuses to allow a butterfly to be harmed for the spell. Luckily, Glinda the Good doesn't need these ingredients.
* In L. Jagi Lamplighter's ''Literature/ProsperosDaughter'' trilogy, phoenix lamps, lit by phoenix feathers, and the Water of Life, retrieved from a well at the edge of world, are the first of many, many, many such items.
* In ''Literature/WarOfTheDreaming'' by Creator/JohnCWright, magicians use symbolic objects to compel obedience from the spirits who respond to them--such as moon rocks from the Apollo missions.
* Played for comedy in A. Glushanovskiy's ''Road to Mage'', first novel of the ''Way of the Demon'' series. Oleg, the protagonist, found a spell to detect precious metals underground and already thought of using substitutes for a "dragon's vertebra" - a dinosaur's vertebra from a museum, and for "river-horse hair" - a hair of a tame hippopotamus from the zoo. But he's out of ideas to obtain or substitute "lock of hair from a chaste actress", "spit of a truthful lawyer" and "blood of a honest secretary of state".
* [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka's creations]] aren't magic so much as [[MadScientist mad science]] in action, but in the sequel ''Literature/CharlieAndTheGreatGlassElevator'', the FountainOfYouth pill Wonka-Vite and its Vita-Wonk RapidAging counterpart are both made primarily or entirely of such ingredients, some of which are [[InsubstantialIngredients insubstantial]] ("the hip (and the po and the pot) of a hippopotamus", for instance). Vita-Wonk is made entirely from bits of the oldest animals and trees known to man because they can "create age".
* In another Creator/RoaldDahl book, ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'', there's the formula that created the titular giant peach and the enormous insects that lived in the peach's pit:
-->"One thousand long, slimy crocodile tongues boiled in the skull of a dead witch for 40 days and 40 nights. Add the gizard of a pig, the fingers of a young monkey, the beak of a parrot and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking three spoonfuls of sugar]], and then let the moon do the rest."
* In [[Creator/HGWells Herbert Wells's]] ''[[http://www.sff.net/people/doylemacdonald/l_pyecra.htm The Truth About Pyecraft]]'' the narrator gives the titular character an Indian magic recipe to loose weight and instructs him on some basic principles:
-->I ran my eye over the [list of] items. "Was the egg addled?" I asked.
-->"No. Ought it have been?"
-->"That," I said, "goes without saying in all my poor dear great-grandmother's recipes. When condition or quality is not specified you must get the worst. She was drastic or nothing..."
* In ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'', you have to have a gemstone of the appropriate type to perform Soulcasting. So if you want to turn someone into glass, you'd need a diamond. To turn him to stone, you need topaz. Notably, this even applies to Radiant Soulcasting, despite Radiant powers not usually having material components.
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* ''Buffyverse'':
** Obligatory ''Series/{{Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}'' mention. Various ritual spells require various components, some even require the EyeOfNewt. Although according to the resident witch, eye of frog is cheaper. Really, you're just paying for the brand name. Giles also considers salamander eyes equally effective.
** In ''Series/{{Angel}}'' Wesley is analyzing a FantasticDrug which has PCP-like effects on demons, and mentions that Eye of Newt has been added to improve the taste rather than the kick.
* Potion ingredients are the [[PlotCoupon plot coupons]] in ''Series/TheLegendOfDickAndDom''; to cure their kingdom from plague, they need to collect two seasons' worth of ingredients like a dragon's [[BizarreAlienBiology clack]], the mists of time, baby vampire vomit, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a pint of milk]].
* In ''Series/{{Charmed}}'', potions sometimes require these, but good ones usually use more benign herbs.
* In ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', many rituals and spells require a list of items, such as the photo of the summoner, graveyard dirt, yarrow, and bone of a black cat, required to summon a crossroad demon.
* On ''Series/GoodEats'', Alton explains how the image of pasta sauce simmering on the stove (stirred lovingly by a mom or [[GrannyClassic grandma]]) can be a reminder of home and hearth for some...and for others, it brings to mind images of witches and cauldrons. The witch throws in snakes, spiders, etc., while the loving grandmother throws in spices, in an EscalatingWar, until Alton informs both women that he cooks alone.
* In ''TheBeverlyHillbillies'' Granny is frequently making concoctions like this, brought up by name when the Clampetts visit London and Granny goes to a pharmacy for ingredients. When she mentions Eye of Newt by name, the Pharmacist mistakes her for a fellow Shakespeare fan and wows her with quoting the bard,
[[folder: Music]]
* Stormwitch song "Stronger Than Heaven" begins with a listing of various magical ingredients.
-->Mandrakes, three black feathers
-->Dried up toads and rats
-->Spiders, human leather
-->Eyes and wings of bats
[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]
* Largely [[AvertedTrope averted]] for spells in ''TabletopGame/ArsMagica''.
