Ibrox Noise: Are Rangers under a dangerous and unexpected threat?
Are Rangers under a dangerous and unexpected threat?
There comes a point in a season where Rangers, Celtic, and these days Aberdeen have to open their eyes and start to accept that another team's good form isn't a flash in the pan, but is in fact that team's actual ability and that they may have become serious contenders for the top of the table.
Are Kilmarnock serious challengers for the title this season? It would be absolute arrogance to say no – we're deep now into January and they are justifiably in second place, having lost only four matches all season, the same as both Rangers and Celtic.
Naturally it's premature to say anything about their chances – but at what point does a Kilmarnock shifting around the top three and consistently remaining a contender change from being a team who just keep on hanging around to a team who could do a 'Leicester'?
Claudio Ranieri's side was a relegation candidate, just like Lee McCulloch's Killie, and the Italian took them to the title against Man City, Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal – it was no more or less likely than Killie beating both Rangers and Celtic to the prize.
This stuff does happen, and God forbid any Rangers, Celtic or even Aberdeen fan who dismisses Killie and their pies as a title contender 'just because they're Killie'.
Steve Clarke has worked astonishing wonders with the Rugby Park team, and their away record is extremely impressive as well – he might not play the most stunning football but by God it's effective and his players run through brick walls for him.
Are Killie really dark horses for the title? Yes, they are. Will they win it? Crazier things have happened in football and they're proving themselves time and time again.
This title race is shaping up as one of the best we've had in a long long time.
Of course they can. But I would go even further and say if Rangers don't get a result against Livingstone they can forget it. All things considered including cash, players, facilities Steve Clarke's tactics and drill is far ahead of anyone else in the league at this time. If Kilmarnock get a good run with few injuries they can decide which team does win the League. He seems to have a settled team with few personnel or tactical changes. Steve Gerrard are you listening.
When you're manager is Steve Clarke you always have a chance. Easily the best manager in Scotland. Time and time again his tactical ability shows the rest how it's done. And that's with a team whos tactics against the big clubs have to be about defending first and foremost. Imagine what he would do with the Rangers or Septic squad,budget and academy at his disposal..
Let's end the pain now. Rangers will not win the league this season. I've never thought for a moment that we would. Nor will Kilmarnock.
I'm a realist. We are building and not yet ready to win the league. It gives me no pleasure to say it and I'd happily be proved wrong but it's the truth.
Let's not get too carried away James. Kilmarnock are a distinctly average team who are superbly drilled by an outstanding manager. They are a great example of getting the most out of average players but they are not a great team. They hardly laid a glove on us last night other than the 2 goals that we gifted them.
Killie could won the league if they could believe in themselves. Steve Clarke is a manager I rate very highly and although hes reportedly a fan of the manky mob I would love for him to be given a chance at the famous.
I'v always been a big fan of stevie g and supporter of his. He knows how to get the players to win in games when teams attack however thus far he can't seem to find the answers for teams that park the bus. Steve Davis and defoe aren't the answer against these sort of teams. He needs to get in a guy that can spot the killer pass that sadly no one in the current side can. As much as I love the work rate and commitment of arfield he just can't seem to break these defences with a killer pass. Throwing balls into the box from the wings isn't the answer.
I don't think we'll win the title this year. There's just too many things wrong with the team. Love it if we do of course but it's unlikely.
I don't think anyone can deny the job that Clarke has done at Killie. But there's a glass ceiling at that club. And there's only so far he can take them. And it's not to the title. He has certainly got himself noticed though. And there are bigger and better jobs ahead for him. I hear the bricks are being set in place for him to replace Rodgers in the summer.

Home News What is a Mass Casualty Incident?
Through a live feed from Scioto Post, nearly 2 million people were reached concerning the incident at Ross Correctional Institution. We were the first newsgroup live, on-scene at the event, and began reporting as soon as we could, to notify our viewership of the event.
One issue that some viewers took issue with was the use of the term 'Casualty' in regards to the headlines involved in the event. We wanted to explain why we used the term and what it means.
At approximately 9:46 am, the Scioto Post was tipped off via a scanner service of an event at the "Ross Correctional Facility". We immediately dispatched a reporter, Jeremy, to the event, while another writer, Ben, prepared the byline for the live feed. Initial reports from our source termed the event as a "Mass Casualty Incident" or an MCI. Given time constraints, this was the term we used regarding the reported number of people affected at the facility.
In listening to scanner and other available outlets to the Scioto Post, we were told that there were approximately 40 people affected in this event and felt it best to use this number to express the size of the event, having prepared the headline approximately 5 minutes before our reporter was on the scene.
Initially, reports from the event put the total number of those transported to the hospital, as per OHSP was much lower, at approximately 13 people. The number was eventually revised upwards to a total of 28 people, which was lower than our initial estimate, but closer to the final total than other initial reports. When user comments questioned the usage of the term casualty, we revised the headline to state injuries, as well as updated totals to the incident as best we could. However, the nature of Facebook also means that not everyone can see the revised statement initially.
We do understand that one definition of casualty is "a person killed or injured in a war or accident." However, in this event, our staff understood it as to be the DeValle Institute has expressed as the definition of a Mass Casualty Incident, using the additional definition of casualty, which is as per Webster's Dictionary: "a person or thing badly affected by an event or situation.

