Some scores are deceiving. This one isn't. No. 11 Notre Dame leads Texas 17-0 through one half of action in South Bend.
Notre Dame thoroughly dominated the half, owning a 14-3 edge in first downs and a 230-74 yardage edge. The Irish marched 55 yards on eight plays on their second possession of the game, and then drove 95 yards on as many snaps on their next touch. Malik Zaire capped the first drive with a 16-yarder to Will Fuller, and Josh Adams punctuated the next with a 14-yard dash. Justin Yoon added a 38-yard field goal to complete the scoring.
Zaire has completed 11-of-13 passes for 144 yards and a score while adding 16 yards on the ground. C.J. Prosise has rushed nine times for 31 yards, carrying the load for Josh Adams, who left in the first quarter with a knee injury.
Texas did not notch a first down until its second-to-last play in the first quarter, an 11-yard dash by Johnathan Gray. Tyrone Swoopes completed 1-of-8 (not a misprint) passes for 20 yards and rushed eight times for 26 yards – most of those scrambles while evading multiple Notre Dame defensive linemen. Gray has rushed three times for 18 yards, and Daje Johnson has netted two grabs for 30 yards and one rush for nine. Redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard saw limited action, completing a 10-yard throw to Johnson and taking a vicious sack from Jaylon Smith.
Fittingly, the half ended with two Nick Rose 52-yard field goals erased by Notre Dame timeouts, and the third try sailing wide left as time expired.
Texas will receive to open the second half.

Welcome to my blog!
I'm Yvonne, a twenty-four year old freelance journalist living in Wicklow Ireland. I have been completely in love with reading since I was a little girl, the ability to lose myself in a good book has always been my favorite pastime and my bedroom floor is littered with books as my shelves became overfull a long time ago. I realize that makes me sound like what some people would call a "bookaholic" but I reject that term because that would imply that my obsession is a problem….which it isn't!
I've wanted to start a book review blog for a while now but I always struggled with where to start, then it hit me why not blog my way through one of those 100 books to read before you die lists. After searching online I found one that I really like the look of, Amazon.com Editors have come up with their list and then partnered up with Goodreads to let their members vote for their favorites and so the Goodreads 100 books to read in a lifetime: readers picks list was born.
I chose to tackle the Goodreads version instead of the Amazon editors one simply because it appealed to me more, even though there is a considerable amount of crossover between the two. So if you want to accompany me as I read my way through this list please do and feel free to comment on my posts or you can follow me on twitter here and pinterest here.

Pharmacies freely sell medical-grade drugs to addicts for up to a tenth of the cost of heroin. For the drug addicts in one New Delhi neighbourhood it is a cheap and easy way to get high. "Medicine is supposed to help people, but here [in India] medicine is not helping people, it's killing them, and it's a slow death ... a lot more is needed from the government side - not to stop the drug but to regulate it," says Rajeev, a former drug addict. Cannabis Country In 2013, Uruguay became the first country in the world to legalise marijuana and regulate a recreational market for the drug. Before legalisation, activist Juan Vaz went to jail for growing pot. When he was released, he fought to change the law and to organise growers and sellers. "I specialise in weed and everything related to it. From changing laws to creating hybrids with an oriental species," Juan Vaz says. Tanzania's Heroin Fix Heroin addicts in Tanzania have a unique refuge at Muhimbili's National Hospital, which contains one of Africa's first methadone clinics.