** A standard spell does not require any components.
** All ritual spells consume vis in order to power the magic. A spell has to be a ritual spell if lasts more than a month, effects an area that is large enough to qualify as a boundary, or a similar target, if it creates something permanently, or if it simply past a certain level.
** The one time non-ritual spells need a physical component is when it is meant to be cast on someone or something that is not within the caster's senses. This type of component is an arcane connection. It also helps to overcome magic resistance. Again, the item is not consumed.
** One supplement introduces potent spells that require certain materials to cast a spell. If the caster does not have the material, the spell cannot be cast, but if he or she does have the material, then it grants a bonus to the casting total. The item is still not consumed, however.
** When making devices that can work magic, the material of the item is considered in determining how much magic it can hold and sometimes provides a bonus to the magus instilling it with magic.
** Verditius magi create a casting tool when they learn a new formulaic spell. They must use this tool to cast the spell. If it is lost or destroyed, they must spend the time to make another tool for the spell. The tool itself is not consumed in the casting.
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': Spellcasting in many versions (D&D 1e, AD&D 2e, and D&D Third Edition) require use of material components. For standard spells, like ''fireball'', this requires something trivial and commonplace (like bat guano and sulfur rolled into a ball). Spells that are particularly powerful or create more permanent effects, such as Raise Dead, can require expensive components, limiting the number of times you can conveniently use them. Depending on how anal retentive the DM is, players might not be expected to keep track of mundane spell components. For those that do, the feat Eschew Materials and prestige classe Runecaster allow players to cast spells without maintaining a laundry list of spell components.
** 5th edition allows magic users to ignore non-valuable material components, either by using a component pouch (which is assumed to contain the various required components) or a spellcasting focus such as a magic wand or a holy symbol.
* Similarly, material components, while not ''needed'' for most spells in ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'', did provide a (generally trivial but) much appreciated bonus to your spellcasting attempt.
* In ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'' extended spellcastings are made easier by the sacrifice of a 'sacrament'; an item metaphorically relevant to the spell being cast (for example, burning a map to create a portal).
** Also, for Archmasters to cast an Imperial (i.e. godlike) spell, they require a 'Quintessence', a metaphorical component, such as an ingredient or event.
** "Gross matter", substances which can be imprinted with magic (effectively making potions) can only be manufactured by gathering materials thematically relevant for the kind of gross matter you are trying to make (different kinds can be imprinted with different spells; for example, spells that affect perception need to be imprinted into eye drops), before using a spell to transform it.
* In ''Urban Arcana'', the modern day DungeonPunk variant for TabletopGame/D20Modern, a special variant of spellcasting called "Incantations" are available. These Incantations are lengthy yet powerful procedures that require materials appropriate to the spell in question. For instance, demon summoning would likely require a virgin sacrifice and an obsidian knife, whereas the consecration of a building would require holy water and a recitation of prayer.
** Also, ordinary spells might still require material components, such as a can of soda to make people go faster and the CTRL ALT and DEL keys from a keybord to shut down any electric device in a given radius.
* Ritual magick in ''TabletopGame/UnknownArmies'' has this as its great drawback. Rituals may need anything from a scratched brass doorknob to [[EyeScream your own eyeball]] to "acres and acres of burning tires".
* ''[[TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} GURPS Magic]]'' mostly handwaves these away: most spells require some sort of unspecified material components, but wizards usually have what they need on hand. The GameMaster is advised to elaborate on this if a shortage of a component would help [[GameBreaker curb abuse of a problematic spell]], or just provide plot hooks. ''[=GURPS=] Thaumatology'' provides optional elaboration on this, and its alternate magic systems go into detail about the use of material components in folklore and fiction.
* In TabletopGame/ChangelingTheLost, hedgespun items are created in and using components taken from the Hedge. These can include the relatively simple, such as vines or shells, or the complex, such as refined metals, but every ingredient needs to have some sort of story behind it, one through which the players take their characters in the process of gathering said components.
* The TropeNamer comes from the witches song in ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}''.
* The Witch in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' says she can lift the curse on the Baker if he brings her several items: the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold. Each of these items, of course, comes from one of the other fairy tales being told.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
** A staple of the series is its complex [[AlchemyIsMagic Alchemy]] system. Alchemy is a magically classed skill portrayed as a type of scientific magic; when you [[ItemCrafting Item Craft]] potions, you're distilling the ingredients (using a mortar and pestle, retort, etc). However you appear to be extracting the "magic" from them rather than more mundane chemical compounds (some of the in-universe literature even uses this to justify the HealthFood trope; [[ExtremeOmnivore chewing certain ingredients]] releases their basic properties, but not as well as properly mixing them would).
