The Royal Wedding

I must admit, I was not into this whole 'Royal Wedding' at first.  I was getting irritated by it dominating the news every single day for the past few months.  But today, I decided to watch it because....well, I just love weddings.  And I am so happy I did.

It was beautiful...everything about it.  Kate's dress was ah-ma-zing and the way William looked at her when he first saw her was so sweet.  They really do look like they are head over heels for one another and that makes me happy to see two people genuinely in love marry one another.  But the thing I loved most about their marriage - it was all about God.  That is the most important component of marriage.  Marriage was created by God and it's so important to honor His word and His love.  It made me teary eyed.  You're probably thinking I'm nuts, but I always tear up at this stuff.  When I see weddings, it reminds me of my own wedding day and all those emotions start flooding back.  Oh how grateful I am for my husband and for marital foundation in God and his love & teachings.

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.  -Romans 12:1-2

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.  -Ephesians 5:22-33

Easter Weekend

Hey y'all!  I hope every one of you had such a great, blessed Easter weekend with your loved ones.  For my family & friends in Arkansas, praying for that rain to stop!!  I know y'all have had some crazy scary weather for the past few days.  And I think it's still hitting you guys pretty hard right now.

We had such a great weekend and were blessed with some gorgeous weather.  Saturday, Jared and I spent some of the day at the beach getting some much needed R&R.  We had a pretty low key weekend, which was nice for a change.  I baked Saturday night and used my KitchenAid mixer for the first time.  I love it!!!  I can't even explain how much of a difference it makes.  I mean, my cooking tastes the same, but I felt like I cheated and someone else prepared it.  It is amazing!  If you love to cook and bake, I would highly recommend you get one.  My dad uses his grandma's from the 1920s.  They seriously last forever!

Sunday we got up and went to church.  My mom and dad came with us as we had such a wonderful Easter service and message.  Pastor is on fire these days and his message feels like it is directed right at you.  When I leave, I always feel so refreshed.

After church, we headed over to my parents' house for Easter dinner and an egg hunt.  I am so mad though, I forgot to charge my camera and didn't get any pictures.  The only ones I have are from my phone.  I was responsible for bringing dessert (it seems that always happens).  I made carrot cake and it was a hit.  My Meemaw gave me a bunch of passed down dishes a few months back and I thought this milk glass plate was perfect.  I wanted to thread purple ribbon through it, but thought about it too late.  Ahh well, maybe next time!

Getting ready to frost the cake.  I love homemade cream cheese frosting, yummmm...

Ready to go to Mom  & Dad's

My little niece was so cute in her Easter dress.  She is my little love.  I couldn't get her to be still AND smile, it was one or the other.  Here's the best picture I could get of her.

Is she a prisspot or what?!  LOL, sweetest thing ever.

We had such a great weekend with good company, it was hard to believe it came to end so quickly, but Monday morning when I showed up to work, I was granted an extra day off (much to everyone's surprise)!  Apparently Friday night, after everyone had left, the hot water heater on our floor burst and spewed water all weekend through the building.  Floors 7, 6, and 5 are in BAD shape.  It's a total mess.  But we're at work today.  On our unexpected day off yesterday, Julie and I decided to spend the day at the beach.  It was much needed!  I love her so much.  I am so blessed to have a best friend that's my sister-in-law as well.  The beach was great, but let me tell you...we got fried.  AND we had sunscreen on.  Is was like it didn't even matter, that sun was potent.

This is us today...ha ha ha.  Not really, but you get the point.  Sunburns stink.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Good Friday

And my what a GOOD Friday it is.  I hope everyone has a blessed Easter.

Struggles & Easter Story Cookies

Do you ever just get down on yourself sometimes?  Whether it be by people saying hurtful things to you or about you?  Or maybe you just don't feel adequate enough.  I have felt that way the past few days & I'm snapping out of it.  That's just silly of me to think like that.  When this feeling was at an all time high on Saturday, I opened my email to find this daily Bible verse:

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. – Colossians 3:15

God truly knows my heart.  This was a nice reminder.

Today this one came through:

The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. – John 12:25-26
I needed to read that.  The Christian walk is not always easy, it was never designed to be.  It's all about faith and knowing there's a bigger plan.

But even with all of that, how selfish of me to even think I may have it a little rough.  This week marks Jesus' journey to Jerusalem where he was greeted, then ridiculed, beaten and nailed to the cross where he died for my sins and rose from the grave so that I may have everlasting life.  Words can't describe how incredible that is.  That is what Easter is all about - it's not about chocolate bunnies and colored eggs.  It's about our Savior who died for us.

In reading a blog one day, I came across this cookie recipe.  I got it from here.  It's a nice Easter activity to do with your children to remind them of the true meaning behind all of it.  If I'm blessed to have children, I know this will be a tradition in our home. :)

You will need:
Your family Bible
1 cup sugar
1 cup whole pecans
1 zip-lock baggie
1 wooden spoon
1 teaspoon vinegar
3 egg whites

Preheat oven to 300° F.

Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested He was beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read John 19:1-3.

Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip. The soldiers made a crown of long, sharp thorns and put it on his head, and they put a royal purple robe on him. “Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, and they hit him with their fists.
John 19:1-3
Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 tsp. vinegar into mixing bowl. Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross He was given vinegar to drink. Read John 19:28-30.
Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19:28-30
Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life. Read John 10:10-11.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
John 10:10-11
Sprinkle a little salt into each child’s hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus’ followers, and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27.

A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him.
Luke 23:27
So far the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know we belong to Him. Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him
Psalm 34:8
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God’s eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read Isaiah1:18 and John 3:1-3.
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
Isaiah 1:18
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him.” In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
John 3:1-3
Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus’ body was laid. Read Matthew 27:57-60.

As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. Matthew 27:57-60

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF. Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus’ tomb was sealed. Read Matthew 27:65-66.
“Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
Matthew 27:65-66
GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus’ followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read John 16:20-22.
I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
John 16:20-22
On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter, Jesus’ followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty. Read Matthew 28:1-9.
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.  There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.  The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”  So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
Matthew 28:1-9

Show Us Your Life - What is Your Reading List

I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner Blog for SUYL Friday.  This Friday's SUYL is about what is on your reading list.  Currently, I'm trying to read the Bible all the way through so that's consuming my reading until I am done.

Photo by Patsy Brown Photography
This is me crying like a baby on our wedding day.  Jared bought me a study Bible with my new name inscribed on it as a wedding gift.  He wrote the sweetest message inside that I flip to every now and then when I need comfort or encouragement.

I've read two really good books in the last year or two that I would highly recommend.  The first is Water for Elephants.

Jared suggested I read this about 2 years ago, so I did.  It was such a great book.  I remember after I was finished, we talked about how they should make it into a movie because the story was so perfect and fitting for a movie.  A year later, we saw the first advertisement that they were going to do just that and now we can't wait to go see it.  I think it comes out next Friday.  Such a good read!  Definitely read it before you go see the movie.

My friend, Love, suggested this next book to me.  It's a fictional book based on Dina, the daughter of Jacob, from the Bible.  It was so good!  I definitely enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Happy Friday!

Sorry I've been MIA, but it may be for a bit longer.  Life is just a little hectic right now (isn't it always).  But seriously, my free time consists of driving to and from work.  At least I have views like this while driving home.

