Moss Clear - Moss & Algae Remover & Killer (Available in 5 & 25 litre)
Customer Reviews
Very pleased,
Tried other products with varying amounts of success so having tried other Smartseal products thought I'd give this a go, as always Smartseal delivered. Killed the moss and made it easy to get the drive cleaned and re sealed.
The moss clear is an excellent product which I have used successfully on drives, roofs and fences.
Brilliant product cleared moss and algae from my path and drive within a few days.
Excellent product for moss, great service from Dawn, thank you, outstanding.
Excellent product, doing just what it says on the tin.
Fabulous for clearing moss from a tarmac drive and also from paving stones
Followed the instructions carefully and it has done the job well. Drive was well prepared for the application of the restorer. Need to be patient......allow several days for the product to fully work. I was able to use the left overs to spray the moss on the roof too! I will certainly be repeating the application from time to time to keep the driveway clear.
Thank you for helping me with the moss problem. The customer service was top class.
Service excellent goods delivered quickly. However, unable to comment on product not used.
Didn't remove the moss just discoloured it, disappointing
Weather conditions have not been conducive for me to use the product since receiving it, however SmartSeal deserves real credit for their speed of service - the 25-litre product was ordered on a Sunday afternoon & arrived first thing the following Tuesday. Impressive.
Excellent does exactly what it says it does and works very quickly
Worked like a treat. Killed all the green slime on our natural paving slabs very quickly & almost all the moss...a few areas needed a second treatment but very pleased with this.
Excellent product. Sprayed the roof of our bungalow, killed all the moss in about a week. Just need to brush it off now.
We have used this product several times now on our customers drives and after two coats on 20 year old blocks it does look like you have just laid a new drive . Would definitely recommend.
Excellent product for killing moss on tarmac drives
Excellent product
I always purchase this particular brand/product as I know it actually works effectively,by far the best I have tried.Delivery is prompt also.Personal opinion,its the best of its class.
Have used this several times. Brilliant results!
This is a great product to use, especially moss clear pro the, benefits are great it can be applied all year round and in low temperatures and once dry is child & pet friendly.
I used this product on my patio at the beginning of the year and have had a moss free summer - just brilliant
absolutely fantastic, AAA+++
One word Brilliant
First time using this product does what it states very pleased with the result.
Yes! it has done what it says on the can. I have used it on my block paving which was only lightly infected by moss and it appears to be working well. I have also applied it to my roof which is of cement tiles which was very much infected by moss, the moss has after 3 days turned a yellow colour and I am just waiting for this to fall away. I'm hoping for the best on this.
The best Moss treatment product on the market in our opinion. Makes our life easier when dealing with a moss covered surface as a pre-treatment.
Wow what an amazing product!!! I recently had 90m of sandstone pavers laid, I sealed them straight away with Smartseal sealer but to my horror they were going green with 3mths. I tried jet washing them but the green still didnt come off. A call to smartseal customer services for advice ended with them sending me a sample bottle of their Moss Clear product due to the amount of Paver seal I had previously bought. I was not confident it would work as all you have to do is mix the Moss Clear to the desired strength (I used 3 parts water to 1 part moss clear) then pour it over the affected area and let nature take it course. Well even by the next morning the results were evident, now the whole 90m looks like new again, an amazing product that really really does work wonders. Many thanks.
Used MOSS CLEAR at lot,on all different roof types, very good product Delivery always on time and as for help and support well what can I say FIRST CLASS !!
Good product - The moss was thick on our stone slabs, and it is clearly dying after 3 days. Delivery was good, well packaged and on time, but a little expensive.
Does exactly what it says.....and no more: I was amazed to see that tufts of grass survived, but the moss and algae were totally zapped.
Good product, good price (apart from postage) prompt service. Have a tarmac drive and has done the job well so I can recomend Moss Clear and SmartSeal ... will be visiting you again when the dreded Moss returns!
Used product on north facing block paved driveway. Varying degrees of algae depending where the sun shines. So, I applied with a watering can 5:1. In the lighter areas the algae disapeared as it dried! In the heaviest areas the area was clear in three days. Very impressed with product and service have ordred more for next time.
Arrived withing 3 days as promised, technical help second to none, applied one coat with sprayer tonight, hopefully in a few days the area will be ready to be washed.

Moss Clear is a biocide that will remove moss, algae, fungi and other types of organic growth. As a moss remover Moss Clear is suitable for block paving, concrete, tarmac, decking, roof tiles and many other external hard surfaces.
Moss Clear is a new roof cleaning and paving cleaning concentrate. It is formulated as a moss, mould and algae treatment that safely removes all types of moss growth from paving. There is no need for washing off at high pressure or scrubbing. By reducing the pressure whilst cleaning the risk of damage to roof tiles is minimised and cleaning time reduced. The moss killer branded as Moss Clear is also a moss inhibitor. It can be applied after the roof has been cleaned to eliminate the risk of moss and algae spores re-forming.
We also recommend Moss Clear as a moss killer for use on paving, tarmac and other concrete surfaces.
For best results dilute at a ratio of one part moss clear to five parts water.
Coverage of approx 100m2 to 125m2 can be expected from 5 litres of moss clear. Application by sprayer or watering can is recommended.
Moss clear, once dry, is a safe and non-hazardous product. Moss Clear is made from biodegradable ingredients and does not include any bleach or acid contents.

