For several weeks now i've been doing a bit of testing in our home kitchen with a very cheap and second hand Thai Kiwi knife & a newly bought Zanussi polyethylene cutting board.
Got the knife for free from one of the Chefs i sharpen for, the tip being a bit bent from prying.
He bought it while on holiday for less than 5 euro, but although it cut well he didn't really like it as both the blade and the handle were too small for him (plus he's more into Japanese knives).
He did say however that these Kiwi knives are becoming a trend with a growing number of his professional colleagues.
This Kiwi knife is really cheap, very stainless, very lightweight, thin bladed, and the edge can easily be kept frighteningly sharp with just a mirror steel and/or a ceramic rod.
The simple wooden handle is nothing special, but so far it works well.
The blade steel itself isn't very hard, but with a thin relief bevel (mine is ~20 degrees inclusive) and a freehand microbevel of ~30 degrees inclusive done on a DMT red diafold the edge manages to stay arm hair shaving sharp on skin level for over a week in my kitchen use.
What absolutely kills it is trying to cut just one fresh crusted bread, then the edge looks like i've been sawing through a brick, and i have to reset the entire relief bevel on the Tormek again.
If i don't try to cut hard food like this the edge seems to hold up just fine.
Currently i'm applying the microbevel with an oiled Spyderco white ceramic stick to see how a bit finer edge performs and holds up.
An important part in all of this is the cutting board, as it's surface has to be very edge-friendly to get the maximum edge life out of these Kiwi knives, and so far i think i've found a very good performing one, made from polyethylene by Zanussi (on the bay for 16 euro including shipping from England to the Netherlands)

Re: Thai Kiwi knife & Zanussi cutting board
Hi I don't know much about those knives it looks like a good one. Be careful with the plastic cutting board they are hard to keep clean bacteria gets in there. I just want you to be safe. I also use plastic cutting boards, but I get mine at Ikea they're only like an eighth of an inch thick once they get a little cut up and ugly I just use a new one.

Leaves and sawdust are all that were found in a two-year-old Pit Bull mix dog's stomach. Thanks to a concerned citizen from Youngstown, Ohio, the complaint came in which first alerted authorities to the dog.
On arrival to the residence, a humane agent from Animal Charity found the dead dog chained to a doghouse in James Antwon Jones' back yard.
Jones was indicted on felony animal charges and will have his day in court soon. He was indicted under Goddard's Law which makes cruelty to companion animals a felony charge.
Sadly, the organization responsible for this case and many others is in financial trouble.
"Animal charges are very specific," Animal Charity's Mary Louk shared. "It's very different than having a charge for a human crime and this is what we're not going to have available for us in Mahoning County if Animal Charity isn't here."
More about the case against Jones and the future of Animal Charity can be viewed by pressing play on the video below.

On Tuesday night the Jordan School District Board of Education held a Truth in Taxation Hearing regarding a proposed tax increase to raise teacher salaries.
The Board voted unanimously in favor of the tax increase. This means that each licensed employee will receive an increase of $6,075 over last year's pay. The starting salary for teachers in the District is $48,000 for the 2019-2020 school year.
Thank you, teachers, for your hard work and dedication on behalf of students.

Firm offers quick fix for producers
A SUNSHINE company has offered $500,000 worth of its revolutionary fertiliser to help get Queensland's food bowls producing again.
Dr Grow It All, based at Eumundi, is seeking support from transport companies and tank suppliers to help shift 125,000 litres of its fertiliser concentrate to areas like the Lockyer Valley and Bundaberg.
Diluted, the concentrate can make up to 12,500,000 litres of fertiliser.
Poultry manure and sawdust are combined as the source of nutrients/carbon and are then processed by adding a special organic-based formula in the final product.
The liquid can be regularly applied through existing irrigation.
Established by Danny Hood and Dave Lovegrove, Dr Grow It All says it offers a range of applications that can help counteract top soil loss and total leaching of nutrients.
Mr Hood said yesterday that as a former farmer he understood the hardship growers would face during post-flood recovery.
He said every effort to help would benefit all Australians.
Without rapid recovery of the farming sector everyone would be affected in some way, including food shortages and price increases.
Horticultural scientist Rob Abbas said consumers could look forward to months of shortages and increased prices because of the floods.
He said even in Gympie, if it stopped raining now it would be April at the earliest before planting could start and eight weeks after that before produce would be ready for market.
In the Lockyer Valley, which has heavier soils and a horrendous top soil loss, it would be at least two months before farmers could plant and another six weeks before markets would see quick-growing crops like lettuce delivered.
The Stanthorpe region, which supplies much of the state's vegetables, has also been affected.
Dr Grow it All has yet to begin market its product range, but claims to have run thorough scientific tests and field trials on the product for consistently outstanding results.
The directors are looking for support from other Coast companies to provide a 46,000-litre holding tank for the fertiliser at their processing plant and transportation to farms and regional distribution points.
Depending on the application, the concentrate can be used at rates as little as 10mm per litre. One thousand litres of the concentrate is about the equivalent of a tonne of fertiliser.
Anyone who can help should contact Danny Hood on 0418 795 531 or Dave Lovegrove on 0412 831 828.

