Life in Acronyms
AFAIK, DER . It's TEOTWAWKI. HTGT. LABTYD.
Yes that is English.
It's not a mistake.
Shall I translate?
These days our frenetic lives are defined in acronyms. No messing about. It's our culture.
We just have to get used to it. Living our lives by abbreviation.
What have I just written, you may ask?
I'll start again.
As far as I know, we should drop everything and run. It's the end of the world as we know it. We are here today and gone tomorrow. Life's a bitch 'til you die.
Sad though this statement seemed, it did make me think.
If I was asked to think of an acronym, what would it be?
It would have to be an acronym of the most important topic known to man. That very topic without which we would not have been created. The most crucial aspect of you and of me. Curious?
My answer would have to be, an acronym about Life.
My little grey cells are galvanising. Perhaps the acronym about my own LIFE is short for:
However, surely preferable, is the more gentle option:
But in reality it is more likely I fear:
But LIFE, whichever acronym you choose, implies HEALTH.
It's an interesting question. What exactly does it mean – to be healthy?
So I'm designing an acronym for HEALTHY.
Keep reading and you will see.
There's a photograph of me in the family album. I am about 4 years old, on the beach, with my father. He is crouching beside me. I am not crouching, I am standing on tiptoes for all the world to see, my head thrown back, laughing. I have short, blonde, tufty hair and a mischievous grin, standing there, in my red bathing suit, one strap carelessly draped on one shoulder. I look like I am on top of the world. And my then youthful father gazes at me with pride, as the rollers break on the shore behind us.
I can't remember that day, but then I think I can – can I? I have seen the picture so many times it feels like I know that I was there.
When I think of 'healthy' I think of myself in that picture. It encapsulates youth, energy, laughter and love. Is that the definition I am seeking? – But I can't stop here. There is more, so much more to say.
Healthy is not just for the young and carefree. It spans the generations. But how to be healthy and 101? Like my friend Billie? She would say her life has been a lucky one. Born to a wealthy family that became a famous name in the glass manufacturing industry, she was privately educated, married at 21, and never had to work a day in her life. That said, she married a promising Army officer who rose to become a Brigadier. Let's not forget she has had her share of sherry and curry lunches. The couple were not blessed with children, a fact which she finds deeply saddening, but her female form has been well preserved. At 101, she looks trim in her twin set and pearls, she has a perfect perm, finely manicured hands and she still has all her own teeth. She has her health, Billie tells me. But, widowed long ago, she tells me at every visit, she wants to die. "What does God want with me a useless woman on the surface of the earth. I pray every night he will take me." I am utterly used to her repertoire.
101 – healthy – but unhappy. So really – not healthy – at all. To be truly healthy inherently requires happiness.
So I am wrong. Billie is not healthy after all.
To be healthy means to start at the Heart of the matter. A beating heart is essential, no one can argue that. I think about a young man I saw on the television, who has been on the waiting list for a donor heart for 2 years. He is only 19, and after a sudden attack of viral myocarditis, this has left his own heart pathetic, frail and inefficient. His blue lips and breathlessness were plain for the nation to see. He had no choice, that poor boy, but to accept an artificial mechanical heart, or he would die.
But rules are rules. If he accepted the artificial heart, he must come off the transplant waiting list. What could he do, he had no choice. The artificial heart is a large-ish box that sits next to him on a chair. It may keep him alive, but he has no liberty, no freedom of movement. He is going to live, for now, with a beating heart, but he is not 'healthy.' That is plain to see.
Possession of a functional working heart is the most vital ingredient for health.
In my childhood photograph the one thing that leaps out from the picture, is Energy. To be healthy, we need energy, and with energy, we then Exercise. Bend and stretch. Pull and push. Lift and lower. Breathe and pant. Our bodies are in synergy, inhaling the pure air and exhaling the exhaust. Energy and Exercise. Part of my HEALTHY acronym to be sure.
My father was a runner. He ran all his life. He ran his last half marathon aged 80, just 18 months before he died. Head down, he pummelled the ground with his feet in a relentless drill. No doubt he was pounding out his stress into the tarmac floor. Once he had set his mind to a run, nothing would defeat him from completing the distance. "When the going gets tough . . ." he would say. I could finish the sentence for him ". . . the tough get going." (Dad you were tough.) The running was a personal challenge, several times a week.
In the end, it wasn't his heart that stopped him being Healthy – it was cancer. You can't be healthy when you have cancer.
Somewhere in my definition of HEALTHY, it needs to read "disease free."
Cancer is a relentless tyrant. I watched my darling father ravaged by it. Within 3 months of the diagnosis, he was dead. He went from a fit 81 year old to a helpless skeleton before my eyes. And I wept with the helplessness of it all. It was a tumour in the pancreas, a silent monster that devoured him from the inside out. There was no curative treatment they said, palliative only.
Why – is the question we all ask? There is no answer. Years of research and we are still no closer to finding the cause of or a cure for, pancreatic cancer. I always need a hook to hang something on, do you? That way I can understand, or come to terms with the problem. Was it his diet? He wasn't overweight, in fact he was fastidious about his diet to the extent I called him the oldest anorexic in town. He ate a lot of fish and salad. But he had smoked most of his life, was partial to wine with his dinner and was a confirmed carnivore, like many of his generation. Having lived through the war on rations, meat was a regular and revered component of his daily diet.
If you Google causes for cancer you can come up with a host of surprises. There are claims cancer can be caused by cosmetics, air pollution, plastic bottles, or even being left handed! Have a healthy suspicion for what you read on the internet. It's most likely none of this is true. But we can only conclude that a healthy lifestyle reduces the risk of cancer. It's that word 'healthy' again. It crops up time and time again.
My father possessed one unique quality in abundance – integrity. He too was an Army Officer in his day, then a Research and Development Manager for a Pharmaceutical company. In his retirement he became a Counsellor of the town where he lived. Many people sought his advice and support. He had time for everyone, and if you asked him for help, he would listen hard and give his full attention to understanding the problem, then give the very best advice he could muster. He wrote beautiful letters to the town council. He will always be remembered for spear heading the campaign for example, to 'Save Our Seafront.' SOS. Another acronym. Thanks Dad.
A healthy mind. Mental health is part of the healthy acronym. I have watched my poor friend Mark decline, having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's aged 47. I had not understood until I saw it first hand, what this terrible disease can do to a previously fit Hotel Manager with a first class degree in Botany. He came home unexpectedly from work one day, saying he just felt too tired. He never went back. Within a few weeks he had started forgetting simple words in his speech, like "cloud" or "cup." He couldn't get the key into the front door lock. He stopped riding his bike. His right hand started to shake. He was treated for depression but there was no improvement. The brain scan made the diagnosis. Now 10 years on, he is having 24 hour care. His symptoms have worsened such that he can barely speak, he has a perpetual tremor such that he can only eat finger food, he needs to be reminded to drink and can't hold a cup, and is incontinent.