Former Shark Breaks Into Wrestling
While former Onett crime kingpin Frank Fly claims to have gone straight, he and his gang are still known in the area. Despite his perfectly acceptable job at the local burger place, The Sharks are still known for their violent ways. Or at least one of them is. This former shark keeps all his Shark attire and wrestles in the NWA-TNA federation as the appropriately nicknamed "Shark Boy".
Shark Boy, who began wrestling shortly after The Sharks turned over a new leaf, has become a respected man among the business, with wrestling experience in WWE, WCW, WWA and a more prominent role in the relatively newer NWA-TNA. Shark Boy has held title after title during his prolific start in the wrestling business. He has a dedicated, almost cultish following. He continues to climb a step further up that ladder each year and at this rate, Shark Boy and his widely recognized mask will be household names in no time.
At 5'10", 180 pounds, Shark Boy is not a impounding force in the ring. He does not pound his opponents to victory, nor does he use gravity to defeat them in death-defying jumps, drop-kicks and other related stunts. Shark Boy is quick, but his strength lies in his mental game and his fundamentally sound wrestling style. Shark Boy takes wrestling to a whole new level, almost like a physical chess game. His array of moves of all types show that he is continuously improving while not detracting from the style that makes him successful and a fan favorite.
Shark Boy is a hero to many, to people of all ages. He is respected by his fellow wrestlers and by the wrestling experts. Look for more from this local legend since it looks like he won't be going anywhere but up. Shark Boy is getting everything he deserves and is exactly what the wrestling industry needs today.

Congress OKs Deal to Finish Over-budget Denver VA Hospital

Associated Press | By Dan Elliott
DENVER -- Congress approved a deal on Wednesday to let the Veterans Affairs Department complete a vastly over-budget medical center outside Denver, ending months of uncertainty about the future of the ambitious project.
The VA can now shift the $625 million it needs to finish the hospital from other accounts within its budget. But the deal strips the department of the authority to manage big construction projects in the future and gives it to the Army Corps of Engineers -- a change that angry lawmakers demanded to avoid a repeat.
"It's hard for me to tell you how happy I am," said Steve Rylant, a member of the United Veterans Committee of Colorado, a coalition of groups that pressed to complete the project. "I just want to go outside and jump up and down."
The half-finished hospital in the Denver suburb of Aurora is expected to cost nearly $1.7 billion, almost triple last year's estimate. The Corps of Engineers blamed the overruns on multiple design changes and a decision by VA officials to use a complicated contract process they didn't fully understand.
Colorado's congressional delegation expressed relief that the VA finally has the authority to finish after a series of stop-gap measures that slowed the pace of construction to a crawl. If Congress hadn't acted, the project would have run out of money soon, bringing work to a halt, causing more delays and pushing up costs.
"I feel good about the path we're on," said Republican Rep. Mike Coffman, whose district includes the medical center.
Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter said construction had been mismanaged but needed to be finished. "I am pleased Congress is finally doing its part to finish this project," he said in a written statement.
The 184-bed medical center is a collection of a dozen large interconnected buildings that would replace an old, overcrowded facility in Denver.
Ralph Bozella, who gets treatment and the old hospital, called it outdated and dreary.
"It's flat-out depressing to be in there," Bozella said. A brighter, airier facility will put patients in better spirits, "and that can only enhance the healing process," he said.
The VA faces further scrutiny from Congress on how it shuffles its budget to pay for the hospital. The deal requires the department to submit details to the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees.
Florida Republican Rep. Jeff Miller, chairman of the House committee, said Wednesday that $200 million of the VA's proposed transfers could hurt medical care and delay other projects.
Miller was also unhappy the VA's plan doesn't promise that employees responsible for the problems will be held accountable. VA officials say they're investigating and will act on any misconduct they find.
The VA issued a statement again taking responsibility for the problems and promising to do better.
"We know we made mistakes in the development of this medical center, but we remain steadfast in our commitment to complete the state-of-the-art facility for Colorado veterans and doing so while being good stewards of taxpayer dollars," the statement said.

"I believe in the power of people helping people and making a difference in another's life," says Annie Kohut. After moving to Oakville, Annie was in search of a volunteer position similar to the one she had when she lived in Windsor and volunteered at the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre. Annie drove by Wellspring Birmingham Gilgan House, and curiosity brought her through the doors. "I applied with the attitude that I am giving you my time and my heart and you can put me anywhere," says Annie. "It was the perfect fit and I have been volunteering here ever since." Annie began as a front desk volunteer in 2005 and since then has also volunteered with peer support, outreach, fundraising events and as a member of the Paeds and Parents committee.

