The Christmas Gift…a boy's memories.
By: Rodney Miller
I had a dream the other night. I dreamed I was a small boy again back at home and it seemed so real. It was nearly Christmas and I was helping Momma decorate a small cedar tree that I had cut from the mountain behind our house. We were singing Christmas songs as I untangled the lights to be strung on our little tree. We had used the same decorations year after year and they were beginning to look a little aged. Some of the bulbs didn't work or had lost part of their luster, the garland had been broken and retied, and the icicles were really a mess. But after Mom was finished, the tree look like a masterpiece.
The last thing to go on the tree was the tree topper, a small angel with feathered wings and it was something Dad always did, but Dad wasn't there, so Momma asked me if I would place the angel at the top of our Christmas tree. Momma handed me the angel and warned me to be careful as I climbed into a chair to reach the top. I gently placed the angel at the top of the tree and climbed down to check how the angel looked. Momma then handed me the extension cord that went to the lights and I plugged it into the wall outlet. It was the most beautiful tree I had ever seen.
Everything on the tree looked brand new again. The lights sparkled like diamonds, colorful and bright. The icicles moved as if there was a slight breeze blowing them, reflecting the colored lights. The Christmas bells never looked more stunning. They too, seemed to be dancing with the Christmas music. And the angel at the top of the tree, well she was shinning like the evening star as her wings also fluttered gently.
I had to take a step back to really take in the full beauty. Yep, Momma and me had decorated what I believed was the most beautiful Christmas tree ever. We were both so proud. The only thing missing I thought, were the presents that would be underneath the tree on Christmas morning. But Santa would take care of that, I was sure.
We then made our way to the kitchen and Momma asked if I wanted to help her with the cooking. Of course, I jumped at the chance. We began to mix the dough for the Christmas cookies, rolling it out with her rolling pin to cut out trees, snowflakes, snowmen and Santas. She then handed me the green and red colored sugar to sprinkle on the tops, I really felt like I was helping and not just in the way. Then, she began making chocolate and peanut butter candy, both turning out perfectly.
She even made me a German Chocolate cake, my favorite of all her delicious cakes. After covering the cake heavily with icing, she gave me the bowl with the left over icing knowing how much I liked to scrape the bowl with a spoon to get ever last drop.
It seemed like old times again. Everything was perfect. The tree was beautiful and I got to put on the angel. The cookies and candies were the best ever. And my cake, well it was a masterpiece. But one thing was missing. Momma and me were the only two people there. I went from room to room and I couldn't find anyone else. I ran out the front door and yelled to my brothers and sisters and no one answered.
I turned to walked back inside the house and noticed the house had suddenly changed. Now, our
house was empty. The beautiful Christmas tree was gone. The cookies, candies and cake weren't anywhere to be found. Again, I called for my brothers and sisters but all I heard was silence. I called out to Momma and she never answered. I walked from room to room looking everywhere for her but all the rooms were empty. I was all alone.
I was sad as I made my way to the front door to leave. Then, I noticed something in the corner of the living room. Something was glowing. As I walked closer, I realized it was the angel Momma had let me place on top of our tree. I slowly walked over and picked it up and noticed the angel had a Christmas tag attached to it. On the tag was a picture of a Christmas tree just like the one we had decorated with the angel at the top. I opened the card and it read " Merry Christmas Rodney, Love, Momma."
Then, I awoke with my eyes wet with tears. The dream seemed so real that it took a little while for me to realize that it was only a dream. I lay there for a few minutes thinking about the dream and what it meant. I then realized that memories of my Momma would never leave me; she would always be there. All I have to do is, just close my eyes.
"Merry Christmas Momma." Love, Rodney.

I had rarely ever heard Momma so upset. She was tore all to pieces. "Do you know what your brother Ronnie did?" Momma asked me over the phone.
"No, Momma. What did Ronnie do?" I answered not expecting the story she was about to tell me.
"Well, you know he had them chickens out there in the pen," Momma started.
"Yeah, what about his chickens?" I asked.
"Well, it seems he was getting tired of taking care of them and feeding them. And, I told you how he was giving me brown eggs off of 'em and you know how I like brown eggs," she continued.
"Yep, there's nothing like country brown eggs. I love 'em too," I squeezed in between her ranting.
"And if I would have known he didn't want 'em anymore, I would have loved to have had 'em," Momma went on.
"What did he do with the chickens, Momma?" I asked in wonder.
"He paid somebody to kill and dress his laying hens for a church dinner. And when I asked him about what they had done with the egg bags, he said I guess they threw 'em away. Now Rodney, you know how much I love a hen's egg bag and Ronnie knew that too." Momma explained. "I would have given anything for them egg bags. I ain't had any in so long I can't remember. They make the best dumplings. You know that."
"Yeah, I remember Momma. They sure do make good dumplings. But I don't think Ronnie thought anything about saving the egg bags for you," I said trying to calm her down a little.
"Lord what I wouldn't have given for those egg bags. Since I ain't raised chickens in a long time I've thought time and time again about buying me a couple of big fattening hens just for their egg bags," Momma said pitiful like. "If I knew where they threw 'em away at I would go get 'em. All I would have to do is wash 'em out real good."
"I don't know about that Momma. I doubt if I would eat 'em if they've been laying out overnight," I told her. "I'll bet the dogs have eaten 'em up by now anyway."
"You're probably right. I'm sure them dogs had a mighty good meal. But I can't understand why he wouldn't have thought how much I love 'em and had them people to save 'em for me. Why if he would have told me he was going to dress out them hens, I would have done it for nothing, just to get the egg bags," Momma said sounding like maybe she was calming down a bit.
"I can go to the store and get some chicken fat. That makes good dumplings, don't it?" I asked.
"Nothing like a good egg bag full of those little undeveloped eggs. Why there's as many as a dozen of 'em in a egg bag and there's nothing no better to me." Momma sighed.
I could tell that she really had her heart now set on getting her hands on a couple of egg bags. If she didn't we would never hear the end of it.
"Momma why don't me and you go to the stock sale Tuesday morning and buy you a couple of hens," I asked trying to figure out a way to satisfy her hunger for egg bags.
"No. That's too far to go for laying hens. I'll get on the trading post in the morning and find me some hens," Momma told me.
Well the next day Momma calls again. "I bought me two fattening hens but they cost me a purtty penny. I had to pay $6.00 each. I know that was too much to pay but I got my hens," Momma said triumphantly.
"Sounds like you did Momma. Now when do we get the dumplings?" I asked jokingly.
"That's what I called you about. They're almost done. When Margy gets home you two come on up and I'll feed you the best dumplings you've ever tasted," Momma bragged.
Well, we did and they were.
That was the last time I can remember Momma cooking her delicious dumplings. Not long after that she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and lost most of her cooking skills. But as I write this memory down in words I can still see that big smile on her face as I took my first bite of her dumplings that evening.
Momma was right. The egg bags had made them better than any of the other ones before that I could remember.
I really miss those dumplings and I'm sure glad Momma got her egg bags. I had never seen her more happier.

