Southern Idaho claims record 10th volleyball championshipNovember 17, 2012
Top-seeded College of Southern Idaho cruised to a 25-20, 25-21, 25-20 sweep of No. 2 seed Western Nebraska CC to win their 10th NJCAA volleyball national championship.
The Southern Idaho defense – led by 16 digs from sophomore libero Heather Meeuwsen – smothered the Cougars' attack, holding Western Nebraska to a .095 hitting percentage. Sophomore middle blocker Eseta Maka anchored the Golden Eagles' defense inside with a team-high nine blocks. Southern Idaho was led by sophomore outside hitter Keani Passi's double-double performance that included 12 kills and 12 digs.
The tournament got off to a rocky start for the Golden Eagles after losing their opening set to No. 16 seed Faulkner State CC (Ala.). Southern Idaho quickly rebounded to take the first round match 21-25, 25-22, 25-16, 25-19. The Golden Eagles settled in during their second match, pummeling No. 8 seed Hillsborough CC (Fla.) in a 25-16, 25-11, 25-20 sweep. Facing No. 4 seed San Jacinto-Central (Texas) in the semifinals, Southern Idaho pulled out a 25-23, 27-25, 14-25, 25-20 victory.
Claiming their 10th volleyball title in program history, the Golden Eagles lifted the national championship trophy for the first time since 2009. College of Southern Idaho has established itself as the premier volleyball program in the NJCAA, claiming more championships than any other school. Miami Dade College (Fla.) ranks second with eight national titles.
The Golden Eagles boast a 33-1 record following this championship season. Southern Idaho's only defeat in 2012 came at the hands of Western Nebraska on Aug. 31. The Golden Eagles won their last 29 matches on their way to the title.
Western Nebraska winds up with a 40-3 record to end the 2012 season.

You cannot fight the enemy with a complacent spirit.
A passive attitude will not conquer and possess.
You cannot fight the enemy with negative attitudes like: I cannot face this problem, I am ruined, I cannot recover again, the doctor's report says I cannot be healed, I have no future, I am too old, or my marriage is destroyed.
Instead, claim God's promises and chase the enemy away.
Leviticus 20:24 says, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey!"
Whether you have problems with your career, future, marriage, kids, health or finances, fight the enemy that comes against your ministry, church, family and friends through hard prayer.
Conquer the evil forces.
Many people blame God for their failures and miseries. Stop complaining against God, stop playing with the devil and start walking with God.
Ways to count your blessings and conquer failures are as follows.
•Obey the Lord's commandments diligently.
Sorry, there's no alternative, short route. It is not enough to wear a cross around your neck and hear or read His commandments. Blessings are promised for those who put the gospel into action.
You may be highly qualified, you may have a thousand medals and certificates, you may be sitting in the best country with a plum job. All this amounts to nothing without the knowledge of God and the Bible. Read Deuteronomy 4:6.
When you lack Biblical knowledge, you are bound to make mistakes, so beware. Proverbs 2:6 says, "For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding."
•Accept that disobedience brings failures.
Moses did not get to see the Promised Land because he disobeyed God by not speaking to the mountain.
What do we learn from this? Obeying God in small and big matters will bring blessings.
•Flee from idol worship.
Deuteronomy 4:23 says, "Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you."
•Do what is right and good to possess the land and your enemies will be cast down.
Deuteronomy 6:18-19 says, "And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers, to cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken."
You must first remove the mess before you begin to possess the land. Don't you clean your home before you occupy it? Throw away other kinds of trash to usher in God's blessings.
Remove the following from your life:
•Unwanted Facebook or mobile phone contacts.
•Unwanted mail from strangers and illicit relationships.
•Pirated software from your computer.
•Clothes from your wardrobe that make you look cheap and unclean.
•Anger, vengeance and the inability to forgive others.
The items on this list would just hinder your progress.
The Rev. Albert Corey is pastor at Oak Ridge Assembly of God in Crestview.