Sandia National Laboratories: Successful sounding rocket campaign advances hypersonic weapon tech for Navy, Army
Sandia's High Operational Tempo for Hypersonics team successfully executed another flight test campaign to inform hypersonic weapon design for the U.S. Navy and Army. The team flew two precision sounding rockets carrying a total of 24 experiments Oct. 26-27 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
The flight campaign supported the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike and the Army's Long Range Hypersonic Weapon offensive programs. The Missile Defense Agency also gathered data from the tests to help develop defensive systems against hypersonic weapons.
The pair of launches is the second campaign for the Sandia team, which executed its first campaign in October 2021. Over the yearlong course of the campaign, the team designed and flew an entirely new three-stage sounding rocket, launched in a highly depressed trajectory intended to represent the hypersonic boost-glide flight path of larger, more expensive weapons systems.
"This vehicle was a revolutionary success, spending approximately one minute above Mach 9 in a relevant altitude band, which is an unprecedented accomplishment for a sounding rocket," said Ben English, who leads the High Operational Tempo for Hypersonics team. The vehicle survived a total of 85 seconds in a relevant flight environment.
The other rocket followed a more traditional, high-arc, lofted trajectory but included numerous advanced flight sequencing events orchestrated to facilitate critical demonstrations for its onboard payloads.
"Our team did a fantastic job raising an already high bar set from last year's campaign," Ben said. "Sandia has a long history supporting complex flight tests, including extensive contributions to hypersonics development, and the incredible efforts of this team throughout this campaign have brought another highly effective tool into our nation's testing and development arsenal. What that means for the Labs is that I can talk to potential sponsors or partners who are getting more interested in these kinds of high-intensity flights and say without hesitation, 'Yeah, we can do that.'"
Sounding rocket programs at Sandia date back to atmospheric nuclear weapons tests in the 1950s. During those experiments, several rockets carrying scientific instruments would record data about atomic blasts. The current rockets, on the other hand, help to rapidly mature hypersonic systems technologies, such as a nose tip provided by Oak Ridge National Laboratory incorporating advanced materials.
The frequency and affordability of the sounding rocket launches helps these technologies grow more mature before the Navy and Army programs field a final weapon system design, according to a Navy news release.
"Several of the payloads flown on these tests will transition directly to tactical weapon systems upgrades based on the pedigree and demonstrated performance observed on these flights," Ben said.
Other payloads, including navigation and communications equipment, were provided by Conventional Prompt Strike, the Missile Defense Agency, the Army Hypersonic Program Office, the Joint Hypersonic Transition Office, Sandia, the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University and several defense contractors.
Sandia is the lead research agent for the common hypersonic missile that will be fielded by both the Navy and Army with tailored launchers. The Labs designed the common hypersonic glide body that is attached to a rocket booster and launched into the upper atmosphere before gliding to a target at more than five times the speed of sound.

Scroll through above for the best soups in NYC!
Our winter diet is essentially one of two things: extremely comforting soups or something of the alcoholic persuasion…a liquid diet if you will. We love a good salad in the summer and will never give up our post-workout smoothie, but for lunches this season, we're turning to soups to keep us warm and satisfied.
A giant bowl of soup with a thick hunk of bread is way more satiating in winter than a plate of cold lettuce ever could be. Scroll through above for the thirty best soups in the city; you're going to want to cozy up with them all weekend long.
Feel like making soup at home? Check out our favorite soup recipes, and pair them with an inexpensive wine.

Although it would have been interesting to photograph any wildflowers brave enough to pop up through the snow, I haven't been too inspired to go on any wildflower walks in the chilly April we've been having. However, things have warmed up nicely and our fields are filling up with dandelions, spring beauties, violets and bluets. Up in the woods, the May apples are sprouting everywhere although they won't bloom until May.
On today's brief walk along the creek, I saw countless spring beauties and cut-leaved toothworts. The trout lilies are up too. I like their nickname: adder's tongue.
The photo at the top of this page is a spring beauty. They are everywhere, with colors ranging from white to almost purple. Deer must not like to eat them as opposed to our domesticated lily leaves which must be a favorite deer snack.
John, our operations manager, went morel hunting yesterday. He's got a patch he's watching closely. Hocking County will get a lot of rain today and tomorrow, with further warming, so they ought to start sprouting like crazy later this week. Happy hunting, John!
Call John at 614-499-8205 to book one of these great deals. Two day minimum, pets are welcome!
Last Saturday (or lasterday as granddaughter Molly would say), Dave and I hiked the portion of the Buckeye Trail that runs between the rappelling area parking lot on Big Pine Rd. and Unger Rd. If you continue on, you reach Old Man's Cave. We stopped at Unger Rd. and turned around to go back. In total we hiked 5 miles.
The weather was beautiful with a very unseasonable 60 degree temperature. We saw only two other people on the trail. Except for rappellers, we rarely run into much "traffic" in this area. In this section, the Buckeye Trail is also a bridle trail for most of the distance. We saw no horses or even evidence of horses yesterday.
To start, park at the rappelling area parking lot on Big Pine Road. It's just a short distance past the entrance to Conkle's Hollow. Cross the road, and look for the Buckeye Trail blue blazes on trees. Cross the bridge over the creek, then turn left at the registration stand to start the trail. Just follow the blue blazes up the hill, past and through some really cool rock formations. When you see a 3 sided horse tie, you're at the top.
Walk a little toward the horse tie, then turn around to look back and to the right. You should be able to see the Table Rock formation. Walk back a little toward where you exited the rocks, then turn left to continue on Buckeye Trail and along the top of the rappelling area. The trail needs some better marking because it is not clear where you should walk. By the way, this is not an area to bring little kids. In some places, the trail is close to the edge of the cliff.
Just keep going. Eventually the bridle trail splits off but you will rejoin it in a little while. After the trail turns away from the cliffs, it travels through a logged area that has been replanted with baby trees. Keep to the left and do not follow the logging road on the right. Although you will end up on Unger Road, it is not the Buckeye Trail. Unfortunately, this is exactly what we did! That logged area was disorienting.
As I mentioned, following this trail out and back is about 5 miles. There is a lot of uphill at the beginning but it is not a truly strenuous trail. It has some beautiful rock formations and a lovely hemlock forest. and it is seldom seen by most visitors to the Hocking Hills.
Last Friday, Dave, Carolyn (daughter and wife of John) and I hiked up into the woods to retrieve trail cam photos. Carolyn had set this up on top of the hill (not near the trail our guests use). She had selected this location because it is remote from other trails and dwellings and because she had noticed places where deer were bedding down and rubbing their antlers. Look below for a few of the many great pictures she got.
it was great to see our Bode dog follow us up the hill and then around the whole Marsh Hollow loop trail. His age has been slowing him down so he doesn't hike much anymore. John and Carolyn's dog Frank is the new dog hiker in our family and he is always ready and willing to go.
We plan to extend our trail to the top of the hill over the winter. Then Carolyn will have to find a new location for her camera!
We've had a few struggles with the sleep sofa at Shadyside. The sleep sofa itself wasn't often used, but guests have spent a lot of time on the sofa. To make a long story short, this week we replaced the sleep sofa with a gorgeous, comfy sofa that matches the red check upholstered rocker already at Shadyside. We know our guests will love it!
For the third, or extra, bed we need to provide, we purchased a Serta EZ bed. We guarantee it will be more comfortable than the sleep sofa. However, guests will need to let us know that they need the 3rd bed when they make a reservation.
And here is the current Hocking Hills Tourism Association's WEEKEND UPDATE.
I had fun yesterday helping the Laurelville Elementary pre-school class visit the Apple House, run by the Laurelville Fruit Farm, which is just a short walk away from the school. I guess it's an annual treat for the littlest students to take a tour and get an apple cider slushie. After enjoying the sweet treat, we visited the cold room, which lives up to its name, to see stacks upon stacks of apple containers. Then we got to see the apple sorter, which kicks out apples considered too small for sale and these are the ones that get crushed into cider. We saw the machinery for that process but it wasn't running while we were there so the little people were not that impressed.
The Laurelville Fruit Farm is a family owned and run operation – for over 100 years. Some of their trees are not far from Marsh Hollow, atop the next ridge over. The Apple House is open 8 am to 5 pm 7 days a week. closed in the winter and is located on State Route 56 in Laurelville. Great peaches in the summer.
I've visited the Apple House several times this September but did not pick up nearly enough Honey Crisp apples. Now they are out of these absolutely delicious sweet, crsip apples. However, they have plenty of other tasty varieties so be sure to stop by while you are in the Hocking Hills. And don't forget to pick up some cider too!
Finally, here is the Hocking Hills Tourism Association's WEEKEND UPDATE just in time to plan your Hocking Hills adventures for this week and beyond.

