And HOW! I have had SO much fun creating with today's steal, the Hampton Arts Glitter Glues and Glitter sets. Wait. Let me rephrase that. My 3 year old, my 6 year old, my 9 year old, her friend and myself have had an absolute blast playing with GLITTER! In fact, I dare say that we will all be sparkling for a few days.
I will apologize in advance for the tons of photos on this posting. It was just so much fun and the versatility of the glitters and glues is so much that I just had to do a little of this and a little of that and loved it all so much that I wanted to share it with you!
As soon as my kids were out the door to school, my 'baby' and I set out to do a little crafting with glitter.
We first decided to cover some raw chipboard shapes to give them a little more flair. We started with a snowflake shape and used the Tsukineko glue pad to adhere glue to the shape.
I then let Matthew choose the color of glitter he wanted to use. I love that the caps to the glitter containers are not only secure, but are kid friendly. They are also designed so that if the bottle is knocked over very little glitter will spill out! Added bonus! :)
I then let him take control and create! He was pretty much in sparkly heaven!
Then we had to create more...
and more....
I LOVE how easy it is to remove the cap of the bottles to return the glitter to the container, yet secure enough to ensure of no accidents!
So many different things could be done with the glittered shapes, but we decided to surprise my 5 year old when he got home with some embellishments to add to his 'winter wonderland'.
(Yeah...I think I passed the crafty gene on to this kid. He comes home from Kindergarten and immediately starts creating. This is what we have in our kitchen.)
He was elated with the new shapes and re-modeled his Wonderland......again. :)
I wanted to try a masking technique with the glitter so decided to finally paint a big magnet board that I have had for years, which I have wanted to put next to Aaron's bed so that he has somewhere special to put his creations.
I started by painting the wooden part of the board.
I then used my Silhouette to cut out Aaron's name. I used glue dots to hold the 'mask' into place on the painted frame.
Next I used spray adhesive to carefully spray the letters, then dumped red glitter on top.
I let the glue dry then carefully removed the mask. I LOVE the results and so does Aaron!
I wanted to be sure that the glitter had a little extra protection from little hands so I sealed the frame with a matte finish protective coating.
Best of all is now Aaron's Winter Wonderland has re-located to the magnet board, and he is quite pleased about it! :) Now to get it hung by his bed!
I then had to try my hand at rubber stamping with the glitter. I used my glue pad again, this time as 'ink' for my stamps and this is what I came up with.
Oh and I have to say I'm elated to have such a variety of colors. Ever since my 16 year old lost her first tooth our 'tooth fairy' always leaves a trail of glitter trailing out from underneath the pillow. My kids always have the best time predicting what color of Fairy will be paying a visit!
Can you believe that that is only HALF of the fun that I had today! Now let me show you what the kids and I did with the amazing glitter glues.
First off let me say how much I love the tubes for the glues. Let's face it....glue is glue and sometimes that makes for clogged applicator tips. Hampton Arts totally thought that through and made their application tips VERY easy to remove which makes it easy to run under hot water and fix any sticky problem!
I used my Silhouette again and cut out a Christmas tree for Aaron and turned him lose with the glitter glue. He was truly in his element!
He created clear into the evening. This is what I found.
I wanted to cover raw chipboard, and here is what I made.
I then added a little sparkle to some card that I already had made.
I truly didn't want to stop glittering things! I looked around my craft room to see what I could sparkle and thought these flowers could use a little pick me up!
Truly. What an AMAZING day making things sparkle. I'm sure you'll be seeing LOTS of bling from me in the future. After all, how can I resist when Hampton Arts makes it oh so easy!
Have a great weekend everyone! Be safe. Be happy. See you Monday!

|Brief Summary
Systemic sclerosis is an orphan, multiorgan disease affecting the connective tissue of the skin and all internal organs. Cardiac involvement, mainly characterised by small intramyocardial coronary artery involvement and myocardial fibrosis, can cause the development of impaired diastolic ventricular filling, cardiac blocks and ventricular arrhythmias, and can ensue in congestive heart failure and sudden death. Until now, no drug has been proven to have a therapeutic effect on SSc myocardial disease on an evidence-based level. Short-term trials and retrospective studies have suggested a favourable and protective effect of calcium channel blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in patients with myocardial involvement. However, no data are presently available on the prevention and treatment of severe heart disease.
This observational trial is part of the collaborative project "DeSScipher", one out of five observational trials to decipher the optimal management of systemic sclerosis. Aim of this observational trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of calcium channel blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in asymptomatic SSc patients with cardiac involvement.

Bullpen work uneven as starters struggle
SAN FRANCISCO -- The problems endured by the Giants' starting rotation have affected the bullpen, too.
The workload distribution has been uneven during the past week as manager Bruce Bochy has called on his middle relievers more than his setup men or closer Sergio Romo. Right-hander George Kontos and left-hander Jose Mijares made three and four appearances, respectively, during San Francisco's 1-5 trip, while Jeremy Affeldt, Javier Lopez and Romo each pitched once.
Bochy explained that he partly wanted to "protect" the likes of Affeldt and Romo, who had been pitching at a frequent rate until last week. Meanwhile, the starters' early disappearances have meant more work for Kontos and Mijares than is ideal.
As a result, fatigue has set in. Kontos has allowed six runs and 11 hits in 3 2/3 innings spanning his last three appearances. Mijares allowed two inherited runners to score in Sunday's sixth inning at Colorado and has allowed opponents to hit .311 off him.

Protein S100 Beta as a Predictor of Resuscitation Outcome
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Management of cardiac arrest is complicated by the lack of a readily available tool identifying individuals who are likely to be successfully resuscitated. S100 beta is a protein that originates in the astroglial cells of the brain, and NSE (Neuron Specific Enolase) is another protein that originates in the neurons themselves. In the laboratory, the concentration of these proteins correlate with evidence of brain damage after head trauma, stroke and exposure to low levels of oxygen. The concentration of these proteins in the blood of human survivors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in humans is much higher than in patients who were resuscitated but did not survive. However, it is still unclear whether survivors from cardiopulmonary resuscitation have higher levels of these proteins in their blood if they survive with neurological injury secondary to the arrest and resuscitation.
Hypothesis: In humans, the blood concentrations of protein S100 beta and NSE during and after resuscitation can predict who will die despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation and who will survive with neurological injury secondary to the arrest and resuscitation.