What began with a single silk blouse quickly evolved into Tucker: fashion designer Gaby Basora's widely beloved collection of breezy and bohemian dresses, pants, tunics, and other women's clothing essentials. In 2005, Basora made herself a pretty button-down blouse with three-quarter-length sleeves and a shirred neckline. Within months, she'd received her first department store order, but still hadn't found the right name for her budding designer womenswear collection. One night, the word "Tucker" came to her in a dream, and the rest is history. Today Basora offers everything from blazers to lingerie — but it's the blouse, with its "part poet/part Ukrainian folk dancer" aesthetic, as Basora describes it, that has turned celebrities such as Drew Barrymore, Whitney Port and Cameron Diaz into Tucker fans.
Reimagine your workweek repertoire with cropped trousers, pleated dresses, and more sharply tailored separates.
Sleek jeans, strappy heels, and more, saturated in the hottest hue of the moment.
Hyper-stylish pieces inspired by industry trendsetters.
Up the visual impact with striking patterns from right-now brands we love.

By Damian from USA on 2011-06-24 06:21:26Things I liked:This gun is the same weight and size as my LAR Grizzly AR-15, which will make it an excellent training tool when simulating tactics. Just about all of the features on the gun are the same as my firearm as well: the action is the same, the charging handle works, the adjustable stock the same, and just about everything about this gun simulates my real AR-15 perfectly.
Things I would have changed:Not a whole lot really, I think it could possibly be cheaper, but that's only a minor concern. The accuracy is pretty good out to about 110 ft or so, and reasonable to 120-130

The Bridge Between Inspection and Testing: A Cost Effective Solution to Roller Bearing Stress Analysis

The opportunities associated with the global supply chain of rolling element bearings has OEM sourcing specialists and design engineers searching for the best practice to evaluate and qualify new bearing suppliers. Historical qualification procedures involving only field testing have given way to the addition of bearing inspection and a variety of lab tests to reduce qualification lead times, acceptance cost and product risk, but there is still an additional step. The incorporation of a basic stress analysis after bearing inspection and before product testing can provide quick and low cost information to determine the net effect that manufacturing design and quality of workmanship have on contact stress. A basic analysis can be performed without complex modeling allowing the design engineer to determine if further dynamic testing is justifiable. This webinar will review the inspection characteristics needed to conduct a basic stress analysis. We'll then look at raceway and roller contact stress under different operating conditions and determine the influence that design or manufacturing quality have on contact stress. A stress analysis at this step can lead to supplier discussions about improved design and manufacturing quality, offsetting poor performance during dynamic life test validation.
Speaker Biographies
Chris Napoleon founded Napoleon Engineering Services in 1997, after several years in the aerospace bearing industry, with a clear vision and passion for increasing bearing knowledge and performance throughout all industries. With the increase in the global supply chain for bearings Chris saw a need for companies to reduce risk when sourcing product and developed our Inspection and Testing departments. Today, under Chris' guidance, NES has become the largest independent bearing testing and inspection facility in the United States.
Chris has devoted the past 16 years of his career to providing bearing qualification solutions to design engineers and corporate supply planners through extensive and unique forms of bearing testing and inspection. The programs he has developed have helped hundreds of large OEMs make informed decisions about the global supply chain and improved bearing performance in their applications.
The highlight of Napoleon Engineering Services inspection program is the Source Qualification Inspection (SQI) program, a unique service which provides a comparison between multiple bearing suppliers. Chris has developed this program which determines the design intentions, manufacturing quality, material integrity, and overall quality of workmanship, opening the world of bearing design for non-bearing engineers.
Napoleon Engineering Services has seen outstanding growth in its 16 years of development under Chris, with the company recently settling into its state of the art 20,000 sq ft facility which was completed at the beginning of the year. Under Chris' direction and leadership Napoleon Engineering Services continues to strive in all three aspects of the business; Bearing Inspection, Bearing Testing, and Custom Bearing Manufacturing and looks forward to future growth in the years to come.
Colby Austin A graduate Mechanical Engineer, Colby has worked within NES' bearing testing department as a design engineer, bearing engineer and now as the technical business manager for bearing inspection and bearing testing. He has a developed a keen understanding of the importance of identifying the customer's need for testing and developing an inspection and test plan to satisfy that need. He has been instrumental in the development of statistical techniques to evaluate bearing test results and is instrumental is the design of custom bearing test rigs for both NES and customer use.

On Saturday, Dec. 19 from The Pearl at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV, lightweight title contender Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone will take on striker extraordinaire Ed Ratcliff, while in the co-main event, Muay Thai sensation Anthony Njokuani battles former IFL star Chris Horodecki. When the smoke clears on Dec. 19, the world may know who is next in line for a crack at the WEC lightweight champion.
"Four of our top lightweights are going to be competing on Dec. 19, each with his sights set on securing a coveted shot at the world title," WEC GM Reed Harris said. "Cerrone vs. Ratcliff has the potential to be an explosive standup war. We can expect much of the same from Njokuani and Horodecki as well. This is the perfect holiday gift for fans."
In addition to the lightweight fights, two of the worlds top 10 bantamweights will be in action. In an interesting clash of styles, submission ace Rani Yahya will lock horns with the speedy Joseph Benavidez.