And this weekend is jam packed with weddings!  Two on Saturday, oh boy!  But I couldn't be happier for my family & friends.  Weddings are fun. :)

In the meantime, if you have any suggestions on how to remove weeds from your yard, it would be much obliged.  Our house is a rental, but we still want a nice yard.  J is a little OCD about the yard (what, J is OCD?!  gasp!) and spends his evenings pulling weeds only to have them return in a day or two.  We need a heavy duty weed killer that's also animal friendly since the mutt likes to play outside.

Any suggestions?

Anthropologie Window Displays

In honor of Earth Day, Anthropologie (a fav store of mine) has revamped their window displays with corks.  This is possibility one of the neatest ideas I have ever seen & I just had to share!  Look at this...

 Umm I am LOVING this outfit above!  Pencil skirts are my go-to piece of clothing.  Now, if only I could talk the hub-sand into letting me purchase the top & skirt.  I already have a yellow belt just like this one... ;)  Yeah, not a chance.

Aren't those so creative?

Meal Plan, Some Inspiration & Wedding Bliss

My MIL sent me a great email today and I wanted to share it with y'all.  Take the time to read it, it really is beautiful.  And I promise, at least some portion of it will apply to your life right now.

Everyday be thankful
For what you have and who you are

Even though I clutch my blanket
& growl when the alarm rings,
Thank you, Lord, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed
against the morning light as long as possible,
Thank you, Lord, that I can see.
Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising,
Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of the day is so hectic,
Thank you, Lord, for my family.
There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table
never looks like the pictures in magazines
and the menu is at times unbalanced,
Thank you, Lord, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job
often is monotonous,
Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and
bemoan my fate from day to day
and wish my circumstances were not so modest,
Thank you, Lord, for life.

Look back and thank God.
Look forward and trust God.
Look around and serve God.
Look within and find God!

God closes doors no man can open.
God opens doors no man can close.

Whew, I thought that was pretty spot on, didn't you?!

I haven't done a meal plan in awhile and I've had some requests for the recipes I actually use on a day-to-day basis (shout out to Lauren M. for this one!!).  So, here it goes:

Monday: Stuffed Shells & salad (posting recipe below)
Tuesday: Pan cooked tilapia and steamed asparagas
Wednesday: Tacos!
Thursday: Baked lemon pepper chicken with steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots
Friday: Steaks, baked sweet potatoes and salad
Saturday: Julie and Brian's Couples Shower (yay!)
Sunday: Usually dinner with my mom and dad

Last night was the first time I ever made stuffed shells and they are so very easy.  Next time, I'm going to add in some bread crumbs and spinach.  But this is a good starter recipe. ;)

*15 oz ricotta cheese
*2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
*1 cup grated parmesan cheese
*2 large eggs
*2 tsp dried parsley
*18 large shells
*1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt if desired, and boil large shells for approximately 10 mins.  DO NOT cook them for the time allotted on the box.  They need to be 'al dente' since they are going to bake.  When shells are done boiling, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. While shells are boiling, in a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs and parsley.  Mix well.  In a baking dish, pour 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce onto the bottom of the dish, spread evenly.

3. After rinsing the shells, begin stuffing with the cheese mixture and place in baking dish.  Repeat until all shells are stuffed and then top with the remaining sauce.  I sprinkled extra parsley and garlic on top, but you don't have to do that.  Bake at 350 for 30 mins.

4. Once it is finished baking, allow it to set and cool for 5-10 mins.  Enjoy!  P.S. - it is even better the 2nd day!

Well, this is turning out to be quite the blog post.  This past weekend I was in a wedding.  We had SO MUCH FUN!  It was so nice to spend some quality time with old girlfriends and play dress up.  Erin made a BEAUTIFUL bride!  If you want to check out a preview, head on over to Luker Smith Photography's Blog and check out his amazing work! I had a few images from my phone so excuse the poor quality.

 Me and Erin, the gorgeous bride.  I love her!

Whitney, Crystal (and baby!), and myself.  Love these girls!!

We had a blast!  Danced the night away and got to hang out with some old friends - I loved it.

Sunday was much more low key.  April 3rd had been exactly one year since J had proposed so we headed out to the beach for a quiet day of R&R and some alone time.  It was much needed. :)  I love him so.  Here I was a year ago after he proposed.  My nose is all swollen and my eyes are puffy from crying my little eyes out.  Never had I experienced such tears of joy.  That was the best surprise...EVER!

And here we are last year on Easter Sunday at church, the day after we had gotten engaged.  I can't believe Easter is so late this year!

My-oh-my how time flies.  Hope you're having a good week so far!  And I hope everyone locally survived that terrible weather last night!  Eeek, not a fan of storms!

Show Us Your Life - Tell Us About Your Church

Today I am linking up with Kelly over at Kelly's Korner for Show Us Your Life - Show Us Your Church!  This one makes me happy because I love my church so very much!  Our Pastor is amazing, God does great work through him.  His sermons are neither politically correct or sugar coated.  He tells it like it is and that's what I love.  He preaches the Gospel and every Sunday I leave feeling cleansed.  Our music director is on fire and makes the church come alive with songs of praise.  We have wonderful connection groups, an active youth group, and great mission organizations that are continually doing work locally and around the world to spread God's love and word.  But most important of all, God's presence can be felt inside the walls of Olive Baptist Church - it is alive!

 We love our Pastor!

Olive is a fairly large church, but don't be intimidated by it's large number of members.  When you get involved, it feels so small.  I can walk into the sanctuary and feel at home surrounded by friends.

I am a Southern Baptist by choice.  I was raised in a Methodist church most of my life, but as I got older, I migrated towards the Baptist religion.  My Meemaw is Southern Baptist so I can give her credit for getting me involved and introducing me at a young age.  ;)

I have personally become much more involved in church within the past year.  I feel more convicted now than I ever have in my life.  I have made so many great friends through our Sunday School class and I am forever grateful for that.  We are like one big family.  During times of happiness and times of hardship, we lift each other up.  I thank God for those people in my life.  I am so encouraged through people I've met in the church and feel closer to God than ever before.  I love how it makes me feel accountable for my own relationship with Jesus and for my marriage and relationships with others.  Jared and I owe a lot to the love, support and encouragement we receive through Olive.

If you're in the Pensacola area, I would love for you to check out our church.  Come sit by me!! :)

Happy Creek Issues Shares to get the work done

What do you do when everything is in the toilet until 2014? Well, you issue shares to get the work done. They are also focusing on the star of their holdings, the Fox property. Tungsten holds its value and rightly so. It's on the critical metals list and many of our most important uses are what drives advancement.

Folks were asking what they would do to raise money. Now we know. They issued 750k worth of options. Cheap by many standards. They have trimmed management including accepting a resignation from their money man and cut non-essential work. They are trading off road side geology on other properties for drilling. We noticed that only one person resigned. That means the others are staying on despite wages not being paid in full in cash. This is real commitment. $11.5 k is not a huge amount but this is a small company and the money will go far.

Why focus on tungsten? They can build a mine for about $35 million. Tungsten goes direct to market so there's straight profit. All it will take to get the money to build is some infill drilling and a willingness to part with some equity. This is not like gold where miners are losing money at today's prices or just treading water. Tungsten allows HPY to hold a greater share in an equity deal. The other factor is the very small amount of money needed. In mining this is a dime operation.