Crime Writer Vicki Delany Bares All For Open Book
Vicki Delany is one of Canada's most varied and prolific crime writers. Her popular Constable Molly Smith series (including In the Shadow of the Glacier and Among the Departed) have been optioned for TV by Brightlight Pictures. She writes standalone novels of modern gothic suspense such as Burden of Memory and More than Sorrow, as well as a light-hearted historical series, (Gold Digger, Gold Mountain), set in the raucous heyday of the Klondike Gold Rush. She sat down to bare all in a Q + A ...
C: You're one of the most prolific writers I know. You also jump effortlessly between styles and genres, from historical to police procedural. Describe an average week in your writing life.
V: An average week for me is pretty easy to describe. I write every morning for about 3 to 4 hours, seven days a week. In the afternoon, I do whatever non-book writing is required, such as this interview. I'm lucky enough to have been able to take early retirement from my job as a systems analyst in a major bank, and now writing is my full-time job. But it wasn't always like this. My first book took over four years to write with the job and the family. I do write in different styles and I find that I have to stick strictly to whatever style of book I'm doing until it's finished. No jumping between books or I'd get confused. I'll also mention that I read. A lot. I don't have a TV and I rarely go to movies.
C: A lot of writers say they've written for as long as they can remember, or that they always knew they wanted to be a writer. You came to writing later in life. What got you hooked? Did you have any idea say 20 years ago that would be dedicating so much of your life to writing and publishing?
V: Twenty years ago, I would have had no idea whatsoever that I'd be doing this. But I am so glad that I am. I started out in my writing path thinking I might like to write for children. I took a creative writing course at the community college with that thought in mind. I very quickly decided I did not want to write for children, but I was enjoying the course so I thought, what could I write instead? Ta da! Why not write what I love to read.
C: Let's chat about the Norwegians. What have the Norwegians got that we haven't? We've got cold weather, staid cities, good social programs. So we don't go crazy for dried codfish, we do have a deep pool of very talented crime writers. Why do the Norwegians get so much attention? Why do I feel so aggrieved when I see Karen Fossum's books pushing mine to the bottom row of the book shelf?
V: What do the Norwegians and Icelanders and Swedes have that we don't? I wish I knew. I suspect they have a supportive writing and publishing community. I'll quote Louise Penny who says that crime writers in Canada are still expected to sit at the children's table at the literary banquet. If we don't get no respect at home, it's hard to ask for it abroad. Sadly, it is still true that Canadian crime writers are told by agents or publishers to move their books to a U.S. setting if they want to have a chance at it getting any recognition. I'm lucky in that I am one of the few Canadian crime writers with a Canadian characters and Canadian settings published by an American Publisher.
C: Everyone these days has an opinion or projection of where publishing is headed. They use phrases like "publishing is changing", which one might take as code for "dying as we know it". Look into your crystal ball and tell me what you see for writers, readers and publishers in 2020.
V: I don't think publishing is going to change as much as some people expect. One big difference between the music industry and the book industry is libraries. Libraries buy a lot of books, but they buy books published by well-known publishers who put out catalogues. Publishing companies act as a gate-keeper and that's an important role. Yes, they keep a lot of good books out, but they also go through the slush pile so you don't have to. Self-publishing is a great option for people like Barry Eisler and Joseph Konrath who used the traditional publishing industry to learn their craft and to build up a network of followers. They can self-publish now knowing readers will search them out. Someone with a first book they've edited themselves? Unlikely.
C: P.D. James, who turned 90 this year, just released Death Comes to Pemberly to rave reviews. This seems so significant for a number of reasons, including the fact it makes me feel like maybe I've still got a few decades to get it right. What authors inspire you?
V: Peter Robinson is high on my list. He's been writing for a long time and the books keep getting better. Inspector Banks continues to get stronger as a character after some 18 books. I loved Peter's new book, Before the Poison, a standalone. I can say much the same for William Deverell. Speaking of Canadian fiction, I love how William never bothers to explain things only Canadians might know. In one of his books he refers in passing to Maher Arar. Don't know who that is? Tough. The rest of us, me included, always think we have to explain things to Americans. E.g. It was almost thirty degrees. A hot day.
C: Do you think writers can "write themselves out" or otherwise run out of things to say? Unlike P.D. James or Elmore Leonard, most writers seem to reach a point where the effort is no longer sustainable.
V: Yes. But some of them keep on writing and being bestsellers, because they're promoted as bestsellers, ego they are. Says more about the book-buying public than the publishing biz I think. Even dead people are churning out bestsellers these days.
C: Your Klondike series from Dundurn Press is a superb addition to the lacklustre fiction collection on this very wild and exciting time in Canadian history. What inspired you to set a mystery series in that time and place?
V: It is sad just how ignored Canadian history is in fiction (with a few notable exceptions). I was inspired to start the series when I was on a wilderness camping trip a few years ago. There were several Europeans in the group and I commented on how strange our ancestors would think of us paying good money for what they would have considered hardship. I started telling the group about the Chilkoot trail and the struggle people went through to get to the Klondike. And I thought – that would make an interesting book. I've been to Dawson City, fascinating place. Of course it's very different today than it was back then. The Klondike gold rush is actually quite easy to research. There are so many historical accounts, and what's unusual for a writer of history - so many photographs. What's important about the Klondike, in terms of Canadian history, is what a uniquely Canadian event it was. The police were there first, and when all those miners and prospectors crossed the border what they found was the waiting arm of the law. In the year of the heyday of the rush, 1898, there was not a single murder in Dawson City. Why? Something to do with a ban on firearms perhaps, or the presence of a professional police force?
C: Crime writers get dissed in a number of ways, including the insinuation that crime writing and good writing are mutually exclusive. Crime writers are most visibly absent from the major literary awards, including the Giller and GG's despite the fact far more people read crime than general literary fiction. Will we ever see a day when this is not the case?
V: Probably not. The Canadian literary establishment is too traditional, too wrapped up in a post-colonial mindset. If they started letting crime books in, where would all those writers of dreary pretentious tomes get work? And where would they get money, if they had to compete with crime writers for grants? Not from the sales of their books. Again, there are notable and worthy exceptions.
C: You have literally travelled the world this year. How has travel informed your world view and changed or inspired your writing?
V: My travels have certainly informed my world view, but I can't say that they've affected my writing except that I am how I write. I lived in South Africa for eleven years under apartheid. So I know something about power and oppression.
C: Three great book recommendations ....
V: Only Three! I'm afraid I'll have to pass on mentioning my personal friends. The Canadian crime writing community is very close and I have made so many good friends who write wonderful books. To mention three would be to slight the fourth… and the fifth…. I'll also limit my recommendations to books recently read, otherwise I'd never be able to narrow it down.
As previously mentioned, I loved Peter Robinson's standalone , Before the Poison. Unexpectedly it's a modern gothic, which is a genre I love and also write in. (More than Sorrow, coming Sept 2012 from Poisoned Pen Press). I didn't think men could write gothic or that gothics could feature male protagonists. I was wrong. The only thing that makes this a crime novel is that in the past a crime was committed (or was it?) and the protagonist is attempting to uncover the truth. No shootouts, no fist fights, no cops, no robbers. No formula. Just a good story well told. That Robinson has never received any prominent Canadian literary award is indicative of what we discussed earlier. He's dismissed in some quarters because he writes 'mysteries'.
I loved The Ridge by Michael Koryta. The writing itself is simply amazing, an example of truly literary writing in a crime novel.
My third pick is William Deverell's I'll See You in my Dreams. The writing is exceptional, particularly the way Deverell can write the same character as a nervous, awkward young man, and then as an experienced old man reaching the end of his career. Deverell is a master at slipping touches of comedy into a book that is emotionally very moving and deals with serious social issues.
C: What's your funniest story about an in-store author event or behind-the-scenes at a conference? Got any gossip you want to share?
V: My very first booksigning was at a store in London alongside my good friend the writer and musician Rick Blechta. Scare the Light Away is a standalone suspense novel in which a woman reads her mother's lost diary of being a war bride, and thus uncovers the secret of her past. An elderly lady came up to our table and I began my sales pitch. Her face began to crumble. Tears began to flow. "I don't… think I'd… care for that," she sobbed. "My husband died a year ago. I'm reading his journals. I thought I knew him…. But I didn't. " Whereupon she burst into tears and fled.
Not funny at the time, I can tell you. It's a wonder I ever did another book signing.
Gossip, oh, I know so much gossip. But you'll have to wait. Here's a tip – if you want to know what's happening in crime writing in Canada, meet the authors, talk about the books, and maybe even hear some gossip, you have two opportunities. Bloody Words, the Canadian mystery convention, is being held in Toronto this year on June 1 – 3rd. (http://bloodywords2012.com/). In August, it's the Scene of the Crime Festival, the only festival devoted strictly to Canadian crime writing, on Wolfe Island on August 11th. (www.sceneofthecrime.ca)

