Neo-Nazi Leader Matt Hale Stands Trial for Murder Plot
CHICAGO -- When Matt Hale shambled into a small Chicago courtroom on April 6, commencing the first day of a trial that could land him in prison for life, nobody gasped audibly. But the first glimpse of Hale, David Duke's only serious rival for the title of America's most famous neo-Nazi, left looks of profound confusion on dozens of faces around the courtroom.
Looks that said: That can't possibly be him, can it?
But yes, this was him. This was the man who had spent more than a decade crafting a public image as the handsome, clean-cut, suit-and-tie-wearing boy genius of American neo-Nazism.
Now, for the most critical three weeks of his life, Hale had decided to eschew his Sunday best and come to court in an orange prison jumpsuit, carelessly unbuttoned at the top, a stretch of white T-shirt showing underneath.
Puzzled reporters later discovered that Hale had chosen his attire as a way of protesting his incarceration, of marking himself as a "political prisoner" for all the world to see. But since the judge reportedly refused to let Hale's attorney explain his appearance to the jury, the prison jumpsuit only served to mark him as a criminal.
It wasn't the first time Hale had left people scratching their heads. The reality of Matt Hale — like that of the neo-Nazi group he commanded — has never come close to the image. He made grandiose claims about the World Church of the Creator's membership, for instance, sometimes telling gullible reporters and supporters there were as many as 80,000 — when the real number never reached one thousand.
But Hale exaggerated so expertly that even the normally sharp New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof fell for it, calling WCOTC the standard-bearer of "Hate, American Style."
Nothing mattered more than the personal image of Hale himself. A mere 25 years old in 1996, when he was crowned Pontifex Maximus (high priest) of an obscure, nearly moribund organization called "Church of the Creator," Hale quickly displayed a rare gift for attracting publicity.
Like Duke, he recognized that a presentable, well-spoken, youthful neo-Nazi leader would certainly have novelty on his side. Especially one who, like Hale, could boast about being a law student at a reputable university.
As he traveled the country, mingling with his fellow neo-Nazis at rallies and watering down his message of racial holy war ("RaHoWa") for small-town library audiences, Hale always made one thing perfectly clear: He was a cut above the herd.
To reinforce this illusion, Hale added "World" to the name of his group. He christened two upstairs rooms in his father's humble house in East Peoria, Ill., the "World Headquarters." Wherever he went, he made sure he was accompanied by his "elite security force," the White Berets. His thin, quavering voice spoke in measured, lofty tones.
When reporters from big magazines like GQ came calling, he might even break out his violin, emphasizing that he was not only a law student but — get this! — a classically trained musician, as well. For photos, he would often remove his glasses and clench his jaw, making his face look fuller, more dignified.
And now here he was, on the first day of jury selection, wearing that orange jumpsuit. As Hale gingerly lowered himself into his chair at the defendant's desk, he craned his thin neck around the courtroom for a quick, anxious study of the spectators.
What he saw surely dispirited him. Or, rather, what he didn't see, because the only familiar faces belonged to a couple of local reporters and Hale's divorced parents, Russell and Evelyn.
Not one of his followers had shown up for the start of what Hale, in prison letters and poems, had grandly dubbed "Nuremberg II," or, more simply, "The Great Trial."
For the man who would be führer, it only went downhill from there. Hale would watch as his defense attorney, Thomas Durkin, helped select a multiracial jury — five African Americans, one Latino, and one white college dean with a black partner — to decide whether the white-supremacist leader had obstructed justice and solicited the murder of a federal judge. (Durkin's theory, with which Hale vehemently disagreed, was that minorities would be more likely to believe that the government had framed his client.)
He would look on as Durkin tested the jurors' patience with long, rambling, frequently overruled arguments and cross-examinations. He would see revulsion spread across jurors' faces as they read his E-mail messages and listened to tapes of his public speeches and private conversations.
Hale could only watch, silent and slack-jawed, as the curtain was pulled back on his cherished empire and his carefully groomed image, revealing the shabbiness and sordidness behind the illusion. And in one final, painful twist of fate, those most responsible for pulling back the curtain would be three of the members the Pontifex Maximus trusted the most.
Vacuuming for the Führer
Jimmy Burnett was barely old enough to drive in 1991, when he happened upon a cable-access television show called "Race and Reason." The host was a nerdy-looking, smart-sounding Bradley University student who had founded a neo-Nazi group on campus.
Born with fetal alcohol syndrome, Burnett had serious mental and physical disabilities that had led him to drop out of school. He was looking for something to do with his life. So he called the hotline number spelled out by the host.
And the next thing he knew, Matt Hale had shown up on his doorstep, ready to help him find his life's purpose.
After Hale assumed command of the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC), Burnett became his Boy Friday, working for him three times a week. He vacuumed the "World Headquarters." He rolled up copies of the Church's newsletter, The Struggle. He helped maintain the shrine that Hale erected to himself, adding fresh photos, articles, and videos of Hale's television appearances.
He would do anything "Mr. Hale" asked — which meant, on one occasion, stealing a batch of Thrifty Nickel newspapers and inserting WCOTC fliers in them.
"I wouldn't dare defy him," Burnett nervously testified on the second day of his former hero's trial.
In September 1998, Burnett got some help with his tasks at the World Headquarters. Ben Smith, a sweet-faced local college student, quickly became Hale's most enthusiastic proselyte — a tireless worker who left thousands of WCOTC leaflets in mailboxes, on cars and in driveways all across Illinois.
Unlike Burnett, who testified that he'd only read "just a few chapters in front" of the church's main "holy book," The White Man's Bible, Smith shared Hale's passion for the twisted ideology mapped out by Ben Klassen, the Church of the Creator founder who committed suicide in 1993.
Like Burnett, Smith had access to both the public Matt Hale and the private Matt Hale. In public, Burnett testified, Hale would inveigh against Jews and "mud races," but also advise members to "stay legal at all times."
But "it was more of a darker tone at private meetings," Burnett said, "more hinting at violence." Hale would talk, for instance, about having "Jewish leaders hanged." And what about white people who consorted with minorities?
"He would have race traitors exterminated."
Shooting for More Members
When Matt Hale spoke, Jimmy Burnett listened. Ben Smith acted. In the summer of 1999, word came down that Hale had been denied his law license in Illinois, deemed morally unfit for the bar.
A few days later, Smith — who had planned to follow Hale's lead and go to law school himself — launched out on a three-day, one-man ethnic-cleansing campaign that left two people shot to death and seven wounded. On July 4, he ended the spree by turning a gun on himself.
Hale, Burnett testified, was anything but sorry. He had only one regret, he told his faithful assistant: "He wished Ben Smith had killed more race traitors." Far from distraught at losing the man he called "my protégé," Hale seemed positively ebullient, telling Burnett the national attention brought on by Smith's rampage "would bring in more membership and more PR."
That it did. The WCOTC's membership began to climb, reaching its peak two years later with 88 chapters nationwide — more than any other neo-Nazi group could claim. Hale became a minor media celebrity in the wake of the tragedy, profiled in major newspapers and magazines, interviewed by Katie Couric on the "Today" show, visited at home by CNN.
But while he was riding high, Hale was sowing the seeds of his own destruction — and the WCOTC's.
Burnett stuck with him longer than anyone else — "till he was arrested," he testified. But by the time Burnett stepped down from the witness stand, visibly relieved to be finished with painting his former hero as a serial liar and petty tyrant, the jury was prepared to believe just about anything about his former boss.
"You've seen some members of the WCOTC," prosecutor David Weisman would remind them in his closing argument, "and [Hale] is a lot smarter than all of them. He is a manipulator. He wants somebody else to do his dirty work."