I've bought what I can for now. Thank you to those who sold. I plan to hold this for a few years if need be. It's so cheap there's zero need to sell it. I will be accumulating more. Nothing major but I suspect the reward by 2015 will be well worth it.

June 27, 2013 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the "Company") is providing an update on its plans for 2013.

The Company is making final preparations to mobilize for a drill program on the 100% owned Fox tungsten property. Drilling is expected to commence around July 15th. To date, drilling has returned top-tier tungsten grade and thickness that are at or in a near-surface setting. Results include 19.4 metres of 0.82% W03, 11.0 metres of 0.80%W03, 20.0 metres of 0.63%W03, 24.7 metres of 0.68% W03, 14.8 metres of 4.0% W03, and 24.0 metres of 0.79%W03 (Refer to Press Release dated November 19, 2012). Drilling is planned to continue testing the extent and grade of the mineralized zone with a view to outlining an initial resource. The Fox is thought to be a unique and attractive new discovery in the global tungsten sector. Tungsten is regarded as a strategic and critical metal for industrial countries and prices have recently climbed to over $35/kg W03. A grade of 0.7% W03 contains 7.0kg W03 per tonne of rock.

To assist in expediting the drilling program, certain short term measures have been negotiated with management, employees, consultants and other service providers. Starting July 1st overhead costs of approximately $11,500 per month are being deferred to help allow the Company to advance the Fox property with drilling.

In connection with these adjustments, and subject to TSX Exchange acceptance, the Company has granted 750,000 Options of the Company to management, employees, and consultants to the Company and exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.20 for a period of two years and shall vest in accordance with the policies of the Exchange and the company's stock option plan

    The course was founded in 1960 and was taken over by Paul and John Ebbs in August, 2007. From the time of its founding, the course has experienced many ups and downs. However, since the change in ownership in 2007 many improvements have taken place.
    Three new holes were developed and have been in play since 2009. These extensive changes result in the old 7th hole, formerly a 585 yard par five, being converted into a classy 390 yard par four and a tough par three that can be played from distances of 100 yards to 190 yards. As well, the old 17th, a short par four and the old 18th, a short par three, have been consolidated into a great par five finishing hole with a significant risk reward aspect to it. Included in this redevelopment is a reconfiguration of the order of play of all eighteen holes. This will result in a better balance between the nines.

    If there's one thing I have praise for it's the greens at Copperdale. All the greens were in good shape.
    The #6 green is a far to small to have such a severe contour.
    The #14 green is also a bit small which wrecks making this hole an exceptional one.
    Green #18 is a nice size for a finishing hole giving lots of options for pin placement.
    Pin position is identified by flag colour.
    Ouch to the fairways. But not all can be blamed on the course. It appears that there are a lot of inconsiderate golfers that don't know what a cart path is. With the recent wet weather the fairways are soft and full of ruts.
    There appears to be only one set of markers in the fairways and that's at 150 yards. Plates are near to impossible to find.
    The length of the fairway grass is irregular.
    Fairways allow quite a bit of room for error.
    Tees are rough but some are being worked on.
    At hole #18 we had some difficulty finding the blocks as new tees were being built.
    Tees location for #15 is confusing as 3 sets are found but reds were for another hole.
    Copperdale is flat with a couple of swales so options are limited.
    There's a few small greens that need to be made bigger.
    An effort is being made to use the major swale through the centre of the course in hole reconstruction.
    Bunkers have no rakes and grass is visible in most.
    I think I'll wait another year before heading back to Copperdale. Hopefully by that time the fairways have improved and changes to the course are more stable.
    The current price isn't bad which reflects the current course conditions.
    Copperdale is quite easy. Hole #14 is definitely the nicest hole.
    Don't go over the green on hole #11!
    Copperdale is in farm country. Nothing special to see on or off the course at any point in a round.
    I didn't see any staff on course.
    No beverage cart was visible.
    The lady at the cash was very pleasant to deal with.
    The clubhouse looks new and has quite a nice appearance both inside and out.
    The practice putting green is beside the 10th tee. Odd.
    The cart paths are uneven, even for walking.
    Washrooms can be found after hole #5 and #13. Ideal.
    Copperdale is under new ownership since 2007. Their website indicates that changes have been made but more are planned.
    Good luck in the future!

5 Things: Chappell in good position to retain card

5 Things: Chappell in good position to retain card

5 Things: Chappell in good position to retain card

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – One round remains in the PGA Tour season. Here are 5 Things you need to know on the eve of the season’s final round, as some players seek victory and others try to hold onto their playing privileges:

1. CARD TRICK: Kevin Chappell has allowed himself to look at the money list once per day. He’s in good position to finish in the top 125 on the money list for a second consecutive season, but you never know. Things always get a little crazy on Sunday at Walt Disney World, though. A few hot final rounds by those well down the money list can change things quickly. Those trying to keep their cards are helped by the fact that Nos. 124-127 on the money list all missed the cut this week, though.

“I’ll sleep fine,” said Chappell, who’s No. 124 on the projected money list. “All I can do is go finish 18 holes the best I can, sign my scorecard and see what happens.”

Here’s how the projected money list looks with one day remaining. Each player’s position through 54 holes is in parentheses, followed by projected earnings:

123. James Driscoll (MC), $687,338

124. Kevin Chappell (T-16), $683,230

125. Vaughn Taylor (T-5), $664,595

126. D.J. Trahan (T-26), $622,523

127. Gary Christian (MC), $620,893

128. Billy Mayfair (MC), $619,961

129. Trevor Immelman (MC), $617,296

130. Gary Christian (MC), $616,457

131. Alexandre Rocha (T-77), $613,812

132. Camilo Villegas (T-5), $609,195

2. BELJAN’S BEST: Charlie Beljan maintained his lead at the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, one day after being taken from the course in an ambulance. Beljan shot 1-under 71 Saturday and will take a two-shot lead over three players into the final round.

Beljan bogeyed two of his first three holes Saturday, but made the turn in even-par 36 and birdied Nos. 10 and 11. He bogeyed the 12th before parring the final six holes.

“I was feeling better,” Beljan said. “Today I showed up and I didn’t know if I was going to play one hole or any holes. I just hung tough. I knew what the rewards were at the end of the week if I could finish, and that kept me going.”

Beljan said he got less than three hours of sleep overnight as he underwent numerous tests at a nearby hospital. He was released this morning. Beljan said the incident might have been a panic attack “that kind of spun out of control.” He was awake until 4:30 a.m., wearing his golf shoes the entire time. He felt “99.9 percent” certain that he wouldn’t play the third round.

“I was scared, I was nervous and I was kind of embarrassed about the whole show that went on yesterday,” Beljan said.

After signing his scorecard after the second round, Beljan was taken out of the scoring area on a stretcher before being loaded into an ambulance. He experienced elevated an heart rate and shortness of breath throughout the second round, and was trailed by medical professionals during the final nine holes of his 64 at Walt Disney World Resort’s Palm Course.

• • •

3. HOMETOWN HERO: Brian Gay isn’t trying to keep his card. He’s just trying to make the most of a PGA Tour event near his hometown. Gay, who started the week at 117th on the money list, is T-2 through three rounds. He shot 67 Saturday and is at 11-under 205, two shots off the lead. He reached 13 under with birdies on Nos. 10-14, but bogeyed 16 and 17.