With all this JO speculation, I thought it might be time to compare the level of speculation to our previous two.
First, there was the outbound trade of Ron Artest to Sacramento.
Second, there was the inbound trade of Al Harrington from Atlanta.
Now, there is the potential outbound trade of Jermaine O'Neal to LA or NJ or who knows.
Which one has led to the most speculation?

Former Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown said coach Bill Callahan may have sabotaged Oakland's chances of winning Super Bowl XXXVII against Tampa Bay 10 years ago by changing the game plan two days before the game.
Although stopping short of blaming Callahan, Brown suggested that the change in plans could have contributed to Pro Bowl center Barret Robbins' going AWOL from the team and missing the Super Bowl due to substance abuse.
Brown also said that Callahan never liked the Raiders organization. Tampa Bay and former Raiders coach Jon Gruden, a friend of Callahan's, wound up beating the Raiders 48-21.
In an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Brown said the Raiders knew they didn't have a chance to beat the Buccaneers when Callahan switched from a run-oriented plan to a pass-heavy attack on Friday.
"We get our game plan for victory on Monday, and the game plan says we're gonna run the ball," Brown said Saturday in a transcript provided by ProFootballTalk.com. "We averaged 340 (pounds) on the offensive line, they averaged 280 (on the defensive line). We're all happy with that, everybody is excited. "
Then, Brown said, Callahan inexplicably switched plans on the Friday before the game and planned on "throwing the ball 60 times."
"We all called it sabotage . . . because Callahan and (Tampa Bay coach Jon) Gruden were good friends," Brown said. "And Callahan had a big problem with the Raiders, you know, hated the Raiders. You know, only came because Gruden made him come. Literally walked off the field on us a couple of times during the season when he first got there, the first couple years. So really he had become someone who was part of the staff but we just didn't pay him any attention. Gruden leaves, he becomes the head coach. . . . It's hard to say that the guy sabotaged the Super Bowl. You know, can you really say that? That can be my opinion, but I can't say for a fact that that's what his plan was, to sabotage the Super Bowl. He hated the Raiders so much that he would sabotage the Super Bowl so his friend can win the Super Bowl. That's hard to say, because you can't prove it.
"But the facts are what they are, that less than 36 hours before the game we changed our game plan. And we go into that game absolutely knowing that we have no shot. That the only shot we had if Tampa Bay didn't show up."
Jerry Rice, who started alongside Brown at wide receiver for the Raiders, told ESPN that he agrees with Brown and thought the game plan change was "unusual."
"I think Tim Brown, what he's accusing (Callahan of) is why would you wait 'til the last second to change the game plan?," Rice said. "I think a lot of players they were surprised, also. In a way, because (Callahan) didn't like the Raiders he decided that maybe we should sabotage this a little bit and let (Buccaneers coach) Jon Gruden go out and win this one."
Brown said Robbins pleaded with Callahan to stick with the original game plan. As the center, Robbins was responsible for making line calls, which he had practiced all week anticipating a pass-happy attack, Brown said.
"Barret Robbins begged Coach Callahan, 'Do not do this to me. I don't have time to make my calls, to get my calls ready. You can't do this to me on Friday. We haven't practiced full speed, we can't get this done,'"
"I'm not saying one had anything to do with the other," Brown said. "All I'm saying is those are the facts of what happened Super Bowl week. So our ire wasn't towards Barret Robbins, it was towards Bill Callahan. Because we feel as if he wouldn't have did what he did, then Barret wouldn't have done what he did.
"Now, should Barret have manned up and tried to do it? Absolutely. But everybody knew Barret was unstable anyway. So to put him in that situation -- not that he was putting him in that situation -- but for that decision to be made without consulting the players the Friday before the Super Bowl? I played 27 years of football. The coaches never changed the game plan the Friday before the game. I'm not trying to point fingers at anybody here, all I'm saying is those are the facts of what happened. So people look at Barret and they say all these things, but every player in that locker room will tell you, 'You'd better talk to Bill Callahan.' Because if not for Coach Callahan, I don't think we're in that situation."
Raiders fullback Jon Ritchie expressed surprise that the controversy of the game plan change took so long to catch people's attention.
"I've said it for years. What we practiced heavily during the week is not what we ran in that game," Ritchie said Tuesday. "Could have been due to Barret's absence. It was never explained to me.
"I believe I said it on the record every year we talked about the Super Bowl I always thought it would get sensational like this."
Nonetheless, other former Raiders disagree strongly with Brown's suggestion that Callahan would intentionally hurt Oakland's chances of winning.
"I like Tim Brown, great guy, great teammate, but I think he's delusional to think that Bill Callahan would give up the biggest opportunity of his life ... to create a legacy for himself to be a Super Bowl winning coach," Romanowski told ESPN. "I can't even comprehend that something like that would come out of (Brown's) mouth."
Rich Gannon, the Raiders' record-setting quarterback that season, also disputed Brown's claims during an interview with ESPN.
"I don't know if the game plan really changed,' Gannon sad. "(But) in terms of Bill Callahan, let me just say this, he was a good football coach, I think he's a good man. I don't think he'd ever, nor would anyone on our team, because of a relationship with a former coach or anything would intentionally (do that).
"There was too much in it for all of us from a selfish perspective," said Gannon, whose five interceptions helped doom the Raiders' fate that day. "We we all wanted to win (and) I'm sure Bill Callahan was one of them as well."
Gannon, though, said the biggest mistake the Raiders' coaches made was not changing the terminology used for audibles and other calls at the line of scrimmage. Those calls remained the same ones used when Gruden coached the Raiders, which backfired during the Super Bowl because Gruden's Buccaneers also had learned the terminology.
One former Raiders offensive player who wished to be unnamed, texted ESPN's Chris Mortensen his surprise at Brown's allegations.
"No, (Tim) isn't right. While there was always dysfunction, that didn't happen. If anything Bill wanted to kick Jon's a--. Nobody would do that. Brutal. We got out-played and out-coached. Period."

