|709. Dr. Robert Horn to Cecil.
|According to Cecil's commandment, signified by Railton, the writer has considered the honourable device for the order of divine service in Berwick, with the yearly stipends of the ministers. Is sorry that the ministry is destitute of a sufficiency of worthy men, there and in other places. The entertainment of the preacher should be 100l., the curate 60l., the coadjutor 40l. 13s. 4d., which might be so augmented that the Queen should bear no greater charge. The sum allowed by her is 153l. 6s. 8d., out of which allow the teacher 100l. the curate 40l., and 20l which the cathedral church of Durham must pay yearly; so of her portion remains 13l. 6s. 8d. To the church of Durham belongs the whole cure of Berwick, and therefore it were not unmeet that one of the prebendaries should be a coadjutor to the other ministers. The prebendaries' stipend is 33l. 6s. 8d., whereunto might be added the 13l. 6s. 8d. remaining. A convenient place for them to dwell in should be thought of. Cannot find meet men for these rooms, especially for the chief preacher. For the curate there is one Sanderson of Christ's College, Cambridge, both for his learning and honesty a very meet man, and born in Northumberland. Cuthbert Diconson is both zealous in religion and of honest life and conversation, and therefore he is a meet man for clerk. There are two prebends void in Durham, whereof one might be worthily bestowed on Adam Halyday, and the other on such a man as they would appoint to be coadjutor. —13 Nov. Signed.

|710. The Queen to the Governors of the Merchant Adventurers.
|Having to pay 30,000l. to her creditors in Antwerp this month, she requires them, according to their agreement, to pay the said sum to Gresham before the end of the month at the rate of 22s. 6d. Flemish for the pound, or better, as the exchange shall arise; the same will be repaid by the Treasurer of England within one month.

|711. Randolph to Cecil.
|1. Since the taking of Castle Semple, the Duke and the Earl of Arran have for the most part remained in this town, where are now divers of the Lords assembled, and more daily looked for. Their purpose is to take order for the maintenance of justice, attending what answer shall be returned out of France to authorize them further. Trusts that Cecil is sufficiently assured of their affection towards England and desire for amity by the Ambassadors.
|2. Forasmuch as the greatest present disorder is about the Borders, the Lords have promised such reformation of the whole as the cause requires, whereof the bearer, a servant of Lord Gray, can inform him.
|3. Other matters like to breed any cumber are presently so well quelled that little is to be doubted. Lord Semple is yet at Dunbar; his eldest son by his last wife, and the Laird of Glencairn are gone to France. The Master of Semple presently labours unto the Lords for his father; it is suspected to be more of policy than good meaning. The Earl of Huntly changes nothing of his good nature. There was lately taken in Fife, one Wilson, as he was ready to set his foot into the ship, with letters into France, of which Cecil shall be privy by the Laird of Lethington. He escaped out of the hands of those that had the keeping of him, and is thought to be in Dunbar. It is said that the Earl of Montgomery intends to go into France; Lethington can show the cause thereof. This should be impeached by all means, for that his lands lie next unto the west seas in places most to be doubted, if any attempt shall be given by the French on that coast.
|4. The Bishop of St. Andrews makes many crafty means to win some favour. The Bishop of Murray has agreed with Lord Ruthven, and speaks fair. Was of late, by the advice of Lord James, Lord Pitarrow, and Balnaves, in hand with the Clerk of the Register to have the confirmation in Parliament of the treaty between England and Scotland signed with his hand, as a perpetual and authentic testimony. He answered that he could give no such testimony under his hand, at any private man's request, whatever he were; however he would not refuse to give his advice, as he judged for the best, which is to tarry until the Council be established, or the contract of peace confirmed, and then suit to be made to the Council that he may be commanded to that effect. The contract remains yet in his [Randolph's] hands, subscribed and sealed by as many as he has any present hope in, though perhaps at the next assembly some one or other may be won thereunto. Encloses the last letter he had from the Earl of Argyll, with the credit of the same underwritten together with his answer. Gives his most humble thanks for his favourable remembrance, as appeared in his letters to Sir Francis Leeke.—Edinburgh, 15 (fn. 1) November 1560. Signed.

|713. Edward Grimstone to the Marquis of Winchester.
|According to the commandment of the Marquis, signified by his letter of the 1st inst., the writer has caused to be seen the provisions here and at Holy Island, the estimate and particulars whereof he encloses. The whole mass of oats with some part of the malt is neitheme et to be any length kept nor yet to be expended with the other provisions; it occupies both space and travail, and yet daily grows to decay. The Queen sustains more charge for the chambers and keeping of some part thereof than the grain will shortly be worth. The quantity of oats is great and not like of any speedy utterance here; nevertheless his opinion is that it were good if he sent commission to some trusty person to make sale of the whole mass of the oats, and such part of the malt and other provisions as is not meet to be issued out of the Queen's store. Will further discourse with him when he repairs to the Court.—Berwick, 16 Nov. 1560. Signed.