I quitted already close to a year (sadly i know), and i do have to say about this guy, every word that Adrien is saying is exactly the truth, this guy is rude like you got no idea and yes he was in Aequitus then we merge to Adrenaline and then back to Triumph, after that i made the mistake (yes) to listen to this guy and i end it up lossing a good friend which was Adrien, also yeah like some of these guys say 'people change', trust me i am the 1st person who always believe in that and i still do, but i gave 3 changes to this guy, and Adrien can either back me up for that, i gave 3 changes by joining back and he end it up being the same nasty/rude guy all 3 ocaccions, his gf is just alike so no change at all.

Section 313 Recording of Licenses, Security Interests, and Documents Other Than Assignments
In addition to assignments and documents required to be recorded by Executive Order 9424, upon request, assignments of applications, patents, and registrations, and other documents relating to interests in patent applications and patents will be recorded in the Office. See 35 U.S.C. 261 and 37 CFR 3.11. Other documents affecting title to applications, patents, and registrations will be recorded as provided in 37 CFR Part 3 or at the discretion of the Director. 37 CFR 3.11(a).
In addition to documents that constitute a transfer or change of title, other documents relating to interests in patents or applications will generally be recorded. Typical of these documents which are accepted for recording are license agreements and agreements which convey a security interest. Such documents are recorded in the public interest in order to give third parties notification of equitable interests or other matters relevant to the ownership of a patent or application. Documents that are not accepted for recording include attorney's liens against patents or patent applications. See In re Refusal of Assignment Branch to Record Attorney's Lien, 8 USPQ2d 1446 (Comm'r Pat. 1988).
Any document returned unrecorded, which the sender nevertheless believes represents an unusual case which justifies recordation, may be submitted to the Office of Petitions with a petition under 37 CFR 1.181 requesting recordation of the document.
The recordation of a document is not a determination of the effect of the document on the chain of title. The determination of what, if any, effect a document has on title will be made by the Office at such times as ownership must be established to permit action to be taken by the purported assignee in connection with a patent or an application. See MPEP § 324 and § 325.

Many die on the streets of Itaewon

The aftermath of the halloween activities in Itaewon
On October 29, 156 people died while 198 were injured in the crowd surge of almost 100,000 people in South Korea's Itaewon, the hotspot of nightlife for South Koreans and foreign visitors. Many victims were reported to be in their 20s, while 26 were found to be foreigners.
Itaewon, the destination for many participants in Halloween festivities for the night, quickly became packed with tens of thousands of people wanting to experience the trendy restaurants and clubs – a little normalcy after the lift of the strict COVID-19 restrictions from the past two years.
Soon this became one of the worst peacetime disasters the nation has faced in decades.
Following several hours and reports of the tragedy, the country's President, Yoon Suk-yeol, held an emergency meeting with his administration and called for an investigation into the cause of the incident. Yoon declared a nationwide mourning period from October 30 to November 5 and visited the scene the next day.
During the mourning period, the country has come to a moment of silence from their daily customs. National television programs have postponed their weekly airing. Celebrities have shown their respect through media platforms and the cancellation of their scheduled performances, concerts, and events. The streets of Itaewon that once blasted K-pop have since been quiet, with tributes being paid through the white chrysanthemums, notes, and additional items to honor the ones passed. The alleyway of the located tragedy has remained closed all week, with the stores and restaurants in the area voluntarily closing for the coming days.
With the police failing to protect the numerous victims that day, President Yoon is held in contempt by Korean citizens for inadequate security. A few days before the tragedy, the candlelight protest occurred near the Seoul municipal government office on October 22, rallying for Yoon's resignation upon various accusations and claims.
The crowd crush has fueled the growing inadequacy of his time in office.
Despite weeks passing from the date of the incident, South Korea is still recovering from the historic disaster and continues to mourn for the 156 victims.