Sonos Sub1/12 Pocket-lint
Good bass, good design, easy setup
Big, expensive, maybe too loud
Sonos, the company behind the multi-room wireless music system, has launched a wireless subwoofer to fit into any room, promising to boost the performance of the company's range of zone players instantly. But can it really be that easy? We've been listening to one in our home, rather than a controlled environment, to find out.
Arriving in a box that is enough to crush a small child - your small children will love you if you give them the box afterwards - setup of the Sonos Sub is frighteningly easy.
The Sub is big and covered in a piano-black lacquer, making it shimmer and shine as the light hits it. Aside from a small single button on the side, and the Sonos logo in white on the front, there are no other imperfections disturbing the casing and its powerful sound inside.
What's also immediately apparent is that the Sub's two speakers point inwards and are revealed only by a hole in the centre. This means you can't block the sound, no matter how hard you try. The upshot is, you can hide it in the corner of the room or under your sofa, if there's enough space. If you're looking for something to hide, then it's worth noting that there is a cheaper version that doesn't have such a pretty finish.
Once you've worked out where to put your Sub, it's all about connecting the system to your current Sonos speaker.
When we've played with sub-woofers before, the setup normally involves having to dismantle your current speaker system, inserting the sub into the loop somehow and then turning a couple of dials to get the right settings and the right levels to maximise your bass.
This being Sonos, the experience is vastly different. In our setup we placed the Sub in various positions to see if it made a difference to the sound. It doesn't, and that's great news if you've got a funny shaped space or are keen to hide the Sub out of the way. Even lying it flat rather than standing it up didn't seem to affect the tunes we listened to.
One element that will help determine where you need to place it, is that it will need access to power. Plug it in o a power socket, load the Sonos app or software on your computer and press the connect button on the unit.
Ten seconds later and the software asks you a couple of questions about what your setup is, letting you implement some small refinements and tweaks, and then away you go - it really is that simple.
We were ready to enjoy the new bit of kit within two minutes. No wires, no hassle. Setup out of the way, all that is left to do is work out what you want to listen to.
The Sonos Sub will work with all the Sonos gear apart from the non-amplified Sonos CONNECT/ZP90/ZP80 and this, Sonos tells us, is because it can't monitor the volume levels on a third-party amp and thus can't adjust the sub to match it.
With the rest of the system the Sonos Sub works to increase the volume accordingly in harmony and - using the array of Sonos controller apps available - you can manage things like gain and bass levels at the press of a button. It's very easy to use, like everything Sonos makes.
Better still for showing off your new toy, you can disable the sub at the press of a button. This will no doubt be invaluable for demoing it to your mates, and proving to Mrs Pocket-lint that the investment has been worthwhile. "Look you really can hear the difference," you'll be heard saying.
As we found in our first demo from Sonos, the Sub really adds plenty of depth to your music regardless of the speakers you are using.
Our first test system consisted of two Play:3 units connected in stereo with the Sonos Sub sitting in the middle of the room. For our home test, we used a Sonos Connect:Amp with two small compact speakers in a large living room.
Music was via Spotify as well as streamed from a network drive. We tested it with several tracks including Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy and Dummy by Portishead. We chose those because both tracks have heavy bass elements alongside high treble or female vocals.
We also listened to music from the Drive soundtrack as well as a range of the "top tracks" currently available on Spotify.
What was noticeable, and confirmed by Sonos, is that in this set up the Play:3 units are able to stop worrying about bass and concentrate on the treble, and do a better job of it as a result. That's a very clever move, and should produce some fantastic quality sound.
As Sonos has continued to expand and go "mass market" some could say it has forgotten the core music audience it started out to impress. Not so any more. This is Sonos returning to its roots and delivering a music device that is all about sound.
The Sonos Sub sounds great, offering plenty of bass, and if you are happy to turn the levels up, tooth-rattling amounts of noise. The big concern will be that your neighbours aren't going to enjoy your newfound love for sound, and it's something we would definitely suggest you should consider if you're not in a detached house in the middle of nowhere.
This isn't for everyone, something even Sonos admits, but for those intrigued enough to pay double what you would a regular sub-woofer you won't be disappointed.

|Study Completion Date:
|July 20, 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 20, 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Aspirin
Aspirin 81mg one tablet once a day from recruitment until 37 weeks or labor whichever comes first
|Drug: Aspirin
Placebo Comparator: placebo
placebo one tablet once a day from recruitment until 37 weeks or labor whichever comes first
|Drug: placebo
Detailed Description:
This will be a randomized control trial to estimate the efficacy of low dose aspirin in preventing preeclampsia in women identified in the first trimester to be at high risk. We will also obtain maternal blood, cord blood and placenta specimen for basic science studies to attempt to dissect biological mechanisms of aspirin effects. In addition we will conduct a cost-benefit analysis to determine the cost effectiveness of screening and using aspirin prophylaxis for screen positive women.
Rationale for Design: The randomized control trial is the 'gold standard' of research design. Other designs such as case-control, retrospective cohort and prospective cohort are limited by potential bias and confounding. Randomly assigning subjects to different interventions minimizes selection bias. The random assignment also results in groups that are likely to be similar with regards to important confounding variables. This minimizes confounding by both measured and unmeasured factors. While random allocation does not guarantee the groups will be identical, it does ensure that any differences between them are due to chance alone. Finally, randomization produces groups that are random samples of the population. This permits use of standard statistical tests that are based on probability theory.

NICE -- Authorities arrested a Ukiah man allegedly wearing nothing but socks while walking along Highway 20 in Nice Monday morning.
Victor Albert Caldera, 39, was booked into the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure.
The arrest occurred after callers reported seeing a man undress as he walked down the highway midmorning Monday, according to California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer Joe Wind.
A CHP officer responded and found Caldera nearly nude -- wearing only his socks -- on Highway 20 near Stokes Avenue in Nice, Wind said. He was arrested without incident about 10:45 a.m.

The Blaugrana chief has stressed that the 44-year-old's health is all that matters, and is confident that he will make a full recovery from his illness
The 44-year-old will be taking a hiatus from the game while he undergoes chemotherapy and radiation treatment that is scheduled to last around six weeks.
"Tito is strong, very strong. He's shown that he's strong and we're convinced that he'll be back with us soon," Rosell said at a press conference.
"The most important thing is that he recovers and that he has the necessary tranquility to undergo this [healing] process.
"I liked seeing his face. He looked strong. He has extraordinary mental strength, he only looked worried for his wife, children and parents.
"We are a strong and unified club, we can overcome any adversity."
Vilanova will be replaced by assistant Jordi Roura during his absence.