WASHINGTON, July 19 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has accused the House Ethics Committee of violating her constitutional rights in its investigation of her finances.
Waters' called on the panel to dismiss the long-running case against her, threatening to take the matter to the House floor, Politico reported.
The Ethics Committee has been looking into charges Waters improperly used her office to aid a minority-owned bank where her husband held more than $350,000 in stock.
Stan Brand, Waters' attorney, said in a statement a Politico story and accompanying documents posted Monday "leave no doubt that the House Ethics Committee violated both its own rules and Representative Waters' constitutional rights during its investigation."
Monday's story, which included internal e-mails, memos and documents from the panel, revealed bitter internal disputes on the panel.
The former staff director and chief counsel for the Ethics Committee accused the two lead investigators of secretly feeding information to Republicans on the panel.
Blake Chisam also accused the two staffers of misleading lawmakers and other staff on the status of the Waters investigation.
The Ethics Committee was expected to meet on the Waters case this week.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) Babe Parilli, the former Patriots quarterback who starred in the team's American Football League days, died Saturday. He was 87.
New England announced the death. The cause of death wasn't disclosed.
Parilli played for the then-Boston Patriots from 1961 to 1967. He was voted to three AFL All-Star games and was the AFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 1966.
Parilli was named to the All-AFL 10 Year Anniversary Team in 1971 and his 31 touchdown passes in 1964 were a team record until 2007. Parilli is fourth on the Patriots' career passing list with 16,747 yards and is in the team's Hall of Fame. He also was known as excellent holder and was nicknamed "gold finger."
He began his pro career with the Green Bay Packers in 1952, and also played for the Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, New York Jets and the CFL's Ottawa Rough Riders. He was the backup to Joe Namath when the Jets won the Super Bowl in 1969.
Vito "Babe" Parilli was born in Rochester, Pennsylvania not far from Namath's hometown of Beaver Falls. Both Parilli and Namath played under coach Bear Bryant in college, Parilli at Kentucky, and Namath at Alabama. Parilli led Kentucky to victories over Oklahoma in the 1951 Sugar Bowl and TCU in the 1952 Cotton Bowl. In 1982, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Parilli was a head coach in the World Football League, also served as an NFL assistant and coached in the Arena Football League.

« Coachability: A Key to Performing up to Capability | Main | A Small But Significant Decimal Point »
From Struggling Teacher to Star Teacher
Has it been a rough year for you so far? If so, I can relate from my early days in the classroom. 2nd grade teacher Emily McGinley can relate too. Three years ago Emily headed into January feeling down because she had been unable to reach or teach her students. But just a few weeks later, struggling teacher Emily was on her way to becoming star teacher Emily. And here's how she, I, and many struggling teachers I've coached have turned things around--and how you can too:
Step 1: Take Ownership. Sure there are outside factors that compound the challenges of teaching. But what can you do about them? Nothing, so focus instead on what you can do something about: your classroom. Related posts: Owning and Overcoming Classroom Woes and Coachability: A Key to Performing Up to Capability.
Step 2: Make Cause-Effect Connections. It's hard to solve a problem if you don't know why it's happening. Stop throwing darts at your problems (like I did at first), and start pinpointing the causes of them. Read Replacing Classroom Chaos with Control for tips on how to do this.
Step 3: Target Causes. Seek solutions that target the causes of problems rather than their effects. Example: Students acted out when I went to my desk for supplies. Shame on them for their behavior (effect), but shame on me for going to my desk (cause). My solution: wearing a tool belt with all my supplies.Give this process a try and let me know how it goes--I might even share your story in a future post. And read Harry and Rosemary Wong's article, The Lasting Impact of Instructional Coaching, for more on my Cause-Effect approach and Emily McGinley's rise from struggling teacher to star teacher.

Abstract and Keywords
Until the 19th century, abortion law was nonexistent and abortion was not seen as a moral issue. However, by the turn of the 20th century, abortion was legally defined and controlled in most states. The landmark Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade (1973), marked the legalization of abortion but did not end the controversy that existed. Legislation at both the federal and state levels has added restrictions on abortion, making it difficult for women to exercise their reproductive rights. Social work's commitment to promote the human rights of women compels social workers to be aware of and involved in this issue.
Keywords: abortion, Hyde Amendment, Roe v. Wade, parental involvement, Code of Ethics

As you may have guessed from the name, you're a bison (not a burrito, though). In the course of your day-to-day grocery shopping, you're abducted into a bag of gummy bears, and must now fend for yourself.
At the beginning of each round you launch yourself onto the marching gummy (gummi?) bears, while you're being watched by a huge crowd of even more gummy bears. Your goal is to keep bouncing on the bears and earn more and more money while you do it. Every time you hit a gummy bear, you lose some momentum. If you hit the floor, you basically lose all of it.
But don't give up just yet! You have an emergency thrust which you can use to gain some momentum and keep bouncing on those bears. This extra thrust gets refilled as you hit more bears.
There are also special gummy bears that give you extra thrust or extra money. The money comes in handy at the end of each round, when you can shop for cool stuff to make your bison even more effective against those gummy bears.
It's a fun and colorful game that kept my interest for quite some time, and almost sent me running to the closest store to get some gummy bears!

Eat This Now: Crispy Potato Pie from Rosco's, Brooklyn
Pizza reviews in NYC.
When Rosco's opened up on Franklin Avenue last summer, there was murmured skepticism among my friends—our neighborhood was already loaded with a wide range of great pizza options (Barboncino, Pete Zaaz, Amorina, and Franny's, to name a few), so what did we need with a fairly basic slice joint? One visit answered the question: what we needed was a fairly basic slice joint. Rosco's hits the nail on the head, turning out consistently good, moderately priced, straightforward New York-style pies.
Also, to be clear—Rosco's may more or less be modeled on your standard corner slice place, but there are special touches that set it apart. Somewhat unusual toppings, like whole roasted garlic cloves, hot peppers, and crisp bacon, plus some fun and thoughtful touches in the décor, help bring things up a notch.
Last Friday afternoon, I stopped by to get a pie with a friend. In deference to his vegetarianism (even though I was kind of dying to get some spicy sopressata) we went for the #5 off the "Rosco's Recommends" list, one of their special-ish pie/topping combinations: crispy potato, caramelized onion, rosemary, provolone, and mozzarella. Noticing (how have I missed this before??) their fried garlic knots, we got an order of those too—I had just been considering making my own, but here and now my curiosity could be sated.
We sat down to wait at one of the tables near the front windows, which were thrown open wide to let in the sunny, late summer afternoon. The space was filled with a combination of unemployed/artistic/freelance 20-somethings, and a vaguely Jimi Hendrix-esque guitar wailed through the speakers. We sipped our root beers—served in refreshingly ice cold pint glasses—while we waited.
The Garlic Knots ($4, 6 to an order) arrived first, perfectly crisp on the outside and puffy and chewy on the inside. A deep golden brown, they were stickily coated in an unctuous sauce of garlic, butter, parsley and Parmesan. These were a total over-the-top delight; that is, as you devour them you're also reminding yourself not to eat them again anytime soon.
Next, the Crispy Potato Pie (16" for $20); creamy and sweet, the dominant flavor coming from the caramelized onions. Which was fine by me (caramelized anything is pretty high on the tastes-I-adore list), but I missed some of the promised rosemary. Cubes of potato were well-roasted and added a nice, earthy flavor, balancing out the richness of everything else. The layer of provolone beneath the mozzarella made for an interesting textural contrast in cheeses, and the crust was just right—thin and crisp, with a good chew.
Rosco's has served as my quick slice stop on the way to or from the train, so this was my first time ordering off of their "Recommended" menu; it certainly won't be the last. The pie was delicious (and reheated excellently at home the next day), so it's clear they know what's what. Now I just need to get back there for some of that sopressata!

