The researchers found increased risks of orofacial clefts among infants whose mothers reported binge-level drinking of an average of five or more drinks per occasion during the first-trimester compared to non-drinkers. Risk was further increased among women who drank at this level most frequently.
Both animal and human data suggest that it is the dose of alcohol consumed at one time during pregnancy rather than the frequency or total amount over time that matters most. "The greater the blood alcohol concentration, the longer the fetus is exposed. A single binge during a critical period of an infant's development can be harmful," said DeRoo.
"Fortunately, heavy maternal drinking is uncommon in many populations, but the fact that it is happening at all tells us we need to do a better job of letting mothers know about the effects that alcohol can have on their baby's development," said Allen J. Wilcox, M.D., Ph.D., NIEHS researcher and co-author on the paper. In Norway, a separate study found that 25 percent of Norwegian women reported at least one binge drinking episode early during pregnancy.
Alcohol is a recognized teratogen, or an environmental agent that can cause malformations of an embryo or fetus. One of the most severe outcomes of heavy maternal drinking is fetal alcohol syndrome, a lifelong condition that causes physical and mental disabilities, including craniofacial malformations. There has been little research to determine if alcohol consumption is related to oral cleft risk.

China is apparently testing another update for its H-6K long range bomber. A cell phone photo recently appeared showing an H-6K with an aerial refueling probe. This really doesn’t make much sense because extending the range of the H-6K as it was designed to carry long range missiles (land attack and anti-ship). Extending H-6K range so it can reach targets in Hawaii or the American west coast doesn’t make much since as the risks of being detected and shot down along the way are too high.
There are, however, some practical uses of an H-6K that can refuel in the air. The most likely use of aerial refueling is to enable the H-6K to carry multiple ASAT (anti-satellite) missiles or one air launched satellite launcher. In both cases the H-6K could increase its payload by carrying much less fuel for takeoff and then when airborne take on enough fuel to fuel to complete the mission. That would involve flying high rather than far. This sort of thing has been done before and Chinese engineers are familiar with the details.
The U.S. has already developed and tested both ASAT missiles (ASM-135) and air launched satellite launcher rockets (the Pegasus). Back in the 1980s, the U.S. Air Force developed the ASM-135 for knocking down low orbit satellites by using a 1.2 ton missile launched from a high flying jet fighter. This was done in response to news that Russia was developing a similar system. The Russian system relied on killsats and was never that effective. A successful test of ASM-135 was conducted in 1985, but the program was shut down three years later because the air force preferred to spend the money elsewhere.
A little later, in the 1990s, a civilian firm (Orbital ATK) developed, tested and built Pegasus air-launched (from a B-52 or modified large airliner) three stage solid fuel rockets for putting small (up to half a ton) satellites into LEO (low earth orbit). The first version of Pegasus weighed 19 tons and the latest one 23 tons. So far (1990 to 2016) Pegasus has been launched 43 times and failed only 7 percent of the time. Most of the failed launches were early development models. In other words, Pegasus is still in use and the air force has admitted that the ASM-135 could resume production and be even more reliable, effective and cheaper because advances in missile and guidance tech since the 1980s.
China is not saying what its H-6K equipped with aerial refueling is going to do. In any event the H-6K in general appears to be largely a development project. That’s because since 2011 only about twenty H-6Ks have entered service and Chinese officials have said they want to develop a modern heavy bomber but that takes time and tinkering with the H-6 has always been seen as preferable to making a major investment in a new aircraft design.
The H-6K is the latest version of China’s largest and most capable long range bomber and is basically a much improved and modernized version of a 1950s Russian design. The K model has a modern (“glass”) cockpit that consists largely of five flat screen touch displays rather than the older array of many switches and small analog indicators. These pictures also showed that the H-6K had a new side entry door that could use a stair or a ladder.
The H-6K entered service in 2011 after several years of development. The H-6K uses more efficient Russian engines (D30KP2) that give it a range of about 3,500 kilometers without aerial refueling. Electronics are state-of-the-art and include a more powerful radar. The fuselage of the bomber has been reinforced with lighter, stronger, composite materials giving it longer range and greater carrying capacity. The rear facing 23mm autocannon has been replaced with electronic warfare equipment. The current H-6K can carry six of the two-ton CJ-10A land-attack cruise missiles under its wings and one more in the bomb bay. These appear to have a range of up to 2,000 kilometers, as they are similar to the older Russian Kh-55 (which could be armed with a nuclear warhead). The CJ-10A is sometimes described as a high-speed (2,500 kilometers an hour), solid fuel missile. But that type of missile is a short range (about 300 kilometers) anti-ship system. The CJ-10A appears to be more of a copy of the American Tomahawk (which uses a much slower jet engine). The CJ-10A can carry a nuclear warhead but usually does not. Armed with CJ-10A the H6K can attack American bases on Okinawa and Guam using air-launched cruise missiles. The H-6K can also carry up to eight anti-ship missiles, making it a threat to American carriers.
This became obvious in late 2015 when Chinese media made much of a training exercise over the South China Sea featuring H-6Ks. In that November exercise eight H-6Ks were seen more than a thousand kilometers out to sea and accompanied by electronic warfare aircraft. Four of the H-6Ks flew close to Okinawa and were photographed by Japanese aircraft. This was apparently an effort to demonstrate the Chinese capability to hit targets far from the Chinese mainland, especially American bases in Okinawa and Guam. This was but the latest effort to publicize the H-6K. Earlier China media heavily covered senior officials visiting airbases where the H-6K was shown off with journalists allowed to take close up photos of the aircraft, including the cockpit. Apparently that publicity did not do the trick so the November flights were used for emphasis.
There are about a hundred H-6s in service (out of about 200 built). These are Chinese copies of the Russian Tu-16s (about 1,500 built). Although the Tu-16 design is over fifty years old, China has continued to rely on their H-6s as one of their principal bombers. The H-6 is a 78 ton aircraft with a crew of four and two engines. Most models can carry nine tons of bombs and missiles, with the new H-6K able to haul about 12 tons. Most H-6s carry the CJ-10A and C201 missiles, as well as bombs. It does not appear that China is building a lot of H-6Ks, perhaps no more than thirty. The Russians kept their Tu-16s in service until the early 1990s, but China kept improving their H-6 copy. Thus the H-6K is a capable heavy bomber that may be around for another decade or two.

