Current Alzheimer's medications can help for a time with memory symptoms and other cognitive changes. Two types of drugs are currently used to treat cognitive symptoms:
Cholinesterase inhibitors. These drugs work by boosting levels of a cell-to-cell communication by providing a neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) that is depleted in the brain by Alzheimer's disease. The improvement is modest. Cholinesterase inhibitors can improve neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as agitation or depression, as well.
Commonly prescribed cholinesterase inhibitors include donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Razadyne) and rivastigmine (Exelon). The main side effects of these drugs include diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite and sleep disturbances. In people with cardiac conduction disorders, serious side effects may include a slow heart rate and heart block.
Sometimes other medications such as antidepressants are used to help control the behavioral symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease. But some medications should only be used with great caution. For example, some common sleep medications — zolpidem (Ambien), eszopiclone (Lunesta) and others — may increase confusion and the risk of falls.
Anti-anxiety medications — clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan) — increase the risk of falls, confusion and dizziness. Always check with your doctor before taking any new medications.
Adapting the living situation to the needs of a person with Alzheimer's is an important part of any treatment plan. For someone with Alzheimer's, establishing and strengthening routine habits and minimizing memory-demanding tasks can make life much easier.
You can take these steps to support a person's sense of well-being and continued ability to function:
Regular exercise is an important part of everybody's wellness plan — and those with Alzheimer's are no exception. Activities such as a daily walk can help improve mood and maintain the health of joints, muscles and the heart.
Exercise can also promote restful sleep and prevent constipation. Make sure that the person with Alzheimer's carries identification or wears a medical alert bracelet if she or he walks unaccompanied.
People with Alzheimer's who develop trouble walking may still be able to use a stationary bike or participate in chair exercises. You may be able to find exercise programs geared to older adults on TV or on DVDs.
People with Alzheimer's may forget to eat, lose interest in preparing meals or not eat a healthy combination of foods. They may also forget to drink enough, leading to dehydration and constipation.
Certain nutritional supplements are marketed as "medical foods" specifically to treat Alzheimer's disease. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve products marketed as medical foods. Despite marketing claims, there's no definitive data showing that any of these supplements is beneficial or safe.
Various herbal mixtures, vitamins and other supplements are widely promoted as preparations that may support cognitive health or prevent or delay Alzheimer's. Currently, there's no strong evidence that any of these therapies slow the progression of cognitive decline.
Some of the treatments that have been studied recently include:
Supplements promoted for cognitive health can interact with medications you're taking for Alzheimer's disease or other health conditions. Work closely with your health care team to create a treatment plan that's right for you. Make sure you understand the risks and benefits of everything it includes.

Bipartisan opposition of the farm bill led to its defeat in the House on Thursday.
According to Fox News, more than 60 House Republicans voted against the half-trillion-dollar bill. The bill sets funding for farm subsidies and other assistance.
The vote was 234 to 195 against the bill.
The defeat was expected, however.
"The fate of the farm bill in the House is far from certain, with strong divisions over food stamps and dairy policy reforms. But it looks like a House farm bill will at least be debated; something that did not happen in 2012," Rich Pottoroff, Doane chief economist and Washington analyst, wrote in his weekly "D.C. Watch" column.
The House bill cuts nearly $4 billion annually in overall spending on farm and nutrition programs, expanded crop insurance programs and created a new kind of crop insurance that kicks in before farmers' paid policies.
The bill also reworks the dairy program. Click here to read more.
The Senate passed its version of the farm bill last week by a vote of 66 to 27.

Alex Hales and Luke Wright gave England a handy start with a half-century opening stand in the warm-up match against a Vice-Chancellor's XI at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
Hales and Wright each had a chance in the absence of rested one-day international captain Alastair Cook and Ian Bell to make a case as prospective 50-over openers.
In a match also notable as England's first since the controversial axing of record runscorer Kevin Pietersen from all future plans, the tourists reached 87 for two in 15 overs.
England were put in on a sunny morning but after overnight rain, and Wright was under way with a cut for four off Miguel Cummins from the second ball of the match.
He also pulled the same bowler, who made his international debut against Ireland last weekend, for six to bring up the 50 stand in the seventh over.
Wright appeared marginally the more assured of the opening pair until he lost a little patience against left-armer Raymon Reifer's line wide outside off-stump and smeared a catch to deep cover.
Hales was joined by Ben Stokes, and the number three hit his third ball from first-change Jonathan Carter over midwicket for four.
But 17-year-old seamer Alzarri Joseph, called into this match from outside the hosts' initial squad, had Hales mis-pulling to present him with a simple catch almost in the batting crease in his follow-through.