Culled from AWARENESS TIMES
By Sayoh Kamara
Jan 23, 2007, 11:32
The Special Court for Sierra Leone in the early hours of yesterday, 17th January 2007 flew out two of its detainees; Chief Sam Hinga Norman (CDF) and Issa Sesay (RUF) to Dakar, Senegal apparently for medical treatment but Chief Hingha Norman has now exclusively revealed last evening to Awareness Times that he is very bitter against the Special Court whom he emphatically states has not taken him into any hospital but have instead "dumped me into the worst jailyard in Senegal".
However, the Special Court Spokesman, Peter Andersen denied the allegation when contacted last night.
"Chief Norman and Issa Sesay are in the VIP [Very Important Persons] wing of a military hospital in Dakar." Andersen told Awareness Times. When pressed further to name the military hospital, Andersen refused to do so appealing for understanding from Awareness Times because of what he termed as "obvious security reasons."
However, in an exasperated mood, Chief Norman stated unequivocally to Awareness Times during a facilitated telephone call between this newspaper and the Chief in Senegal that, the place himself and Issa Sesay had been taken to was, "very much unsatisfactory and not conducive for human living".
Chief Norman said they had been taken not into hospital as expected but that they had been "dumped" into what he termed as, "the worst jailyard in Senegal" pointing out that if they are not taken from where they are at present to a conducive place, preferably a hospital of international standard for his surgical operation to be conducted, he would, "resist any attempt at performing the surgery until I am removed from where I am at present to a place that is environmentally conducive for a surgical operation."
It now appears that the sudden transfer was done with the complete ignorance of the Norman family and his lawyer Bu-Buakei Jabbie who told Awareness Times yesterday that he (Jabbe) was surprised that Chief Norman was taken out of Sierra Leone without his knowledge. However, Special Court's Peter Andersen posited that since it was a "medical issue" and not a "legal issue", the court did not need to inform the lawyers for Norman or Issa Sesay before flying them out for medical treatment.
Chief Norman himself explained to this newspaper that he and Issa Sesay were suddenly whisked from their cells very early in the morning on Wednesday to the Lungi Airport and put on board a helicopter which shuttled them to Dakar in Senegal after they were assured that they were going to be admitted into hospital.
According to Chief Norman, they had agreed with the Special Court for Sierra Leone to be taken to "a reputable hospital that meets the international standards set in the statutes of the Special Court but not to a squalid environment like we are in now", he angrily told Awareness Times, and therefore threatened, "If I am not removed from where I am now, I will embark on an indefinite hunger strike for the attention of the international community and the people of Sierra Leone as a way of highlighting my plight", he noted.
He went on to express fear for his life and disclosed, "As I speak to you now, I have not seen any Doctor. Nobody has spoken to me and since I arrived early this morning I have not been given any food to eat", adding, "We are being treated like virtual prisoners in a condition far worse than we were in at the Special Court in Sierra Leone."
He therefore called, "Because of all these unprecedented happenings, I want to tell Sierra Leoneans and the world through you Awareness Times that I, Chief Sam Hinga Norman, am very much afraid for my life as it is put in the hands of people I do not trust to administer any form of medical treatment on me", he stated.
|Juliet Norman speaks with Awareness Times Editor last night
A daughter of Chief Norman, Juliet Norman who also spoke exclusively to Awareness Times pointed out that as a family, no one was informed or contacted about the transfer of her father. "I only came to know about it when I got an unexpected call from an unknown person in Senegal that my father wanted to talk to me", she said.
She explained that the family had earlier requested from the Special Court that they be informed whenever they want to take him any where for what ever medical treatment, noting that they had suggested that at least a member of the family be allowed to accompany him.
"I was therefore shocked to hear from Papa that he was in Senegal and was in a place that is a jailyard and not a hospital", Juliet told Awareness Times.
Juliet Norman drew a hypothesis emphasizing the concern of the Norman family, which suggests that her father may be about to be treated like the late Foday Sankoh.
"Perhaps because of fears that he might say things which some people never wanted to be known by the Sierra Leone people, he was first put in what they called "catatonic condition" only for him to die later. I am therefore very much concerned over my father's welfare and life especially in the kind of conditions he now finds himself", Juliet said.
According to Juliet Norman, she does not believe that her father was actually taken to Senegal for an operation.
"How could they have smuggled him out of the country like he was already a condemned prisoner that is being taken to the gallows?" she commented.
|The Family of Chief Sam Hingha Norman at the Awareness Times offices last night
Miss Juliet Norman on behalf of the Norman Family (who all accompanied her to the Awareness Times offices last night) and on behalf of her father called on the international community especially Human Rights bodies to impress on the Special Court for Sierra Leone to bring back her father to Sierra Leone or to take him to international standard hospital and to also ensure the presence of at least a member of their family where ever he was to undergo his operation.
She said she was making this call because "I am not actually sure whether Papa would receive the kind of attention a surgical patient deserves if he is forced to be operated on. I truly do not have any confidence that he would be treated accordingly", Miss Norman asserted.
|The daughter of Chief Sam Hingha Norman at the Awareness Times offices last night.
Since agents of the Special Court arrested him on 10th March 2003, Chief Norman has been complaining of pains in his right thigh, which he attributed to a fall in the vehicle which was transporting him to the Special Court. He had complained that his hands were handcuffed behind his back and his right foot chained which made it impossible for him to gain his balance in the speeding vehicle when he had to fall heavily on his right side.
The operation that is to be performed upon him is expected to be a hip replacement operation.
In a passionate appeal last night to Awareness Times, Chief Norman pleaded for this newspaper to ensure that the world got to know of his plight.
"I hope that you will not allow yourselves to be intimidated into not letting the world know of what has happened to me in Senegal." he pleaded.

Curly tail grubs are a very under utilised lure for Barramundi. I have been using these lures for some time, and have also seen them used by a few other anglers such as those in some of Johnny Mitchell's DVD's where the angler using the grub recieved the most attention from Barra on a very cold shut down day. There are few grubs available of suitable size, but this 9 inch version by Zman is just perfect when teamed up to a TT headhunter or dynamite with a TT Revhead spinner jig. MH

Ever wondered what your toothpaste is made of ? It isn't just the swiping up and down movement every morning that gets the cleaning job done on your teeth. There are certain ingredients that get the job done. A lot of these ingredients are actually chemicals. You might have come across some of these ingredients or not but in case you haven't, here are some of the ingredients contained in a toothpaste that we will be looking at today: Flouride, Triclosan, Aspartame and a lot more.
Research has found out that most of the chemicals found today in your toothpaste can cause more harm than good especially your kids' teeth and gums. Now some of these major offenders are:
Being in this world and aware of the things happening around you, you must have heard of fluoride. A good number of the conventional toothpastes in the world today contain fluoride. It is true that this ingredient which is referred to as nature's cavity fighter helps to strengthen the enamel on your teeth keeping cavities away at the same time.
Recent research has found that not only does fluoride play a big role in fighting cavities, it is dangerous to your health and that of your kids. Fluoride, when ingested, causes permanent tooth discoloration, skin rashes, impairment of glucose metabolism and stomach problems, especially in children.
Constant use of large amounts of fluoride can also cause fluorosis and so it's one of the major contraindications in children as swollen teeth in children can cause death. FDA has asked that a label is put on every tube of toothpaste containing fluoride that warns every toothpaste user in the US of the harm fluoride can cause. In this case and so many others, natural toothpastes are the way to go.
Originally abrasives contained some things as crushed shell eggs and so was considered very rough but most toothpastes today have settled for calcium carbonate, hydrated aluminum oxides, and dehydrated silica gels which are gentler. Abrasives are what helps your scrubbing to produce sparkling teeth but in as much as this ingredient has a major role to play in cleaning your teeth, it can lead to 'abfraction' what we all know today as tooth sensitivity as a lot of toothpaste brands contain abrasives that are harsher than expected.
You'd probably be wondering what these surfactants are, well they are the chemicals that cause your toothpaste to foam when you brush. The surfactants present in your toothpaste can be sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium lauryl ether sulfate. These cause the breaking up of the phospholipids on your tongue thereby enhancing the bitter taste. Ever wondered what causes the bitter taste in your mouth whenever you're done brushing? Well, you have your answer – Surfactants. Apart from damaging your tongue gradually, SLS is known to cause skin irritations and very painful canker sores. Imagine a chemical that is being used as an insecticide in your toothpaste and what level of harm it poses to your teeth.
Most conventional toothpastes contain 'Triclosan' an antibacterial agent which has shown to be very effective in preventing gingivitis and plaques but the price to pay for having triclosan fight your gingivitis and plaque battles include endocrine disruption and antibiotic resistance. This chemical has also been linked to cancer as it is said to have the potential of causing breast cancer.
A lot of artificial sweeteners are found in today's conventional toothpastes one of which is 'Aspartame'. Aspartame creates a certain kind of methanol that cannot be eliminated easily by the body and guess what? We brush every day and when we ingest these toothpastes unintentionally, the body continues to store this methanol and before long a case of methanol poisoning will occur. You can detect that from its symptoms which include ear buzzing, dizziness, vertigo, memory lapses, headaches, neuritis, gastro problems etc. You shouldn't suffer this lot just because of some sweetener in a toothpaste tube.
Conventional toothpaste has been found to contain Hydroxyapatite nanocrystals which help in refilling the void in the enamel which is known as remineralization.
Ever thought of what keeps toothpastes for as long as the last? The preservatives huh? Yeah, you're right. Preservatives such as formaldehydes, dechlorinated phenols, and alcohols which build up in the body due to constant use of toothpaste and disrupt the body's normal function, therefore, becoming lethal to the body.
Although conventional toothpaste gives you the results you want and are available and accessible can be very dangerous to your health. The major reason you should think of using natural herbal toothpaste. Might be costly but saves you the scare conventional toothpaste bring along with it.