The wine region of Heathcote is diverse and unique.
Tucked against the Great Dividing Range beyond Melbourne, the Heathcote wine region spans 100km from Tooborac to Colbinabbin.
It contains variety of soil profiles, including the 500-million-year-old Cambrian volcanics, and there are several micro-climates.
Combined with the passion and creativity of local winegrowers, Heathcote wine (particularly shiraz) presents with a depth and complexity not seen elsewhere in Australia.
Some say even the world.
Over recent years, Heathcote has risen in prominence as an acclaimed wine region.
What many don’t know, however, is that many varietals, both French and Italian, are performing well. From marsanne to vermentino, riesling, rose and nebbiolo to sangiovese — these are just some of the unsung favourites.
With 50 winegrowers in the region, the outlook is bright.
But there are clouds.
Increasing numbers of viticulturists say changing weather patterns — longer, hotter summers and warmer, drier winters — are having an impact on crop yield.
Heathcote Winegrowers Association president Ian Hopkins said, ‘‘general observations of the 2019 vintage seem to be that it was a tough year, but better than expected’’.
Viticulturist and manager at She Oak Hill Estate, Jane Leckie, said weather patterns leading up to the 2019 vintage had ‘‘made things a challenge’’.
Producing shiraz, chardonnay and rose, She Oak Hill is a boutique vineyard under 7ha, five minutes north of Heathcote.
‘‘The weather conditions in 2018 meant that many of the shoots on the branch stopped growing. Or, they grew too early,’’ Ms Leckie said.
‘‘This shifted our 2019 season entirely. The fruit ripened earlier and faster; we were picking in February as opposed to March or early April.’’
She said earlier vintages were becoming a trend and not ‘once-off’ events.
‘‘The biggest challenge at She Oak is not knowing what each season is going to hold.
‘‘I believe weather patterns are changing. To counteract this, we are reducing the crop before fruit starts to drop.’’
The technique is called ‘layering down’ and is done during pruning.
‘‘It takes the stress off the mother vine by leaving less buds. Instead of 10 or 11, we prune to around eight,’’ Ms Leckie said.
She Oak Hill Estate is dry-grown, meaning the vines are not irrigated.
While the technique can lead to a fuller bodied wine, the greatest challenge is that the sugar level of the fruit can’t be controlled as it ripens.
‘‘When the grapes are ready to be picked, they must be picked,’’ Ms Leckie said.
‘‘This is starting to happen earlier every year.’’
With a reduced crop, she hoped for greater quality and yield.
‘‘Rainfall over autumn and winter this year has been much better than it was in 2018.
‘‘But it’s topping-up-grass water. We’re after a deep soak into the root system, which is about a metre-and-a-half into the soil.’’
Ms Leckie believes the increased rainfall this year, combined with the layering, will lead to a greater yield in 2020 — but she can’t be sure.
‘‘Viticulture is like any other kind of farming. You don’t just sit around and watch crops grow.
‘‘It’s about thinking of creative ways to solve problems.
‘‘However, that’s the part I enjoy the most.’’

One of the best techniques for a better marital life is to learn how to respect the partner’s variances. This means paying attention to their needs and listening to these people. It also means acknowledging and mending their problems. When you dignity dating a macedonian girl your spouse, you’re creating a stronger bond among you. Remember that getting married is certainly not the end belonging to the story; they have just the beginning.
Keeping touching your spouse is yet another of the best points to get a better relationship. Talking to each other daily is a great way to strengthen your bond and prevent unnecessary quarrels. Talking to your partner about their working day will also help you understand your lover better. This kind of will let you avoid misconceptions and help your marriage increase.
Inquire your spouse the actual think and feel instead of producing assumptions or revealing your personal opinions. If your spouse is certainly happy or perhaps not, the main element to a cheerful marriage is always to look at one another through The lord’s loving sight and help to make a conscious effort to love the other person. While it is regular to work over little things, you should remember that they will pale when compared with your spouse’s wonderful qualities.
Keeping reasonable expectations is yet another significant tip to get a better matrimony. Many couples are not satisfied with their marriage, and http://bening23.6te.net/?m=20210308 they have essential that you remember to be happy with yourself too. When you drop sight of your self, you will start to resign yourself to feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. By simply focusing on the strengths rather than your weaknesses, you’ll find that you’re here more content with your romance.

This allows you to produce decisions that may keep your relationship happy. This will likely also help you improve your interaction skills. The various other key to an improved marriage is always to prioritize your time together. If you spend that in bed or playing a board game, you must make time to dedicate with your partner.
Bear in mind the platinum rule: handle others the method that you want to be viewed. Avoid sarcasm and contempt; both will destroy goodwill and a relationship. Never make an effort to humiliate your spouse intentionally, or do anything that may embarrass or perhaps humiliate her or him. For example , by being past due, you’re allowing your lover down.
Lastly, keep in mind that a marriage can be described as partnership that requires both equally partners to work together. The aim of a marriage is usually to challenge the other person to be better people. Which means there will be stress and disagreement, but this is a normal part of the process. If you can learn to respect every single other’s differences and complement each other peoples strengths, wedding will work to you.
It is also crucial for you to remember that zero marriage is ideal. We all make a few mistakes, and that you should be patient enough to forgive your companion when necessary. A relationship is not easy and it requires a lot of maturity and fortitude. Try to handle conflicts prior to them getting out of hand.