WASHINGTON — Bradley Beal scored 24 points in his return to the lineup, leading the Washington Wizards to a 109-92 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and John Wall added 18 points and 10 assists for Washington. The Wizards, who came in having lost two in a row on the road, won their seventh straight at home and moved into a tie with Toronto for 10th place in the Eastern Conference.

Raptors close gap, but fall short in decisive loss to Wizards Back to video
Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Raptors, losers of six of their last seven. Toronto leading scorer Rudy Gay scored 11 points — about seven below his average — while being limited to 26 minutes due to foul trouble.
Toronto, which has lost six of seven, cut a 20-point third-quarter deficit to six twice in the fourth quarter before Washington pulled away.
After missing five straight games, and 11 of 13, with a sprained left ankle, Beal shot 8 for 14 from the field, including a career-high six three-pointers — on nine attempts — in 30 minutes.

World Bulletin / News Desk
A Vatican magistrate on Monday ordered Pope Benedict's former butler to stand trial on charges of aggravated theft for leaking documents alleging corruption in theVatican.
In a 35-page document on the case which has rocked the Holy See since Gabriele was arrested last May, the Vatican also charged a computer expert who worked in the Vatican bureaucracy with involvement in the case, the first mention of a second man.
The layman, named as Claudio Sciarpelletti, was also ordered to stand trial, although on lesser charges of aiding and abetting a crime.
The Vatican said it was not clear when the trial would be held but it would not be before the end of September.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the pope, as the sovereign head of Vatican City, could intervene at any time to stop the trial or pardon Gabriele. But he did not know if the pontiff would do so.
If found guilty Gabriele, who worked in the pope's private apartments serving him meals and helping him dress, could face six years in jail under the laws of the papal state.
According to the document, Gabriele told investigators he had acted because he saw "evil and corruption everywhere in the Church" and wanted to help root it out "because the pope was not sufficiently informed".
In a section that referred to Gabriele's state of mind, he told investigators that after he had started copying documents and leaking them, "I reached the point of no return and could not control myself anymore".
He continued: "I was sure that a shock, perhaps by using the media, could be a healthy thing to bring the Church back on the right track".
The indictment order also revealed that a cheque made out to the pope for 100,000 euros, a gold nugget and a 16th century book were found in Gabriele's house in a search, objects which the butler said he intended to give back.
The documents leaked earlier this year alleged corruption in the Vatican's dealings with Italian companies, including the payment of inflated prices for services, and detailed rivalries between cardinals and clashes over the running of the Vatican bank.Last Mod: 13 Ağustos 2012, 15:42

Excitement continues to brew about who Mitt Romney might choose as his Vice President. Today a story hit the news circulation that Marco Rubio is not being vetted, but Tim Pawlenty is being given serious consideration. Romney found himself on the defensive this evening. But before you get too excited about a Marco Rubio candidacy, or too upset about it, you may want to take a breather and consider who Romney is and what kind of campaign he is running. Flash and splash are not the orders of the day.
Mitt Romney's campaign need do no more than promise a stronger economy and let Obama continue to create a weaker economy. In fact, Mitt Romney's tour through small town USA promoting the private sector and values of competition is exactly where he needs to be. Obama is spouting a controversy mixed with a gaffe every day. Why jump in front of a train wreck? Romney's VP choice will be about as blockbuster as a sandwich from a WaWa vending machine.
Get out your VP scorecards and consider the following:
Mitt's VP choice will not be a fresh face.
Mitt Romney is not looking for a candidate with little national experience. Nor is he looking for a candidate who everyone on the far right loves. Romney doesn't need a shot of adrenaline or steroids. The last thing he needs is someone who is going to distract from the national disaster of the Obama Presidency. Romney does not need a divisive TEA party figure. He certainly doesn't need someone who could be perceived as inexperienced. If Romney picks a veteran, the media will be cautious about trying to embarrass them as a rookie. But media types smell blood in the water when there is fresh meat. Even a studied, prepared candidate might not be able to field a trick question like "do you support the Bush doctrine". However, a veteran is less likely to be asked that question.
This is bad for Allen West, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Susana Martinez, Scott Walker, and Paul Ryan. Could be good for Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty, Jeb Bush, Condi Rice, or Rudy Guiliani.
Mitt's VP choice will not be old and tired.
The death knell for a Republican candidacy, fair or not, is being old and grey. Nothing plays into stereotypes of Republicans more than an old, grey haired, slow talking wrinkly man. While Romney doesn't need a shot in the arm, he also doesn't need something contributing to the stereotypes more than he does already. Right now Romney is Reaganesque in his looks and style. But an older veteran running mate would turn his campaign into the old rich white people's ticket. Again, it may not be fair or right, but don't expect a VP over 55 years old.
Don't expect Newt Gingrich, Fred Thompson, or Rob Portman. Could be good for Bobby McDonnell, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie
Mitt's VP choice may not be female or minority.
There is this idea that the only way to defeat Barack Obama is by running a female or minority VP candidate. Aside from that strategy failing miserably with Sarah Palin, the problem is that Republicans pay far less attention to race and gender than Democrats do, and Democrats virulently hate conservative women and minorities. We have seen in recent years just how much visible hatred has been directed toward Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, Allen West, Nikki Haley, Michelle Bachmann, Bobby Jindal, Marco Rubio, etc. There is a clear desire on the left for female and minority Republicans to fail. In Mitt Romney's case, he is not looking for diversity for diversity's sake. That's not to say he won't pick a female or minority candidate, but if he does it will be someone respected by both sides and unassailable.
This makes Allen West, Bobby Jindal, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, and Susana Martinez less likely. However, it doesn't necessarily knock Condoleeza Rice out of the running, although she will carry the stigma on the left of being chosen for diversity's sake. Again, might not be fair, but since when were politics fair.
Mitt's VP choice will not be controversial.
Mitt Romney is not looking to cause trouble for himself. He doesn't need a loudmouth or a controversial character. Don't expect any candidate who is going to make serious waves. As I said before, Romney doesn't need a distraction from the freak show of the Obama economy. Expect a well respected candidate who is as smooth politically as Romney himself.
You can scratch the Donald, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, Allen West, and Newt Gingrich off your list. This is a strike against Jeb Bush and Condoleeza Rice as well. But it favors Mitch Daniels, possibly Bob McDonell, and John Thune.
Expect a strategic pick.
Romney's not going to choose a popular governor from a red state. But he might choose a popular candidate from a purple or blue state. And there are a few to choose from. Rubio would lock of Florida. Bob McDonnell could secure the nearly must win blue state of Virginia. Tim Pawlenty could inspire votes from the teetering Great Lakes states. Rick Snyder of Michigan could really bring in some blue states, but he is likely disqualified for being old and a fresh face at the same time. Brian Sandoval might help swing Nevada to Romney while also providing the opportunity to highlight Harry Reid's role in the destruction of our economy.
This set of criteria will hardly provide a definite pick. In fact, some points are contradictory. But it should provide some ideas for people who are looking at the potential VP picks. I could hardly make a prediction even based on this criteria. But I do believe it comprises the factors that Romney will be looking at when making his pick.