Tough Jack, Wire Pliers and Alcohol …a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
It was a long way to town and a dentist cost money. Money that was usually needed for something more important than having a tooth pulled. Anyways, we had the best dentist for miles around. Her name was Dr. Mom and the doctor was always in.
Pulling teeth was Momma's specialty. But most times, loosing a tooth involved a little pain. The reward for a tooth was a shiny quarter left under our pillow by the tooth fairy. The more teeth that came out, the more money!
Sometimes a tooth either just fell our on it's own or it was removed with force. Here are some of the ways Dr. Mom used force when she had to get out a stubborn tooth.
The first method tried was Momma just asking to touch the loose tooth to feel if it was ready to come out. If it was loose enough she had it out most times before we even knew it. But this trick only worked one time. After that, everyone knew not to let Momma a hold of a loose tooth or it would be out "lickety split" whether the tooth was ready or not.
If we refused to let Momma touch the tooth while we were awake she would sometimes wait until we were asleep and try to pull it. If she were successful she would most times wake us gently holding the tooth explaining how she "found the tooth on our pillow".
The next one I recall was the "string and doorknob" trick. This method involved tying one end of a string around the loose tooth and the other end around the front doorknob. After the string, which was sewing thread, was tied to the tooth, the person who had the loose tooth either waited for someone to open the front door or someone quickly yanked the string themselves. Either way a tooth was sure to come out as long as the string was strong enough.
Another way for her to remove a loose tooth was using the "sticky" method. The way this one worked was, Momma either made a sticky taffy from molasses called "tough jack" or bought us a Sugar Daddy to chew on. Either one of these super-sticky candies would bring out any loose tooth they came into contact with. I remember more than once biting on a tough-jack and coming out with a tooth stuck to it.
When none of the above worked to remove a loose tooth, out came the pliers. And I'm not talking about the pliers a dentist uses. I'm talking about a pair of wire pliers. The ones like you work or a car or a bicycle with.
But before the pliers could be used they were sterilized thoroughly by washing them in a dishpan of water and then drenching them in Swan brand rubbing alcohol. The alcohol was something we used a lot. All cuts and scrapes got plenty of it to kill the germs. It burned like fire on a fresh cut.
But when the tooth had to come out, it had to come out, one way or another. And the worse part of it was seeing those wire pliers coming at your mouth knowing that Dr. Mom wouldn't stop until the tooth was out. She would latch a hold on that loose tooth and with some twisting, cracking and pulling the tooth finally would give up.
And all of this was done without any painkiller for the kids. Unless you counted the two Bayer "baby" aspirin we took minutes earlier. But before the aspirin had time to dull the pain the pliers were in and the tooth was out. It still hurts just thinking about it.
After the tooth was pulled we rinsed our mouth out with warm salt water. When the blood and water mixed it looked a lot worse than it actually was as we spit out the red fluid. Next, a piece of cotton taken from the Bayer aspirin bottle went in the now vacant hole to slow the bleeding.
When we thought we had given the gums time enough to stop bleeding we removed the cotton and rinsed again. But this time with a little rubbing alcohol mixed in with the water. Momma always said that alcohol would either cure or kill just about anything.
The grown ups were a little more fortunate. Sometimes they got the other kind of pain killer, distilled alcohol. A few drinks of moonshine or whiskey and the patient wouldn't feel it if all their teeth were pulled.
Yep, times sure were different back then. Sometimes now I even laugh a little when I think about them. But one thing was for sure; we didn't need a dentist as long as we had Dr. Mom.