|716. Throckmorton to the Queen.
|1. As he signified to Mr. Secretary by letters sent by the Laird of Torwoodhead, he [Throckmorton] staid at Paris until the passing of Du Bois, who passed with 1,500 men towards Angers and Nantes; as this gives great cause for suspicion the writer went to Orleans, where he arrived on the 4th, and immediately spoke with the Ambassador of Scotland, who on the 5th at night came secretly to his lodgings; where he declared how he had proceeded with the King and Queen and Council since his arrival, of whose doings the bearer can inform the Queen.
|2. The Ambassador told him that he had not, as then, had any commodity to show his commission or demand the ratification; and that on the 6th inst he was appointed to show the commission, and minded to demand the ratification Although commanded by her letter of 19th Oct. to require audience, the writer waited until he knew the answer given to the Scotch Ambassador, after which he could proceed more groundly. Perceiving on the 7th that nothing was done touching the ratification of the treaty between France and Scotland but fair words he sent Mr. Somers to speak to the Cardinal for audience, who answered that it could not be next day, as the King was determined to go hunting.
|3. After some delays and disappointments, he spoke with the King and the Cardinal on the 10th, and demanded the ratification. They said that the Master of St. John's of Scotland was indeed come, but the King was so impeded with his own affairs that he had not given him audience, which he would do on the morrow, and then he [Throckmorton] should know from the Cardinal when he might have audience.
|4. Having received no answer from the Cardinal, but hearing by good means that the treaty of Scotland was found imperfect and likely to be a long affair, on the 14th he again sent Somers to the Court, requiring audience, saying that more letters had come from the Queen, and it was granted for the morrow, the 15th.
|5. On the 14th the Lord of St. John's was earnest with the Cardinal for some resolution touching his charge, who replied that the Council found that the Scots sought to reduce their realm to the form of a republic. They had seen that the Scots had sent him hither in post to the King and Queen, but a great legation with great pomp to the Queen of England. The Cardinal also told him he should have his despatch on the 17th, and that two gentlemen should be sent shortly to declare why the King and Queen refuse to ratify their treaty.
|6. On the 15th the writer went to Court and first saw the Cardinal, who said that he must take patience.
|7. The writer enquired whether the King meant to ratify the treaty. And when the Cardinal replied he should hear the King's pleasure anon, he said that his mistress would find this strange handling from a Prince bearing her amity.
|8. First, contrary to treaty, he bears her arms quartered with his own, even on every gate of this town, and here at the Court gate very notoriously.
|9. Secondly, the Queen's subjects are daily spoiled at sea, and can get no restitution.
|10. Thirdly, that ships are prepared at divers ports, such as Havre de Grace, and preparations made for a great navy; also, that forces are amassed in France, Almaine, and Switzerland, and the galleys, which were to have wintered at Nantes, are victualled, and shall shortly be brought into the narrow seas. The Cardinal answered that the King had used the arms of England long before, and not without title; and he saw not why he should discontinue it, for the treaty was no treaty until it was ratified. For Scotland, the King and Queen have the name of its Sovereigns, and Elizabeth has the effect, with whom they have made a league, which the King cannot like. Therefore shortly he will send two gentlemen to tell the Queen, (who has already broken the treaty by giving passport to the Scots to enter England without letters to the Ambassador,) why he refuses to ratify the treaty, and then they shall pass into Scotland.
|11. As for the spoiling, the complaint was too general; if they be informed of the offenders, and can get no redress, then there would be cause for complaint.
|12. As for the ships, he said it is true the Admiral equips four or five, some for Brazil and some for Myne [Minas Geraes], and if there be any other matter in it, it will cost him his head. The French were not so jealous of five or six ships which were ready to come forth of the Thames. He also said that, for the men, the English had more cause to suspect them when in Picardy than where they now are; and assured him on his honour that not a man is levied in Almaine or Switzerland.
|13. As for the galleys, he said that many of their chief men shall winter at Marseilles; that the King must move his ships somewhere, and that he is not so jealous when the Queen moves her ships from place to place. This great legation, said he, from Scotland, goes for the marriage of the Queen with the Earl of Arran; but thinks her heart too great to marry such a one as one of the Queen of Scotland's subjects. He concluded by saying that the King will see the better obedience of his subjects before he will ratify the treaty.
|14. The writer was then shown into the King's presence, to whom he declared he had come for the ratification of the treaty, who answered that, as his subjects in Scotland had in no point observed their duty to him, he could not ratify the treaty, but would send two gentlemen to the Queen about this; and so, adding he was sure his uncle the Cardinal had answered the writer in all points, dismissed him.
|15. The writer reiterated to the Duke of Guise this strange manner of dealing; he answered the same as the Cardinal, except that he added they had more cause to complain, as well the taking of the goods of his brother, the Marquis D'Elbœuf, as of sundry other spoils. He then desired to speak with the Queen Mother, and was brought to her by M. De Lansac. She was accompanied by the Marshal Brissac, to whom he repeated at length the injuries offered to his mistress, and the refusal of the King and Council to ratify the treaty. She answered she was aware of their determination; and as for the injuries and suspicions, she was sure the Cardinal and the Duke of Guise had opened enough to content him, adding she would do her best to maintain amity between the realms.
|16. While she was talking, the French Queen came in, and upon his saying that he was commanded by his mistress to demand of her the ratification of the treaty, she answered that the reply of the King and Council should have sufficed, but that now she would tell him what moved her to refuse it. "My subjects in Scotland" (quoth she) "do their duty in nothing, nor have they performed their part in one thing that belongeth to them. I am their Queen, and so they call me, but they use me not so; they have done what pleaseth them, and though I have not many faithful there, yet those few that be there on my party were not present when these matters were done, nor at this assembly. I will have them assemble by my authority, and proceed in their doings by the laws of the realm, which they so much boast of, and keep none of them. They have sent hither a poor gentleman to me, whom I disdain to have come in the name of them all, to the King and me, in such a legation. They have sent great personages to your mistress. I am their Sovereign, but they take me not so; they must be taught to know their duties." In this speech the Queen uttered some choler and anger against them. He replied that Lord St. John was Great Prior of Scotland. She said she did not take him for such, he being married. And when the writer added that if she proceeded graciously with the said Lord, the Scots were minded to send after a greater legation, then the King and she, said she, must begin with them. The writer was sorry the ratification was refused, other injuries offered to the Queen, and the arms of England openly borne. She replied that her uncles had already satisfied him about bearing the arms, and requested him to do the office of a good minister between the Queen and her. Such was the negociation on the 15th.
|17. Is told by the Duke of Guise that MM. De Noailles and De Croc are to be those sent into Scotland.
|18. (fn. 2) The King of Navarre, on his way to Court, had letters informing him of the good opinion of the King. On his arrival with his brethren, the Cardinal of Bourbon and the Prince of Condé, the Prince was taken before the Council, who committed him prisoner to MM. De Bressy and Chauveney, two captains with 200 archers, and he hears he will soon be sent to Loches, the strongest prison in France. The King of Navarre goes at liberty, but is as it were a prisoner; every other day he is out hunting, and lies out of the town at his pleasure. He seems to allow his brother's handling. The King has sent one to the Pope to acknowledge his obedience. He foregoes his governorship of Guyenne, which shall be given to M. De Termes.
|19. Madame De Roy, the sister of the Admiral of France and mother to the Princess of Condé, is taken prisoner. It is said the Vidame of Chartres will come to Orleans, where the Knights of the Order shall be assembled. The President and Council of the Parliament of Paris, in whose hands the Prince of Condé's trial is, have said that he may only be judged by his peers, being of the blood royal.
|20. The Duchess of Ferrara, mother of the present Duke, arrived at Court on the 7th, and was received by the King of Navarre and other Princes. M. De Martigues has lately been at Paris, and committed himself to justice, for manner's sake, for the late outrage there. He is pardoned, and is now much made of, and waited on by twenty of the bravest captains of France.
|21. The King keeps his estate at Orleans, and all armour is taken from the townsmen. Marshal Termes is at Poictiers, where the townspeople are used as they are at Orleans.
|22. The Cardinal of Tournon, the Pope's Legate in France, is arrived here. All places from here to Bordeaux are very quiet, but all the coast is furnished with soldiers, as he is informed by one Swanne, the Queen's subject.
|23. The house of Guise practises to have the Queen Mother made Regent at the next assembly, so as all the power shall be theirs.
|24. The French King minds to convert all his abbeys into commanderies of divers orders, as in Spain.
|25. Ferdinand of Austria levies men in Almaine. The Rhinegrave is still there, it is not known why, and goes from one Prince to another.
|26. The Sophy is dead, and his son has joined with Bazajet, the Turk's second son, to deprive the Turk of his dominions, which news so displeased him that he is thereupon dead.
|27. The King's Court goes to Chenonceau, the Queen Mother's house, on the 19th, and does not return hither until the Estates are assembled.
|28. Two sons of O'Connor, who have been in France eight years, are lately despatched into Ireland.
|29. It is secretly said that something is in hand touching the isles of Guernsey, Jersey, and Scilly.
|30. There is advertisement come from the French agent in Flanders that the Duchess of Parma has put to death two subjects of the Queen of England for religion, and the French seem very glad of it. An Ambassador named M. De Moreto is come from the Duke of Savoy, who shall shortly go to England, and De Lignerol also. Sarlabois shall leave Dunbar, and Croc remain in his stead. The King of Spain makes ready 100 galleys and a great army to renew his enterprise of Tripoli, but many doubt this. He owes twenty-one millions of ducats, and were it not for his new mines, he had been brought very low. The Pope has allowed him to sell 50,000 crowns of spiritual revenue, and the profit will be at least two million crowns. The said King has sent to the French King a present of six beautiful jennets, and suffered his servants to buy fifteen others in Spain. The General Council, is by the consent of the Pope, the Emperor, and the Kings of France and Spain, appointed to be at Trent, where will assist the Kings of Portugal, Poland, and Navarre, and the States of Italy. Monsieur De Ferme (who went with M. De Bourdeziere to Rome) is returned with the Pope's grant for taking 100,000 crowns of the spiritual revenue to be sold, and the money thereby procured is to be employed against the Protestants and heretics. The Queen's arms have been set up, quartered, when the King made his entry into St. Denis, and also here, where they still remain upon the town and Court gates. The King hopes to have of his suspected towns and subjects about three millions of francs. There are four ships of war at Newhaven, said to be for Brazil, and four more in Bretagne for Peru. A great personage of this Court has said that if the King had not been constrained to punish his subjects, the Queen's realm had ere this felt him. He will make a citadel at Calais, stretching to St. Peter's Church, where the haven shall be conveyed into the town, and order is given to Mons. De Trez, Master of the Ordnance there, to bring about the galleys, and let them remain there. In order that the galleys may turn better, it is devised to make a part of them shorter, and also a new mould of galleys. An Englishman, Hector Wentworth, who has been in France twelve years, being withal a proper man with an auburn beard, has robbed his master, Captain Boys, Master of the Camp, and is fled into England. He before served Charlebois, and was in Leith when it was besieged ; good heed should be taken of him. Is by secret and credible means told that the King has taken up in Auvergne and Bretagne 800 oxen, part being already in Normandy, feeding. Earl Bothwell, who promised to do great things in Scotland, shall be despatched hence forthwith. He is now staid from going, and has had a present of 600 crowns, and is made a gentleman of the King's chamber. (fn. 3)