POLICE have called rumours of attempted pupil abductions from Thomas Tallis School "factually incorrect".
Officers are investigating after students reported being approached by strangers as they walked to and from the Kidbrooke-based school.
A number of alleged incidents – including common assault – have been reported but detectives say they do not believe pupils are in danger.
Rumours circulating on social media of attempted abductions have also been dismissed.
Superintendent Chris Hafford, of Greenwich Criminal Investigation Department, said: "There are some rumours on social media suggesting that there have been attempted abductions of children - to the best of our knowledge, this is factually incorrect.
"We do not believe that pupils are in any immediate danger but we would ask children and their parents to remain vigilant.
"We would encourage pupils to alert police immediately by calling 999 if they are subjected to any unwelcome approach or if they witness anti-social behaviour."
He added: "We are working with the school to ensure that pupils remain safe."
School officers and Safer Neighbourhoods teams are currently conducting extra patrols in and around the school.

For a long, long patch of the Colts' 27-24 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday night at Reliant Stadium in Houston, I'm sure plenty of people sitting at home like me felt tempted to turn off the television and go to bed, some even without cursing. I'm also sure many knew that, as long as time remained, counting Luck out is always premature.
For much of the game, Luck looked lousy, a reflection of his team as a whole. He was under unbearable pressure from an inspired Houston pass rush triggered by J.J. Watt. Luck sailed his throws long. He missed open receivers, even guys he'd played with at Stanford University. He learned why critics think Darrius Heyward-Bey has a dropping problem. Or maybe it's a catching problem.
Yet this 24-year-old quarterback with cool demeanor in the tradition of Joe Montana or (insert your favorite clutch QB here) refused to flinch. Luck had every reason to flinch. He was 6-of-20 passing for a mere 89 yards with four sacks, staring at a 24-6 deficit. He didn't flinch.
NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth was working on his Hall of Fame induction speech for Texans quarterback Case Keenum (350 yards, three TDs) when Luck finally tapped into a flicker of momentum.
Luck hit T.Y. Hilton – one shoe off, one shoe on – with a touchdown pass. It was a pretty one, one of timing and touch, and it set up everything to follow.
When Luck is in a rhythm, he's a handful for any team. Granted, the Texans defense probably lost some zest when head coach Gary Kubiak was taken to the hospital at halftime. (The Texans say they expect him to be fine.)
And the Texans, like other teams that have built a lead on the Colts during Luck's season-and-a-half, tried coasting to a win instead of accelerating. Keenum went away from looking for Andre Johnson (nine catches, 229 yards, three touchdowns) just enough to let the Colts secondary breathe.
Houston kicker Randy Bullock allowed an opening with a missed field goal. It was one of three misses, including a 55-yarder as time expired. You don't give Luck a late-game opening.
With Reggie Wayne on the sidelines sporting crutches after knee surgery, Luck's passing options are limited. But he honed in on Hilton and it paid off.
Luck burned the Texans with a 58-yard touchdown pass to Hilton to cut the Texans' lead to 24-19 with 9:54 left. Nine minutes, 54 seconds in the fourth quarter is a football lifetime for Luck so far in his career.
The Colts defense forced a punt, helped by coach Chuck Pagano's challenge that led to a replay reversal of a Johnson catch. The punt bounced back to near midfield.
Luck hit Griff Whalen to convert a third-and-10. He dumped one to Trent Richardson, who made his biggest play so far, sprinting down the left sideline. On second-and-7, Luck found Hilton for a third touchdown to put the Colts up 25-24. Hilton caught seven passes for 121 yards in making his case for filling Wayne's shoes.
The Colts went for the two-point conversion and Luck completed a back-shoulder pass to Coby Fleener, who caught it despite being double teamed. It was a perfectly placed pass, in a spot only Fleener could have caught it.
It was the kind of pass Colts fans saw Peyton Manning make for a dozen-plus magical seasons.
The Texans failed to force overtime and dropped to 2-6. The Colts improved to 6-2, and the legend of Luck gained another building block as the Colts prepare for next Sunday's home game against the Rams.
There were a number of reasons why the Colts were in such a hole in Houston, not the least of which were two plays that seemed like missed calls: A no-call when Colts punter Pat McAfee took a shot as he punted and a replay reversal after the Colts forced a fumble and recovered it on a Texans' kick return.
The offensive line gave Luck little time to throw early, and his hurried, inaccurate throws reflected that. A drop by Hilton killed a drive, too.
Here's the thing, though: Defenses tire. Pass rushing becomes tougher after a night of body shots and uncalled holds. Luck's intelligence and physical strength allow him to shake off early problems and forget failures.
Luck has three come-from-behind wins this season. Colts coaches don't want to force him into those situations too often. To their credit, they looked for him to lead in the second half, all but abandoning the running game to let him rip. Why not? He rips it late like few others.
Luck has a presence that teams are always looking for in a quarterback. The Colts found that type of player in Manning. To strike it rich again is the best of luck, as well as the best of Luck.