Watched some of these fights with no audio, so I'm not 100% sure which fight was which. Best guesses:
Mizugaki Vs. Jorgensen
Spoiler:Jorgensen had good (and numerous) takedowns, but Mizugaki did a pretty good job of scrambling.
Benavidez Vs. Yahya
Spoiler:I usually try to take the ref's side on questionable stoppages, but this was a really early stoppage. Dude got knocked down but was still conscious (head didn't hit the mat), then slipped the follow-up punch. Unfortunately the ref was directly behind the puncher and couldn't tell.
Njokuani Vs. Horodecki
Spoiler:Horodecki has permanently made Njokuani's highlight reel. Do not turn your back on an opponent.
Thumbs up!

Style: JKD, Jiu Jitsu--
I'd have paid to watch this card. Cerrone has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and Njokuani impressed the hell out of me. Thank you VS. for some of the best free fights I've seen in some time. and LOL at Horocecki getting his head smashed in with his back turned. Dummy.
Why don't these guys get more press? The fights are action packed, the guys get gassed WAY less than their larger counterparts, and the skill level of these fighters is comparable to nearly any other organization.

I think it would be cool if SK would write a story that takes place in the time of the Old People and the heyday of North Central Positronics. Has he ever mentioned anything about the possibility of doing that?
Also, if anyone with access to him reads this, consider this an enthusiastic request! I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd pass this on to him

Review: mophie Juice Pack Battery Pack/Case for (original) iPhone
In the years before iPhone, my smartphones had replaceable batteries and I usually carried a spare, especially on trips. Inexplicably, the iPhone doesn't afford this "luxury" -- the battery is not user-replaceable and when it's dead, it's dead. If you don't have a charger handy, you are out of luck. This can be particularly frustrating if you are taking a long flight, want to watch a movie on your iPhone's expansive screen, and still have enough juice left to call someone when you get to your destination.
Enter the mophie Juice Pack Battery Pack/Case for iPhone, available now at TiPB store for $99.95. Read on for the full review!
First Impressions
The mophie Juice Pack arrives sealed in an entertaining package. It's worth a look and a read, front and back, before opening it up and using the Juice Pack. Conveniently, the Juice Pack arrives fully charged and ready to use.
The inside part of the sled is a vibrant green rubberized finish, formed to accommodate the original iPhone (sorry, the 3G is incompatible). The rubberized sides are formed in a curve to wrap around the sides of your iPhone to hold it securely in place when your iPhone is seated. The back of the Juice Pack is black with the same rubberized finish, including a handy four-light LED indicator so you can check the power level.
The sides of the Juice Pack have slightly-raised rubber side-rails for an extra-grippy feel so you can hold it securely. A connector is located at the bottom for attaching your iPhone charger. You can charge the Juice Pack with or without the iPhone in place. Additionally, there is a "cutout" to accommodate the camera of your iPhone when the Juice Pack is in place.
To attach your iPhone, just slide your iPhone in from the top so the bottom connector fits into place, and you are ready to use the power from the Juice Pack.
The mophie Juice Pack is advertised as doubling your power. The product specifications are as follows:
- Standby Time - Up to additional 250 hours
- Audio Playback - Up to additional 24 hours
- Talk Time - Up to additional 8 hours
- Video Playback - Up to additional 7 hours
- Internet Use - Up to additional 6 hours
- Doubled battery life
- Soft-touch finish
- "Smart" - iPhone uses Juice Pack power first
- Must remove iPhone's case before use
- Offers only average protection