One of the greatest events in the life of an overcomer, is the transformation that takes place as we pass from a servant to a friend. "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my father I have made known unto you."(St. Jn. 15:15) As a servant, we relate to Moses, and the bondage of the Law. "And Moses verily was faithful in all his house,as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house, whose house are we,if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end" (Heb.3: 5-6) This is why Peter admonishes us to grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord.
Moses' words come with a veil, which shroud the clearness, and can represent death. Remember the old custom,as the grieving widow wore a veil over her face at the husband's funeral. The scripture calls this "a ministration of death". Also Moses was called servant; this typifies the relationship of Master over servant.It speaks of the absence of Love, and doing service because you have to. How many times have you deduced from someone's conversation, they serve God to keep from going to hell? This brings clarity to the words of Jesus; "the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth". Intimacy with Jesus is not experienced by servants.They cannot know what the "sacred secrets" of Jesus' heart is all about !! As we develop a "face to face" relationship with Jesus, we discover true friendship. "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you,..."(St. Jn.15:16) God's Remnant Seed, has access to "All Things", "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him".(Matt.12:27) To us the parables come alive with new meaning, while servants see only the outward, surface meaning. To His "chosen friends" the deep calleth unto the deep, meaning God's secrets and trusted revelations are given to us. Thank God !!
St. Jn. chapter 17, is known as "Jesus' High Priestly Prayer" ; "Neither pray I for these alone ( his twelve disciples) but for them also which shall believe on me through their word".(St. Jn.17:20) Thank God, Jesus prayed for you and me also!! The words of Jesus may now come alive to His Elect; "For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me".(St. Jn.17:8) Here the "words" that he gave us have significant meaning. From the Strong's Concordance, we're told "words" here is the Greek word "Rhema". It is no longer a dead letter heard by a servant's ear. But to Him who has "Ears to Hear" it is words directly from the Spirit, and they bring "life and light" Rhema carries with it the idea of "flowing as a stream of water". "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." (St. Jn.6:63)
The life of God comes as we receive His words, hearing is not enough, we must assimilate His words into our very being, making them a part of us. This allows quickening to take place. One Dictionary says of "quickening" it is to vitalize or invigorate. The truth is, the living word takes death out of us and replaces it with the Life of God, Abundant, Eternal and Everlasting. Praise His Name!!

Man jailed for dangerous driving after crashing at high speed
Tuesday 11 Feb 2020
A man who crashed into another vehicle at high speed has been jailed.
25-year-old Dafydd John Parry of Cemaes Bay, Anglesey was sentenced at Caernarfon Crown Court yesterday (Monday) following the incident on the evening of July 11th last year.
At around 7:30pm an officer from the Roads Policing Unit was on patrol on the A5025 near Amlwch when Parry drove past him at speed whilst heading out of Amlwch.
The officer followed Parry, who was driving a silver Volkswagen Golf, but Parry continued to drive at speeds up to 75mph in a 30mph zone down Madyn Road when he collided with a white Mitsubishi that was emerging from a side road.
The Golf collided with the Mitsubishi before hitting a stone wall.
Both drivers were taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor and later released.
Dafydd John Parry was later interviewed by officers and was charged with dangerous driving, fail to stop, driving without a licence or insurance and for having two defective tyres.
The Golf had two worn front tyres, defective brakes and no valid MOT.
He was sentenced to 10 months in prison and disqualified from driving for two years and five months where he must pass an extended driving test.
PC Scott Martin from the Roads Policing Unit said: "This could easily have been a fatal road traffic collision due to the speed that Parry was driving in a built up area. The collision also occurred a stone's throw from a children's playground and it doesn't bear thinking about what could have happened.
"Parry had no consideration for others as he drove dangerously that evening and we hope the sentence handed by the court will send out a very clear message that anyone convicted of such offences will be dealt with robustly."