** The Cult of the Ancestor Moth is an Imperial cult based around divining the information contained within the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Elder Scrolls]], using a ritual known as the Ritual of the Ancestor Moth, at the eventual cost of their sight. By tradition, the members of the Cult are the only ones allowed to possess and read the Elder Scrolls themselves. They receive extensive protective training (in the form of an ancient ritual) to safeguard their bodies and minds against the power of the Scrolls, [[TooMuchForManToHandle but even then]], repeated readings will eventually strike them [[BlindSeer permanently blind]].
* According to [[VideoGame/WarioWare Ashley's]] theme, an eye of newt is a component of one of her favorite hexes.
** And Grandma's wig and kitten's spit!
* {{Ninja}}s in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' require ninja tools to perform their ninjutsu spells. The sheer amount of tools used to [[StoneWall tank]] (No, Really), as well as the cost of the other tools make Ninja one of the most expensive jobs in the game.
** Likewise, Corsairs need elemental cards to fire elemental blasts from their guns.
* The first three ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' games had rituals with elaborate requirements for each spell, but they were AllThereInTheManual. ''VideoGame/UltimaIV'' had you manually mixing up spells out of each reagent, typing incantations in the game's {{Fictionary}}, and then binding them with a small sacrifice of mana for later casting (with more mana.) Later games kept the reagent system, but did the rituals for you automatically.
* This is how magic works in ''VideoGame/TheSims 2''. Spells are fueled by objects called reagents that you can either buy or make for free, though making them takes time. Good spells are made with good reagents, such as dragon scales willingly given by an elder dragon, and evil spells are fueled by evil reagents, such as literal EyeOfNewt made by..well take a guess. This is InformedAbility and AllThereInTheManual, all the sim actually does is stir a cauldron to create the reagents.
* In ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIII'', Gwydion has to gather the ingredients from throughout the realm and use them to cast spells, all while fearing that his wizard master may return and smite him. This worked out nicely in the context of an adventure game, where [[KleptomaniacHero manipulating items]] is always a core ingredient.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''.
** All you mages know ''exactly'' what I'm talking about. "What? You told me to port to Stormwind! Bah, alright, I'll come to Darnassus, ''but you're gonna pay for the reagents!'' This costs money, ya know!"
** All caster classes have a few spells that require physical components; mages' portals are simply the most well-known. Most other ones can bypass this if the character has the appropriate Glyph.
** The Northend daily quest "Alchemist Apprentice" involves helping the troll alchemist [[ShoutOut Professor]] [[Film/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Finklestein]] make a truth serum, with ingredients that range from normal-sounding (like Icecrown Bottled Water) to unusual (Raptor Claw and Pickled Eagle Egg) to bizarre (Hairy Herring Heads??) to just plain gross (Putrid Pirate Perspiration and Crystallized Hog Snot??).
* All of the magic in ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore'' revolves around alchemy formulas which each require different regents.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Albion}}'', one of your party's spellcasters requires a special seed to be thrown at target. You buy these or pick from bushes occurring occasionally in wilderness.
* One of the ways you can gain more magic in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' is by refining VendorTrash into usable spells via a special ability.
* A potion in ''VideoGame/AVampyreStory'' requires a nightshade blossom, a gargoyle's breath, a virgin's bone, and a literal eye of newt. The first three she manages to scrounge up, but it's the middle of winter, meaning no newts. So she uses the eye from a picture of a newt in a coloring book. This works perfectly.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has lots of odd ingredients for spells, though baby blue dragon scales, limpwurt roots, white berries, snape grass, red spiders' eggs, and (what else?) the eye of newt are some of the body parts necessary for potions. Then you get the Rag and Bone Man, who asks for some really strange bones. Shoulder bone of a of giant? Tail bones from nine kinds of dragon? Pelvis of a four-legged, magic-casting water creature that dwells in caves? Fibula bone of the third leg on an '''adult''' three-legged creature? He wants them all and more. [[spoiler:He serves an EldritchAbomination that wants to rebuild itself with all the bones. {{Squick}}.]]
* Shows up twice in ''VideoGame/PinkPantherHokusPokusPink'' for 2 different potions:
** The first potion, to turn Violet into a immortal magical ninja princess mermaid, requires The only thing living in the saltiest sea, and a Princely laugh, specifically the hugest one that has a chilly past. The magic book does not specify what is needed for the Ninja part, so Pink improvises by adding a black belt to the cauldron.
** The second potion to counter the effects of the poisonous apple requires The carrier of the human soul and A redheads woeful plea. When the potion fails to work, Pink again improvises, this time by adding some Greek salad.
* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' some spells from the Book of E-Ville require certain physical components.