Review: mophie Juice Pack Battery Pack/Case for (original) iPhone
sounds like a nice product but the price is a killer
This is an emergency pack for the iPhone 3G. $18 free p&p, nowhere near as powerful as above but cheap and cheerful
actually there are a couple of good items for the iPhone on here well cheap (as well as for the NDS, PS3, etc).
If you ahve not tried them before, give them a go, I've used them for a couple of years now with no worrieshttp://www.dealextreme.com/default.dx/r.55388914
iPhone External Battery
Around the time of MacWorld 2008, I heard that a company named FastMac was going to be selling an external battery for the iPhone. Since most afternoons I found my iPhone battery dropping below 20%, this sounded like the perfect solution for me.
After visiting the FastMac site and reading "FastMac gives you more power for less money than any other company. And we stand behind our products 100%. With our one to three year warranties and our excellent customer support, we're committed to giving you the best value and service you can't find anywhere else." On the strength of that statement, on 12 February I placed my order for a $79.95 iV Battery Charger for iPhone ($94.30 with tax & shipping).
On 13 February my order status changed from new to processing and on 3 March the status changed to backordered. Later in March, I spoke to a FastMac representative on the phone who explained that they were having quality problems with the product and a redesign for compatibility with the 3G phone, but expected these issues to be resolved shortly.
On 1 April I received an email that said Pre-orders will begin shipping in mid May. Then on 7 May I received an email that said It looks like the IV will be shipping by the end of the month. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
May and June came and went with no further contact from FastMac so I revisited the FastMac web site which now said Pre-order now! Shipping in limited quantities on June 10, in volume by July 10 Note: Our 1st run is sold out, additional units are expected by July 10th. Hmm. That seemed suspicious. Were there really that many people that placed orders before me?
On July 14th I received an email that said Your IV will be shipping in approx. 10 days. Please contact me if you have further questions. Then on July 18th I received another email that said Your FastMac TruePower iV iPhone battery backup will ship out within one week - that is just seven days. Within that time, please look in your email for a shipping confirmation and we went ahead and upgraded your shipping to priority!
Well I never received a shipping confirmation, but on 22 July I noted that my credit card was billed. I considered that a good sign. Certainly a company like FastMac wouldn't bill the credit card company for merchandise they hadn't shipped, or would they?
On 26 July I tried calling the FastMac customer support number but it was a Saturday and there was no answer. I then tried sending an email to three email addresses I had for FastMac contacts, and all three messages bounced back.
On Monday, 28 July at 10 AM I spoke on the phone to a FastMac representative who said Oh yes, we have the batteries in hand, are in the process of boxing them up and they should go out no later than Thursday
By now I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but come Friday 1 August I still had heard nothing so at 9:52 AM I sent FastMac a message simply stating Please advise order status and provide tracking number At 12:39 I received a reply from FastMac stating We are in the process of shipping units out. I was not able to find your invoice to provide you with details. Do you have the invoice number? The f…ing subject line of the email included the invoice number, but I replied anyway with the order number, billing date and every other detail I thought they might need. This was the last time I heard from FastMac.
By comparison, I found an iPhone battery at www.richardsolo.com, placed my order on 30 July, it was shipped on 31 July and delivered to my home on 2 August.
I'm anxiously holding on until Sept, when the Mophie website says the Juice Pack for 3G will be available.
Woops, somehow I left some comments about the juice pack on the wrong review... Here they are posted again in the right place.
August 3rd, 2008 at 3:01 pm
The new mophie juice pack 3g should be out in september. A few days ago I was browsing the mophie website and saw they had the new juice pack 3g on the site with some pictures and available for preorder. I couldn't actually create a preorder because you couldn't select the color.
I created a blog on this with the pictures if you are interested in checking it out: http://whenwillapple.com/saywhy/2008/07/30/mophie-juice-pack-3g-preorder/
August 3rd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Right after leaving my last comment I decided to go back to mophie website and the pre-order page is back up again. I just ordered mine so hopefully it won't be too much longer before I have it in hand :)
Thank you for the review. I do have a quick question you could answer. Does the Mophie charge the internal iPhone battery? So if I have a half drained internal battery and connect the Mophie, will it trickle charge the internal battery?
Thanks, Robert
Mophie Juice Pack 3g shipping October 1st!
I was looking for some computer gadgets that I can give as a birthday gift for a 25 old girl. Do you have any idea what to purchase
Hi GinaDirect Bikes says that Bennett is a good site for insurance. I'm not sure how much it is, and I don't think they give you the quote online.I'm also 16 and in the process of getting a license and moped… I'm not sure if my parents are nice enough to pay the insurance cause I don't think I can handle that, but let me know what the quote is so I can have a ballpark figure.Phoebe

The Pioneer Woman's Fig-Prosciutto Pizza with Arugula
"My kids refuse to eat anything but pepperoni, but me, I don't like the same pizza topping twice," said Ree Drummond aka The Pioneer Woman last week before her new Food Network show premiered. So when the kids and her husband Ladd, aka Marlboro Man / Captain Forearms, are out of town, she likes to make this fig-prosciutto pizza. You've probably tasted the fig plus prosciutto combo before. It's sweet, salty, and peppery all at once, and a fun way to change up the pepperoni or sausage routine. More

