Concentrated Trace Minerals Drops
Regular price
Concentrated Liquid Ionic Trace Mineral Drop Complex offers in 1/2 teaspoon, the mineral content of 1/2 cup sea water with 99.5% of the sodium removed. This product was specifically designed to contain a minimal amount of sodium.
Most Americans eat an unnaturally large amount of sodium, of which only 5% comes naturally in the foods we eat. It has been estimated that most Americans consume twice as much sodium as potassium, while an ideal diet should consist of 5 times more potassium than sodium.
A low potassium, high sodium diet has been demonstrated to play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Whereas, a diet more balanced has been shown to protect against the very same diseases.
Clinical Indications: This product is intended to be a comprehensive mineral and electrolyte supplement.
Formulation: Concentrated Trace Mineral Drop Complex offers the versatility of an electrolyte replacement drink,while nourishing the body with a complete blend of essential minerals. The body is constantly working to stay in a state of balance. This product helps you take a step in that direction. Concentrated Trace Mineral Drop Complex also provides the balance that your body needs.
Potassium,sodium and chloride are all considered electrolytes. They function in the maintenance and distribution of water within the body. In addition,they serve the role of controlling acid-base balance,heart contractility,kidney and adrenal function and vital neuromuscular activity.
We feel that minerals do not occur alone in food, therefore it would be unnatural to include some minerals in a product without providing a full complement of essential minerals.

Alright. While I was in the grocery store this vibrantly chatty 16 year old was having a minor panic episode because they did not have Sukiyaki sauce. I personally didn't know "Sukiyaki sauce" existed. She needed it for her cooking class group project in high school and she was just going to die if she could not find it so she could help make Sukiyaki. I just looked at her father put his hand over his eyes, in what I could only assume was a gathering up of another deep reserve of patients.
Heaven help her group members dealing with her spastic energy and unwillingness to get the job done right.
So on that note. Here is the recipe to make the fabled dish I fear she will never get to fully appreciate.
4 tbsp Soy Sauce
4 tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp sake or mirin
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound cut beef
1 bunch shiitake mushrooms
1 bunch enoki mushrooms
8oz itokonnyaku noodles
Half of a cabbage cut two finger widths wide
14oz tofu cut one finger width wide
2 scallions (long onions) cut diagonally
Heat your frying pan to medium high. Once it is hot, put in the cut beef and sear it. Add the soy sauce, sugar, and sake when the meat's color starts to turn.
Once you do that, flip it a few times and then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook everything at this point between 10 and 15 minutes.
Taste the mixture and adjust the flavor to your liking by adding either soy sauce and/or sugar.
Prepare your belly for some serious yum yums! And also pray for that poor girl and her cooking class grades.
On a side note. If you are feeling like you want to punch up your meal in a traditional fashion, dip your ingredients in an egg wash when you are putting them in the pan.