What we put into our bodies can often have a dramatic effect on our physical, mental, and emotional health. Good nutrition is vital to a happy and healthy life. So if you're interested in improving your overall quality of life, but are looking for tips to jump-start the process, this article is for you!
Vitamin C is an important part of a healthy diet. It is an effective antioxidant. It also helps forms the collagen which is needed for healthy blood vessels and gums, wound healing, and development of teeth and bones. Vitamin C has been found to decrease the risk of cancer, cataracts, heart disease and other diseases.
When you "study up" on nutrition, be sure to read about more than one approach. There is more than one school of thought, and fashions come and go--even in this supposed "science." In making a decision on which one to follow, the crucial test is what actually works for you. You may have to put more than one theory to the test before finding the one right for you.
Be sure that you are getting enough Vitamin C in your daily diet. Vitamin C is essential in strengthening your immune system so that your body can fight against infections effectively. http://bigstringim.com/?the-secrets-to-sell-supplements-online-to-the-public-article-writer-morine-brown.html has benefits in the prevention of heart disease and the healing of tissue injuries such as burns. Vitamin C promotes the making of collagen, which is important in skin repair.
Allow your children to help you prepare meals. The more involved children are in the process, the more likely they are to eat the meal. This is especially true for things they may not want to try, such as vegetables. It may not make them like broccoli, but it might make them more likely to taste it.
To naturally reduce your levels of stress, eat foods that contain folic acid. collagen benefits for skin x factor works as a mood stabilizer, and can leave you feeling calmer and more relaxed. Examples of foods rich in folic acid include avocado, lentils, and dark leafy greens. Consuming folic acid also reduces your risk for depression.
When trying to lose weight, it is vital that you keep your metabolism high. Green tea can help. Green tea has components that have been proven to raise your metabolism. In addition, spicy foods have been proven to raise your metabolism. Consider adding chili peppers to your food to achieve this.
Mushrooms come in a multitude of varieties and add amazing flavor to many dishes. This is a good enough reason to use them. But they have great additional benefits nutritionally. Mushrooms contain protein as well as many trace minerals and needed vitamins--especially the B vitamins such as biotin.
There are many recipes that you can try to help lose weight. A great one is to shred zucchini, and top it with some raw tomato sauce. It will look a bit like spaghetti, but will be a healthy alternative. You can even use some veggie meatballs to go along with it.
Instead of ordering takeout on those nights that you do not feel like cooking, try having some healthful frozen dinners on hand. Watch out though and remember to read the labels, because sometimes there are hidden sugars in foods that are supposed to be considered healthy and low in fat.
People who suffer from diabetes have to deal with nutritional needs that are much more complicated than the regular person. You can resolve these needs by eating your meals regularly in order to maintain even blood sugar levels. Stay away from high fat dairy products and choose low fat dairy, whole grains vegetables and fruits. They should also ensure they're eating at about the same time each day.
Oranges are great additions to your diet. They're great for your immune system and to help keep you from eating foods with empty calories. They are chock-full of vitamin C and many B vitamins, and are sweet and satisfyingly juicy. They also have a tough and strong eco-friendly package, are all-natural, and come in single-serving packs.
Use organic produces whenever possible. They are grown naturally without the use of artificial fertilizers, antibiotics, pesticides or genetically modified organisms. Organic products are readily available in most supermarkets for a slightly higher price, but as a return you don't have to worry about the negative interactions between your body and agricultural chemicals.
If your child is allergic to peanuts or attends a peanut-free daycare or school, try alternative sandwich spreads made from soybeans, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews or other tasty pulses. These butters are not only good for sandwiches, but make a great substitute for peanut butter in recipes for candies, cookies and more.
Eat food slowly. By eating at a controlled pace, you give your stomach time to feel full. By eating quickly, food enters your stomach before your stomach can send the signal that it is full. Also, collagen side effects diclofenac like bread expand in your stomach and will make you feel like you are full and will allow you to eat less.
One of the healthiest foods that you can consume during the day is tomatoes, in natural form.

Iranian state television broadcast unprecedented footage on Wednesday of an underground tunnel packed with missiles and launcher units, which officials said could be used if “enemies make a mistake”.
The pictures were released just three days after Iran tested a new long-range missile that the US said may have breached a UN Security Council resolution.
The footage also came a day after Iran’s parliament approved the country’s 14 July nuclear deal with six world powers. Iranian officials have said the nuclear agreement will not affect its military forces, particularly its ballistic missile programme. The missile launch and underground footage followed pressure from lawmakers to prove the military had not been weakened by the deal. The tunnel, hundreds of metres long and about 10 metres high, was filled with missiles and hardware. Read more

“Waxing isn’t alchemy,” Paul Parker advises in his classic manual Free Heel Skiing. “It can be as simple or complex an art as you choose to make it,”
We choose simple. There are two types of wax: glide wax and kick wax. Glide wax keeps your skis running smoothly over the snow. Kick wax is applied to the midsection of your skis to bite into the snow, providing the purchase necessary to propel yourself forward.
Kick wax is the tricky one. You need to pick the right wax and apply it properly. If you have too little wax or the wrong kind, you’ll be floundering instead of kicking and gliding. If you have too much grip, snow will build up on your ski bottoms.
Swix, the main manufacturer, makes a daunting variety of kick waxes, but recreational skiers usually can get by with just a few, according to Tony Goodwin, executive director of the Adirondack Ski Touring Council.
Waxes vary in hardness, depending on the temperatures they are designed to work in. On most days, Goodwin uses Swix’s Blue Extra. If it gets below fifteen degrees or so, Goodwin uses the harder Green wax instead. If it gets a little above freezing, he turns to the softer Special Red.
Most skiers will want to avoid klister, the sticky glop meant to provide grip in warm, spring conditions. It’s messy to put on or take off. Think model-airplane glue or melted bubblegum. You’ll likely get as much of the stuff on your clothes as on your skis. In klister conditions, you are better off using waxless skis. Another option is kicker skins (see below).
If you’re uncertain which of two waxes to use, start with a harder one. If it doesn’t work, you may need to apply softer wax over the hard. Starting with soft and then switching to hard wax is problematic. Goodwin likens it to trying to spread peanut butter over jelly.
But switching waxes is not your first resort.
Kick wax is applied to the wax pocket, the ski bottom beneath the foot, extending from the heel to maybe ten inches in front of the toe. At the outset, rub in one or two thin layers of wax into the pocket, smoothing each layer with cork or the heel of your hand. If you don’t get enough grip, add more wax to the pocket. If that doesn’t work, add wax on either side of the pocket. “You don’t have to stay in the wax pocket,” Goodwin says. “Wax tip to tail if you feel like it, if that gives you the kick you need.” If you’re still not getting enough grip, it’s time to try a softer wax.
Remember: thin first, followed by thicker, longer, and softer.
Wax may not suffice for climbing Mount Marcy and other steep slopes. If you do a lot of down-mountain skiing in the backcountry, you may want to invest in a pair of skins—nylon strips that stick to your ski bottoms. The nylon’s nap prevents you from slipping back while allowing some forward glide. Glue on the reverse side adheres to the ski, but it doesn’t stick to the ski when the skin is pulled off.
Most skins extend from tip to tail. Kicker skins fit over just the wax pocket. They’re often used in place of klister. They’re fine for kicking, but not great for gliding.
Glide wax is a cinch. If you’re on the trail, simply apply it to ski bottoms outside your wax pocket. Goodwin, however, seldom uses glide wax in the field. Rather, he applies it to his skis a few times a season with a hot iron after removing the old kick wax with a scraper and commercial wax remover. He uses the iron to melt the glide wax and spread it evenly over the entire ski bottom. Kick wax can be applied over the glide wax.

