Customer service and satisfaction is top priority at Bramble Berry. Here are some comments from the many happy soap makers who purchase Bramble Berry products. Thank you all for your patronage!
Questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Write to us here.
Dear Brambleberry, I have just recently this year been introduced into the world of creating soaps and lotions. I live on a small Island up in Alaska where the winters are long cold and dry and a craft like this is treasured. I would like to say thank you for this wonderful sight you have provided. I simply can not express enough the joy the quality and splendor of your ingredients has brought me. Making lotions and cold press soaps is a newly found passion I take a great peace and satisfaction from and it could not be better achieved or accomplished then with the help of Brambleberry.com. I just wanted to say thank you! Your web sight is happy, charming and altogether classy!
I wanted to write and thank you very much for the information you have shared with us through your videos and websites that has enabled us to take a weekend craft and turn it into a business. My wife had always wanted to try making soap but was afraid of the lye. After watching your soaping 101 videos, we decided to give it a shot. We made a loaf with your relaxing scent and after waiting for it to cure tried it out. I had never used hand made soap before and did not know the benefits of it. It made my skin feel so good. We gave some to some friends and family and when they ran out they wanted to buy some from us. That was two years ago. That is how Wild Mountain Soap Company was born. This month we opened a shop in Fayetteville, WV. We make soap, lotion bars, lotion and other bath and body products and it all started with the information you provided us and also products from Brambleberry. Thank you.
I would like to try the Crisp Apple Rose as my little sample. And...I have to give a big THANK YOU to customer service! I had placed this order on Sunday afternoon and then remembered the sale that started today. The girl that was working with me cancelled my order so I could wait and replace it today. Because of this I was able to get a larger size of the Oatmeal Stout FO for only 4 more dollars. THANK YOU!! I appreciate everything you do for me.
Thanks for a great sale! I've been so pleased with your products & I love the surprise sample each time I order!! This is my first year soaping & I've learned so much from Anne Marie & from your website! You rock!!
Thank you so much! I just love your company. I make goats milk soap from my grass fed raw dairy goats milk and sell quite a bit of it. I actually was able to open a small raw milk dairy with the funds for my soap sales. Keep up the good work!
If it were not for the guidance and instruction of the Soap Queen blog and Soap Queen TV tutorial videos, and products that Bramble Berry offers, I would not have even had the confidence to begin my soapy career, nor come as far as I have. A huge impact on my business and life. What started out as making soap as a hobby and for my family has turned into a full fledged business in just a few years. Just, thanks, for sharing your wealth of knowledge and making available all that you offer!
I do thank you and Brambleberry from the bottom of my heart for all magical thing and efforts you do for us soap lovers . Your sharing of knowledge is really extraordinary.
Regards to you and please send my regards to Soap Queen. She inspired me so.
I'm brand new to soaping. Just love your videos, especially the out takes. Can you tell me the difference in using fragrances and Essential oils ? Would I more E.O. for scenting my soaps? Also, would I use more or less with H.P. vs C.P. ? I'm very thrilled about receiving my first batch of supplies from you and Amaon, Ive been reading two of your books and watching hours of Youtube videos. Im sure soaping is for me and I can hardly wait to see my first loaf of soap. I'm quickly becoming a displaced chauffeur/taxi owner due to Lyft and Uber. Lastly, I want to thank you for your persistence 20 years ago and all you have done to perfect your soaping technicalities and your willingness to share , with others like me. You show me that I can have fun while possibly earning a new sourse of income.
When I first started thinking about soap I was looking on the internet at all these YouTube videos. I had NO IDEA what the heck they were talking about! Then I was on some website that sent me to soap queen and then to Brambleberry. FINALLY some that spoke a language I could understand. I have not been in business a whole year yet but I just quit my full-time government job to go part time so I can rock my soap and lotion and soon to be scrubs. Could you please just let everyone there know that YOU ARE REALLY APPRECIATED!!
Hello! I just received my very first Brambleberry package and I love everything! Everything I ordered was in the package and I loved the free samples, which I am very appreciative of. I'm in the process of trying to start my own bath and body product business, along with candles, so I will definitely be ordering from you soon. Please send my special thanks to Sophia for packing my order. You all are awesome! Thank you.
I love using your products. The scents hold no matter what. I cleaned out my soaproom a year ago and found a sealed box. I opened it and inside was about 20 bars of English Rose soap I forgot about. The scent was as fresh as the day I made it about 4 years ago. Now THAT'S quality!! I wrapped and sold it at the next craft fair. Keep up the great work. We love your scents and customer service!!
Thank you very much. You guys really have a good customer service. I am very pleased.
No trouble at all, your customer service has always been outstanding! I know things can happen when shipping these types of items, but this will NEVER stop me from ordering from you... BB is my go-to! I really appreciate the gesture and will be using my coupon soon.