Sad then that Mark was a bright, physically fit, young man, and it is his unhealthy mind that has put him in a vulnerable state. Alzheimer's is a soul destroying condition for the sufferer and for those they love. The body cannot be healthy without the mind. It's as simple as that.
I wonder then about emotion and health. There are certain qualities we undoubtedly need. We can consider the concepts of how to live and to love. It's a fact that couples in loving relationships having regular sex, live better quality and longer lives, than those who are not. There is something indomitable about a close partnership. We were not designed to be alone on the planet. Loving is caring and sharing. Skin to skin contact makes us feel warm inside, like eating a syrup sponge pudding. Loving our partners gives us purpose, and a sense of self esteem. Loving relationships, I believe, are an important ingredient of health.
My own divorce took three years, cost me around £50,000 and caused severe psychological melt down. This was not conducive to health. We had been married 27 years, and he did what so many men do at his age, had an affair. Every day, as I opened my eyes in the morning they were already wet with tears. My face was just constantly wet. I was dried out to a crisp. The slightest thing would make me cry. Not having the right change for a parking meter, or running out of stamps, that kind of thing. Anything remotely sad on the TV or the radio, or music, any tune from the past that brought memories flooding back. I was a lump of cotton wool, literally not a morsel of fibre in my body.
Gradually however, I learnt to stop crying. I had to take a hold of my emotions. I grabbed hold of the pain and in great armfuls I stuffed it into a huge box, a bright pink box as I think of it, in my mind's eye. I took a thick piece of rope and I tied that box up. Round and round , I wound the rope. Then, I pushed that box into the recesses of my mind. I will not open the box, ever. Now my life is back on course. With the box stashed away, I can live again. I have learnt how to control my emotions. I am in charge of them and not the other way round.
I can laugh again, and feel the sun on my face, and swim and dance. I own myself. I am free to make choices. Healthy choices. To be healthy we need to be free of emotional pain.
And what of personal development? My father always told me you can be whatever you want to be. He told me to believe in myself and to shoot for the moon. He was very wise. I know now that to truly fulfil your aspirations, something else is imperative. You need to 'listen to the voice of your soul.' My counsellor told me that. How right she was. Career choices are impossibly difficult for young people. Career changes are monumentally hard in midlife. However, in our quest for health and happiness, making the right choices has to feature highly in the equation.
There have been a lot of articles and programmes recently about people making career changes. Banker to Bee Keeper. Solicitor to Jam Manufacturer. Teacher to self-employed Gardener. Pathologist to Odd Job Man (How appropriate!). I have met and spoken to some of these people, all sick of the 9-5 mentality, the commute, the stress and dealing with the management. What they sought it seems, is to be in charge of themselves. True self-esteem from the fruits of their own labours. People who searched their souls for a solution. To be happy, and healthy, you need to be at peace in your own skin. This comes with independence and personal achievement, not from being a minion on the office floor.
Making such decisions involves a lot of thinking. A spreadsheet may be the answer. Pro's on one side and con's on the other. Plus a big column for finance. Fact of life, we need money to live. How much is debatable, but health and happiness cannot be achieved, if you cannot put a roof over your head.
There's a very fashionable word out there you hear a lot. It's called stress. Although we hear about it, we suffer it, and we hate it, what exactly is stress?
Like the very best Stradivarius violin, our bodies are finely tuned instruments. Each peg on the neck of the violin is delicately twisted for optimum musical pitch. Twist too hard, the strings grow taut. The pitch is whining, and without prompt attention, these strings will break.
When we feel under pressure, which for most of us is let's face it is most of the time, the brain becomes distressed. It prompts the adrenal glands, which sit just above the kidneys, to produce the hormone adrenaline. Adrenaline causes the heart to beat faster, the pupils to dilate like saucers, and the skin to sweat. It is the feeling a caveman would have had when running away from a sabre toothed tiger.
At the same time, there is also release of the hormone cortisol. High levels of cortisol result in raised blood pressure, increased blood glucose levels, obesity, acne and other unpleasant symptoms such as insomnia, exhaustion, altered mental functioning, a weakened immune system, muscle fatigue, tiredness, loss of libido and digestive problems.
We cannot be healthy when suffering from stress. To be healthy is to be de-stressed.
The modern world is stressful. There is pressure everywhere. Pressure on children to conform to the latest gadgets, to social media, designer clothes, dealing with bullying, drugs and peer pressure. For women, both in pregnancy and then after childbirth, whether they choose to work or stay at home. For young people studying, choosing GCSE's, A levels, university courses, taking out student loans. For people in the work place dealing with officious managers, unassailable deadlines and targets. Stress is everywhere, from the demands of the taxman to the vagaries of public transport. Even for the elderly, anxious about life on a pension, perhaps frail and unwell and concerned now about their care 'til they die. Stress is all around us. If we are all stressed, we must all be, by definition, unhealthy.
There are an infinite number of ideas for de-stressing. Most of us can't afford to quit the day job. But we can try to create a work life balance. If only there was a magic solution. Modern society is driven by goals and efficiency. Time management, delegation, team working, and good communication are paramount. Out of the office, we need to plan. Intercalate some exercise into our day. Exercise is good for stress. It uses up that adrenaline and rejuvenates tired muscles. It floods the brain with endorphins, well being hormones. Even if we feel too tire to do it, afterwards we will reap the rewards.
Don't feel guilty next time you fancy a massage, a facial or a hot tub. It's all about how to de-stress. Meditation, mindfulness, and a positive mental attitude. Try yoga? Try to behave well about your health. Don't turn to cigarettes or alcohol or hard drugs, these will just make it worse. Eat well, rest and sleep.
Poor sleep is a major cause of mental ill-health. Make sure you sleep. When you sleep, levels of the hormone leptin increase, signalling to the body that all is well and there is no hunger, no need to eat. Lack of sleep and low levels of leptin, signals hunger to the brain, and this in turn leads to an increase in obesity. Lack of sleep equals ill health.
Billie has old age stress. Dad had cancer stress. I had divorce stress. It's all recorded here.
One acronym for LIFE, is Living In Fear Every day. Yes, I think we did.
So now what does it mean to be HEALTHY?
So I'm trying to be HEALTHY. Today is my first day. I'm planning it.
First stop, resignation. I don't hate my job but I loathe the management and the stressed , voiceless, impotent, cogwheel , which I have become.
Second stop, I'm off to the spinning class to pant out my stress on those bicycle wheels.
Third stop, I'm off to shop for my new healthy eating plan. Fish, salad, fruit and not a lot else.
Fourth stop, I'm moving in with my new boyfriend. This time I have left is for loving.
Fifth stop, I'm de-stressing. Time for a hot tub and a massage, then a cosy evening with a favourite
Sixth stop, I'm going to be me.
I think about Dad. He didn't know that there are 231 acronyms for SOS. Here's a few:
Same Old Story.
Save our Souls.
Sink or Swim.
Sounds of Silence.
There are 49 acronyms of LIFE. Here's a few:
Literacy is for Everyone (Well you're reading this blog!)
Living is for Everyone (Breathe – this is your life)
Living isn't Forever (Seize the day)
This is "Life in Acronyms." …. Let's live it. Daisy Mae 7/7/2017