The last days of supplements are nigh. Have you repented? Sometimes I think that this new found healthy lifestyle is actually detrimental for my health. Woke up this morning with a black eye and busted knuckle from training but that probably won't stop me from going again today. Maybe I am just self destructive or maybe I am Bruce Lee reincarnated (definitely the latter considering I always played as Marshall Law in Tekken).
Today I have decided to write about spirulina (and no that isn't Cinderella's twin sister who ended up living a life of forced manual labour after her sister ran off). Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae originally found in tropical lakes. It was first noted to have been used by the Aztecs as a daily food source and naturally harvested from lakes. Now it is produced commercially in man made ponds and lakes.
So what is the big deal and if it is so good then where are the Aztecs now (a victim of their vengeful Gods who I am now genuinely afraid of). Well it contains a super high amount of protein for starters. According to the Aztec God of knowledge (wikipedia), it equals the protein in eggs and most meats and has way more protein than most plant based sources (such as lentils, chick peas etc). In fact it is so high in protein that NASA and the European Space Agency are proposing it to be one of the primary foods to be cultivated during long-term space missions. Now I'm starting to think that maybe the Aztecs just up and left Earth for Mars.
Spirulina has also shown promising affects to help tackle autoimmune diseases (CROHN'S). A bacteria found in the gut called Candida has been known to worsen the affects of these autoimmune disorders and while Spirulina is not a cure for it, it has been found to promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut and prevent an overgrowth of Candida. Spirulina is nutritionally awesome and a great source of protein especially if you are vegetarian or vegen.
For my tune I have pick a conscious hip hop classic from back in the day. Hip hop is not just an art but a way of thought.

I recently had a need to allow users to create a single comment on two node types, of which only the author could access. Part of the decision for limiting users to one comment per node was to keep the database size down. We only wanted one comment to be made per node, and future comments made as edits to the original. Because of the way the comments are displayed to the user, on the node itself, and being that the client wanted to avoid any page refresh for most user actions, the comment creation and edits are all made via Drupal 8's built-in REST resources and handled with Javascript.
Before getting started you will want to make sure you have the following core modules enabled: HAL, HTTP Basic Authentication, RESTful Web Services, and Serialization. These can be found on the modules page under "Web Services."
To make the set-up process easier we're going to leverage a contrib module called REST UI. Once installed and enabled, navigate to Configuration>Web services>REST. Here you can see the list of REST resources available by default in Drupal. Enable the "Comment" resource and click "Edit."
Here you can see the available methods and their settings for this resource. Since we are only dealing with creating and updating comments we only need to enable POST and PATCH methods. Within each method, there are settings for accepted request formats and authentication providers. For this example, we will be using the same settings for POST and PATCH. Enable hal_json for "Accepted request formats" and basic_auth & cookie for "Authentication providers."
This completes the setup process. We can now begin to write the JS methods needed to POST and PATCH to our REST resources.
To start we are going create a method to authenticate our request with Drupal. This can be found here.
function getCsrfToken(callback) { $.get(Drupal.url('rest/session/token')).done(function (data) { var csrfToken = data; callback(csrfToken); }); }
This method is used to get the CSRF Token, which in combination with the session ID, is needed to authenticate requests with Drupal.
When I began looking through Drupal 8 documentation for REST services, specifically relating to comments, the information was not complete. Luckily, others had already started related discussions on the forums and in issue queues.
For creating comments, using POST with a hal+json request format, there are a few extra pieces of information our data object needs before it is sent to our REST resource.
var newComment = { _links: { type: { href: "https://www.example.com/rest/type/comment/comment" }, https://www.example.com/relation/comment/comment/entity_id: { href: "https://www.example.com/rest/type/comment/comment/node/100" // Path to host node. }, }, entity_id: [ { target_id: 100 // The host entity's ID } ], langcode: [ { value: 'en' } ], subject: [ { value: "The title of the comment" }], uid:[ { target_id: 2 // The user ID of the author for the comment } ], status: [ { value: '1' } ], entity_type: [ { value: 'node' // Host entity type. } ], comment_type: [ { target_id: 'comment' // Machine name of the comment bundle. } ], field_name: [ { value: 'comment' // Name of the field on the node. } ], comment_body: [ { value: "Body text for the comment." } ] };
Now that we have the values set up for our data object, newComment, we can actually make the request.
function postComment(csrfToken, newComment) { $.ajax({ url: '/entity/comment?_format=hal_json', method: 'POST', headers: { 'X-CSRF-Token': csrfToken, 'Content-Type': 'application/hal+json' }, data: JSON.stringify(newComment), success: function (createdComment) { console.log(createdComment); }, error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {} }); }
That's it, we have the two methods and the data object needed to create a comment via Javascript in D8 with REST. Fire it using:
getCsrfToken(function (csrfToken) { postComment(csrfToken, newComment); });
Now that we can create comments with Javascript, we need to be able to update them. To do this we are going to use PATCH resource for comments. We configured our comment resource for this already above, and we can use the same getCsrfToken function for authentication. The method we will create for editing comments is also very similar to the postComment method from above. The only difference is the addition of the commentId parameter, which is added to the "url" property, and changing the "method" property from POST to PATCH.
function patchComment(csrfToken, comment, commentId) { $.ajax({ url: '/comment/' + commentId + '?_format=hal_json', method: 'PATCH', headers: { 'X-CSRF-Token': csrfToken, 'Content-Type': 'application/hal+json' }, data: JSON.stringify(comment), success: function (updatedComment) { console.log(updatedComment); }, error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {} }); }
The data object we will be sending to the PATCH resource is much simpler than the one for POST. The same "_links" urls must be sent as before. With hal+json using references, we only need to send the fields we want to update. If we send any read-only fields, such as uid or entity_id, the request will be denied with a 403 response. In this case, our comments only have one field to be updated, the body, so all we have to send is the new value.
var updatedComment = { _links: { type: { href: type_href }, }, comment_body: [ { value: note } ] };
Use the same way we fired the POST request to fire the PATCH request:
getCsrfToken(function (csrfToken) { patchComment(csrfToken, updatedComment, commentId); });
There you have it. Once everything is enabled, configured, and your variables are where you want them, it actually isn't too bad to get Drupal's built-in REST resources to work. A few simple methods and you should be good to go.