Read an Excerpt
Excerpt from Chapter 1: Board
She looked at her reflection in the water of the shallow well. Luxuriant midnight black hair to her breathtakingly slender waist, matching dark eyes in a lovely face. A torso coming yea-close to absolute perfection. She was man's desire. That was part of the problem.
Well, on with it. "Oh, Wishing Well, they say you will grant any wish, provided you like the offering given for it. But that if you don't like the offering, you may still grant the wish, but not in a way the wisher wants. So the wisher is sorry she ever bothered you. So it's a gamble, because no one really knows what you like."
She paused, but of course there was no answer. The surface of the water remained mirror-smooth. But it did seem to be listening.
"They also say that the correct way to approach you is to introduce yourself, explain your situation, make your wish, and then drop the offering into the water. That the wish will be granted instantly, and that's it; if you don't like the way it is done, you're still stuck with it. You don't do un-wishes."
There was a faint ripple. Was that interest?
"I was named Irrelevant Kandy, because—well, I don't exactly know why. But I think I was named in part after the irrelephant, which is a large white or pink animal with a very long nose that is incapable of making any difference no matter how hard it tries. My name is a curse, because everyone ignored me, thinking I was irrelevant, when I'm actually a very pretty girl, as you can see. So I tried going by my initial instead. That made me I Kandy. Then everyone looked at me. In fact they looked too much; their eyes wandered to places that, well, made me blush. Wherever I go, now, those Wandering Eyes pursue me. I almost feel them peering down inside my halter and up under my skirt, trying to pull off my clothing. They don't care about me at all, just how I look, or how certain parts of me look, and their cynosure makes me feel dirty there. This is no good either."
She paused again. Now there was a stronger ripple, almost in the shape of an eye. The well was definitely looking. She hoped it was orienting on her face.
"So I'm caught between two extremes: irrelevance, or getting eyed.
Maybe that's my talent; I'm not aware of any other. This ruins my social life. I'm actually a smart girl who would make any man an excellent wife. But no man sees that. No man is interested in my mind or personality, just my whatevers. So here is my wish: I'm board stiff. I want Adventure, Excitement, and Romance."
Now the ripples made her reflection shimmer. She definitely had the wishing well's attention.
"I searched all over for a suitable offering," she continued. "It occurred to me that how you look is governed by the sand on your bottom. It is frankly sort of dull. So I found a pretty colored stone that should add interest. Here it is: my offering, and I hope you like it."
She brought out the stone, which was like a faceted blue diamond, sparkling all over. She dropped it into the well.
Something happened. A sudden whirlwind surrounded her, lifting her up and ripping off her clothing. She was changing, somehow. Then she fell flat on the ground.
Literally. She had been transformed into a flat, stiff board with two knotholes for eyes.
Belatedly she realized her mistake: she had said she was "board stiff" when she meant "bored stiff." It was a mental typo, done in the tension of the moment. The well evidently had not appreciated her offering, and had punished her by making her bored a punnishly literal board.
She was doomed. She tried to cry, but all that happened was a small oozing of sap from her knot eyes.
She wasn't sure how long she lay there, feeling justifiably sorry for herself. Never in her wildest dreams had she anticipated becoming a stiff board. It was not the slightest bit feminine. What was to become of her? Would someone gather her for firewood? Oh, the horror!
Then another person approached the wishing well. Kandy's knot-eyes extended to either side of the board, and she could see very well despite lying flat on the ground. She could also hear the footfalls despite having no ears she knew of. It was a handsome young man with short curly blond hair, a bit of a blond beard, and a muscular body. Exactly the kind she might have liked to flirt with, assuming his eyes stayed in his face.
The man's foot just missed stepping on her. Watch it! she thought. If you were a woman I'd see right up under your dress to your panties and you'd never live it down. But of course he wasn't a woman, and his jeans showed nothing; her attempt at sarcastic humor fell flat as the board she was. It was probably just as well that she was unable to utter it.
He came to stand by the well, gazing down into the water. "Hi there," he said, and paused as if expecting a reply. When there was none, he continued. "My name is Ease, because it is my talent to make hard things easy. I can do just about any simple thing without much sweat. That's the problem: I crave a challenge that will give me personal satisfaction, and I haven't found it. I even went to the Good Magician to find a challenge, but he had no answer for me, and I never paid with any service. But I know better than to wish for that outright; I need to be more specific, or you'll give me something that's technically correct but actually messes me up. Such as changing my talent to the ability to absorb magic from something, then play it back, or emulating animalistic ability so I could fight like an animal, or the talent of always taking the shortest distance between two points; I'd just foul those up. So I have thought of three things that might help, any one of which might bring me satisfaction: the perfect weapon, the perfect adventure, the perfect woman. Give me one of those, your choice, and I'll use it to get satisfaction."
Now that was interesting. Recognizing his own limitations, he was letting the well decide which wish to grant, while offering it fairly general directions. Maybe there was a bit of originality in him. She liked that.
"Actually they don't even have to be perfect," he continued. "I'd settle for just about any pretty girl who liked me and would support me loyally, or any adventure that was exciting and interesting, or even a cutless or cutmore, you know, a sword that cuts women less or others more."
He paused, probably contemplating the ripples on the water in the well. "What I have to offer is a lesser thing, but maybe you'll like it. It's this old worn-out dagger my grandpa gave me. The blade's dull, the handle's falling apart; if it got used in a fight it would lose. But here's the thing: Grandpa's spirit infuses it. He had a lot of experience, back when the world was young. He can't talk to me now, but maybe he could talk to you, if you read his mind. He must have a hundred great old stories he could tell you so you wouldn't be bored. That's really my offering: entertainment. Here's the knife." He set the old dagger on the surface of the water and let it go.
That, too, was interesting. He was offering something for the well's intellectual side, rather than its physical side. She liked that too.
Nothing happened. After a while Ease sighed. "Don't like it, eh? I'm sorry. I thought you would. I'll take it back." He reached into the water. "Oops, you're deeper than you look. I can't reach it. Well, I'll leave it. Thanks for nothing."
She sympathized with his frustration. The well had accepted his gift without granting his wish. That was too bad, because it really was a thoughtful gift.
He turned away from the well. Then he saw the board. "What's this?" He bent down to pick it up, grasping Kandy about her ankles. "A board. Good hard wood, nice heft. Must've fallen off a wagon. Might make a halfway decent club." He swung her experimentally, so that the air swished by her face. "Okay, I'll take it; might as well leave here with something."
He wanted to use her as a club? Kandy was outraged. Why don't you club your own fat head, yokel?" she demanded silently.
Ease walked on, talking to himself. "I really thought the stupid well would grant my wish. I even made it easy, with the three choices. But all I got was this dumb board."
Kandy was outraged anew. Dumb board?! I'm a transformed woman, you idiot! As far as you're concerned, the perfect woman: in your grasp and completely silent. But her joke wasn't funny, even to her.
Then she suffered a blinding revelation. She was his perfect woman! The well had taken his dagger and given him her. But he didn't know it. Wasn't that just like a man!
Then she suffered a follow-up thought. If the well had granted Ease's wish in such a way that the man didn't know it, what about Kandy herself? She had asked for Adventure, Excitement, and Romance. Was she about to get it, while in the form of a board? What irony!
Yet this was one way she could be involved in things without those dread Wandering Eyes constantly goosing her. So maybe there just might be the hint of a suggestion of a reason for her present state. She could get to know Ease pretty well by being his club, without him being distracted by her appearance. It was possibly the only way she could associate closely with him or any man without being eye candy.
Except for one thing, one humongously huge thing: she was a board. Even if he realized her true nature, what good would it do him, or her? A man couldn't love a board.