Remember when I showed you the lanterns my mom hung on her porch? (here) I love those lanterns. I found them at Old Time Pottery. They had all these different sizes. I bought the larger size for my stone wall, but by the time I went back for the medium size, they were out. I only got one of the medium size.
Somewhere along in the thought process, I decided I wanted to hang a lantern by the back door. I put an electric candle with a timer in it.
I like this look just fine. But then I went and added another one. I guess I was trying to be symmetrical, like my mom's look, but it did not work. I haven't been happy with it and I'm still not feeling it.
It might be because the lanterns don't match, but they also don't match in regards to location. I'm thinking of removing the lantern on the pole and taking the lantern and replacing the lantern by the door with it. It would then match the other lanterns.
If I do go through with it, I'd need to remove the hook and fill the holes. Or maybe find something else to hang on the hook? I'm just stumped. Eventually my Jackson Vine will cover that hook and you won't see what is behind there anyway.

The maximum alert as Bali's Mount Agung erupted remained in force on Tuesday, November 28. On Saturday, Agung commenced a "sustained ash eruption" that saw plumes reaching nearly two miles high, according to The Jakarta Post. The island's airport closed on Monday morning, stranding about 59,000 passengers. While the volcano's activity was said to be unpredictable, scientists said it matched the buildup to the 1963 eruption that left 1,600 dead. The island had issued a mass evacuation order, with around 100,000 residents told to leave the area as the mountain continued to spew volcanic ash with increasing intensity. This time lapse video, shot from neighboring Batur, shows plumes of smoke rising up from the volcano in the early hours of the day. Credit: Instagram/ikpsframes via Storyful

No interview today, my interviewee had to go to a funeral in NQ, and will likely reschedule for late September. I am contemplating asking her for help with growers, as no much luck yet locating growers that may be interested in participating in the study. Granted I have not approached one yet, but will do after a couple more interviews. I tried to contact retailer plus IT provider, we'll see if I get a response.
I had I good old chat with with supervisors, who commented in lack of enunciation when talking. He is deaf of one hear and finds it hard to understand my accent, also I speak to fast with high pitch. I was taken aback by his comment, but was not offended as I do think he is right, and I need to work on my pronunciation and slow down when talking. Anyway, we were taking about the preliminary research and had a discussion on what people were saying and how that related to my thesis. I was asked to go back to my basic model, so I don't get lost with all the data. Good idea I think. I will read again on model and come up with a good definition for trust. Maybe I am working on this as a project again, forgetting this is all about academic research and theories are paramount. Still so much to learn.
On a positive note, I am on holidays from today. Got three weeks to concentrate on my studies and family. Got 10 days straight for PhD research, a luxury for a part-time student. Got 12 days of blissful holidays with the boys, visiting some of the most beautiful parts in the country, a big drive. On the way, I am sure I'll be reading, thinking, listening to the interview – I will have 7 recordings – and exploring how to integrate it all. There will be 11 days holidays, with lost of PhD work in the middle. I just wish I could stop and talk to someone in Canberra with expertise in horticulture and digital agriculture.
By the way, before leaving on leave I asked my boss about the outcome of my job interview, but could not tell me because an interview panel member was in hospital and she hadn't finished her scoring. So more waiting at least another 3 weeks until I am back from leave. What a pain! He gave me a small hint in the positive, but nothing concrete.

The Resilient Practitioner: Burnout Prevention and Self-Care Strategies for Counselors, Therapists, Teachers, and Health Professionals
Publication Date 1 Jan 2001
Publisher Prentice Hall
Author(s) Thomas M. Skovholt
OverviewThe Resilient Practitioner focuses on the work of practitioners in counseling, therapy, teaching, and the health professions. These are all "high-touch" practitioner fields where the quality of the interaction with the client/student/patient is the key to success. To do the work well requires an optimal balance between "other-care" and "self-care." How does one acquire this balance? This book explores elements of this question by describing: the joys and hazards of the work, the long road from novice to senior practitioner, the essence of burnout, ways to maintain the professional and personal self, methods experts use to maintain vitality, and, finally, a self-care action plan.

… backpacks' as individual bombs as it emerges Kim Jong Un wants to build a 3,000 tonne submarine
"North Korea is training its elite soldiers to smuggle 'nuclear backpacks' across the border with the South before detonating their individual bombs. Troops from the People's Army will be trained to enter enemy territory and, in the event of war, unleash their own nuclear bomb.
Sources within the secretive country say 'outstanding' military personnel have been selected to join the battalion.It comes as it emerged Kim Jong Un is planning to build a giant 3,000 tonne submarine made from old Russian submarine parts…"Main pagelink
A submarine made of old Russian sub parts. What could go wrong?
Lol. The ultimate suicide bombers? Well, I guess if they're told their families will be killed back home if they don't go through with it, perhaps.
Seeing as how many of the conventional weapons carried by some of Lil Kim's "elite" aren't even real in some of their parades, I seriously doubt they have anything but straw in those "nuclear" backpacks. They don't even have lunches in them.
The only thing NK can launch against America right now is a huge wave of refugees, if China is successful and turns them around at their border. And we'll hear from many of our fellow citizens in the West that it's our obligation to take them in, even the handful that shows up with heavy backpacks. :)

DanPS. Here, with the guys waving enthusiastically from the back of a vintage truck, I'm reminded of a Princess Bride movie quote:"Bye bye boys. Have fun storming the castle!Think it'll work?It would take a miracle."(Or perhaps a similar scene from Peter Sellers' The Mouse That Roared.)
I can train my dogs to fly a B2 bomber. Never mind i don't have a B2 bomber.
NK hasn't got the capability to miniaturise nukes so they can go on an ICBM. How are they going to get effective ones that fit in a "backpack"?
And, while the West is obsessing over two loud and angry little chicken hawks (Iran* and NK), much bigger matters are developing, but are barely noticed by news media or hardly given much thought by the public in the West:
Dan* TMP link
Are North Korean soldiers strong enough to lift a nuclear backpack that weighs almost as much as they do?
I mean, a minimum fissionable mass is about 25kg of uranium or plutonium, plus another unspecified amount of explosives and fusing stuff.
IIRC, the US backpack nukes were right about 80lbs!
Lion, given the malnutrition that is rampant in the DPRK, I sort of doubt it. This is likely either an attempt at…something, probably bluffing, or the bombs are real but merely conventional explosives. Sappers do not need nuclear bombs to be effective, as has been proven time and time again against fixed installations and airbases…
If 30 pound of explosive go off on your chest, it's as good as a nuke as far as you will ever know.

I have been collecting IIRP militaria for almost the past 8 years and have seen the prices of items inch up and up during that time. I have read and heard the stories about 15 or 20 years ago, and I shake my head in disappointment I never had the inclination and knowledge to jump into the hobby when I first visited Poland in 1994.
In any case, are we in a financial bubble when it comes to this hobby? I am 28 and cannot imagine many people my age or younger being passionate about history or the intricacies of collecting in this field. From my experience, most collectors tend to be older and more affluent. Is at some point this top echelon of collectors going to pass away like the original owners and a flood of items going to hit the market as the kids of these collectors decide to sell "dad's old military crap"? Will there be enough new collectors in 5 or 10 years time to absorb this supply if and when the time comes?
Really open to your thoughts on the future of this hobby and the trend in prices (which at times seem completely idiotic - I live and work in Poland and cannot imagine who buys some of these things for 5000zl or more or 2000zl for that matter).