October trial date set in Colorado movie attack
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) - The man charged in the mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater in 2012 now faces trial in October.
However, Judge Carlos A. Samour added as he set the date Thursday that it's possible the trial may be further delayed as prosecutors and defense attorneys spar over sanity evaluations of James Holmes.
"As much as I know people are eager to have this trial take place ... I also want to make sure we're doing things right," Samour told lawyers at a court hearing, noting that, among other factors, a mental health expert may ask for more time to examine Holmes. "We're all going to have to be flexible."
Samour said the trial would start Oct. 14 with the opening of a lengthy jury selection process. Samour said 6,000 potential jurors will be summoned, and those who respond will be interviewed by lawyers at a rate of 300 a day for at least two weeks to determine the panel.
Holmes is charged in the July 2012 attack that killed 12 people and injured 70 at a movie theater in Aurora, a Denver suburb. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
At the hearing Thursday, Holmes wore a red jail uniform and sat quietly at the defense table.
A lawyer for Holmes, Tamara Brady, told Samour that Holmes would challenge the judge's Feb. 20 order granting a prosecution request that Holmes undergo a second mental evaluation.
"That could delay things as well," said Brady, who had asked earlier Thursday that no trial date be set yet.
Brady said that when the challenge to the mental exam is formally lodged, likely within the next two weeks, Holmes would also request that the evaluation be postponed until the question is resolved. Samour had earlier given the state hospital until July 11 to submit a new report on Holmes's mental state, and trial cannot begin until that report is complete.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, which, like the insanity plea, is a factor that means extra time in court for special arguments.
The original trial date was in August. That was pushed to February after prosecutors announced they were seeking the death penalty. The February date was abandoned when prosecutors requested that Holmes undergo a second mental health evaluation.
In granting the request for a second mental evaluation, Samour said the first evaluation by the state mental hospital was "incomplete and inadequate."

Although Fairfax County Public Schools outperformed the Virginia average in its math, reading, science and social studies Standards of Learning pass rates, both state and local test scores show an increase in the gap between achievement among student subgroups in mathematics.
At the state level, the performance gap in math scores between the all-student average and black student performance went from 10 points during 2010-11 school year to 16 points in 2011-12. Fairfax County Public School students showed a similar trend, with county scores going from a nine- to 17-point disparity.
The gap between the average of all students and Hispanic students also grew in math. At the state level, the gap went from four to seven points, while county schools showed a gap increase from seven to 18 points.
The largest disparity in scores was among students with disabilities, where the math achievement gap on SOLs rose from 11 points to 28 points.
In other subject areas tested, the gap between subgroups and all-student averages showed signs of decrease or stability.
For example, in reading, black and Hispanic student pass rates rose, will the gap between these subgroups and the county average stayed at six and seven points, respectively.
"As far achievement gaps, reading achievement has continued to increase and the achievement gap has been reduced from 27 in 2002 to 10 in 2012," said John Torre, county schools spokesman. "The drop in math scores was not unexpected. The decline is similar to what happened during the 2005-06 school year when math SOLs were added to grades four, six and seven but teachers and students met the challenge and test scores quickly rebounded in the following years. We expect the same turnaround in scores to occur again."
School systems statewide reported struggles with the new math SOL standards that were rolled out this past school year. At the state and county levels, math SOL pass rates dropped. For the state, the scores dropped from an 87 percent to 68 percent. The county system showed a pass rate shift from 92 percent to 78 percent.
"The FCPS Program of Studies was realigned in 2011 to match the new math SOL assessments. In anticipation of the increased rigor of the standards, administrators and teachers received training on the new SOLs over the past year," Torre said. "Resources such as lesson plans and pacing guides are currently aligned to the new curriculum. Additional training and resources will be provided to teachers throughout the school year. We are confident these ongoing efforts will result in increased student achievement."
The state rolls out revised reading and science assessments this year, and the school system expects similar adjustments in reading and science scores once the new SOLs are implemented.
Regardless of what group a public school student falls into, county school officials said the goal is high attainment for all children.
"Fairfax strongly says that we reach pass rates of 90 percent for every group," said Kathleen Oliver, Office of Student Testing director.