Voters in the East Central College district returned one member to the board of trustees and elected another to serve an unexpired two-year term.
Unofficial results show incumbent Don Kappelmann from Sub-district One defeated Dr. Joseph Stroetker of Sullivan. Kappelmann, a New Haven native, received 5,638 votes to 2,542 for Stroetker. Kappelmann has served one term on the board.
Ann Hartley defeated fellow Union resident Kathryn Hurlbert for the Sub-district Two seat formerly held by Catherine Scott of St. Clair. Hartley garnered 4,843 votes and Hurlbert received 3,172. Hartley will serve the remaining two years of Scott's unexpired term.
Scott resigned from the board last August when she moved out of the college district.
Prudence Fink Johnson of Union, current board vice president, was unopposed in her bid for another six-year term on the board. Fink Johnson also represents Sub-district Two and has served on the board for 18 years.
College trustees will meet Monday, April 9, for their regular monthly meeting. At that time, the board will accept results of the April election as certified by the county clerks. Fink Johnson, Kappelmann and Hartley will be sworn into office and the new board will elect a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer to serve for the next two years.
The board of trustees is the sole statutory legislative governing body responsible for the control and operation of East Central College. Neither state statutes nor district policy limits the number of terms a member may serve.
The ECC board consists of six trustees, two each from three sub-districts of the college district. Trustees are elected at large, but must be a resident of the sub-district he or she represents.
Sub-district One includes the school districts of Crawford County R-1 (Bourbon), Sullivan C-2, Strain-Japan R-16, Spring Bluff R-15, Franklin County R-2, New Haven, the portions of Lyon and Boone Townships as well as the Beaufort-Union precinct in the Union R-11 School District. Also included in Sub-district One are the portions of the Boeuf and Lyon Townships in the Washington School District.
Sub-district Two includes the school districts of Lonedell R-14, St. Clair R-13, and Union R-11 excluding the Lyon and BooneTownship portion of Union R-11 and that portion located in the Beaufort-Union precinct.
Results are unofficial and will be certified by county clerks in Crawford, Franklin, Gasconade, St. Charles, Warren and Washington Counties later this week.
More than 62,000 voters living in the college district were registered to vote in the April 3 election.

Hard on the heels of Federated Group's purchase by computer maker Atari, three of the troubled consumer electronics retailer's top executives have resigned.
They are Wilfred Schwartz, 59, who was chairman and is expected to become an Atari director; Keith Powell, 42, president, and Michael Pastore, 38, senior vice president of operations. The three apparently tendered their resignations from the City of Commerce company Monday.
Garry Tramiel, a son of Atari Chairman Jack Tramiel, has been named president of Federated Group, although it was not immediately clear whether the appointment is temporary. Jack Tramiel, reached at his Sunnyvale office, declined to confirm the resignations or the appointment.
One industry observer said that, while Schwartz's departure was not a surprise, it had been expected that Powell would remain. However, the observer, who asked that he not be identified, criticized the company's management, noting: "Look at how they just handed a beautiful business over to Circuit City. With zero name recognition, Circuit City took over top market share that had been held by Federated Group for many years."

Smart meters trapped between benefits and dangers, claims Forbes
By Jesse Berst
Just when you think it's safe to go back in the water, the smart meter debate has been elevated to the national level by several publications, including Forbes.
Smart meter installations in the United States are expected to progress steadily over the next 10 years. That is because they offer a range of benefits to both utilities and their customers.
Even so, according to Forbes Magazine, smart meter deployments are facing opposition by a small group of activists concerned about several issues, especially data privacy.
"Despite the promise of empowering people through enhanced consumption data... some people are scared and resist the idea of smart metering, citing concerns about meter accuracy, data security, and health," wrote Forbes contributor Federico Guerrini. "Privacy is probably the most sensitive issue: similarly to what happens with phone calls metadata, information about the energy consumption of a family or of an individual, can reveal a lot of details about the life of the persons monitored."
Meanwhile, Bloomberg has just recycled a 2012 report that claimed smart meter data can reveal what you are watching on TV. The research measured the "power signature" of different television programs. Seven movies and two television shows were shown on five different TV sets. The research discovered that each program had a unique pattern based on how much electricity was needed to show its images.
Once the signatures were identified, the researchers could match that information with the data coming from a smart meter.
A lot of money is riding on the debate. Navigant Research estimates the smart metering opportunity represents $57 billion worldwide over the next decade. China is expected to lead with more than 435 million smart meters, with the United States coming in a distant second with roughly 132 million.
Jesse Berst is the founder and Chief Analyst of SGN and Chairman of the Smart Cities Council, an industry coalition.