The following story appeared on the Associated Content The People's Media Company. When I first saw the story about Courtney Oliver on another website there was no mention of whether or not she was homeschooled, I just knew for sure she had to be homeschooled. I finally found an article stating that she was indeed homeschooled.
10-Year-Old Courtney Oliver Becomes a Certified Veterinary Assistant
By Steven Bryan, published Jan 31, 2008
Though her parents still see her as a normal kid, many people consider Courtney Oliver to be a child prodigy, much like composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and actress Ally Sheedy, who wrote her first novel, "She Was Nice to Mice," at age 12.
Oliver, 10, completed an online course and now is certified as a veterinary assistant. "In the beginning, she was really itching to get started, to be learning and active, so this is the first step in the veterinary world," said Candy Oliver, Courtney's mother, via telephone from Olympia, Washington.
"You sign up online; they mail you all your books. You do your course studies; for one called 'Field Practices,' she had to go into our Vet when she was working on sterile gloving and gowning and practice those at the Vet. Once those (the course studies) were done, she had to take tests online and those were graded."
"She's Very Forward in What She Wants"
Oliver said that Courtney, who is homeschooled, tests at a post-high school level in most areas. "She had been bothering the Vet since she was about 7 about when she could come in and start volunteering there and they told her when she was 12 because in Washington State, that's the age you have to be to volunteer without a parent present," Oliver said.
The Oliver family breeds Boston Terriers and whenever the family would bring in one of their animals, Courtney would keep asking if she could come in and volunteer. Eventually, after a few years, Candy Oliver said that Courtney wore them down. "It was time for one of our girls, Ivy, to have a C-section, so they invited her to come watch that and they were looking back to gauge to see if Courtney could handle the blood," Oliver said.
"That only fueled the fire for her to work there and be active with her animals. So they said she could come, but I have to be there with her because she's not even old enough to volunteer on her own."
Don't Call Her "Doogie"
Comparisons between Courtney Oliver and Doogie Howser, Neil Patrick Harris's teenage doctor character, are inevitable, but when this was mentioned to Courtney, she didn't know who Doogie Howser was. "My husband and I giggled at that. At first, she thought it was an insult," Oliver said.
Courtney Oliver has the desire, talent and the knowledge, so it's only her age that holds her back. "She's learned how to run and operate an X-ray machine in her course studies, but she can't touch an X-ray machine until she's 18. A regular vet assistant doesn't do clamping or anything in a surgery, but on our animals, because we give permission, she's allowed to help when we have a C-section." Oliver said.
"She got to scrub in on two C-sections last weekend. She got to clamp cords and cut cords and put the babies in a towel and hand them to other people."
Waiting Until her Age catches up with her Desire.
Courtney has to wait until she's about 15 or 16 to begin her undergraduate work, but Dr. Michelle Shoemaker, her mentor at the South Bay Veterinary Hospital, said she'd keep her busy until then.
"It's really neat to see Dr. Shoemaker helping Courtney so much. Courtney wants to do everything and touch everything and help with everything. I try to gauge it and make sure we are keeping her as active as she can be. She's still too young to join the Veterinary Sciences 4-H group. It's just keeping her busy until she's old enough to move on to the next step," Candy Oliver said.
In February, Courtney will start canine massage therapy. "She's going to become a certified canine massage therapist, which will help her learn more about muscle and bone structure," Oliver said. "After that, she wants to do Vet-Tech training, which is the next level. The only snag in that is we are having trouble finding a college that will accept her at her age."

I have spent the last seven years exploring the Bourbon Trail, meandering country roads at Loretto, and dodging traffic in Louisville to get the "flavor" of bourbon. I would recommend to anyone about to start that journey today, that they read Bourbon Empire first. Kind of like knowing that "first downs are good" for the first time football watcher, this book will give the hints on how to enjoy and indeed anticipate the experience for the first time. Now that I have read the book, I am going to travel The Bourbon Trail again.

My family loves Oreos so I am always looking for ways to incorporate Oreos into our desserts. When I came across this recipe, my jaw dropped and I was instantly in love.
They are awesome. My youngest son had a lot of fun helping me put them together. They are so super simple to make and will definitely cure any sugar-type craving you might me having!
Here's the recipe:
Oreo Reese's Brownie Bars(from Inside BruCrew Life)
Brownie mix (either boxed or homemade--9x13 pan size)
2 cups Reese's Pieces
Golden Oreos
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
Mix together the brownie mix (if using a boxed mix--follow 2-egg directions). Stir in 1 cup of the Reese's pieces into the brownie mix. Spread half of the brownie mix into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Then place the Oreos on top of the batter so they are just touching each other (I did 4 rows of 6--using 24 cookies).
Cover the Oreos with the other half of the brownie mix. Then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Reese's Pieces over the top.
Bake for 22-26 minutes, until brownies are done and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. Enjoy! :)

Traditionally, doctors have treated dislocated shoulders with slings and physical rehabilitation. Unfortunately, this approach isn't very effective in preventing repeat dislocations. This is especially true if you're young. Studies show that athletes under age 25 re-injure their shoulders up to 94 percent of the time.
Surgery to stabilize the shoulder is a more aggressive approach. A new procedure uses an arthroscope-- a camera-like device that lets doctors see inside the joint. With this instrument, doctors don't have to make big incisions in the skin. This makes surgery less invasive. Doctors implant special tacks to hold the shoulder in place.
How effective is this procedure? It was recently tested on cadets at West Point. In this group of young, highly active patients, surgery resulted in stable shoulders 88 percent of the time. These patients had no complications from surgery. They were able to return to all their activities. Twelve percent of the patients had another injury within a year and a half of surgery. Still, this re-injury rate was felt to be small compared to that of patients who didn't have surgery.
Talk to your doctor about your options for surgery, given your age and history.