** Gwynn [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060602 found a spell]] to cure [[BlindWithoutEm her eyesight]] that required "parts" from some monkeys. She bought the monkeys, but couldn't go through with the spell, keeping them as pets instead. [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060604 Much]] [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060625 hilarity]] [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060626 proceeded]] [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060723 to]] [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=061208 ensue]].
** Another spell to open a dimensional portal required candles, drops of blood in a chalice, and a chicken quite specifically ''not'' [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/080603 set on fire]].
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4365 you need eye of newt and toe of frog for a drink: one flaming witch's brew.]]
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081205#.VfGi6_lViko This scene]] from their version of ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}'':
-->'''Agatha''': Geez, you had your toad eyes slotted into your newt eye grid, and that was throwing off the aetheric vibrations. Amazing it worked at all, really.
[[folder: Web Original ]]
* The dark magic that Hekate does in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse, like her spell in "It's All In The Timing", is exactly this trope.
* [[http://hellej.elfwood.com/Theres-a-Fly-In-It-.2795145.html This picture]] by Helle Jorgensen reminds witches: take necessary steps to prevent possible contamination by unintended components.
* Some magic in ''Literature/{{Phaeton}}'' requires this, also in a literal sense of the words, Teliha finds Eye of Newt to be a tasty snack and often eats it all before it can be used for magic.
* Taken to a rather [[BlackComedy dark]] extreme in ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' with "Pinkie's Brew"; the "eye of a Newt" turns out to be from the foal Newt Pippington British-hooves.
* In the universe of ''WebVideo/TalesFromMyDDCampaign'', any long-range teleportation spell requires an "eldritch eye", the eye of a powerful abomination.
* There's a Halloween episode of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' that involves Homestar collecting a variety of ingredients for a "witch's brew." Depending upon the choices of the viewer/player, these can involve stank water, essence of doo doo meringue, and powdered Thanksgiving. And Bubs directly references this trope when he says "A little eye of newt, some toe of frog. Baby you got a witch's brew goin'."
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' dealing with a {{Jiangshi}} had what's probably a parody of the third type - to permanently banish the hopping corpse, Jackie and colleagues were required to take a toadstool from a graveyard, place it in the Jiangshi's own left sock (which, of course, it wasn't about to just hand them), and throw the sock into a river.
** That's not a parody, people actually believed that, though usually the sock was filled with rocks or soil from the vampire's grave. And yes, Chinese vampires hop.
** A lot of Uncle's spells in general follow this theme where certain items are needed. The animal location spells each required an item going along with that animal.
*** There's also those dead blow fish and lizards he uses quite often.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' has Fu Dog using Eye of Newt simply because it's used in so many potions.
* In a Halloween episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Patty and Selma are witches, cooking the classic recipe...
-->"Needs more eye of newt."
-->"You always want more eye of newt. If it were up to you, the soup would be nothing but Newt Eyes!"
* In the DonaldDuck cartoon "[[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Trick or Treat"]] Huey, Dewey and Louie enlist the help of a witch to get back at Donald for pranking them. She whips up a potion with quotations from ''Macbeth'', and partway through she leans over to the nephews and says "This is the real stuff, you know. Right out of Shakespeare."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''
** In "Spell-Bound" (which was, incidentally, the first half-hour episode starring Pinky and the Brain exclusively) the first four ingredients for Brain's Take Over the World Spell are six lizard legs, two eyes of newt, two hedgehog spleens, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking one half-eaten gingerbread cookie thats been left on the counter overnight.]] (Getting the final ingredient, a red dragon toenail clipping, is the main plot.)
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3e2pGHyG8A this short]], Yakko provides his own, uh, ''unique'' interpretation of the original witches recipe, provided for viewers who - like himself and the three characters depicting the witches - have ''no'' idea what it means.
[[folder: Real Life ]]
* Hoodoo folk magic is made of this trope. Components can include (but are by no means limited to) red brick dust, graveyard dirt (perferrably from the grave of a soldier or a child. Or, for best results, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs a]] ChildSoldier), coffin nails, dried bat hearts, and raccoon penis bones, not to mention various bodily fluids. Much of the lore comes down from rural areas in the 1930's, when such ingredients were much easier to obtain than they would be today (or not: a random Google search can and will turn up various shops selling such items online, many disturbingly authentic).
** Researching hoodoo folklore, ZoraNealeHurston was told that a bone from a black cat would bestow powers of invisibility on its owner. Hurston claimed to have participated in a ritual to obtain the bone, which involved [[spoiler: [[KickTheDog tossing a live cat into a pot of boiling water]], then leaving it to scald until the flesh and bones detached and floated to the surface. After which, the participant had to stand in front of a mirror and place each bone under his/her tongue until he/she vanished. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~ma01/grand-jean/hurston/chapters/hoodoo4.html#6]]

A few days ago a couple of rock climbers ascended the most difficult route up the face of the famous El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. This infamous granite face beauty is an incredible presence but not one I could ever imagine climbing. They took 19 days to do it, actually sleeping on the face of the cliff, hundreds of feet off the ground. A spectacular feat in a spectacular setting.