|718. Throckmorton to the Lords of the Council.
|1. After having recapitulated the account of his audience, as in his letter to the Queen of the same date, the writer proceeds thus :
|2. Certain merchants of London have complained to him of the loss of tin depredated on them by one Citeville, of Normandy. They have brought a letter from the Privy Council for him to set forth their request. Has preferred their complaint to the Council, who within four days despatched a commission under the Great Seal to M. De Villebon, Governor in Normandy in the absence of the Duke of Bouillon, to see them restored to their goods. This was the good expedition that the Duke of Guise spoke of. Recommends Mr. Jones to them, and urges them to give him some reward.—Orleans, 17 Nov. 1560. Signed.

|719. Throckmorton to Cecil.
|1. Wishes that others would, as Cecil will, weigh these men's proceedings, which be of such danger as to be cared for in time. They will assay their fortune, and the King of Spain will suffer the Queen to be in such a case as that she will be driven to pray him to do what he please with that state and realm ; to which point he accounts England must come, as she displeases all, and satisfies none. The Lord S. John of Scotland has behaved most discreetly. The Queen has had good cause to be pleased with him for her own particular affairs. Prays Cecil to see when he comes to England that she allow well of his doings. Hears from Chamberlain that he can obtain of the King of Spain little favour to keep one of his servants from the Inquisitor's apprehension. That amity will prove worse than enmity ; it fears him more than the French ; and he will occasion more inconvenience. Trusts the Queen will believe he means not well.
|2. Although these men promised to send their ministers to satisfy the Queen for the stay of the ratification, yet she shall not hear of them these twenty days. Peradventure M. De Sevre will say something to retain them in hope, so that the spring may be advanced before they think of the matter.
|3. Will say shortly how the refusing of the ratification comes to pass. First to save their honour and interest, whereunto they were egged by the Spanish practice. Then the hasty disarming of the English, and especially the navy ; the Queen's great inclination to live in pleasure and quiet, that neither counsellor or conductor was rewarded. That all men who did at this time service were displeased that the Queen would do her pleasure in all things, so that there was none to take special care of the affairs. "And chiefly, that they take it for truth and certain she will marry Lord Robert Dudley, whereby they assure themselves that all foreign alliance and aid is shaken off, and do expect more discontentation thereby among yourselves. Thus you see your sore, God grant it do not with rankling fester too far and too dangerously."—Orleans, 17 Nov. 1560. Signed.

|720. Throckmorton to the Marquis of Northampton and Lord Pembroke.
|The bruits lately risen from England are marvellous and marvellously talked of ; they are accompanied with much spite, and set so full with great horror. They are no mean persons that give in these parts these rumours ; he never heard or read of sorer or more slanderous discourse. The writer speaks as he ought to move them to do as they should, which he trusts he would do though he held his peace. The Marquis was never deemed a busy body, and specially in matters accompanied with peril, therefore he begs him not to begin to wrestle in a matter so beset with dangers, and to esteem the marriage matter the most beset with great hazards of anything that he was ever acquainted with, and begs him to be only a looker on. If he be so happy as not to mind it, or so zealous as to hinder it, he may think himself wise for his judgment. Will send his key when his coffer is ready.

|721. Throckmorton to Lord Robert Dudley.
|1. Has received his letter of the 20th October. Upon receipt of the Queen's letters of that date he demanded eftsoons ratification of the late treaty from the French King and Council; at whose hands has had hitherto but barren words with delays, which shows well that they are not so easy in performing as ready to fall to agreement by treaty. This has not deceived him, for it has happened as he ever declared from the beginning. Much the Queen and her realm have to bethink themselves, knowing these men's meanings. Unless the Queen leave other things of less weight undone till another time, he sees before his eyes that she shall hear a French cast (as Dudley terms it) sooner than he would be glad of.
|2. As for the garboils here, whose continuance Dudley writes were a ready way to get him home, he does not see that any great one is like long to reign here, things having grown to such silence and quietness by the imprisoning of the Vidame of Chartres, the Prince De Condé, Madame De Roy, and others, that he is sorry to see it, not that he would have [discord] amongst Christians ; but he fears (fn. 5) . . . .
|3. The King of Navarre is here, where, though he be no prisoner like the Prince, yet as he cannot depart ; for all the good countenance and cheer that he is of, he holds him tanquam captivus. Though the writer has begged the Queen to determine of his abode here, and thereof made his account, still he must conform himself to her will and pleasure like a good subject, though he is well persuaded that his being at home would serve her better than his stay here. For further particulars of his proceedings here, he refers him to the bearer.