Set far apart from those plastic wovem braids is Paracord Braiding which is done with a nylon all around utility cord commonly known as paracord 550. It is a tough, long lasting cord developed by the military during WWII for U.S. paratroopers. If you are just beginning with your first paracord-braiding project, you should try to make something somewhat easy until your confidence builds – and it will build fast after your first braiding project .
It would be best to start your braiding using items you can wrap the paracord around at each end to keep the weave as tight as possible. There are jigs available at a variety of places or you can even make your own with nails tapped partially into a workbench or short 2×4 short enough that can fit in your lap. Here is an examplefound on Google to give you an idea.
Creating braids with more extensive weave patterns like a "cobra stitch" will take much more paracord, for a belt you would need 50 to 70 feet. For smaller items like key chains or bracelets you will need about 15 feet. You should almost always get more line than you initially think just to be safe by having enough.
So the first and best place to start with paracord braiding might be to start with a cobra stitch keychain. You will be very impressed with your first braid. The paracord cobra stitch keychains are very popular in high school and colleges with the school colors braided in. They also are quick, easy to make and make great thoughtful gifts. Things you'll need – 1 Split ring, 36" of paracord (two colors if you like), and scissors.
- Fold the length of cord into two making the two loose ends reach the same length.
- Pass the loop (or middle of the two ends) through the split ring, and pull it through far enough to meet the two ends. Hold the split ring (or attach to a nail or lay on a flat surface) so that the middle loop and two ends are hanging down. Adjust the loop to about 1 inch longer than the length of key chain you are trying to make.
- Separate each loose end of cording to either side of the center loop.
- Pick up the right side loose end cord and bring over the two center (loop) cords making a P or 4 shaped arc to the left side and then another P or 4 shape to the right side. (This right–to–left side bring should appear as a backwards looking P or a backwards looking 4, and step 6 below will have the cord drawn left–to–right and will look like a normal P or a normal 4)
- Grab the cord on the right and pass it down and into the loop on the right side, then around the back of the two loop strings and then up through the left side loop. Pull the cords to make symmetric and then snuggle and work them to pull them tight together.
- Repeat step 4 but this time starting with the left side and do the same, repeating the step but in the opposite direction making a normal P or normal 4 shape.
- Repeat the actions of step 5 now, but grabbing the cord on the left and passing it down through the loop on the right side and up through the right side loop.
- Repeat these steps 4 – 7 progressing the weave to the length you decided (or about) in step 2 (length of keychain you are trying to make).
- Trim the two loose ends when finished weaving and seal each end with a flame coming close enough to each end held separately to fuse and stop any fraying. The loop left exposed at the bottom of the weave is the end of the key chain.
- Attach your keys to the split ring and you are done.
So many things to make with different colors of this super cord, try these and amaze your friends and maybe you too…
A Keychain that make it easy to find in your pocket or purse weaved with a square flat pattern and especially with school colors.
A Necklace weaved in many ways including the double cobra weave that create personal and lasting gift ideas.
A Dog Collar that is comfortable for your dog, can be your favorite colors and is extremely strong even after many uses.
Endless varieties of paracord colors are obviously available, look around, learn and come back to these pages for new ideas. We will add interesting topics all the time.
A unique and popular Paracord Necklace can be made with an all around utility cord made usually of 7 inner strands of nylon with an impressive breaking point at 550 pounds. The non-military commercial brands are commonly known as Paracord 550. The military version has a specific trait that distinguishes it to be the original and can be found inside the cord when cut in half. Inside you'll find one of the layered strands to have a yellow and black cord. There is not much difference between the commercial variety and the original military version. But, commercial paracord comes in an unlimited assortment of colors – even glow in the dark…
Many types of braiding paracord can result in almost endless uses, a belt, a wristband, a necklace and countless others. A necklace is a great place to start when figuring out how to do it and of course further study will lead to many intricate weaving techniques, like double cobra stitch, flat weave and round weave.
A four strand round type of braid can make a nice even pattern for a paracord necklace using two pieces of paracord, and using two colors will make the pattern alternate. Paracord 550 can be used, but remove the inner core by pulling it out of the paracord sheath.
To make a necklace with two paracord colors you will need:
20 feet of 550 paracord (or 10 feet each of 2 different colors if you so choose)
Start by: (Thinking Stitching and Weaving to help visualize, go slow at first step by step)
- Having two lengths of paracord about 10 feet each. Rule of thumb is 1 foot of paracord normally works out to 1 inch of completed weave.
- Carefully pull the white inner threads pull and remove them out of the paracord outer covering sheath.
- On a flat table or surface lay the cords out, one vertical and the other horizontal but laying over the first one and intersecting in the middle and forming like a +.
- Bring the right vertical section over the horizontal piece, and then fold the horizontal cord on the left side up over the two vertical pieces. Then slide a pen or pencil through the two pieces of cord and make a small loop that we can use as the neck fastener point.
- Now bring the right cord of the vertical folding over the horizontal two, and then bring the right most horizontal cord up and over to fold over the right and under the two left vertical cords.
- Now snug and pull all four strands together and make very snug and tight. You should now see a square weave pattern at this point.
- Fold each of the top and bottom vertical cords over the square you completed above but do not cross them over each other.
- Now fold the right horizontal cord over the right-most vertical cord, and loop it back and under the left vertical cord. Do not pull these weaves tight just yet
- Fold the left most horizontal cord up and over the left vertical cord, and then bring it down and under the right vertical strand.
- Now you can snug all four cords and then make tight. You need to do this now after every successive weave is finished. Now repeat this braiding until the necklace reaches the desired length.
- To clean up and secure the loose end tie a double knot small enough to fit through the other end, this creates the fastener to fit the necklace together once fitted around your neck
- You can and should fuse the ends to prevent frying by holding each open end to a match, burner, or lighter, but be very careful as the melted nylon is extremely hot and very sticky until it cools.
If you haven't already – try to make these:
A Keychain that make it easy to find in your pocket or purse weaved with a square flat pattern and especially with school colors.
A Dog Collar that is comfortable for your dog, can be your favorite colors and is extremely strong even after many uses.
A Watchband can come in quite hande and is also comfortable on the wrist and again very very strong.
Let us how it goes and we are sure you will discover the best assortments of paracord colors and best deals for all of your stitching and weaving needs.
To begin weaving the Paracord Watchband follow the instructions below carefully, you'll get the hang of it fast.. Always useful, paracord 550 the sometimes colorful commercial variety and the military original version are a multi-task, useful cord. The paracord 550 comes from the fact that the military version was originally made in WWII and is required and certified to break at 550 pound. The commercial version is closely the same but comes in limitless paracord colors.
To start this two color cobra weave you will need:
1 Watch
1 Paracord bracelet Buckle
1 hemostat recommended
1 pair of scissors
1 Lighter
15' of paracord you can fuse together paracord colors equal length and start as below with the "middle" as the beginning loop. Singe seal the ends lightly, compress to make end round and small and pointed. And let cool to make threading the cord ends easier. By extra cord, and try this weave with the middle strands pulled out of the paracord sheath. You may find this softer more pliable cord appealing, depending on your needs.
2 Paracord Buckles to snugly attach the paracord watchband to your wrist.
Start by:
Take 7" of one end of paracord and fold back on itself to make a soft loop. Thread this "loop" through the tie slot in the female half of the buckle with curve facing up and pull out by two inches. Push the loose ends through this loop and pull tight to tighten the loop and cord at the tie in slot. This is the start and the anchor for the paracord watchband.
Keeping the two loose ends of cord flat and straight, pull through face down watch with watchband slot facing to the right and time/date adjustment dials pointing to the top. Keep the two cords straight and thread through the watchband slot on the left. Make sure cords are flat and straight across the back of the watch.
Pull the loose ends through the tie slot in the male side of the buckle and adjust watch to be in the center of the two buckles parts. You may need to measure your wrist for proper fit, but for example you may adjust the right side of the watchband slot to be 3" from the middle of the female side of the buckle and 3" from the left side watchband slot to the middle of the male side of the buckle.
Now take the loose ends of the cord ant thread them through the male side of the buckle one additional time to secure. Keep the cord straight and untangled. With these two loose ends run them back and through the watchband slots, first left and then right on the outside of the first two and thread over and through the female buckle tie slot and down. Pull the loose ends away from the buckle one to the left and one to the right. Now you should have 4 straight lengths of cord between the two buckle halves.
Rotate the watch and buckle so that the watch is face up and the female buckle is at the top and the 12:00 hour should also be at the top. Bring the right side cord over the outermost single straight length (between the buckle and the watch, but beginning this weave snug to the female buckle) and under the two center cords, and over the outermost single straight length on the left side.
Take this left side cord and then go back under the outermost left side single cord (wrapping around this outermost single cord). And then continue over the two center cords and under the right side outermost single cord.
Then repeat this weave by going over the right-side outermost cord and under the two center cords, and over the outermost single cord on the left. Then under (wrapping around) the outermost single cord coming then up and over the two center cords and going over the right side outermost single cord and then under (wrapping around) and then going over the two center cords. Repeat this simple weave until you reach the wristband slots. Start slow, once you start you will see that it is very easy.
As you make each weave snug and push to help tighten and straighten the weaves towards the buckle. You should end with the last weave closet to the watch with the loose end on the right. Flip the watch over and thread through the facedown watch wristband slot on the left and pull cord through.
Then repeat this weave by going over the right-side outermost cord and under the two center cords, and over the outermost single cord on the left. Then under (wrapping around) the outermost single cord coming then up and over the two center cords and going over the right side outermost single cord and then under (wrapping around) and then going over the two center cords. Repeat this simple weave until you reach the male end of the buckle.