Christmas schedules keep choral pros on their toes
On a Saturday morning in Center City, Philadelphia, outside the First Baptist Church at 17th and Sansom Streets, a singer gets ready for his day.
"Facing a long day of rehearsal," said Steven Bradshaw. "It's 10:30 going to 5:00. Doing a lot of singing."
Bradshaw is a professional freelance singer. Most of the year he ekes out a living singing classical repertoire for organizations like the Choral Arts Society, the Mendelssohn Club, the Philadelphia Singers, and The Crossing.
In December, Bradshaw does the holiday hustle.
"People's appetites for traditional and classical music is awakened during the season," said Bradshaw. "These groups are ready to pounce on that."
Much music
Inside First Baptist, a small baroque orchestra tunes up, and about 40 singers take off their coats and warm up with take-out coffee. They have all been hired by the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia for an upcoming performance of Bach's "Magnificat" and Vivaldi's "Gloria."
"You often see the usual suspects at these gigs," said Bradshaw.
One of those suspects is Jenifer Smith, who rattles off her holiday schedule: "Five Messiahs. This concert. Tons of lessons and carols. Gigs singing Christmas shows for hospitals and parties. A lot of church masses.
"Then," she adds with a laugh, "in the summertime I'm sitting around doing nothing."
For professional singers, the advent season is a dizzy navigation of criss-crossing obligations. Many have overlapping gigs, and have to make hard choices about which contracts to take, and which rehearsals they can skip.
High-profile gigs, like Choral Arts, the Mendelssohn Club, or The Crossing, are actually a small part of the pie.
"If I were to add up all my checks from organizations, it would be from churches, singing church masses at various Catholic and Episcopalian churches throughout the city and New Jersey," said Smith. "That's my main cash source. Singing for Jesus is very lucrative."
During this rehearsal, Smith was worried about getting out in time to race over to Princeton, N.J., to sing a Messiah at 7 p.m., while Steve Bradshaw had to turn town an offer from the Philadelphia Singers because their performance in Paoli, Pa., is just too much ground to cover.
On the go
Another singer, Ryan Tibbets, ducked out of rehearsal early so that he would have time to get to his next show.
"It's pretty busy," said Tibbets, driving his VW Jetta on Kelly Drive toward St. Paul's episcopal church in Chestnut Hill. "Choral Arts in the morning, then this concert. A little on the busy side."
Tibbets is working toward a doctorate in choral music and hustles between singing and conducting jobs all over the city. Like any professional, he is able to sing, in perfect pitch, literally all day long.
"If you sing with good technique, you can keep things going. Don't try to sing too loudly, too long," said Tibbets. "Otherwise, take care of yourself. Sleep. Drink a lot of water. Cut down on alcohol, it can dehydrate your throat."
Upon arrival at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chestnut Hill, Tibbet's first duty as a singer is to set up metal folding chairs.
"We're putting down chairs for audience members right now," said Tibbets, wrestling an chair off a rack. "We sold this concert out. We need as many chairs as we can put down."
Not done yet
The performance by the Mendelssohn Club — 130 voices strong — was accompanied by a brass quintet. The soaring arches of the 82-year-old church were build like the hull of a ship, with intricately carved angels as rafters.
Those angels were bathed in the voices of the choir, singing a program of modern and traditional classical music focused on the subjects of angels, including the premiere of "In the Company of Angels," by Philadelphia composer Donald St. Pierre.
The Mendelssohn Club's next performance is for the Philadelphia Orchestra's "Glorious Sounds of Christmas" concert, an entirely different program, with an entirely different conductor, requiring an entire different rehearsal schedule.

The course was originally designed by Dave Dunnipace, owner of Innova Disc Golf, one of the country's largest manufactures of discs, baskets, and accessories. It has been touted as one of the best courses in the nation with its incredible variety and scenic views. Broken into three 9-hole courses, the outing takes you on a 2.5 mile hike through the historic Angeles National forest where players are apt to see hawks, deer, coyotes and more. Snowcapped mountains line the course to the West and long, desert vistas stretch out to the East providing a landscape of scenery only found at 7,000 feet.
Says Tom Bant, avid disc golfer, "The design of the course is brilliant. Most Southern California courses are found in regional parks but this one has all kinds of variety with long holes, short holes, up hill, down hill, you name it. And it is one of the most beautiful courses I've ever played."
Mountain High is now hosting tournaments the first Sunday of each month. Divisional, ace pool, etc. Please sign in at pro shop. Weekly Doubles Tournaments are also taking place ever Saturday morning at 10:00am

HUNDREDS piled into the Chiseldon House Hotel yesterday for a special open day after an extensive refurbishment.
From 10am to 3pm, guests could enjoy free tea and coffee with either a bacon roll in the morning, and cut sandwiches with scones and clotted cream in the afternoon.
General manager Sue Higgs said: "We had a really, really good turnout, it was beyond our expectations.
"Since October we've been refurbishing the hotel, levelling out the floor so it's more accessible for people.
"Then we moved into some of the other rooms and recarpeted and repainted and refurbished, everything really, including the radiators.
"We held an open house for everybody and anybody to come and have a look and see what we have on offer here."
Among the visitors was the Mayor of Swindon, Teresa Page, who dropped in to see what was on offer.
Sue said: "She was very lovely and chatty and said she had never been here before, but she seemed very interested and had a good look around.
"We also had a group of ladies who were already booked in but who came in and had a look and were very complimentary."

Stone Chapel Exterior
Stone Chapel Exterior
Phillips Academy
The Stone Chapel had originally been planned to go up in 1864, but a pledge fell through and it was not built until 1875. It was used jointly by the Theological Seminary and the Academy. Its bell tower held a bell that was a facsimile of the Independence Bell and was inscribed to the memory of Josiah Bartlett, the first signer of the Declaration of Independence. The last service was held June 20, 1931 and shortly after it was demolished.