Aerospace Museum Of California Set To Reopen Outdoor Exhibits
Filed Under:California Aerospace Museum, Coronavirus Activities, Coronavirus Reopening
MCCLELLAN PARK (CBS13) — It's a small step towards the new normal, but a giant leap for the Aerospace Museum of California, which plans to take flight with its outdoor exhibits on Thursday.
"We're really excited that the governor's guidelines are allowing outdoor museums to open," Cheryl Holkan, Museum Experience Director for the Aerospace Museum of California, said.

People will be able to roam the four-and-a-half-acre park with a mask and social distancing, seeing all sorts of aircraft that made our country's space dreams a reality, even some flown by Neil Armstrong himself. Visitors who don't have a mask can buy one for a dollar at the museum.
The museum sent a notice encouraging people to purchase tickets ahead of time using their online system. It also said it will not be accepting cash at this time and that only credit and/or debit card transactions are accepted. The admission prices are $7 for anyone four years and older. Kids under three and active duty military get in free.
But, only 400 visitors can be in the outdoor lot at a time and no inside attractions are open. If capacity is reached, people looking to enter the airpark will have to until a party of their sizes leaves.
READ ALSO: Is Reopening A Restaurant Worth It?
"The capacity of the airpark is around 5,000 people so it's less than eight percent," Holkan said.
The museum feels this will better improve social distancing as well as their training as they near full flight.

"We've trained our staff to have spaces in the museum and speak to the six people groups one at a time. And ask people to come back later; we aren't allowed to give tours yet," Holkan said.
Some folks can't wait to have another venue be ready for lift-off.
"Oh, it's going to be great! As long as people can do their distance, I think it's going to be really good, especially for the kids," Diane Benton said.
"That sounds fabulous. I believe that the country should reopen and business should continue," Ilona Mukha said.
Space is on plenty of people's minds with the Space X launch that was supposed to happen on Thursday. It has since been delayed due to weather and is expected to happen on Saturday.
The museum hopes their outdoor reopening will broaden people's own horizons.
"Not as many people come out to a museum on the outskirts of Sacramento," Holkan said. "A lot of the museums are downtown. We're really hoping that this will get the rest of the area that we are here."

The restrooms in the inside museum are open to visitors. The gift shop will be closed but, there will be an outside kiosk. The outdoor portion will be open from Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If a product is eco-friendly and made with essential oils, I am all over it! I was recently introduced to ZAYA, a Canadian skin care brand that produces natural oil blends that are skin part specific, targeting areas such as the face, eyes, hair, nails, belly and the one I have to share with you today, the Body Oil Blend*. Most of the oils used are organic and you can rest assured that their blends are free of mineral oil, synthetic fragrances and are cruelty free and vegan. Their products are also categorized by 'lifestyles' or moods, including serene, charismatic, alluring, flirty, majestic and playful, under which the Body Oil Blend falls.
I am not a big grapefruit fan so I was really intrigued to find out how I would get along with this mixture. The ingredient list includes sweet almond oil, rice bran oil, macadamia nut seed oil, wheat germ oil, avocado oil, castor seed oil, pink grapefruit essential oil and rosemary essential oil, that's it! Let's just say the scent exceeded my expectations: this blends smells like oranges, very sweet and citrus-y in my opinion. I've been using it on my damp skin after showering, even applying it on my face. I then slip on my robe until my skin has soaked it all in. As you can probably imagine, my skin not only smells delicious but is left looking extra glowing and moisturized between washes. With regular use, you can expect firmer skin and even a reduction in stretch marks, which I have noticed after using it for only one month.
ZAYA's oil blends are suitable for all skin types and come packaged in a beautiful cardboard box made entirely from recycled paper and printed with soy ink. It is reusable as the pull-out design makes it great to store little trinkets - I've added it to my jewellery drawer where it now holds my bracelets. Not only is this a great treat for yourself, but it would make a lovely gift, too!
ZAYA's Body Oil Blend can be purchased directly on their website and retails for C$46.00.
Never heard of this care brand.
I adore rosemary and pink grapefruit essential oil. I bet they smell fantastic mixed!
I love a good body oil, especially in the winter. Sometimes I have to layer body butter and oil for extra suppleness. This one looks good and it's natural so even better!
It sounds like a great product. And I do like grapefruit so it might be a good product for me to try.

Curtis Jones to Become Liverpool's Youngest Ever Captain Against Shrewsbury
The 19-year-old Scouser will get his name in the record books in tonight's FA Cup replay.