I recently noticed in an online dictionary that the word "busyness" (as distinct from "business") has developed its own definition: "The quality or condition of being busy." I suppose it has just become universally understood that we are all very busy people. Seemingly regardless of context, vocational, or socioeconomic status – we all have pretty packed, scheduled up lives.
So much so that our language is changing to accommodate our new reality.
When did this happen? I don't think I am romanticizing the past when I say that I feel like I can clearly remember not being this busy in my childhood, high school life, and even college years. I remember having days with large spaces that were open or weekends where one or both days were not in some way committed. I remember when I could go a day or two without opening my calendar to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. Gosh, I can even remember when I didn't need a planner because I could simply remember the commitments I made – and look forward to them –without writing them.
It seems to me that our increased busyness tracks directly with technological advances. For instance, I think of the immediacy with which we can connect with each other.
Previously, if I wanted to have some folks over for a evening gathering, I would have called their home or work phone numbers. If they weren't physically at home or at work, I would have left a message, then waited a day or two for them all to get back to me. All of this I would have had to do a week or more in advance to make sure I could coordinate everyone. In more recent years, I might have done the same over email. But that might have only required a couple of days lead-time to accomplish the same end. Yesterday, I texted folks several hours before we were thinking of gathering, and sure enough everyone arrived at the appointed time and we had a lovely evening together.
While that is a very positive example of how technology has enabled us to connect with one another, it also illustrates some shadow sides to our new capacities.
Technology allows us to do more in less time and to connect with more people over ever-greater distances. But those very significant advantages have correspondingly significant repercussions for our relationship-forming and decision-making capacities.
For instance, because of my ability to connect so efficiently with friends, I put off planning a gathering until the very last day. I recall thinking about the possibility two weeks ago and then again some time last week. Each time I put it off because some other items at work or at home happened to be at hand.
Thinking that there is room for everything – and oftentimes that is legitimately the case thanks to what our technological age facilitates – I prioritize not based on my values but based on efficient use of time. This means that the "what" I do doesn't necessarily change. What changes is the "how" of doing it.
I once heard it said that being Catholic isn't just about doing the right thing. It is about doing the right thing for the right reason. I would like to push that a bit further and say we are about doing the right thing, for the right reason, and in the right way. "How" we do things matters deeply.
That is part of the reason I have been looking forward so much to the summer months with the children home from school. It seems like the ideal time to cultivate intentionally choosing away from "busyness."
My hope is to not only get to be physically at home parenting (the "what"), but also do it in a very specific way (the "how"). I want our days to be routine enough that the children know what to expect from one day to the next — and even be able to look forward to different points in the day. I want the children to feel unhurried. I want them to use both their minds and their bodies during the summer months in a way that feels enjoyable and stimulating — rather than forced or coercive. And I want to participate fully with them in their daily occupations — not just act as a recreational facilitator or activity concierge.
Likely some days will be better than others. But I have a sense that a little bit of unplugging will help create the space to plan accordingly and stay focused on what is most important.

Tim Corbin pictured the moment for a long time. In fact, the Vanderbilt baseball coach had his players practice it.
Back in December, Corbin and the Commodores piled up in celebratory fashion in the infield of Hawkins Field. Vanderbilt hadn't won anything. The Commodores' season opener was two months away.
But Corbin wanted to plant the feeling of winning in his players' heads then so that it would motivate them to put in the work required to reach the stage in which such celebrations are called for.
"We rehearse victory many times during the course of the fall to put a vision in their minds so they can get to this point," Corbin said. "You just envision yourself, you envision those kids celebrating like that."
On Saturday night, the dress rehearsal paid off. The Commodores piled up in jubilant fashion in front of an ecstatic home crowd after their 9-3 victory over Oregon State in a decisive second game of a NCAA Super Regional. The win propelled Vanderbilt into its first College World Series.
It was a Kodak moment for what has been — to this point — a picture perfect season.
The Commodores, seeded sixth nationally, roll into the CWS and Omaha, Neb., with a 52-10 record. They have lost consecutive games only once this season and have won 11 of their last 12. In five NCAA Tournament games — all wins — they have outscored opponents 46-7.
"They certainly earned their way to Omaha," Oregon State coach Pat Casey said late Saturday night.
Impressively, their two victories against Oregon State came just days after 12 Commodores were taken in the Major League Baseball draft — a school and Southeastern Conference record for the most selected in one year. But they didn't seem to be fazed by the draft and the attention that came with it.