As CBD becomes an increasingly popular option for people looking for additions to their natural lifestyle, a growing number of options are available for consuming this plant-based molecule. The majority of the CBD products you see advertised today are sourced from the hemp plant, specifically from variations that have been bred to be high in CBD and low in THC.
If you're thinking about making CBD part of your lifestyle, odds are that convenience and ease of use are major priorities for you. If so, good news – there's no shortage of ways you can consume CBD, so you should be able to easily find one that matches your preferences. On the flip side, having so many choices can sometimes feel overwhelming.
We're breaking down the most common ways to consume CBD, to help you decide which ones might best fit your preferences.
CBD Tinctures
CBD tinctures are most commonly offered in oil form, intended to be used in spray or dropper form. CBD Tinctures are made through numerous ways, though the most common methods include using supercritical CO2 gas or steeping in a suitable carrier while gently heating the mixture. While some enjoy the natural flavors of hemp, oftentimes essential oils or added flavors are used to make the concentrated CBD more palatable. Ultimately, the extraction process largely depends on the individual manufacturer's choice, though most tend towards the supercritical CO2 extraction method.
When you're shopping for CBD tinctures, you can find a variety of options at many different price points and varying levels of CBD concentration. This can make tinctures a desirable option for many CBD users because it offers certain flexibility in addition to them being very easy to use.
CBD Edibles
Many CBD retailers carry a varied selection of CBD edibles, primarily leaning towards dessert-inspired options. There are CBD gummies, CBD-infused chocolates, CBD baked goods and more, giving you many choices that are both convenient and delicious. This category also includes CBD pills and capsules. Going the edibles route is so popular because it makes CBD consumption incredibly easy, straightforward, and occasionally tasty too!
CBD Topicals
CBD topicals include balms, salves, creams, and more, and are commonly applied directly to a specific target area on the skin. Most formulations combine the CBD extract with ingredients such as beeswax or coconut oil, making it easier to spread onto the skin. These products are specifically designed for users that are interested in the topical use of CBD, as opposed to oral ingestion methods.
When you're choosing CBD topicals, it's important to pay attention to the other ingredients included in the formulation. Always seek out the highest quality CBD products with freely-available Certificates of Analysis, especially those that you want to incorporate as part of meeting your CBD goals.
CBD Oil
CBD oils are a combination of a CBD extract and different carrier oils. CBD oils and CBD tinctures are often presented as different products, but the terms are largely interchangeable. CBD oil is simply another name for an oil-based CBD tincture. Some CBD tinctures may include glycerin or alcohol-based CBD extracts and may use essential oils for flavorings, but the name – tincture or oil – essentially indicates the same type of product.
You may see certain CBD oils labeled as "full-spectrum," which is an oil that contains CBD as well as many of the other plant compounds of the hemp plant, including vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, terpenes, and other cannabinoids.
One of the most common questions about CBD focuses on how to use CBD oil. In comparing different consumption options, most people agree that CBD oil offers the greatest flexibility. CBD oils make it easy to change up the way you consume the product and are an extremely versatile option.
Vaping CBD
Another way to consume CBD is via vaping, a method that uses a vape device. The CBD vape juice (also referred to as e-liquid or e-juice) is produced using CBD extract and a variety of other ingredients that have been specifically formulated to work with the vaporizer device. The device heats up the concentrated CBD liquid to its specific vaporization temperature, transforming it into a vapor. Many CBD vape juices also include flavorings to make the experience more enjoyable.
One of the benefits of vaping CBD is that it's fairly easy to learn and do successfully. Many people find vaping CBD a very enjoyable and positive experience. For many CBD users, vaping is their preferred consumption method, while others choose it as just one of a few different ways they consume CBD.

Sophos have reported on the current attack trends in which attackers are raising the stakes in ransomware by increasing stealth in malicious Android apps, exploiting misconfiguration in the cloud and abusing machine learning.
During the launch of Sophos 2020 Threat Report that provides insights into the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape, produced by SoophosLabs researchers, the security experts explored changes in the threat landscape over the past 12 months, uncovering trends likely to impact cybersecurity in 2020.
"The threat landscape continues to evolve - and the speed and extent of that evolution is both accelerating and unpredictable," said John Shier - Senior Security Advisor at Sophos.
The 2020 Threat Report looks at how current trends might impact the world over the coming year and further highlights how adversaries are becoming ever stealthier, better at exploiting mistakes, hiding their activities and evading detection technologies and more, in the cloud, through mobile apps and inside networks. The only certainty we have is what is happening right now.
The report is not so much a map as a series of signposts to help defenders better understand what they could face in the months ahead, and how to prepare.
The SophosLabs 2020 Threat Report, which is also summarized in a SophosLabs Uncut article, focuses on six areas where researchers noted particular developments during this past year. Among those expected to have significant impact on the cyberthreat landscape into 2020 and beyond are the following:
Ransomware attackers continue to raise the stakes with automated active attacks that turn organizations' trusted management tools against them, evade security controls and disable back ups in order to cause maximum impact in the shortest possible time.
Unwanted apps are edging closer to malware. In a year that brought the subscription-abusing Android Fleeceware apps and ever more stealthy and aggressive adware, the Threat Report highlights how these and other potentially unwanted apps (PUA), like browser plug-ins, are becoming brokers for delivering and executing malware and fileless attacks.
The greatest vulnerability for cloud computing is misconfiguration by operators. As cloud systems become more complex and more flexible, operator error is a growing risk. Combined with a general lack of visibility, this makes cloud computing environments a ready made target for cyberattackers.
Machine learning designed to defeat malware finds itself under attack. 2019 was the year when the potential of attacks against machine learning security systems were highlighted. Research showed how machine learning detection models could possibly be tricked, and how machine learning could be applied to offensive activity to generate highly convincing fake content for social engineering. At the same time, defenders are applying machine learning to language as a way to detect malicious emails and URLs. This advanced game of cat and mouse is expected to become more prevalent in the future.
ered in the 2020 Threat Report include the danger of failing to spot cybercriminal reconnaissance hidden in the wider noise of internet scanning, the continuing attack surface of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), and the further advancement of automated active attacks (AAA).

In the world of mango lovers, probably the only one reason we don't mind bearing the scorching heat in summer is because we can relish The Mangoes then; however the season is almost going to end this year. Seldom do I get a chance to attempt any recipe trials with ripe mangoes as they don't remain after getting ripe. This time it was whole wheat mango muffins piped with mango cream using a milk cover and no nozzle.

For Muffin
- 1. Whole wheat flour - 1 1/2 cups
- 2. Powdered demerara sugar - 1/2 cup (add 3/4 cup if mango is not very sweet)
- 3. Baking Powder - 1 tsp
- 4. Baking soda - 1 pinch
- 5. Butter - 1/3 cup
- 6. Mango puree - 3/4 cup
- 7. Vanilla extract - 3-5 drops
- 8. Finely chopped mango - 2 tbsp (optional)
For Garnish
- 1. Whipping cream - 1/2 cup
- 2. Mango Puree - 3 tbsp
- 3. Castor sugar - 1 tbsp (if mango puree isn't sweet enough)
- 4. Cherries - 8 (optional)
- 5. Finely chopped mango - 2 tbsp (optional)
For Muffin
- Take all dry ingredients for muffin into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Add Melted butter, mango puree, vanilla extract and beat until well blended. Add few drops of milk if the necessary to get pouring consistency of a cake batter (Some variety of mangoes give thick puree while other are watery).
- Fold in the mango chunks into batter if using them.
- Half fill in greased muffin moulds and bake at 200 degrees C in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes depending on the size of muffin moulds. Check with a inserted toothpick.
- Unmould muffins once the temperature comes down a bit. Cool them in cake racks until they come to room temperature. If we pipe on hot muffin, beware the cream is going to melt and mess up the whole lot.
For Garnish
- Now take the chilled whipping cream and beat until single peak consistency. Gently fold in mango puree (and sugar if using). Fill this mango cream in a piping bag and fit a nozzle of your choice. I simple used a milk cover and cut the tip with scissors.
- Pipe over the muffins and garnish with cherries and mango chunks.
- Remember you cannot reheat muffins after garnish as the cream would melt; and refrigeration will cause the hardness of muffin. So preferably pipe the cream just before serving, on the other hand prepared mango cream can be refrigerated until use.