During the first part of the tour, we will travel by coach from the East Coast to the Tramuntana Mountain Range, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site thanks to its breathtaking landscape. There, you will enjoy the journey as you get to know better this beautiful area with the guide's explanations about all the different points you will come across such as Lluc Monastery, the Puig Mayor and the Torrente de Pareis. During this part of the trip, you will have the opportunity to see one of Europe's most spectacular roads: the one that leads to Sa Calobra.
In Sa Calobra you will have free time which you can use to explore the area. In this beautiful corner of Majorca you can swim at the beach, have a walk around Torrente de Pareis or just sit down, relax and enjoy the view. There are also a few restaurants where you can grab something to eat or have a coffee as you make the most out of this secluded paradise.
On the next part of this tour, you will be boarding on a modern boat for a 40-minute ride. This boat trip will take you from Sa Calobra to the Port of Soller while you witness Majorca's beauty in a way that will exceed your expectations: ancient defensive towers, coves, cliffs, marine caves, and small islands.
Once we arrive at the Port of Soller it will be time to take the Soller tram. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes and ends at Soller's classic railway station in Soller Town. During this ride, you will see lemon orchards and orange trees, which is Soller's most famous landscape, and the tram will take you straight to the historical center.
The best part of this Majorca Island Tour is the train ride. This experience will be the finishing touch that will make you fall completely in love with the island. You will board on Soller's world-famous wooden train which was built in 1912. The train goes across Soller's valley and through various tunnels giving you privileged views of the valley as you reach the town of Bunyola and get off at the Son Reus station. There, the coach will be waiting to take you back to the beginning of the tour.

Following my second episode of Famous Cartoons on the Suicide Squad I wanted to do something else in the same vein with more animated characters. So, I decided to put a bunch of famous Disney characters, plus one Dreamworks character, and put them the realms of Mortal Kombat.
With my Marvel Kombat episodes I got a lot more familiar with the lore of MK and haven’t done much with that knowledge outside that series, so this was a great chance to stretch my legs in the MK lore again. In this episode I turn Fiona from Shrek into a Shokan mutant inspired by Goro. I turn Luca from Pixar’s newest movie on Disney+ into a Reptile like shapeshifter. I turn Elsa into a Sub Zero descendant who joins the Lin Kuei. And, finally, I turn Beast from Beauty and the Beast into a Baraka and Tarkatan inspired cursed monstrosity!
Had a lot of fun with this and I hope you all enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making! Here goes:

DVD guide to digital photography
The first version will show how to edit/improve photos in PSE 4, while follow-on versions will be based on using PS CS2...
The idea sounds intersting, but my budget wouldn't let me go beyond the first DVD - since CS2 costs more than my Nikon D50 did.
It will b interesting to see how much of the tutorials done in CS2 can be applied/scaled-down to PSE4's feature-set.

We had a great day yesterday here in Oz, with the XJO rallying + 75 points, as banks rallied and commodities provided strong support…
We feel that if the RBA cuts interest rates again next week, markets will rally as investors seek higher yields…..
So which US hedge funds are shorting our banks?
We hope they are all wrong and feel a bit of “pain”, covering their shorts and sending the index higher…..
Crude oil rallied past $50.00 last night, as signs of further supply disruptions assisted markets higher….
This is good news, as oil is generally strongly positively correlated with markets…
Also in focus in the “Brexit”… and whether an exit of Britain out of the EU will impact markets…
The short answer is “absolutely” as uncertainty drives markets….
So… What's on today?

This is the first official image of the MV Agusta MotoGP race bike slotted to make its debut in the Moto2 series of 2019.
Previewed on the official MotoGP website, the Forward Racing Team will race the MV Agusta with support from the Italian factory.
This is not the first time that MV Agusta will be racing in Grand Prix motorcycle racing, in fact, MV Agusta still is the most successful European motorcycle manufacturer of all time with a total of 75 world titles between 1952 and 1974.
Let that sink in for a while.
Check out the official video from the Forward Racing Team as they work on their new race bike.
A brief history
MV Agusta, which stands for Meccanica Verghera Agusta, was founded in 1945 in Cascina Costa, Italy.
If you’re wondering, Meccanica means Mechanic in Italian, Verghera is the hamlet where the first motorcycle’s were made. And Agusta was originally an aviation company which was formed by a certain Count Giovanni Agusta in 1923.
Just like Ferrari, MV Agusta originally built road bikes solely to fund its racing efforts. The company won the first race it participated in 1948, and it all went up-hill from there.
The company was known to build the best racing bikes in the world, and spared no expense in its passion to pursue the ultimate race bike.
Soon customer teams lined up to buy a MV Agusta, and this boosted the factory’s profits and gave them more money to build better bikes.
In 1957, Italian motorcycle manufacturers Gilera, Moto Guzzi and Mondial had agreed to withdraw from GP racing due to its escalating cost. MV Agusta too had earlier agreed to withdraw, but ended up racing anyway. The company went on to win 17 consecutive 500cc world championships.
When Count Domenico Agusta, son of the founder who had died in 1927, died in 1971, the company is said to have lost its direction. MV Agusta won its last GP in 1976 and completely withdrew from racing in 1976. And it was all downhill for the company from there, until it was resurrected by Cagiva in 1991. The rest as they say, is history.
Here’s hoping the iconic Italian brand comes back to its winning ways and finds it way up to MotoGP.
It was only last month that MV Agusta that they will be returning to the world of MotoGP in 2019 after a 42-year absence. A four-year deal has been signed with the Forward Racing team which will see them compete in a brand new reworked intermediate class that will run Triumph’s 765cc inline-three engine. (more…)
It’s been a while since we last saw or heard the name MV Agusta being mentioned in the MotoGP universe. After over 40 years of absence, the premium Italian bike manufacturer has confirmed their return to the Grand Prix scene next season. (more…)