For a few weeks now I've been mowing the lawn and working around the broken branch that hangs slightly into the yard. It's not a big deal and I keep thinking that I'll cut it off (eventually) so it's no longer in the way.
And yet, each week, after mowing the lawn, I rarely want to go back out to cut it off. So, it remains...broken, yet attached.
I've wondered at my apathy (laziness?) and whether cutting it off would really change anything. And after 3 weeks of mowing around it and failing to cut it off, I realized it's brokenness is more of a hindrance than just to mow the yard...it's a hindrance to the whole of the tree. See, the tree is still supplying food and water. It's sending valuable resources to a branch that can hardly bear fruit or last long. It would benefit the tree to have that broken branch gone so it could more fully nourish the healthier parts of the tree.
Of course, being a theologian...I looked for the God connection and thought that we do that all too often in our own lives and in the life of the church. We know something is broken and a hindrance, but it's not that much of a hindrance, so we keep working around it. Only, the reality is, it's costing us much more than a few extra steps. The broken thing, the thing that needs to be pruned back is also requiring time and energy that could be better invested elsewhere.
It's time for me to cut the branch. This weekend, I promise. ;) And, it might be time for you to do some cutting of your own. Is there something broken yet hanging on? Requiring time and energy and attention that could be better invested elsewhere? Why haven't you cut it off? What might bloom if you could give your goodness to a different place in your life?
May God bless you,
Pastor Debbie
This week I am at a worship conference and retreat at Zephyr Point in Lake Tahoe. Our welcome sheet had the attached instructions:
-whoever appears are the right people
-whatever happens is what needs to happen
-be open to surprise--"lean into it!"
-If a surprise comes your way--pay attention--it may be Divine Surprise
-when it's over--it's over
It was such a great way to start our week together...reminded that God has been and IS at work in our midst. I should expect God to be at work here and should lean into the people and conversations that emerge. It reminded me to look for God and open up to listen for the Spirit's voice.
It also made me think about our regular Sunday worship. Do we believe God has been working on us and in us to do something extra special in our time together? Do we look for who God has placed beside us (or in front of us) or do we only look for those we plan to see? Do we expect the Spirit to move in our hearts and look for holy appearances?
I think often we expect to "go to church", and that we might be able to find more ways to "lean in" to what God might do in that time.
I invite you to pray TODAY for what God will do on Sunday!
In Christ,
Pastor Debbie
The other day, we decided to try Dutch Bros. for the first time. I know, I know, we've been here nearly 9 months and just now tried it. I don't have any justification or answers, just that we hadn't been. Anyway, as we arrived, one of the gals was outside taking orders and Rick mentioned that it was our first time there and asked if she had any suggestions for us. She offered a couple and we made our order.
After we paid and picked up our order, they gave us a punch card with 9 stamps...we only bought 3 drinks. She said, next time we come back and order a drink we'll have our free one on the house. It was a cool treat and a really great way to get us to go back. I mean, we only have to order one more drink before we get the free one. Who wouldn't enjoy that!? And, why on earth would we not go back?
And then I started thinking about the church. What is it that draws people in to "try" a church? What prompts them, after maybe, say, 9 months in a new town, to try a church? And, once they are there, what might drive them to come back? Obviously, we're not in the business of mochas and lattes, though we do give out free coffee. But, we do need to be intentional about giving people a reason to come back. We want to offer opportunities to connect, build relationships, explore their faith, experience God, seek answers, and serve others. So, how are we doing those things? And, how are we helping people know about them? Are we offering a clear invitation to come back? One that's compelling?
Just like people have a choice about where they go for a cup of "joe", they have a choice about where they go to church. The old model of church assumed people went to a certain church because they were Methodist or Presbyterian or Baptist and they would likely find that same kind of church in a new town. But today's church world is a whole different place and people exercise a whole lot more choice in all of it. So, how are we helping and encouraging them to choose us as a place of worship and faith development?
Pastor Debbie
Recently I was reading a book on church leadership and one of the questions it asked is "What is God doing in the life of your new attendees?" It made me wonder a couple of things: 1) Who are all the new attendees? 2) Can our members identify them and call them by name? 3) How do we do at identifying what God is doing in our lives?
Before I asked any of you, I asked myself...who are the new folks? I made a list of those who have come to the church (and continued to attend at least once a month) since I arrived last July. Can you guess how many are on that list? I think you might be surprised.
I wrote them down, one name at a time, and, including children, there are 24. Does that surprise you? It kind of wow'd me. I have met them and know them by name, but I hadn't done the math and 24 seemed like a pretty hearty number. (There are even more if you look at just a few months prior to July). But beyond that, the real question is, do you know them? Have you met them? Do you look for them (or any other guests) when you come to worship? Do you seek them out to say welcome?
Our Sunday night small group spent a good bit of time talking about what it means to be welcoming, to be at church for more than ourselves, and how we offer a warm welcome when we may not know who is new and who is not? We all enjoy coming to worship and catching up with our friends. And, at the same time, it's important to be mindful of those who are new and don't know where to connect. (or even those who come regularly but don't receive a warm welcome). As the church--the body of Christ--this is a job that belongs to each of us (yes, even the introverts).
This Sunday, I'd encourage you to say hello to at least 3 people that you don't normally greet. Stretch yourself. Walk across the aisle (or the entire church!). Say good morning. Ask how their week was. Tell them it's good to see them. You may or may not know their name. That's ok (it's even ok to say, "I know I should know your name, but I just can't remember). Some of us are anxious about greeting people we don't know for fear of saying "Welcome, are you new here?" to someone who has been attending for years. I totally get that. So, instead of saying, "Are you new?" you could simply say, "Welcome!" or "It's good to see you this morning!" or "I look forward to seeing you again." If you're really feeling brave you could ask, "What's something wonderful that happened this week?" or "I've been looking for signs of God at work lately, is there anything you've seen?"
You never know when your friendly greeting might be what lifts someone's spirit, or allows them to feel noticed, or confirms that this really is the church where God is calling them to be.
Have a blessed week!
Pastor Debbie
How is God working in your life?
I read that question this week and wondered, even as a pastor, how often we stop to reflect on the answer. What is God doing in my life? Am I looking for signs of God showing up? Do I believe that God is ready and willing to do something? Anything? Personally, I'm a firm believer that God acts, in concrete ways, in our lives. But I don't always slow down to see and acknowledge what God has done. Though, when we do, the answers are often pretty awesome. This week, I'd like to invite you to stop and answer the question: how is God working in your life? To help you reflect, there are some additional questions below.
After you've identified something God is doing, I'd encourage you to identify two people (one from within the church and one from outside) you will share with, so that together you can celebrate God's faithfulness.
What have you seen God doing in you? Your family? Your work? Your neighborhood?
If you're seeing God at work, are you thanking God for God's presence, or love, or healing?
Are you excited about your relationship with God? If so, how might you share that with someone else? If not, what would you like to change? Have you prayed for that change?
If you're struggling to see God at work in your life, what seems to be the barrier? Are you spending time on your relationship? Are you talking with other Christians about what God is doing in them or how they have been able to find God in hard times? Do you have a habit or vice that takes priority over God and detracts from how God might be at work in you?
Peace and Grace
Pastor Debbie