Clash of Clans gets small update to improve Clan Wars
Earlier today, Supercell pushed live a small update for Clash of Clans aimed at improving the recently implemented Clan Wars. These improvements include a "smoother Clan Wars experience" as well as changes to the maximum time spent in the matchmaking queue.
Below are the patch notes for what has been changed:
- Dark Elixir rounding for war bonus loot is now changed (not rounded down to closest 500 anymore)
- War Loot inside your Clan Castle will now be even more safe!! Optimise when you collect it from there, but remember, Clan Castle can't hold unlimited amount of resources. So if your war loot doesn't fit in when the war ends, you'll miss it!
- The maximum time in clan war matchmaking is reduced to 3 hours (from 24 hours). This means that if no suitable match is found within 3 hours, matchmaking will auto-cancel and you can press again the "start war" button.
- Servers have been pimped up for even smoother Clan Wars experience!
Maintenance has already been completed meaning you should have no problem logging into the game right now. What do you think of Clan Wars so far? Is it everything you had hoped it would be?

|About these ratings
Tony yachts glitter in the marina; seafood restaurants beckon; the iconic red and white lighthouse stands tall in the not-so distance. We're describing Hilton Head's Harbour Town district, of course -- a pocket located inside the island's gated Sea Pines resort community. Here's where you'll find a smattering of gorgeous rental properties, the aforementioned scenery, good food and ambience. Vacationers say that you could easily spend a day exploring the area.
"From the docks, charter a boat, rent a Waverunner or try an adventure cruise," suggests one Virtual Tourist. "Hungry? Eateries range from ice cream shops to upscale restaurants. Various stores sell everything from postcards and T-shirts to unique gifts and artwork." Some of the best shopping opportunities include Planet Hilton Head and the Cinnamon Bear Country Store. For food, we'd recommend The Crazy Crab or The Quarterdeck. Stroll out toward the water after your meal; sunset is particularly enchanting and much of the time there's even live music.
Harbour Town rests in the bottom boot of Hilton Head Island. Visit its page on the Sea Pines Resort website for further details on visiting and activities.

According to Gossip Cop, People will reveal the news on Nov. 20. Of course, People tells the site, "We're not commenting on that right now."
Considering his domination of pop culture between Maroon 5, "The Voice" and his stint on last year's "American Horror Story: Asylum," plus his recent engagement to Behati Prinsloo, Levine is definitely living the high life. Do you think he deserves to be made the Sexiest Man Alive in 2013?

Summer signing Oliver Risser has been named as Swindon's captain for the 2011/12 season.
The 30-year-old Namibia international midfielder penned a two-year deal with the Robins earlier this month following a successful trial at the club.
"I am used to being captain in my career and I am a person who lives my football from inside, I am a passionate person," Risser told the club's official website. "I like to be a leader and I have captained quite a few teams in my career."
His appointment as skipper comes after manager Paolo Di Canio handed him the armband for the first 45 minutes of both of Town's recent pre-season outings in Italy.
Risser missed the club's 4-0 victory at Swindon Supermarine on Tuesday night with a minor injury sustained in training, with Jonathan Smith, Raffaele De Vita, Callum Kennedy and Etienne Esajas getting the goals.
Trialist Esajas was making his latest appearance for the Robins and a decision on his future is expected imminently, with the former Sheffield Wednesday forward expected to be rewarded with a deal at the County Ground.

'The Michael J. Fox Show' Episode 8, 'Bed Bugs': Gov. Chris Christie has his sitcom moment, literallyAdd to Favorites | The Michael J. Fox Show
Who was the mystery guest teased in ads for "The Michael J. Fox Show" as being so top-secret, NBC's legal department supposedly ordered no advance mention?
It actually wasn't such a secret ... at least not to those who have been keeping tabs on the sitcom's casting. Thursday's (Nov. 7) episode "Bed Bugs" revealed the guest in question was newly re-elected New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, whose exact date of appearance on the show had been kept mum until his bid for a second term was complete.
Actually, he wasn't the first interview TV newsman Mike ( Fox) had in the story. First was a cat ... yes, a cat. Harris ( Wendell Pierce) handed the feline to Mike, who lamented not having the big newsmaker interviews he used to do. The boss promised him that for next time, "We'll get you something good."
Guess what or, rather, who that turned out to be? Indeed, it was the leader of the Garden State. Christie didn't show up until more than halfway through the tale, as Mike entered the newsroom completely exhausted, thanks to wife Annie ( Betsy Brandt) and houseguest Leigh ( Katie Finneran) coming in late and loud -- and intoxicated -- the night before.
"I'm so glad to see you back," Christie told Mike, adding as the interview officially began, "I find your story so inspiring. There's been a lot of speculation ... and I feel so inspired, I think I should make an announcement."
Whatever that was going to be, Mike wasn't exactly braced for it: He'd fallen sound asleep in the chair opposite the politician. He was rustled back awake, but the big moment had passed. And thus ended the governor's much-anticipated, ultimately very brief sitcom debut.
What did you think of Gov. Chris Christie's minute on "The Michael J. Fox Show"?

As the fissures in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) appear to deepen, a letter party leader Yogendra Yadav wrote to the party's Political Affairs Committee, giving reasons for his resignation, has caused a storm in the party. In his letter, Yadav questioned the unbridled powers of the party's national convener Arvind Kejriwal and asked "whether there are limits to personal discretion of the leader".
Listing issues that plague the AAP, Yadav pointed to the widespread perception that the AAP, like other parties, was afflicted with "personality cult". "There is no one who doubts that Arvind bhai is the undisputed leader within the party. He has richly earned this stature and we would not be where we are without his leadership. But there is a difference between a leader and a supremo. Love and affection for a leader often turns into a personality cult that can damage an organisation and the leader himself. This is what appears to be happening to our party," he wrote.
"Major decisions of the party appear to, and indeed do, reflect the wishes of one person; when he changes his mind, the party changes its course of action; proximity to the leader comes to substitute for organisational roles and responsibilities. Since all the decisions and successes are credited to one person, all the blame also begins to accumulate at the doors of one person," Yadav wrote.
"Let me reiterate that Arvind bhai is no ordinary leader and there are no two opinions about his continuing as the national convener; nor have I ever doubted his status as first among equals within the party's leadership. The real question is whether there are limits to personal discretion of the leader," he wrote.
It was this letter that prompted party leader Manish Sisodia to write back to Yadav, questioning his behaviour over the past fortnight.
Detailing the decision to quit the PAC, Yadav wrote, "The heart of the matter is the decision-making process within our party. Our party stands for swaraj, for bottom-up, participatory decision making. We do so because we believe that remote decision making by a few powerful people is bad, even if the decision makers are well-intentioned. We seem to have forgotten that basic idea when it comes to decision making within our own party."
"…the course of events in the last fortnight, following the election verdict, took me aback. It seemed that instead of introspection and course correction, we had started moving in the opposite direction. We got distracted from the real challenge and appeared to be diverting public attention. To my mind, we had not lost the election, but we did start losing something more valuable, our sense of direction and rectitude, after …continued »