A documentary film from Ukraine, summer 14. In this film war is an atmosphere, rather than journalistic facts. Through music we visit all layers of society. In the form of a poem we show how it feels when your country is in an invincible conflict. Two friends on the floor proud pine trees and current rivers grenades without detonation. In the staircase dust is dancing. Women bring home sunflowers. Deafening silent is Ukraine, before the boys are leaving. War is strange, people try to make sense, in this place we call our home. "War" is normally understood as action, and the images we think of are the ones from a battlefield. In this film, "war" is something else. It is depicted as most people will experience it; something out of your control, far away from you, something you worry about. A worry you try to suppress, while trying to continue living. Something that might separate you from someone near to you. With a main focus on imagery over dialog and with a fragmented storyline, the film depicts the conflict in Ukraine, and how it affects everyday life of those who stay at home; of those who is waiting.

Is removal of the DMSO from the HEK293T cells required?
Yes, it is absolutely required. You cannot simply take the cells out of the cryovial and put them into 10ml media in a flask. There is a very high percentage of DMSO in the cryofreezing media. A 1: 10 dilution is not enough to eliminate the immense toxicity of the DMSO. You must take the cells into 10ml fresh medium out of the cryovial, mix, then spin, aspirate supernatant (removing DMSO), resuspend and put onto the flask. This is all list in the protocol for culturing the HEK293T cells included in the Trans-Lentiviral Packaging System product manual.

Benefits for Foster Parents in California
Being a foster parent can be a rewarding experience. In addition to helping to brighten the life of a child in need, foster parents in California receive a variety of benefits to ensure that they are able to best provide for the child or children in their care 2. The Golden State recognizes the special needs of foster parents and works to make sure that the parents are given the support needed to provide loving homes. All benefits are offered through:
California Department of Children and Family Services 425 Shatto Place Los Angeles, CA 90020 213-351-5507 dcfs.ca.us 2
Respite Care
One of the biggest challenges that foster parents of children of special needs or behavioral issues face is finding short term, quality replacement care for their foster child. The state of California offers a respite care program that is designed to allow foster parents of children with special needs to take a break 2. Foster parents who are working around the clock to meet the needs of a child with physical or emotional issues may become burned out and be less effective as parents. To prevent this, the state provides professionally trained child care workers to stay with the child while the foster parent takes some much deserved time off, typically lasting no more than a couple of days.
Free Parenting Classes
Parenting classes can be extremely beneficial and are offered free of charge to all applicants who wish to become foster parents in the state of California 1. These classes are taught by licensed social workers and instruct new and would-be foster parents on the basics of child care as well as how to care for a special needs child or child with emotional issues. Participants in the class learn methods of stress management, the importance of structure in a child's life and the difference between discipline and punishment. In addition to the classes provided, support is offered 24 hours a day through the California Department of Children and Family Services 2.
Financial Assistance
In addition to being sometimes stressful, being a foster parent can present financial concerns. To help offset the cost of raising a foster child, the state of California provides a monthly payment to the foster parent that is to be used for typical children's necessities such as clothing, food and toys. While the monthly rate given to foster parents may vary by county, the typical monthly stipend averages $446 to $667 per month, per child and is based on factors including the age and needs of the child. For children who are considered special needs due to physical or emotional concerns, this rate may be increased by an additional $84 to $175 per month, based on specific needs as determined by the state.

Gasabo district, on Monday, officially inaugurated a health post and 60 houses for vulnerable people in Ndera sector, as part of the ongoing Governance Month.
The health post, in Kibenga cell, offers mainly family planning services and will serve all the sector residents, while the houses for vulnerable people were built in Mukuyu cell.
According to Gasabo's Vice Mayor in charge of economic affairs, Jean Claude Munara, the health post will serve all the residents of Ndera.
"This is a response to the problem with the existing catholic-owned health centre that did not accept to offer the modern family planning methods and accepted only the natural family planning,'' he said.
Josephine Kaneza, a nurse at the newly inaugurated health post, said the facility receives 30 people per day, and 1,000 people had sought family planning services there in the last four months.
The houses in Mukuyu site were built jointly by the Kicukiro district, Joint Action Development Forum (JADF) of Kicukiro district and the Fund for Support to Genocide Survivors (FARG).
Munara said the cost of one house is estimated at Rwf10 million. They are modern houses equipped with water tanks and other equipment.
"You must maintain these houses well because they were costly,'' Munara tells Mukuyu site inhabitants.
The houses are intended for use by the poor residents who previously lived in traditional huts known as Nyakatsi as well as the homeless incapable of building their own houses.
Annoncée Kanzayire, one of the beneficiaries and Genocide survivor, said before receiving the house, she had lived in 50 different houses because of eviction by the owners.
New health post to improve family planning services
Gasabo district, on Monday, officially inaugurated a health post and 60 houses for vulnerable people in Ndera sector, as part of the ongoing Governance Month.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside
Located near the main lobby, the River Roost is not generally much to look at, but has probably the longest, most elaborately created backstory of any Walt Disney World lounge. In fact, the entire Port Orleans Riverside Resort has a fascinating story behind why it looks the way it does. The entire story can be found over at PortOrleans.org, but the gist of it is that it was a rural outpost up-river from the more metropolitan French Quarter Resort which developed things such as a cotton mill and a shipbuilding industry, many hints of which can be found around the resort.
River Roost started, so the story goes, when the proprietors of the general store decided to make some extra money selling drinks to patrons. While the lounge is not heavily themed, many examples of shipbuilding are present, as well as hints that Riverside is a major trading hub. The stage area contains a commodity board, a departure schedule for the "Sassagoula Steamship Line," and some ship-related architectural drawings.
Of course the stage area also contains the biggest draw for the River Roost, Yehaa Bob. It is hard to adequately describe the ever- present performer, but on most Wednesday through Saturday nights, Bob involves the crowd in a half comedy, half musical, half sing-a-long performance (yes, three halves...it's one doozy of a show). Usually performed twice per night with the first around 8:30 pm, the show is very popular and every seat is taken well before showtime. The most impressive thing is Bob's memory which he displays by recalling, in surprising detail, the names and places of residence of the audience members he speaks to prior to the show. Yehaa Bob is fun and family friendly (although the late show can get a little edgy...Disney edgy, not really edgy) and gets universally high marks.