Oh breastfeeding. It would seem like the most natural thing in the world — after all, a fair number of babies come out of the womb ready to get at their mom's food source. Sure, it's a personal decision and it's not always successful in 100 per cent of cases, but how often do we hear the term "breast is best?"
Yet breastfeeding is still one of those things that can be tricky to do, especially in public. Even when we cover up, people can still become extremely uncomfortable. We've even heard of cases where people yell at breastfeeding mothers about how they should be doing that in private. As though they can control when their babies — who, when they're young, have to eat every two-to-three hours — get hungry.
Jeesh. It's a woman's right to feed her baby, angry people. She probably wouldn't yell at you for eating your breakfast sandwich on the subway.
Thankfully, we Canadians have a Prime Minister who isn't afraid to embrace breastfeeding in all its beauty. Justin Trudeau shared a picture of his wife Sophie breastfeeding their son Hadrien on Twitter last Saturday. It was meant to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (which took place Aug. 1-7), and we couldn't be prouder.
This World Breastfeeding Week, let's support mothers to breastfeed anytime, anywhere. – SGT #WBW2016 pic.twitter.com/vgRMhzVY1Z
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) August 6, 2016
This is just the latest move by a Prime Minister who really does seems to be supportive of not only women's rights, but inclusivity as a whole. Either that or he just really knows how to work those publicity opps. We're going to go with the former though.
Because, as he'd say, "It's 2016."

I think this one is a little more true to life than the "Which Flower Are You" quiz because I am so not social and bubbly, people!
You are The Hermit
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.
The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.
The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
Oh, and I have four kids, so part of this is not true either, unless we're talking about a metaphorical virginity.
And if this is true, how come I can't get paid to be a hermit, eh?
What's up with that?

Below are housing-related ballot issues that are relevant to BOSS's work of helping people overcome homelessness and rebuild their lives.
However you choose to vote on these and other ballot initiatives, please make your voice heard and exercise your hard-won right to VOTE! The final day to register is one week from today – October 22nd. For information on how to register visit the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.
Local Measures:
Vote Yes on O & P! (Berkeley)
Join BOSS, former Mayor Tom Bates, the unanimous Berkeley City Council, League of Women Voters, and thousands of Berkeley residents in supporting two local measures that will help protect affordable housing in Berkeley:
Measure O, the $125 million housing bond, will be used by the City of Berkeley and its nonprofits to create and preserve affordable housing for low income households, working families, and those in need. Measure O would cost between $100-200 per home per year depending on the home, but it is worth the cost given the housing emergency East Bay cities face.
Measure P, the real estate transfer tax, would raise between $6-8 million annually for social welfare purposes such as navigation centers, mental health support, housing services and other support to the homeless. The measure would apply to homes selling or transferring for over $1.5 million.
Measure W (Oakland) would enact a parcel tax on vacant properties and those in use less than 50 days per year, raising $10 million annually over a term of 20 years – funds would support navigation centers, rapid rehousing, small homes, and alternative housing structures.
Measure Y (Oakland) would prohibit landlords from evicting tenants from residential rental units without specified just cause grounds by expanding the law to include owner occupied duplexes and triplexes.
For more information on these and other measures visit www.votersedge.com or www.affordableberkeley.org.
State Measures:
Proposition 1: The Veterans and Affordable Housing Act
Prop 1 will create affordable housing for veterans, families with children, people experiencing homelessness, and individuals with disabilities. The measure is a $4 billion general obligation bond that will allow California to invest in housing.
Proposition 2: The No Place Like Home Act
Prop 2 will authorize $2 billion in previously appropriated funding in order to create supportive housing for people suffering from chronic homelessness, people with disabilities, and people living with mental illness.
Proposition 10: The Affordable Housing Act
Prop 10 will repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act that prohibits communities from making their own decisions with regard to rent control, and arbitrarily prohibits rent control on properties build after 1995. Prop 10 will help communities struggling with skyrocketing rents to take the steps they need and want to take to protect and support affordable housing.