|1. The bearer is sent Ambassador from the Duke of Savoy to congratulate with the Queen on her accession to the crown, which has been prevented before by the unquietness in his master's kingdom. He is son and heir to old Morette, who was Ambassador from the late King Francis to Henry VIII., and is well known to Lords Pembroke, Northampton, and others. He is also, in his master's name, to break with the Queen for her marriage with the Duke of Nemours. He was told by the Pope's Ambassador that he would come in good time to Her Highness' marriage with the master of her horses. He says that the Kings of France and Spain are most desirous for the marriage with the Duke of Nemours to take effect, whereof the writer warns him [Cecil] as he does the Queen by letter.

|725. Francis Edwards to Cecil.
|1. Wrote last on the 8th and 12th inst. signifying that two of the French King's ships were at Newhaven nearly ready, set forth by the Lord Admiral to go to the Indies. Since then he has been advertised that another smaller ship makes ready to keep them company. Some are of opinion that they all three go abroad aroving, others think that if they turn their voyage they will to the isle of Bretagne, or to the river of Nantes. It is to be considered that, if they go to accompany the galleys, there may be pretended some other voyage. Cannot perceive that they are furnished with mariners, men are so ill willing to serve the Lord Admiral to go on such a voyage. Such munitions as were unshipped at Dieppe are laid up ; part of the same artillery of brass, with provision for the same, has been secretly conveyed to the waterside, to be shipped with speed to Calais. Will abroad himself within days two, and come as near the truth as may be perceived. Most men are of opinion that the French will not be able to send their ships abroad, before amongst themselves they can accord. In secret it is spoken that they make provision to keep the coasts at home. The Cardinal of Lorraine and the Duke of Guise fear that the people of this country will seek aid of the Queen.
|2. The Duke of Bouillon is returned to Dieppe, and will peruse the coast unto Caen. Cannot perceive any other army by sea, nor that they pretend to go to any place in Scotland ; nevertheless the galleys from Marseilles are to be considered. They will remain where they are until the Cardinal of Lorraine ends the matters in Orleans. After correction done there the Protestants look for them here, and for the galleys to come to this town. There is much trouble towards, as men think. Certain Protestants supposed to have been at Amboise are in prison, one of whom was counsel to him that made the leaguer. There is secret talk that the Constable's second son was sent for, and resisted.
3. Men suppose that the Queen of Navarre and her son are
sent for to the Court. The Vidame departed from Paris to
Orleans to declare against the Prince De Condé. The King
has already taken from the town of Orleans 10,000 francs,
and demands 100,000 more to pay his soldiers. The goods
of divers Protestants have been seized, and divers men despatched by night, and sent by water in sacks to seek heaven.
The King sends men into Bretagne. The Grand Prior in his
own person was seen as captain in the galleys at Rochelle.
These two days the burgesses of the town have assembled
to choose burgesses for the Parliament, but as yet are not
agreed. It was proclaimed that the Parliament should be
kept at Orleans.—Rouen, 18 Nov. 1560. Signed.

|1. Received his last letters in August, which he answered from the fair at Frankfort. The canton of Glaris (which had received the Gospel thirty years before,) made a treaty with the five subdivisions of the canton, an unfortunate war having arisen, the chief point of which was to insure freedom of religion to both Protestants and Catholics; so that in four of the divisions of Glaris it was lawful to erect altars and images, and also to preach the Gospel. In one of these, called Schwanden, there was no Mass celebrated for some years, because there were no Papists there. The five divisions did not wish that Mass should be celebrated there, and so it ceased. The Protestants of Glaris are therefore accused of breaking the treaty, which they deny. Nevertheless the five divisions threaten the inhabitants of Schwanden with war unless they celebrate Mass there. They reply that if any desired to celebrate Mass there they might do so. The five divisions demanded that the Protestants of Glaris should go back to the old religion; adding that if they did not do so they would not acknowledge them as their allies, and would demand assistance against them from the other cantons. Thereupon the Zurichers made a levy, and sent 2,000 men, and kept 4,000 more ready. The Bernese levied 6,000 and sent 2,000. Affairs began to be better after this, but the five cantons again in the Diet protested that they would not acknowledge those of Glaris as confederates, nor hold any intercourse with them. At length a pacification was brought about and assemblies appointed, and in the meantime it was agreed that neither party should use arms.
|2. Burcher has repudiated his wife on account of adultery, and has gone abroad, but where is not known. The news from France is unfavourable; that tumult in France will place the sword in the hands of these furious men and afford them a pretext for persecuting the Protestants. There is a report that the Queen of England will marry the King of Sweden, but the writer thinks it unfounded.—Zurich, 18 Nov. 1560. Signed.

New Delhi, Mar 25: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday, Mar 24 said that Judges cannot be treated equal to MPs and MLAs with regard to asset declaration since such information may be misused.
"Public interest standard for the judiciary has to be different from other institutions. So judges have to be treated differently from people's representative on the issue," Justice S Ravindra Bhat said while hearing an RTI applicant who argued that that judges, like MPs and MLAs, should declare their assets.
Supreme Court had challenged an order passed on Jan 2006 by CIC directing the apex court to reveal information pertaining to assets declared by its judges before the Chief Justice. The High Court was hearing the above petition.
"Judges have to work according to law and without fear. For the proper functioning of judiciary it has to be liberated from all kinds of fear. Election Commission and other such institutions are vibrant because they are independent,"" Justice Bhat observed, also stating that if a judge refused to disclose his assets there was no law that can force him to do so.