Q:How much honey is used in one batch of Honey I Washed The Kids soap?Asked on 6/11/2015 by Sierra:)
1 answer
A:That's a very hard question to answer, because it always depends on how large our batch of soap we're making for the week is. Although, I can say that after our soap base, honey is the next ingredient so that means that there is a high concentration of it!Answered on 6/12/2015 by Pauline
Q:Is the beeswax in the soap or just on top? I'm allergic. Thank you!Asked on 5/24/2015 by Christian from WV
1 answer
A:I wouldn't recommend using Honey I Washed The Kids soap if your allergic to beeswax. Unfortunately there's no guarantee that you won't have a reaction to the product, if your looking a moisturizing soap I would check out Sultana of Soap.Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:Does this product expire?Asked on 9/15/2014 by Elise
1 answer
A:Freshness is very important to us and we recommend using our products as fresh as possible for best results. Soap is alkaline and will not spoil. That said, the oils that make it smell and feel the way it does will evaporate overtime and it will not smell or feel the same as using it when it is fresh. We recommend using our solid products within 14 months.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Anonymous
Q:When I saw that this soap was honey and toffee scented, I was very happy. However, wouldn't honey and/or toffee leave grease/oils on the skin?Asked on 7/7/2014 by Bubbly from Washington DC
3 answers
A:Absolutely not! Honey rinses clean away, and the toffee scent is actually a blend of other ingredients that create a sweet toffee scent when mixed together with honey. Honey I Washed the Kids is one of our best-selling products both for the scent, and the feeling on the skin that it leaves!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I haven't had a problem with any greasy residue, and the soap does actually
smell like honey and toffee. The only thing to watch out for is the
honeycomb on top, it can be kind of sharp if you don't peel it off before
using the soap.Answered on 7/7/2014 by Anonymous
A:It leaves no greasy or oily feeling.
Smells and works great.

A:The Soft Coeur massage bar is so, so similar and you can definitely use it like a lotion.
It also contains honey but also has almond oil, shea butter, cocoa butter...and it's edible (especially good since Honey I Washed The Kids already looks so tempting to take a bite of).Answered on 1/30/2014 by Maemi from Toronto, ON

Q:i've tried honey i washed the kids and i LOVED the smell of the soap, but it didn't smell on my skin. is it supposed to leave a scent on your skin or is it just my stubborn skin?Asked on 8/28/2013 by Ryan
2 answers
A:While the solid soaps are quite scented when using them, this scent does not tend to linger very long on the skin as it diffuses into the air and leaves your skin.Answered on 10/28/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:My boyfriend loves this and so do I. It has the strong beautiful smell before using but the smell does faint a little after showering and wiping down. The scent should still be there but a little lighter. Do you use lotion after? If so, that could be the reason. If not, try to use cold wanter rinse after soaping. I find that it helps for some reason compared to using warm water.Answered on 10/18/2013 by Elysia the daily Lush store visitor from Honolulu, HI
Q:why it is vegetarian not vegan?Asked on 4/9/2013 by yoyo
2 answers
A:Honey I Washed the Kids is vegan because it contains honey, which is an animal byproduct.Answered on 9/16/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Vegans can't use any animal products, which includes honey. So basically, they can't use this soap. If you are vegan, though, Lush has a selection of other products that are vegan. Hope this helps :)Answered on 6/16/2013 by LUSHLOVER from San Francisco, CA
Q:I love this soap, but I have trouble getting much of a lather from it with a washcloth. What is the best way to get this to lather?Asked on 2/26/2013 by Rowan from Washington, DC
2 answers
A:The best way to lather up with Honey I Washed the Kids is the same way that you would with any bar of soap! Some customers tend to experience less lather than a conventional soap may provide, but it does a great job of cleaning regardless!Answered on 9/20/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
A:I just use this soap straight on my skin and I get a perfect lather with it. If you're using the washcloth for exfoliation, the honeycomb on top of the soap is perfect for that.Answered on 3/10/2013 by Brandon from Colorado
Q:What is the honeycomb on top of the soap made of?Asked on 6/9/2012 by Courtney