Vallet "Spring Day" is a collaboration of Busso Interior DesignWith the Japanese designer Kensaku Oshiro, the company founded in 1939 for many years collaborated with top designers reinterpreting trends and beauty of traditional and innovative materials.
"Spring Day is an idea I had in Japan during the spring, when the cherry blossom is the beginning of everything! That feeling of freshness of proven change in those days in Japan is almost think of a new life that was alive and present with me during the development of this project. On that occasion, we wear a dress that brings deep meanings and represents a moment of life, for this is worn and placed with great attention and care. During the development of my project, I tried to bring out the uniqueness of a frame containing the uniform, giving an effect of suspension and to bring out its symbolic nature and importance "

Is Fibromyalgia More Common in Women?
Evidence has shown that fibromyalgia is more common in women than men. 90 percent of fibromyalgia cases are found in females according to the U.S. government. Not only is fibromyalgia more common in women, but it also manifests differently. Men tend to experience milder symptoms and shorter periods of discomfort less frequently. So what is the role of gender in the symptoms of fibromyalgia?
Gender, Hormonal Changes, and Pain
Interestingly enough, fibromyalgia symptoms peak in women during their prime reproductive years. The hormonal changes in the body that influence estrogen levels indicate that fluctuations of hormones can affect symptoms.
Dr. Tucker said that estrogen is a hormone that can guard against pain. Women feel their painful fibromyalgia symptoms increase right before menstruation (when estrogen levels decrease) and after their cycle ends (when estrogen levels heighten).
Men have higher concentrations of testosterone that protect against their painful symptoms. According to research conducted by the National Fibromyalgia Association, men with the highest levels of testosterone are the least prone to fibromyalgia.
Can We Believe the Numbers?
A lot of evidence and statistics we have about the prevalence of fibromyalgia rely on self-report data. The nature of fibromyalgia as a vague, widespread pain can be hard to identify. Men have been shown to be less likely to seek treatment or even a diagnosis. This means the presence of fibromyalgia in men could also be under-reported and underrepresented in the population.
Increasing Awareness of Fibromyalgia
Only a few years ago fibromyalgia as a condition was misrepresented or not understood by the population at large. Continuing research and examination of the symptoms have shed much-needed light on the number of people that deal with the condition every day.
Treatments include a range of anti-depressant medications but most often involve the integrative treatment of diet, exercises, sleep schedules, and other healthy lifestyle changes. Hopefully, the increasing knowledge of the condition will lead to innovative treatments.

Sebastian Vettel: "Not the race we wanted. We started first and second and we didn't finish there. A disappointing evening. I had a good start but already halfway through the first lap I realised that the car was extremely difficult to drive. I think Charles struggled less as he had no difficulties in passing me. It was quite tough out there. Then we lost P2 at the pitstop but came back. In the second stint on the medium tyres maybe it was a bit better but overall we didn't have the pace we should have had today. While battling with Lewis I made a mistake at turn 4, which is one of the trickiest corners on the track. I suddenly lost the car and I spun. In doing so, I damaged the tyres so much that I had quite a lot of vibrations, which eventually led to the failure of the front wing. It was Charles' race today, he got very unlucky. I am sorry for him and for the team".

If you are interested in volunteering and are a licensed healthcare professional, please carefully read the volunteer eligibility and registration process below.
IF YOU ARE NOT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL - or are a professional with an expired license – and want to help, we have a pandemic response role for bilingual volunteers posted here. We also are adding names to a waitlist of un-licensed residents willing to volunteer as contract tracers in case there is a later major surge; click here for waitlist details. For other volunteer opportunities, please visit the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership's disaster services webpage and periodically check the county's MarinShares: Marin County Volunteers page. Thanks for your willingness to serve our community!
INTERNSHIPS: The department of Health and Human Services continues to leverage existing relationships with many local universities to engage nursing, public health, and other students for internship opportunities. Interested student interns may submit a general application.
PAID POSITIONS: We are regularly posting contingent hire COVID response roles. We invite you to check the county jobs page to see current openings. If you don't see what you're looking for, you may also submit a job interest card for public health. By doing so, you will be alerted to relevant COVID response job openings when they arise.

Marin County has two medical volunteer (unpaid) teams: 1) the Marin County "Surge" Unit and 2) the Marin Medical Reserve Corps. Additionally, the state of California formed a team called the California Health Corps for individuals interested in paid roles. Please read below for more information regarding each team.
|These volunteers are on a reserve list of licensed healthcare volunteers and can be called to back up the Marin Medical Reserve Corps (MMRC) or Marin County Public Health during emergencies related to large-scale, catastrophic events. Volunteers receive just-in-time training prior to deployment. During COVID-19, all new volunteers will be on-boarded into the Marin County Unit. In the future they will be offered an opportunity to join the MMRC.
|These are the first volunteers deployed by the County of Marin in a medical emergency. Volunteers are engaged and active in unit preparedness and response activities and have increased training and participation requirements. At this time, MMRC is closed to new volunteers. We are onboarding all volunteering into our Marin County "Surge" Unit (description to left) due to relaxed training and participation requirements during COVID-19 activation.
On Monday 3/30, at the direction of the CA Governor's Office announced mass hiring of paid medical professionals to support California's response efforts to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The team is called the California Health Corps and if you sign up for the CHC (COVID-19 team), then you will be considered a state resource and are not guaranteed local deployment. Marin County does not oversee the CHC. If you have questions about the California Health Corps, please contact email@example.com.
If you registered for the newly-formed California Health Corps but you want to volunteer (unpaid) locally for Marin County, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will transfer your account from the CHC to the Marin County Unit.
Registration in the DHV system does not guarantee a volunteer placement or deployment. Volunteers are not to self-deploy and must be scheduled and confirmed through a representative from the County of Marin. Steps to deploy:
- Receive Disaster Healthcare message from the County of Marin requesting availability.
- Receive assignment confirmation from a County of Marin employee. Volunteers are not to self-deploy.
- Complete volunteer paperwork
- Receive just-in-time training
- Take the Disaster Service Workers (DSW) Oath.