Allie Wright
Communications Director
Eagan, MN – Today, Angie Craig, who is challenging Rep. Jason Lewis in Minnesota's Second Congressional District, released the following statement in response to Rep. Jason Lewis's offensive remarks on women during past radio appearances.
"I am deeply disappointed by Rep. Jason Lewis's remarks about women and the example they provide to the young men of our nation, including my four sons.

My mom raised me and my siblings with the help of my grandmother who worked into her 70s to help our family. In Congress, I will fight like hell to make sure that women have the respect and opportunities they deserve so all of our families can thrive."

"MultiTrack Plus" for Running Tracks
Repairing and Resurfacing
An Asphalt or Concrete Court Is Not Rocket Science,
It's Just Common Sense!
MultiTrack Plus
MultiTrack Plus
is a premium quality 100% acrylic emulsion fortified with rubber particles designed for coating asphalt and latex/rubber running track surfaces. MultiTrack Plus is available in Red or 13 additional colors. 'Red' MultiTrack Plus contains red EPDM rubber granules. MultiTrack Plus beautifies tracks and provides superior protection against oxidization, ravelling, and moisture penetration. MultiTrack Plus is available in 30-gallon fiber kegs or 55-gallon steel drums.
14 Colors to choose from:
Red, Dark Green, Forest Green, Light Green, Beige, Brown, Maroon, Tournament Purple, Gray, Blue, Light Blue, Dove Gray, Ice Blue and Sandstone.
Surface Preparation
New asphalt must cure for 21 days prior to application of coatings. Pavement surface must be cleaned entirely of dust, dirt, mildew (if any) debris and all loose materials including vegetation. Depressions and shallow, damaged areas in the asphalt surface can be corrected by patching with
MultiLane Acrylic Patch
. Cracks can be filled with
MultiFlex Crack Sealant
. All repairs must be flush and smooth to adjoining surfaces. A tack coat of MultiAcrylic Adhesion Promoter is recommended prior to the initial coat of MultiTrack Plus, particularly on older tracks which are likely to be oxidized.
Coverage will normally range from 0.10 to 0.29 gallons per square yard per coat depending on the age, roughness, and porosity of the surface. Yields are based on undiluted MultiTrack Plus. Contact Tennis Universal regarding your particular surface.
Dilution and Mixing Procedure:
Dilute MultiTrack Plus with water using the following ratio:
Mixing Ratio
MultiTrack Plus............................ 55-gallons
Water........................................... 13-14 gallons
Color Pigment............................. 4-gallons
The amount of water required will vary according to ambient temperature. Higher temperatures may require greater water dilution to a maximum of 25% of the undiluted MultiTrack Plus
As a coating, MultiTrack Plus is applied using a soft rubber squeegee. A second coat would be applied in the same manner as the first coat only after the first coat had thoroughly dried. It is recommended that the coated surface be allowed to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before opening the running track for use.
Read the container label before using. Follow label instructions.
When applying, air temperature must be a minimum of 50 degrees F. (10C) and rising. Do not apply if surface temperature exceeds 135 degrees F. (57C)
Do not apply when rain is imminent or forecast
When applying indoors, use with adequate ventilation during application and drying
Close containers when not in use
Do not store in direct sunlight or where temperature may exceed 100 degrees F.
When applying surface coatings during periods of very hot weather, apply coatings at the coolest part of the day, usually in the early morning. Do not apply if surface temperature is 135 degrees F. (57C) or above. When you encounter hot weather which the surface temperature exceeds 135 F. (57C), it is best to apply one coat in the early morning before the temperature rises and then wait until the next morning to apply the next coat.
Drying Time:
45 to 90 minutes under optimum drying conditions.
Line Markings
Line markings shall be laid out and applied in accordance with the chosen governing rules. A
Running Track Stencils Kit
is available and can be supplied with the coating materials
Please contact us if you have any questions about the resurfacing process that have not been answered by the above application guidelines.