Ate Thanksgiving … it was delicious ❤
We had the most wonderful server and he also was the bartender! Food was delicious as always! We had a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner m. Thanks so much!
Excellent food and excellent service, we will be back again, thank you to all the staff that came in and worked on Thanksgiving day.
Pretty good but turkey was dry. Good pumpkin pie. Love the rolls and honey butter.
Excellent food and service! Unfortunately, there was a large group nearby that was excessively loud and distracting.
Servers and manager were standing around by the bar talking politics and the results of the Rittenhouse case and how they thought he should have gone to jail and about gun laws. We really did not need to hear that conversation during our meal.
The service was great overall. My wife steak was well done and she ordered it medium well.. My chicken fried steak was amazing. The appetizer was great. And the steak soup was delicious.
Enjoyed the food and the ambience, however this time the service was not up to par. Our waiter seemed to be overwhelmed by the amount of tables he was responsible for. My lemonade was empty and he filled it with water. I had to ask for another lemonade.
Hereford House was a perfect restaurant for a cozy 10th anniversary dinner. Delicious and reasonably priced 4 course meal for two plus some cocktails. Hostess and waiter made a point to wish us a happy anniversary repeatedly. Would definitely return and recommend to all.
Visited for a special birthday dinner. The kitchen noise was awfully loud and several times it was so loud it interrupted or conversation. Service was lacking, didn't get wine until third time we asked, and food was good but not up to Hereford House standards. Thought we had picked a nice restaurant with nice ambiance for a special night out but ended up being no better than a standard bar & grill experience for three times the cost.
We had a nice dinner for a birthday. It was good to sit down and have very good food with outstanding service. The steaks were our favorite.
Great customer service and food was good. The booth was small and not very comfortable
We enjoyed our dinner, the service and our waitress. We will return in the near future
We went for Veterans Day dinner. Things were fine until our entrees were served. I ordered the salmon dinner and after carefully eating half of my salmon and finding 4 2” bones I decided to stop. I brought it to the attention of our server who sent the manager over. He said they didn’t debone the fish there. Someone called “they” do it before it comes. I explained that I didn’t want to eat any more as I didn’t want to eat a bone. He offered to bring me a couple of shrimp or a small piece of salmon. Really? He never offered to replace my meal or comp it. He acted like it was no big deal to find bones in the salmon and his offers seemed petty for an expensive restaurant. He did send a dessert for free. It didn’t feel like we were in a nice restaurant where we were paying $26 for an entree. The manager was not apologetic and acted line we were trying to rip them off. (Like I carry 4 salmon bones in my purse!) Not sure we’ll think of Hereford House the next time we have a special occasion. Very disappointed in the attitude and service.
Took 15 minutes once we got seated for our waitress to realize we were even there! Had to ask another server to get her! Food was excellent! Service was lacking!
The food and service was amazing. Try the prime rib.
Very nice restaurant dress up or down. Very good steak.
Sometimes it’s a “hit and miss” with the steaks. But the steaks were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection!! We had a top notch waitress by the name of Linda A. who gave us the best service ever. I wanted to tell the manager about her when we left but he was busy and I didn’t want to interrupt him. We were celebrating the birth of our first grandson and Linda A made the evening great for us.
We eat there quite often and we always have a great meal meat and seafood was cooked right. The service was great.
We had a very nice experience. Dinner was excellent, dessert was the bomb ! Atmosphere was nice and comfortable. Service from our waitress was excellent, she was very helpful and attentive. Would recommend to anyone.
Our expectations were high, as we were there to celebrate. The honey wings appetizer was tasty, but dry. Both our steaks were cooked to the desired temperatures, but the seasoning / marinade was awful it overwhelmed the natural flavor if the meat. My lobster was terrible. It came out looking and tasting soggy. The asparagus and steamed veggies were the best part of my meal. It was the worst experience we've ever had there. We were also told by a manager that their recipes had changed for the third time and several patrons had complained and were not impressed. We were seated in the bar area and our waiter was inattentive to say the least. He never once filled our water glasses.
This was our anniversary night out. The food was very good and we enjoyed it very much. Linda our waitress was fantastic. We really enjoyed her. She was helpful and very good in conversation with us. Overall it was a great experience. The first time we have eaten at Herford House was back in 1968 downtown. That was the night I proposed to my wife. Herford House has always been a great restaurant.
As always our experience here was great. We come every year for my sons birthday.
Not sure what happened to this restaurant, but the food was horrible, I asked for lightly season on my steak and it came out just as if I didn't make the request, the food just isn't what it's used to be, overall very disappointed with taste of food as well as service.
It was 2 hours and 15 minutes from the time we walked in to walk out, took 45 minutes for out starter the averaged 20 minutes between dishes. Service always good but. Or in a timely fashion
Service and Food was excellent. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind comments. We hope to be of service to you again soon!
I will never return to your restaurant because of the poor service I received from your host personnel. She was extremely RUDE.
Long wait even with reservations. Ambience is not conducive for private conversations and noise level is quite noticeable.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We are disappointed to hear you are not completely satisfied with your recent visit. We will relay your comments to our team at Zona Rosa. We hope you can give us another chance in the future!
Great food! A bit pricey on some things. Overall very good
Great food, great service. I have I’ll eat here again. Loved it!
Thank you so much for your positive comments about our Independence location! We look forward to your next visit. Take care!
It was our Anniversary dinner and we were prepared for a nice, quiet dinner with great service and food. It was quite the opposite. Our server was awful! He barely said a word to us all evening, and when my husband ordered another round of drinks, he brought him his beer but no wine for me. When my husband told him he forgot my wine, no apology was given, no word was spoken. We were seated close to the kitchen and all we could hear was banging and yelling from the kitchen. Also, I had decided to change my order right at first, but we were charged for both of the orders I had made. My husband told him about this, and again NO apology. Perhaps if we hadn't been seated by the kitchen and we had had a decent server, things might have been better. The food was okay. My husband's ribeye was good, but my Cod was just so so. My Ceasar salad had way too much dressing on it for me. We won't be going there again ever!
The food and the service were excellent. I highly recommend The Hereford House.
We're glad you had such a wonderful experience with us! Thank you for your recommendation and this positive review. We look forward to your next visit to our Zona Rosa location!
Service was above average and food was outstanding esp. prime and medallions!!
We're so glad that we were able to go above and beyond your expectations! Thank you for this amazing review. We hope to see you again soon!
The food was so good. The steak was perfect melt in your mouth steak. Will definitely go back if we come to Kansas City again.
We're glad you had such a wonderful experience with us! Thank you for your kind comments about our restaurant. We look forward to your next visit when you are in Kansas City.
Outside patio is lovely for people watching. Larry our bartender is the best. All servers are awesome.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed dining on our patio. We look forward to your next visit!
Very good food for the value. Our server did not check on us much . She was standing with another server at the booth next to us, looked over and saw that we had a plate empty and at the end of the table signaling it could be taken away and another server came by several minutes later to get it. He wasn't our server but he was going by and saw it and picked it up anyway. Good for him! Otherwise, our experience was great!
Amazing! We will definitely be back to the Hereford House. Good and service were both phenomenal and couldn’t have loved the experience more.
From the minute we walked in & was greeted by the host was Wonderful. He sat us in a quiet area which was perfect. Our Waiter Mike was Outstanding & his recommendations were terrific. NY strip was Excellent & the Prime rib was the best I've ever had. Out of all the places we could have chosen for dinner in Kansas City the restaurant & the waiter was Top Notch. We look forward to returning the next time we are in KC.
My first visit for dinner at this location as I usually frequent Independence but had a delightful waitress by the name of LINDA who is very attentive and caring.
Our food was very good our dessert was very good and our coffee and drinks were wonderful.
I really enjoyed this dinner outing and want to say thank you especially to our server Linda for helping make this such a pleasant experience
Thank you for your amazing review! We are more than happy to relay your comments to our team at Zona Rosa, including Linda. We look forward to your next visit. Take care!