Launch Countdown rehearsal completed
The launch countdown rehearsal of Integral took place on 14 October. A two-day slot had been allocated for this, in case of problems, but the rehearsal went very smoothly and all activities, including battery recharging were completed by 17:00 local time on 14 October.
A launch rehearsal is a big event because it involves people from all over the world who will participate in the launch itself. Here in Baikonur, the Proton launch vehicle team goes through its own countdown, including activities on the launcher itself.
A few hundred metres away, in the bunker, a small ESA/Alenia team represents the formal communication with the launch authorities. Kai Clausen, heading the group, gives the final spacecraft readiness status for the launch. Several kilometres away, close to the workstations controlling the spacecraft remotely, the rest of the ESA/Alenia team monitors spacecraft status and puts it into the right configuration for launch.
Several thousand kilometres away, the whole team at ESOC is ready for its countdown procedure and launch preparations, and also monitors the spacecraft status. In turn, ESOC receives information from ground stations around the world.
In this complex setup, communications and synchronization of activities play a crucial role. A few adjustments have been made, such as fixing broken telephone speakers, but the outcome of this event was positive. Again all is clear for a 17 October launch.

Police: Springfield man kills mom, steals cab
Luis Rosa arrested after flipping cab in Springfield, police say
A Springfield man is held without bail after pleading not guilty to killing his mother and later stealing and crashing a taxi cab.
Forty-one-year-old Luis Rosa was arraigned Monday in Springfield District Court on charges including murder, assault and armed carjacking.
Police say Rosa was arrested early Monday morning after flipping the taxi cab he had allegedly stolen after stabbing the 25-year-old driver with a butcher knife. The driver required treatment for a cut on his shoulder.
Rosa was later charged with killing his mother, 57-year-old Norma Perez, who was found dead in her apartment by relatives just before 5 p.m. Sunday. Relatives forced their way into the home after being unable to contact Perez. Police said theft may have been the motive for her killing.

It's been almost two weeks since my transformation from a pin-straight haired gal to a bonafide wavyhead, and I have to say I really love the change. It's been really fun to wake up to new hair every day. The waves are soft, natural-looking and easy to manage. But—it wasn't like that from the get-go!
Foram's "natural" look
After I got the beach wave perm done, I had to wait 48 hours to wash my hair, and since it had been styled, I just chose to keep it up and out of the way until I could wash out all of the product.
Forty-eight hours later, I was dying to hop in the shower and check out my new waves. I used the Pravana Sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner Anna from Trashy Roots Salon & Spa had recommended for me. While the conditioner's scent reminded me of the conditioner the at-home color kits include, it did the trick. My hair was clean and soft once I got out of the shower. I towel-dried my hair, combed out the tangles and sprayed some of the Pravana Intensive Leave-In Conditioner in. Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch.
Next, I sprayed my hair down with the Pravana Beach Wave Control Mist. Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch. I was done! Having been a bit wary of how much maintenance I'd have to give my new wavy hair, I was pleased to say it was actually really quick and simple.
The mist was supposed to give me the "beach wave-y" look, and it did—for a while. I have super thick hair, and with my layers and relatively short length, it had a lot of volume on its own. I was concerned about the level of "poof" it might have with the waves, and I was right to be! Later on that night, my hair had taken on a personality of its own—with too much volume and not enough definition, I looked like a dog with big fuzzy ears! Definitely NOT the look I was hoping for! What to do? I sprayed it through with the mist, as the directions said, to "refresh" my waves. It helped—a little. But really, all I was left with was some dampened waves and hair that was all tangles.
The next day, I decided to nix the mist and try the Pravana Curl Enhancing Gel. Anna had recommended I use this for a "wet look". I gave it a go after washing my hair. I was surprised when I squeezed some out that it was more the texture of a serum rather than a gel. I worked it through my hair and did some more scrunching. Voila! Hours later, I had more defined waves that looked natural, yet styled. That didn't take me any work or time at all, and the results were more than satisfactory! Plus, my hair doesn't feel like it has a ton of product in it. I can still run my fingers through it without running into tangles.
Foram's evening look
My hair has on occasion taken on more poof than preferable, and on those days I've pulled out the mist. I find that it works well once my hair has already had some gel through it. Although I'm not a huge fan of the mist because it tends to feel more product-ey than the gel, it's a good refresher for my hair in the middle of the day!
What's funny is that although my hair is super-straight naturally, and even more straight when I take a flat iron to it (to get out all the kinks)—no one has commented on my new do! I'm assuming that people have simply assumed it's my natural hair and I normally iron it out everyday. Guess it goes to show you how natural this look really is! Even better is that I've been able to literally wash, gel, scrunch, and go every single day. No ironing out kinks—nothing! It looks super natural in the day and just as dressed up at night. I'm loving the versatility!