So Much Has Changed posted by Gichira
1 post on this topic, 811 views
Hey Guys,
Songwriter Eric Gichira here. Got a new title that I've recently self published.
So Much Has Changed' is the title
of the ebook. It's a great lyric book which
contains country song lyrics. I kindly request you buy this title. Would also
be honored if you'd list it in your website/ blog/ newsletter, etc. Kindly feel
free to include the books' details on any of your social networking platforms
and let your friends, fans, (followers?), readers, etc, know about this
insightful book. I'll really appreciate. I've indicated the Amazon links
to the books below. Depending on your preferred location or geographical area.
So Much Has Changed
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011IFTJYI [US]
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B011IFTJYI [UK]
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B011IFTJYI [CANADA]
http://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B011IFTJYI [AUSTRALIA]
Teaser / Blurb:
So competitive is the music business that getting the right placement for your song, if you're a songwriter, can be a very frustrating venture. While songwriters have TAXI and other such leading independent A&R companies to thank, not everyone is lucky enough to get a Record or a Publishing deal.
Not to mention that getting the right contacts in the music business is ever becoming difficult by the day. What to do for songwriters? Don't give up. Stay focused and consistent. Continue to be proactive as you do your thing.
Nothing beats innovation. Be inventive in your songwriting. Make your songs feel totally natural. Now, honest lyrics, touching on what people go through every day, make for a good example. Make your songs believable. Make them have the I know someone who's going through what that song says' feeling.
Always bring your - A - Game into songwriting if you expect to succeed. Did I mention that super melodies are a must? It's definitely what makes people like, and remember a song. That aside, it pays to keep your lyrics conversational, uplifting and to the point.
Add to it: memorable chorus, catchy hooks, imaginative storyline, and a superb presentation and you've got a great song cooking.
Songwriting is essentially storytelling. Always approach it with that in mind. What story do you want to tell us? What morals do you want us to take home? How do you want us to feel after listening to your song? And most importantly, what do you want us to remember after listening to your song?
As a fringe, and in addition, ask yourself if your song is relevant and if it has a universal appeal. Hope the lyrics in this book will help you get a clearer picture about what songwriting entails. Hope, too, that by buying and going through this lyric book, you'll become a better lyricist/songwriter, than you are at the moment. There's nothing as good as learning and improving on what you're good at. Who knows? You might just be tomorrow's greatest hit maker!
Never forget, lyrics with ironic twists, smart wordplay and a poetic vibe about them, are definitely sure sellers. The idea is to write a song that delivers a knock-out punch. Fresh, unique and with a huge commercial appeal.
Add to the mix: a theme on love, life, and relationship and you've got a sure winner. Won't hurt to explore other themes like: overcoming challenges, heartbreak, loss, and rediscovering yourself in the process.
About This Book:
So Much Has Changed' is the forth book in the series: Country All The Way'. It's written with you in mind and contains lyrics that will help you in your songwriting. Ideal for you, this lyric book is also ideal for anyone looking for lyrics to use for their next hit.
The title lyric, So Much Has Changed, 'is a double treat. There's the Male Vocals version that's found in Part One of this book, and there's the Female Vocals version, found in Part Two of this book. Both are sure treats for leading Country Singers (and Musicians) looking for great lyrics for their next hit.
Each of the three parts contains 10 lyrics, making for a total of 30 awesome lyrics. Definitely a bargain for every singer and songwriter out there!
Though I've tackled other themes in this book, the leading theme is about relationships and the changes (and challenges) that they undergo. Perhaps the reason why I settled for the title: So Much Has Changed.
Grab yourself a copy' and you'll be doing yourself a huge favor. And hey, don't forget to tell your friends about it.

You purchased your S60 because its sporty handling and Swedish engineering agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? When your Volvo S60 rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who values European styling in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Volvo vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to fix your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles these days.
Getting the most out of your car or truck depends on how well you maintain your engine and exhaust parts. The engine in your Volvo S60 gives up some efficiency and emissions, and it needs a system to control positive crankcase ventilation with a working PCV valve. Usually located on your valve cover or cylinder head, your Volvo S60 PCV valve is a one-way valve that receives the escaping exhaust blow-by from the crankcase and routes it into the intake. This is much better than simply venting it into the atmosphere, which is what all engines did before they were equipped with a positive crankcase ventilation valve.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Procuring new Volvo parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement S60 parts on the internet. Don't let a broken PCV Valve bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. Need 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 Volvo S60 PCV Valve parts? We've got them right here.

May be something in the closet but who the heck has that many kids now days well except for that person in Arkansas with something like 17 or 18.
Nobody needs that large of a family.
#24 Jan 22, 2008
I think anyone who has more than 2 kids (unless they have triplets, etc.) are irresponsible and sick. Firstly, bringing even one child into the world with the state it is in is questionable. When you have more children than parents in the house, it is impossible to keep control (unless you turn the kids into robots). Anytime I see one of the "mega families" the kids all have the same haircut, they all play an instrument, and are usually home-schooled. In short, these parents are living out some kind of perverse need to be in control. If these people had access to political power, they would show themselves to be Hitlers, Stalins and Maos. They simply want to control as may people as possible. Furthermore, it is impossible to devote the proper amount of one-on-one time to each kid or to their spouse. I'm not for the government getting involved by mandating birth control... but I do think these people should be subject to mental evaluation!

In the old days, families were MUCH larger than they are now. If a family can afford it, who are we to say how many kids they are allowed to have.
My husbands aunt, for example, is 80+ yrs
old...and raised 11 kids.(and not Mormon, and all from one man and one woman) In the 70's when I was in school, I had 3 friends, ALL of them came from families with 8,12 and 15 kids.
Look how many families we read about in the news, with 1 or 2 children...that neglected or harmed, or worse.

Well you are real intelligent! You must not have a family to say that anymore than 2 kids is irresponsible. I was one of 6, with 2 parents. When I was growing up, it was called responsibility, not control. This was a mistake and thankfully, this child was ok. People make mistakes you know, but then again, you must be perfect and not require a mental evaluation and you are probably an only child. Children are a gift from God. Talk to me when you have 22 year old daughter that can no longer have children (she has one and is lucky to have her) through no fault of her own. Talk to me when you grow old have no one there for you. Growing up in a large family is awesome. But you probably will never experience that.

As a kid, I was very quiet and a bookworm. Everywhere I went I carried and read books, even when walking.
When my parents had five kids, my mother accidently drove off and left me at my aunt's house. She noticed after about 30 minutes that I wasn't in the car. Mom returned to find me in the room where all the books were stored. I didn't even know she had forgotten me.
#39 Jan 24, 2008
That's horrible! How can you forget your child! I mean, honestly! You think they'd at least notice in the car or something! But no, they didn't even realize it until they were home and tucking their other kids into bed. These people shouldn't have the blessing of fourteen children. They obviously can't take care of them all.

|Thu, 27 Jan 2005 11:01:17 GMT
Avoid merging third-party binaries in the main jar -------------------------------------------------- Key: DIREVE-134 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-134 Project: Directory Server Type: Improvement Versions: 0.8 Reporter: Stephane Bailliez Assigned to: Alex Karasulu I would highly recommend modifying the packaging strategy. Merging all dependencies into the main jar will be extremely painful for users, especially those who need to embed it will more than certainly conflict with their version of antlr, commons-collections, commons-lang, commons-logging, regexp, oro, aspectj. If you want to merge, you need also to modify the packages so that there could be no conflict.. which is worth it for a product like Weblogic. Certainly not for ApacheDS I think it would be better to use the Class-Path in the manifest to indicates clearly your dependencies and also name the jar appropriately to figure out the version at first sight (since the manifest versioning is often not used) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Summer Cruise 2013
Sail Date: July 01, 2013
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Traveled As: Family (young children)
Room Type: Suite
The lines for the food were ridiculous. Long long lines. Especially the pizza line. Whatever process they were using to make the pizzas and get them out simply did not work. Lastly\, I have never been on a cruise and not been able to find someone to get me a beverage. There were very few wait staff inside the ship. I was hit every 5 feet by a waiter when I was out by the pool. Also\, very few waiters in the entertainment areas\, ie.. where we played trivia\, watched the piano player\, etc.
We took our 3 year old and I was very pleased with how the staff treated him and how they went out of their way to make him happy.
All in all\, it was a good cruise.
Pros: Staff
Cons: Food lines