The year I think was late 1965 or maybe early 1966, but finally, phone service had come to Paw Paw. It was a much-anticipated wait. With lots of begging, we eventually talked Dad into getting us hooked on to the "party line".
Those younger than me probably won't understand what I'm talking about and those as old as me will understand perfectly. The phone line was most times a blessing, sometimes a headache, but always entertaining.
What "party line" meant was, more than one family shared your phone service. The line up Paw Paw had six families fighting for possession of who got to use the phone. The correct way for a polite person, who picked up the phone while it was already in use, would be to hang up the phone after apologizing for interrupting the conservation.
Usually, I would wait about 5 or 10 minutes and again pick up the receiver to check if the line was still busy. Next, I would wait about 2 minutes and if the line were still in use, I would ask how long would it be before I would be able to use the phone. Most of the time, everyone shared equally because everyone knew all parties on the line. But sometimes, it was a battle over the use of the telephone.
If someone was made mad, they would merely lay the receiver off the hook and no one could use the phone until they got over their mad spell. Many times when somebody on my line left the phone off the hook, I would do some pretty crazy things to try to get him or her to hang up the phone. I would first try yelling in the phone really loud, "Would you please hang up the phone?"
If that didn't work after about repeating my request for about fifty times, I would resort to other measures. I would get a loud whistle and blow it constantly for about 5 minutes or until Momma or Dad made me stop. I would sometimes turn on the radio really loud playing rock music, or as the older neighbors called it, "the Devil's music!" And if that didn't work, then I would start apologizing for being so rude and hope they felt sorry for me and hung it up.
When that didn't work, I would walk to my neighbors and beg politely, "Please hang up the phone. I'm so sorry about the whistle, it wasn't me, it was my little brother Carlos, he thinks he's a policeman. I won't let him do it again. And the music, that was my sister Jackie, she loves that awful stuff, and she loves it loud. I hate it!"
When I got older, I would sometimes drive my car to their house and hold down the horn until they came to the door and then ask them to please hang up the phone or I would lay ours off the hook for a week. Most times one of the above would work.
Only one home could use the phone at a time, but anyone who decided to pick up the phone while it was in use, couldn't do anything until the caller hung up. Except, hear every word, of every conversation by the person who was on the phone. And some got their entertainment by listening to private conservations. The name given to the unwanted listener was "eaves- dropper".
A real nosey person, and we had plenty, would sit by the phone most of the day to hear all the gossip. They discovered if they laid their hand on the phone and another home had a caller, the phone would vibrate letting the eavesdropper know. If they wanted to listen, and we had plenty who did, they would wait until the phone stopped vibrating letting them know the other party had picked up the phone.
Quickly they would put their hand over the phone receiver keeping down any noise the caller might hear letting them know they were listening to the conservation. Later on, someone figured out you could unscrew the hand receiver and remove the little microphone in the mouthpiece and no one could anything at the home of the person who had the phone up.
Once, while talking to my soon to be wife, I was telling her goodnight after a long phone conversation when someone butted in and said "Don't forget to tell Margy you love her." They had been listening to every word of our call. From then on, I really had to be careful what I said on the phone.
There were no secrets on Paw Paw after the telephone. No conservation was private. There was a group of women who called themselves "The Lonely Hearts Club" who met once a week in a small one room building on the right side of the road at the mouth of Paw Paw and their main topic each week was what they had overheard on the telephone that week. So I got the idea to make things a little more interesting for the lonely women who had nothing better to do than listen to everyone's phone calls.
I got one of my friends to give me a call one night, knowing one of the lonely hearts club women would pick up the phone to hear our conservation. After hearing the "click", that let me know an eavesdropper had picked up, I started with my bull.
"Larry, have you had a chance to check out the good looking women on Paw Paw at the Lonely Hearts Club? Man, all are single and really lonely, if you know what I mean. The next time they are having their meeting, I'll give you a call, if I can get on the line. You gotta' check 'em out. They're all really hot!"
After that, I had no trouble getting on the phone any time I wanted. Once, when two of the women were on the line gossiping, I ask if I could please use the phone. The answer came really quick. "You sure can young man." One of them said.
The other, then snickering said, "Who are you going to call, Larry?" and giggled like a schoolgirl as she hung up the phone.