A watch that originally debuted in 1966 (albeit without the diamonds) has been reincarnated in a diamond encrusted avatar by Girard-Perregaux. The 38mm ladies watch is encrusted with 807 diamonds on its face. While its a far call from the $5 million Hublot (whose each and every atom is diamond encrusted), the timepiece is nevertheless a gorgeous one. Available in options of white or pink gold ; the bezel is set in gems. The dial is slightly curved and completely covered with diamonds.
The Girard-Perregaux has a mechanical movement with automatic winding and a power reserve of 16 hours. The watch boasts of a alligator skin strap and a gem-set ardillon buckle.
A gorgeous beauty, snap up this watch for any of the women in your life, its the perfect gift for any occasion.
"They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price." —

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) March 26, 2013
On March 26, 2013, kettlebell champion Lorna Kleidman releases a statement in response to a Boston.com article by Ryan Healy explaining how to properly do kettlebell swings, and how kettlebell swings can benefit anyone looking for a great workout.
According to the Boston.com Article, kettlebell swings are a dynamic, simple exercise that "develops your conditioning, revs up your metabolism, and increases the strength in your posterior chain, core, and shoulders." However, Healy cautions that while kettlebell swings offer many benefits, exercisers need to execute them properly in order to reap the rewards.
The article provides some basic execution tips to bear in mind when doing kettlebell swings:
Lorna Kleidman, a world champion kettlebell athlete and trainer, offers her input on achieving proper form when exercising. "The kettlebell swing is a pretty basic move, in theory, but its dynamic range of motion means that there are many different ways to execute it – and it's best to have some training from an expert before incorporating the kettlebell as a permanent part of your routine. If you already use kettlebells and your form does not jibe with some of the basic tips offered here, you should consider seeking some professional input. The benefits of the kettlebell swing are great, so getting down the form is key!"
Lorna Kleidman is a three-time World Champion and World Record holder in kettlebell sport and the most decorated kettlebell athlete in the country. She developed the innovative methods used in KettleX as a way to bring the benefits of the bells to everyone in an easy-to-use, comprehensive and fun format. Lorna has been teaching individuals and group classes for the past six years.

There's some good news for fans of Rovio's super popular Angry Birds franchise, with many titles being available for free right now on Windows Phone, Neowin reports.
There's no official info about this, so right now this seems to be a Store error rather than an actual promotion but many Angry Birds games are free at the moment, Neowin says. This includes the new Angry Birds Star Wars 2, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Star Wars 1 and the original game.
So far users from all over the world are reporting this is happening but depending on the location. For example some users aren't seeing Rio as being free, while others are able to download the Space version without paying. Finally there are some that say even Amazing Alex, another Rovio title, is currently free in certain locations.

Fresh reports of cracks found in the aft pressure bulkhead of Boeing 737 Classics may require operators to perform a new battery of inspections.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) first issued an airworthiness directive in 1999 requiring repetitive inspections on the web of the aft pressure bulkhead, one of several cracking hot-spots identified on 737-100/200/300/400/500-series aircraft.
More recently, new "cracks have been found in four general areas" of the same bulkhead, the FAA says in a forthcoming notice of proposed rulemaking.
The four new areas of cracking include the web-to-"Y" chord interface, the outer circumferential tear strap, near the dome cap and the "Z" stiffeners near the dome cap, as described by the FAA's proposal.
The cracks have been discovered on aircraft across a wide spectrum of age and usage, including aircraft with between 21,200 and 68,000 total flight cycles and between 17,500 and 61,000 flight cycles, the FAA says.
After the proposed rulemaking is published on 28 June in the Federal Register, the FAA will receive comments over a 45-day period before deciding whether to issue a new airworthiness directive superceding the 1999 order.

Come on a journey and see where destination Mantra can take you.
Check out Strictly Ballroom, one of the best shows in town
Now playing at the beautiful Sydney Lyric Theatre is the Aussie classic, Strictly Ballroom, and this is one show you won't want to miss.
Originally a film from Baz Luhrmann, the director behind the movie - and other classics such as Moulin Rogue, Australia and the Great Gatsby - has brought Strictly Ballroom to life once again, this time on stage.
Performances of the show have already begun, but fortunately there are still plenty of chances to catch the action, with the show running until July 6.
See some of your favourite lines from the film come to life right before your eyes, or if you're new to the story, discover a whole new world of fun.
"Originally a film from Baz Luhrmann, the director behind the movie - and other classics such as Moulin Rogue, Australia and the Great Gatsby - has brought Strictly Ballroom to life once again, this time on stage.
Lovers of tango and salsa will enjoy the inspiring dance numbers, and viewers are sure to fall in love with the romantic underdog storyline too.
Then there's the stunning soundtrack, which includes 'Time After Time', 'Love Is In The Air' and 'Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps' - songs that never go out of style.
The costumes are just as dazzling as they were in the film, with incredible attention to detail. They sparkle, shimmer and shine throughout the duration of the show, which is approximately two hours and 50 minutes long with a 20 minute interval. Expect the time to fly by in a whir of sequins and sass!
Like the film, the stage production has been met with rave reviews, so you don't want to miss out.
Why not take a break and head to Sydney for a weekend to witness the action? Book your holiday accommodation and pack those bags for a wonderful weekend escape. Mantra on Kent is just a five minute drive, or 15 minute walk, from the Sydney Lyric Theatre, making it a convenient option. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

Water recycling could help fracking companies deal with water shortages
The oil & gas industry has long been facing scrutiny over its consumption of water and how it is sourced. The problem is particularly pressing after the sharp increase in hydraulic fracturing operations in drought-stricken areas like Texas. That is why more and more oil and gas companies are teaming up with companies that recycle water and can clean up waste water from oil fields that can be further used in drilling operations.
According to Jeremy Roberts, yard manager at water recycling company Cobb & Associates, technology allows oil-field water containing salts and dozens of chemical elements to be cleaned and reused over and over again, practically eliminating the need to buy fresh water. Roberts says that estimating how much fresh water is used in operations, as opposed to recycled or brackish water, is nearly impossible because oil and gas companies are required to report the total amount of water used only, not how it is sourced.
Overall, in 2012 companies drilling at the Eagle Ford Shale reported using 14 billion gallons of water. A report released by the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas estimated that the proportion of non-fresh water used by the industry is just over one-fifth, while the rest comes from fresh water sources.
SPONSORED: Pumps, chopping units and entry technology for pumping low to highly viscous and abrasive media
The market is wide open for companies that can treat and recycle water, FuelFix reported. Such technology is widely used in Pennsylvania and the Marcellus Shale, so it is only a matter of time before it becomes mainstream in Texas, where water shortage is already a problem.