When Should Past Champions Hang Up Their Green Jackets?
By mustang6560 on 4/6/12
The Masters, like the PGA Championship, grants its winners a lifetime exemption to play the tournament, so regardless of your current standing in the Official World Golf Ranking, you are always invited back to the sacred grounds of Augusta National.
But, with great power comes great responsibility, so my question is "At what point should past champions respectfully decline their invitation?"
For example, let's discuss Sandy Lyle. The 1988 Masters champion
opened with a 14-over par 86 in the 2012 Masters. I mean no disrespect to the Scotsman, but he had more bogeys and double bogeys than pars, and he did not have a single birdie. Also, what about Craig Stadler, the 1982 Masters champion? He did five strokes better than Sandy, but his 9-over par 81 is nothing to write home about.
Personally, I think if you are a past champion and you shoot two rounds in the 80s, it's time to consider hanging up the green jacket. By playing in the Masters and posting an NBA-type score, you are taking away the opportunity for a younger player to contend for his own green jacket. The idea of a lifetime exemption is nice and all, but there comes a point where opting to use it becomes selfish and I think Sandy and Craig are getting to that point quickly.
I would like to think I would do the right thing and decline the invitation to make way for a younger golfer.

They aren't taking any spots away from anyone. If you meet specifc criteria, you're in, otherwise, you're out.
I've heard that Augusta does make "requests" to past champions to not continue playing, because they are no longer competitive. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
joe jones says:
I would like to pose a question. Would you like to be the person that suggests to Arnold Palmer, Gary Player or Jack Nicklaus that they HAVE to quit playing. I think not. A few players go far beyond the point where they should quit but if they feel ok with the score so be it. Most realize that the time has come but it should be left up to the players themselves to decide.
bkuehn1952 says:
Whether a past champion plays or not, they are not taking anyone's spot. The Masters as a set criteria for an invitation and when a person drops out, they do not let in an alternate. That being said, I agree with you that past champions need to stop playing when their participation becomes a distraction to the other players and/or they have little or no chance of making the cut. Sandy Lyle finished 20th in 2009 but he looked like a donkey among thoroughbreds Thursday. Hope he was just having a bad day.
mustang6560 says:
I know the Masters has a criteria, but the folks at ANGC will be less likely to extend special invitations if the field is filled with irrelevant past champions.
mustang6560 says:
@joe jones- I think Sandy Lyle and Craig Stadler are much different than Arnold, Gary and Jack. I would have no problem telling Craig/Sandy to hit the road.
mjaber says:
I don't think AGNC extends special invitations very often, or very many. I think they only gave out 1 this year. It's probably easier to get a special exemption for the US Open than a special invite to the Masters.
SteveMM says:
Typo alert: It should be "14-OVER par 86". If he shot 14 under, this would be a very different story! :)
srogers13 says:
When AGNC gives out a special invite (and it is rare,) you can almost be certain that it is going to a golfer from Asia. So if an old guy withdraws, or even a youngin like Dustin Johnson, there is not an alternate list to replace them. Most players will quit playing when they feel like it. This year, Ben Crenshaw has said it is probably his last year. Plus, the old guys do love the attention of being a past champion, once a year at least.
bducharm says:
If you have won The Masters, you should be able to come back as often as you want! Lifetime means lifetime!!!
SpaceMaNy0 says:
I agree lifetime means lifetime, but they need to be realistic vs. their personal view of competitive. I would play Augusta as much as I possibly could too, though. In fact I've thought I'd love to see Gary Player try the first 2 rounds again. Look at what Tom Watson did a few years back, and even Freddy this weekend. Jack could maybe still post a couple 71s to be on the leaderboard for the weekend. All that said, Sandy and the Walrus might shoot 80s, but I say let
'em play. I sure would.
srogers13 says:
Tom Watson is close to making the cut again.
legitimatebeef says:
Bducharm has it right. Lifetime means lifetime, if they have such a problem with it then change the friggin policy. Frankly I am sick of hearing about this place with its sacred aura, dusty old traditions and mysterious untouchable inner workings.
David B says:
Lifetime is just that - Lifetime! Guys who do not produce have their own reputations to consider. It's golf. Unlike the NBA or other major sports, there is honor and decorum in our sport. I would think that when an older player plays poorly - and that definition is entirely within him, that he would pass. Until that time, his level of play is a reflection of his athletic ability as well as his mental state and love of the game. By the way, I would love to shoot 80's at Masters or otherwise! Play on until you die - a motto for all golfers.
elhacker says:
@Beef - Amen brother!
Werepuppie says:
I agree that all winners should be allowed to play.It is part of what makes the Masters a great tournament.
Sometimes though it could be hard to swallow for their playing partners.I would bet that some of these guys could not even reach the fairway from the tee now.Just imagine some of the guys like Arnie who are close to 80.It would take 3 shots to reach their partners drive.That is a big distraction for the guy having to wait on them.
legitimatebeef says:
Then put all the stubborn old-timers in the last groups on Thursday and Friday, let em swat it around the course for as long as they want and then let the cutline dispose of them. Problem solved. Make another tradition out of it.
TeT says:
Lifetime is good.... Augusta doesnt put on the master for you, they do it for themselves and the golfers... and mostly themselves its just bonus for the rest of us
tennesseeboy says:
Let them play. It might make since to have a rule that if you reach a certain # over par that you must drop out of the round.
joe jones says:
As an old fart with a lot of artificial body parts it must be painful to walk the hills and valleys of Augusta. If the veterans feel they must try regardless of score, God bless them. I have said that Augusta is the one course I would give anything to play but I know it's not physically possible for me. I can dream tho!
oobscott2 says:
call me a bad person if you want, but if I had the chance to play the tournament every year I would. Screw what everyone else thinks
madmx99 says:
I say let them play. I like having them play together in groups, though.
falcon50driver says:
Why is it some people are all GA GA about The Masters and Augusta but then have to slam everything about it. The Traditions, the aura , the older players the members, the rules. What exactly do you like? Azaleas?
BDA says:
Lifetime is Lifetime, but I do think that the past winner should look at his own game and know weather or not if you going to be competitive of just go out and play 2 rounds and go home. If he really thinks he is competitive then go for it if not, use your integrity and decline, as for guys like Palmer and Gary and Jack, well them starting off the Masters is a tradition in itself.
nomullies says:
A bit off topic but what happened to Faldo? He dropped of the golfing map in a hurry. I suppose he makes a good buck commentating but by all accounts he's in great shape and should be able to play at least on the seniors tour and possibly the Masters.
Scott Shields says:
Or think outside the box a little. Maybe have all the older folks, or the ones less likely to compete have a Master's Legends match play, or four ball, or something on Wednesday rather, while all the kido's play in the par 3 or something, maybe give them an option -- or have a one day ryder cup format, and have team Arnold versus team Jack? Give them all a shot at re-living past glory, while not getting in the way of the actual competition? *shrug*
DoubleDingo says:
Let them play. They will be cut on Friday anyhow if they don't play well enough. Tiger played like crap, and they didn't show his shots very often. TV is like that, play crappy and don't get much if any airtime. If the old guys make the cut, they will only get minimal recognition. And those young bucks that want to play in the tournament; well they better meet the criteria to make it in the tournament, or buy tickets to watch it live or sit on the couch and watch it.
DoubleDingo says:
I know if I had a lifetime invitation to the event, I would definitely go every year and enjoy it even if I was cut on Friday.
BAKE_DAWG40 says:
I agree. Lifetime is what it means. I'm not completely sure what the Open Championship guidelines are but, imagine if the R&A told Tom Watson a few years back he was too old to play. How would that tournament have ended? He almost won that championship at 60+ y/o! I was on the edge of my seat the whole day of that particular Sunday before he lost to Cink. I can tell you this, if I could play well enough and won that tournamnet, I would be there EVERY year regardless of what I shot. Until I knew when it was time to hang it up i.e. Nicklaus, Palmer, & player etc.