Lessons in life are sometimes learned the hard way, so it goes with the story of the curtain caper. There are things you only have to do once and you know to never do it again. But some of the times you just don't know better and those times can sometimes be a little funny looking back on.
My Momma had gotten "new" green curtains for the windows to replace the old tattered ones she had for so many years.
"They're just beautiful!" she told everyone, standing back and admiring the long, flowing waves of shiny fabric. The material matched the fresh beige paint Dad had just put on the walls. Mom couldn't have been more proud.
Our house wasn't the most expensive one on Paw Paw but it was probably the cleanest. She worked so hard to keep it clean and with 7 kids that was a job. One thing I can say about my Mom, we never went hungry and we never went dirty.
We didn't get a bathroom at home until I was 12 years old. I was like most kids growing up in Clay County, we had an outhouse to do our "business" during the day, but at night we kept a pot under our bed for any late night emergency. The pot was nothing more than an 8 lb. Partridge lard bucket and every morning the bucket had to be emptied.
Most of the times, we emptied the bucket by taking it to the outhouse each morning and pouring the contents down the hole but occasionally if there wasn't any "solid" stuff, we would slip and throw it out the window. We never let Mom or Dad know this because they wouldn't stand for the bucket to be emptied out the window, because of the smell it would leave. But, we sometimes did it anyway not wanting to walk all the way to the outhouse.
One morning feeling a little lazy we thought we would take the easy way out and throw the contents through the window. Mom walked into the room just about the time we were doing what we knew better than and screamed, "What do you think you're doing?"
Being startled, I turned the opened window loose and down it came, her beautiful new curtains were soaked. Well, needless to say, Dad didn't go to easy on us when Mom told him what we had done. I could take his punishment but I was hurt more for ruining Mom's curtains.
She took the curtains down immediately and put them in the washing machine with our clothes she was washing for church the next day. When they came out of the wash she made us take them to the clothesline and hang them in the summer breeze to dry. That evening, the curtains looked new again, Mom was happy, and we had a sore behind. One lesson had been learned.
The next day was Sunday, and like every Sunday, we were up early eating our breakfast and then getting ready for church. We put on our clean clothes Mom had washed the day before and got in our car for the trip to Horse Creek Baptist.
I didn't notice too much right away, but I was itching a little and thought I must have gotten in poison ivy or maybe a chigger or two had moved in. Walking funny into church I noticed I wasn't the only one scratching and digging, all of the family had an itch.
The morning service seemed like it went on for hours, as all of my brothers and sisters were really restless with an itch no one could explain. Preacher Rush even made a joke that he thought the Lord was really working on some of the congregation this morning, smiling at us as we were really squirming around in our seat.
Dad and Mom neither could figure out what was wrong with us but he didn't think it was too funny. Most of the time we were very respectful in church but today we couldn't sit still.
After church was over we almost ran to our car stripping off clothes as we were getting in, with Dad wanting an explanation. We didn't know what was wrong but we all were itching like crazy. By the time we were pulling over the hill at the house, most of us were down to our underwear and wanting to take those off as well. We had large red patches all over our body and it wasn't poison ivy it was something else.
Dad figured that we must have had an allergic reaction to the clothes detergent and asked Mom if she had changed what she normally used? She told him it was the same as she had used for years.
He then asked if she had washed anything with the clothes that she hadn't before? She told him she had washed the green curtains with the clothes yesterday.
"It must have been the curtains." Dad told Mom.
Dad was right. The new curtains Mom had gotten were made of a new fabric called fiberglass. We had never heard of fiberglass but lesson number two was learned. Never wash anything with fiberglass in it, especially underwear.

Paranoia for Beginners
Subject description: The brain hack
This morning I was so worried by this message quickly appearing in
Quirky boot up that I photographed it . . .
Before that I was trying to find the boot up sequence to see what
was going on . . .
It is of course innocent
My Internet connection went down - (the firewall must be blocking something) - right - yes of course that is what they do - OK . . .
When Puppy 4.3.1 boots up, a strange image comes up
that seems to be from an old configuration (too fast to photograph)
This suggests to me (tin hats to maximum foil) that something is in
the memory buffers - possibly of the ATI Radeon card.
So what is happening?
My mind is finding patterns in anomalies
I have two firewalls (router) and Puppy/Quirky
I have nothing of value in terms of money, secrets of time travel
or rare pickled red herrings
I am my own worst enemy . . .
Who else has been hacked by their own brain?

I also get that message on booting 431.
Maybe you got it from me.
But I sill do not like the idea of a message showing that says someone logged on to root under ttty1.
Also, I do not know if this has anything to do with anything, but after running both check rootkit programs, my IO seems to have slowed up greatly upon initial access to drives from the desktop.
Rox is taking a lot longer to come up.
After it is up, it works fine.
But if I exit ROX and then start ROX again, the lag reappears.
I might try reverting to a saved pupsave file to see if the problem persists.
Other frugal installs of Puppy do not seem to have that lag when starting ROX and I did not run the programs to check for a rootkit on them.
After posting this, no more message and IO improved with ROX.

Thanks Guys
When I first started using Linux (Knoppix was my first serious attempt)
I had problems with the MBR on the HD that convinced me that Linux was some sort of hacking attempt to take over my computer.
Gradually I learned that my system had already been compromised
by Windows and Linux was of a different ilk.
Windows is a hypocrite that gives the impression and marketing gloss
of workability whilst attracting malware and compromising our computers.
I have discovered the source of my new found paranoia.
Lately I have been practicing my karate kempo moves
You practice moves until they become physical instinct
- which makes you think in terms of being attacked
Or maybe it could be the new 'brainyoga' that I added to my routine?
The squats and breathing is certainly healthy
. . . maybe a level of paranoia is healthy?
Nah . . .
Bugman is right - no thinking . . .

Subject description: SLOW IO after running the chkroot kit programs.
After running the programs to check for root kits, my IO on my PC went right down the tubes as to latency.
I thought it was solved as it appeared to be better later.
But it comes back at times and gets worse.
So as a remedy, I used a pupsave file I had made a backup of from before I had ran those root kit checkers.
My IO is back up to speed now!
I do not know what happened before, but considering my dual-core 2500mhz PC was accessing files slower than any other PC here and also the fact that other versions of Puppy I had installed frugally did not display this behavior, It makes me wonder.
Tin hats to maximum.
I will never run a rootkit checker on this installation again.
At least without a backup of my pupsave before hand!

Lobster, that GROWL project made you ultra paranoid
Multiuser or not puppy also has to log you in to be able to run X or anything else. If you check /etc/inittab you will see that it does autologin root on tty1. You can also disable automatic login by editing that file.