Today I have made a card to share. When I decided to make a card for today's post, I thought about what I love most about DIGITAL DELIGHTS and more than anything, I love the large VARIETY of images, sentiments, papers, and much more that Wendy has for sale in the DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP. For those who know me, I am easily bored with things - I like variety and choices and that's what I have found in DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP. Every time I visit the shop, I see images, etc. that I have never seen before. Some may be brand spankin' new and others may be years old, but to me, if I haven't seen them before, they are NEW!! ;)
This image I chose for today is called "Save Our Trees" and I actually cannot find it in the shop at the moment, but I'm sure that if you'd like to work with it, I can ask Wendy to put it back in the shop. I thought this image was great for this week because Earth Day is next Sunday, April 22. I have colored this wonderful image with Copics and cut out with Nesties. DP is from Basic Grey and all CS is Bazzill. My flowers are Prima, as is the pearl and the buttons are DeNami Design. Ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. I used my corner rounder on the 2nd and 3rd layer and scalloped piece cut with Lifestyle crafts die. I sure hope you like it!

There is no better duo in keeping your car at the top of its game than the combination of car wax and car polish.
Car polish, in its own right, keeps your vehicle from having irregular bumps and dirt by cleaning it through abrasive actions. This maximizes the shine from your vehicle by ensuring a smooth surface for light reflection. Car wax, on the other hand, protects the paintworks from any harmful elements that might cause scratches, oxidation, and swirl.
These two products work hand-in-hand by ensuring that the shine you get from a car polish will be retained for periods through the protection offered by the wax. This article will discuss several brands of car wax and car polish you need to try in order to have the best output that will make you go back for more.
This will also discuss the major considerations you need to understand in order to choose for the brand of auto wax and polish you will patronize in the long run. Some of these factors will not only save you money, but will also give you the capability to tailor-fit the specifications you will demand from your product.
Finally, the article will give you an insight on what you need to remember before attempting to do the application of the car polish and car wax on your own. Observing the proper steps and procedures in applying it to your vehicle's paint job is as equally crucial to the overall output of the products as having the best car wax and best car polish in the market.