"They are a very confident group," Corbin said. "I told them they walk on water but they understand there are rocks underneath the water holding them up. So there is a strong sense of humility too. They don't think they can walk on water. They understand there is a balance there."
They have steamrolled the postseason competition the same way they have all season — with explosive, consistent hitting and nearly untouchable pitching.
Entering this weekend, Vanderbilt ranked sixth in the country in team batting average and third in ERA. After scoring 20 runs and allowing just four in two games against Oregon State, the Commodores are hitting .319 and have an ERA of 2.38. Offensively, they have the potential to knock the ball out of the park.
They have hit 47 home runs, with a team-leading 17 coming from Aaron Westlake, who blasted three in the Super Regional clincher, but a lot of their damage is done by stringing together hits and playing small ball. They rank in the top 15 nationally in total hits (682 in 62 games) and total runs (442). They have successfully placed 60 sacrifice bunts — which rank among the top 40 in the country — and have stolen 78 bases.
As for pitching, VU's three weekend starters — Sonny Gray, Grayson Garvin and Taylor Hill — have combined for a 30-5 record. The bullpen has allowed just one run in 13.1 innings this postseason. Plus, closer Navery Moore (11 saves, 1.21 ERA) hasn't been used since May 28. Defensively, the Commodores are just as sound, committing only 62 errors as they had the fewest in the Southeastern Conference prior to Friday's opener.
"They are very, very locked in," Corbin said. "That is the terminology they've used all year. It is a consistent, consistent group. They haven't backed off and we've talked about it since Aug. 25. I mean it is amazing. We use the dash — Aug. 25 to the final date — and we say the dash is the most important part. Those are the experiences. We wanted that dash to mean something this year."
Reaching the College World Series has been Corbin's goal since he took over the program nine years ago. He got there four times as an assistant coach at Clemson. He quickly made an impact at Vanderbilt when he took the Commodores to their first Super Regional in 2004, his second season. They were ranked No. 1 nationally for most of 2007 but fell short in the regional. Last year, they went as far as any VU team ever had to that point when they won a Super Regional contest against Florida State.
"It is just the frustration of coming close and coming [up] short," Corbin said. "It is one thing to experience success in the regular season. There is another mountain to climb once you get into the postseason. ... It just takes time, it really does. It is not easy. I think what happens is that the kids even try harder once they get close. But I've had these conversations with [my wife] Maggie many times over. We knew that at some point it would break."
Finally, on Saturday, the Commodores broke through. The year has been filled with many accomplishments — individual records, team records, a share of the SEC regular-season championship, totaling 50 wins for just the second time in school history and so on.
But winning the Super Regional and getting to Omaha was the only goal that really mattered. Now that the Commodores are headed to the eight-team, double-elimination tournament, which begins on Saturday, they don't plan on letting up on the gas.
And maybe they can unleash their celebratory pileup on a national stage.
"We are not going to change our routine," Corbin said. "What we've done the entire year works. It stays true for them. They're comfort kids. So they will be fine once we get out there, I'm quite of sure it. Now the competition is pretty good, but we're pretty good too."

Call it the "them and us" strategy. Ever since taking office, David Cameron has sought to justify historic cuts to benefits as a defence of hard-working, hard-pressed "strivers" against the "slackers", as his ministers refer to the long-term jobless. This framing has been crucial in the debate over taking tens of billions out of the annual welfare budget. The polls suggest it has been successful – so far. Vital both to the coalition's viability and to the outcome of the next general election will be how far voters go along with the notion that the benefit cuts are happening only to "them" and not to "us" as well. But starting this week, and increasingly over the second half of this parliament, ministers will have a hard time keeping up an increasingly false distinction.
Monday's changes to child benefit are an excellent case in point. Starting this week, it effectively becomes a means-tested entitlement, as well over a million families with a member earning £50,000 or more lose their child benefit either in full or in part. This, it should be said, is not a "them and us" tactic at all – and that is a large part of the problem. It falls instead under the category of "all in it together", in which the rich are soaked alongside the middle and working classes. This explains why Mr Osborne has been trailing it ever since moving into No 11. Except that opens up two serious and discrete problems.
The first is technical: this change has all the hallmarks of a cock-up. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has blasted it as "incoherent", while senior Conservative MP Ian Liddell-Grainger has previously described the change as "virtually unenforceable". The cut requires high-earning households to declare that they don't want the benefit – or the taxman will claim it back. Parents will have to be absolutely open with each other about how much they are earning, and what they are claiming – which may be a tricky conversation for any couple in a rocky relationship. It also raises the prospect of a shortfall for the Treasury and tens of thousands of unexpected brown envelopes hitting doormats in January 2014.