"I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no legs."
I have no idea why I clicked this thread. I am the thread next door I got wacked real good x 3. For over a week I've been working with 3 computers that have a virus and will only boot the floppy drive. I'm a noob to Linux. I am a spoiled rotten offspring of M$. The hardest thing I've done in years is double click.
Paranoia, you haven't seen paranoia. I worry when I'm working on a sick computer that it's going to explode and send out gamma rays, beta rays, bits of molten metal, glass and who knows what kind of other chemicals.
I didn't have a firewall and I looks like my AV protection was worth less than I paid for it, $0. For over a year I used my wireless router as an ethernet switch. I had know idea that I was broadcasting an unencrypted welcome mat to my network. I have no idea who has my data and what they may do with it.
I'm writing this on a dual boot computer that I'm afraid to let boot into W*****s. I worry about viruses that could be carried to another on RAM sticks and/or added to CD-Rs after they've been burned. Yes, RAM sticks. Those things inside your computer that plug into your motherboard.
I worry that this forum has a $5 fine for whining policy I don't know about. I can still laugh at myself but it's a crazy, maniacal laugh that scares me.
The only part of this thread I understand is, I see the text in the picture everytime I start my computer.
The point to this post; please add a big red warning at the start. NOOBS CLICK AWAY FROM THIS THREAD NOW You've likely never been there but take my word for it ignorance is bliss. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I feel a little better. How you doing? Please be smiling. Since I added where I live to my profile yesterday you know where to find me.

Please be smiling
At the moment I am running without a firewall
(well OK there is one in the router)
Rather unusually I am running as user Spot
in an Alpha 64 bit Fatpup
We have a diversity of Puppy developments and user strategies
Some of our Puppys like a bit of paranoia
- it makes them feel safe

This suggest to me (tin hats to maximum foil) that something is in
the memory buffers - possibly of the ATI Radeon card.
I see things like that, if I reboot without a power cycle, The video hardware on my notebook mobo (ATI Rage Mobility) has 8MB video RAM. I'll see stuff left over from previous activity on occasion.
But that's not Tin Foil Hat territory. Suggesting that something outside my machine put it there would be.

Sylvander I am a hillbilly. I do have doors and windows that lock and a loaded pistol in my underwear drawer. The difference there is I see some of what I want to keep out..
Lobster Thanks for the
s. I was afraid I had gone where I had no business. If that had been the case no offense would be taken. Ive been shown the door for good cause before and went back in a more agreeable frame of mind. Thanks for making me welcome.
In what fashion and to what degree should I be worried if I see the text in the picture?

Basic idea: file a key down, insert it nearly all the way in, apply a bit of rotational pressure, and whack it lightly. Bingo bango bam, the lock is unlocked with no damage.
I haven't tried this yet, but it's on my todo list.

Even though 'Positive thinking can be dangerous'
If you have an off switch for your computer
you are safe
The picture is there to show to what extent the mind does not have an off switch . . .
Are you safe with your tin foil hat on? Of course not because it is used as a homing beacon by [insert conspiracy practitioners of choice]

Despite the slow start, the Screaming Eagles came from behind to beat John Jay 25-27, 25-9, 25-10, 25-12.
In the first set, the Screaming Eagles did not get off to a good start when they quickly fell behind 7-0 to the Bloodhounds from John Jay. The Eagles were doomed early by unforced errors on offense. Natasia Wilson got CSE going with a service ace, bringing the score to 9-3. CSE looked to turn things around when Ireyah Stevens put a perfectly placed spike passed John Jay, cutting the lead to 14-7. Subhana Wrights once again kept up her solid play at the net, blocking 3 Bloodhounds' shots at the net, bringing CSE within 16-15. The set went back and forth, with the Eagles clawing their way back to trail 22-21. Trailing by 2, Wrights once again came up big with a huge block at the net to tie the score up at 23. Unfortunately for the Eagles, they were unable to overcome the deficit, dropping the set 27-25.
The second set started off much better for the Screaming Eagles, jumping out to an early 6-3 lead. Behind the great serving of Katie Cooper, The Eagles added 3 more to the score, now leading 9-3. The Eagles kept up the offensive attack, aggressively perusing the ball with confidence. Senior Kareemah Muhammad blistered a service ace passed John Jay, giving the Eagles a 12-4 lead. CSE took a 16-5 lead when Stevens smashed a spike passed the Bloodhounds defenders. Kiana Cunningham also recorded an ace, as the Eagles poured it on to lead by 15. CSE continued their onslaught, taking the second set 25-9.
The Eagles continued their hot streak in the third set. Behind the serving of Katie Cooper, the Eagles took a 4-0 lead. Cunningham led the Eagles at the net, upping the lead to 11-3 after a kill. CSE kept the momentum going as they took 6 of the next 8 points to blow the set wide open at 17-5. While serving, Cunningham recorded another ace, giving the Eagles a 22-8 lead. The Eagles rode the momentum, taking set 3, 25-10.
In the fourth set, the Bloodhounds recorded 3 straight errors, giving the Eagles a 3-2 lead. Katie Cooper placed the ball perfectly despite a broken play, giving the Eagles the point and an 8-3 lead. CSE did not take their foot off the pedal, adding of the next 5 points and taking an 11-5 lead. The turning point in the set was when Sunbhana Wrights put home a shot at the net, giving the Eagles a 16-10 lead. After that point, CSE ripped off the next 7 to take a 23-10 lead. The Eagles took 2 more points, closing out the match 25-12.