"Children's fashion is not a child's play," says a recent kidswear advertisement featuring Amitabh Bachchan. Brands and retailers are scratching their heads over how to appeal to kids' tastes besides keeping parents happy. They are not only consulting kids during their pre-production process besides offering them customised clothes."
"Children's fashion is not a child's play," says a recent kidswear advertisement featuring Amitabh Bachchan. Brands and retailers are scratching their heads over how to appeal to kids' tastes besides keeping parents happy. They are not only consulting kids during their pre-production process besides offering them customised clothes.
Robust growth predicted, girls' wear to dominate sales
As per Global Industry Analysts (GIA) estimated, the US market for children's wear is projected to exceed $76.4 billion by 2024. This would mean a CAGR of 3.9 percent from 2016 to 2024.The survey notes that an average household spends about $108 on kids' clothes. Out of this, girls' wear represents the largest product segment.
The Mintel Group also notes the influence kids are having on the children's wear industry. The firm in its 'Children's Clothing US 2019' report advises retailers and brands to consult kids while developing and designing clothing assortments. This would prove highly beneficial for brands as it help them cut down on wastes besides reducing their producing costs.
According to GIA, the preferred material for children's clothing is cotton, due to its wash-friendly properties. Around 83 per cent of the surveyed parents opted for the cotton material with around 44 per cent expressing their concern over brands and retailers substituting synthetic fibers for cotton. Nearly half of the parents expressed their willingness to pay a slightly higher price to prevent brands from substituting cotton with synthetic fibers in their kids' jeans.
Retailers and brands also need to remember that performance features such as shrink resistance, stain resistance, fade resistance, odor resistance and durability coax parents to pay more for their kids' clothes. The Monitor™ research reveals that while discussing back-to-school apparel, 72 percent of parents expressed their willingness to spend more on shrink resistant clothes. This was followed by those who willing to pay more stain resistant, (70 percent), fade resistant (68 percent) and odor resistant (64 percent) clothes. Around 64 per cent of respondents also prefer clothes with durability enhancement features.
Parents opt for offline stores, kids prefer online shopping
The C&R Research "YouthBeat Shopping" report reveals parents prefer to shop at brick and mortar stores as it's tough to gauge the exact size of their kids' clothes without actually trying them on. Around 40 per cent of these parents prefer to shop in stores where they can do additional shopping, either for themselves or others.
While retailers remain their favorite choice, parents are increasingly opting for retailers who offer stylish and affordable clothing, as well as other items on their shopping list. Retailers therefore need to consider other ways to cater to the needs of these parents.
As parents prefer offline stores, kids are increasingly veering towards online stores such as Amazon, Walmart and Target. Amazon has emerged as the top choice among tweens and teens as it offers from toys to clothes, or video games to phone cases. As per C&R Research, Nike is the top apparel brand for children while Justice is the second-most popular brand. Under Armour ranks as the second most preferred brand among tweens.
Older parents go organic
The GIA report also points out that the changing American demographics are creating an increasing number of older parents who are in their late 30s and 40s, have higher disposable incomes and a willingness to invest in their children's wardrobes. These consumers buy expensive designer outfits from brands such as Dolce and Gabbana, Hugo Boss, and Marc Jacobs. Also, parents prefer to buy the safest available clothes for their kids. This is translating into an increased interest in clothes made of organic and natural fibers, as well as recycled materials.
The Mintel Group notes a growing interest amongst dads about their child's clothing. Around 45 percent of dads feel it's important for their children to look stylish. And 26 percent believe price to be more important than quality.

During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
Real-time procedures were carried out Feb 22 and Feb 23 to change the ACIS SI-Mode.
A Chandra photo release was issued on Feb 28 describing observations of superbubbles in NGC 3079. The observations provide evidence that they and structures like them may be the source of cosmic rays. NGC 3079's superbubbles are younger cousins of "Fermi bubbles," first located in the Milky Way galaxy in 2010. For details see: http://chandra.si.edu/photo/2019/ngc3079/
The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of LHS2686 coordinated with HST, an observation of GJ163 coordinated with HST, and an observation of 4U 1901+03, which was accepted as a Director's Discretionary Time Target of Opportunity on Feb 14.

Unfortunately, they are only releasing in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. On the bright side, there won't be a need for those camp outs, long lines and fighting to get your pair of Boost 350. adidas is about premium service and fairness, so to set up the distribution for the shoes is going to be done through an app called "Adidas Confirmed". Through the app, you will make a reservation for your pair of shoes in which you will head over to the local store that will be releasing them at your convenience. With that being said, adidas has revealed a closer look at the sneakers Kanye West has been rocking lately.
"The low-top model is defined primarily by its melange Primeknit one-piece upper, tied together with reflective rope-like laces and complemented by advanced BOOST cushioning technology, making for a functional yet relaxed contemporary silhouette throughout."

Ask SWC: Salesforce Goes Social with Chatter
The word of the day is Chatter. What is Chatter? We like to think of it as Salesforce.com's version of Twitter. Watch this week's episode of 'Ask SWC' to learn more about this cool new feature and how it's helping organizations connect with their customers in real-time and new ways.
Salesforce.com is a cloud based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution for sales force automation, customer service, partner management and marketing and campaign management. The solution's ability to be on top of every lead, opportunity and customer interaction provides a huge advantage for users. One of the ways the platform does this is through a new social business feature called Chatter.
Chatter helps Salesforce.com users to build secure online communities by connecting users, groups and customers in a constant dialog. Once a user logs into their Salesforce.com account, they can use the Chatter feature to hashtag different events and tag people, so that they will be included in conversations that are relevant to them. By looking through your Salesforce Chatter feed, you can see anything that you were tagged in or any topics that were hashtagged that you may be interested in learning more about. Chatter is a great new feature that helps users quickly find experts, increase resolution time, convert more sales and make decisions faster.
If you would like to chat about chatter, please join us for our next informative Salesforce.com event or follow our Go-To-Market leader Elliott Baretz on LinkedIn.

A stalemate in the Senate is on the verge of handicapping American national security officers, Attorney General Loretta Lynch warned on Wednesday.
"Without action from the U.S. Senate, we will experience a serious lapse in our ability to protect the American people," she said during a press conference at the Justice Department.
"I am deeply committed to ensuring that this nation protects the civil liberties of every American while also keeping our country safe and secure," she added. "Unfortunately, some of the vital and uncontroversial tools we use to combat terrorism and crime are scheduled to shut down on Sunday."
In addition to the controversial Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which authorizes the government to collect various business records and has been used by the National Security Agency (NSA) to collect millions of Americans' phone records, other expiring provisions allow the government to target suspected "lone wolf" terrorists and trace disposable "burner" cellphones.
The ability to tap the phones of people who routinely burn through multiple devices is something Lynch has routinely seen "in every investigation I have ever done as a prosecutor, be it criminal or national security," she said.
"We now have the ability to go to the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] Court and obtain an order with probable cause to track a terrorist who does that," she added. "That provision will expire."
In advance of that end-of-the-month deadline, the Obama administration has ramped up the pressure for the Senate to pass a reform bill called the USA Freedom Act. That bill — passed by the House, 338-88, earlier this month — would renew three expiring provisions of the Patriot Act while also ending the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' phone records.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has rallied Republicans to oppose that bill, fearing it would limit the NSA from tracking suspected terrorists. But any other option seems nearly impossible, given the strong vote from the House and the few days remaining until the legal provisions expire.
After a slugfest that lasted into the early hours of last Saturday morning, McConnell has called senators back to Washington for a rare Sunday afternoon session, mere hours before the Patriot Act provisions expire.
Lynch made her comments Wednesday unprompted at the top of a press conference announcing action against FIFA officials for corruption, and a day after President Obama made a similar call from the Oval Office for senators to find a solution.