It is a match-up that is as much exciting, as it looks daunting, for Vancouver Whitecaps FC's first-ever game in the MLS Cup Playoffs. A trip to Southern California to face LA Galaxy has not been enjoyable historically…but the postseason has a strange way of painting a different picture…
There are key match-ups that will determine who will move on from the First Knockout Round and meet San Jose Earthquakes in the Western Conference Semifinals.
Some involve particular battles on the pitch, while the execution of game plans will also play a role at The Home Depot Center on Thursday night. With their 2012 seasons on the line, we look at how Whitecaps FC and the Galaxy match up in this first-ever playoff meeting between both clubs.
Most soccer games are won and lost in the midfield, and Thursday will likely be no different. For Whitecaps FC, the need for big midfield performances will be essential, with Gershon Koffie, Barry Robson, and Alain Rochat likely in strong consideration to play crucial roles. Should 'Caps head Martin Rennie opt to pose a threat in the wide areas, then Dane Richards and Camilo Sanvezzo may be called upon.
LA offer a powerful midfield set. Galaxy star David Beckham is known to be a man for the big occasion, while the 'Caps will not want to give Juninho sights at goal from long range. Landon Donovan may be employed to attack from a wide midfield position by Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, while Swedish international Christian Wilhelmsson has been a welcome addition on LA's right-hand side.
At both ends of the pitch, the duels that will be fought on Thursday may be the ones that supporters will remember the most. Captain Jay DeMerit and the Whitecaps FC backline are facing a high-octane Galaxy strike force that combined for 29 goals this season.
Robbie Keane's intelligence and skill pose a major threat, while the return to fitness of Edson Buddle offers LA a legitimate aerial target. Donovan's driving runs not only create chances for himself, but his teammates. The 'Caps defence know they have a big task in front of them.
And yet, the Galaxy defenders will think the same when considering the need to contain the speedy Darren Mattocks, the experienced Kenny Miller, or the skillful Camilo. LA centre back Omar Gonzalez is a tower of strength, but Galaxy rookie Tommy Meyer will be in the spotlight in what could be his first MLS playoff game.
The difference makers in Thursday's match may be the attack-minded fullbacks that both clubs possess. Any one of the following four players may just find themselves with an assist to their name by the end of the night.
Whitecaps FC's Young-Pyo Lee and Jordan Harvey have supplied several goals from wide areas this season. Remember Lee's cross that set up Robson's header in the 2-2 home draw with LA? And what about Harvey's crosses that created goals on the road for Mattocks this season?
The Galaxy have a dangerous fullback pairing themselves. Expect Todd Dunivant and Sean Franklin to support the LA attack with forward runs, especially if Buddle offers the duo a target to cross to from their respective flanks.

