Wipers Buying Guide
Did you know 90% of driving decisions are made with your vision? Reduced visibility can cause slower reaction times, so clear vision is crucial to safe driving. Efficient wiper blades are as important to a vehicle's safe operation as clean oil and good tires. For this reason, you should examine your wiper blades regularly and replace them every six months to a year or as soon as you notice a difference in driving visibility.
This guide explains how to tell when to replace your wiper blades. It clarifies the different wiper blade designs and their benefits, and offers a convenient comparison chart. Plus, the included tips on maintaining your wiper blades will help you keep your windshield wipers in optimal condition for as long as possible.
When to Replace your Wiper Blades
The squeegee on your windscreen wiper blades will deteriorate over time from use and environmental factors. Sand, mud, dust, acid rain and even the sun's ultraviolet light will degrade your blade. Salt from seaside locations or winter driving can weaken frames. Car waxes and exhaust also contain rubber-deteriorating oil. Check your wiper blades regularly for signs of wear. Even when deterioration isn't clearly visible, wipers can develop common problems such as streaking, skipping, chattering, wearing and splitting. Tree sap, road tar and other foreign substances can collect on either the glass or the blade causing streaking. Lack of use can cause the blade to curve resulting in skipping.
Examine the wiper blades for:
- Frame damage such as detachment of the frame arms at joints or connection points
- Metal corrosion, especially at joints and claws
- Visible cracks, tears and missing pieces in the rubber squeegee's edge
- Flexibility by flexing the rubber squeegee back and forth and ensuring it conforms to the shape of your windshield.
- Rounded edges that can prevent the wiper blade from making complete contact with the windshield
- Secure installation of the wiper blade on the wiper arm, and attachment of squeegee in wiper frame
Wiper Blade Designs
When replacing your wiper, you can select from a wide range of wiper blade size & designs. Be sure to replace your wipers with the correct length of blade. (If you're unsure, your Canadian Tire store has a handy blade length guide searchable by make, model and year of vehicle.)
Conventional wiper blades consist of a metal superstructure that is riveted together and holds a rubber squeegee between two metal rails. This design conforms to most of the windshield as it wipes, but can be prone to wind lift and ice build-up in the frame, affecting winter visibility.
Winter wiper blades encase the metal superstructure of a conventional wiper blade with a rubberized boot to prevent the build-up of ice and snow. While these wipers are prone to less snow and ice build-up, they do not conform to the windshield as well as conventional or flex wipers. Also, they aren't suitable for summer use as the rubber boots tend to dry out and break open with prolonged heat exposure.
Flex or Beam wiper blades are usually comprised of a single piece of metal with a rubber squeegee either glued onto or slid into the frame. The aerodynamic design of these wipers reduces wind lift and resists the build-up of ice and snow. The blade conforms very well to the contours of different windshields, providing the best possible contact to the windshield and reducing the potential for streaking.
While not a wiper design itself, water repellant coatings are becoming more popular. Typically incorporated with flex wipers, these coatings are applied by the wiper blade onto the windshield to help water, ice and snow bead away for a clearer view. Silicone wiper blades also act as water repellent and are more durable than rubber. Refer to the chart below for a comparison of the styles and technologies available at Canadian Tire.
Hybrid Wiper Blades are comprised of a hard-shell exterior combined with a state of the art beam blade inner construction. This combination allows pressure to distribute evenly, right down to the ends of the wiper blade, eliminating the number one complaint with the beam wiper blades lifting at the ends. In addition, the hard shell super structure creates a dual air spoiler effect that virtually eliminates wind lift, providing consistent wiping at highway speeds. Lastly, the flexible shell provides total protection from the winter elements.

Maintaining your Wiper Blades
Avoid common problems and extend the life of your wiper blades by following the
simple steps:
- Clean your windshield every time you fill your gas tank.
- Gently wipe the rubber squeegee with a damp paper towel to remove any loose dirt
or oil. - Never use your windshield wipers to de-ice your windshield; instead, either use an ice scraper or use your defroster to melt snow and ice.
- Pull your wiper blades away from the windshield during winter months to prevent ice build up on the rubber squeegee and to prevent them from sticking to the windshield.