I just wanted to let you know that you guys have a new believer!!! I placed an order with you on July 22 and I received my products on July 25th! It has been years since I've received such great, fast service!!! and not only were you fast but everything I ordered was wonderful, I'm extremely happy with your company. I have ordered other product from you as well, and have used some of your recipes and I have loved everything. I have been in this industry since 1996, but only recently have become full-time. Keep up the good work!
I love your products and all of the wonderful info on your website and blog! i make handcrafted bath bombs and the quality of your ingredients ensures that my customers are always happy ~ thanks!
WOW! That is wonderful. Thank you so much. I have one client who goes through so much soap with the Cedar & Saffron scent that they cannot keep it on the shelves. It is great news to be getting it sent up here. Again, thank you so much - that is awesome service, you guys really know how to do business with class.
You made my day, I hope you have a great one as well.
Just wanted to send you a love letter! I placed my order on Tuesday the 14th. Received it today the 17th. Was totally freaking out as I thought I had another container of optiphen and I didn't so product making was on hold. Have a big event this weekend. Brambleberry, you saved me:) Your customer service and prompt delivery is so much better than your competition:)
Big hugs,
Thanks so much for the note AND gift certificate! I just finished making a soap using your Brazilian Clay Sampler Pack...made a vid too and gave Bramble Berry a nice spotlight :)
Thanks again,
Thank you so much for my order!! This was my first time ordering with you, I am so impressed with the quality of everything. I made a batch of CP soap the other day and the colors were so lovely! I also really enjoyed the sample you sent as well. Thanks again, I will be ordering again soon;)
Dear Brambleberry staff,
I want to thank you for the wonderful products and services you provide. You might not realize what the impact your work has.
A few months ago, I had to take a leave of absence from work for health reasons. I was grateful for the rest but also going a little stir crazy. Many of the activities I enjoy most either weren't possible or were limited, including my very favorite: gardening. I love flowers, especially fragrant flowers. Smelling a bouquet of roses or honeysuckle or lilies always brings me joy! I thought how amazing it would be to smell them even when they weren't in season. That's when I started researching soap making and other homemade body care items. I found your website and fell in love with the gorgeous selection of fragrance and essential oils. <3
Recently I wrote a magazine article using what I'd learned. It's a special issue all about Halloween--creative projects, decorating ideas, etc. My article was about making Halloween candy-themed skin care treat bags. I included recipes for Caramel Apple Body Scrub (sugar, coconut oil, and your Red Apple and Burnt Sugar FOs), Pumpkin Spice Lotion (a bit of shea butter mixed with your Aloe Lotion Base, Apricot mica, and Pumpkin Pie FO), and Candy Corn Moisturizing Bars (coconut oil, white beeswax, sweet almond oil, and your Apricot and Yellow micas, sweetened by your Cream Cheese Frosting FO, and formed in popsicle molds).
This week I shared more treats with a special group of women. I'm leading a Bible study for divorced women at my church this summer. Some are in the middle of the painful process right now. Others, like me, were divorced several years ago but still struggle sometimes with the after effects. It's a much-needed time of fellowship, encouragement, and support for all of us. I brought them an assortment of light perfumes, lotions, and hand milled soaps I'd made with your fragrances: Heirloom Rose, Sunflower and Bergamot, Honeysuckle and Apple, Jasmine and Cherry Almond, Carnation and Rain, and Woodland Violet (an unexpected, beautiful combination of Violet and Tobacco & Bay Leaf FOs). They absolutely loved them and were as giddy as teenagers smelling and spraying and adding their favorites to their gift bags.
Thank you so much for the work you do. Thank you for sending out lovely products and friendly service every day. Each one creates joyful ripples in other people's lives.
With sincere appreciation,
Thank you so much for adjusting the grapefruit EO, and again, so quickly and efficiently. I am highly impressed by the supreme customer service I received from you. It has made it a pleasure to work with your firm. I think the order is good to go now. Let me thank you again for all your efforts, I appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Thanks so much!. I am really impressed with you scents, how items shipped etc. Just placed another mold order today with you. This soap stuff is addictive I tell ya! I have ordered from a couple different retailers plus I am a retail buyer and I think your site and service is great. Thanks for correcting my order, cannot wait to get my thermometer and I look forward to more projects with your help.
Love your products and your company.
You are so FAST, thank you! It arrived a few minutes ago, and all is good ^_^
I am an avid fan and still surprise myself at the intensity with which I watch your videos. They ultimately are beyond informative, engaging and immersive, captivating my imagination and transforming me, at least in my mind, into a soap deliverer capable of inventing the next trendy soap product of the century and, why not, creating a sizable and noticeable soap bubble. By anyone's yardstick, you have shown us all that it is possible and if the rumors are true, you'd be the happiest to share in your subjects' success. After all, we could not do it, within our mortal years, without your infinite grace, steadfast guidance and generously shared, unbridled wisdom. THANK YOU!
"Thank you for your prompt response. Bramble Berry has the best customer service of any company I know of. Pass the word!" -Rene