After the last weave push the cord down and through to the bottom side use the hemostat if you need to. And then with the hemostat pull the cord through the outermost single cord wrapped around the tie slot on this male buckle.
Now take the hemostat and on the backside of the watchband poke it through the last 3 center weave loops and grab the loose end and pull through, so that the cord is going under these last three center weaves.
Carefully hold this very sort end with the hemostat and singe seal it quickly with the lighter. Let cool and poke under 4th last weave to conceal. Repeat for female buckle side.
View our article on Paracord Buckles to learn how to fasten together your works of art with paracord in a snap.
To make a stylish two-color Paracord Keychain we need to fuse two lengths together. Fusing paracord together can be done in many ways; here is one approach that will conceal the join as best as possible. You will need 2 ½ feet each of two Paracord Colors, a split ring, sharp knife or sharp scissors, crazy glue, and a jig with two carabineers to hold the strands taught, while your hands and fingers work freely to weave the paracord.
With the red length of paracord make a 45-degree cut on one end with a sharp knife or sharp scissors. Then hold and twist this newly cut end above a flame from a lighter as evenly as possible to uniformly melt the end tip. While melted and very hot work quickly to fashion it into a small point using your moistened fingers or with gloves. Melted nylon is very hot and very sticky so be careful to not burn your skin. Two or more colored strands will make a great looking paracord keychain.
With the black strand of paracord carefully pull out the interior white strands within the sheath about two inches, cut and dispose of these interior white strands. Lightly run your fingers up the paracord and past this end and retreating inner strands leaving a portion of "hollow" paracord. Now slip the pointed red end into the hollow and push in as far as possible. With the flame again lightly melt away the frays, gently and quickly roll in your fingertips a bit and then carefully add one to drops of crazy glue to the join. It will soak in quickly but pause to let the glue dry and you should be good to go. Again melted paracord is burning hot and sticky, be very careful to not burn your skin.
With one "top" end of a jig holding a carabineer and a split type key ring and the bottom end of the jig holding in place a carabineer you are set to begin the weave for your paracord keychain. Pull the black cord up through the bottom carabineer until you get to the middle and have the red cord underneath the black.
Now pull the two cords together and taught, up and over into the split key ring and then back down and under and through the bottom carabineer and repeat, but stopping after going through the top split key ring for the second time. Keep the paracords straight and the red cord will naturally weight to the left, don't let them tangle all up..
To put the red in the middle of the keychain, hold the taught paracords at the ring with your right thumb and middle finger. Grasp the red paracord on the left and bring it over the taught paracords leaving a little backward "red P" shape on the left side of the ring and then bringing it to the right and letting it go on the right side. Bring the black cord over the red cord on then to the right and then under the taught paracords and from under and up through the "red P" loop. Now you should have a loose red paracord strand on the right and a loose black paracord strand on the left.
Working from the ring, kind of flatten the loops while pulling the loose strand to tighten the "knot". This first "weave" is the hardest and it will get easier. Just don't tighten this first weave to tight because it will create a twist in your keychain braid.
Next, make a "red P" loop on the right and drag the red paracord over the taught cords and to the left. Bring the black paracord on the left (next to the ring) up and over the top of the red cord leftover on the leftside and then under the taught cords, bringing it to the right and then from under, up through the "red P" on the right of the ring and snug the weave together.
Now repeat by making a "red P" on the left and drag the red paracord over the taught cords and to the right. Bring the black cord on the right (next to the ring) up and over the red cord leftover on the rightside, then back and under the taught cords bringing it to the left and then from under, up through the "red P" on the left of the ring and snug the weave together.
Keep alternating the above two steps to make the weave reach the carabineer at the bottom end of the rig. Be sure to gently but firmly push the weave up a little towards the ring after each weave to keep it looking nice and even. Then just cut and burn the ends and you are done.
By using two colors fused together you have visually taught yourself one way to weave paracord. Best of luck, take your time. You will get the hang of it and quickly your fingers will want to help out, and make the whole process easier as you get used to it!
Have a go at creating these usefull accessories!
A Dog Collar that is comfortable for your dog, can be your favorite colors and is extremely strong even after many uses.
A Watchband can come in quite hande and is also comfortable on the wrist and again very very strong.
Paracord 550 will make a very strong and reliable Paracord Dog Collar. After all the 550 stands for a breaking strength at 550lbs. In WWII the military came up with paracord for our aerial troops, that commercial cord makers have adopted and created a huge following with infinite paracord colors.
To begin a paracord dog collar you will need:
2 -inch and a half solid steel rings
1- lighter
A sharp knife or sharp scissors
Needle and thread to tie off the ends
One Carabineer
24 feet of Paracord 550 or two different strands of paracord colors at 12 feet each fused together is a standard
Fold the paracord at the middle join so each strand is equal length. Hold one steel ring and bring the middle join through the steel ring about two inches. Then bring the remaining strands through the ring and also through the paracord loop and snug up to attach to the steel ring.
Take the other steel ring and slid it down the open loos end of the strands. Slide it up to the length you need the collar. You can measure this length by wrapping it around your dog's neck. Don't let go of the untied strands and the ring. This is the beginning of the paracord dog collar.
Attach this ring to a hook and straighten the strands so they are nice and flat with one color of two strands on the right and the other color of two stands on the left. Keep all four strands untwisted managing all four strands 2 with your left hand and 2 with your right hand. Don't worry you'll get used to it.
Choose a color of paracord that you want on the outside, and start your loops with the other color. Sounds whacky but here now we begin the weave. Let's say you have black on the left and red on the right and you want black on the outside of the collar. So with red strand on the right, form this "back" red strand into a kind of small "S" shape creating a "loop" on the left and a "loop" on the right of the centermost two "front" stands.
Now take the "front" black strand on the left (the two strands closest to each other and closest to the ring are called the "front" strands) and lay it over the red "loop" shape on the left and push it through by 2 inches and then bringing it under the 2 centered "front" strands. Then push it up through the red "loop" shape on the right and pull the remaining length of this black strand all the way up and through. And snug the weave straight and tight-ish to the ring.
Next, take the red strand now on the left, form this "back" red strand into a kind of small "S" shape creating a "loop" on the right and a "loop" on the left of the centermost two "front" strands. Take the "back" black strand now on the right and lay it over the red "loop" shape on the right and push it through by 2 inches and then bringing it under the 2 centered "front" strands. Then push it up through the red "loop" shape on the left and pull the remaining length of this black strand all the way up and through. Snug this weave straight and tight-ish up to the previous weave.
Now take the red strand now on the right, form this "back" red strand into a kind of small "S" shape creating a "loops on the left and a "loop" on the left of the centermost two "front "strands. Take the "back Black strand now on the left an lay it over the red "loop" shape onto the left and push it through by 2 inches and then bringing it under the 2 centered "front" strand. Then push it up through the red "loop" shape on the right and pull the remaining length of this black strand all the way up and through. Snug this weave straight and tight-ish up to the previous weave.
Alternate the above two steps to continue the weave up to the Steel ring attached to the center two "front" strands you tied in the very first step. Cut the remaining two strands and sew them into the last weave to present a clean nice finish.
Good luck and hope we helped you along your path to a great paracord dog collar using a very popular "cobra" weave.
A Watchband can come in quite hande and is also comfortable on the wrist and again very very strong.
With the popularity of paracord these days it's no wonder that Paracord Buckles quickly became a popular choice to securely fasten together, bracelets, dog collars, livestock leads, etc.
Commercial paracord these days come in a variety of colors, and so do the these snappy strong devices. More and more designs and styles and sizes come out every day. For example there are colored plastic buckles that come in 3/8" side release, 5/8 with adjuster bar, 5/8" side release, 1" side release, side release whistle, break-away, round cord locks, chrome skull, stainless steel, and on and on. Even all of the above contoured for bracelets and watchbands.
In our quest to contain our two huskie white retrievers we came across Paracord after watching an ex-marine survival guide weave together a dog collar for one of his dogs. He demonstrated to us that he was doing a "cobra stitch", and the uniqueness of it got us enthused and hooked.
He then showed us a few plastic lightweight paracord buckles that were strong light and quick. Two years and hundreds of leashes made with all kinds of stitches, paracord colors, flat weaves, square weaves for our friends and family, it's become a bit of an addiction. We try out different stitch or weave patterns all the time and it pretty much beats crossword puzzles all hollow!
We start of by attaching our favorite plastic secure heavy duty buckle and make our custom and hand-made leashes, bracelets, etc. with the knowledge that a four strand collar for example has a breaking strength at 2000lbs. That's quite amazing and hats off to the military for pulling this together for our troops years ago so our airborne troops were able to parachute in when needed.
They are sometimes called trigger-snaps and are strong enough to ensure that either of our adventurous dogs are not going to accidentally break away on an inadvertent scent. Our neighbors and friends are always asking for something for their friends and relatives. Even our family members are asking for new and inventive uses with skull buckles, metal buckles and seemingly everything in between.
Paracord belts clasped tightly together with a paracord buckle are something to mention as well. Belts are made from a lot of paracord, woven, weaved and stitched form sometimes over 40'. If you were to get into a predicament in the outdoors, this paracord belt and buckle might be a first choice survival tool. Hopefully you won't have to go here but think, tourniquet to slow the flow of bleeding, or sling for an injured arm etc. A strong belt with a strong buckle can really help out in an emergency.
In just a few seconds a belt can be unraveled in mere seconds, which is extremely important. With a quick release buckle or even a side release buckle it can be release quickly and taken apart with ease, especially with a cobra weave.
But even on the popularity side – everyone has embraced woven paracord products, college and high school kids are weaving their school colors, and designers are making a statement with beautiful fashion designs. Many of the attached with stong and various types and colors of paracord buckles