Straightening Teeth: Braces, Inman Aligner, Veneers or Recontouring?
Crooked teeth commonly cause of lack of self-confidence, people often cover their mouth just to smile. Crooked teeth and irregular teeth often cause people to cover their mouth and hide their smile. There are many different methods to straighten teeth and the one most appropriate to you will depend on your teeth, your wishes about how inconspicuous you would like your treatment to be, and how quickly you want to get results. To find out your options call us now to book with one of our dentists.
Composite Build-Ups and Tooth Recontouring
As well as straightening crooked teeth, we also offer a combination treatment of contouring and composite build-ups to enhance the shape of your smile and give you the self-confidence that you deserve. We can even offer a pink gum-coloured composite material to adjust or straighten your gum line and enhance your beautiful natural smile.
Ask our cosmetic dentists to demonstrate how tooth contouring and composite build-ups could benefit you.
Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is a revolutionary appliance that can straighten your front teeth in just a few weeks.
Veneers and Crowns
As an alternative to braces some smiles can be improved cosmetically in just a few weeks using veneers and crowns, for more details see the section on veneers and crowns or even better ask your dentist to summarise your options.
Orthodontic Treatment
At Ock Street Clinic in Abingdon we offer a full range of orthodontic treatments with Dr. Juliette Armand, our resident dentist with Practice Limited to Orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment is most commonly carried out on children and adolescents, but is becoming increasingly popular with adults. Care for children is considered essential for growth and development, and also prevention of tooth decay and gum disease. With adults, orthodontic treatment is more often used as a remedy for an existing problem.
Interceptive orthodontic treatments are often prescribed for children, in order to lessen existing problems while ensuring future treatments are quicker and more effective. In tackling a 'bite' or 'crowding' issue early it can eliminate the likelihood of extensive problems occurring later. Examples of interceptive treatments are functional appliances and the removal of a tooth to prevent crowding.
If you are based in Oxford, Thames Valley, Abingdon or surrounding areas, why not give us a call to arrange an appointment.
Orthodontics Can Treat These Conditions:
Here are some common problems that can be fixed with specialist orthodontic treatment from Ock Street...
- Crowding (too many teeth)
- Irregular spacing
- Diastema (gaps between teeth)
- Tooth misalignment
- Worn teeth (bruxism)
- Cross bites
- Protruding teeth
- Underdeveloped jaws
Crowding is the most common orthodontic problem. It is usually caused by teeth being too large for the area of jaw, and needs to be rectified as early as possible to avoid structural damage to the jaw and mouth, and to avert the risk of longer-term issues. Braces are the tool to fix these problems.
Worn away teeth are often caused by the individual chewing in their sleep. Bruxism, as it is often known, results in the teeth becoming shorter and less functional, as well as leading to other symptoms such as a painful jaw. Orthodontic treatment can be used to realign teeth that have been 'moved' through grinding, and further repair work such as dental implants and crowns can also be undertaken.
Protrusive teeth, overbites and cross bites can all be corrected with orthodontic treatment. This straightening of the teeth is usually achieved using a fixed appliance (a 'brace' or 'train tracks'). With private treatments ceramic, 'tooth coloured' braces are available alongside the traditional metal tracks. They work by gradually and carefully moving the teeth into their new position, using brackets that are attached to the teeth and held in place with wire and elastic. As the wires adjust so does the pressure applied to the teeth, resulting in the necessary movements.