Gay, a three-time PGA Tour winner, has made swing changes this year to try to alleviate pain in his neck and lower back. His short game has been as dependable as usual, though. He ranks sixth in strokes gained-putting.

“(It) has been a tough year trying to learn some new stuff and still try to play,” Gay said.

• • •

4. FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING: Gay is one of three players tied for second. However, he’s the only one of the trio who has won on the PGA Tour. Josh Teater and Charlie Wi are seeking their first victories.

And they can do so with the comfort of knowing their playing privileges for next season are secure. Teater is No. 104 on the money list; Wi is 45th. A victory could move Wi inside the top 30 on the money list, which would earn him his first Masters invitation.

Wi was at 13 under par until bogeying his final two holes. He missed a 6-foot par putt on No. 17 and a 5-footer for par on the final hole. He has finished second five times in his PGA Tour career.

“I feel like it would’ve bothered me a lot more than it is now,” Wi said of his lack of a PGA Tour victory. “I know that my game is good enough.”

• • •

5. IN A WEB: Camilo Villegas is signed up for Q-School’s second stage. It seems he has played well enough to avoid that tournament but still might have to attend Q-School’s final stage. Villegas shot 70 Saturday, including a bogey on his final hole, to fall into a tie for fifth and 132nd on the projected money list. He started the week at No. 150 on the money list. He is exempt to Q-School’s final stage as long as he remains in the money list’s top 150. He had kept his PGA Tour card every year since his rookie season of 2006.

“I didn’t hit it as good today,” Villegas said. “It kind of got away. I had a lot of long putts, … just two-putt, two-putt, two-putt.”

Svoboda wins Chiquita; Peterson clinches card

Svoboda wins Chiquita; Peterson clinches card

Svoboda wins Chiquita; Peterson clinches card

DAVIDSON, N.C. – Andrew Svoboda won the Chiquita Classic on Sunday, beating Will MacKenzie with a par on the first hole of a playoff in the second tournament in the four-event Tour Finals series.

Ben Martin and John Peterson tied for third, a stroke back, as Peterson secured his PGA Tour card for the 2013-14 season. Peterson had just missed out on doing that two weeks ago at the Cox Classic.

Svoboda tapped in for par on the par-5 18th, and won when MacKenzie — who eagled the hole in regulation — missed a 5-footer. Svoboda shot a 2-under 70 to match MacKenzie at 12 under. MacKenzie finished with a 67.

Svoboda earned $180,000. The former St. John’s player, the Price Cutter Charity Championship winner last month, had already wrapped up a PGA Tour card by finishing 25th on the Tour money list.

MacKenzie, 40th on the money list, made $108,000.

The bulk of the field was made up of players in the top 75 on the Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup standings. The top 25 on the money list are assured PGA Tour cards, while the other players are fighting for 25 additional cards through earnings in the four-event series.

Martin shot 68, and Peterson had a 71. Japan’s Ryo Ishikawa was fifth at 10 under after a 66.

    It is certain that estate agents have the power to add value to your existing property. Some of the benefits of hiring a good estate agent is beneficial.

    Quality tenants

    One main benefit of hiring genuine and hard working estate agent is that your property at Sobha International City is safe and well maintained. Even if giving your house to a tenant your estate agent will ensure that he has completed the screening process effectively. Home owners always want to avoid hassles of having bad tenants in your home. So the moment you hire the services of a professional estate agent, you just don’t have to worry about getting rid of them.

    In general, estate agents, will always ensure that they screen the tenants well so home owners don’t have to worry about having bad tenants. The moment your agent conducts the screening process, then you can ensure:-

    • Your rentals are collected on time
    • You can expect your tenants stay for longer time in your home
    • Your property is well maintained
    • Your tenants may not cause problems to you

    If you hire the services of professional Sobha International City Property agents then you can ensure that will go through over hundreds of tenants application before they select the right one for your home. They are also aware of colleting the facts about the tenants on time and from the right sources. The moment you request your estate agent to complete the screening process, then you can stay under cover in front of your tenants.

    Legal issues and cost factor

    In order to face lawsuit, it is certain that you just need to rent your home to one bad tenant. This is a fact that is well understood by your estate agent and so they wont let you face any such issues. It is also certain that a genuine estate agent will be aware of all tenant related lawsuits and regulations. So hiring the services of legal and registered estate agent, it is obvious that you can prevent falling prey to such lawsuits. Some such lawsuits that are needed to be taken care of by your estate agent are –tenant screening, inspections, document presentations, safety of your property, preparation and termination of lease agreements, rent collection and taking care of the security amount.

    In case your agent does not take care of any one such issue then he or she may fall prey to facing lawsuits from the tenant or the home owner.

    Apart from this your estate agent will also be responsible for performing other tasks including taking care that your property is always ready for being rented. This means that on regular basis he shall be responsible for looking into the cosmetic improvements of your property. A genuine dlf Magnolias Gurgaon will ensure you may not have to face any lawsuits on behalf of your tenants. He or she may also be responsible for fixing the rental rates with your tenants every year. This means that they will always keep on marketing for your property for free.

Here's What Good Fight Fans, Competitors & Instructors Are Saying:

Pisey Tan says:

"I would like for you to know that I had one of the greatest BJJ experiences ever at my very first "Good Fight" tournament! Everything went smooth and with out a hitch from what I can see. I've done IBJJF & NAGA; you're running things smooth like IBJJF and not horrible like NAGA. All I can say is I will be looking forward to more "Good Fight" events! Keep up the great work! Thank you for an awesome day. I will pass on my experiences to my teammates."

Khyl Farrison says:

"I just wanna say that while I did win the brown black gi division the tournament was run excellent. It's the second good fight tournament I did and I will continue doing them because the referees were great the schedule was on point and it was very professional. Look forward to seeing you in the future."

Jay Cee says:

"I like the rules a lot. It seems like The Good Fight is trying to simulate a real fight as much as possible; one on one at least. Also, the competitors are good people and generally seem to respect the sport and art."

Morgan Cavanagh says:

"I loved the tournament, when I first walked in I noticed a lack of competitors, but both of my brackets were full, the officating was great. A lot of the refs came up and congraduated me after I won my gold medal. That meant a lot to me. Overall a great tournament and I'll be sure to come back for the next tournament!"

Roni G says:

"I really like the submission only format where no points are awarded, ensuring either competitor in each match has an even chance to earn the win.

Bill did a great job moving brackets around making sure everyone had guaranteed matches. This was the first tournament I've participated in in which I competed in more than one match even though I've signed up for multiple divisions in the past.

The competitors are also better sports in the Good Fight tournaments I've found. Submission only leaves very little room if any for question or discussion regarding the deserving winner. I have yet to meet a sore loser, or a sore winner at a Good Fight tournament. This was my second experience with Good Fight (Long Island and Rochester) and I definitely plan future trips (Brooklyn, this year) to Good Fight tournaments.

Bill emplored everyone to learn something, make friends and have fun. I can say I've done all three at each Good Fight.

Thank you for hosting a submission only format. It's how jiu-jitsu should be, run by a group of competent individuals who understand that."

Bob Miller says:

"The Rochester Rumble was very well run. Bill was great and did everything he could to get all of our competitors as much mat time as possible. With a three and a half hour drive ask of us really appreciated not showing up to be told there was nobody in our bracket and nothing that could be done about it.