Whatever the result, today was going to be a milestone day for Linfield, though Linfield fans would be hoping that it would be simply that today was the 19th game of the season, marking the halfway point of the season, rather than the first time Linfield had lost five successive league games in so long, Statisticians don't actually know.
Linfield went into the game with a free midweek following the postponement of the County Antrim Shield Semi-Final against Carrick. Linfield could have done with going into this game (assuming they actually got the win) with the boost of reaching a Final, albeit in a minor competition. On the flip side, it was probably good to go into a game against high flying opponents with a clear midweek.
Linfield made a poor start to the game, even taking into consideration the weather conditions. Coleraine had the most of the possession, and when Linfield got the ball, they would usually lose it straight away due to having a Coleraine player snapping away at them.
Linfield players didn't help themselves, not managing the conditions. Jimmy Callacher almost cost a goal by trying to shepherd the ball out when it wasn't going out, long balls and passes forward were being overhit.
Despite having most of the possession, Coleraine didn't have many clear cut chances. The first one that came their way fell to Stephen Parkhill, but his goalbound shot was blocked by one of his own players, and when the ball came back to him, his weak shot was easily saved by Ross Glendinning.
The luck that had deserted Linfield in recent weeks had suddenly returned it seemed.
Ruairi Harkin had a shot that went wide after a break.
Linfield had their best moment when Guy Bates won possession and played it to Andrew Waterworth, but his first-time shot went wide.
Like in recent weeks, most of Linfield's play came through Paul Smyth. They didn't get the ball to him as much as they should have. In a game with little inspiration, every time Smyth got the ball, the crowd that something could be happening.
The only other attacking moment of note for Linfield came when Mark Stafford headed over from a corner.
A poor first-half, the only positive for Linfield was that they weren't behind.
In the opening moments of the second-half, Linfield were already far more positive, having a penalty appeal turned down when Andrew Waterworth was challenged. It would have been soft if it was given.
Soon afterwards, Linfield took the lead when a corner was headed home by Jimmy Callacher.
Throughout the four game losing run, Linfield went 1-0 down in each game, and couldn't recover the defecit. Now they had the lead, and you could see the boost in confidence.
Guy Bates had a chance to make it 2-0 but his shot went over. Back in August, it would have been blasted into the back of the net.
Coleraine didn't offer much of an attacking threat once they went 1-0 down. That was, until, Ruairi Harkin won possession and broke free, but his cross was overhit and the shot that resulted from it was cleared off the line by Jimmy Callacher.
At any time over the past four weeks, that probably would have resulted in a goal. Perhaps Linfield's luck was changing for the better.
Linfield needed a second goal, Jamie Mulgrew fired wide from the edge of the box as Linfield tried to get it. They had bitter recent experience of defending a lead at home to Coleraine.
Last season at home to Coleraine, they couldn't see the game out, conceding an injury time equaliser. That led to Crusaders going top and giving them the momentum to win the title. Linfield's results took a downward turn that day, dropping points against Ballinamallard, Cliftonville and Portadown over the next six weeks.
If Linfield had held on that day, perhaps the Gibson Cup would be residing at Windsor Park that day.
In the dying moments, Coleraine got a free-kick in the same position that Neil McCaffrey scored from last season. It was even at the same end of the pitch.
His free-kick hit the top of the crossbar and went over. Linfield fans began to allow themselves the believe that fortune was smiling on their team today.
The game wasn't won yet, Coleraine had one last chance, with Ross Glendinning making a save from a Darren McAuley shot. Linfield were able to see out the danger from the resulting corner, and saw out the game to win 1-0.
Other results didn't go in Linfield's favour today. It wasn't about plugging the gap on teams above us (well, apart from Coleraine, obviously), it was about ending the losing run, getting a win and getting back on track.
Ironically, Linfield played better in the last three games that they lost.
One day, we'll get the playing well and winning balance right, but for now, it's great to be spending a Saturday evening smiling after a Linfield win rather than bemoaning how hard done by we were.
Halfway through the season, Linfield face an uphill task to win the title, with a rotten run during November undoing all the good work between August and October.
The goals have dried up. Not just from Waterworth and Bates, but throughout the team. Remember, in the early months of the season, goals were coming throughout the team.
The lack of attacking options was clear to see on the subs bench, with three of the four outfield players named being defenders, albeit two that can play in midfield.
There were Irish Cup ties today, so that would logically suggest that the draw for the 5th Round, when Linfield enter, is coming soon.
My hope is an away tie to a lower league team whose ground i've never been to or haven't been to for a while.
So, my wishlist is : Abbey Villa, Limavady United, Knockbreda, Moyola Park (not yet through) or Loughgall or Banbridge Town.
Talking of draws, unless I speed home from the home game against Ballinamallard next week and type at a similar speed, Northern Ireland's fate will be decided when the Euro 2016 draw is done next Saturday by the next time I write a blog.
No easy games in Pot 1, but England would be nice for a local derby. Want to avoid France in the opening game due to extortionate ticket prices.
Russia/Ukraine look the weakest in Pot 2, while Hungary/Romania/Slovakia looks the weakest in Pot 3.
Hoping the opening match will be in Paris, Lille or Lens, and want to avoid Group F as it kicks off on the day I return home.
Keep an eye out who gets drawn as teams E3 and E4 as I have a ticket for that match on 13th June. How convenient it would be if it was Northern Ireland playing in that match.
Before the game, I got myself a ticket for Boxing Day (Season Tickets and Members only today, will sort out for friends when they go on General Sale next week)
To go with the Boxing Day tickets going on sale, next week sees the Radio Times Christmas Edition go on sale. The two biggest signs that Christmas is coming.
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Wether it feels a lot like a Linfield revival, we'll have to wait and see.