- 4 Conclusion
Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish
Termed as "The-Once-A-Year Car Polish," Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish boasts of its two major qualities: first, the formulation does not contain any wax at all, and second, it has one of the cheapest retail values in the car polish market.
Nu Finish's top rated car polish does not employ any wax in its formulation. It uses a series of cross-linking polymer emulsions that help it produce abrasions that are effective in just a few applications. Other than its hi-tech formulation, the fact that it doesn't use wax makes it not prone to the problems of usual car polish of not being able to withstand the extremes of temperatures and conditions.
The product can also be applied gently without any heavy rubbing or buffing. You will only need a small amount of it applied to the vehicle's exterior with a cloth, and the formulation will work its own magic.
Users reviewed the 4.5 product because of its availability and affordability in the market, saying that this provided them with a smooth finish than the other known brands. The product, according to them, lasted for about 30 or more days even during the winter time without faltering. They also noted of its easy removal and its 30-day money back guarantee, ensuring the consumers that Nu finish car polish will give them the longer lasting shine than the usual.
If you are entering the market of car polish for a try, the affordable and ever-reliable Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish should be at the top of your list. The car polish brand never made it to the top of the rank in leading consumer's magazine for nothing.
Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax
Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax provides a car wax finish providing synthetic protection, durability, depth of color, and reflectivity in just one step application.
The popular auto wax uses the brand's ThinFilm technology providing for an ease in application and removal even under the intense heat of the sun. This also gives the material extended protection and amplified reflectivity, without leaving any white residues on the plastic materials of the vehicles. The product also employs Hydrophobic Polymer Technology, increasing surface tension for dirt and roadside elements and making it highly resistive to water. With this, you will never have to worry about the wet-look finish the product will surely bring you, as it will also enhance the color and depth of the vehicle's paint, providing a more holistic car care.
The 4.7 product is noted by consumers and users to its durability and affordability. At a cost that's surely worth its features, you will have a top rated car wax that offers the same shine as the more expensive brands – but can last up to two weeks longer. It gives equal quality treatment to cars of different ages and models, and vehicles of different color. The final result left the users with a finish that is comparable to most professional car waxing.
With its very affordable cost, the Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax provides more than what a typical car wax can do. The product's cutting edge technology gives the users additional margin to do what they want wherever they will be, without the pain of having to reapply over and over again.
Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax
Who says that oil-based auto wax is inferior to the synthetic ones? Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax says otherwise. The carnauba-based wax provides an exceptional, deep-wet look without compromising its premium level of protection.
The special blending of Carnauba, polymers and resins give your vehicle that wet look in an easy-to-remove formulation. The car wax derives its name from its butter-like texture that makes it easier to melt in your paintwork. With it, you are sure that it will stick to your vehicle after application thereby providing long-lasting protection against bird droppings, road tar, UV solar rays, and water spots.
The Butter Wet Wax can be applied by hand or machine. It is coupled by the wax's easiness to apply and remove, which makes it more ergonomic than the other brands.
Users have to say that the 4.6-rated auto wax is easy to apply and wipe off. It also renders a service that will make your vehicle look like 'it came off a showroom floor.' Other than being affordable, the product also helps you save on costs by having a thick formulation – one bottle should be enough to cover 20-30 mid-size vehicles. Users of vehicles of varying model from 2007 Nissan 3507 to BMW even recommended the product for producing thick, wet-like finish suitable for the surfaces of their cars.
Chemical Guys' renowned brand produced yet another masterpiece in its Butter Wet Wax, giving the consumers an option to try a unique, ever-excellent product that will surely not hurt their pockets from purchase until the car wax's last drop.
Mothers Reflections Car Wax
The Mothers Reflections Car Wax is created specifically for detailers who are highly particular with details. The car wax uses surface enhancement technologies to further raise the product's eminence in the auto wax domain.
The genius of Mothers produces protection greater than other cheaper car wax products in the market. With its latest liquid polymer technology, Reflections Car Wax sticks to your paint for long thereby giving your vehicle that shiny, wet-look coating for months. The synthetic polymer puts the enthusiasts on top of its consideration; thus, Mothers recommend that the Reflections products (Car Wax, Top Coat) be used in conjunction with each other, putting the latter on top of the former for best results.
Its strength involves its economy of use – needing only a thin portion of the car wax for it to produce desirable output. The 4.8-rated premium car wax thus, albeit expensive, gives the users some significant savings in the long run. They also noted that the product offers deeper finish and more wet-looking coating than any other synthetic options in the market. To add to that, the product is relatively easier to apply – users do not have to buff and press hard enough to produce the results that they wanted.
Mothers Reflections Car Wax never failed the standards of the brand that made it known for years. The product being pricey might scare you at first, but looking at the specifications and capabilities of this high end car wax, it is all worth it.
Liquid Glass Ultimate Auto Polish/Finish
Finally, we have a product that will surely shock users and patrons of other market car wax products out there. Liquid Glass Ultimate Auto Polish/Finish protects your vehicle like how it is supposed to protect firetrucks, boats, and even airplanes. The $26-product entails with it unique characteristics which made it controversial and highly elusive.
The top car polish is noted for its one-time application only. Yes, it lasts for so long you need not to replace it after one application. Other than its resilience, it highly insulates the vehicle from external elements that will deem harmful to the paint job. It is known that about 25 layers of the Auto Polish/Finish will make the vehicle resistant from chips. It is also highly hydrophobic, that not even paint can stick with it. The gloss of the product as a result of its glass-like texture is exceptional, albeit application should be well taken care of in order to prevent swirls.
The Liquid Glass is also ergonomic, as you do not really have to take some effort in applying the car polish to your vehicle. You will only need to spread it with a cotton cloth, and then buff it with just the right amount of effort needed. Note however that you should do the process under the sun, as the peculiar product demands it to be 'baked' under the sun for about 4 hours or so.
Users are intrigued by it, saying that the 4.8-rated auto wax/polish is highly durable. They also remarked its ease of use, saying that they can apply and remove it just about in any conditions of the environment. They also said that they never had any problems with residues that typical products usually have as a by-product.
The initial cost of Liquid Glass Ultimate Auto Polish/Finish makes it a reason to not be your first choice. Will the cost hinder you from getting a product that is durable, resilient, and produces a glasslike appearance which, to top it all, will never demand any replacement? You decide.
Car Wax and Polish Buying Guide
It is not really difficult to select among the multitudes of products out there the best among the rest. Users just need to have a critical mind in determining which ones to patronize despite the continuous entry of newer and more high-tech products. In order to be critical, you need to keep in mind several considerations that shall help you tailor-fit your item according to what you really want for your vehicle. The next section will guide you from having a smart choice regarding your next purchase of car wax and polish, and the steps you need to undertake in order to maximize the potentials of the product you will have.
Types of Car Wax
- Natural Carnauba Wax – This type is a naturally-occurring wax derived from leaves of a palm tree from Brazil. This is ideal for vehicles that have a darker color, as the car wax gives a deep shine to its car paint. One should take note; however, that natural car wax only lasts for weeks. It cannot withstand extreme conditions, which makes it cheaper than the synthetic variables. It is best utilized for short-term usage only.
- Synthetic Wax – This is a variety that uses polymers that can bond to the paint. Synthetic wax can last to up to 12 months depending on the brand, and can withstand harsh external environment. However, the shine it provides cannot be compared to the shine that a natural wax can produce. The durability of the synthetic car wax makes it more preferable to consumers and showroom managers who want extreme protection to their vehicles.
Types of Car Polish
- Heavy Cut Polish – Heavy cut polish are designed to remove surface materials quickly. This is used for paints that have been exposed to sand abrasives, acid rains, or heavy scratching. Due to the aggressive nature of the product, this automotive polish leaves behind small scratches on its own, which will need further finishing polish. It should, however, be used cautiously.
- Medium Cut Polish – This type of automotive polish is used for light to medium scratches from the surface of your car. The product uses robust, precision-milled abrasives to cut thin layers of paint. It is also used to remove normal washing, drying, and wear & tear.
- Light Cut/Finishing Polish – Light cut polish is used for light swirls and scratches. It is also used to neutralize the effects of the heavy cut automotive polish and to bring back the shine from the paint after considerable time.
- Paint Cleansers – This type of polish uses chemical abrasives instead of the usual mechanical ones. Users can opt to have this automotive polish to remove oxidations, wax and sealants.
Major Considerations
It is best to know first your primary considerations in buying your next car wax and polish. You might be tempted to buy the most affordable brand or product, or you might be lured to purchase the ones with too many specs on its label, but you should keep in mind what you really need first according to the list provide below, so you will never have any regrets in any of your future patronage.
- Usage of the Car – In order to determine your next best wax for car, you need to know first the purpose of your car or the travel load it undergoes. If you are using your car under on a longer period, exposing it to the harsh elements of the roadside, you might want to invest on your wax and polish. Some more expensive wax and polish helps your vehicle paint from retaining scratches and dirt and keep it from being exposed ever again. If you are using the car for shorter periods of time, or are using it for leisure, some low-end, budget wax will suffice. You will only need to protect it from light exposures to harmful elements. If you are using the vehicle for a road show or for the showroom, you might need a light cut polish for any possible light swirls, but more high-end wax for extreme shine. By determining the purpose and usage of your vehicle, you'll get to have a product that should be worth your every penny.
- Material of the Vehicle/Paint – some materials might not be compatible with the composition of your wax and automotive polish. If you are dealing with a highly sensitive paint, you need to use finishing or medium polish only. If the paint has a thicker sheet, which can make scratches visible, you will need heavy cut polish. For vehicles with observable oxidations, it is best to use chemical-based paint cleansers.
- Budget – considering your budget does not mean opting for the cheapest car wax or polish out there. It simply means that you need to weigh in other factors before opting for that extra cost. If you are operating on a very tight budget, you obviously have to choose the cheapest ones that shall answer your immediate demand. If you have enough money, you should keep track of the additional features each product is getting as it gets more expensive. One product might have the same features as its more expensive counterparts, so always observe and be smart in purchasing.
- Wax-Polish Combination – If you are to buy a car wax, you should see to it that the product goes well with your car polish, and vice versa. This will ensure that your car paint gets its maximum shine through the proper combination of the two mentioned. Most wax and polish products of the same brand line go well with each other, but it does not have to be that way all the time. The products have to do well with each other or otherwise, you'll have an undesirable finish.
DIY Tips
Having the best car wax or the best car polish is not enough to keep your car paint at the top of its game. The preparation and application of the product to the affected surface should be taken with care as this is a crucial step in determining the output or finish of the entire process. Here are some of the DIY steps and tips you need to remember if you are to do it on the comfort of your own garage instead of bringing it to the retailer.
- Make sure that the vehicle has been washed all over, and dried. Before applying any car wax or polish, you need to keep the vehicle first from any agent that might render the polishing/waxing process useless, and that involves even the cleaning water used.
- Some brands demand specific types/brand of applicator pad. You have to keep track of the instructions on the container of the car wax or polish, as the specified type of applicator is crucial to maximizing the potential of the product.
- Apply the car polish and car wax evenly to the concerned surface. Take care of the direction of your application, as some products like Liquid Glass produces undesirable output when applied to the vehicle in a circular, spiraling manner. It is best to apply the product in a unitary direction.
- Take your time to stop and rinse off the foam pad when using a polishing wheel. This will prevent accumulation of compounds. Take note as well that the outer portion of your polishing wheel should be applied with enough automotive polish as these portions of the wheel generate more friction than the center – thus, might create scratches to areas of your surface if not given proper attention.
Your car deserves the best car wax and polish in the market. The harsh conditions on the road make your paint job dull and lackluster; in order to prevent it from keeping any scratch, swirls or oxidations, you have to determine first the extent of the damage, and then apply the appropriate type of automotive polish and car wax.
The wax and the polish serve the same purpose as the makeup products to the human face. The preparation, application and maintenance are equally as important to the success of the output and finish as the brand of the product itself. Keeping an eye on the welfare of your paint job manifests how you want it to look in public, and how you want to protect it in the long run.