Under-18s report: Tottenham 4 Chelsea 4
news Sat 9 Dec 2017
Our Under-18s battled back from behind to earn a league point at the home of their London rivals, with captain Conor Gallagher's second-half hat-trick central to the comeback.
The Blues were trailing 3-1 at the break following an under-par first half and, despite reducing the deficit early after the restart, Spurs restored the two-goal lead before the hour mark. However, Jody Morris's side refused to give up and netted twice in the final 10 minutes to stay six points clear at the top of the southern section.
This was the final league outing of the calendar year for our youngsters and the entertainment was enough to warm any winter chill on a cold December's morning in Enfield. It was a first half largely to forget for the visitors, who struggled to settle into their usual passing game and surrendered consistent opportunities to the hosts, who started the day six places and 15 points behind us in the league standings.
Morris made three changes from our most recent match action, a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United in the Under-18 Cup a week previously. The system was altered slightly too as we started with Daishawn Redan and Charlie Brown leading the line in a 3-5-2, with Marcel Lavinier, Marc Guehi and Jon Panzo protecting Nicolas Tie in goal.
Juan Castillo and Tariq Lamptey operated in the wing-back positions, with Billy Gilmour, Gallagher and George McEachran across the midfield. The opening exchanges were fairly even as Lamptey made a crucial sliding intervention to thwart Paris Maghoma before Gallagher fired over down the other end.
Rodel Richards then forced the first save of the morning from Tie, striking straight at our French keeper following a neat move from the right wing as the hosts upped the pressure after 15 minutes played. Tie saved again moments later, springing off his line to block the ball at the feet of striker Reo Griffiths before Phoenix Patterson's effort on the follow-up was blocked by Guehi.
The warning signs were evident for Morris's men and they fell behind after 18 minutes. The referee pointed to the spot and awarded a debatable penalty, not for the first time in the game, as Lavinier made a challenge on Griffiths. The decision looked a harsh one but Griffiths was uncompromising from 12 yards, burying his finish into the bottom corner.
Morris demanded a response from his side and Gilmour volleyed wide in retaliation, while Castillo spurned a promising free-kick opportunity with an effort that flew harmlessly over the crossbar. The deficit doubled before the half-hour mark, though the visitors had only themselves to blame for this goal as Eyoma charged into the six-yard box unchallenged to meet Patterson's inswinging corner and power his header beyond Tie.
It might have been game over before the Blues had a chance to initiate a comeback as the lively Griffiths was supplied again, though his shot trickled towards goal and was eventually cleared by Guehi, despite the back-tracking defender stumbling awkwardly on the line.
Chelsea's lifeline came a minute later as a similar stumble, this time from Spurs keeper Jonathan De Bie, allowed Redan to capitalise. Our Dutch striker had been set clear by his countryman Castillo and advanced in behind towards goal before spotting the slip and slotting the ball into a partially unguarded goal.
With a foothold back in the contest, the young Blues needed to settle and reach the interval before regrouping, though those plans were ripped up as J'Neil Lloyd-Bennett's pace caused problems down the left and Guehi turned a teasing delivery into his own net.
Morris made a switch at the break, having earlier reverted to a 4-diamond-2 system, as Tariq Uwakwe replaced Panzo. Within four minutes of the restart, they had pulled it back to 3-2 after the referee awarded the second of the game's three penalties. Brown went down after a defender's push and Gallagher stepped up to convert, shuffling in his approach before clipping the ball down the middle.
However, just as they had done following their earlier goal, the Blues lost their momentum by conceding again. A neat one-two on the edge of the box fashioned the chance and Griffiths was clinical with his finish, slotted into the corner to make it 4-2.
From that point, anything from the encounter for Morris's men would be considered a bonus but in truth the visitors created enough chances to secure all three points. Their finishing from inside the area appeared like it would cost them though as both Brown and Redan missed headed chances to start the comeback earlier.
Castillo provided a source of frequent deliveries from wide, first teeing up Brown to miss his header before Redan saw his shot on the rebound saved well by De Bie. Redan was then set up, with Castillo again the creator, but his stooping header lacked the power or accuracy to threaten. Brown fired straight at the keeper after showing quick feet in the box before he got his header wrong again following Redan's perfect clipped pass.
Tino Anjorin's introduction from the bench made a difference to the visitors in attack as our pressing from the front cut the Tottenham supply lines. Pinned into their own half, chances were carved out at a relentless rate that it would surely be only a matter of time before we broke through. Lavinier headed wide and McEachran fired waywardly off-target before another foul in the box, this time on Lamptey by Jamie Reynolds, was called up for a penalty. Gallagher took on responsibility from 12 yards once again and beat the keeper to set up a grandstand finish.
Gilmour thought he had scored the equaliser with a free-kick from 20 yards out, the Scottish midfielder's curling effort appearing goal-bound before it clipped off the wall and behind. Yet the leveller soon arrived with two minutes of normal time remaining. Anjorin's strike was superbly kept out by De Bie but the keeper was helpless to prevent Gallagher following in to poke the loose ball over the line.
A point was the least we deserved as the two London youngsters served up an early Christmas treat at Hotspur Way. Next up for Morris's men is Scunthorpe United in the FA Youth Cup third round next Friday 15 December.