Barber's Third Goloid Design, Judd-1559
Barber's Third Goloid Design, Judd-1559
Design. The obverse features a head of Liberty facing left, with E PLURIBUS UNUM above and the date 1878 below. Liberty wears a cap decorated with wheat and cotton, with a band inscribed LIBERTY in incuse letters. Thirteen stars at the sides are arranged in a 7x6 pattern. The reverse displays a circle of 38 stars enclosing the composition at the center, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above and ONE DOLLAR below. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
Commentary. Judd-1559 was William Barber's third goloid dollar design of the year. The circle of 38 stars on the reverse, one for each state in the Union at that time, was suggested by Dr. Wheeler Hubbell, who had patented the goloid alloy for coinage. Andrew Pollock accounted for just five examples of this rare pattern in his series reference, and one of them was held by the J.C. Mitchelson Collection in the Connecticut State Library. USPatterns.com estimates more than half a dozen specimens may be extant. NGC and PCGS have combined to certify seven coins between them, all with the Red and Brown color designation. This coin is the second finest known, behind the incredible PR67 PCGS example that sold for $20,125 in 2010.
Physical Description. The well-preserved surfaces of this spectacular Premium Gem display a mixture of original red, crimson, and light brown patina. The design elements are well-detailed and the fields are brightly reflective, under the toning. Outstanding eye appeal complements the high technical grade. Census: 1 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (3/13).

This feat - a jackdaw pecking milk from a bottle - was considered to be 'anatomically impossible' until vigilant environmental health officers in Gateshead caught some birds in the act in 1989. Since then, collaborative research in the region by an army of researchers - from microbiologists to ornithologists - has established that jackdaws and magpies peck milk bottles and contaminate the milk with campylobacter bacteria carried on their beaks. If people drink the milk they risk campylobacter poisoning, which causes abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting and fever.
Nigel Lightfoot, director of the Regional Health Laboratory in Newcastle upon Tyne, coordinated the detective work. In light of his findings, the Department of Health intends to issue advice to milk traders and consumers, urging them to return pecked bottles to milkmen. Unpecked bottles should be covered - with yoghurt cartons, for example - to thwart the birds.

Mehring's Bearings Presents: Vietnam Outtakes Part 5 of 6.
We stayed in Nha Trang for a few extra days. Partly to keep skating several good spots there and partly because we needed a break from the chaos on the roads. After that city we really only had Ho Chi Minh City to go and that seemed like the end. So maybe we wanted to stay partly because we didn't want it to be over yet.

Influenza (flu) is a viral infection of the nose, throat, windpipe, and bronchi that occurs every winter. The main symptoms are a runny nose, sore throat, and nagging cough. Usually there's more muscle pain, headache, fever, and chills than colds usually cause.
Flu is caused by influenza viruses. Flu viruses change yearly, which is why people can get the flu every year. The virus is spread by sneezing, coughing, and hand contact. It spreads rapidly because the incubation period is only 24 to 36 hours and the virus is very contagious. Thus, the spread of flu is very difficult to prevent.
The treatment of influenza depends on your main symptoms and is no different from the treatment for other viral respiratory infections.
The fever lasts 2 to 3 days, the runny or stuffy nose 1 to 2 weeks, and the cough 2 to 3 weeks.
The influenza vaccine gives protection for 1 year. All healthy children and teens age 6 months to 18 years should get a flu shot. Those with chronic diseases (for example, asthma) need to come in for yearly influenza boosters. Pregnant teens are considered at high risk for complications. Anyone who wants to reduce their chances of getting the flu can get the flu shot. Talk with your healthcare provider or parents if you think you should have flu shots.

Nazca (sometimes spelled Nasca) is the name of a system of valleys on the southern coast of Peru, and the name of the region's largest existing town. It is also the name applied to the Nazca culture that flourished in the area between 300 BC and AD 800. They were responsible for the Nazca Lines and the ceremonial city of Cahuachi; they also constructed an impressive system of underground aqueducts that still function today.
The town of Nazca has recently been dumping its trash on the pampa, destroying some of the Nazca lines in the process. Under President Alberto Ken'ya Fujimori's rule, Nazca received money to turn the irrigation canals into tourist attractions. President Alejandro Toledo, whose partner is an anthropologist, stopped the aid.
Since 1997, Nazca has been the location of a major Canadian gold mining operation. The people who were living on the land for the previous 2000 years did not have title to the land so they were displaced without legal problems. Since then there have been some attempts to legalize poor citizens' ownership of their land and their fixed property, in response to Hernando de Soto's research on the poor.