Background: Preventing smoking and encouraging smokers to quit smoking is a public health priority in developing countries. As eighty percent of tobacco users begin smoking before they reach adulthood there is a need for youth focused tobacco control policies. Yet most developing countries have focused primarily on regulatory measures such as price control, restricting tobacco access and health warning on packages. Past studies have identified the need for incorporating mass media campaigns in developing an effective and comprehensive tobacco control. Purpose: Based on the theoretical hypothesis that more informed youths are more likely to choose healthy lifestyle, the objective of this study is to assess the impact of exposure to anti –smoking messages on smoking intensions amongst youths. Design: A randomised controlled experiment will be carried out to compare youths’ responses to a set of anti-smoking messages. Subjects: The total target sample is 1200 high school students between the ages of 13-18. Based on the smoking status the students will be grouped into either experimenting with smoking or susceptible nonsmokers or non susceptible non smokers. Main outcome measures: Smoking intensions measured before and after exposure to the anti–smoking advertisements. Implications: This ensures that the campaign concept and messages have the desired impact on the target audience when implemented country wide and also addresses areas where the campaign material may require adaptation.

Letter to Administrator Johnson, Environmental Protection Agency
LETTER TO U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REQUESTING A FORMAL REVIEW OF THE PERMIT ISSUED BY THE STATE OF INDIANA FOR BP'S WHITING PLANT
Dear Administrator Johnson:
We are writing to request a formal review by the Environmental Protection Agency of the egregious National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) to BP PLC for its Whiting, Indiana refinery facility.
We support BP's innovative approach to addressing our energy crisis, but not at the expense of our most precious natural resource. The Great Lakes are the world's largest freshwater system and serve as a source of drinking water, food, jobs and recreation for more than forty million Americans. It is critical that we enhance our restoration efforts for this critical resource, not degrade the condition of the lakes even further.
The permit issued by IDEM will allow BP to increase its discharge of ammonia by 54 percent and its discharge of total suspended solids by 35 percent. This amounts to an additional 554 pounds of ammonia and 1,279 pounds of treated waste per day being dumped into our source of drinking water. These staggering figures are wholly contradictory to the intent of the Clean Water Act, which seeks to minimize the degradation of our water quality. We are deeply concerned that a permit of this nature was issued.
We therefore request a review of the permit to include the following:
1) Ensure it is in compliance with Sec. 303(d)(4) of the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 131.12 of federal EPA regulations which outline antidegradation policies.
2) Ensure it is in compliance with 40 CFR 132, which outlaws mixing zones for Bioaccumulative Chemicals of Concern (BCC). While we understand that no mixing zone has been granted for mercury, a BCC, it is concerning that the permit acknowledges that Mercury has been found in the effluent in quantities that show a reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards. The permit requires compliance of a final effluent limitation only after five years.
We also request a review of process under which IDEM satisfied these provisions.
As both Congress and the Administration work to protect and restore the Great Lakes, it is unacceptable to allow an increase in harmful discharge of this magnitude. We urge you to immediately review this permit and look forward to your response.

Creative Cloud is a service that lets you create your digital art and make it free.
The idea is to create a story for a brand new product that’s going to be released soon.
It’s similar to the Google Art Studio, a free creative studio that’s now in its third iteration.
There are two versions of Creative Cloud: the Creative Cloud Starter and the Creative Studio.
Both versions have a free version that includes a bunch of templates, a story, and some other features.
The free version of Creative Studio includes templates, story, a logo, and more.
In the Creative Starter version, you’ll be able to create unlimited stories with the story creator and then share it with your followers.
There’s also a free trial version, but it costs $10 a month and includes all the features you’ll need.
Creative Cloud also has a Creative Suite subscription option.
Creative Suite is a paid suite that’s much more extensive.
There is a Creative Story Creator and a Creative Studio Story Creator, a Story Maker, a Creative Designer, and even a Creative Assistant.
The story creator is the one who creates the story and then sends it to the creative team.
You can also create your story using the Creative Suite story editor.
The Story Maker is the person who creates and adds your story to the story editor, which is used by other people to add text and graphics to the stories you create.
The Creative Studio has the Story Maker and the Story Editor.
You also get a story editor that can help you create and share your story.
It also comes with a Story Builder tool, which you can use to create and edit your own stories.
The more stories you add, the more creative you’ll get with your story, according to Creative Cloud.
It can even make your story more complex if you need to add more elements.
There will be a $9.99 annual subscription fee, and you have to pay it upfront to get started.
The one downside to Creative Suite, which costs $49 a year, is that it doesn’t have any offline features.
You have to log in to your Creative Cloud account to add them.
Creative Studio costs $99 a year and it includes all of the features that you get with Creative Suite.

It’s time to end the pervasive silence surrounding early pregnancy loss and provide better support to grieving families.
We will continue to raise awareness and provide support for those who experience the unnecessary trauma from health professionals, communities and workplaces. There is no #AtLeast.
What is #AtLeast?
Instead of feeling validated and supported during an early pregnancy loss, many families are faced with “at least” reactions from well-intentioned partners, family, friends and colleagues.
“At least it happened early”
“At least nature took its course”
“At least you are young and can try again”
“At least you already have other children”
“At least you know you can fall pregnant”
Pink Elephants #AtLeast campaign, has encouraged women and families to share their experiences with hearing “at least” while encouraging society to learn better ways to support grieving families.
#AtLeast Featured in
Saying “at least” to a person or family experiencing early pregnancy loss minimises their capacity to grieve — it’s an often well-intentioned but painful message to them that their grief is unimportant or unwarranted.
Such responses would not be acceptable when discussing any other kind of loss such as a stillbirth, or the death of a family member — and they should not be acceptable when discussing the loss of a much wanted baby.
We want to smash the narrative of #AtLeast so it becomes a socially unacceptable framework.