These better quality extension cables feature more precisely designed connectors and heavier grade wiring when compared with our basic D15 option.
Atari 5200 notes: While the plug heads are a different style than the original locking connector, these cables work just fine with the 5200. The female console end will fully seat into the 5200 with just the right amount of tension to hold the cable securely in place. The joystick male connector does not have cutouts for the locking tables, but the plastic is flexible enough to hold the joystick plug in position and proivde a secure connection.

Congress Approval Rating falls to 9%, Well Done Democrats. Well Done.
Last month, 11% of voters gave the legislature good or excellent ratings. Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating since the beginning of 2008.
The percentage of Democrats who give Congress positive ratings fell from 17% last month to 13% this month. The number of Democrats who give Congress a poor rating remained unchanged. Among Republicans, 8% give Congress good or excellent ratings, up just a point from last month. Sixty-five percent (65%) of GOP voters say Congress is doing a poor job, down a single point from last month.
Voters not affiliated with either party are the most critical of Congressional performance. Just 3% of those voters give Congress positive ratings, down from 6% last month. Sixty-three percent (63%) believe Congress is doing a poor job, up from 57% last month.
Just 12% of voters think Congress has passed any legislation to improve life in this country over the past six months. That number has ranged from 11% to 13% throughout 2008. The majority of voters (62%) say Congress has not passed any legislation to improve life in America.
Voters hold little positive sentiment about the future. Just 41% find it at least somewhat likely that Congress will address important problems facing our nation in the near future, while 55% find this unlikely.
Despite these negative attitudes towards Congress, Democrats continue to enjoy a double digit lead on the Generic Congressional Ballot. Also, Barack Obama holds a modest lead over John McCain in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. Other key stats on Election 2008 can be found at Obama-McCain: By the Numbers.
Most voters (72%) think most members of Congress are more interested in furthering their own political careers. Just 14% believe members are genuinely interested in helping people.
A separate Rasmussen survey found that half of all voters believe America's best days are in the past. However, another survey found that 64% of voters also believe that the world would be a better place if more countries were similar to the United States.

Introduction: Firefly Lights Using Dollar Store Tea Lights
Here's a simple way to get those cool theme park fireflies in your haunt this year. They take about 10 minutes each to make and the effect is amazing. You will need:
Tea Lights from a dollar store
1 meter CAT5 cable (or other thin 24AWG wire)
Wire Strippers
Soldering Iron (Optional)
Lets get started!
Step 1: Tea Light Anatomy Part 1
These dollar store tea lights are perfect for this instructable, but any LED tea light will do. They all have the same anatomy: a battery, battery door, switch, and a special flickering LED.
What you want to do first is take off the battery door and remove the battery. See that little wire sitting there? That is the cathode or negative lead of the LED.
Step 2: Tea Light Anatomy Part 2
Next we are going to pry the two pieces of the tea light apart. You should see a seam around the bottom of the tea light. Some even have an indent where you can place a small screwdriver in to pry the two pieces apart.
Once you have the cover off, let's look at the way the LED sits in its holder. The cathode lead goes down and is bent at a 90 degree angle in the battery compartment. The anode or positive lead of the LED is set inside the tea light above the switch. In the off position the anode lead does not touch the switch, but it will in the ON position. I know, stating the obvious, but we will need to replicate this arrangement with our wire a little while later.
Remove the LED remembering where the LED leads were located.
Step 3: Getting the Wire Ready
I used CAT5 network cable in this step because it is abundant, springy and thin so it will blend in with its surroundings as a firefly tether.
Slice the end of your 1 meter cable to expose the wires.
Grab the cable outer insulation in one hand and the wires in the other hand and pull until the outer insulation is separated from the wires. Discard the insulation,
Strip about an inch of insulation from one pair of wires. Leave the wires twisted.
Step 4: Cathode
Place one wire through the hole where the cathode lead of the LED used to be. My tea lights have two holes for the wire to go to the battery compartment. I used the other hole to make the wire more secure, but this is optional.
Step 5: Anode
Now it's the anode lead's turn. This one is a bit tricky. Remember how the anode lead of the LED was positioned to contact the switch in the ON position?
OPTIONAL: I used a soldering iron to melt the plastic around the wire to secure it in place.
Step 6: Feed the Wire Through and Put the Cover Back On
Strip the other end of the wire about 1 inch. Remove the clear plastic "flame" from the tea light and thread the wire through. Carefully close up the case so the tea light stays together. I noticed about 1/2 of my tea lights don't like to stay together at this point. Glue or electrical tape will fix a loose cover.
Step 7: Connect the LED
Connect the LED to the wires and flip the switch. If it didn't light up switch the wires and try again. Still no light? Try taking the cover off of the tea light and see if the switch is functioning correctly.
OPTIONAL: I soldered the wires to the LEDs so they won't have connection problems on Halloween. I also put the plastic "flame" on the LED to soften the light a bit. The LEDs in my lights were directional so this helped the fireflies have a more uniform glow.
One final touch might be to paint the wire and enclosure black. In most situations it's not necessary.
Step 8: How to Make Fireflies Dance
Hang the fireflies in a tree so a good portion of the wire is suspended above the firefly. This will allow a lot of random movement. You can also try coiling the top of the wire closest to the battery enclosure so the firefly will bounce around more.
If the air is still, place a fan below the fireflies to get them moving. It doesn't take much air movement to make them dance.
Have fun and thanks for reading my first instructable!

Cool idea. I destroyed a couple of LED candles last year because I wanted to make some glowing ehes. But I just took the LED out and then taped it to the battery. Now I know another wat to do it. Thanks. :-)
Awesome hack! Welcome to instructables! Thanks for sharing!