LEPLEY BACK TO LEAD HOLY CROSS: After missing the first nine games of the year due to a pre-season injury, senior forward Amy Lepley (Norfolk, Mass.) has jumped right back into the Holy Cross starting lineup and has performed well. Through six games this season, Lepley averages 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest. In her first game of the season versus Bryant, Lepley shot a perfect 7 of 7 from and field and 2 of 2 from the foul line for 16 total points. She registered her eighth career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds versus Dartmouth. In the game versus Fordham, Lepley became the 28th player in Holy Cross history to score 1,000 career points. The 2011-2012 second team All-Patriot League player averaged a team-best 13.4 and 6.4 rebounds per contest a season ago and was selected to the 2012-2013 Preseason All-Patriot League team.
1,000 POINTS MILESTONE IN REACH FOR PAIR: On Jan. 6 versus Fordham, Amy Lepley became the 28th Holy Cross women's basketball player to cross the 1,000 career points milestone. She currently has 1,016 total points during her four seasons at Holy Cross, which ranks her 25th on the all-time scoring list. Lepley also became the 75th player in the 23-year history of the Patriot League to score 1,000 points in a career. Meanwhile, Alex Smith is 36 points away from the same milestone and would be the 11th Crusader to reach the achievement during their junior season. Both Lepley and Smith have a chance to break into the top-20 on the Holy Cross all-time scoring list by season's end.
MALONE PLAYS KEY MINUTES IN BACKCOURT: Junior guard Brisje Malone (Springfield, Mass.) has done well this season both offensively and defensively for Holy Cross. Through 15 games, Malone is second on the team with 32.2 minutes played per contest and averages 9.5 points, 4.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game. Her assists mark is first in the Patriot League. She is fourth in the conference with a 1.3 assist/turnover ratio and is sixth with 1.6 steals. In the season opener versus Yale, Malone scored a career-high 23 points. She also hit the buzzer-beating bucket to lift Holy Cross over Central Connecticut as she posted a season-best nine assists. Malone tied her season best with nine helpers versus Brown. During the 2011-12 campaign, Malone played in all 34 games in and started in all but one. She averaged 8.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in just under 30 minutes per contest.
GANSER STEPPING INTO STARTING ROLE: Junior forward Christine Ganser (Needham, Mass.) has filled in nicely for the Crusaders starting lineup. Through 15 games, she is fourth on the team with 9.2 points per contest and leads the squad with an average of 5.8 rebounds (11th in the Patriot League). Ganser notched her second career double-double with a 17 point and 10 rebound effort versus Fordham. She also posted a season-high 17 points and hauled in seven rebounds against Harvard and 16 points and six rebounds in the win over UMass. Ganser ranks second in the Patriot League with a .481 field-goal percentage and sixth with 2.7 offensive boards per game. In 2011-2012, she averaged 19.5 minutes of playing time and put up totals of 6.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. Ganser also performed well from the charity stripe last year as she converted on 76.5 percent of her free throws, which was second best on the team.
SCOTT LEARNING QUICKLY FOR CRUSADERS: Freshman forward Raquel Scott (Ridgewood, N.J.) has begun her first collegiate season as a key contributor for Holy Cross. In the first 15 games, Scott averages 6.0 points and has 5.1 rebounds per contest. Her rebounds mark ranks 12th in the Patriot League. In her first start versus New Hampshire, Scott posted 14 points, five rebounds, four assists and a pair of steals in 36 minutes of action. Her best game of the season came at Manhattan, as the freshman recorded the first Crusaders double-double of the season with a 10 point and 12 rebound effort with six offensive boards. She also scored 11 points in the win over Brown. Scott has started in 12 of the 15 games this season for Holy Cross.
PARKER WORKING HARD IN THE POST: Sophomore forward Emily Parker (Johnston, Iowa) has been a strong presence in the frontcourt for the Crusaders this season. So far this season, Parker is fifth on the squad with 8.3 points, tied for second with 5.5 rebounds and first with 1.0 blocks per contest. She scored a season-best 18 points versus Yale in the season opener as she grabbed seven rebounds in the game against Boston College. In the win over Manhattan, Parker tallied nine points and a season-best nine rebounds. Parker is coming off a solid freshman campaign in which she took home Patriot League All-Rookie team accolades in 2011-2012. Last year, the 6'2" Parker played the number five position on the floor for the Crusaders as she appeared in 32 contests, starting in 31 of them. A season ago, she averaged 10.1 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, while also blocking a team-best 38 shots. Her points mark was third on the squad, while her rebound average was second.
HAMNER ON THE COMEBACK TRAIL: After missing the first six games of the season due to injury, junior guard Kelly Hamner (Manassas ,Va.) has slowly worked herself back into the Crusaders playing rotation. In the game versus Manhattan on Dec. 1, Hamner saw five minutes of action as she scored two points. On Dec. 5 against Northeastern, she played 16 minutes off the bench and scored four points to go along with career-bests four assists and six rebounds. This season, Hamner is averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per contest. In 2011-12, Hamner saw 16.4 minutes of playing time per game and averaged 3.0 points and 2.6 rebounds.
COOPER BACK FROM INJURY: Sophomore guard Ashley Cooper (Colts Neck, N.J.) saw her first action of the season versus Bethune-Cookman. The long-range sharpshooter connected on her first three shots from behind the arc, as she was the second leading HC scorer with 13 points in 18 minutes of action. She also drilled a pair of treys in the win over Dartmouth. Through four games, Cooper is averaging 6.5 points and is 6 of 16 (.375%) from behind the arc in 18.3 minutes per contest. Last season, Cooper averaged 3.0 points per game and hit 23 of 68 of her shots from downtown (.338%) in 13.5 minutes per contest.
HOURIGAN COMING UP BIG FOR CRUSADERS: Freshman center Molly Hourigan (Memphis, N.Y.) has seen in increase in minutes over the last five games and has shown she can be a strong presence in the paint for Holy Cross. In only 11 minutes of action versus Bethune-Cookman, Hourigan grabbed a game-high eight rebounds. During the following matchup versus Dartmouth, she scored a season-best 10 points, while she hauled in six boards in 19 minutes of action. For the season, she has posted 2.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.5 minutes per game. Her blocks total is ranked 10th in the Patriot League.
FRESHMAN FRENZY: Holy Cross adds five new faces to this year's team with a large freshman class. Guards Lisa Mifsud (Erie, Pa.), Kate Gillespie (Washington, D.C.) and Jenn Walsh (Dallas, Texas) all were league champions for their respective high schools. Gillespie was also named Washington D.C. Gatorade girls basketball player of the year as a senior. In the front court, Raquel Scott and Molly Hourigan add size to an already tall front line. The 6'0" Scott comes from Immaculate Heart Academy, while the 6'4" Hourigan is the team's only center and is from Jordan-Elbridge. All five freshmen have seen action this season. Mifsud is averaging 3.3 points in 17.2 minutes per contest as she scored 11 points twice this season, versus Yale and Quinnipiac. Gillespie has made two starts for the Crusaders and averages 5.0 minutes per game.
OFF THE BENCH: With some early season injuries, many bench players have stepped up for the Crusaders. Senior forward Kaitlin Cole (Springfield, Pa.) has been a spark on the defensive side of the ball as she averages 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 9.6 minutes per game. In the Yale game, Cole posted career-highs with six rebounds and four steals, while versus Boston College, she also added a career-best three assists. She registered a career-high 28 minutes of action versus UMass to go along with four swipes. Sophomore forward Clare Sullivan (Belmont, Mass.) has averaged 8.1 minutes per contest with 3.4 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. In the game versus Central Connecticut, Sullivan scored 13 points in the first half on six-of-six shooting, which was a career-high. She also connected on her first collegiate three-pointer in the game versus the Blue Devils. Sullivan made her first career start versus Manhattan and scored six points. Senior guard Alexis Nicholas (Jamaica, N.Y.) has seen an average of 2.6 minutes of playing time this season and connected on her first collegiate three-pointer versus Brown.
BROWN RECAP: Holy Cross junior guard Alex Smith tallied a game-best 20 points, including six three-pointers, to help lead the Crusaders to an 83-66 triumph over Brown at the Hart Center on Tuesday, Jan. 8. With the win, Holy Cross concludes its non-conference schedule with an 8-7 record overall, while the Bears slip to 5-8 on the season. Brown began the contest with strong shooting from behind the arc, as it went ahead 12-2 at the 16:25 mark of the first half. The Crusaders countered and went on a 10-3 spurt to cut the deficit to 15-12 (13:54), as Smith hit a pair of threes during the run. Brown was able to push the margin to six points (18-12), as it connected on its sixth trey of the contest at the 13:24 mark. The Bears maintained the now 26-20 advantage (9:39), before a three-pointer by freshman Lisa Mifsud and a layup plus a foul shot by junior Brisje Malone knotted the score at 26-26 with 8:13 on the clock. With the score still tied (31-31) at the 5:10 mark, the Crusaders closed the half on an 8-1 run to head into the locker room with the 39-32 lead. Holy Cross kept up the pressure after the intermission as it exploded on a 9-0 rally over the first 2:34 of the second half, with Malone scoring five points to put HC on top 48-32. Brown ended the scoring drought over the next few minutes, but back-to-back threes by Smith gave the Crusaders the 55-37 lead with 14:34 on the clock. Brown cut into the deficit with a 7-0 push, to close the gap to 11 points (55-44) at 12:46, but a 10-0 scoring surge by Holy Cross over the next three minutes gave them a comfortable 65-44 lead. Freshman Raquel Scott scored four points for HC during the run. The Crusaders worked the lead to their biggest margin (23 points) on two occasions over the final nine minutes of the contest, including the 80-57 lead with 4:24 on the clock, as the Bears ended the game on a 9-3 run to result in the 83-66 final score. In addition to Smith, senior Amy Lepley posted 13 points, five rebounds and five assists. Malone finished with nine points, a game-best nine assists, and four rebounds, while Scott had 11 points. Sophomore Clare Sullivan had nine points off the bench for the Crusaders. Brown junior guard Lauren Clarke had 14 points and seven assists to lead the Bears. Both teams shot well for the game, as Holy Cross connected on 28 of its 61 shots (45.9 percent) and Brown hit 44.8 percent of its shots (26 of 58). Equally, both teams had good performances from behind the arc, as they combined for 53 attempts from downtown. Holy Cross hit 10 of its 25 three-pointers (40.0 percent), while the Bears converted on 35.7 percent of their treys (35.7 percent). The Crusaders hit 77.3 percent of their shots from the charity stripe (17 of 22). Holy Cross held advantages in rebounds (43-26), assists (24-19), points off turnovers (23-9) and fast break points (14-2).
SCORING TRENDS: During the 2012-2013 season, Holy Cross has boasted strong records based on scoring trends. In games where its opponents score less than 60 points, Holy Cross is a perfect 5-0. Also, the Crusaders are 7-3 when they score 60 points or more this season. Lastly, when the Crusaders enter the second half with the lead, they have an overall record of 6-1.
HELP ME HELP YOU: Last season, Holy Cross was ranked ninth in the country and first in the Patriot League with 16.9 assists per contest and that largely had to do with junior guards Alex Smith and Brisje Malone. In 2012-2013, the pair has combined for 120 of Holy Cross' 232 assists with a combined average of 8.0 per game. Malone is first in the Patriot League with 4.4 assists per game, while Smith is just behind her in third place with 3.6 helpers per contest. In the game versus Central Connecticut, the pair combined for 14 assists on the team's 22 made field goals.
"SMITH"-SONIAN LEAVING MARK IN RECORD BOOK: Alex Smith is marking her name all over the Holy Cross career record books with her phenomenal play. The junior is now second on the list with 214 three-pointers made, trailing only Bethany O'Dell, who had 277. Her three-pointers converted mark is sixth best in Patriot League history. She is also third with 568 three-pointers attempted, trailing Briana McFadden (579) and O'Dell (700). Smith ranks 11th in career assists with 339 and would move into the top-10 with two more assists. She is currently fifth on the list with a .377 three-point percentage. In 2011-2012, Smith set Holy Cross records for most minutes played in a season (1199), most games started and played (34) and most three-pointers attempted (229).
HOLY CROSS' HIGH OCTANE OFFENSE: The Crusaders are coming off one of their best offensive seasons in recent years, as the team led the Patriot League in many shooting categories. This season, Holy Cross has continued its offensive success as it ranks second in the Patriot League with 62.1 points per game and first with a .421 field-goal percentage. In the season opener versus Yale, the Crusaders scored 87 points, which were the most points scored in an opening game since the 1988-1989 season. In the game versus Brown, the Crusaders scored 83 points as they shot 46 percent from the floor.
CRUSADERS PICKED THIRD IN PRESEASON POLL: Holy Cross was picked to finish third in the 2012-2013 Patriot League preseason poll, receiving 70 points and one first place vote. Navy was chosen to finish first, receiving eight first-place votes as junior Jade Geif was voted preseason Patriot League Player of the Year. The Mids earned a league-high 89 points and was followed by American, who received six first place votes and 85 points. Army was picked fourth with 66 points and one first place vote, while Lehigh (58 points) and Lafayette (30 points) were selected fifth and sixth, respectively. Bucknell and Colgate tied for seventh in the poll with 25 points each.
LEPLEY AND SMITH NAMED 2012-2013 TEAM CAPTAINS: The two leading scorers for the Crusaders last year, Amy Lepley and Alex Smith were named captains for the 2012-2013 season. Smith is coming off first-team All-Patriot League honors last year as she started in all 34 games. She averaged 12.5 points, 5.5 assists and 2.1 steals per contest. Her assist mark was tops in the Patriot League, while her points average was fifth. Lepley was named to the second-team All-Patriot League a season ago as she led the Crusaders with 13.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest. Her points-per-game average was third in the Patriot League, while her field goal percentage of 0.499 was also third-best. In addition, both players were also selected to the 2012-2013 preseason All-Patriot League.
CAPTAINS NAMED TO PRESEASON ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE TEAM: After coming off great campaigns a season ago, Lepley and Smith were chosen to the preseason All-Patriot League team in a vote by conference sports information directors and head coaches. The duo joins the team with Army senior forward Anna Simmers, and two juniors, American's Alexis Dobbs and Navy's Jade Geif. Lepley and Smith were key contributors to last-year's Patriot League runner-up finish as they started in all 34 games for the Crusaders. Also, the pair was selected to the Patriot League All-Tournament team last year.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS: The Crusaders are approaching this season with the theme of "unfinished business," as it is looking to capture the Patriot League crown for the 12th time in the program's history. Last season, the Crusaders made it to the Patriot League championship game for the first time since 2008, after knocking off top-seeded American in the semifinals. However, the team fell to Navy in the title game, 57-48, one win shy of going to the NCAA Tournament. The goal is to get back into the Patriot League Championship game and claim their first NCAA tournament automatic bid since the 2006-2007 season.
HOLY CROSS IN THE NCAA STATISTICS: The Crusaders are currently ranked in the top 150 in the NCAA Division I leaders in five statistical categories. In addition, Alex Smith and Brisje Malone are in the top 150 in the nation in three individual statistics as well. The rankings through games on Jan 6:

May 14, 2013
So, you feel sluggish lately.
You're addicted to coffee (and sugar and wine), and you can't seem to kick those dark circles under your eyes. You're looking to jumpstart a return to clean eating, restored energy and better digestion, and nothing sounds better than a light, restorative juice cleanse. But should you do it?
If you're thoughtful about the juice you choose, and you're aware of what your body-type needs, then your answer is a resounding yes. You will emerge from a juice cleanse feeling restored, your palate will mostly re-set, and many cravings and addictions will fall to the side.
Yet, to enjoy the rejuvenating benefits of a juice cleanse, the single most important thing you must do is prepare your mind, body and life.
Your Mind
Check in: why exactly are you doing this juice cleanse? While the juice will definitely flush your body with vitality-promoting micronutrients, phytonutrients and antioxidants, it will not change your relationship with your body or weight, and it won't change your beliefs about food.
It is heartbreaking when people use juice cleansing as a binge/fast mechanism or as a vehicle to perpetuate self loathing. A juice cleanse is not punishment for poor eating, nor is it a magic pill for health. If you have a testy relationship with food or your body, dig deeper and seek professional guidance.
Your Body
Many toxins—heavy metals, pesticides, alcohol, pollution—are fat soluble and stored in your body's fat reserves. During a cleanse, your body uses adipose tissue (i.e. fat) to fuel itself. Thus, these toxins are dislodged from storage and enter your bloodstream as free radicals. Yes, you become MORE toxic initially in order to detox!
We'll explore the mechanics of cleansing in the next post, but for now it's important to note that without dietary preparation, you may experience some unpleasant symptoms from the newly free toxins in your body: headaches, fatigue, nausea, heat waves, and/or diarrhea.
These symptoms are no bueno, as they interfere with your day-to-day living, and they place extreme stress on your body. Luckily, simple changes to your diet pre-cleanse will ease the stress and prevent symptoms when it's time to juice. Three days prior to your juice cleanse, be sure to do the following:
Your Life
I hate to break this to you, but most friends and family will not support you while you cleanse. Your peers don't want to worry about food, they question the benefits of a juice cleanse, and they really want you to join them for that margarita after work!
Moreover, a juice cleanse is kind of a big deal to your body. Recall that your body is already under lots of stress cleansing toxins! So, while cleansing it's best to limit high-intensity workouts and super-active days. Your body needs space to restore and eliminate.
Strategize your life and prioritize your cleanse for success. Look at your calendar and clear any social obligations that involve eating out or drinking. Plan for a day off of work or a mini-getaway to a relaxing place, and plan for lighter exercise—such as walking, hatha yoga or a light jog.
You're Ready!
A juice cleanse is an opportunity for self love and nourishment. It is recognizing that you have aches, pains and addictions, and it is taking proactive steps to heal. Detoxifying isn't that pleasant, and it can be quite challenging. But, with proper preparation, your results can be life changing.
JuiceBox and I are coordinating a Community Cleanse in Seattle this July. This exclusive program will have limited space, and it will involve one-on-one nutrition guidance and daily engagement. We will help you prepare, adjust for your body-type and lifestyle, and help you to disengage safely.