I wanted to take the time today to repost our recipe for powdered Homemade Laundry Detergent. This is not only easy to make but it's also much easier to keep on hand than the liquid form. I make this by the ton not just for myself but my other family members at all. I promise, it works and it is HE safe!
Be sure to check out the Fabric Softener recipe too!
Homemade Powder Laundry Detergent:
1 Bar Shaved Soap (Fels Naptha or Ivory. Ivory is much easier to find, my detergent below though is yellow because I used Fels Naptha).
1 cup of Borax
1 cup of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
Stir the ingredients together (after shaving the soap) and use 2 TBS per load of laundry. This method should work well in HE front loader washers as well since it is a low-suds formula.
I always keep some of this on hand, I primarily use detergent that I've been able to pick up for next to nothing with coupons but when I run out, I grab my homemade detergent. It's great if you have any skin sensitivities too!
How much are you really saving? Well, I'm glad you asked! I checked out the Tide prices at Walmart and compared them to my homemade detergent recipe. Check out the breakdown:
Tide per load cost .23
Homemade Detergent cost per load .07
40 loads of Tide $9.24 at Walmart
40 loads of Homemade Detergent $2.80
We are talking MAJOR savings just by making your own detergent! It takes about 5 minutes to make and can be easily stored in a Mason jar on the shelf or put it into your old detergent box.

This is a general term for a disease that alters a person's brain function and mental state. Some types of encephalopathy include:
- Glycine encephalopathy—caused by a metabolic disorder (how the cells make energy)
- Hepatic encephalopathy —caused by liver disease
- Hypoxic encephalopathy —caused by reduced oxygen to brain
- Static encephalopathy—permanent brain damage
- Uremic encephalopathy—caused by toxins remaining in the body
- Wernicke's encephalopathy—caused by a thiamine deficiency, usually due to alcoholism
- Hashimoto's encephalopathy—an autoimmune disorder (when your immune system attacks your body's cells)
- Hypertensive encephalopathy—caused by very high blood pressure
- Toxic-Metabolic encephalopathy—a general term to describe encephalopathies caused by infections, toxins, or organ failure
Treating the cause can reverse symptoms. But, some forms of may result in lasting changes in the brain. If brain injury is severe and cannot be reversed, the disease can be fatal.
The cause depends on the type of encephalopathy. Causes include:
- Infection
- Metabolic dysfunction
- Brain tumor or increased pressure on the skull
- Exposure to toxins
- Poor nutrition
- No oxygen or blood flow to the brain
Risk Factors
Risk factors vary. For example, alcohol abuse puts you at risk for Wernicke's encephalopathy.
Symptoms may include:
- Sudden or progressive changes in memory
- Inability to concentrate
- Abnormal drowsiness
- Progressive loss of consciousness
- Subtle personality changes
Neurological symptoms:
- Involuntary muscle twitches
- Tremor
- Muscle weakness
- Seizures
Signs that encephalopathy may be getting worse include:
- Severe confusion
- Disorientation
- Drowsiness
- Coma
Medical care is needed right away for these symptoms.
Your doctor will:
- Ask about your symptoms
- Take your medical history
- Do a physical exam
Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Spinal tap —removal of a small amount of spinal fluid for testing
- CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the brain
- MRI scan —a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures inside the brain
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) —a test that records the brain's activity by measuring electrical currents through the brain
The doctor will try to stop or reverse the underlying condition. Treatment options include:
Depending on the cause, your doctor may prescribe medicines. For example, if the cause is a toxin in the body, your doctor may prescribe medicines to lower the levels of the toxin.
Vitamins or supplements may also be given. In some cases, these may help prevent damage to the brain.
Dietary Changes
Your doctor may suggest changes to your diet. For example, if you have liver damage, you may need to limit how much protein you eat.
Tube feeding and life support may be needed, especially in the case of coma.
In some cases, you may need an organ transplant or dialysis. With dialysis , toxins are removed from the blood through a filtering process.
Many causes cannot be prevented. Take these steps to help reduce your chance of getting encephalopathy:
- Get early treatment for liver problems. If you have any of the above symptoms, call your doctor right away.
- If you have a disease, see your doctor regularly.
- Avoid overdosing on drugs, alcohol, or medicines.
- Avoid being exposed to poisons or toxins.

Art Deco Diamond Engagement Ring
Seated high on the finger this Art Deco solitaire reigns majestically. An old mine cut diamond of an estimated .35 carats (H-I color; VS2-SI1 clarity) rests upon a fluted "base" of 18k white gold. The white on white color theme creates a visual perception of a diamond grander than its actual carat weight. A delicate and feminine open work under gallery is replete with scroll designs and sensuous curves. Each shoulder is embellished with a series of forms including a lovely heart motif.
Date: Circa 1925.
Measurements: 3/8 of an inch (0.9 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/8 of an inch (0.9 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.0 grams (1.3 dwt).
Ring Size: US 4-1/2 (UK H-1/2; Euro 15.25; 47.5 mm; Japan 8) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent, evidence of a former resizing visible with a loupe.
Note: Diamond has not been removed from mount to preserve the integrity of the setting. Diamond weight has been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weight. Grading has been done in situ and also may vary if stone is removed.