" Brand: Flash / Type: All Purpose Cleaner / Category: Cleaning & Disinfectant "
Flash Multi Surface Lavender & Camomile Fragrance - ranging from £1 to £2 at the major supermarkets
This product is available in other fragrances also. This product has been described as an all purpose cleaner for hard surfaces. It can be sprayed easily though the standard style on, off nozzle and will cover a surface easily. The Spray is easy to direct. The product can also be used as a spot spray for stubborn stains, and can be left to soak for the best cleaning action.
The fragrance of this product is nice and fresh - the camomile seems to tone down the lavender a little, and softens the scent. The spry itself is a purple colour, and is a see through bottle so you know exactly how much is left.
I personally do not use this in the kitchen or bathroom as it is not antibacterial (I bought several on offer without actually realising). As a cleaner it is wonderful - it does break through grease and grime (I used it on the BBQ before burning all the rest of the muck off). It is a great product for general cleaning around the house but because of the lack of antibacterial power I have to say it lasted ages - there are only so many times I can clean my skirting.
It really is a great product for getting rid of muck and spills but I personally feel like I've done a longer lasting job if the product I've used has an anti bacterial aspect to it.
It's a great cleaner, but I would rather have one with anti bacterial in it so I wouldn't really recommend and it's only three stars for me.
Flash Multi Purpose Cleaning Spray Lavender & Camomile.
I used to always buy Flash Multi purpose lavender & camomile because I liked the scent so much, not being a lover of lavender usually I was surprised to like this but hey ho!
Packaging ~
Flash comes packaged in a slightly opaque white bottle through with you can see the purple coloured liquid. The product information is on a label on the front and back. A trigger action sprayer is the lid.
Usage ~
Being a multi purpose spray is can be used anywhere. You simply need to spray onto the surface and not too much is needed and wipe over with a cloth, there is no need to rinse away and it cleans as well as freshens.
My thoughts ~
I will admit that until quite recently I was a bit of a brand snob when it came to cleaning products but simply because any non-branded products I had tried had been rubbish. I still am really but will buy Tesco Daisy products.
I always used to opt for Flash Lavender & Camomile as it was a very effective cleaning spray, not only that but it also smelt lovely too.
I know it is a multi purpose spray but I generally only ever used it in the kitchen and sometimes on the banisters and wood work on the stairs.
I loved the way this spray made cleaning worktops really effortless and left everything sparkling clean, I also loved the way my kitchen would smell after using it. As I have said I don't usually like Lavender scents but this was very clean smelling.
When they changed the formula to Flash with Febreeze I stopped using it as I no longer like the scent. Now the scent of Febreeze really comes through quite strongly and I have to admit to this not being a scent I am particulary fond of.
I was quite disappointed by this but now I do buy the Lemon Flash and this is fine.
Flash Lavender & Camomile can be found on offer priced at around a £1 quite a lot of the time in various supermarkets, it's usual price is around £2.50.
I bought a bottle of Flash multi surface cleaner from Home Bargains For just under £1 for a 500mls bottle. I hadn't tried this product before but do like the flash with Bleach but thought this might be slightly milder. I have to admit the colour did attract me as it is a transparent bottle and the purple liquid was visible. I do generally use Cilit bang as a multi surface cleaner as I have been so impressed with the results but still like to try other products.
The bottle has a trigger handle and a small nozzle so is quite accurate shot. The bottle has a lift up catch which my son is easily able to operate so I do have to make sure this is safely stored away.
The instructions are pretty straight forward and explain that spray the surface so that it is completely covered and then wipe over with a damp cloth. I does also advise to leave stains for two minutes if stubborn stain. While it is a multi surface cleaner it does advise to test on small area when cleaning paint work.
When I first used it the smell was a little disappointed. It claims on the bottle to be lavender and chamomile but it was more of a sweet chemical smell. I used this on work surfaces, cleaning the bathroom and the bathroom floor.
I did find this extremely easy to use and took very little time. It also did mean when I was cleaning the bathroom floor it didn't take long to dry. I did feel I needed to scrub the bath more than usual. My son has been given some bath crayons for his birthday and despite wiping away before I empty the bath I do find the bath has the odd crayon make on. This seemed be a job a little too tough for this product. I found that the surfaces did clean but found that my taps did not shine in the way that the do with clit bang .I did find that it worked well on the kitchen bin I was happy with the results on my floor. While the smell is quite strong it had completely vanished within an hour.
This Cleaner does do the job but not well enough for me to repurchase instead of my favoured Cilit bang. I am not recommending this as I do think there are better products out there for the same price.
Cleaning products that come in spray bottles are so useful, there is far less chance that there will be any substantial spillage for starters, the nozzle can be aimed directly at the spot that you are trying to clean and the amount of cleaner that you use is monitored.
I have long been a fan of Flash and I used to like the Flash powder that you used to be able to buy but unless I have been walking about with my eyes closed I haven't seen any in the shops for ages.
The normal RRP for the 500ml bottle of Flash is around £1.55p, now I would hesitate to pay that amount, I can always seem to find it on offer in one or other of the stores.
I aim to pay little more than £1 for my 500ml bottle.
Usually I buy the Flash lemon multi-purpose spray, I love the smell. The lemon spray looks fresh, it smells super and although the smell doesn't last long it does make you feel that you have done a good job.
Well, to tell you the truth the choice wasn't mine the other day, the Flash spray was on offer in Wilkinson's and it was priced at 99p - but not a bottle of lemon Flash to be seen. The wire basket was chock a block with the Flash lavender and chamomile multi-purpose cleaner. I had to investigate the situation a bit further because the lavender and chamomile Flash spray is in my opinion a `murky lavender` colour and one that I am not at all smitten with.
The bottle of lavender Flash multi-purpose cleaner entered my trolley and the deal was done, for 99p who was I to argue ?
The Flash liquid comes in a plastic bottle that can be recycled, the bottle has a trigger top and the nozzle can be turned on and off by rotating the end of the nozzle.
The bottle is well shaped, easy to hold and because it is only slim you can store it in the cupboard or under the basin out of sight.
Once a week I give my bathroom a darn good shift ( that was an expression that my Mum used to use !), in other words I use a far stronger cleaner to make sure that all of the dirt, grime and scum are sent packing.
In between I use the Flash spray mainly because it is quick and handy, it only takes a few seconds to use and it leaves the bathroom feeling fresh and clean.
When I used the lavender and chamomile Flash spray for the first time I instantly knew we were going to need a bonding session. Earlier in the review I mentioned that in my opinion the liquid has a murky colour, well I feel that it has an unusual smell attached to it too !
I was expecting a gentle fragrance that would make me feel tranquil as I rubbed the cloth around the china and in fact what I could smell was something akin to a `musty chemical` odour with a touch of lavender thrown in for good measure.
That is not to say that the Flash spray is not effective because it is, the liquid quickly removes light tide marks and small unwanted stains.
The Flash lavender and chamomile spray is just not for me, I have decided that I am definitely a `lemon` woman.
I expect that there will be many who favour the lavender and chamomile spray but this one won't be wending it's way into my Wilkinson's trolley again.
I got this bottle of Flash because there was a 50% extra free label on it and I always like to get as much for my money as I can. It's lavender and camomile fields fragranced and is suitable for all the rooms that need cleaning because it is a One For All spray.
It sprays easy out of the bottle and comes out in quite a wide spray so I can cover the area I want to clean quickly and easily. It has a beautiful fresh smell that makes the whole room smell wicked and I was happy that the smell of the lavender isn't too strong because I think that can get overpowering sometimes.
You just spray it on and wipe it off with either a dry or wet cloth but if you have a stain somewhere you can leave it on for 3 minutes and it will get rid of it.
This spray leaves areas with a nice shine but doesn't make it sticky or anything like can happen with some cleaners. I used it to help my mum clean the kitchen and it was brill because it took all the hard work out of it and left the surfaces sparkling clean.
This Flash is even good on greasy areas because I did the cooker after I'd used the frying pan and it got rid of all the greasy mess straight away. I used it on the kitchen sink as well and that came up proper clean even though my dad is always pouring tea into the sink and getting it stained with them horrible brown stains.
I used it in the bathroom as well and it got the skirting boards and sink and toilet up clean with hardly and scrubbing and left the room smelling fresh and dead clean. I liked how shiny it made the bathroom sink and how easy it got rid of the make up and toothpaste marks that are always left in there.
I'll definitely buy this again because it's a wicked smell and made cleaning the house quick and easy.
This is absolutely one of my favourite cleaning products, it usually costs around £1.50 for a 500ml bottle, which is pretty standard compared to other alternative products.
I just love the smell of this product, the combination of lavendar and camomile is gorgeous, it's a smell that always makes me feel really relaxed - it must be the camomile! It's the type of smell, that unlike many cleaning products you like your kitchen to smell of after you have finished cleaning.
The product itself is of course lavendar coloured, it is suitable for use on most non-porous surfaces and as a multi-surface product you can use it anywhere in the house. I often use it in the bathroom if I'm just cleaning quickly and it is just as effective as using a specialised bathroom cleaning product.
I usually do use this product in the kitchen though and I find that it cleans even through fairly tough stains like those on the hob quite easily and leaves all surfaces shiny and smear free, which is important as I hate to clean up mess and then have to then clean up the smeary marks made by cleaning
With a fantastic smell, great colour, effective cleaning and a reasonable price whats there not to like about this?
This product is very easy to get hold off- I have seen it in every supermarket I have been in and some if the discount stores although this may be a local thing. The one I bought was a 500l bottle for around £1.25 although you can get it in bigger bottles- which I have now purchased. It comes in a spray bottle with a green coloured sprayer and a clear plastic bottle with a lavender (surprise!) colour liquid inside.
Firstly the smell is divine, not one I can describe as such just to say its a lovely home smell, clean but not a chemical type smell, as if you have not cleaned at all. However then you look at your surfaces etc and are amazed, my black worktops in the kitchen come up a dream, it works well on all sorts of sticky messes (picture a toddler and his fingers!!). It also works well on upvc window frames etc, removes the grime and it takes them longer to get mucky.
I do now have the floor cleaner and just dilute some and fill a spray bottle as it works out cheaper and what it does to the floor is nothing short of a miracle. I have black floor tiles and they are always needing to be cleaned normally within half an hour of them being mopped but not with this it seems to keep them cleaner for longer. It not only cuts through the grime and grease but brings a lovely sheen to them without making them slippy at all.
Another quick thing it works so so well on garden furniture too.
I decided to buy this product because having cats means there is a lot of harmful products around and unfortunately they are like kids and you can't watch them every second of the day. So it had to be something that dries quickly.
For a 500ml bottle this costs about £1.59 in most supermarkets. I actually got mine on offer for £0.99 and love it.
The bottle - well it 's just like all other spray bottles of flash, white plastic with a green lid/trigger spray top. It has a white label on the front with the original Flash logo and Multi Surface underneath. On the back the label is blue and white, it gives you instructions on how to use product, ingredients and how to contact the company. The liquid in the bottle is purple and it's very clear through the plastic so easy not to mix it up with other flash products.
The Ingredients -
C9-11 Pareth-3
Sodium Cumenesulfonate
Sodium Carbonate
Sodium Diethylenetriamine Pentamethylene Phosphonate
Sodium Palm Kernelate
Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate
Sodium Citrate
Acrylic acid diquat copolymer
Dipropylene Glycol
Lauramine Oxide
Sodium Hydroxide
Butylphenyl Methylpropional
It doesn't show all these ingredients on the back but does have the website on the label so you can go and look at all ingredients -
www.info-pg.com. This site also shows a lot of other items as well.
It's actually quite a nice smell for a cleaner, it does have a hint of lavender but not over-powering. But the main smell does smell like most other flash products, but does make your surfaces smell fresh and clean.
It states on the back to spray surface until thoroughly covered then wipe of with a dry or damp cloth and for more soiled areas to leave on for 2 minutes. I actually rather leaving it on surface for a couple of minutes before wiping anyway whether surface has tougher soils or just crumbs just to give it time to work.
It is easy to use but I do tend to use a lot when spraying the surfaces. I would advise not to use too much because if there's too much it can make the worktops feel almost slimy and take ages to dry. With the right amount the worktops dry quickly and do leave them feeling very clean.
Definately a good product and would recommend using it for all areas. Even in your bathroom.
I first started using Flash Multi Surface Spray after the birth of my first child. I'm sure most of you know how much mess children makes and I wanted a product that would clean grimy mess, smell nice, contain anti bacterial agent and be safe to use on my baby's highchair.
After trying several products that I wasn't happy with I came across this product and fell in love instantly.
This product claims to kill 99.99% of bacteria which is very usefull with small children around. It's fantastic at cleaning all surfaces even stubborn stains and it leaves the surface gleaming every time.
It is very easy to use as it comes with a pump trigger and a little goes a very long way.
It has a very nice smell especially the lavender and camomile which is my personal favourite, it's not over powering but you can clearly smell the fresh, clean scent in the air after you ahve used it.
I use it on all my kitchen worktops, taps, shower screen and cooker and it does a fantastic job at cleaning them all. It truly deserves the title multi surface as it can clean almost anything.
It is competatively priced for the cleaning spray market and as so little does so much it goes a long, long way.
So pick this up and get scrubbing, your surfaces will never be so clean!
Wow What can I say about this product apart from it being a MUST in any home! ive always used various products around my home, I had seen the Flash Lavender and Camomile in stores before but A neighbour put me off lavender products as she said they smell like old biscuits but the lovely purple colour draws you towards it (purple is my fav colour) lol. I seen it on offer one day and i decided well it's worth a try if i dont like it then nothing lost as it was on offer, I have never looked back at all those other over powering smelly cleaing products! not only is it a lovely colour it smells lush! Flash is a superb cleaning product and very easy to use spray on the area needed and wipe with a damp or dry cloth and also can be used with cold water, It has the Active flashguard barrier which is a prevention of tough stains and always brill results , The smell is very refreshing which masks the horrible smell from some leading brands which doesnt fade too quick the smell lasts for a while, if you have sensitive or damaged skin they advise you not to have prolonged contact with the product but if it was me i'd just buy rubber gloves as this cleaning material is fantastic!, it is safe enough to use on any surface in any room although if it has a painted surface it is advised to try it on a hidden area first incase it takes the paintwork off.
it comes in 500ml spray bottles and refill bottles, It was voted Product of the year in 2008 Winner in the household cleaning category, which alone sounds promising without having reviews on it.
It's made by a company called Proctor & Gamble who is a well known company who also make other well known products like,
Febreze, Fairy, Duracell batteries, Pampers, Kandoo, Gillette even Boss and lacoste fragrances only to mention a few well known products,
I would recommend flash lavender and camomile to anyone and everyone that knows me know I have an addiction to buying it! i have 2 bottle in my house at the moment I dont only use it for cleaning, After ive hoovered my home I have a bottle thats been diluted with water and once I've finished hoovering I go around the house and spray ALL my carpets curtains etc with it it makes the house smell so fresh! esp as I have a dog in my home it gets rid of doggy smells I stay in a block of flats and once i've sprayed my house with it anyone who comes into the block can smell it as soon as they walk through the door at the bottom it even left the block smelling lovely and I'm 3rd floor up! lol
in my opinion I would recommend this amazing product to ANYONE it is a must in everyones house
I picked a bottle of this up a while ago as it was on special offer at the time and I have never looked back.
It has the usual great cleaning action of Flash with the added bonus of not smelling to chemically. My hubby used to hate using the kitchen after it had just been cleaned as other cleaning products would smell so strong that they would make him gag. This has a pleasent Lavender & Camomile fragrance without being overpowering it disguises the chemical smells you normally get from cleaning products.
Flash have also recently introduced their 'Flashguard' ingredients which are supposed to help stop grime sticking after you have used it to make cleaning next time easier. I can't say that I have noticed a vast difference in stuff sticking to my tiles and work surfaces but then I have always found Flash products to be good at removing grime anyway.
It comes in a trigger spray bottle and is normally a 500ml bottle, at Tesco this costs £1.58. The liquid is a lavender colour.