But the other snag is even larger: ministers cannot claim to be on the side of strivers while also taking their benefits away. The electoral politics of such a tactic do not add up, yet it is hard to see how the coalition, which has set itself the task of taking up to £28bn out of the annual welfare budget, can avoid making the same forced mistake over and over. Simply put, the required cuts are so large that they will require serious pain for previously loyal Tory and Lib Dem voters. When Ed Miliband came up with his appeal to the "squeezed middle", he was criticised for coming up with a term without a precise definition. But as time goes by, the very lack of definition may well prove an electoral boon.

Duke Nukem Forever
The hardest part of reviewing Duke Nukem Forever is knowing where to start – after such an incredibly long gestation period, there was virtually zero chance of the much-delayed game ever delivering on all – or indeed any – of its prolonged hype and the absurd expectations that had built around it. It's a game that floundered in development hell for so long that, at some point, it became a lost cause. But now, after fourteen turbulent and baffling years and with the bitter-sweet taste of retail release on the tip of its tongue, DNF's run-of-the-mill design conventions and bygone attempts at 'attitude' only serve to remind us all that, in the end, the King has actually been de-throned for a long, long time.
To get a good understanding of the general tone in DNF, look no further than the very beginning of the game: the first interaction available to the player is a prompt to hold the right trigger and 'piss' into a toilet urinal. Once Duke has finished his bodily duty and zips up, free reign to walk around the environment can potentially result in picking up a 'turd' from the inside of a nearby toilet (punctuated by the pleasant ding of an achievement unlocking), just as Duke makes some rather candid remarks about doing so. This can all be done within the first thirty seconds of the game – that is, shortly after the sounds of heavy metal guitar and random sound files of explosions greet with all the grace and subtlety of Duke Nukem himself.
Although the '1980s tough guy' trope remains at the forefront of his persona, there is still a distinct charm to Duke's self-referential crudeness. Call it ironic, call it tasteless – it doesn't really matter. Sure, not all the jokes are winners – the freshly-spun jabs at pop culture range from the somewhat recent to the noticeably ancient – and the tactless objectification of women is sewn right into the fabric of the bare-bones story itself. But even still, the uniquely loveable qualities of Duke Nukem as a character never completely went away; he possesses the brand of cringe-worthy panache that occasionally raises a smile in spite of its own dated silliness.
Most of the delights to be found in DNF come about simply by screwing around in the environment. Whilst later events prove less silly by comparison, the first few levels are surprisingly ripe with small creative touches. Whether the Duke is hap-hazardly slinging around a handful of aforementioned faeces or commendably signing an autograph for a young fan, peoples' admiration for Duke is appropriately farcical. In fact, the unanimously positive treatment that Duke Nukem receives from the world's surrounding characters is the missing link that could have bolstered the narrative to even campier heights.
The game itself is less desirable, focusing almost all of its action and brief puzzle sections on mechanics that would maybe have been considered viable several years ago. Half-Life 2's development clearly had some influence on George Brussard and the gang when its style was in vogue: straightforward physics puzzles are a constant in between the Halo-inspired combat, complete with a regenerative 'Ego' shield for health and a strict two weapon limitation. Dismembering a greasy pig up-close with a shotgun is admittedly fun, but it's a violent feat no more satisfying than even the early Soldier of Fortune games; not the mention that the recent Bulletstorm joyfully catered to that specific need with all the requirements expected of a meaty modern day shooter.
Subtantial technical faults are also shamefully abundant: suffering through the lengthy load times is a true test of patience, especially when the level the engine spent so long trying to render is awash with painfully flat textures and jagged, PS2-era geometry. Ridiculously choppy frame-rate is the main offender of all the obvious issues, however, sullying things to a state of unplayability on more than a few occasions during the ten-or-so hours it takes to finish the campaign. It's all rather inexcusable given that Gearbox had deigned to 'clean up' the cutting room floor left in the wake of 3D Realms' disbandment. As linear as they are, levels are also poorly designed, especially where boss battles are concerned. The feeling of being cheated by the game's poorly constructed choke points and serious lack of cover crops up more times than is often tolerable.
Multiplayer offers up a suite of generic modes that scale down the already bland visual fidelity, making for adversarial action that is as lifeless to play as it is to look at. All those great multiplayer memories from Duke Nukem 3D should be preserved as just that – the Dukematches in particular are no more than than a window back to 1996 but with all the lag and clunkiness left seemingly untouched. If all else fails, the Capture the Babe mode will happily demean the experience even more, as it casually posits the method of spanking as a means to subdue a shoulder-flung captured babe when she attempts to wriggle out from the Duke's dominating manly grasp. And no, that's not a joke.