On Pink Out Night, the Fairfield Central Griffins proved pink belongs to Griffins and not to Panthers. The fired up FCHS squad locked up a Region title with a convincing 56-0 victory.
The Griffins used pure team speed to defeat Pelion, scoring early and often in this one, with defensive back Compton Walker opening up the scoring with a 66-yard punt return for a touchdown. That punt return gave the Griffins a 6-0 lead with 9:46 left in the first quarter. Compton Walker's PAT was no good. Running back Damien Bell burst through the line for a ten-yard touchdown run with 6:21 left in the opening quarter. The PAT run by quarterback DeAndre "Trey" Belton was no good.
DeAndre McDaniel 7 recovered a Pelion fumble at the Fairfield 41-yard line. The ensuing drive was capped by a Larry Bell 14-yard touchdown run. The PAT was no good, but the Griffins led 18-0.
Pelion defenders had no answer for the Griffins zone running schemes, but FCHS did air it out a few times, notably on a 77-yard catch and run from Belton to wide receiver Keith Workman with 7:33 left in the second quarter. Walker's extra point was good, giving FCHS a 25-0 lead.
Later in the quarter senior fullback Antonio Lewis tacked on a touchdown with a six yard run. Walker's PAT was good, putting the Griffins up 32-0. Fairfield Central led 39-0 at the half thanks to a Damien Bell 5-yard run.
In the second half Coach Demetrius Davis called a trick play which worked to perfection. It was a throwback pass where Damien Bell took a pitch and threw the ball back across the formation to his quarterback, Belton. Belton showed agility and shiftiness on a 29-yard scamper for a touchdown following the Bell pass. That stretched the Griffins lead to 38-0.
With 1:30 left in the third quarter, a Pelion drive stalled and the Panthers were stopped on fourth down at their own 24-yard line. Two plays later sophomore running back Joe Young got into the scoring column with a 20-yard touchdown run. Walker's PAT was good and FCHS led 56-0. Pelion established a solid drive with hard nosed running by 6, but the Griffin defense stiffened and preserved the shutout.
Damien Bell led the Griffins with 114 yards rushing. Other leading rushers were Byron Sampson with 34 yard and Larry G. Bell with 25 yards
The team's leading receiver was Workman with one catch for 77 yards and a touchdown. Belton threw for a touchdown and scored a receiving touchdown on a night that was all Griffins.
On defense, Raheim McDaniel had half a sack and recovered a fumble. He also had one reception for 34 yards.
Chanti Jones combined with McDaniel on a sack.
Team leaders for Pelion were Isaiah Jenkins with 81 yards rushing and James McFadden who rushed for 15 yards on four carries. Other than on one first half drive where short , rhythm passes were clicking and on the final drive when they mounted a scoring threat, Pelion could do little on offense in this one and the Panther defense was over matched as well.
The win gives the Griffins the region championship and they lock up a first round bye in the playoffs as well as home field advantage since Fairfield Central's region is the region host this year.

Is there an Engineering Talent Crises in the US?
Is there an Engineering Talent Crises in the US?
In an article published last Semptember on the Huffington Post there was a claim that the United States is facing a serious STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) talent crises. The author pointed to a study by the US Department of Labor claiming that the STEM workforce accounts for 50% of economic growth while only 5% of the working population are employed in STEM fields. The article further pointed out that the STEM workforce is increasingly moving toward retirement with an insufficient pipeline of graduates to take up positions needed to drive an innovation-oriented economy. The Manpower group publishes an annual survey looking at the most difficult positions to fill and Engineering comes to near the top (number 2) in their 2012 survey.
Listening to colleagues who have children entering college, I hear frequently that engineering enrollment is surprisingly low. I guess we can all point to a variety of factors as to why this phenomena exists. Are we not emphasizing science and math in our schools? Or, are we not inspired like earlier generations? (think of JFK's investments in NASA and the drive to have a lunar landing within a decade). Have interfaces become too easy (think Apple and Google) that we take technology for granted and therefore aren't driven to "tinker"? Do we have too many degree choices? I would guess the answer is a combination of reasons. But certainly, if there is an engineering talent crises in terms of pipeline, then this poses serious implications for the electronics industry.
We tend to talk about the implications of increasing design complexity and business pressures (like time-to-market) as a major factor in informing our organizational initiatives related to PCB development (and product development in general). But what about this additional vector, where we might actually be coping with a workforce that is more burdened due to a shrinking workforce? Add the fact that we are also seeing a decline in the PCB designer population (see an article published in PCD&F last April) and we might have a "perfect storm" brewing.
If, in fact, we are seeing a possible demographic shift in our industry, then that will have implications on design strategies, how organizations drive innovation, and how business targets will be met. Obviously every challenge presents opportunities and some of the solutions will come from political and business leaders but also solutions will have to come from technology solution providers, like Mentor Graphics.