I prefer the submission only format, there's no argument to be had about who won. There are no points to be argued about, no advantages, no stalling. Submission only tournaments are the purist form of sport jiu-jitsu that we could possibly have. I really appreciate that as an organization you have moved away from the IBJJF rule set. Allowing more attacks at the colored belt levels, and lower body attacks will force competitors to reevaluate the way they look at their training and realize that there is a whole other half of their body they need to be aware of when rolling.

As far as holding another good fight tournament in Rochester, personally I'd like to see you move toward Albany. We drove almost 4 hours to Rochester and just under 4 hours for the NY Summer classic earlier this year. It's a deterrent for some of my teammates especially our kids program(and their parents)to drive so far too compete. I think we could double or number of participant competitors if you had an event closer to Albany. The only competition we have here is NAGA, which I feel is poorly run/officiated with no consideration of the people there. You show up and if there's nobody in your bracket they barely do anything to get you even one match. I hope you will consider this as an optionabs would love to see submission only make its way to New York's capital.

Thank you for a well run tournament that puts good jiu-jitsu above stalling to win by a take down or stalling out with one advantage to win a grappling match."

Adam Lowrey says:

"Loved the style. No points, submission only, and longer fights. It's how Jiu Jitsu competitions should be.

You guys were organized and kept things moving. You also created an atmosphere that that is good for bringing the family. Good job guys!"

Mary Ellen says:

"Great article: 'Why Choose The Good Fight'. I agree on all points made, especially as they related to safety, mat time, less waiting, realistic fighting, and the Good Fight's trademarked well-run tournament. Keep up the good work and I choose Good Fight over Naga given all of the above. My son Sam will be competing in another one soon."

Scott White says:

"I've both competed in and brought my students since the Good Fight started doing events in my state. They are by far the best run tournaments we go to all year and the staff some of the easiest to deal with I've encountered. My school makes it a point to support them whenever possible and to constantly encourage other people to get involved with their events." -Lincolnton, NC sagacombat@yahoo.com

Jason Logan says:

"Hey Jimmy, My name is Jason. I competed in the Good Fight Tournament this past Saturday in Pitman, NJ for the NJ Open. I represented Team Senshi Tori in the heavyweight division. Just wanted to say I love what you guys are doing with your organization and I had a great time, as did our entire team. Hopefully I’ll see you in Brooklyn for the Winter Open. Best Regards!"

Sunni Imhotop says:

"The event was great...it was very well organized and ran properly. I have no complaints really. Great event and I would definitely come back to another Good Fight Sub Only tournament again." sunni.imhotep@gmail.com

Darion Mortley  says:

"The tournament is well organized! fights star and end right on time! Also since the goodfight switched to submission only I feel comfortable for my opponent to throw me, pass my guard and be more aggressive with me because I don't have to worry about him scoring points in me." darionmortley@gmail.com

Kyle Bennett says:

"I competed in The Maryland open this past weekend And had a blast! Thanks for putting together great tournaments!." kyle@bwbear.com

Matthew Rich says:

"The Good Fight Tournaments are some of the finest & well run sporting competitions I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of!!." MJR905@gmail.com

Guy Zoda says:

"Hi Jimmy...I wanted to say thank you for Saturday. It was my son, Guy Zoda's first experience in a tournament. My son and a young boy named Kevin had a 56 minute match that we decided to call a draw with two first place champions! My son is a very shy boy that has the learning disability dyslexia. That 56 minute match has given him confidence that I've never seen in my son before. His teacher Joseph Capizzi and class mates at NYCBJJ were all amazed of the length of the match, which again helped his confidence tremendously. Again I would like to thank you the referees and your assistance for helping to make that day a memorable and very special day for my son."

Best Hotel Experience of My Life

by Trish Utter

WaldorfThe doorman greeted me with “Good Afternoon Ms. Utter are you checking into the Waldorf Towers?” The small but elegant lobby on 50th Street is reserved for Waldorf Towers guests only. The Towers takes up the top part of the famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel located in mid-town Manhattan.

The intimate lobby was full of staff awaiting your every whim. I am so used to long check–in lines but here you feel that you are, the only guest…in fact we were the only guests in the small lobby. I was given a little gold box of chocolates by the receptionist. My kids, Colt and Brooke and I were escorted up to our suite. From the beautiful fine wood elevator to the glittering chandelier lit hall way fit for a princess we knew this was not like any other hotel experience. Black and white photos of many movie stars, world leaders and royalty that have stayed at the Towers adorn the hallway walls.

The door swung open and there was what looked like a Parisian suite with a view of Manhattan that took our breath away. Two large bottles of water and four chocolate cupcakes were there to nibble on along with a thank you card from the staff.

An exquisite over stuffed couch, large desk with lots of outlets, paper, pens and anything else you might need. A wet bar, with fridge, which was more like a butler’s pantry area, mirrored French doors that led to a king bed room and a huge marble bath room fit for a princess. Every detail was taken into consideration. In the hall closet were two Waldorf umbrellas. In the bedroom were slippers and cotton dressing gowns of the highest quality and lots of hangers. Many hotels are slick and modern but this was just like staying at Windsor castle or maybe even the White House! The furnishings were so amazing that each piece must be worth thousands.

It is worth noting that every room in our suite had its own thermostat. This is great as you know how family can be. One likes it hot and another likes it cold.

When you stay at the Towers you have accesses to their Concierge floor. That means you get to visit the special lounge area in the morning for breakfast. They serve fruit, eggs, freshly made in house pastries, juice, coffee and anything else they can bring you. In the afternoon between noon and four they serve sandwiches, cakes and afternoon tea or coffee. This is all included in your room charge. The staff in here got to know us fast and upon our arrival they had everything we needed ready. That is what makes the level of service at the Towers so amazing. The staff know you by name and know what you want. One evening we asked a waiter where an outside restaurant was. Instead of giving us directions he took the time to walk us across the street to where we were going! The chamber maids were as quiet as mice. You never see a cart in a hallway. Not sure how they work this magic but they do. No one ever knocked on our door about making up our suite. Somehow they knew when we left…even if we were out for ten minutes we would return to a beautiful clean suite. Service, service, service!

Waldorf2This was not only the most luxurious stay I have ever had anywhere but surprisingly it was the quietest. What, in New York you say! Yes, I slept like a baby. Didn’t hear a thing during the whole stay. The bed….oh the bed! If I could have brought it home I would have. It felt as if I was sleeping on a cloud. Usually my back is killing me from hotel stays. This bed and the pillows were wonderful. I know I am gushing with compliments but it is all true.

In the main hotel lobby is the Peacock Alley Bar & Lounge. Music from the grand piano wafts the air. We sat there many times after walking miles sightseeing enjoying a drink and listening to the music. We also had the pleasure of dining in the Bull and Bear Steak House. The intimate, round booth gave you privacy and comfort. I had a famous Waldorf salad which was superb followed by a mouthwatering steak. Once again the service is unbeatable. Not only are the staff attentive they were all very happy.

As you all know I do a huge amount of travel writing but this by far was THE best hotel experience I have ever had.

Waldorf3Apart from all the fantastic hotel food you can also find very affordable meals right outside the property. Several times we ate from food trucks that are on every corner. These food trucks are very clean and you will see all the office workers dashing to get their lunch here. We found Indian, Chinese, breakfast food within a block of the hotel and great meals for under $8!