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Kiwi & Yogurt Moisturizing Cleanser
Today's review is on something that fell short of my expectations. I try hard not to have any expectations when trying a new product but I've tried so, so many already from the Freeman brand that I expected it to perform well at the very least. Here's my take on the Freeman Feeling Beautiful Kiwi & Yogurt Moisturizing Cleanser.
What I love about this product? It comes in the typical tube packaging with flip top cap so I can squeeze out how much I want to use very easily. The texture of this is a little more viscous than I'd prefer it to be. It is opaque in appearance with the palest mint green tint in color. It kinda does look like yogurt when I see it in the palm of my hand. The scent is fruity but I can't really tell if it's of kiwi or not. I like the fruit and eat it but when I smelled this product my brain didn't go "Hey! This totally smells like kiwi!". It is very gentle on the skin and not drying at all as there is no scrubby bits to it and it produces no lather. I find it a little weird as I'm not used to cleansers that don't scrub or lather but it does clean the skin without being drying at all.
What I don't like about this product? There is zero lather and it doesn't strip off as much as I'd like it to, which is a personal preference. Because of this, I feel like my face is not clean enough. It's the feel or sensation that I get when after using this.

Elizabeth Grant Green Power C Hydrating Cleanser
Hey guys! I'm finally off from this point onwards until next year! I couldn't carry over a ton of my vacation days so I'm using them up now. I've been busy at work just wrapping up stuff as I won't be there for 3 entire weeks and I spent this past Sunday baking at least over 400 cookies to bring to work (I do this every other year or so). I also made 3 Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf Breads (they're actually cakes but without the icing, it's more like a sweet and tasty bread!) but those were for specific individuals. I ran out of flour at the end of the night! I made 8 batches of cookies in total, I think. There were regular old chocolate chip, white and milk chocolate chip, reeses pieces and mostly white chocolate chip, snickerdoodles and peanut butter cookies. They were all gone by early this morning! But while I've been away from the beauty blogging world, I haven't stopped testing stuff every single day. And so, here's my take on something I got from the ipsy October 2016 Glam Bag — Elizabeth Grant Green Power C Hydrating Cleanser.
What I love about this product? While I can't quite nail down what the scent reminds me of….I love it. It's light and fresh. It makes me think of green, crisp apples or clear glycerin soap that I come into contact with in Melt & Pour soapmaking. It doesn't smell like crisp apples though. It's just that the freshness of the light scent made me think of that. It is ever-so-slightly tinted with green in color. It's a clear, viscous gel formula-wise. It lathers easily and removes oil and grime nicely without being harsh or drying. And trust me when I emphasize on the fact that I don't find it drying as it's really cold and dry right now. None of my regular hand lotions works on my frequently washed hands. It started cracking! I had to fix that with the ever-so-reliable Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream stat! It's my go-to hand lotion when all fails. It doesn't take a lot of the cleanser to get the job done right and it's definitely something I'm considering adding to my daily skincare regimen.
What I don't like about this product? It's a little pricey at $25 for 200 ml / 6.7 fl oz but it's definitely better than a lot of regular facial cleansers out there. Plus, I do feel that there is a luxurious feel to this product.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
Happy Tuesday! What did you guys do for Halloween? Did you dress up? I did decorate and hoped we get lots of kids this year but it was not meant to be! Some speculated that a lot of the Halloween festivities happened already over the weekend and that it's a Monday night so we got a small turnout. I was a little bit disappointed cause WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THIS CANDY?! I have a TON of candy leftover and I can't return any of them as I opened all of them to give the kids a variety. Haha! I'll be using some of them during baking but that's pretty much it I think. Anyway, today's post is on something I've been trying for a while now. Here's my take on the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil.
What I love about this product? I love that it doesn't smell strongly of olive oil. The scent is there but it is not overpowering at all. I love that it washes off really nicely — definitely something I was worried about being that I hate the feel of oil on my skin in general. I was afraid that removal would be hard as it leaves this oily residue or film but NOPE! None of that. It washes off nicely, leaving my face clean and not dry at all. I find it also good to use as a makeup remover. Any makeup that removes easily with an oil-based makeup remover just comes off with minimal effort. It's not the best as a makeup remover, but I don't have to use a different one to remove my makeup and then wash my face with. It's basically a 2-in-one product. With that said, I tried really hard to love this and I'm just not feeling it even after at least 2 months of daily use. The next section explains why.
What I don't like about this product? I hate the feel of oil on my skin, especially my face, and this gives me that feeling. Even if it stays on my face only for a little while during my facial cleansing routing….I still hated it. In fact, I hated every minute that it's on my face. So it doesn't make my experience enjoyable and I find myself rushing through it just to get it over with. It's not the facial cleansing experience I would like to have. Before this, my facial cleansing routine has always been a refreshing and relaxing experience. Now before you think I didn't try….I did. I tried to overlook that aspect of it. In fact, I've been using it everyday for more than 2 months in hopes that I will get used to the feeling but no…..still no love from me — sorry! I was also concerned about this product causing breakouts with daily use but I'm chalking the minimal skin issues I have to other stuff instead of this. I will need to use this for a much longer time to really come to that kind of conclusion for me. I'm still using it but I won't be repurchasing it after I run out.