For what seemed like forever, the Sens consistently found themselves falling behind in hockey games. That is a trend they have been able to reverse as of late, as for the third straight game, the Sens scored the first goal. Erik Karlsson's 10th of the season beat Garon high and have Ottawa a lead just over a minute in.
From that point, and until a second period power play goal by Jason Spezza, Craig Anderson shut the door and was solid in the Ottawa net. He made a number of big stops, including the unconventional double pad stack in the opening frame.
Anderson was a big reason the Sens went into the final period with the lead.
In the third period, the Sens did a good job of tightening up defensively and keeping the chances to a minimum. Moments after a missed penalty shot by Kyle Turris, Jason Spezza scored a beauty to give the Sens a 3-0 lead they would not relinquish. While most of his body of work came in the first period, Craig Anderson played a huge part in tonight's victory, picking up his second shutout of the season.
With a dominant four point night, Jason Spezza now has 60 points on the season, which pulls him even with Phil Kessel for 4th in league scoring. Erik Karlsson racked up a couple points and increased his total to 52 points. When these two guys are firing on all cylinders, the Sens are an extremely tough team to play against.
Quick turnaround for the Sens who play a huge game in Florida tomorrow night. NHL Centre Ice has added the game to their coverage using a combination of the in-house scoreboard feed and the Panthers radio broadcast. Yikes.
- After spending some time in the press box, Bobby Butler has jumped back into the line up and is contributing offensively. Two more assists for him tonight and he now has five since being reinserted into the line up. When his feet are moving and his head is up, Butler can be a dangerous player on that top line.
- Hard not to like the game of Jim Flo'Brien since being called up from Binghamton. MacLean has been giving him increased responsibility each game and he has responded well. O'Brien went 7 for 9 in the face off circle and took a couple shifts on the PK.
- During the second intermission, the Sportsnet Panel discussed the approach the Ottawa Senators could take leading up to the NHL trade deadline. The names suggested include Dustin Penner, Mike Knuble and Ales Hemsky. Penner is considered a cheap option and while he is a player Murray has looked at in the past, I really can't see it. Knuble's availability would depend on where the Caps sit at deadline time and Ales Hemsky will come with a little higher price tag.