It's that time of year again! When a legion of trenchcoat owners and fey youngsters with immaculate haircuts head down to their local music emporium, all in the hope of bagging some exclusive vinyl treats. We are, of course, talking about Record Store Day, when we plan on rising from bed at a ludicrous hour to give James Murphy yet more of our money.
Despite the inevitable dross in this year's list of over 600 releases, there remains plenty to get excited about. From Tim Burgess' brand new solo single to a Liars record that has actual wool in it. We've done our best to round up the best releases below, and took a moment to take aim at the unnecessary tosh too.
Dig in and allow us to wish you a ton of fun when rooting around in your local record store this Saturday.
The Good
LCD Soundsystem
The Long Goodbye (DFA)
Few bands have been as mindful of their place in the musical canon as LCD Soundsystem. From the opening strains of 'Losing My Edge', James Murphy deliberately set about placing his own band in the same esteem as Can, Suicide and The Sonics. Now he's releasing their final show at Madison Square Gardens in 2011 as a special edition, 5-LP boxset - the sort of commemorative treatment that usually befits rock royalty. If you saw the Brooklyn dance-punk troupe live before their self-made demise, you'll understand just why this sort of grandstanding is wholly justified. They were an ecstatic force of nature that fully deserve to be preserved on black plastic.
Tim Burgess
Oh Men / I Couldn't Say It To Your Face (O Genesis)
As The Charlatans amble onto the comeback trail once more, Tim Burgess has still found time to sneak out a new solo single for Record Store Day. We've got an exclusive stream of the B-side above, a chirpy cover of Arthur Russell's 'I Couldn't Say It To Your Face' featuring experimental auteur Peter Gordon. Funnily enough, Gordon played on Russell's original version of the song - so why not pick that off eBay for an uber-geeky compare and contrast?
Apollo (PMR Records)
Fair play, to the Lawrence brothers. Since Settle met with rave reviews and a place atop the album chart, they could have easily coasted by on their own inflated sense of importance. Instead, they've collaborated with a host of exciting folk from Mary J Blige to Nile Rodgers, and continued to release some all-original bangers of their own. 'Apollo' is one such deep house cut that's guaranteed to give you ravey hands every time it's placed upon your turntable.
The Twilight Sad
Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters (FatCat Records)
A reissue, yes, but what an album. Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters is seven years old as of 2014, and it sounds just as vital as ever. Don't believe us? Read our 9/10 review of The Twilight Sad's debut LP, which returns to record stores with a host of added demos and rarities. Not content to rest on their former glories, Scotland's most fearsome noiseniks have a new album out in the all too tantalising future. To celebrate, they're headlining DiS' official AIM awards gig at The Lexington in London on Friday 25th July. Honestly, wait til you see the full line-up - it's going to be a cracker.
Tame Impala
Live Versions (Fiction)
Tame Impala are going places. Following on from 2012's much-lauded Lonerism, they've signed to Fiction in the UK - meaning they now belong to the same major label clan as Crystal Castles, The Maccabees and, erm, Snow Patrol. Rather than spunk their advance on a smorgasbord of psychotropics, the Australian five-piece have come up with an eight-song live album instead. Less fun for them perhaps, but we had a whale of a time listening to it.
Mess On A Mission (Mute Records)
Now this is what vinyl is about. Taking the best track from one our favourite albums of 2014 and making it that little bit more special. If only they'd make a Liars-branded cardigan...
Camera Obscura
4AD Session EP (4AD)
According to Tracyanne Campbell, Camera Obscura's Record Store Day release was a bit of a slog to get done. "I was quite pregnant when we did that EP, so it was really hard work," said the Glaswegian quintet's frontwoman in interview with DiS this week. Still, all that toil resulted in a live recording that brings an added melancholy to Desire Lines' stand out songs.
Indie Cindy (PIAS Recordings)
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get the first Pixies album since 1991. Indie Cindy is a compilation of the band's past three EPs, which were crucially recorded without the input of the inimitable Kim Deal. Honestly, it's an okay record made by a formerly seminal band. Hearing Frank Black and co do their caustic indie shtick once more is kind of fun though.
Music Finland
The Limited Record Store Day Edition 2014 (Music Finland)
You don't have to spend a dime to pick up something half decent this Record Store Day. That's because Music Finland are giving away a free 10-inch compilation of their nation's finest new artists. Just turn up to a participating store to get a taste for Domino's new signing Jaakko Eino Kalevi and Sub Pop's Mirel Wagner, both of whom seem set to breakout from Nordic territory and take up much-loved residence in your earholes.
The Bad
Forever (Polydor Records)
Record Store Day marks the third time Haim have reissued their debut single on vinyl and, it better well be the last. Our original pressing is depreciating in value faster than the Ukrainian Stock Exchange. Also, Days Are Gone is hardly lacking for other songs of Fleetwood Mac-indebted splendour.
One Direction
Midnight Memories (Columbia Records)
While we understand the sentiment behind this, it doesn't quite work in practice. Come for the 1D single, stay for the Dinosaur Jr. boxset? Unlikely.
Jay Z / Linkin Park
Collision Course (Warner Music)
Easter: an annual reminder that Jesus died on the cross to forgive humanity for its many sins. Speaking of which, over five million people have bought Collision Course since the nu rap-metal abomination was first released a decade ago. Buy this again and our compassion can only stretch so far.
The Blatant Cash Ins
Sex Pistols
Never Mind The Bollocks - 7x7-inch box set (Virgin Records)
If there is a 'spirit of Record Store Day', then guff like this is its absolute nemesis. Never Mind The Bollocks could go a lifetime without being reissued and it would still remain a classic. The only people who'll snap up this 'alternative takes' box set (read: the age old tracklisting plus 'Belsen Was A Gas') are the sorts that will store it in their attic and watch its price rise on Discogs. Arseholes, as they're otherwise known.
Deep Purple
Made In Japan (Purple)
Are you a heritage act with nothing new to contribute to Record Store Day? Keep calm and just reissue an knackered old live album. It's what Alice Cooper, Bachman & Turner, Deep Purple, Grateful Dead, Jethro Tull, Status Quo and many more of their haggard compatriots would approve of.
A full list of Record Store Day 2014 releases can be found on the Drowned In Sound forums

Awakening America: The Refusers' Crusade Via Great MusicMay 22, 2011 at 2:52 PM | Posted in Childhood Vaccines Injure and Kill, Conscious Lifestyles Radio Show Blog, Dangers of Fluoride and Mercury, Government held accountable, Stop Genocide, The Refusers, Uncategorized, Vaccine Dangers | Leave a comment

My interview with The Refusers' Lead Singer, Michael Belkin on May 21, 2011, was awakening…. for me, my Producer, and thousands of listeners.
I had interviewed Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center a few weeks ago, and when I got the chance to bring the subject of vaccine dangers to the attention of my listeners once again, I knew this was the right thing to do. This topic is way underreported and it too often gets marginalized as millions of innocent children, animals, and even adults suffer the consequences of such cover-ups.
I believe that conspiracies do exist in this world. It would be naive not to.
Vaccines have been killing, maiming, injuring, and permanently destroying children for more than 60 years. The madness has got to stop.
The most important choice you could make in life today is to Refuse the Propaganda and the myths that are spun to confuse both the American parent, AND people around the world…. especially Third World people who are vulnerable and innocent to the machinations of the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex.
Why do Pharmaceutical companies want to hurt us? Great question. The answer is Control. When you are weak, sick, vulnerable, disabled…. you are controllable. They've got you.
Sound bazaar? Well, do your own research. Do an internet search on "Project Paperclip" under the Roosevelt Administration. —- It will knock your socks off.
The very Nazi [mad men] Scientists who were killing in the Concentration Camps are here in America. Not one ever spend time in Prison for their heinous crimes. They morphed, instead, into what LOOKS like benevolent companies doing good in the world… they became the Pharmaceutical Companies that we see given billions in tax breaks and with more Lobbyists than any other group on Earth.
"…. the biological case against thimerosal is so dramatically overwhelming that only a very foolish or a very dishonest person with the credentials to understand their research would say that thimerosal wasn't the most likely cause of autism. You couldn't even construct a study that shows that thimerosal is safe. It's just too toxic…. If you inject thimerosal into an animal, its brain will sicken. If you apply it to living tissue, the cells die. If you put it in a Petri dish, the culture dies. Knowing these things, it would be shocking if one could inject it into an infant without causing damage."—- Boyd Hayley, Ph.D., Chairman of the University of Kentucky Chemistry Department
One book I highly recommend is "Thugs, Drugs And The War On Bugs." By Dr. Brad Case.
Just as the innocent Prisoners in Nazi Concentration Camps died from experimental vaccines, the experiments have been continued on our children.
Michael Belkin shared with us the horrifying news that his own beautiful, 5 week old daughter was killed from a vaccine 12 years ago.
The absolute horror of facing the death of a loved one from a vaccine is beyond description. The unthinkable thing about all of this is that it is akin to killing someone with any weapon. So, why is it that the Big Pharmaceutical giants and their high Priestesses [misguided Doctors] are EXEMPT from facing any responsibility from killing innocent people?
Baby Lilah never saw a Birthday. Her life was stolen from her, and her parents were robbed of their daughter. The millions of beautiful faces of children who have died and been injured from vaccines can be seen on The National Vaccine Information Center's Website: www.nvic.org
The Refusers' music is amazing. Their Lyrics are powerful, and Michael Belkin can sing all Genre's of music from Classic Rock, to Reggae, to Jazz. My Producer had their music playing when I walked into the radio studio for the show, and even my own mother loved their music!
Being a "Refuser" is going to catch on around the world…. with lyrics like "a vaccine stole my baby away" and a sound that will get you on your feet… this message of keeping vaccines out of our bodies by our own choice is going to be a powerful force.