DIY Wednesday - Lace Crowns
Luna Clip and matching shoes
A few notes before I begin the tutorial: this was not my original idea. Most of my tutorials are, but I found this idea via Bitter Betty Blog. You can view her tutorial here. I modified it a bit, which I will explain. Second, I was making these crowns with photography in mind--not so much every day play wear. The crowns do get pretty stiff, but I can't comment how they would hold up or how safe the paint is to be worn and played with regularly by a young child. So, here is what you need:
lace - 13-15" depending on desired size
fabric stiffener or modge podge
gold, bronze or silver paint or a paint pen
wax paper
paint brush
glue gun
Let's talk supplies :) For the silver crown, I used some really interesting, really wide crocheted trim. The crochet actually seemed to absorb the stiffener a little bit better and make a more sturdy crown. However crocheted lace trimming can be a little hard to come by {mine was vintage that I bought in the city} so I will show you how to use a thinner, more readily available lace. I got the one in the example at Hobby Lobby.
Next, take your strip(s) of lace and saturate them with fabric stiffener. I bought my bottle of fabric stiffener for $3.99 at Hobby Lobby. I think fabric stiffener is easier to use than modge podge because it's thinner and doesn't glob up the lace like modge podge does. However, I have used both, and both yield good results. So, on a sheet of wax paper, saturate your lace with stiffener, and spread it around with your finger. {You could use a brush, but the bristles kept getting in the glue which was driving me crazy... plus there is something therapeutic about getting a little messy :) }

Jessica....did you just place it on her head for the photo? Or how did you fasten it to her head?! I love this and need a photo op for my little one as well!
- October 22, 2011 at 9:41 PM
- Jessica said...
Sorry it took me so long to reply! I just placed it on her head. If she moved around--it would fall off. In fact, that is why she is smirking--she was dumping it off her head. {which was frustrating me, and she thought it was hilarious!} You could make them bigger to actually be worn as play wear or maybe use bobby pins to secure them temporarily for a photo (?)

I tried this and I have put three coats of modge podge, the crowns are stiff enough that the lace stands up but it is still flexible. Is it supposed to be stiffer?

I actually came across this on pinterest but it had it listed as a bracelet instead of a crown. I have never worked with fabric stiffener before so I'm not sure of how to get the bracelet to dry in the cuff shape... around a jar or something?? Ideas would be greatly appreciated.. thank you!!

Actually, you need to look for either Venise or Cluny lace. Both available, cheap, on ebay. I never, ever, ever buy lace from the fabric or craft store, because it's horrifically expensive there!

I'm making crowns for our Vacation Bible School, "Kingdom Rock". I wanted to note that the crowns that had 3 coats of Mod Podge came much shinier after painted with the metallic paint than the ones with a single coat. The stiffness is OK with one coat for my purpose, but I wish I coated them more after seeing this difference in the color. Maybe I can save someone else's project before they paint!

Grandfather jumps at chance to skydive with granddaughter
SALISBURY — When Heather Ellis told her grandfather she was going to jump out of an airplane, she didn't expect him to offer to tag along.
But that's exactly what 72-year-old Kenneth Wallace did Saturday to celebrate his granddaughter's 30th birthday. Both are Landis residents and first-time skydivers.
"I said I wanted to do it, and he said, 'Would you want me to go with you?'" Ellis said. "I thought he was joking at first, of course, but he wasn't."
Wallace said he asked if Ellis' mother or father would be joining her, and she told him they wouldn't jump.
"I think she caught me at a weak moment," Wallace said, chuckling. "I didn't want her to go by herself."
Ellis said her grandfather has always been by her side to support her, especially when she was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 3. Fortunately, doctors caught it early, and she has been cancer-free since she entered remission the next year.
While she was little - whether sick or healthy — Ellis's grandparents often babysat her. She and her grandfather would spend a lot of time together playing with dolls, said Wallace's wife, Judy.
"He sat and played with her for hours on end with her Barbies, and they'd play 'Miss America' and all that," Judy Wallace said. "They went from Barbies to skydiving."
Ellis said skydiving has always been on her "bucket list" of things she wants to do before she dies. She was excited to find out that there was a skydiving company so close to home — Piedmont Skydiving, based at the Rowan County airport.
"It was the best way to celebrate my birthday," Ellis said. "I said if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it now, while I have the opportunity and the nerve to do it."
Wallace said he and some friends had talked about going skydiving in the 1970s, but they never did.
About 40 years later, he finally made the leap.
"My grandfather was rock solid through the whole thing," Ellis said. "He jumped first. On his video — it was incredible — you could tell he really enjoyed it."
She called it a "huge moment," and she said she's glad she and her grandfather shared that experience and made memories together. Ellis' birthday was last month, and Wallace will turn 73 at the end of September, so it was a celebration for them both.
Wallace said preparation for the dive at Piedmont Skydiving included a brief instructional session.
"I asked, 'We don't have to climb out on a platform on the plane, do we?'" he said. "She said, 'Oh, no, you're right beside the door.'"
Later, Wallace got a glimpse of the airplane.
"When I saw that little bitty plane, with a board on the side of it, I thought, 'Oh, no,'" he said.
But he kept his word to his granddaughter and got on the airplane.
As they flew higher and higher toward 10,000 feet, Ellis said, the anticipation she felt was the worst part.
"I was super excited for the weeks leading up to it," she said. "Once I got on the plane, it became very real at that point."
Ellis said they could have backed out at any point before they reached the door, but she wasn't going to miss out on this chance to conquer her fear.
Once she jumped, the fear went away.
"Honestly, it was the most incredible thing I've ever experienced," she said. "It did not feel like anything I expected. I expected it to take my breath away and that I'd have that butterflies feeling in my stomach. But I felt like I was floating the entire time. It was great."
In a tandem skydive, each participant is strapped to the front of a skydiving instructor, who operates a two-person parachute and helps the diver move his or her body through the air.
"They've got the door open, put your feet out on board, and tell you how to arch your back and split your legs and all so you won't keep rolling," Wallace said. "It's, 'One, two, three, arch,' and they take you out that door."
Wallace said they took the first 5,000 feet or so in free-fall before the parachutes deployed for the second half.
"It don't hurt, but you're going from I think 120 miles an hour to about 30," he said.
A couple days after the jump, Wallace said he was feeling a bit sore from the harness — likely from that sudden slowdown.
The divers floated the rest of the way down, enjoying the view, and they started circling as they got closer to the landing point. This made Wallace a little queasy, he said, but he was assured that was normal.
"You land on your rump," he said. "To me, that's the best way, because you ain't going to break a leg or something like that."
Wallace said the experience was scary, but a lot of fun. He's even thinking about joining Ellis for another dive in the fall, now that he knows what to expect.
"I think if we do it again, I'll enjoy it a lot more," he said. "It was fun, it really was."
Judy Wallace said she would have gone skydiving with her husband and granddaughter, but health problems kept her on the ground.
"When he first said he was going to do it, I thought, 'Oh my goodness,'" she said. "But it was fantastic, it really was."
She said she was nervous at the beginning, but somehow, she started to settle down as she saw the airplane take off.
"I watched them go into the clouds and then come out of the clouds. I was standing there watching, figuring out which clothes they had on, seeing the parachutes, watching them come in and scoot to a stop," Judy Wallace said. "They had a really good time. It's something they'll never forget - and I'll never forget."