Charade [DVD]
Director : Stanley Donen
Screenplay : Peter Stone (story by Peter Stone & Marc Behm)
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1963
Stars : Cary Grant (Peter Joshua), Audrey Hepburn (Regina Lampert), Walter Matthau (Bartholamew), James Coburn (Tex Panthollow), George Kennedy (Herman Scobie), Dominique Minot (Sylvie Gaudel), Ned Glass (Leopold W. Gideon), Jacques Marin (Insp. Edouard Grandpierre), Paul Bonifas (Mr. Felix), Thomas Chelimsky (Jean-Louis Gaude)
Stanley Donen's Charade may very well be the best (and funniest) Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never made. I say that with the full knowledge that Donen was never pleased that his thriller-comedy was constantly compared to Hitch, but surely he saw it coming, especially given the involvement of Cary Grant.
In fact, Grant's performance in Charade, which was one of the last three of his career, can be seen as a fitting capstone to the creation of the peerless Cary Grant persona that was refined to perfection in three Hitchcock films: Notorious (1946), To Catch a Thief (1955), and, most importantly, North by Northwest (1959). It was in these films that Cary Grant fully became "Cary Grant," and even though his character's name was different in each one, he was essentially playing slightly variegated riffs on the same star persona.
Narratively, though, Charade plays like a gender-reversed North by Northwest. It takes Grant's character in that film, a self-absorbed businessman who inadvertently gets mixed up in a game of espionage, and replaces him with Audrey Hepburn's Regina Lampert, a disillusioned young wife whose life is put in danger when her never-there husband is murdered and a trio of goons begins stalking her because they think she has $250,000 he stole from them. Thus, Regina is torn out of her inward life (when we first meet her, she is cooling her heels in a ritzy French ski resort) put in constant danger as she is made to deal with forces far outside of her lived experiences.
Of course, there's never so much danger in a thriller like this that there can't also be time for romance, and that's where Grant steps in. Grant plays Peter Joshua, a cool, slightly mysterious stranger who happens into Regina's life just as the trouble starts. It seems like a bit of contrived serendipity, but screenwriter Peter Stone has so many twists and turns up his sleeve that, by the end of the movie, your assessment of Peter will have changed not once, not twice, not even three times, but four. He's a mystery box full of surprises, his identity just a series of layers to be peeled away until Regina finally gets to the core. (The fact that there is a core to get to is evidence of the movie's basic, old-fashioned romanticism.)
Because Peter is played by Cary Grant—dapper and refined as always—you don't feel cheated or abused when you find out that his current identity is just another ruse. Even when there is significant doubt as to his motives, he remains a striking and attractive figure. If anything, the enigma of his true intentions makes him that much more compelling, even if it never truly stains him.
At one point, Regina says to Peter, "You know what's wrong with you? … Nothing," which is perhaps the most fitting description ever penned of Grant's screen charm. The line is that much better because it's Audrey Hepburn, barely masking a heated sexuality with her lithe-innocent exterior, who says it. It literally makes you glad for the days when characters didn't just hop right into bed with each other, but rather kept the intensity of their attraction always at the near-boiling point (Grant wisely insisted that several joking lines be inserted referencing his and Hepburn's obvious age difference). In this case, the sexual suspense mixes and mingles with the thriller suspense, keeping you constantly intrigued even while you're laughing at the inherent silliness of it all.
Director Stanley Donen began his career as a choreographer in MGM's famous Arthur Freed Unit and earned his reputation directing a string of hit musicals that virtually defined the Technicolor Hollywood musical of the 1950s, including On the Town (1949), Singin' in the Rain (1952), and Funny Face (1957). The light touch and fantastic sense of humor that worked so beautifully in those films also serves him well in Charade, which was released just as the James Bond series was taking off. Donen pulls off an exquisite balancing act between the suspenseful and the funny; he keeps us smiling throughout, but he never descends to the level of spoofing his material. Rather, he plays the mystery elements of the story for all they're worth, constantly reminding us that Regina is in danger, but never making it seem so grim that we would question why, under all this duress, she can't seem to think of anything but getting Peter to come back to her room.

If any DVD distributor has a near perfect track record, it's Criterion, but one of their biggest fumbles was an inexplicable refusal in the early days to make their widescreen transfer anamorphic. The long out-of-print Charade DVD was one of those releases, but now it has been re-released with a new, anamorphic widescreen transfer made from a 35mm interpositive, which was the same source material for the original transfer. Comparing the two, it is clear that the anamorphic transfer offers a sharper image and better resolution. Interestingly enough, though the two transfers have notably different color tones, with the out-of-print original looking slightly brighter and a little pinkish and the newer one slightly darker with just a touch of a green tinge to the hues. It's hard to know which transfer more closely aligns with the intended look of the film, but I like the latter of the two better. | ||
The same Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack is included. It sounds perfectly good for its era, particularly Henry Mancini's appropriately bouncy score. | ||
The supplements included on this new disc are exactly the same as the ones on the out-of-print release (although the animated menus have been redesigned). The screen-specific audio commentary by director Stanley Donen and screenwriter Peter Stone is a thoroughly enjoyable listen. They have a playful banter that makes the commentary consistently entertaining as they reminisce about the film's production. "The Films of Stanley Donen" is a selected filmography with a good introductory biographical note penned by Donen biographer Stephen M. Silverman (the filmography casually omits such duds as 1980's Saturn 3). There is also a complete filmography for Peter Stone and an original theatrical trailer presented in 1.33:1. |