Skeuomorphism is something that users have come to expect in apps for iPhone, iPad and even the Mac these days. It's easily recognisable, and Apple has mainly been responsible for bringing simulacra back to user interface design in the past few years with iOS, and then extending that to the desktop with OS X Mountain Lion. Let's start by clearing up some confusion and common mistakes about some recent terminology that's being thrown around.

M.B.A.s flock to tech scene
Biz-school courses focus on giving back: Student demand leads to increase in social-enterprise programs
In 2010, Donnel Baird grew increasingly frustrated while working for a coalition of labor and environmental groups in Washington, D.C., to promote residential energy efficiency and sustainability projects.
In the process, he discovered how difficult it was for entrepreneurial businesses, nonprofits, churches and other small enterprises to find backers such as banks willing to fund their efforts to install solar power or energy-conservation technologies. "The transaction costs and the risks were too high," he said.
At the same time, he yearned to expand a program the coalition ran to train the unemployed to work in the clean-energy field, tackling projects such as energy retrofits. Read more.

From the author of Extraordinary Chickens comes the latest extraordinary animal--the pig. One of the most intelligent animals on earth, the pig is a fascinating creature with an abundance of personality. Photographer Stephen Green-Armytage captures these lively and energetic animals as they play and forage on the farm, prance around in the show ring, or strut across a studio backdrop.�
Extraordinary Pigs displays an enormous variety of swine, 38 in total, including tiny Kunekunes, wrinkled Meishans, spotted Gloucester Old Spots, curly-coated Mangalitzas, wild boars, and some miniatures, which are highly prized as pets. Breeds from around the world are featured here--from the United States, England, Wales, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, New Zealand, China, Vietnam, Africa, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Stephen Green-Armytage is the author of Abrams' Extraordinary series of books on chickens, pheasants, and pigeons, and his photographs have appeared in such magazines as Sports Illustrated, LIFE, Fortune, and Smithsonian. His chicken photographs are the subject of a popular series of calendars.

Never even had a desire to! I like to 'pick the brain' of people who have though. ^_^ I'm a 'girlie girl', (I like my hair, nails and toes done; perfume and lotions; and make-up) but I'm not a 'primping girlie girl'. Once it's on....I don't mess with it until I take it back off at the end of the day!! LOL I can't understand why anyone would 'want' to run a marathon!! Ha! Ha!

The streak is over!
The Bellmont Braves dispatched a 14-game losing streak by the wayside Tuesday night in the opening round of the class 3A sectional 22 boys basketball tournament at the Teepee by outlasting Maconaquah, a team that entered the tourney with a 14-6 record, by a 59-57 count in overtime.
BERNE — Bluffton built a 10-point lead over South Adams going into the fourth quarter of their Sectional 38 opener Tuesday, then Tigers' coach Kevin Leising pulled the plug as his squad successfully kept the ball away from the SA defenders in an eventual 50-31 victory at the Stardome.
The win puts the 14-6 Tigers in the 7:30 p.m. semi-final game against 2-18 Woodlan Friday night. Adams Central, 13-7, will take on state 2A power Bishop Luers, 16-4, in the 6 p.m. semi-final.
Aaron McClure really likes basketball. He played it a lot as a youth, still plays a bit as an adult, and has been a coach for 10 years or more at his alma mater.
However, as much as Adams Central's head coach (and very good former Flying Jet) enjoys the game, he was stone-faced serious when he talked about AC's sectional matchup with powerful Bishop Luers, winner of two of the last three Indiana Class 2A championships.
"How could you even consider getting rid of this," stated Bellmont wrestling coach Brent Faurote, minutes after his club was beaten by Penn, with the fiasco of a first-round match between Mater Dei and Crown Point finishing up on the next mat.
GREENWOOD — Penn wrestlers Sarah Hildebrandt at 112 and Jacob Davis at 119 pounds scored key come-from-behind wins over Bellmont's Jacob Girod and Bobby Keuneke to shift the momentum, propelling the Kingsmen to a 35-20 win over the Braves the Wrestling Team State quarter-finals Saturday morning at Center Grove.
It's been a long time since the Bellmont Braves have exited the locker room after a game with a smile on their face but BHS cage coach Larry Patterson said he believes the Braves "match up well" with the Maconaquah Braves, a team Bellmont will face in the opening game of the class 3A sectional Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at the Bellmont gym.
Bellmont's three-time first team All-State outside hitter Alex Fuelling has received the ultimate honor in high school sports, selection to an All-American team.
PrepVolleyball.com placed Fuelling, who led Bellmont to the 2010 3A Indiana state crown, on their 2010 All-American list, which includes the 150 top prep volleyball players in the country.
"I'm very proud and very happy for her," stated Bellmont volleyball coach Craig Krull on hearing the news Friday night.
Bellmont's 400 freestyle relay team broke the school record in the Jay County Sectional last Saturday. That record had stood for 27 years. Ironically, that was the last time that Bellmont advanced a swimmer to the second day of state competition. Bellmont's four swimmers set for the 2011 Boys Swimming and Diving State Championships feel they have a chance to break that skein and earn some Bellmont points at Indy.
While Bellmont has some 30 points to make up from a previous loss to Penn in the first round of the IHSAA Team State Wrestling Championships Saturday at Center Grove, Roncalli also has some ground to cover after losing to Perry Meridian 37-15 in a Dec. 11 meet. That was the only loss of the season for the Rebels, coached by former four-time state champ Lance Ellis of Indianapolis Cathedral.