Good morning to all. It is freeeeeeezing here in Chicago. Brrr! I have never been a big fan of the arctic cold; snow - yes...cold that bites - NO-ho-ho indeed!
Picture of the Christmas decorations are here! Now, I have not completed the entire house, but I will share with you what is going on so far. I am in LOVE with my dining room this year in particular. Enjoy!
Bottle brush trees are one of my go-to favorites...
The vignette on our antique dresser. Ooh -- Silver & Gold...
We use the dresser for linen storage because our house has the teensy, tiniest linen closet you have ever seen. Seriously -- what was the builder thinking?
In addition to the dining room, I have gotten a wee bit of the kitchen and living room decorated. You know you want to see that too...here you go:
My LR mantle -- simple and perfect.
This is our kitchen chandelier. I just twisted in a few fresh evergreen swags, added some ornaments and a cutesy clip on bird. Adorable -- and it smells good too!
My gilded birdie friend....from Target!
So there you are -- my decorations for now. I know what you are thinking...Hello??? Please include a full pix of the DR so we can see it all together?!? I will definitely post that -- but I need to remove all the holiday storage boxes from view first. : )
Have a beautiful day -- and bundle up!

"IT'S NOT cold this morning. About 20 below."
Gayla Hodges, vice principal of Ipalook Elementary School in Barrow, Alaska, was talking Monday from her office in the northernmost school in the United States. It was late in the morning, but there hadn't been sunlight in Barrow since late autumn.
However, the sun will rise for a few minutes next week, Ms. Hodges said, and stay for longer periods as the spring approaches. Temperatures inevitably will rise above zero, she said.

My dad loved a certain blooming vine in their yard called the Cherokee Rose. He was always excited when it started blooming and was sure to let us know so we could enjoy it, too. It started blooming during his last week after he was too weak to get to the window to take a look. I told him the vine was in bloom and how beautiful it was. He smiled. Last Sunday, on the second anniversary of Dad's death, the Cherokee Rose started to bloom. Mom had taken notice of it the day before and it was not yet blooming. So last Sunday evening after we left and my aunt left, Mom looked over at it and saw a bloom. We see it as anything but coincidence. A sign from someone or somewhere offering hope and beauty. And the realization that there is joy even in sadness.
I was a little curious about the name of the vine (since I have a bit of Cherokee in me) and this is what I found...
The Legend of the Cherokee Rose
No better symbol exists of the pain and suffering of the Trail Where They Cried ("Nunna daul Tsuny") than the Cherokee Rose. The mothers of the Cherokee grieved so much that the chiefs prayed for a sign to lift the mother's spirits and give them strength to care for their children. From that day forward, a beautiful new flower, a rose, grew wherever a mother's tear fell to the ground. The rose is white, for the mother's tears. It has a gold center, for the gold taken from the Cherokee lands, and seven leaves on each stem that represent the seven Cherokee clans that made the journey. To this day, the Cherokee Rose prospers along the route of the "Trail of Tears". The Cherokee Rose is now the official flower of the State of Georgia.

It sure has grown. The past few weeks, since I found out, have just flown by. Even though I feel like hell (but starting to feel better) and each day seems to drag on, it really is going by like lighting. I can't believe I'm almost in the second trimester already. I can feel a tiny little baby bump really low in my belly, but you can't tell that I'm pregnant and I don't need to wear looser clothes. I have lost about five pounds since I found out, but I'm not worried. I always do that.

Louisville, KY (Vocus/PRWEB) February 16, 2011
As the digital era ushers in a revamping of the book publishing industry, past revolutions in this still niche industry loom all the more intriguing. The introduction of the paperback some 65 years ago led to a whole new way of enjoying leisure reading, bringing about its most treasured of genres—the beach read.
Harold Robbins. Tom Clancy. Jackie Collins. The scribes of sandy literature are as varied as the books they offer. But the ingredients remain the same: compelling plotline, zany cast of characters and an interesting conundrum. Bringing all these ingredients to an enthralling boil is mystery writer Bill Noel in his page-turner, The Edge: A Folly Beach Mystery (published by iUniverse).
Chris Landrum had survived his first hurricane on Folly Beach, South Carolina, and breathes a sigh of relief. The sigh proves to be premature. Chris's peaceful retirement on the tiny barrier island goes from bad to worse when the body of an acquaintance is discovered. Deaths from a hurricane are not unusual, but when an arrow through the heart is the cause, everything changes.
Yet, the killer made one critical mistake, and now Chris's friends could be the next victims. With the help of his left-of-quirky acquaintances, Chris, has to stop him. The Edge, a boardinghouse full of misfits, and a country music bar were all that connected the victims. Was Country Cal, a washed-up musician, the killer or the next victim? How about Harley, whose name matches his motorcycle—low, wide and loud? Or Heather, the songstress whose looks far exceed her musical talents?
Finding the killer is complicated by the police who declared that Chris and his friends are nearly as evil as the murderer. A friend's heart attack, questions about his own love life, his failing business and a police chief bent on running Chris off the island, provide no shortage of roadblocks to finding the killer—potentially fatal roadblocks.
Written with the casual confidence of a seasoned writer, The Edge pairs laugh-out-loud humor with memorable characters and wraps it all in a nail-biting murder mystery. Add a comfy reclining lounger and you have all the makings of a perfect beach outing.

Hi all
Today I want to share one of the projects we made at the Fall project classes. This door knob hanger allowed me to use one of my favorite tools, the BIG SHOT!! whoo hoo!
We used the Serif Essentials letter dies and the Leaves #2 die. Fun! We covered a piece of chipboard with the DSP and added eyelets to the top corners. The letters are attached to the chipboard using dimensionals - that allowed us to slip the leaves underneath. A bit of retired organdy ribbon to the top and voila' ... a nifty door knob hanger or wall decor.