Phentermine no RX
Phentermine is a buzz word often touted by weight loss specialists. This powerful drug acts on the central nervous system to suppress the craving for food. It acts in a manner similar to an amphetamine. The technical methodology beyond how this suppression is created is quite complex. However, in the most basic of terms this drug increases the body's built-in focus on the fight or flight response. When the body is in either fight or flight mode it does not focus on consuming nutrition. Most of its available resources are centered on either engaging in survival in combat or escaping as quickly as possible from a situation. Unfortunately for those individuals who would seek Phentermine as a weight loss aid medical grade Phentermine is highly regulated and available only by prescription in many countries. However there are still ways to acquire Phentermine without prescription. These methods include purchasing it over the Internet from sites based in countries with less restrictive laws and purchasing herbal variants. The first method will garner the purest form of this wonder drug but without the strict rule of law found in prescription countries the medication itself cannot always be trusted.

People do not understand that the reason Martin is having so much success in Tampa is because of Blount. He basically gave away his spot because of his poor attitude and work ethic. It was a mistake that he made it on our practice squad, but a blessing in disguise. Guy has been absolute garbage and will probably continue to be.
Then the trade idea is even more luny since no team is going to want CJ and his contract + giving up a pick when he is going to be cut. Sorry, I assume the trade talk was before the trading deadline. If we wait until the end of the season we won't be able to get anything for him. Obviously there is no reason to cut him mid season although that would be great for CJ. He can actually finish the year out on a team that is going to the playoffs. While I agree right now it might be hard to "justify" paying CJ 12 mil next year even with a big finish but Titan fans should think realistically what the front office will do if CJ is cut. Obvious the thought is now we can go out and get a couple of 6 mil FAs or three 4 mil guys or whatever. Oh really? Do we really think that is going to happen? Nice to know you guys are in favor of Bud keeping his money because that is what will happen. We also have a dilema at RB that has to be solved. There is nobody on the roster so we would have to use a draft pick and potentially a high one. So my reasoning is if we don't have a specific need for that money use the draft pick on other positions and keep CJ. Assuming CJ finishes strong he is still a benefit to Locker if they can get on the field together both playing at a high level.
So you think that you could plug in any decent running back into that "System" and they would have similar results? You think CJ would thrive on the bucs?
Somewhat, I have not really kept up with them this year, but I do know that their line was a problem last year. With that said, I doubt their line was any worse than ours.
What are you talking about? We could just pick-up any one of the Steelers 5 RB's, 3 of them will be free agents and they're all better suited to play behind our current O-Line than C.J. is. RB is easy to fill.

French Artist Ox's Billboard Art Is Clever And Smart
French Street artist OX makes great use of the billboards he takes over and turns into works of art. What separates him from your average street artist is that he's able to see what isn't there and therefore what is possible. First he finds a suitable billboard, looks at the surrounding area and uses that to inform the basis of the billboard work.
If street art is about making people look at the city in a new and different way then OX has to be one of the best around.

Title | OMERO: flexible, model-driven data management for experimental biology |
Publication Type | Journal Article |
Year of Publication | 2012 |
Authors | Allan, C, Burel, J-M, Moore, J, Blackburn, C, Linkert, M, Loynton, S, MacDonald, D, et al., |
Journal Title | NATURE METHODS |
Volume | 9 |
Issue | 3 |
Pages | 245-253 |
ISBN Number | 1548-7091 |
Abstract | Data-intensive research depends on tools that manage multidimensional, heterogeneous datasets. We built OME Remote Objects (OMERO), a software platform that enables access to and use of a wide range of biological data. OMERO uses a server-based middleware application to provide a unified interface for images, matrices and tables. OMERO's design and flexibility have enabled its use for light-microscopy, high-content-screening, electron-microscopy and even non-image-genotype data. OMERO is open-source software, available at http://openmicroscopy.org/. |