Benefits Of Ghee
Anyone who has tasted Indian cuisine has probably noticed that they have a certain buttery, creamy taste in their food. It's almost like the Western butter, but it is different somehow. This difference in taste and texture is due to the fact that Indians do not use regular butter to flavor their food. Instead, they use their own version of it: ghee.
Ghee is actually a reduced version of regular butter. Known as "clarified butter‒Â, ghee is obtained when regular butter is melted, then simmered long enough for three layers to form: A top, watery layer which is disposed of, a solid yellow "butter-like‒ layer, and a milky solid layer at the very bottom. It is the middle layer that the Indians call their ghee.
Ghee is considered to be healthier than regular butter because in the process of simmering, many of the fats found in regular butter are removed. Also, since most of the liquid is also skimmed off during this process, ghee is known to have a more intense and creamy flavor and texture than regular butter. Since much of the liquid has been removed, ghee is known to have a longer shelf life than butter. You can actually keep ghee in room temperature for at least three weeks before it starts to go bad. You have to remember that when ghee was invented, there was no refrigerator back then, and the ghee had to be hardy enough to be kept for long periods of time without spoiling.
The benefits of ghee do not only rest in sensory delight! Since there is less fat in ghee, you can digest it more easily than regular butter. It will also deliver less cholesterol into your body than the regular stuff. Some people who are ghee fans will actually claim that eating ghee will aid in weight loss since the easier digestion will also aid in faster metabolism. Since you will be using ghee rather than the usual fat, oil, butter or other hydrogenated oils you use for cooking, you will also be lessening the risk of heart and liver disease.
Other health benefits for ghee include the fact that ghee does not contain salt (unlike many types of butter), so you are ingesting less sodium. For those who are lactose intolerant, ghee is a great fat option because ghee contains no lactose products. Even for chefs, there is a great advantage of ghee over butter. Ghee is known to have a higher smoking point than butter, and does not burn easily. So it is more convinient to use for cooking.
So if you're looking for something new that will whet your appetite, why not take a stroll into your local market and pick up some ghee? Taste and feel the difference for yourself, today!

Week of Caring at EC
East Coventry Elementary celebrated a Week of Caring this week! During February, students focused on understanding others. They collected snacks for OJR families and have been learning about many important African Americans for Black History Month. Each day this week had a different focus. The week kicked off with Manners Monday-focusing on being polite and using our manners ALL the time! On Compliment Tuesday students practiced giving each other compliments and understanding how good they make us feel. On Smile and Say Hi Wednesday students were encouraged to smile and say Hi to as many people as they could. Did you know that smiling is contagious?? On Happy Gram Thursday the kids had the opportunity to send a special note or picture to a friend during the day. Finally, Mix it Up Friday events included an awesome assembly, presentations by grade levels about the person they studied for black history month, dancing, a special message to a fellow student who cannot be in school right now, and conversation "hearts" at lunch to help kids learn something new about each other.