Remembering Memorial Day
For most Americans, Memorial Day is a day of picnics, of barbecues and baseball games. What's sometimes forgotten are the reasons for the holiday: The sacrifices made by American soldiers in times of war.
Originally, the holiday was known as "Decoration Day." It was started by a Civil War general named Gen. John Logan, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. General Logan sought a way to help the country come back together after the horrors and divide of the Civil War.
The holiday was first observed on May 30, 1868, and Gen. Logan chose that date for two very important reasons: First, the day did not mark the anniversary of a Civil War battle, and second "flowers would likely be in bloom all over the United States." Indeed, many took flowers to Arlington National Cemetery, an activity that still occurs every year.
Memorial Day, despite having been around for over 100 years in one form or another, didn't become an official federal holiday until 1971, when Congress passed the National Holiday Act. This created a three-day weekend at the end of May. Prior to this, different states observed the holiday on different days.
National Moment of Remembrance
The National Moment of Remembrance, asks Americans wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day to pause in an act of national unity. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather it is an act of national unity in which all Americans, honor those who died for our freedom.
To honor all who fought, sacrificed and to the many who died, we honor you all."It's a convention of wolves over there with all the snarling, snapping, and baring of teeth."
Ron Paul Supporter Describing CU
and a salute to those buried in foreign countries worldwide. and deep dark seas and oceans of the world. as wellIncrease the peace

April 29, 2014 : By Ted Allen
|Liberty University School of Law graduates (from left) Matthew Clark ('12), Benjamin Boyd ('10), and Dr. Martin Wishnatsky ('12) currently serve as law clerks in Alabama.
Three graduates of Liberty University School of Law have the privilege of serving as law clerks for Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who issued a landmark ruling on April 18 that the word "child" in Alabama's chemical-endangerment statute applies both to the born and unborn.
Matthew Clark and Dr. Martin Wishnatsky, both 2012 graduates of Liberty Law, and Benjamin Boyd ('10) are clerks for Chief Justice Moore, who issued an opinion in Ex Parte Sarah Janie Hicks, an appeal against the State of Alabama by a woman who was convicted of chemical endangerment of a child. Hicks ingested cocaine while pregnant with her son, J.D., which resulted in his positive test for the drug at birth. She argued that the word "child" in the chemical-endangerment statute did not apply to an unborn child. The trial court rejected the argument by an 8-1 vote and the Criminal Court of Appeals affirmed the decision, relying on a similar ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court last year.
Clark, Wishnatsky, and Boyd became the first Liberty alumni to land full-time positions in a state supreme court in 2012 after completing internships with Liberty Counsel.
"These grads love the law school and are making a huge impact," said Mat Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law. "As the law school ages, we will see more of this as our graduates move up in the ranks."
This is also the first case in which the Liberty University Law Review, published three times a year by Liberty Law students, has been cited in any court opinion. Alabama Justice Tom Parker referred to Wishnatsky's article, "The Supreme Court's Use of the Term 'Potential Life': Verbal Engineering and the Abortion Holocaust," written when he was still in law school and published in the winter of 2012 after he had completed his internship with Liberty Counsel.
"From 'potential life,' the Court has progressed to 'unborn life,' which is a significant step," Justice Parker cited from the article. "Once the 'potential life' misnomer is discarded, the Court's abortion jurisprudence may go with it."
Staver said this case, referring to rights afforded all Americans in the Declaration of Independence and in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution which abolished slavery, poses a valid argument for overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States.
"The opinions by Chief Justice Roy Moore and Tom Parker … completely demolish the fallacies of the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion decisions," Staver said. "One day soon the United States Supreme Court's abortion opinions will come toppling down like a house of cards. Then we will look back at history like we now do with Nazi Germany and wonder why our generation was so blind to the personhood of the preborn child."

One of the challenges of taking on a major change initiative such as the Purdue Polytechnic Initiative is the tension between change and innovation on the one hand and faculty governance and process on the other.