Unilever Faces Headaches Over Potential GSK Deal
If Unilever succeeds in buying the outfit that owns Advil and Excedrin, it may need to avail itself of those pain relievers. The company must be getting headaches from investor gripes about the potential deal. It has tried to respond, but not very well.
Over the weekend, news broke that consumer-products giant Unilever made three offers for GSK Consumer Healthcare, a joint venture between GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer. The last tender rang in at $68 billion. The leak forced London-based Unilever to issue a brief note of confirmation. GSK also released a statement saying it rejected the proposals as too low.
On Monday, Unilever put out a much lengthier statement trying to explain why it so desperately covets the deal. The Hellmann’s mayo maker sees consumer health as a growth area for it as it relaxes its food focus. “We believe that this would be an attractive and synergistic combination for the shareholders of Unilever,” it wrote. Unfortunately, the press release contained a lot of that kind of corporatese.
CEO Alan Jope also held a call with reporters. “We are looking for competitive, responsible growth and don’t conflate this activity with a defensive mindset,” he said.
The company was expected to sweeten its offer (maybe with some of its Ben & Jerry’s ice cream?), but on Wednesday it said it wouldn’t. Case closed? We’ll see.
The problem is that, while many financial analysts agree it should fixate on growth, they also think over-the-counter drugs won’t cut the (Colman’s) mustard (another of its brands). And Unilever isn’t exactly an OTC-drug expert.
“Initial feedback on the deal from investors over the weekend has been almost uniformly negative,” Jefferies analyst Martin Deboo was quoted in The Wall Street Journal.
We are looking for competitive, responsible growth and don’t conflate this activity with a defensive mindset.
— Unilever CEO Alan Jope
Cynics believe the proposed acquisition is a way for Unilever to distract from its lackluster performance. Its stock is down about 15 percent the past year and has been in the doldrums for five.
The brickbats over the deal resemble those tossed by investors who complain that the company obsesses too much over ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues and that it does so to cover up its shortcomings. Many observers accuse it of being too focused on being a goody two shoes rather than minding the top and bottom lines.
Obviously, ESG is a big topic these days, one that presents challenges for many companies. How well Unilever navigates that is up for debate.
For example, the company uses the word “purpose” a lot. Terry Smith of Fundsmith LLP, a major Unilever investor, wrote in a recent shareholder letter: “A company which feels it has to define the purpose of Hellmann’s mayonnaise has in our view clearly lost the plot.”
If all this gives Unilever agita, a successful deal would bring yet another relief elixir: GSK owns Tums antacids.

Ahh it's Wednesday and that means a new challenge over at Stampin' Royalty. This week it's an inspiration challenge using the photo below.Like many of the SR Goddesses, I was inspired by the banners in the photo. I used the new set 'Party This Way' for my card because of the fabulous banner stamps. I felt that the colours really popped against the kraft (crumb cake) background. I also stamped some fireworks in the background to give some texture to the kraft. They are from the new set 'Canada Day'. There is a similar set called 'July 4' in the American Catalogue I believe.
The Fun Stuff:
1. Paper – Crumb Cake, Whisper White
2. Stamps – Party This Way, Canada Day
3. Ink – Concord Crush, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Crumb Cake
4. Accessories – Pumpkin Pie 1/8” taffeta ribbon, Small black eyelets, Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I am quite new here. Been reading a lot of threads but never posted anything.
Here is my first contribution with a question.
I wanted to see what would happen if I put a tomato plant inside a sealed jar and just left if there.
Now it has started to grow roots directly out of the stem.
What is the reason/how can it happen?
Does it have to do with the high level of humidity inside the jar?
Roots growing from the stem?
Tomatoes are easily capable of growing roots from stem cuttings. Look for online articles on tomato stem cuttings. I am currently propagating stem cuttings from several heirloom plants where I had earlier growing problems and want more than one of those plants. I place a cup with water at the base of the plant and cut one or more suckers. This way I know the variety. A week or ten days later there are roots. I pot the suckers, keep them wet initially and slowly adapt them to life in soil. Then into the ground.

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy Metal band.
Originally released in August 1988, it was the first release on producer Rick Rubin's new label, Def American Recordings. Def American's successor, American Recordings, reissued the album.
Danzig debuts with a record of simple, pounding, Bluesy Metal, featuring lead singer Glenn Danzig's trademark "Elvis-meets-Jim Morrison" below and outlandishly dark, evil lyrics. It is a crunchy and lusty demonic cross between The Doors, Misfits and Black Sabbath. The album provides a heavy dose of pure entertainment that has awesome momentum and pile-driving fury. The band powers its way through such signature tunes as "Twist of Cain", "Am I Demon", and the hit "Mother" with a primal energy. "Danzig" becomes more impressive with every listen.
James Hetfield of Metallica recorded some backing vocals on track "Twist of Cain", as well as backing vocals on track "Possession". However, due to contractual reasons, he could not be credited on the album insert. Track “The Hunter” is a re-written version of a Blues song, originally performed by Albert King in 1967.
Music videos were released for the songs "Twist of Cain", "Am I Demon", "Mother" and "She Rides". Upon its release, the music video for "Mother" was banned by MTV for containing controversial imagery.
The album remains the band's best-selling, having been certified Gold in the U.S. in 1994, and has since been certified Platinum.
In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked "Danzig" as 23rd on their list of 'The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time'.

CAIRO: Defense Minister Field Marshal Abdel Fatah al-Sisi added more speculation to his possible candidacy in the upcoming presidential elections during a Tuesday ceremony at the Egyptian Military Academy.
When commenting on his potential candidacy in the presidential elections, Sisi said no one can ignore the will of the Egyptian people or turn his back on their desires.
Sisi also said the Armed Forces are dedicated to their country and are willing to sacrifice anything for the Egyptian people.
There are many tasks that must be completed regarding the challenges currently facing Egypt, said Sisi, adding that anyone who runs for president has many responsibilities ahead of them.
Sisi called on all Egyptians to unite in order to confront any threats or dangers facing Egypt, adding that the success of Egypt is not connected to any figure alone, it only relies on Egyptians’ will to build their future.