In January, a number of Indiana farm organizations announced the Nutrient Management/Soil Health Strategy – a new voluntary initiative focused on improvement of soil health and management of nutrients on farmland.
The strategy is taking a long-term look at projects to measure changes in water quality associated with conservation farming techniques that improve soil health, such as cover crops and conservation tillage. The strategy also includes efforts to provide better access to technical information on nutrient need and application.
In April, Region 5 EPA officials came to central Indiana from Chicago to discuss goals for the strategy and provide feedback on the project. As part of the ongoing effort to conduct on-farm research, participants toured the School Branch Creek watershed in Brownsburg, Ind., a small part of the larger Eagle Creek watershed. The tour was used to inform EPA of ongoing research on nutrient removal research using a bioswale (a landscape element designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water and subsurface water). It showcased farms with high levels of conservation farming.
The watershed, the land in which is primarily for agriculture, will also be the site of ongoing monitoring, both in stream and at the edge of the field, to document the effectiveness of different management techniques in reducing nutrient loss from fields.
"We want to show the EPA that agriculture is committed to reducing nutrient loss from soil as much as is practical," said Justin Schneider, senior policy advisor and counsel for Indiana Farm Bureau. "We want to show that farmers will do this voluntarily, without additional regulations being imposed upon them."
Additional EPA Region 5 representatives will return in late June to provide additional input in the design of the research projects in the School Branch Creek watershed.

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (AP) - The launch of a Defense Department rocket from Wallops Island has been postponed due to inclement weather.
The launch window for the Terrier-Lynx suborbital rocket was originally set to open on Tuesday. NASA says the rocket will now launch no earlier than Saturday night.
A second rocket is expected to be launched about two weeks after the first rocket.
The rockets may be visible to residents in the mid-Atlantic region.
NASA officials say there will be no real-time launch status updates at the request of the Department of Defense. The launches also won't be shown live on the Internet.