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
As the potential health benefits of probiotics and prebiotics have come to light in recent years, many people are interested in learning what they are, how they work and the strength of the science behind the claims.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria which, when consumed in adequate amounts, provide a health benefit as the result of their presence in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The most common type of probiotics are strains of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria, which are found in yogurts and other cultured dairy products. Probiotics are also added to a variety of fortified foods and beverages and are available as dietary supplements.
Consumption of probiotics is thought to increase the number of helpful bacteria in the GI tract, while at the same time reducing (inhibiting the growth of) harmful bacteria. This function has been linked to providing a variety of health benefits.
The most widely researched health benefit is in the area of anti-diarrhoeal effects, with the strongest evidence related to their use in preventing and treating diarrhoea illnesses in children.
There is also some evidence to suggest that probiotics:
There are some major limitations with this research, however. Because there are so many strains of bacteria and the dosage can vary widely, the benefits of one strain cannot necessarily be inferred from another. Additionally, too few human trials have been done to draw any firm conclusions.
Prebiotics are nondigestible food components that stimulate the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria ('probiotics') in the colon. In other words, prebiotics are the 'food' for probiotics.
Prebiotics are found naturally in many foods in the food pyramid (e.g. whole grains, onions , bananas , garlic , honey , leeks , and artichokes) and can also be extracted from plants (e.g. inulin from chicory root). Many prebiotics are added to processed foods and beverages and are available as dietary supplements.
Although their major function is to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, certain prebiotics have been shown to increase the absorption of calcium. Furthermore, preliminary studies suggest that prebiotics may also have a favourable effect on the immune system and may reduce the risk for colorectal diseases.
While there is research to support the beneficial health effects of specific pre- and probiotics, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions because their benefits vary depending on the type and amount consumed, and too few human trials have been done. Future studies using more consistent methods will provide a clearer understanding of probiotics and prebiotics and their direct effect on health.