Hand made to your specified length. 12.50 for custom lengths to 3.5ft, 15.00 for lengths 4 to 6 ft. Prices are plus shipping (couple bucks in the US but will ship anywhere). For the 450/950 rigs this works on the tuner plug and for the 2K they work for the band data jack. They provide a PTT to ground for keying an amp. Each cable is made from shielded cable and is tested on my 450AT and Dentron AMP before shipping . PayPal Preferred with NO EXTRA FEES. I don't think I should punish you for my convenience. This is around half of what they are asking on that auction site and IT WILL BE TESTED. Please specify length when ordering.

How to Clean Up Honey
Are you tired of having sticky messes whenever you have finished using the honey? Sick of seeing honey residue and jar rings on your shelves? Fed up with it dripping all over the jar, counter top, and anywhere else? Time to get cleaning and removing that honey before the ants come-a-calling!
1Avoid wiping it with water first. Doing so will only smear it more.Ad
2Get some 409. If you don't have that, you can substitute it with a powerful cleaning product. Spray it directly on the honey mess (not directly on the honey you will be eating!).
3Wait for at least 2 minutes. Take a scraper and it should get most the bulk off.
4Repeat. Repeat until the honey is removed.
5Wipe off. Use a clean cleaning cloth to wipe down and finish the job.Ad
We could really use your help!