Windows 8 anyway good and can I revert back?
Would you guys who have got Windows 8 recommend it? I can upgrade for £25. I currently have Win 7 Ultimate. If I did not like Windows 8 could could I re-install Windows 7 Ultimate (I have the full retail disc)?
I usually do programming and play computer games that's it. The games are my worry especially classics.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
If u read a reviews on win 8, it is not impressive. Some says that both are same. Yes it have better look but some expert says that win 7 is better. In terms of gaming u'll the same performance.
If i were u, i'll not shift to win 8 as i heard some softwares doesn't work. My bro used it and he shifted back to win 7.
For me win 7 best.
See if this helps
Did you like Windows 8???
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Win7 x 6 PC's
It's a touchscreen OS. If you have a touchscreen it's fine, otherwise it has an annoying button-wall instead of the Start Menu which slams down on your work just to get to your stuff.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8
Best way to revert to Windows 7 is to take an image of the OS and the system partitions before you install Windows 8.
I will not use Windows 8 because I see nothing in there that works better than in /7 - and I was testing /8 since day1.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Yeah just gaming worries me especially my old classic games 2003 / 2 games I doubt they would run.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Windows 7 Professional x64
Windows 8 RP was available as a free download; don't know if that's still out there.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Windows 7 Ultimate x64, XP Mode, W8.1 Preview VM - 7 Pro x64 second remote tower
A VM won't work for testing everything on 8. You can't install device drivers and run pc games on a VM while you may consider installing 8 on a VHD instead. Here I have a second OS drive where I can install any OS by simply unplugging the 7 host drive first to isolate that from the other.
The new version as far as booting into 7 from the 8 BCD is out! When seeing 7 added into the 8 boot options on the Release Preview the cost of booting into 7 rather then seeing an entry for the RP added into the 7 BCD was both versions soon started freezing up solid when first reaching the desktop and going to click on something showing the two are not dual boot friendly!
The Windows RT gui for the new MS Surface Tablet series is where the touchscreen part of it comes in. The gui is designed for Tablet while it still allows point and click. Most use a 3rd party app like Classic Shell to see the Start orb/menu now gone from 8 brought back!
The new version gets a great deal of mixed reviews no doubt and some are finding a lot of their desktop apps are running into problems while that is not unusual for any new version when first out. 7 was the exception for seeing things run on the 32bit that would not run on the 32bit Vista having been written for XP.
The word of advice would be going with a 90day evaluation you can install separately on a separate internal drive apart from any thought of simply tossing 7 to look at 8! You still keep 7 as the main OS while evaluating the likes and dislikes for the new version. Why worry about reverting back requiring a full restoration when you have other options available?
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Windows 8.1 Pro
I'm using Windows8 on the computer I'm presently using. I don't see no problems, I have a complete backup, and I feel I can do alot more then with Windows7, although I presently use both OS regularly.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2012
Windows 7 Ultimate x64, XP Mode, W8.1 Preview VM - 7 Pro x64 second remote tower
It depands on what you are running for softwares as well as what you are trying to do. Each version will have it's own set of rules to some degree. While Vista saw the removal of Fat support as well as a side bar for gadgets 7 saw gadgets on the desktop without need for a side bar. A taskbar you can pin things also now being a shared feature with 8.
Here I simply haven't found any reason other then any possible future need for Hyper-X which is something newly supported by 8. IE 10 will eventually be available for 7 only(not Vista or XP) but now only seen in platform preview form. That looked far better then IE 9!
For trying out any newer version being a totally separate OS to start with isolating it at first as a stand alone and trying to add in boot entries after creating a good system image for a start to see what problems come up is the better move then simply jumping in head first without looking!

HyperCardA hypertext programming environment for the Macintosh introduced by Apple in 1987. The HyperCard model consists of cards, and collections of cards, called stacks. You can connect the cards in various ways, and leaf through them the way you would with a set of Rolodex cards. In addition to data, each card can contain graphics and buttons that trigger other events, such as sound or video.
Each object in a HyperCard system -- stack, card, text field, button, or background -- can have a script associated with it. A script is a set of instructions that specify what actions should take place when a user selects an object with the mouse or when some other event occurs.
Writing HyperCard applications is known as authoring.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Administration is very involved with the students and parents. Plenty of opportunities for extracurricular activities. Administration does an excellent job of responding to parent requests and feedback
Both of my kids have gone to this school. There is no air conditioning, but aside from that it is a fantastic school! The administrators are fabulous and really care about the students. They offer offer lots of cool activities such as the 24 hour run, movie nights, activity nights, dodge-ball tournaments. Most of the teachers are great too! I'm so happy my kids went to this school!
Lundahl is amazing. My son is just finishing his 6th grade year and it has been such positive experience for him. Everything has been wonderful, starting with the school leadership, to the teachers, to the athletic activities he has been involved with. The school has a supportive culture, it feels safe and comfortable for the kids. My son is challenged academically, and feels accepted. Overall, couldn't be happier with this experience.
The school is 50-50. It's good because of awesome teachers like Mr. Nenn, and other company, you can also get lots of good extra credit in classes but what's best is Mr. Grubbs with his backflips. But what's bad about it is mean teachers that I'm not gonna say, and the school has no air conditiong which bothers lots of students at Lundahl.
Its okay, I'm a 7th grader. But the kids tend to be... eh. Not the best. The lockers don't open right. My grades are worse. And there's not really air conditioning... The good thing is the extra curricular and the teachers are nice. OH and mr. grubbs is awesomee!!
I am a sixth-grader from Lundahl and it's awesome! There are tons of great after school activites. I'm in an 'gifted' class (extra curricular) and the teachers have so much to offer!
They are great! they have extra teachers there to help during and after school, when you needed help which is why i went from almost a strait C student to A's and B's. They have a lot of connections with the parents. And they have a massive load of school activities and sports. Their very pertective but i like it. and they will have police at the school every day and even if somebody threatend to have a shooting at the school. The only thing if you really want to hear something wrong with it i would sya a little more air conditioning!
Lundahl is great! I am a 6th grader and have been there for only about 2 months and i love it there. Its like my home away from home!
Lundahl has lots of outside activities, perfect for any student. It has diffrent band levels and has various art, music, and language classes, along with the basic corses too. It has a group of extra-cericuler clases for those who learn at a faster pace. It also has a great staff who are very helpful to the students.
I think this school is pretty nice, compared to the other schools in the area, it has the least amount of problems with behavior.
i don't like the school that much but the teachers are really really nice.The only big promble i have with it is that there is no air in the summer.
I am a seventh grader at lundahl. I feel that this school is good at being a good influence emotionally for the students, but sometimes academic studies are hard to come by.
I am not a parent but a student of lundahl middle school. I'm in eigth grade. this school needs major updating on ventilation. the upper gym has no windows and is always hot even in the winter. some teachers are very under qulified for the job if you ask me. I would only give this school 2 stars. the only things I find impresive there is the math and science courses.
I love this school! I'm a student and I've loved every minute of it! The kids are great and the teachers are awesome. This is one of the best schools I've gone to. There are many extracirricular activities to participate in too! If your into sports or are not so athletic there's something for you!
This is a good school but is very old so there is no air conditioning and could be updated a little more than it is.