"The education of our children is one of the most important responsibilities we have as a society so that we can pass on the traditions and values of this country," Shultz wrote in a press release. "Our children and this community have been let down in recent months and we must all stand up and demand more from those who are representing us.
"I understand that we must move past personal politics and focus on ensuring that our school system is seen as an asset as new employers seek to locate their businesses here."
Shultz served on the board from 2004 to 2010.
"I am a certified teacher in the state of Georgia with a Master's Degree in Executive Leadership and I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Curriculum & Instruction from Liberty University," Shultz said. "Our school system will only be effective and trusted again when we ensure transparency and always focus on doing the right things in the right way.
"My guiding principle will always be the truth…even if that means we have to stand up in front of the community and admit we made a mistake. We have all of the pieces in place to be one of the best systems in the state if we will not get distracted by selfish ambition and personal agendas.
"With your help and support, I look forward to being the kind of leader that leads from the front, defends the truth, protects the innocent and exhibits personal integrity. If you are willing to go on this journey with me again I would love to have your support in the weeks to come."
Superintendent John Harper said a request for a special election will be made to the Bartow County Board of Elections.

Meh. I wouldn't mind. Wouldn't be thrilled but it could be worse.
There is nothing wrong with Dave Matthews being at Coachella. I think the problem is with the crowd he bwould bring. I know people that are Dave Matthews Band fans and can't stand most other DMB fans because of their douchery.

Wrapped in Pips
This quilt is a birthday gift for Alissa, who is turning 12 on March 4. Like all "Wrapped In Hope" participants, Alissa has a parent who is in prison. I'll be sending this quilt directly to Alissa ... along with a birthday card that I'll sign from her absent mom.
Alissa loves dogs, horses, art, and the color blue. I hope that means she will love this quilt. The blue solid I used for the sashing, borders, and binding is Moda Bella Solids in Blue Raspberry.
I adore all the little surprises when you look closely at these prints—this little hedgehog is my absolute favorite.
I almost like the back more than the front. I hope Alissa won't mind the dark gray solid that I used (Kona Coal), but I just couldn't resist, it looked so sharp with the leftover blue Pips prints. And I love how the white quilting shows up so well back there (although, admittedly, that means you can really see the flaws, too!).
All in all, everything about this quilt just says "12-year-old girl" to me, from the Sherbet Pips prints and the modern, blocky design to the fun wavy-line quilting. Thank you to my wonderful bloggy friend Elizabeth—her Sliced Coins quilt-along provided the perfect design.
And happy birthday, Alissa. I hope you have as much fun on your birthday as I had making this quilt for you.

A home overseer was at the unoccupied residence to check on it for his employer. When he walked inside he heard footsteps and voices coming from upstairs. After going upstairs he saw a blanket, pillow and small radio on the floor.
He left the residence and called 911. While he was waiting, he walked around to the rear of the residence.
The overseer then saw a man wearing a red shirt, blue jeans, black jacket and white and black knit hat allegedly jump from the carport roof and run into the woods.
The deputy cleared the residence and nothing appeared to be missing. According to the incident report, the deputy did see pry marks on the carport door and additional pry marks and a cracked window pane in a window above the carport.
Later that evening, a second deputy responded to the area of Rydal Grocery in reference to a suspicious person. The clothing description matched the suspect.
The suspect was identified as Alton Ernest Jenkins. He was arrested on an outstanding warrant for probation violation and taken to the Bartow County Jail without incident.