As with the League Cup tie against Aston Villa back in December, today's FA Cup fourth round replay against Shrewsbury Town is something of a conundrum. In theory, on paper, it's a first team match. But in practice, it's going to be the U23s.
The kids, at Anfield, with the stadium sold out (again, at least on paper) in a match that could have a real impact in whether the senior Reds lift a(nother) trophy this season. It's a bit of an odd one. Oh, and Curtis Jones is going to be the captain.
"Self-belief is probably not one of his weaknesses, but that is also why he is who he is," manager Neil Critchley noted of Jones, who will become the club's youngest ever captain when the 19-year-old Scouser leads the side out of the tunnel.
Critchley had also considered giving the armband to U23 old hand Pedro Chirivella, but the chance for a history-making turn for the local lad proved too good a storyline for the reserve manager to pass up and meant Jones will get the armband.
"He'll be looking forward to the game tomorrow, make no doubt about that," Critchley added. "I think a few of the other players will be as well. They've had some experience of these types of game this season: Arsenal, Everton, Aston Villa.
"So I think that little bit of experience will help, even though it's maybe ridiculous to talk about experience when Curtis has only turned 19 and we're going to have players who are eligible to play in the under-18s."

Te Luo Si raise the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword, the ice cold sword shimmered in purple glow, as if an overwhelming mighty purple dragon is on it.
Weapon also has different ranks.
The ranks commonly known by people are common grade, fine-grade, Ji grade, Ya Sheng grade, Sheng grade, and the best, Tian wang grade.
Higher grade weapon has stronger power.
Among different type of weapon, sword is the mainly the one people use. Emperor grade sword are scarce, while there isn't a lot of Sheng grade weapon, there is one in Langya city, which is this Lightning Spirit Saint Sword.
Xie Aoyu narrowed his eye, shimmered with cold light.
He is of earth, lightning, wood element, and the sword right in front of him is a lightning element, also it is a Sheng grade. It is easy to guess what Xie Aoyu was thinking in his mind.
"Nice sword, I like it." Xie Aoyu smiled.
What he said made Te Luo Si shook, Bing Wu wasn't even his opponent, someone lower in rank than him, plus he has the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword, if Te Luo Si can kill Bing Wu easily, what can Xie Aoyu even do?
Unless he finally could cultivated Dou Qi?
No way, he could not have, he always been secretly observing, he definitely never cultivate any Dou Qi. It must be him trying to delay the time while think of a way to escape. Te Luo Si coldly laughs, "You liked it, but i'm afraif you won't keep your life to like it." He brandishes his sword to cut out once more.
A cut flew out, following which a purple glow flashed.
Sheng grade weapon has an advantage.
It does not require much Dou Qi to display an astonishing striking power.
"I will deal with him." Xie Aoyu push Bing Wu aside gently.
Bing wu who was thinking of attacking again felt an overwhelming power, her body was like a piece of cotton as she was push back 5-6 meters.
On the other hand Xie Aoyu lightly stepped to the left to dodge.
That attack could be dodge this easily.
Te Luo Si also discovered a problem, he violently step on the ground, explosively shot out, rushing towards Xie Aoyu with the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword cutting down fiercely.
"BE CAREFUL!" Bing Wu who was somewhat worried called out in alarm.
Xie Aoyu is very clear, this is murder, and not a spar. The best way to strike with killing intention, thus he secretly prepared the Dragon Overlord fist, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Facing the fierce Te Luo Si, his body flashed.
Like a ghost he weaved about through Te Luo Si's attack.
If one was to say Te Luo si's attack is like the raging ocean, raising storm everywhere, then Xie Aoyu would be the small boat in the storm, moving along the wind, and will not be submerged by the storm.
Purple sword flashed, forming the sword's afterimage everywhere. He has confirmed that Xie Aoyu could cultivate Dou Qi, moreover his strength isn't low at all, it is much stronger.
That sword was swung in a never-ending assault.
Xie Aoyu only dodges, while at the same time observing the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword, regardless of its strength or its design were both very pleasing. The only that displeases him was that he was not the user of the sword.
Seeing things not going well, Te Luo Si felt somewhat worried. This is Langya city, it has been dominated by Xie family years ago, thus staying long would definitely cause him to be discovered by others.
So he used a killing move.
Just then, the moment he used his killing move, Xie Aoyu attacked first with his fist, not giving any opportunity to him. The peerless and overbearing attack from the Dragon Overlord fist was sent.
A fist was sent, followed by a giant fist shadow.
That shadow seems to have a silhouette of a fierce and a tyrant dragon as its body. It seemed like the fist was a dragon egg containing the dragon.
Trying to used his killing move, Te Luo Si failed to Xie Aoyu as Xie Aoyu sends the fist out.
That terrifying fist landed on Te Luo Si's chest.
This fist actually pierced through Te Luo Si's chest, making a huge hole appeared. All his internal organ and blood starts to fall out of his body. Te Luo Si stared, eye wide open at Xie Aoyu, unable to believe what just happened as he slowly fell.
The Lightning Spirit Saint Sword also fell along with Te Luo Si.
He used his finger to flicker the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword, immediately one could hear "dang dang" sounds, as the sword quivered, a somewhat cold wind seems blow.
"Aoyu, you, you" even Bing Wu was completely stunned.
Her delicate body had long been developed, hugging Xie Aoyu jumping up and down made her chest rub Xie Aoyu's chest, which in turn gave Xie Aoyu a very intense male reaction.
Bing Wu felt her uncomfort from her lower abdomen. Lowering her head, an embarrassed scream could be heard.
"hehe , I'm also a man." Xie Aoyu laughed dryly.
"Letcher." Bing Wu said as her hand slapped it. She the turned around and ran.
"What are you going to do if it broke." Xie Aoyu said while covering his crotch.
The embarrassed Bing Wu ran even faster.
He took the space ring off Te Luo Si's finger.
The binding force on the ring has been removed, thus he examined the items inside. Inside includes a few Dou technique, it was a pity that Xie Aoyu did not take a liking to them.
He tidied up the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword, wanting to leave, but felt a person's shadow, as if someone probably ran away.
His speed coupled with Dou Qi is terrifying.
Beside the time with Bing Wu, on the way to the newly opened restaurant to eat, very few pedestrian appeared to pass by here, thus not many blocked him and he very quickly caught up.
This is the dog of Xie Zhe, Xie Gang.
Xie Gang saw Xie Aoyu discovered him, thus he ran away with his life.
With him running this fast, clearly he saw me killing Te Luo Si, since he already saw it Xie Aoyu's heart twitched, he already thought about the problem.
If he did not see. Xie Qian will sure think he will be easy to bully, and not ran, but more likely to look trouble with him.
At the same time, another question arose in Xie Aoyu's mind.
Since this place is extremely remote, what are the chances for Xie Qian to be here and coincidentally, saw Te Luo Si come to kill him? A thought flashed through Xie Aoyu's mind.
This past year, even though he had continuously trained hard, he was still aware of the happenings that occured within Xie family. That is few people of his generation were killed, even Xie Lian went to him personally to warn him not to go out as much.
After seeing Xie Gang, he discovered an issue.
Those who were killed in Xie family, more or less had grievances with both Xie Zhe and Xie Gang.
This train of thought made Xie Aoyu's murderous intent rise.
He took out his Lightning Spirit Saint Sword.
The Lightning Spirit Saint Sword emitted a sharp sound as it travels through the air.
Xie Gang who was running for his life heard the sound and turned his head to look. Scared for his life, he use much effort to dodge towards his left while the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword slightly cutting his left rib.
A trace of blood appeared, fresh blood starts flowing freely.
Xie Qian screamed in pain.
In a flash, Xie Aoyu leapt over, placing one of his foot on Xie Gang, stepping on him.
"SPEAK! Why are you here?" Xie Aoyu picked up the Lightning Spirit Saint Sword, place it horizontal to Xie Gang's neck as he coldly asked. The Lightning Spirit Saint Sword sends out chills that frighten Xie Qian to the point of him trembling.
"I, I" Xie Gang sweated profusely.
A scratch appeared on xie Gang's neck and blood started flowing.
"If i speak, you will let me live?" Xie Gang said while trembling.
The sixth elder is Xie Aoyu's father, Xie Qian.