Instituto Technológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (Monterrey, Mexico)
Requirements: Students must have at least sophomore standing with a cumulative 2.5 GPA and have had at least one year of Spanish before studying at Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM).
Financial Responsibilities: Students pay all tuition to Muskingum College as normal. Scholarships and financial aid still apply. STudents pay room costs to ITESM. In addition, students are responsible for transportation to and from Monterrey, proving they have health insurance as required by ITESM, class materials such as books, and any personal costs. **Be aware that Muskingum College insurance does not cover students while in Mexico. You must find an insurance plan that will cover you while you are studying in Mexico.
Room: Students can live in one of 16 residence halls, all of which are within short walking distance of the academic buildings. Each dormitory varies slightly; some offer single or double rooms, while others have apartments with two double rooms, each room sharing a lounge and kitchen. All rooms are furnished with a bed, desk, shelves, closet, wash stand, and mirror. Housekeeping services such as mopping, sweeping, and dusting are included in the housing price. Students need to bring their own bed linens and a lock for the closet. Bathrooms in the dormitory may be communal, private, or shared in a suite arrangement. Each room has internet hook-ups available. Self-service laundry facilities are offered in some residences.
Board: Since ITESM does not provide meals, students must purchase and prepare meals for themselves. Students need to provide their own cooking utensils. Mexican cuisine varies by region, but ingredients most commonly used are corn, tomatoes, chilies, beans, and fruits such as mango and papaya. Many different herbs flavor the beef, chicken, and fish used in a variety of dishes. Mexicans often prepare these items in sauces, soups, or stews.
Classes: Students take classes designed specifically for international students, and can choose to enroll in any other course at ITESM, language proficiency permitting. Class size at ITESM is usually 40 students. In addition to Spanish language classes, course offerings include Mexican Culture, Mexican History, Political Systems in Latin America, and Latin American Literature. Many of these classes could be transferred as LAE credit.
About Monterrey: Monterrey is surrounded by the Sierra Madre Mountains in northeastern Mexico. For those who love the outdoors, the city is only 20 minutes from Chipinque National Park. Monterrey is known as one of the safest cities in Mexico. The city offers many diversions such as the Gran Plaza, the Tower of Commerce, Barrio Antiguo, the cathedral, and many museums. Barrio Antiguo, or the old town, is the center of Monterrey's night life; the police close the streets to traffic on the weekends. Monterrey also boasts bullfights, soccer matches, live concerts, and a zoo. Garza Garcia, an affluent suburb of the city, is home to many attractions as well such as the observatory Planetario Alfa and many high quality restaurants.