Duke Nukem Forever is a strange enough novelty all on its own, but when all is said and done, it is a vastly aged shooter that is left trailing in the dust of its modern contemporaries. Beyond any unspoken drama that led to over a decade's worth of unfinished work coming to an unceremonious and curious conclusion, the end result is a game that ultimately fails to justify its existence as a full-price offering for a variety of reasons. If anything, its arrival is better advertised as a red-letter moment in videogame history, but unfortunately not in the way we all would have liked.

Thrush question
Has anyone here had thrush and been able to get rid of it without a rx when genetian violet didn't work? I'm looking for some more options before taking him to the pedi bc we are in the process of moving.
Re: Thrush question
My baby got thrush at about two months. It was so awful! . I put a drop of antibacterial dish soap in about 6oz of water, shook it, and applied it on her gums with a q-tip. It got rid of the thrush so fast. Also if you use a pump at all make sure to sanitize it thoroughly. You can use your own breast milk to put on your nipples. Also eat plain yogurt. And maybe take some probiotics.
Re: Thrush question
Breastmilk on your nipples will make it WORSE! Yeast loves sweet, and milk is sweet.
Tons of probiotics for both of you. You can also use miconazole (lotrimin) topically on your nipples. Grapefruitseed extract also helps as well as apple cider vinegar. Google: Jack Newman Candida protocol
Re: Thrush question
I remember hearing about grapefruit extract

Affiliate marketing is the biggest source for online earners. Affiliate marketing have made rich to many web marketers. Many web marketers have and are making much more than $10,000 per month with a single affiliate program.
Will affiliate marketing success continue in this current resection time? Many affiliate marketers are seeing their earning falling down but there are many who says they have not found any problem. I don't know is this topic for debate or is there any real problem.
Affiliate marketers earn by various way from pay per lead to pay per sale. Every web marketer is specialized in their own space PPL or PPS. Small affiliates have earned most with pay per lead.
In this slowdown most affiliate's earnings are down in pay per sale programs. Affiliate marketers earn with PPS when someone buy a product. PPS make some great money as for every sale pays from 5% to 20% or more. At current time many people's jobs are lost and many are not in better position to spend lot of money on buying this have made affiliate sales much less then past.
On other hand many affiliate marketers are still earning big bucks with pay per lead program where there prospect have nothing to buy. When you don't have to spend anything on particular task you take part in those program because of this affiliate marketers focusing on PPL are still making good money.
Lot of affiliates are facing problem from 4when Google AdWords stopped third party URLs on their ads this stopped many affiliates earning who were making good money with their autopilot program. Where they generate good income after setting up there affiliate ads on Google AdWords.
Good affiliate marketers found many other ways of promoting there affiliate product and started earning with affiliate program for other countries.
Few days back I was reading somewhere that internet users are got down in this slow down. If it's true then affiliate marketers are going to face some problems.
On other hand I found many affiliate marketers earnings are increased in past few months which is a great news. Two different views are making me confuse is slowdown is impacting affiliate marketing or it is still in good shape.
If you are also an affiliate then please shares in which situation you are good or bad. Is affiliate marketing still working for you?

Man arrested for wife's murder in Kashmir
Police in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur Wednesday arrested a man on charges of having murdered his wife, whose semi-decomposed body was found in a rented accommodation in the town
A senior police officer told IANS here Ram Kumar was arrested after the inquest proceedings and post mortem report was received on suspicion of having murdered his wife after a domestic quarrel.

Therapeutic climbing
There is barely any other therapy that enables such concentrated and integrated exercise of all muscle regions. Therapeutic climbing is an ideal supplement to the treatment of patients having orthopaedic problems. Excellent results have been achieved even with stroke patients having signs of halfsided paralysis, in case of coordination dysfunctions owing to cerebral damage, multiple sclerosis and ataxia (improper movement coordination) in the context of neuro rehabilitation, with patients suffering from chronic pains and those suffering from vertigo.

All you will need to do is to buy or make a few things and start selling them on the internet almost immediately.
Make a list of products and items you can sell
You will need to start out by making a list of some of the things that you can make. A quick search on the internet will show you quite a few easy to make things like wedding invites, gift boxes, birthday greeting cards and other such things that can be made by hand. Of course, you need to also keep in mind that the internet has changed many traditions for people including the tradition of giving our greeting cards for birthdays and for Christmas.
Just a few years ago, there was a time when we wound receive hundreds of cards for our birthday and our phones would not stop ringing on our birthdays but today, people would rather opt to type some un thought out message on Facebook for the sole reason that Facebook reminded them about your birthday. As such, you will need to remind people about how it feels to send out a birthday card and receive a birthday card from someone. Your advertising will need to reflect the nostalgia of how exciting it was to open up our letter boxes and find a birthday card or a Christmas card waiting for us and ask people to bring back that tradition. Check out here for foil wedding invitations.