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
After a long discussion with a fair amount of heated debate on the merits of the entire Waitsfield municipal water project, the Waitsfield School Board voted against withdrawing from its contract to join the project.
A December 20 meeting of the school board featured some heated debate
about whether the town system is of any value to the school and whether
the school board would be looking out for the best interests of the
school or the town by signing up for the system.
In 2008, the school board agreed to sign up for the municipal system. School Principal Kaiya Korb told the crowd at this week's meeting that the school's current water system failed to comply with state regulations in 2005 and that the school has been able to provide potable water via chlorination but that the contact time for chlorination does not meet state standards.
In 2006, she explained, voters approved a motion to borrow up to $50,000 to repair, replace or upgrade the current system. The current system serves the school, the General Wait House and the Waitsfield-Fayston Fire Station. At present the school does not have a full-service kitchen because it lacks the septic capacity for such a system. The septic system cannot be expanded without interfering with the water source protection area for the school's water supply.
Between 2006 and 2008, the school board reviewed various options for repairing the existing water supply, holding off on the repairs because the state was willing to let the school explore its options as long as the water remained potable in regular testing.
To repair the current system will cost an estimated $34,000 and the school has $25,000 of that cost forgiven by the state. Under that scenario, the school's water would be regularly chlorinated and the school would incur an estimated $7,000 in water system maintenance and costs to save for replacing the system. Continuing to use the existing system would continue to require Korb and the school's lead facility maintainer to spend time overseeing the system.
If the school stands by its commitment to the town water system, the school will have to pay $1,500 in connection fees, on top of the $5,800 the school has already paid. Annual costs for using the town system would be an estimated $12,000, but those fees will be reduced as more users sign on to the system.
If the school breaks its contract with the town, the school would lose the $5,800 already paid.
At this week's meeting Korb explained to the board and others present that her recommendation that the school stick with the town water project was based on several factors. She noted that the town system would provide water that was not required to be treated with chlorine. She reminded those present that declining school enrollment throughout The Valley would likely lead to the consolidation of elementary schools and said that the Waitsfield School needs to have the ability to expand the septic system to accommodate a full kitchen - something that is only possible if the current water source protection distance goes away.
Robin Morris, chair of the town's water implementation task force, answered a series of questions from the public, from Mike Kingsbury and school board member Scott Kingsbury about the proposed system. Morris also explained that the town's assessment of the school's projected water use initially came in at 23.7 ERUs (an ERU is an equivalent residential unit based on a three-bedroom house). After review the town dropped the school's number of ERUs to 14.1, which reduces the connection fees and usage fees.
Mike Kingsbury raised several questions about the cost of the Waitsfield system compared to systems in Rochester and Waterbury. He also questioned the wisdom of Waitsfield's linear system, versus the circular system that exists in Waterbury. He said that he had initially been a supporter of the municipal water project but could now no longer support the project.
Chris Pierson joined Gary Kingsbury in questioning why a property owner could not sign up, pay the connection fees and then not use the water until it was needed. Morris explained that the terms of the grants and loans the town had received required that all connected users pay for the system.
Board chair Rob Williams brought the focus of the meeting back to the issue of what is right for the school versus the merits of the town's system, and the board closed the public comment portion of the meeting. School board members discussed the impact of joining the water project on the future of the school, with some members concurring that the school needs to keep long-range planning in mind and keep the water option available in light of potential consolidation, use of the school for more town/community events and the ability to have a full kitchen.
Board members also discussed revisiting the issue of school participation in the town water project if the town makes no progress on legal challenges facing the project by next August.
Scott Kingsbury made a motion that the school withdraw from the town project which board member Wrenn Compere seconded to allow for discussion. After discussion, Chair Williams, board member Helen Kellogg and Compere voted against the motion; Kingsbury voted for it and board member Elizabeth Cadwell abstained.
Waitsfield's $7.6 million project got underway this fall. It is funded through state and federal grants and loans. Work on the project came to a halt due to weather and also due to a legal challenge to the town's right to drill its well in the right of way on Reed Road. Last month a Vermont Superior Court judge ruled against the town, in favor of plaintiffs Jean Damon and Virginia Houston. The town must now negotiate with those two landowners for use of the road or appeal the decision or initiate condemnation proceedings to take that section of road.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Robert McClain was one of those offseason signings that hardly anyone notices.
A seventh-round draft pick, he had already been cut by two teams when he caught on with the Atlanta Falcons.
The 5-foot-9 cornerback turned out to be a steal.
McClain has been a huge part of the Falcons injury plagued secondary, which lost star cornerback Brent Grimes in the very first game and is now dealing with Asante Samuels ailing right shoulder.
He looks like a first-round pick to me, Atlanta safety William Moore said Wednesday. Dude can play some ball.
McClain has broken up eight passes, which is tied for second on the team behind Samuel, and has allowed the Falcons to carry on just fine with their plan at the beginning of the year to have three cornerbacks on the field in most situations, teaming with Samuel (when healthy) and Dunta Robinson. The Falcons (11-1) have already clinched the NFC South championship and are in prime position to lock up home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs.
Atlanta travels to Carolina (3-9) on Sunday.
Back in January, when the Falcons signed McClain shortly after their first-round playoff loss to the Giants, Moore got a tip from secondary coach Tim Lewis:
Keep an eye on this guy.
I could tell hes a heck of an athlete, Moore said. Coach Lewis gave us the heads up before he came in. He said, `We got us a steal right there. From day one, Robert stepped in there and just took over. Hes been lights out already, and I know for sure hes going to get better down the stretch.
McClain caught the eye of Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan from the first day of training camp.
Hes kind of a quieter guy on the field, Ryan said. But he makes plays. Thats one thing that stuck out to everybody in training camp. When you went against him, he didnt back down from anybody. Hes got this quiet confidence to him.
McClain made the team, but was inactive for the opener at Kansas City. Thats when Grimes, perhaps the teams best cornerback, went down with an Achilles injury.
Theres always going to be injuries on a team every year, but you dont expect it to be that early in the season, McClain said. It was sad to see that happen. Grimes is a great player. I learned a lot just being around him during the offseason.
Those lessons clearly paid off. McClain dressed out the following week and broke up one of Peyton Mannings passes in a victory over Denver. McClain has played a major role ever since.
Just dont expect the 24-year-old to get complacent. Not after being cut by both Carolina and Jacksonville early in his career.
Im always going to have that hunger, McClain said. Nothing is guaranteed. Youve got to keep working hard every day, keep showing the coaches and the other players that you can play.
McClain isnt the only cornerback to make a surprising contribution.
Last week, Samuel was knocked out of the game early by his lingering shoulder injury, forcing Christopher Owens to play an expanded role in the secondary. Though largely a disappointment during his four-year career, he broke up two passes and made three tackles against Drew Brees and the high-scoring New Orleans Saints, a huge contributor in the 23-13 victory.
Im not getting too high, said Owens, who was a third-round pick in 2009 but has mainly been limited to special teams. Ive had some growing pains. Im still having them. Im not perfect. But its a beginning.
The Falcons are just thankful to have more depth in the secondary than even they realized at the beginning of the season.
With the cornerbacks locking down things on the outside, the safeties are able to freelance more in defensive coordinator Mike Nolans system. Both are having the sort of seasons that will likely lead to Pro Bowl consideration. Thomas DeCoud has a team-high five interceptions, while Moore leads in tackles (105) and has four picks.
We have not missed a step, DeCoud said. Everybody is really comfortable with each other. We all get along very well. That allows a guy who hasnt gotten many reps to come in and feel comfortable with the guys around him. Thats a testament not only to their talent but our camaraderie as a secondary.