The Google Glass is an optical head-mounted developed by X, formerly known Google X. it is designed in the form of eyeglasses, but do not be fooled; the Google glass is anything but mere eyeglasses.
This invention is a ubiquitous computer; the glass displays any information like your mobile device format. The user communicates with the internet through a natural voice command. Just like a cool sci-fi movie, isn't it?
On April 15, 2013, Google sold the prototype of this invention for a limited period, for $1500 to selected buyers called "Glass Explorers" and it was sold exclusively in the United States. However, it was sold to the general public a year later, but this time the glass had a camera attached to it.
The Google Glass was not fully accepted because of privacy and safety concerns. Google stopped manufacturing the glass prototype and assured the public that the Google glass would reopen for sale in 2017. True to their word, in July 2017, the product named Google Glass Enterprise Edition was open for interested buyers to purchase.
How to set it up
To set up your Google glass press the round power button for about a second, the white light behind will turn on and remain lit while glass starts up. You will know the Google Glass is turned on when the display is lit, and you see the glass logo.
Put the glass on, rotate the display to see the entire image, to get the right fit, you can adjust the nose stems. The nose pad sits on the bridges of your nose; the display should be above the line of sight.
Launch the myglass app on your phone and click continue and you are good to go!
Google Glass Review
Undoubtedly, the Google glass is pricey, although it is a revolutionary of this century; is it worth the price? Let's take a look, shall we?
As a Video camera
The video camera may not be the best feature of the Google Glass Enterprise Edition; the battery's lifespan is short, the image quality is average due to the small angle lens, and the operability is not user-friendly compare to other cheaper camera in the market.
If you are paying $1500 for it, at least the video camera should be top of the charts. The timeframe of the device cannot capture half of any event and with the low quality, may put a damp in your favorite memories.
As an in-vehicle camera
Google glass as an in-vehicle camera is better than the above feature, probably because it is plugged in and the battery will not be a problem. However, it cannot record continuously what happens around you.
If you bought the glass for recording your day-2-day activities, you would be disappointed. Nonetheless, it seems promising; with the right software, the device in this category will improve.
As a ride tracker
The glass depends on the GPS sensor of your phone to operate efficiently. Taking the glass out on the run may not be a great idea because it is not water resistant; the sweat from your head may ruin the bone-conduction speaker or power button.
As a headset
If you are super ticklish around your head, the Google glass may not be suitable for you; the bone speakers vibrate and tickle and may cause long conversation uncomfortable or awkward. The sound quality is okay, but it can easily be distorted; for a $1500 device, it could have been better.
The newly included earbud makes it bulkier to carry; the glass alone is cumbersome and cannot be folded in your pocket. If Google can work on this aspect of the invention, it will be less stressful for the user to carry.
As a hands-free smartphone controller
This feature is pretty awesome; the ability to control important features of your phone without looking or touching your phone is a nice.
This feature alerts and enables you to read instant messages. It also allows you to respond to these messages as well as create new instant messages through voice recognition.
This is a reliable feature, and it deserves big thumbs up. However, you cannot create emails from scratch, but the joy of getting messages in the new slide timeline and responding to pop up instant messages without touching your glass is fantastic!
As a navigator device
This feature is okay to use, may not be 100 percent reliable; it does the same job as other cheaper navigator devices, but it can come in handy in a case of emergency.
You can use as a backup navigator device and not the main one. For instance, if your car's navigator device ever malfunctions, the Google Glass can be used temporarily.
As a music streaming device
The Google Glass Enterprise Edition provides yet another amazing feature; it gains easy access to Google Music, and with completely hands-free operation via voice-activated searches.
However, there are few lapses in this feature; the audio is poor, and it does not fully search songs on Google music. Once again, for a device like the Google glass, it would have been better.
The Google Glass Enterprise Edition is exciting, and it proves that the tech world is changing rapidly and positively. This device has a lot to offer, and it is not quite there yet.
The battery life seriously needs improvement, the device comes with a high price, and it doesn't merit an "A" in any of the functionalities.

Emily Coltman FCA, Chief Accountant to FreeAgent, gives her top tips for how you can make self assessment as painless as possible.
Did you become self-employed between 6th April 2012 and 5th April 2013? If you did, then this could be the first year you'll have to file a self assessment tax return – and it must be with HMRC by 31st January 2014.
Emily Coltman FCA, Chief Accountant to FreeAgent – which provides an award-winning online accounting system for small businesses and freelancers – gives her top tips for how you can make self assessment as painless as possible.
Are you registered with HMRC?
Firstly, you need to make sure that HMRC are expecting a tax return from you with self-employment pages.
Also, the deadline to file your tax return on paper has now passed, so you must file your tax return online now.
Make sure that you have registered your business with HMRC. Do this in good time, because HMRC have to send you an activation code by post and it wouldn't be ideal for this to get caught up in the Christmas post.
What will your year end date be?
All businesses must prepare the accounts to a particular date every year. This is called your year end date.
The simplest year end date to have in the is one that matches the tax year, which runs to 5th April each year. By concession, HMRC treat accounts that end on 31st March, or any of the first five days in April, as matching the tax year.
You can choose whatever year end date you like, but a year end date that doesn't match the tax year can result in you paying tax twice on the same profits in the early years of your business – though in later years it means you may pay tax later than otherwise.
Also, in your first year of business, you would have to report on your tax return your profit figure for when you started your business to 5th April 2013, even if 5th April 2013 was not your year end (unless your year end is 31st March or 1st-4th April, in which case you can use your year end).
For my own self I would stick to the tax year end – it's much easier!

Don't miss anything out when you draw up your accounts
You need to take into account all the transactions your business has had in the year. So if you started your business on 5th May 2012, and you choose a tax year end for your business, you need to include in your accounts all the transactions that happened between 5th May 2012 and 5th April 2013.
Don't forget to include the following:
– Income that you had invoiced, or for which you'd done the work, before 5th April 2013, but which your customers did not pay you for until after that date.
– All your business costs, including those you paid for yourself rather than from the business's bank account, and including any business costs that you incurred before the business started to trade, so long as you spent the money no more than 7 years before the start of your business and the cost could have been included if you had incurred it after the start of your business. So for example, you can include the cost of buying accounting software before you made your first sale, but not the cost of online gaming software (unless your business is in that industry).
– Any large pieces of equipment (capital assets) that you bought for your business. These don't go in as day-to-day running costs but you may be able to claim capital allowances on them.
Don't forget other sources of income
You may have income from other sources as well as your business, for example if you have a job as well as being self-employed, you rent out a property, or you earn interest on a bank account.
Collect the paperwork for this income, such as your forms P60 and P11D from your employer, or bank interest certificates.
Remember you need the paperwork that relates to the tax year 2012/13, the tax year which ended on 5th April 2013.
If you want an accountant – find one now
If you want an accountant to help you to prepare your tax return, now is the time to find one. However, be aware that some accountants may charge an extra premium to new clients who join them in the busy season
FreeAgent has a list of friendly accountants here – and if you are at all worried about preparing your own tax return, do consult an accountant for help.