No. 23 Kent State finishes off Ohio 28-6
But nothing will take away what he's done in a short time with the Golden Flashes.
Their 11 wins are the most in school history and with 16 wins in the past two seasons, the Golden Flashes have matched the school's win total from 1989-2000, when Kent State went 16-115-1.
"There was a weird feeling that things were changing around here," said Malauulu, a junior college transfer. "Coach Hazell talked about how it would be the people who would change things, and I just hopped on the bus and believed."
Kent State is the first MAC East school to go 8-0 in conference play since 2003, when Miami did it behind senior quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
"It's been fun to watch this team all season," Hazell said. "They're mature, they don't flinch, they don't panic and they feed so well off each other."
The Golden Flashes came in leading all FBS schools in turnover margin, and they wasted little time forcing the Bobcats, who seemed sleepy with an 11 a.m. kickoff, to cough up the ball.
Kent State scored two defensive touchdowns in the first quarter - one on a 50-yard fumble return, the other on Malauulu's pick - to stun Ohio and open a 21-0 lead.
Just 12 seconds after Durham's 15-yard burst, aided by some bad tackling, made it 14-0, Malauulu picked off Tettleton in the middle of the field. He found some blocks down the left sideline and dived inside the front pylon for the score, which survived a video replay.
"That was a crazy play," Malauulu said. "It happened so fast. I read the quarterback's eyes, I rolled over that way and came up with the ball. I picked it and I was like `Oh my gosh, I caught the ball.'"
Earlier, Malauulu stripped Blankenship and Kent State's Luke Wollet fielded a one-hopper off the turf and sprinted half the field to make it 7-0.
Ohio managed a 33-yard field goal by Matt Weller to close the quarter, but the Bobcats were down 18 despite outgaining the Golden Flashes, running more than twice as many offensive plays and holding the ball for eight more minutes.
Two plays did them in.
"We just killed ourselves with the turnovers," Blankenship said. "Just stupid plays."
Weller's 41-yard field goal before halftime trimmed Kent State's lead to 21-6 and sent Ohio's players to the locker room with confidence after being on the verge of a blowout loss.
But the Bobcats, who also hurt themselves with penalties in the first half, couldn't get anything going on offense after halftime. They were still hanging around in the fourth quarter before Keith hit Eric Adeyemi for a 24-yard TD to make it 28-6.
When the final seconds ticked off the clock, Kent State's players lined up and rang a victory bell before heading to the locker room.
Once ignored, the Golden Flashes are making noise.
"We knew we could do something special," Malauulu said. "This is the season we all wanted."