The date is Saturday, May 7th from 10:00am to 5:00pm in the High School Cafeteria. Our cafeteria will be transformed into a giant mattress show room where you can come to look at all kinds of quality mattresses, pillows, etc. You can purchase a mattress at a great price that day and our band will receive a portion of the proceeds as a fundraiser, so WIN / WIN!
Attached here is a save-the-date flyer. More information will be distributed in the near future. Mark your calendars…..even if you just want to swing by that day just to look at the available mattresses, we'd love to see you there on May 7th.
Thanks, everyone!

On February 24, 2016, at the Owen J. Roberts High School, Citadel representatives awarded High School teacher and student government advisor, Ms. Natalie Smith, the Citadel Heart of Learning Finalist Award for Owen J. Roberts School District.
The Citadel Heart of Learning Award was developed by Citadel and the Chester County Intermediate Unit 14 years ago to recognize, reward and thank the outstanding teachers we have in Chester County. The program has grown in such popularity that Citadel receives thousands of heartfelt nominations each year. This year, over 2,000 nominations were submitted.
Ms. Smith accepted the award, which included a custom blown glass trophy created by Glasslight Studio in St. Peter's Village. She accepted, complimenting the entire High School staff by saying, "Twelve years ago I made a decision to join the Owen J. Roberts team. It was the best decision I could ever have made both professionally and personally because I get to work with so many talented and helpful people." An excerpt from one of the nominations describing outstanding kindness Ms. Smith demonstrated to students was read. Ms. Smith will receive a $500 award to purchase supplies or other items for her classroom. The award trophy is custom made by Glasslight Studio, St. Peter's Village.
In May, finalists from all school districts in Chester County will gather at the banquet for final awards.

On average 122 business emails per user are sent and received every day – count 'em.
From reply-all round robins to enthusiastic cc-ers – we all too often start the day full of good intentions, fire up our emails – and before you know it our inboxes have sideswiped the morning, taking plans and productivity with them. When it comes to workplace communication who's really in charge here?
Owen Smith, Head of Product at The ADBL, gave us top 5 tips to resist the lure of the message alert tone and start email wrangling.
Reduce to zero follower Owen has pulled together insights he's drawn from email discipline gurus Eric Schmidt and Merlin Mann, and included tips and and learnings of his own.
They're quick wins, so you shouldn't be tempted to check your email before you get to the end.
1. Find your routine
Don't let email dictate your priorities. Start by breaking the habit.
Disable email notifications. Check in once a day, or once an hour – find what works for you – but make your own schedule for emails and take back control.
2. 'Process your inbox'
Mythbusters: the term 'inbox zero' is commonly thought to mean zero/close to zero emails, when actually it refers to reducing the brainpower required to work through your inbox.
When you decide to look at your inbox (see Tip 1), aim to 'process' it quickly first, then come back at a time you choose in order to tackle the hard ones.
Here's how you do it:
- Delete (go for it)
- Delegate (should someone else be doing this? Are you holding someone else back from getting it done?)
- Respond (if it's going to take less than two minutes to reply, go for it)
- Defer (for those emails that are going to take a little longer)
- Do (put something into action)
3. You need two folders
'Requires Response' and 'Archive' (everything else)
File as necessary. Let search do the rest.
4. Get to the point
Be nice, but be succinct. Relevant subject lines with keywords are not only a big help here, they make searching your folders from Tip 3 a lot easier. You probably don't need to over-explain in your emails either – your colleagues are all quite clever after all.
It might seem counter-intuitive, but consider if five shorter emails are better than a longer one with a big to-do list. There's nothing more satisfying than ticking/filing something off your to-do list, after all.
5. Keep learning from others
A company-wide scheme introduced at Daimler gave employees the option to use a feature which deletes any and all incoming emails whilst they're on leave, with an out of office informing the sender.
Decoded removed internal email entirely, and colleagues switched to Slack to communicate instead.
Look to external organisations for inspiration and ideas that could work for you.
So that's email sorted. Next up, meetings…
Have you got any email management tips of your own? Has your company launched a life-changing productivity initiative of its own? Share them below!

Whistler's Annunciation
By Ron. Lavalette
Mister Whistler looms
down the gloomy street,
hoping to meet the morning
but limps himself back home
before dawn.
When the sun
comes scrambling up at last
over the staring and eggy town,
sleepy in its early kitchens,
all the yellow curtains
in all the yellow windows
burst into Sunday flames
and fall, burning the countertops
and leaving their feeble yellow ash
on Mister Whistler's sad and
unswept morning floors.
Ron. Lavalette (Barton VT) has been widely published, both in print and online. A reasonable sample of his published work can be found at Eggs Over Tokyo. Ron. blogs at: Scrambled, Not Fried.

Rabbi Cooper, you're wrong (as quoted in the Los Angeles Times). I know we all make comparisons to Nazi Germany far too often, but this is a case in which it's appropriate. And though I was uncomfortable saying it loud, I refuse to sit by and not say anything. First, your rights are abrogated based on how you look. The... next step could well be, "All you foreigners who are here legally can wear this badge so we know who you are." It's a dangerous, slippery slope, and if we ignore this just because improper comparisons have been made before and we're afraid to tell it like it is, we're allowing evil to flourish.

Yesterday, Judge Cavanaugh entered an order, captioned Pre-Trial Order No. 1, consolidating civil actions Gradone v. Schering-Plough, et al. (Case No. 08-1432 (DMC), U.S. Dist. Ct. N.J.) and Oettinger v. Schering-Plough, et al. (Case No. 08-2436 (WJM), U.S. Dist. Ct. N.J.), for all purposes and appointing interim class counsel.
The consolidated cases have been re-named In re Schering-Plough Corp. ENHANCE ERISA LITIGATION (Case No. 08-1432 (DMC), U.S. Dist. Ct. N.J.).
Next-up is an order setting deadlines for the amended consolidated compaint, and any answer thereto. This order renders the then-overdue Schering answer deadlines, of last week, moot. They no longer matter.