10 most expensive players in the history of IPL
When the first ever IPL auction took place, former Indian skipper MS Dhoni was sold to Chennai Super Kings for USD 15 lakhs and became the most expensive player in IPL. A year later, English internationals Kevin Pietersen and Freddie Flintoff were paid more than Dhoni as Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings bought them for USD 15.5 lakhs respectively.
Few years down the line, the IPL Governing Council (GC) changed the unit of money from USD to INR. The likes of Gautam Gambhir, Yusuf Pathan, Yuvraj Singh etc. fetched a huge sum in the auction while the players retained ahead of 2014 IPL received almost equal pay cheques as well.
When Royal Challengers Bangalore spent 14 crores for Yuvraj Singh ahead of 2014 IPL, it was the most expensive buy in the history of IPL before the southpaw was released a year later and Delhi Daredevils signed him for 16 crores, overtaking RCB's 14 crores to become the costliest IPL buy.
In the 2017 IPL auction, England all-rounder Ben Stokes was sold for INR 14.5 Crores and became the second costliest player in IPL history. While everyone thought that the sum won't be breached in the upcoming editions, the 2018 IPL retention saw the players receive a massive pay cheque as the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant were retained for a price that was more than Stokes's fee last year.
While Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils retained MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant for 15 crores each, RCB paid a whopping 17 crores to Indian skipper and unarguably the best batsman across all three formats, Virat Kohli.
With this, the recently married RCB skipper became the costliest player in the history of IPL and it is highly likely that he will still remain at the top even after the 2018 IPL auction that is scheduled to take place on January 27 and 28. Some other player might pip him for the top spot in the future but as of now, Kohli remains the undisputed King in the IPL.

I don't always spend a great deal of time reading the news. However, I do make it a point to stay up on what's going on in our world. I feel like that is the best way to keep perspective that this world (including myself) needs Jesus.
The Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman story seems to be everywhere. Yeah, I heard what President Obama said about it….Geraldo too. I've even taken some time to read responses on twitter, Facebook and other places that people are able to weigh in their opinion about the current event. I even have my emotional opinion of it the end of this young man's life.
George Zimmerman has basically been labeled (prejudged) a racist bigot.
Trayvon Martin has been labeled (prejudged) an innocent victim.
The Black Panther's have responded. Louis Farrakhan has responded. Jesse Jackson has responded. Geraldo has responded. President Obama has responded. There have been students who have protested through school walkouts.
The more time goes by, we see the schism that is produced. Schisms politically. Schisms socially. Schisms culturally. Schisms racially.
These commentaries and responses on the case are emotionally charged. I think a case like this should stir our emotions. No human life should ever be extinguished without invoking an emotional response. No matter how evil, no matter how innocent. In both cases a human life that has been created in God's image has been extinguished. However, are our emotional swayings really the thing that we should allow to dictate our response to this tragedy?
Hope is something that we heard a whole lot of four years ago. It wasn't a new idea then and it's not a new idea now.
Hope can't be found in our unrestrained emotional responses. The action that George Zimmerman took agains Trayvon Martin proves that.
Hope can only come from checking our emotions in the light of truth.
The truth is that this problem that is dividing so many can only find hope in one place…the truth.
Division and retaliation presents no hope at all.
Hope can only be found when people are centered upon a common ground. Common ground cannot be found where people are demanding their own sense of fairness, response and judgement.
Hope in any situation can only be found when truth triumphs emotion and reaction.
Hope has been presented for humankind. That hope is Jesus Christ. The Way. The Truth. The Life.
There are many in this world that don't believe in Christ that will laugh that answer of hope off.
What is sadder is that there are many that claim to believe in Christ as born again, or evangelical Christians that have never accepted him for being all three.
No one can accept Jesus as the hope that he is until we've never accepted Him for the personification of truth.
When that happens. Trayvon Martin becomes more than a life that was extinguished. George Zimmerman becomes more than the focus for our judgement. They both become humans that have value. They both become humans that are in need of the light of truth. They become precious, not pawns in a game of "causes."
We were created to be so much more than pawns.
Jesus came to provide hope for humanity. He accomplished His mission.
He has recreated many men and women over the last two thousand years into His body.
His body is to be the messenger of truth. His body is made of those who have accepted Him on all three point…The Way. The Truth. They Life.
His body (the Church) is to be the messenger of hope. The vehicle of revealing justice, peace and salvation. The personification of Christ in this world is the Church. How will we respond to our world? What will Jesus do if we allow Him to live His resurrected life through us?