Gogebic Taconite is an iron-ore mining company in development stage, based in Florida,[1] with a presence in Hurley, Wisconsin.[2][3] The company, owned by the larger mining outfit, Cline Resource and Development Group, is at the center of a dispute among politicians, community groups, environmental organizations, Native American tribal councils and various stakeholders because of a proposed mining project slated for operation in Iron and Ashland counties in northern Wisconsin.[4]
Designed to produce low-grade taconite pellets used for steelmaking, the project under consideration in northern Wisconsin might yield up to 2 billion tons of ore across the 22-mile long lease property, according to company figures.[5] The $1.5 billion project (in terms of taxable revenue) sits amongst the remote Penokee Hills south of Lake Superior, and most of the initial work is to be done in a 4- to 5-mile section near the town of Mellen, 20 miles south of the Bad River Band tribal reservation in Odanah, Wi.[6] With lease rights covering over 21,000 acres, the project would be the largest open pit iron ore mine in the world, and requires legislative action in the Wisconsin State Legislature to advance.[7] Hurley, Wi has a long history of mining in the area. Mining began somewhere around 1880[8] when the first iron was discovered. Both shaft and open mining, like the process proposed by Gogebic Taconite, have been recorded since the late 1800s in the area. Hurley, Wi is more known for its lake effect snow falls, miles of snowmobiling trails, hunting, fishing and local ski hills, but that wasn't always the case. The entire area, both historically and culturally, is an area of both mining and logging. The Hurley High School mascott is the "Midgets" due to the stature of working in the mines. A mainstay food in the area is the pasty, which was brought over from the English miners to the area in the late 1800s. You will find bars named the Iron Nugget, Freddie's Old Time Saloon, and the Iron Horse Inn which encompass the rich history of the area. For decades in the late 19th century and into the 1920s, the Gogebic was one of the nation's chief sources of iron. Iron from the Gogebic helped to fuel the industrial boom in the Upper Midwest during these years. By 1930 mining was winding down in the area. The mines began closing in amid a national economy suffering from the Great Depression. The result was widespread economic devastation in the Gogebic Range. The Montreal and Cary mines closed in the 1960s when the steel industry changed from using high-grade iron ore from deep shaft mines to using abundant taconite ore that could be economically mined by the open-pit method. At the time of closing, the Montreal and Cary mines were producing ore from workings nearly one mile deep. The last iron ore from the Gogebic Iron Range in Wisconsin was shipped from the Cary Mine in Hurley in 1965.[9] The mines can still be seen in the historical mining houses along the Carey stretch and Montreal areas. The mining industry sustained the area for 85 years with no known environmental affects.
When Gogebic Taconite began pursuing an iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin, the numbers grabbed both supporters and opponents.
» 700: mining jobs created in the first 30 years of operation locally with a livable wage
» $1.4: billions of dollars of tax revenue a mine would generate for local and state government over that time
» 2,100: number of related jobs created statewide
» 1,000: feet deep at the deepest point of a mine
» 22: miles wide the pit mine would be after 90 or more years of work
» 22,000: acres of potential iron ore deposits
» $200,000,000,000 Billion(inaccurate figure): Total Value of the Penokee Range Iron Ore
Proponents of the project say that the first mining phase will last 35 years and create 700 direct mining jobs. Opponents question the jobs claim, say that the mine will harm the environment and pollute local water sources, including sloughs where Bad River tribal members hold traditional rice harvests. More recent controversy has focused on the present state of the Bad River that runs within the reservation. [10][11] In particular, opponents have noted that the presence of iron sulfide in the overburden could cause acid mine drainage. Legislators, including Republican Governor Scott Walker, have voiced their support for the mine, while state Democrats, environmental groups like the Sierra Club, all 11 sovereign Tribal Nations in Wisconsin, including the local Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians, most of the cities in the area of the proposed mine (including La Pointe, Ashland, Bayfield and Washburn), are in opposition even though these cities are not located in the mining zone. However, these towns are within the Lake Superior watershed area and will be effected by the water and air pollution created by the mine. Hurley, Wi, which is historically and culturally a mining town and Mellen, Wi are open to the proposal. These would be the closest towns within the mining zone.[12][13][14]
In July, 2013, the mine site owners hired armed security to guarantee the safety of the work site and employees after protesters attacked a local women hired to watch the companies equipment.[15] The Security company hired is "BulletProof" from Arizona, who patrol armed and in BDU's. The company then came to an agreement with local law enforcement and continued to use local residents to monitor property.

DEFINITION of 'Headhunter'
A corporation or individual that provides employment recruiting services. A headhunter is hired by firms to find talent, and to locate individuals who meet specific job requirements, such as an executive with 15 years experience in a certain field. The term headhunter may also be referred to as an executive recruiter. Headhunters may have a pool of candidates for specific positions, or may act aggressively to find talent by looking at competitors' employees.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Headhunter'
A headhunter is retained to fill positions, often for jobs that require high skills levels, or offer high pay. Headhunters working on behalf of a firm often scour international organizations for top talent. In comparison to job fairs, headhunters seek individuals based on their skill level, not potential employees based on looser skill classes. In addition, some individuals may contact a headhunter to provide a resume or curriculum vitae (CV), or to apply for a position for which the headhunter is seeking talent.