Successful Criminal Prosecution by Code Strike Teams
Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs

First Successful Criminal Prosecution by Enhanced Code Enforcement Strike Teams
Fairfax County's Enhanced Code Enforcement Strike Teams successfully prosecuted their first criminal case last week.
Raimundo Guevara, co-owner of 6306 Dana Ave., Springfield, was convicted in circuit court for violating the fire safety code. His misdemeanor conviction resulted in a $1,000 fine. The county also is pursuing a civil case against Guevara for overcrowding, a violation of the county's zoning ordinance.
"This conviction sends a message that illegal boarding houses and unsafe living conditions will not be tolerated in Fairfax County," said Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly.
Guevara was issued a criminal summons on March 29 for violating section 1027.3 of the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. He failed to appear in court on June 12, and the case was tried in his absence.
Fire marshals cited Guevara for a blocked emergency exit in the single-family house at 6306 Dana Ave. A door — the only means of escape from two bedrooms during a fire — was locked with a deadbolt and blocked with furniture.
To date, the strike teams are pursuing investigations or prosecutions in 47 cases, including 6306 Dana Ave.
The teams are responsible for inspecting residential properties suspected to be illegal boarding houses or with suspected violations. As part of the initiative, the county also will seek to prosecute landlords who are profiting from systematically violating zoning, building and safety ordinances. Residents can report a suspected illegal boarding house at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/striketeam.
For more information, call Merni Fitzgerald, Office of Public Affairs, at 703-324-3187, TTY 711.

'After no scoring in the first period, Columbus would get on the board as Michael Peca chipped in a rebound by Ryan Miller to give the Blue Jackets a 1-0 lead six and a half minutes into the second. The Sabres then got into penalty trouble and with Andrej Sekera already in the box for taking an interference penalty, Henrik Tallinder held up Rick Nash on a break that would turn into a penalty shot for Nash but Miller stood tall putting aside the wrist shot. Nash made sure to hit the back of the net during the same penalty to Sekera as he made it 2-0 with less than seven minutes left in the period.'

OAKLAND — A group of about 200 protesters denouncing police violence in the wake of the fatal shooting of an unarmed man near St. Louis marched around Oakland and into Berkeley Friday night.
Two people were arrested in Berkeley, and an Oakland police officer was also pepper-sprayed, Oakland police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said Saturday.
The marchers met around 6 p.m. Friday near Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, the site of a peaceful rally Thursday afternoon. A national moment of silence was held Thursday to recognize the death of Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by a police officer this week in the suburban St. Louis town of Ferguson, Missouri.
Marchers in Oakland started moving south down Broadway around 6:30 p.m., heading past the headquarters of the Oakland Police Department and under Interstate 880, where police — some in riot helmets — blocked on- and offramps to prevent protesters from marching onto the freeway.
The group then headed into West Oakland, chanting "Hands up, don't shoot" at times, a refrain that has spread from protests in Ferguson across the country. Police briefly scuffled with a handful of protesters on Third Street near Castro Street before the group headed north.
Shortly after 8 p.m., the group was back at the intersection of 14th Street and Broadway. An unidentified person set off fireworks, but the march remained peaceful. The march headed north on Telegraph Avenue into Uptown.
Around 9 p.m., protesters were met at the California Highway Patrol headquarters near Interstate 580 by a row of CHP officers stationed in front of the building in riot helmets. The group continued north and reached the Temescal neighborhood, where windows at a bank and a yarn store were smashed.
At some point during the melee, an Oakland police officer was pepper-sprayed. It was not immediately known where or what time that took place or who sprayed the officer.
About 10:15 p.m., the dwindling group was met by a line of police officers at Telegraph Avenue and Parker Street in South Berkeley. At least one person was taken into custody during a standoff. The remaining group — several dozen people — made their way onto the UC Berkeley campus, then into downtown Berkeley at 11 p.m.
Shortly after, protesters damaged property in the 2800 block of Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley police Officer Jennifer Coats said Saturday.
During the demonstration, a trash can was set on fire near the intersection of Telegraph Avenue and Haste Street and was quickly extinguished by Berkeley officers.
Taylor Tengwall, a 24-year-old Berkeley man, was arrested on suspicion of resisting or obstructing a police officer, and Lael Montgomery, 19, of Vallejo was arrested on suspicion of attempting to take a weapon other than a firearm from a police officer and on suspicion of resisting or obstructing a police officer. Both were taken to Berkeley City Jail, Coats said.
Aside from the Oakland officer being pepper-sprayed, no injuries were reported in connection to the protest.