text: Cleary Gottlieb represented Grupo Bimbo, S.A.B. de C.V. (Grupo Bimbo) in its acquisition of Weston Foods, Inc., the U.S. bakery division of George Weston Limited, for U.S.$2.38 billion and its acquisition of related financial assets for U.S.$125 million. The transaction closed on January 21, 2009. Seven banks financed the transaction through a U.S.$1.9 billion dual currency term facility with a three-year tranche, a five-year tranche and a U.S.$900 million dual currency one-year bridge facility that is expected to be taken out in the local bond market. A substantial portion of the commitments were funded in Mexican Pesos, requiring Grupo Bimbo to engage in foreign exchange transactions in between funding and payment to George Weston Limited on the day of closing. This is the largest cross-border acquisition financing in recent months in Latin America. Grupo Bimbo, which is among the world's largest baking companies in terms of production and sales volume, has more than 80 plants and 800 distribution centers located in 18 countries throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Grupo Bimbo produces over 5,000 products and its direct distribution networks comprise more than 36,500 routes and 96,000 employees. As a result of this transaction Bimbo Bakeries USA (BBU), Grupo Bimbo's consolidated U.S. operation, becomes one of the largest baked-goods companies in the country, with a leading position in bread, buns, sweet baked goods and cakes. BBU's brand portfolio now includes Arnold, Bimbo, Boboli, Brownberry, Entenmann's, Francisco, Freihoffer's, Marinella, Mrs Baird's, Oroweat, Stroehmann, Thomas' and Tia Rosa.

Location: Areawide Pest Management Research
Technical Abstract: Timely detection and remediation of volunteer cotton plants in both cultivated and non-cultivated habitats is critical for completing boll weevil eradication in Central and South Texas. However, timely detection of cotton plants over large areas and habitats is a challenging process. The spectral reflectance properties of cotton, corn, soybean, and sorghum during different growth stages were examined to determine whether the spectral properties of plants could be used to distinguish cotton from other crops. Two field blocks with two different soil types (Belk clay (BaA) and Ships clay (ShA)) were set up with cotton, corn, soybean and sorghum in each block and grown using conventional production practices for the area. Spectral information was collected from all crops at different growth stages from May to July. Reflectance spectra and the first derivative of the spectra were analyzed to characterize the spectral properties of crop varieties and compare the crops grown in different soil types. The results showed that the reflectance spectra of different crops could be differentiated at the early vegetative and late growth stages. At the vegetative stage, cotton could be distinguished from other crops; however, the reflectance spectra of soybean and sorghum were not significantly different between 410 and 560 nm. At the reproductive stage, cotton could be distinguished from soybean and sorghum between 510 and 590 nm and 650 and 900 nm. The red- edge position could also be used to distinguish cotton, corn, soybean and sorghum at the vegetative growth stage and cotton, soybean and sorghum at the reproductive growth stage. The red-edge points of cotton, soybean and sorghum shifted with the growth stages of development. No correlation was found between crop height and individual wavelength.