Hardware and software based RAID can be used together to form an invaluable tool to protect data against loss as well as accelerate I/O throughput.
As illustration, you can use hardware based RAID 1 and software based RAID 0 to construct a RAID 0 + 1 disk array. The advantage is that, when system is running properly, you can enjoy the high performance of multiple hard drives stripped software RAID 0. In case any member of redundant disk array fails, hardware based RAID 1 will immediately take action. System can run as usual. The OS's software RAID 0 will not aware of anything wrong. But hardware RAID 1 will notify system manager via e-mail alert function. Besides, when the failed member of hard drives is replaced, not only the on-lining rebuilding recovery function of hardware RAID 1 will immediately take off but the software RAID 0 can still run as usual.


Friends of Gomer, do y'all like my new wallpaper in my bedroom? It says, "Lowes: Never Stop Improving." Totally motivational and romantic. My man finished doing the house wrap around the exterior walls inside of our bedroom. Our walls are solid wood. People are always wanting us to keep that look. Those people are crazy. You can feel the wind from the outside through those cracks. Next up for our room is foam and sheetrock. It's pure glamour over here. Send help, Abba. Send windows.
We took the guest bed out of the guest room so I can work on the floors. I started filling the cracks in with twine and putty. The bed went in to my girls room. If you remember, they (and some guests) broke their metal frame and had been sleeping on the mattresses on the floor. The bed looks beautiful in their room. It was given to my grandmother when she married my grandfather. It's close to a hundred years old. I stained and refinished it many moons ago.
My man made a cross out of the antique wood from the ceiling. Let me know if you would like one. I can do multiple wood colors or all one color. We can paint on it or leave the beautiful wood as it is. I can also add a ribbon to hang it from. They are $25. All proceeds benefit Gomer's House.
We were blessed to give away some donated venison to our neighbors this week.
Thank you for your prayer, love, and support. It is such gift to give away what we are given.
I'm looking for a new bed for the guest room. If you see something like this, let me know.