New York is huge so it is important to choose a good location. We were one block from St Patrick’s Cathedral on 5th Avenue and a block or two from Grand Central Station which is also full of restaurants and food vendors.

I honestly have never been so sad to leave a hotel. It was almost cruel to end my stay.

We met up with our Gainesville friend Paulette Raulerson and were trying to find ideas for things to do when we met NYPD officer Andrew who gave use great tips of what to see and where to eat. I can’t say enough about the people in New York as they were so helpful.

Waldorf4Everywhere you go there is something to see. The world famous store windows, street entertainers in Washington Square, a walk in Central Park. I encourage you to ask local people what you should see and do. The Diamond District is a unique area and also within walking distance from the hotel. Here you will find great deals on jewelry and get fantastic knowledgeable service. You can also sell your jewelry here.

We used Uber but we also found that taxi cabs were not much different in price and we never spent more than $20 per ride for all of us. The Subway was easy to use and cost us $3 each.

Big Bus Tours

The first thing I like to do in any new location is to take a tour with this company. We got on at Times Square and toured lower and upper Manhattan. You jump on or off at any of the many stops along the way. The guide tells you about local exhibits, history and even about who lives there. We rode around Central Park, through Times Square and then to Soho, the Village and around the 911 Memorial. This is an invaluable part of any vacation. BigBusTours.com

Metropolitan Museum of Art

You can spend months in here as there is so much to see. Something for everyone. Paintings, furniture, fashion, Egyptian artifacts and more. Brooke and I loved the fashion exhibit and Colt enjoyed the rooms that are set up like palaces with antique furniture. MetMuseum.org

Waldorf5Top of the Rock

The Rockefeller Center is within walking distance from the Waldorf. We would have missed this fantastic place if it hadn’t been for a chance conversation with a local New York police officer named Andrew who told us about it. He said we would really miss something great if we didn’t go up there so we did and Andrew was right. We took the elevator to the 67th floor. There were terraces all around with huge glass walls so you have un-obstructive views of every part of the city. We walked up to the 69th terrace and then to the 70th floor terrace where there is a complete 360 view of the city. TopOfTheRockNYC.com

On Your Feet

This Broadway show all about the life of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The Latin music was so good that we were, on our feet dancing! Funny that here we were in New York seeing a story about a girl that grew up in Miami. Fantastic true story of a young Cuban girl’s chance meeting with Emilio and working together to create the Miami Sound Machine. All the objections the couple overcame and their wonderful love story. You just can’t sit still to this one. OnYourFeetMusical.com

You have limited time on vacation so if you don’t want to miss the most important attractions and you want to save 40% then this is a must. Attractions include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Top of the Rock, Empire State Building and more. Some restaurant coupons as well as shopping. www.CityPass.com/NewYork

The Gospel

The Transforming Message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

The word "gospel" means good news. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Here is what the Bible itself says concerning the gospel of Jesus Christ.

All have sinned against God.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
(Romans 3:23a).

Sin separates the sinner from God.

Your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
(Isaiah 59:2).

Sin’s penalty is eternal death in hell.

For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:15).

Christ paid sin’s penalty.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

The gift of God is eternal life.

The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
(Romans 6:23b).

You are invited to receive Christ as your Savior.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved
(Romans 10:9).

You can receive Christ as your Savior right now.

Simply pray the following prayer in your own words and from a sincere heart of faith:
Heavenly Father, I admit that I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I understand that the penalty of sin is eternal death in hell. But I believe that Jesus, Your only begotten Son, died on the cross to pay sin's penalty and that He arose from the dead and lives today. I repent of my sin and I invite Jesus to become my Savior and Lord. Thank you Lord for saving me. In Jesus' name, amen.
If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart, you are now a Christian. You have been born again to walk in newness of life. For information on how you can grow as a Christian, please come visit Grace Baptist Church or click here to contact us by email.

A 5-km-high skyscraper that eats smog coming up next.

2017 only just arrived, but one manufacturing company is already looking 45 years into the future.

Arconic, a materials science company, has envisioned a 3-mile-high (4.8-km) skyscraper built from materials that are either in-development or have already been brought to market, including smog-eating surfaces and retractable balconies.

The tower was concocted as part of the company’s larger campaign known as The Jetsons, an homage to the 1962 cartoon set in 2062. Arconic’s engineers worked alongside futurists to imagine the technologies that will be most useful several decades from now.

Sherri McCleary, one of Arconic’s chief materials scientists, says one of the most exciting and immediate projects is EcoClean, a special coating that helps buildings self-clean and purify the surrounding air.

It was first released in 2011 and offers a number of benefits over traditional pane glass windows, McCleary says.

“The functional coating provides aesthetics, it provides maintenance benefits, and it also provides a benefit to the surrounding environment by reducing the content of pollutants around it,” she tells Business Insider.

EcoClean works with help from light and water vapour, which mix with the chemicals in the coating to produce atoms known as free radicals.

These free radicals pull in pollutants from the air and break them down to get sloughed off the side of the building along with dirt and grime – almost like dead skin.

The end result is a cleaner building surrounded by cleaner air.

Another innovation is in the windows themselves. The new design is called Bloomframe. Essentially, it’s a motorised window that converts into an all-glass balcony in under a minute.

Arconic has been showcasing the technology at trade shows around the world and will hit the market in the “near future”, a company spokesperson says.

Rather than spend twice the money on materials to build separate windows and ledges, Arconic wants to invest in flexible components that can make buildings more than just static giants.

Skyscrapers built from 3D-printed materials could stretch more than 3 miles in the sky, Arconic says.

Some of Arconic’s other futuristic designs include flying cars, ultra-lightweight car bodies, and aerodynamic aeroplane wings.

In the meantime, it continues working to push the limits of what modern-day skyscrapers can look like and do. Thanks to 3D printing, McCleary says many structures that aren’t currently feasible could withstand high winds and unique climates.

“We’re looking at optimising the materials that can be 3D-printed to give more and more options to designers and architects,” she says.

Still here!

We are still here, sorry for the lack of posts lately!

While we were supposed to move into our new place on Friday, the previous owners kept pushing off the closing time to later & later throughout the day so we were left in limbo. As the time hit nine p.m. we gave up hope that we’d be doing a final walk through that day and started the moving process bright and early Saturday morning.

The biggest problem, we now only had one day (Sunday) for the two of us to unpack what had been moved on Saturday. So I’ve been trying to unpack, paint & organize while simultaneously keeping Gavin happy so Casey doesn’t have to take any time off of work.

In other words, I’ve had my hands full!

Most of the moving day went smoothly, but a couch that we had planned to have in the basement couldn’t make the sharp right turn at the bottom of the stairs (this is all I could think of) so we ended up buying a new sectional. Our flat screen tv also took a hit, but is still usable, so once we recover from the costs of moving we’ll be getting that fixed/replacing it.

But for now, I’ve been busy painting so that we can move the rest of our belongings out of the garage. The previous owners had a…well…interesting sense of design and I cannot wait to get all of their tastes out of the house and to bring ours in.

I can’t wait to share before & afters with all of you, but don’t expect those until at least the weekend!