Such Pretty and Cute Colors
I only started buying Essie's polishes recently. I finally got into the nice new bright colors that this brand has. here is a review on the shades that I have so far:
Good To Go Top Coat: the only polish that i dont really like from essie. it is only a top coat, but i just didnt like how thin the brush was. i also wasnt a fan of the formula. it didnt make my nails as shiny as i hoped.
Pure Pearlfection: very very gorgeous sparkle. goes on top of any color very lightly and gives it a cute little sparkle. great for special occasions.
Aruba Blue: a very dark royal blue. reminds me of the royal blue prom dresses you usually see during the prom season. i love to use this color when i'm doing red, white, and blue nails.
Haute as Hello: love this color, especially for the toes. i just wish it was a little bit of a lighter orange. it does come out just a slight bit darker than it looks in the bottle.
Boom Boom Room: Absolutely love this light pink. i have it on my toes now and its just so pretty for the summer. i've also put it on my nails too and all by itself its really pretty too.
i am definitely going to continue purchasing essie's nail polishes, but only the colors since i wasn't a fan of the top coat. the price for them is not that bad either compared to other brands.
my favorite polish!
Essie nail polish is my favorite polish because of it's long wearability. It stays on my hands for longer than any other brand, and I need to reapply on my toenails not because of chips but because my toenails have grown and the polish is still there! I also love that you can get it at Walmart now.
I would recommend this nail varnish to anyone! My mum and dad brought me an Essie nail polish for my birthday and its one of my favorites. I can wear it for around 3-4 days with virtually no chips! The application is really smooth and the colour's are really strong and vibrant. Will definitely be buying more!
My Favourite
I have way too many of these. They dry perfect and they dry fast. I experience way less problems when I paint my nails with these polishes. They don't chip badly at all. They have no bubbles. There are lots of cool colours (although most of them are creme finish). The only problem I have experienced is that they separate and are hard to shake back up. Any nail polish will do this though, and its a very minor problem.
This is a true nail polish that actually lasts! I have Turquoise and Caicos, a gorgeous blue colour I believe that it is a limited edition i'm not sure! It lasts for such a long time, and the colour is a bit translucent than i'd like it to but its still great!
Quick. Easy. Minimal Chipping
I have around 3 Essie polishes and they're all wonderful. They dry quick and are very pigmented meaning you don't have to wait all day for them to dry, or you accidentally ruin them. They stay on at the maximum of a week. Will purchase more in the future. :)
I have 3 essie colors-- go overboard, wrapped in rubies, and ballet slippers. I'm IN LOVE the colors, but the quality isn't great, so I'm sort of torn. It chips and peels rather easily, and can go on in clumps if you don't shake it. I don't use a base coat which may explain the clumps, but I use a top coat and it still peels easily.
Favorite nail polishes
I love this nail polishes. The formulation is amazing! Any other nail polish that I use easily chips off where I work. Essie nail polishes stay on all week with minimal chipping and a little tip wear. I will purchase many many more of these.
Lovely summer polish
Though this was released in Winter, this turquoise creme screams summer!!! It's reminiscent of the beautiful blue/green waters of the Caribbean.
Where's My Chaueffer? has a good formula and is opaque in two easy coats. It also dries to a beautiful shine. I would definitely recommend having this beauty in your stash!
Excellent glitter polish
'Set in Stones', really amazing silver glitter top coat polish that is SUPER sparkly. In the clear liquid there is large circle glitter pieces and much smaller silver pieces. It is a bit thick but I think that's a bit necessary for having so much glitter in it, it applies very smoothly and no pieces stick out. One coat will result in a good scattering of sparkles, and about three coats will cover your nail completely with the glitter pieces.
(Two of my posted videos here use this polish!)

For the sixth year in a row, Logan Goodwin, 10, and his grandmother, Diane Goodwin, have given the Anson County Sheriff's Office a new supply of stuffed animal and figures, to be given out to kids in crisis situations.
The Sheriff's Office uses them and distributes them to other law enforcement agencies, the Department of Social Services (DSS) and Anson County's Domestic Violence Coalition. These agencies, along with the Sheriff's Office, give the toys out to children at accident scenes, police calls, domestic violence or any situation where small children are frightened and need something to "hug" or hold on to.
Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen said, "Sometimes children are in the middle of very harsh situations. Life's not always fair and little children seem to be where it's the most unfair. I've seen these stuffed animals dry up tears and give a trembling child something secure to hold on to. I want to thank Logan and Diane for starting this project six years ago."
"Logan told me he wanted to thank us for letting him and his grandmother help on this project because, as Logan said, 'there are children out there that need something to hold and love on in times of needs,'" Sheriff Allen added. "Logan also wanted me to remind the public that if they have any good used bicycles to contact the Sheriff's Office for our Christmas Bicycle Program for Kids. Now that's a lot of thought and insight for a 10-year-old."
Since this project began six years ago by Logan, churches, civic organizations and many individuals now help keep a good supply on hand at the Sheriff's Office.
Logan is the son of Bruce and Kitt Goodwin and the grandson of Diane and Billy Goodwin of Wadesboro.