BALCH HARDY FILES BANKRUPTCY
By Barry B. Burr
NEW YORK - Balch Hardy Scheinman & Winston Inc. filed for bankruptcy to dissolve the firm in the face of a $4.4 million court judgment.
A New York state court jury ordered Balch Hardy to pay nearly $4.4 million to Richard J. Brignoli and Brignoli Models Inc. for breach of contract in the use of an options overwriting model.
R. Steven Hardy, principal who oversees marketing, said the firm won't attempt to reorganize and has no plans to appeal the award.
The last half-dozen or so of Balch Hardy's clients terminated their accounts following the verdict in November by a jury in the Supreme Court of New York, which is the primary trial court in the state.
The clients included the Houston Retirement System, Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension System, San Bernardino (Calif.) County Employees' Retirement Association and the Spencer Foundation, Chicago.
At the beginning of last year, Balch Hardy had only $150 million under management in an equity strategy it called Wealthmax, and it appeared to have little under management in options overwriting. At a peak in 1990, the firm wrote options on $2.2 billion in assets that were managed by others and had $300 million under management in its then-new Wealthmax equity strategy.
Balch Hardy filed Jan. 21 in federal bankruptcy court in New York for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The filing followed Mr. Brignoli's rejection of offers to settle for a reduced amount in view of the lack of assets or capital in the firm to pay the full award.
"They were all very reasonable settlement proposals on the table he (Mr. Brignoli) refused to consider," said Christine Reddington, attorney with the New York law firm of Jacobson & Triggs, the Balch, Hardy counsel.
Russell D. Munves, attorney with the New York law firm of Storch Amini Munves, the Brignoli counsel, agreed.
"Let me assure you, we were not an impediment to a settlement," he said. "But it was Mr. Brignoli's decision."
"Based on the bankruptcy filing, it doesn't look like they (Balch Hardy) will realize anything near that ($4.4 million) amount" to pay Mr. Brignoli, added Mr. Munves, who said his law firm worked on a contingency-fee basis.
In negotiations to settle the judgment, Mr. Brignoli at one point proposed Balch Hardy pay him $500,000 cash and give him 50% of the equity in the firm.
Balch Hardy countered by offering $300,000 cash and 100% of the equity.
Mr. Brignoli said he turned down the proposal because the firm all but ceased to exist because of the loss of its remaining clients.
Mr. Hardy, as well as Ms. Reddington, doubt the sale of the firm's assets, including an equity management model and its Style Advisor portfolio analysis software, will come near to satisfying the judgment.
Mr. Brignoli said he will seek to sue personally the four principals of Balch Hardy - William F. Balch, Peter W. Scheinman, Kenneth Winston and Mr. Hardy - for any amount he doesn't collect out of the bankruptcy proceedings, asserting they fraudulently transferred revenue from the firm to themselves in the form of excess compensation in order to leave the firm with as little capital as possible.
Mr. Hardy denied any fraudulent conveyance.
"Our bankruptcy guys couldn't believe Mr. Brignoli wouldn't settle, because he'll get nothing" out of the bankruptcy because of Balch Hardy's lack of assets, said Mr. Hardy.
The jury ordered Balch Hardy to pay Mr. Brignoli and Brignoli Models $3.3 million to cover the portion of the revenue Mr. Brignoli should have been paid, dating from 1980 through last November.
With interest, the judgment calls for Balch Hardy to pay a total of $4.4 million, consisting of $2.6 million to Brignoli Models and $1.8 million to Mr. Brignoli.
In the bankruptcy, Balch Hardy has three main assets it could sell: An options overwriting model, whose value is now in dispute because of the outcome of the suit with Mr. Brignoli; an equity management model, called Wealthmax; and consulting-type analytical personal computer software, called Style Advisor.
"We never took the lawsuit seriously," Mr. Hardy said. "Had we been concerned about the suit, we would not have put Wealthmax" or Style Advisor in BHSW.
Both products were developed after Mr. Brignoli filed his original breach of agreement suit in 1986. In fact, Balch Hardy won the original case, in a Supreme Court of New York jury trial, in 1990. But Mr. Brignoli got a new trial after he won an appellate court ruling to throw the verdict out because of a judicial error in the trial.
Mr. Hardy said he is planning to bid in the bankruptcy proceedings for the Style Advisor and start his own firm to market that product. But he said his plans are indefinite.
Mr. Balch, who founded the firm with Mr. Hardy in 1973, plans to retire from the industry, Mr. Hardy said. Mr. Balch was unavailable for comment.
Mr. Scheinman, who joined the firm in 1977, declined to comment.
Mr. Winston, who left Brignoli Models to join Balch Hardy in 1989, resigned from the firm in December, following the verdict.
He developed the Wealthmax equity model for Balch Hardy, giving it to the firm in exchange for 25% ownership. More recently, he developed the Style Advisor. Both are now the property of the firm, awaiting sale in the bankruptcy proceedings.
"I'm screwed," Mr. Winston said, noting he has been left with nothing. "All the work I did is lost."
He said he hasn't the wherewithal to buy back either the Wealthmax or Style Advisor. He said he is seeking employment, trying to stay in the industry.
Balch Hardy is the second firm in the past five years with which Mr. Brignoli had some sort of relationship that has been forced out of business as a result of litigation involving Mr. Brignoli.
In 1989, Brignoli Curley & Roberts Associates was dissolved under a court order by Judge Milton Pollock, ruling, among other breaches, that Mr. Brignoli misappropriated funds.
As a result of that judgment, Mr. Brignoli may not realize much of whatever payment Balch Hardy makes because of a still-unpaid $1.3 million award he owes to former principals of Brignoli Curley & Roberts.
John J. "Jac" Curley, one of the former principals and now a partner of Cornerstone Asset Management, L.P., New York, said the BCR receiver has a judicial order to ensure any proceeds Mr. Brignoli would receive first go to pay the BCR award.
In the more recent case, the jury supported Mr. Brignoli's complaint that based on an oral agreement, Balch Hardy was to pay him 25% of its gross revenue for its longtime use of his options overwriting methodology.