Business and human rights issues have attracted vigorous debate since the surge in economic activities that extend well beyond traditional national boundaries in the 1990s. More recently in 2011, the United Nations issued its "Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights" (generally referred to as the Ruggie Framework). A substantial number of companies around the world have incorporated this framework into their efforts to promote business development.
Against this backdrop, Panasonic also engages in business activities that place the utmost emphasis on respecting human rights. This emphasis extends across every facet of the Company's global business endeavors from the recruitment of personnel from around the world to the worldwide supply of a wealth of products and services in partnerships with worldwide suppliers.
Panasonic has clearly stipulated the need to respect human rights and do its best to understand, acknowledge and respect the diverse cultures, religions, mindsets, laws and regulations of people in the different countries and regions where the Company conducts its business in the Panasonic Code of Conduct. Moreover, Panasonic supports the basic principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises as well as other guidelines. The essence of these principles has also been incorporated into the Company's Code of Conduct.
Meanwhile, Panasonic consults with the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights endorsed by the United Nations Human Rights Council in June 2011. As a member of the Japan Business Council in Europe (JBCE), Panasonic also submits public comments regarding the ICT Sector Guidance being drafted by the European Commission. Based on these initiatives, the Company is adopting the proactive approach of accurately reflecting global trends and conditions into its management and operating activities.
In concert with its employees as well as its worldwide network of suppliers and business partners, Panasonic is looking to gain an accurate understanding of the laws and labor practices of each country. At the same time, the Company will pursue business activities while working to consistently improve labor-management relations.