By Rich Tijerina
Austin American-Statesman
(TNS) — Goodbye, six-game win streak.
Goodbye to the inside track to make the Big 12 championship game. And with two losses, it's likely goodbye to any hopes of making the College Football Playoff for Texas.
The No. 6-ranked Longhorns fell to Oklahoma State, 38-35, Saturday in Stillwater.
Three of the four biggest comebacks in UT history have come at Oklahoma State's expense. The Horns trailed by 17 points at halftime and came up one field goal short.
Why Texas (6-2, 4-1) lost
The Longhorns looked sluggish through the first two quarters. Maybe that was the off week. Maybe it was going without the two starting cornerbacks for the first quarter. But the offense struggled and the defense was uncharacteristically giving. But Oklahoma State was off last week, too. No one — certainly not Kris Boyd — could cover Tylan Wallace, who torched Texas like no other wide receiver has done this season. Brandon Jones' questionable decision to field a deep punt ended up changing the game. The Horns lost momentum, nearly were caught in a safety twice and ended up punting from the end zone; OSU scored with a short field. The Horns came close, but couldn't catch the Cowboys.
Why Oklahoma State (5-3, 2-3) won
The Cowboys started off hot, then seemed content to work the clock, then withstood a second-half Longhorns rally. Taylor Cornelius has drawn the ire of fans, but looked awfully good tonight. He threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more. Wallace looked like the second coming of James Washington or Dez Bryant, a 200-yard game.
The good for Texas
— QB Sam Ehlinger looked OK. Not great. Not very good. But it definitely wouldn't have been surprising to see him struggle, just two weeks removed from a sprained shoulder. He had a couple of nice throws — a perfectly-placed 36-yarder that hit a well-covered Andrew Beck in stride, and his equally impressive 22-yard touchdown to Keaontay Ingram in the third quarter stood out — and took some hits both in the backfield and as a runner. He also had a couple of touchdown runs.
He took one truly big hit on his shoulder, but it was his left one. He was averaging 11 carries a game heading into the game and ended up with 10 tonight.
He started out 2 of 8 and was only 5 of 15 at halftime. He finished 22 of 42 for 283 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 47 yards and two more scores.
— A good night for Gary Johnson. He led the team with 10 tackles and saved Texas some points on the very first play of the second quarter, a third-and-6 at UT's 9-yard line. Johnson broke through for the Horns' first sack of the night, a big one — a 15-yard loss back to the 24. On fourth down, Matt Ammendola missed from 41 yards out.
— Charles Omenihu didn't have the monster game that he's had the rest of October, but he did have one monster drive in the second quarter, notching a sack and a tackle for loss on the same series.
— How about starters playing on special teams? D'Shawn Jamison muffed his first punt return, but Collin Johnson saved the day by recovering the ball on the turf. A turnover there would've given OSU the ball inside Texas' 20 with a 24-14 lead.
That was the last punt we saw Jamison field. It was Brandon Jones from there on.
— And yeah, it was near disaster on a deep punt that Jones shouldn't have fielded and very nearly was tackled for a safety. As it was, it forced the offense into a 98-yard situation trailing by three. But take a look at the play again and give Jones some credit for successfully fielding the punt at all; it was an over-the-shoulder grab literally on his fingertips, but he controlled it. Should have let it bounce for a probable touchback, for sure. But it could have been much, much worse.
That decision, however, was the key play of the game.
And if Ryan Bujcevski is still looking for a Halloween costume, he can go as Michael Dickson. The freshman had his best game yet, hitting a soaring 55-yard punt in the first quarter and a 54-yard boomer in the third.
The bad for Texas
— A rare off night for the defense. The Cowboys finished with 508 yards of offense, the second most of the season behind the 532 yards that Oklahoma had.
— Tough night for Boyd. The Cowboys had success in the passing game as Boyd and Davante Davis missed the first quarter as punishment for being late to a team function. It forced Texas to go with a redshirt freshman and a true freshman at cornerback for the opening quarter; Taylor Cornelius was 9 of 12 for 134 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
— Not that Boyd's return made much difference. Tylan Wallace beat him for a 27-yard gain on OSU's opening drive of the second quarter. Late in the half, Wallace out-jumped Boyd for a 36-yard touchdown grab; Boyd was in position to make a play, but mistimed his jump. Wallace didn't. Boyd dropped an interception and was beaten by Wallace again for 49 yards in the third quarter.
— Speaking of Wallace, the Cowboys receiver had a huge night. He finished with 10 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns. That's the best game by an opposing receiver this season. USC's Amon-Ra St. Brown had 167 yards and Oklahoma's Marquise Brown had 131. Those were the only two 100-yard receivers Texas had allowed through seven games.
— Everyone was worried about Justice Hill. For good reason — the Cowboys running back had 100-yard games against Texas in 2016 and 2017. But it wasn't just Hill that gashed the Horns' run defense. We didn't hear much about Chuba Hubbard this week, but the freshman from Canada paired with Hill as a very effective one-two punch.
Hill had 92 yards on 23 carries, Hubbard 80 on only nine runs.
— The Cowboys finished with 187 rushing yards; only Oklahoma (222) and Tulsa (189) have rushed for more.
— As explained above, Brandon Jones' ill-advised decision to field a deep OSU punt painted Texas into a tough corner — trailing 31-28 with 9{ minutes left
That drive was one big gulp after another. On third-and-long, Ehlinger hit Lil'Jordan Humphrey for a first down but it was nullified by a holding call on Calvin Anderson (though it was announced as being on Patrick Vahe). Anderson appeared to commit the penalty in the end zone, but officials didn't rule it a safety. And on third down, Ehlinger was nearly sacked for a safety.
— Ehlinger hit Collin Johnson for a big 45-yard gainer in the third quarter. But it was called back on a holding penalty by Andrew Beck. Drive killer.
— And if you're going to go for an onside kick, next time kick it with your kicker. Not last year's kicker. Joshua Rowland's effort with 2 minutes left didn't produce the bounce that would be needed to hope for a play. It was fielded easily.