Therapeutic success can only be achieved when diagnoses are as precise as possible. Nowadays, genetic analyses can make precise diagnoses for many diseases. And thanks to high-throughput technology, results are available to patients very quickly. Dr. Dr. Saskia Biskup recognised the importance of precision medicine many years ago and went on to found CeGaT GmbH, a company that combines human genetics with high-throughput sequencing. Three subsidiaries have since been created and Biskup, a medical doctor by training, would under no circumstances give up her autonomy for a purely academic career.

There are many medications for treating central nervous system diseases. However, only a fraction of the active pharmaceutical ingredients actually reaches the site where they are needed. The reason for this is the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain and thus prevents many drugs used to treat neurological diseases from effectively penetrating the brain. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB are part of the international N2B-patch consortium that is developing a drug delivery technology for treating multiple sclerosis that enables the active ingredient to reach the brain directly via the nasal mucosa.

A fake immigration attorney has agreed to plead guilty to participating in a fraud scheme in which phony employment visas and other bogus documents were created for foreign nationals.
Those foreign nationals were seeking a way to remain in the United States legally, according to court documents filed Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Alexander Smirnoff, who also went by the name “Alex Scott,” was among three defendants charged in October in a 16-count indictment alleging conspiracy, visa fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and identification fraud.
Smirnoff, 49, of Corona, will plead guilty to one count each of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft on a date to be determined, according to his plea agreement, filed in Los Angeles federal court. The identity theft count carries a mandatory minimum sentence of two years behind bars.
Prosecutors allege Smirnoff and his co-defendants told prospective clients they operated a consulting firm called ABC Flex, which purported to offer “legal support” to foreign nationals wanting to obtain immigration benefits that would enable them to stay in the United States.
For fees as high as $8,000, the services offered by the defendants included creating phony employment visas, which they told clients were genuine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Investigators determined that the recipients of those “visas,” many of whom originally came to the U.S. as students, did not realize the documentation was fake until immigration agents contacted them for overstaying their original expired student visas, prosecutors said.
In one instance, a foreign national ABC Flex client did not become aware her documentation was forged until she was denied entry upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to Nepal to teach English. She told investigators she frantically contacted the defendants, who said they would remedy the situation, but then stopped responding to her inquiries, prosecutors said.
The indictment alleges that as part of the scheme, the defendants furnished their foreign national clients with forged letters purportedly issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and I-94 Arrival/Departure Records that falsely appeared to give the recipients permission to remain in the U.S. legally. The documents bore the Department of Homeland Security seal and appeared to be on official USCIS letterhead.
Additionally, the indictment alleges the defendants provided some of their clients with what they purported were valid Social Security numbers, when in fact the numbers either belonged to someone else or were invalid.
Investigators have located and interviewed about a dozen individuals who sought immigration services from the defendants, but authorities believe there may be more than 100 still unidentified, unwitting victims, according to court documents.
Court papers show that co-defendant Ekaterina Vladimirovna Zamurueva, 28, has agreed to plead guilty to a wire fraud count. The third defendant, Anna Kirillovna Solodovnikova, 29, has not yet come to an agreement with prosecutors.

Travel is back on the agenda with the Victorian government handing out more travel vouchers for eligible seniors who missed out in the first round.
Each voucher will be worth $200 and available to seniors who spend a minimum amount of $400 on tours, accommodation and travel related initiatives in Victoria. Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said that people should get back out there and explore the best of what the state has to offer.
“I would recommend that any senior Victorian who made application through our ballot process for a travel voucher check their email today and see if they are indeed a recipient of these additional vouchers that have been made available,” Ms Thomas said.
“”It’s a really great time with school holidays upon us to take the opportunity perhaps to get out with grandchildren and spend some time with them and, importantly, take the opportunity to have a couple of nights away”
It was mentioned that the scheme has put $159 million into the state economy since it was first introduced. 35,000 people applied for the first round back in March with the Aussie government also heavily investing in bringing the world back to Australia.
Minister for Trade, Tourism, and Investment Dan Tehan detailed that over 225 projects worth $43 billion are currently in the works.
“Australia is the best place in the world to take a holiday and this data demonstrates that we are investing in the future to support local jobs and businesses and to ensure we remain a world-leading tourist destination,” Mr Tehan said.
“Investors are clearly confident about Australia’s future as a world-class tourism destination, and the projects establish a firm foundation on which to build Australia’s tourism recovery.
Projects are being carried out in the accommodation sector, arts, as well as regional tourism. Over 42 projects were completed from 2020 to 2021 despite the pandemic.


NAPA Racing UK had mixed fortunes in the opening race of the 2023 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season as Dan Cammish sealed the opening win at Donington Park but there was strife for his team-mate and championship favourite, Ash Sutton off the line.
Sutton, Colin Turkington and Josh Cook all were handicapped by different incidents with the former seeing Jake Hill go in between both Sutton and his team-mate and pole sitter, Dan Rowbottom and with slight contact as Sutton went across, he went off into the grass.
He went into the pit lane but it was terminal as water was pouring out of the engine and car and this allowed the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport BMW to fire ahead of Cammish, Tom Ingram and Dan Rowbottom.
Turkington was another that was caught up in the initial melee and finished just outside the top 10. Cammish bided his time at the front with a front three developing and took his chance towards the end of the race surging side-by-side into the Craner Curves with Hill on Lap 19.
Hill remained behind with Ingram in his own battle as the story of qualifying became the story of the race with rookie, Andrew Watson on his very first BTCC outing making his way up to sixth then disposing of Ricky Collard and Dan Rowbottom to grab fourth and pushed the reigning champion towards the end.
Only running out of hybrid stopped a potential first podium for the CarStore Power Maxed Racing driver who has sent a statement that he will be one to watch in what is an ageing car in the Vauxhall Astra.
Rowbottom and Collard finished behind as Adam Morgan and George Gamble, with the latter valiantly surging from 17th to 8th with no hybrid used after a poor qualifying starting his first outing with Toyota Gazoo Racing UK well as Cook sat inside of the top ten after his early dramas.
Post race, Jake Hill was handed a four place grid penalty for the incident with Sutton and will now start Race Two from fifth place meaning the order is now Cammish, Ingram, Watson and Rowbottom.