I will say, we cannot believe that we lasted so long not having a fenced in backyard. It is so nice being able to just open the back door to let the dog out, and for Gavin to have a place to safely run around.

We also are on a cul-de-sac so no through traffic, no fast cars, no huge issue with safety for all the neighborhood kids to run around and play. In a small world story, we know our next door neighbors who have an eight year old boy that Gavin thinks is the bees knees :)

We’ve also learned that on Saturday nights, all of the neighbors on our street gather together and enjoy a few drinks alongside a fire pit while the kids play together (or get put to bed!) Can’t wait to just relax and get to know everyone…and for Gavin to meet & idolize all the other “big” kids!

Loan Update

We can confirm that Reece Thompson and Scott Smith have had their respective loan deals extended until the end of the season.

Thompson will remain with National League North side Boston United where the striker has scored three goals in nine appearances as well as picking up two man of the match awards.

Scott Smith will spend the rest of the season at Goole who ply their trade in the Evo-Stik North Division. The academy graduate has made 18 appearances scoring three goals and two man of the match awards.

Meanwhile Will Wells has returned from his loan with Ossett Albion and will be available for selection in Paul Cox’s first team squad. The defender made his full debut last season at Boreham Wood but picked up an injury in pre-season.

The loan of Raul Correia from Blackpool has come to an end and he has returned to his parent club. The striker made 11 appearances and scored one goal in a Lions shirt.

We’d like to thank Raul for all his efforts whilst at Guiseley and wish Reece and Scott good luck for the remainder of their loan deals.

How to always finish what you start

Are you first off the starting block but never finish the race? Christine Fieldhouse asks experts for advice on how to keep motivated and achieve your goals

Woman on jogging track

When you've finished something, acknowledge itby having a few hours off work.

We're all really good at starting projects. Who hasn't known the thrill of embarking on something new - whether it's starting a fitness regime, writing a book or drawing up a business plan? The projects are so stimulating in the early stages that we're carried along by our enthusiasm and we glow with energy and zest.

Then one day all we see ahead is hard work. Throw in some self-doubt and another grand idea is left by the wayside, half-complete, with our sense of self-worth in tatters.

Experts say it isn't starting that's the problem - it's keeping going and seeing things through to the finish, especially if the project is time-consuming and demanding. Then the incomplete projects hang over us, reminding us of our failures and drumming home the fact that we don't finish the things we start.

It's a vicious circle that goes on and on... unless we take drastic action and break the pattern. According to performance coach and counsellor Julia Armstrong, a former marathon runner who represented England in the 1986 Commonwealth Games, finishing things requires hard work, discipline and persistence and when we achieve what we set out to, it gives us a confidence and buzz that drives us to do more.

Yet the flip side is just as powerful - when we don't finish projects we lose our confidence and our self-belief.

"If you let yourself down, then it can confirm your feelings that you're not very good," says Julia, author of Running to Learn. "It can make you feel that life is quite disappointing and not as colourful. It can erode your confidence."

Author and life coach Talane Miedaner acknowledges the difficulty in getting things finished, both in our work and home lives.

"We all have a feeling that we're never finished," she says. "We may empty our inbox, but the next time we look at our computer, there will be 50 or so new messages in there. We're being bombarded with phone calls, text messages, e-mails and other information. We're on a treadmill and gone are the days when we could leave the office behind at work. It's with us all the time, on our mobile phones and our computers."

Talane, author of Coach Yourself to Success, lists accomplishment as an important emotional need to fulfil. "We get personal satisfaction from doing something well and finishing it," she explains. "If you make sure something is 100 per cent complete at home and at work, it won't come back and bite you later.

"If, for example, you're working in customer service and a client isn't happy with what they've got, it isn't enough to take it off their bill. You can be sure another client will complain about the same thing. What you need to do is find out what was wrong with the service and put it right. It gives you a tremendous boost knowing that you have done something well."

But surely we can't finish every single thing we start? How do we choose what to finish?

Talane recommends we analyse where our results come from and ask a vital question: What is important today?

"We need to figure out what's worth polishing and then spend time on that," she says. "If we make sure that is done to100 per cent of our ability, we will feel fantastic. Don't spend a long time working through150 emails. Just spend time on the one that's going to make a difference to your life and yield you some results. Look at what will make you feel good about your day. You may want to finish work early to spend time with your children, or write your book or build your deck.

"Make a list of all your incomplete projects, from the dress you're making for your daughter and the shelf that's still waiting to be put up, to the trip to Disney you're planning for the kids, and go through them to see which fill you with great energy and enthusiasm. Get rid of any that don't excite you. If you're not inspired by them when they're on your list, you'll never finish them."

Taking on too much can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, and Talane recommends having no more than three big projects on the go at once.

"Too much to do can cause feelings of stress, anxiety and depression," says Talane. "You're better off cancelling some of the things, or finding another solution.

"If, for example, you've offered to take food round to an elderly person's house three times a week, and you find that's too much, find someone else to share the job, or admit you're only going to manage it one day a week. Then learn to say no to requests in the future. Otherwise, you're just going to clear the decks and find they fill up again straight away."

Case study: 'I tried finishing school'

Our writer, Christine Fieldhouse, a self-confessed start-a-holic, decides to tackle some of her unfinished projects and finds it easier than expected

I think I'm a start-a-holic! I love starting new projects and while I finish some of them, there are others, such as new books I'm writing, that sit in my computer for years, untouched and incomplete. Every time I see them in My Documents, my heart feels that little bit heavier, and I remind myself I have so much to do, and I'm not doing it.

For my ‘finishing school' project, I went through every area of my life - my marriage, my home, my family, my work, my friends and my leisure - to see what unfinished business there was. And there was a lot! After brainstorming them onto paper, I set about planning which to do or ditch.

Some were obvious. I'd suggested a night out with some parents from my son's school. Seeing their names on my ‘finishing list' made me aware I was just being polite and sociable suggesting we went out. So I crossed them off my list and immediately felt a little lighter.

Then, I planned to do at least one finishing job every day, yet when I started, I found I could batch jobs together. On a visit to family, I returned a book en route, and delivered some of my son Jack's old clothes to a friend (and cleared out a drawer at the same time!). With great satisfaction I was able to tick off at least four jobs that day.

I was shocked at what little time some jobs took me. I'd delayed clearing out an old toy box in the hallway for six months, yet when I got round to it, it took me four minutes. Yes, four! I'd wanted to see Mary Poppins at the theatre for months, yet getting the tickets and fixing the hotel and the train from Yorkshire to London took me ten minutes.

Workwise, I had a long list of unfinished features, so I got out my diary and planned when I could work through them one by one, and I didn't take on any new work until I'd finished.

I'd also delayed putting photographs in an album, yet once they were chronicled, I loved reliving past times.

Some jobs were painful. Sorting out letters to and from my late mum was sad.

The hardest jobs were the long-term projects, but I knew from having finished writing one book that it's easier to think of them as chapters than to see it as one massive job that might take forever.

Six steps to motivate yourself to complete your projects

Focus expert Phil Olley has some simple techniques to help you stay on track

1. Decide what finishing means

Work out how you will know when your task is finished. What will the finished product look like? If you're decorating a room, will you know it's all finished when the curtains are up and the carpet is down? If you're planning a party, what stage do you need to be at before everything is sorted?