ATV history
Since 1987, European industry under ESA's leadership performed concept and system studies of an Automated Transfer Vehicle.
As early as 1988, several European countries made the political commitment to take part in the International Space Station by signing the Intergovernmental Agreement with the United States and the International Space Station participants.
In 1992 ESA started a joint study with NASA to define ATV missions to what was then called Space Station Freedom and later to the International Space Station. The following year, ESA and the Russian space agency agreed to study possible missions of an ATV to space station Mir 2 — a follow-up programme of Mir — and later on, to the Russian segment of the International Space Station.
After Russia joined the International Space Station programme, it was decided to build ATV in 1994. In February of that year, the 111th ESA Council meeting in Paris gave its consent to the Manned Space Transportation Programme, which included the Automated Transport Vehicle.
At the ministerial ESA meeting held in Toulouse in October 1995, formal approval was given to the ATV full development programme. Among the International Space Station partners, ESA represents the 10 European countries involved in the International Space Station programme including the Columbus laboratory and the ATV projects (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland).
Mixed fleet scenario
International Space Station operations were divided into two categories among the Space Station partners: partner-specific operations necessary for partner-owned elements and common operations necessary for the Station as a whole.
ESA agreed with the international partner on the so-called 'mixed fleet scenario', giving each partner the right to visit the Station and to resupply its own Station elements with its own space transportation systems. Independent access to the International Space Station by each partner, and in particular ESA, has been considered as an important political and operational aspect and an important financial asset in contributing to Space Station operation costs.
Servicing the Station
ATV used an Ariane 5 launcher to service the Station, which is another ESA-initiated programme.
The combination of the Ariane 5 and ATV allowed Europe to transport its own payloads to the Station and carry propellants, gases and other logistics goods for use by the whole Station and its international partners. ATV missions represent the European share of Station operations, and enabled the delivery of experiments and scientific facilities to the European Columbus laboratory that was added to the Station in February 2008.

LORAIN -- Utilities Director Corey Timko will step down from his post in Lorain to oversee wastewater treatment in North Ridgeville. Timko yesterday delivered his resignation letter and on Feb. 1 will begin work as superintendent of North Ridgeville's French Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, said North Ridgeville Mayor David Gillock. The city had 13 applicants for the post and interviewed four, Gillock said. "Corey was head and shoulders above the other three," Gillock said. "We're looking forward to getting Corey through the process and getting him on board. The plant is a state-of-the-art plant. He seemed to show a vision and a competency and capability that we're looking for and will do a great job running the plant." Timko's exact salary is not final yet, Gillock said, but the job has a salary up to about $92,000 a year. As of 2011, Timko's salary in Lorain was $86,753, according to Lorain records. The French Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant has about 36 employees and can treat up to 11.25 million gallons of wastewater per day, Gillock said. Timko will replace superintendent Don Daley, who will retire with at least 20 years' experience at the plant, the mayor said. Lorain Mayor Chase Ritenauer also confirmed Timko's resignation. In eight years on the job, Timko's department has been a key in planning to upgrade Lorain's water and sewer lines. He and his staff also have obtained millions of dollars in grants to clean metals and byproducts from city-owned land behind the city's steel mills. The change was not necessarily surprising given Timko's efforts for Lorain and desire for professional growth, Ritenauer said. He added in the self-interest of Lorain he would keep Timko on the job, if possible. "If you have good people, you're going to lose good people in many cases," Ritenauer said. "I wish him well, I wish him nothing but the best."
The change most likely won't cause any disruption to water and services in Lorain, Ritenauer said. Doug Brown, superintendent of Lorain's PQM Wastewater Treatment Plant, will serve as interim director, Ritenauer said. The utilities director job description has certain sanitary treatment licensing requirements; Ritenauer said he would re-examine the job description because in some communities the utilities director serves more like a business manager than treatment specialist. Timko could have future interactions with Lorain in his work at North Ridgeville. The French Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant could serve as a potential regional treatment plant for more communities. North Ridgeville officials have not ruled out that option, but future planning will be driven by Lorain officials, Gillock said.

There are many frustrations that come with an ileostomy. When I had my ileostomy, going to the bathroom became quite a process. Emptying the bag every few hours was one of the processes done many times a day and night. But in addition, there was a second process. Every couple of days the entire ileostomy bag had to be replaced. That actually was quite time consuming though it was something I became more and more efficient at.
The process of changing the bag required the removal of the old stuck on seal, the cleaning off of the old glue from my hairy-stubbly belly, having to shave around my stoma (while my stoma keeps pumping stool), waiting 10 minutes while the skin dries completely (and my stoma keeps pumping stool), making my way from the shower to my bed (while my stoma keeps pumping stool), cutting the new seal to fit my stoma, gluing on the newly cut seal, and laying flat in order that the bag be secured in place without a gap (all while my stoma keeps pumping stool).
Those were the two regular routines I could always count on happening. Most frustrating of all, however, was dealing with a leaky ileostomy bag when I was out and about town. Sometimes I would spring a leak just sitting at the movies or playing pool, and once it was in the pews at a friend's wedding! It happens. I just had to deal with it. But if I may be so crude I will share with you what I actually told myself and those friends and family who were near and dear enough to my heart and near enough to ask what was wrong. For some reason, "It happens" just didn't seem to cut it. Rather I would say "S%#t happens!" Most appropriate, don't you think?
I found comfort in noting that leaks started to happen less and less. I lived with an ileostomy for a year. It was long enough to experience hot sweat-filled summers in Georgia and visit friends in the dead of winter in New York and New Jersey. For me, hot humid and ultimately sweaty days in Georgia were the hardest. I learned that a well-attached ileostomy pouch lasted longer in colder dryer weather than an equally well-placed ileostomy pouch in hot humid weather. In Georgia, I typically changed bags every two days (to be safe), rather than wait three or four days (and hope for the best). More often than not that prevented problems, even though I hated to remove a really well secured bag that might have lasted three or four days. Attaching a bag on your skin is not a science. Each time can be slightly different. I just went with the flow! (pun intended)!
The biggest plus to having an ileostomy was being 100% pain-free. Another big plus was being able to eat whatever and whenever I wanted. I could even eat fruit and vegetables! I mean, what's the worst thing eating a variety of foods could do? Give me diarrhea?

Unemployment has stayed doggedly over the 8% mark, and today's GDP report doesn't indicate that it can inch much lower before the elections.
This morning's 1.5% reading on gross domestic product report for the second quarter slightly beat expectations, but it's still a puny number. And since no sitting president has been reelected when the jobless rate is over 7.8%, President Obama is going to have to campaign that much harder to win the election.
Today's market rally is probably due to traders gaming Obama's decreasing chances for a second term, and wishful thinking for another round of quantitative easing.