Capitalist: A man who has gained an unhealthy love of his money - the root of all evil according to the Bible.
Social-ist: A man who has gained an unhealthy love of other peoples money - but by then, the Bible has no effect on his conscience any more
You only have power over a man for as long as you don't take everything away from him. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he is no longer in your power, he's free again. - (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
As for International Law they are conventions, agreements and customs between peoples and is formed by what is considered to be universally right - both ethically and morally. Articles of War may not contain the words 'thou shall not kill', but they do state that parties to a conflict must take great care to deferentiate between non-combatants and combatants to mitigate the deaths of innocent people. Its about being realistic - God isn't going to wave his, her or its' hand over everything and make it OK so we have to muddle on the best we can and International Law is a way of doing this.
What is perhaps the most interesting point is the fact that people just bandy the words International Law around without actually knowing what they are. MPs do this frequently as do those who criticise Israel. Of course I can never get an answer from any of them. As for the vote in the General Assembly the Palestinians have just lead themselves down a cul-de-sac in terms of any future negotiations. Israel is now well within its rights to refuse to negotiate.
They've also been known to refer to UN Resolutions which condemn state aggression as being no more than pieces of paper for wiping their a***s on.
I see you are still incapable of providing me with evidence of this so called illegal occupation. Is this a tactic of anti-Israelis to avoid the uncomfortable truth - if you don't like it you either simply ignore it or spin a web of lies and deceit in an attempt to somehow justify your nonsense.
I also thought it was a wonderful moment of 'international democracy' and moral condemnation of Israeli aggression! Wasn't there only 8 or 9 votes against the move?
You are yet to prove:
1. That the 1922 British mandate justifies the continuing Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
2. That the mandate was a legally binding document under international law and that it still is nearly a century later.

[QUOTE=hawksmoor1711;27886821]It was you who called UN resolutions "Toilet paper".
Seems pretty straight forward to me...
It's actually difficult to find anyone else who tries to justify the occupation with the 1922 British mandate as you do. Most 'arguments' about the West Bank belonging to Israel seem to be based on the bible or some other 2,000 year old history. Some argue that the two plus million Palestinians who live there are in fact Israelis anyway. I'm sure that must have come as a surprise to them!
But whatever the 'argument', nobody is being fooled. The continuing illegal occupation, encouraged by the continuing United States and its allies policy of turning a blind eye, is the one major obstacle to peace and the biggest contributor to the mistrust of the West within the Muslim world today.
Now the Israelis have announced that a whole new illegal settlement of 3,000 plus 'homes' is to be built on occupied land effectively cutting the West Bank in two. It makes you wonder if the Israeli government really want peace at all.
"There are no deferences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrian and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity...yes, the existance of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The found of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel"
The British called Christians, Jews and Muslims - Palestinian.
Of course you will deny all of this and more then resort to some incoherent random argument in an attempt to dismiss the incovenient truth of it all.
Ask yourself this - If the settlements are illegal - why hasn't anyone taken Israel to court over the issue??

Battery storage to make reserve coal plants redundant
The new battery reacts within a fraction of a second, far faster than conventional plants can with their rotating masses.
The new battery reacts within a fraction of a second, far faster than conventional plants can with their rotating masses.
Could adding fixed grid charges to the bills of solar customers encourage more people to ditch their utility?
SunPower has flagged the introduction of battery storage into the commercial market in 2015 in Australia, as it looks to rapidly expand its home energy service offerings.
A new report concludes that policymakers and regulators are not prepared for consumer empowerment on the grid.
With more houses using distributed PV with battery storage but still needing a utility, how will distributed storage integrate into the current market?
Report predicts global energy storage market will 'explode' to annual installation size of 6GW in 2017 and over 40GW by 2022.
The SolarCity/Tesla partnership has made solar and battery storage sexy. But the product is not new; others have been doing it for years.
Battery storage costs are falling much faster than predicted, providing benefits to consumers and network operators.
There is a lot of focus on the ability of battery storage to shift peaks and store energy for hours, or even days. But energy systems with high renewables penetration will need longer term solutions – hydrogen, compressed air, pumped hydro are three technologies being looked at in Australia and elsewhere.
Networks are facing the biggest challenge to their business model since poles and wires were first erected a century ago. It will need new concepts such as a 'thin pipe' model to control costs, retain customers and avoid having stranded assets. Otherwise, they will fall victim to solar 'guerrillas'.
Which suburb, or town, will be the first to take itself off-grid in Australia? It's now a serious question, driven by the plunging cost of solar and the arrival of battery storage. ARENA, meanwhile, is looking at novel ways to ensure rooftop solar is available to the lowest income households, renters, and apartment dwellers.