2. Make a list

Write down all those things you're putting up with - buttons missing on a jacket, the light bulb that needs replacing in the garage, the website that needs updating, the survey you need to fill in. Then work your way through them each day, ticking them off.

3. Break big jobs down into chunks

If you have a massive project, such as writing a book, or launching a business, break it down into manageable steps, and finish one of those every day. If you are redecorating, you could buy paint on one day, prepare the room on another, paint a wall on day three and so on. If you are launching a business, have a list of smaller things you can do every day, such as visiting your bank manager, getting flyers printed, seeing a website designer.

4. Picture the job finished

Visualise the job being completed. Give your image colour and movement and imagine how you'll feel inside when it's all finished. Really wallow in the satisfaction of having taken something to completion, and imagine yourself enjoying the result.

5. Exercise your finishing muscle

Experts believe it takes at least 21 days to create a new habit so draw up a 28-day grid, for four weeks of seven days, and make a list of things you need to finish. Tackle one a day for 28 days, and tick your grid boxes every day when you finish something. As you start to think of yourself as a finisher, you'll develop great self-esteem and confidence.

6. Give yourself a reward

When you've finished something, acknowledge it by having a few hours off work and going to the shops or a park, having a beauty treatment or going for a swim.

Proper Self Defense Rifle Ammo Recommendations

Article Posted: Septermber 18, 2012

This article based of years of research and discusses the experts recommendations on what caliber and ammo to use if you intend to keep a rifle for use in a self defense situation. It's short sweet, and very insightful. Have a read and be sure to share via your favorite social network outlet.

Rifles do not always work well as a self-defense firearm compare to pistols and shotguns. Ayoob: "The rifle is not well suited to the sudden, close-quarters deployment and maneuvering that is required of a defensive firearm. On the battlefield, yes. In civilian close combat, no way." Ayoob adds that "the rifle is too bulky for maneuvering through doors and hallways, too long to quickly and surreptitiously pick up when the attacker drops his guard, and too easy for the criminal to take away if the homeowner's attention is diverted."

Some cities ban handgun ownership (Chicago, New York, Detroit), so shotguns and rifles are the only choices for self-defense. Take some comfort from the fact that rifles have better stopping power, are a strong visual deterrent, and are much easier to hit with than any handgun. On a ranch or farm a rifle may be quite appropriate under certain circumstances today, just as it was on the frontier. Never use ball (FMJ) for self-defense in a rifle.

.22 Long Rifle

A good .22 auto loading, pump, or lever action rifle like the Ruger 10/22, Marlin Model 60, Remington Model 572, or Marlin Model 39 can do the job when nothing else is available. Use any high-velocity round (I like the CCI Stinger, Remington Yellow Jacket, or CCI "SGB" hunting load, #0058) and fire repeatedly. Multiple hits are crucial with a .22: shoot and shoot and shoot some more. Stay away from the after-market large-capacity magazines made by Ram-Line, Eagle, Hot Lips, etc: these plastic nightmares are unreliable, jam-prone and easily breakable.

.22 Magnum (.22 WMR)

Any Jacketed hollow point works. Winchester Super-X 40 grain JHP, CCI Maxi-Mag 40 grain HP, or another factory load.

.223 Remington (5.56x45mm NATO)

The .223 has a variety of hollow point factory loads to choose from and all are good man stoppers. The AR-15, Ruger Mini-14, Steyr Aug, and others all work well as self-defense rifles. Federal 40 grain P223V high-velocity hollow point works well.

Marshall says this is the #1 urban defense load. It is lighter than other .223 bullets, however, so you'll need to adjust your sights if you carry the P223V (it shoots lower than all other .223 loads).

If you want better penetration than the P223V offers, choose any good 55-69 grain hollow point from a big name manufacturer (I like Federal). Soft points offer even greater penetration, probably more than you need.

older .223 guns with a 1 in 12\" rifling twist shoot more accurately with 55 grain bullets (as they were designed for the old U.S. Army M193 ball round). Newer rifles with a faster 1 in 7\" twist (this includes the AR-15A2 and nearly all European models) prefer the heavier 60-70 grain bullets (like the M855/SS109 ball round). Ruger Mini-14 rifles have a 1 in 10\" twist and do well with either bullet weight. This is only important at longer ranges. Save the cheapo ball rounds for practice.

7.62x39mm (AK Round and 7.62 mm Russian Short)

Some prefer this East Bloc cartridge to the .223 for defense use. It is an excellent round, most commonly used in SKS and AK-47 derived rifles, as well as the Ruger Mini-30. Use any 123-125 grain soft point from Cor-Bon, Federal, Winchester, or Remington. PMC makes a good low-priced 125 grain soft point (PMC762B) you might like if you have a lot of magazines to fill.

.30 M1 Carbine

Never use ball in your M1 for defense. The .30 Carbine ball sucks, but .30 Carbine hollow points work very well. Buy the Winchester 110 grain Hollow Soft Point (X30M1) and forsake all others.

.30-30 Winchester

This hoary old round has survived so long for a simple reason: it works. Load your Winchester or Marlin .30-30 lever-action rifle with any hollow point - I recommend the Federal 125 grain (3030C). Leave the soft-points for hunting and practice.

.308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO)

This is an excellent rifle cartridge, perhaps the best. Over-penetration is the biggest problem. Use fast opening bullets of 150 grains or less. The Nosler Ballistic Tip, Hornady V-Max, and Remington Accu-Tip are examples of quick-opening bullets that are available in several brands of factory loaded ammunition.

9mm Parabellum

Generally the same as for pistols, above. Heckler & Koch, Uzi and Colt 9mm carbines will feed anything, so I recommend the Cor-Bon 115 or 124 grain +P JHP and Remington 115 grain jacketed hollow-points (R9MM1). Any reliable hollow point is a good choice in a 9mm carbine and the long barrel makes for high velocity and increased effectiveness.

.30-06 Springfield

This excellent and time-proven cartridge has too many top-notch loads to list. Choose the same bullets mentioned in connection with the .308 Winchester (above).

.357 Magnum (rifle)

Follow the guidelines for revolvers, above. The .357 makes an excellent carbine round for urban self-defense in Marlin or Winchester lever-action or Action Arms/Israeli Military Industries \"Timber Wolf\" .357 pump-action carbines.

.44 Magnum (rifle)

Pick any good hollow point, using the guidelines for revolvers (above). Don't be tempted to use soft points; these hunting rounds will blow right through your foe.

Is Your Fussy Eater Getting All the Nutrition They Need? Part 1

As a parent, you want what is best for your child, especially when it comes to their health and the foods they eat every day. It is pretty easy to control when your child is a newborn who relies on you for 100 percent of their meals and snacks.

In particular, if you are breastfeeding, you will make certain that you are eating all the things that you and your baby need, and taking vitamins and supplements as needed.

If you are giving them formula, you pay attention to the doctor’s recommendations, and buy the best formula your baby can have in order to get all the nutrition they need in their vital early stages of development.

At this point in your child’s life, their nutrition should be complete, no matter what feeding choice you make. But once you start on solid foods, this is where the trouble can start to creep in.

Once they start to develop their own likes and dislikes when it comes to food, it can be a running battle to get them to eat that is goof for them.

Whether have got a fussy toddler or a stubborn teen or pre-teen, once a child has learned to say no, they control what ultimately goes into their stomachs.