ipsy October 2016 Glam Bag
I got this in a few days ago. I'm keeping almost everything I got in this bag. A lot of times I would keep only one or 2 items and have the others as stocking stuffers or extras in a gift, but this time I'm keeping and using 4 of them! Here's what I got with my ipsy October 2016 Glam Bag.
The bag is quite cute and the material strikes me as being waterproof or water-repellent at least. First up is the Elizabeth Grant Green Power C Hydrating Cleanser. The green colored tube stuck out like a sore thumb to me in the group. I'm dying to try out a new cleanser as I've been using the same one for about 2 months now and I don't think I really like it. Next item that caught my eye is the MeMeMe Blush Brush. It has a nice handle and is fluffy but this is the one item I definitely won't be using so off to the gifting pile it goes. Then we have the noyah Lipstick. The shade I got is in Smoke. I would've preferred the other shade available, Currant News, as that one is more "red" than Smoke (which is more "nude"). But I'm still keeping it as my hubby generally likes these kind of shades on me. Next we have Ciate Fierce Flicks Eyeliner. I'm keeping this as I don't have that many eye liners with the felt tip. Last up is theBalm Cabana BoyBlush. I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E this shade! Definitely my favorite item from this month's bag!
I can't wait now for next month's bag!
Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser
Hey guys! Wedding festivities have now died down as my sweet friend that's like a sister to me is now officially hitched. It was a full weekend for me starting with doing all the girls' nails and getting mehndi (henna) on my hands up to close to my elbow. The wedding was long but beautiful and full of meaning. Anyway, today's post is on something I've been using regularly recently from the recent Walmart Spring 2016 Beauty Box. Here's my take on the Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser.
What I love about this product? It comes in a standard tube container that most facial cleansers come in. The scent is pretty good although I'm not quite sure how to describe it. Clean? Light? I'll go with those. The formula is a little bit more viscous than what I expected. So make note of that when squeezing some of the product out to use. It has some larger grainy bits in there but I don't find it abrasive at all. It actually cleans out my pores very well without drying. I find it such a delight to use! It leaves my skin so soft and smooth. It doesn't bubble up much but I don't care about that. I just apply a small amount in the palm of my hand and apply it onto my face with massaging motions. I've been using this in my everyday morning shower for about 2 weeks now and love it.
What I don't like about this product? Nothing at all! I think this is one of my top 3 facial cleansers. I'm definitely buying this one after I use it all up!

Back-to-Back Bulldogs Celebrated in Martinsburg
"I just think everyone coming out in the community, just showing us how proud they are of us, I just believe that it shows just the true heart of this town and of the city of Martinsburg," said senior wide-out and defensive back Cedric Brown.
And for a former Bulldog player that has gone on to bigger things, he says a team like the Bulldogs can bring the community closer together.
"I think it brings pride to the entire community, as demonstrated today," said Sen. John Unger, who also played football at Martinsburg back in the day. "I mean the community came out in support of these players, these coaches, the administrators. This school is a quality school. And it starts right at academics and goes all the way to the athletics."
Senator Unger says he plans to take the Bulldogs down to Charleston to be recognized for their accomplishments, which would just add to the memories these players have.
"A great legacy here that I think will stay here for the rest of our lives," said Brown. "Just memories that will be here with us. With the teammates, coaches, and just the fans here. And I'm just glad that everything happened how it did. I think it was just true destiny."
And for the Bulldogs that will carry on that legacy next season: it's 28 wins and counting.

Adriene Hill: New home sales fell again in August -- reaching a 6 month low. According to figures just out this morning, sales dropped off 2.3 percent. In actual number of houses, that points to an annual rate of 295,000 homes, which sounds like a lot, but is actually less than half of the number of new homes that economists think need to sell in order to create a healthy housing market.
To put all these numbers in perspective for us, we reached out to Patrick Newport. He's a housing economist with IHS Global Insight. Good morning.
Patrick Newport: Good morning.
Hill: So what are you seeing in these numbers today?
Newport: Well, these are pretty bad numbers -- these are the 7th worst numbers that we've ever had. And 2011 is shaping up to the be the worst year on record for new home sales.
Hill: And what's it tell us about the economy?
Newport: It doesn't tell us much about the economy. It tells us that the housing market -- or at least the market for new homes -- is just stuck at the bottom, and there's no signs that it's going to get out of it very soon.
Hill: Why are they stuck?
Newport: Well I think there are two reasons. One of them is the foreclosure problem, and I think the second reason is related to builders having trouble getting credit -- it's a combination of the two.
Hill: Now, the Obama administration is working on a plan that might allow more borrowers to refinance at low rates. What impact could that have on the housing market?
Newport: I think it might have a positive impact, but there has a study by an economist at MIT and from the Congressional Budget Office, and their conclusion is that it would be a good thing for the economy, but it wouldn't solve the housing market's problems.
Hill: Why is that?
Newport: For the most part, it just puts money in the pocket of some people, but not that much. And on top of that, taxpayers will take a hit on this. So, when you add the winners and the losers together on that, it's a positive but not a game-changer.
Hill: Patrick Newport is a housing economist with IHS Global Insight. Thanks so much.
Newport: Thanks for having me.

Monday Start-Up: Take a Step Back
"Data" has become the default word used to describe the constantly generated, centrally stored evidence of our existence. I wasn't surprised to learn that the word "data" comes from the Latin for "to give," and refers to something that is given or relinquished. It also feels significant that data rests at the very bottom of the so-called knowledge hierarchy — below information, knowledge and wisdom.
For everything that's gained by our ability to store and maintain more information than ever before, something is lost that has to do with texture, context and association.
I read this article in the New York Times on Sunday by Carina Chocano, and it completely struck me. The writing not only was impeccable, but the message really came through. In an age of technology and finding a quick answer on your phone versus digging into the recesses of your memory, it may be a good time to take a step back.
My good friend – also a writer – decided to ditch the iCal and write all of her appointments in a book planner. We went to a cafe the other day and we both were writing – me with my computer and her with her pen and paper. I adore technology. However there are many times that I am so happy that I take a walk without music, or I actually do write that hand-written Thank You card. Think about it from a business perspective.
If you are at a networking event on your phone in the corner, maybe you are missing out on meeting that great contact or partner because another person is there shaking his or her hand. And instead of asking, "What's your number?" and plugging it into your phone. Maybe you should ask for his or her business card instead, and write a note on it to remember details about your actual conversation so you can bring it up when you reach back out.
Yes it's good to stay up to speed with technology. However, there is nothing wrong with appreciating the inspiration of that technology. In fact, I've noticed personally that my handwriting has gotten even worse than normal (and trust me, it's pretty bad). I received a brand new blank book from my mother for Christmas last year, and this may be the perfect year to take it out of its saran wrap and put my pen to good use!
As Chocano concludes in her article,
Maybe our desire to digitize and archive every little thing is not proof of a fear of forgetting. It's a manifestation of our urge to remember how to remember.
So readers, I challenge you. Let's remember to write with a pen, to take a step back, and to appreciate the memories that we experience before archiving in our digital devices.