Planning for Corsham's major spring and summer events is well under way.
The Charity Sci-Fi group has confirmed its family fun day will take place on April 26 at Corsham School.
Chairman Adrian Davies said: "We can't confirm all the guests yet, but we have some pretty serious people coming up, which would be a bit of a coup for us.
"Doctor Who storyboard artist Mark Collins will be here again. He has agreed to be our president, to replace Richard LeParmentier who died last year."
At the town hall, plans are also coming together for the summer fete and Armed Forces Day celebration, which is on July 5, a week after Armed Forces Day.
Sharon Thomas, town council community and information officer, said: "We'll be having our big summer fete on the same day, so we didn't want it to clash with other events elsewhere.
"It will be back at the Springfield Rec, and should be a really good event.
"The last time we did it there was for the jubilee fete, which was a really successful day, and we're really looking forward to it."
The event will also see the launch of the town's First World War centenary commemorations, including a recreation practice trench set up at The Batters, and the re-enactment of the Red Cross hospital which was at the town call during the war.
The council is welcoming any ideas for further commemorative events. To help, call (01249) 702130.

"We know about this firsthand"
President Obama crisscrossed the country yesterday to get the word out: This summer, if Republicans in Congress refuse to act, the interest rate on federal student loans is set to double.
He started the day speaking to students at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. After hearing from the President, Emily, a music major from Ohio who's headed for graduate school this fall, was ready to take action:
"If the interest rates do double, I'm going to have to count on my parents even more, and they've already put my sister and brother through college, so they're not in a place right now to be helping me pay even more than they already are. I'm definitely going to talk to my representatives in Ohio and make sure that they don't let that happen."
Rodrigo, a Tar Heel studying environmental health science and anthropology, shared what a college education means to him:
"As the son of a small-business owner, the thought of paying for college was always a very scary thought. On average, half our income has to go back into supplying the business. The only way for me to attend college debt-free would have been to win a full merit scholarship. President Obama's student loan reform has affected me because I am part of the disappearing middle class, and a college education is instrumental to future success for my family. Without reform, the cost of college education would be a constant weight on my future and success."
After the speech, President Obama slow-jammed college affordability with Jimmy Fallon—then flew to Colorado, where he wrapped up the day with a rally at UC Boulder:
I don't need to tell all of you that it's gotten harder. Since most of you were born, tuition and fees at American colleges have more than doubled. And that forces students like you to take out more loans and rack up more debt. The average student who borrows to pay for college now graduates about $25,000 in student loan debt. Not good. Americans now owe more on their student loans than they do on their credit cards.
And living with that kind of debt means some pretty tough choices when you're first starting out. It means putting off buying your first house. Or it means maybe you can't start up that business right away that you've got this great idea for.
And I want to point out—listen, I know about this firsthand. Michelle and I, we know about this firsthand. This is not something I read in a briefing book. This is not some abstract idea for us. We've been in your shoes. When we graduated from college and law school, we had a mountain of debt, both of us. That means when we got married, we got poorer together. We added our assets together, and they were zero. And then we added our liabilities together, and they were a lot.
We paid more for our student loans than we paid for our mortgage each month when we first bought our small condo in Chicago. And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income, but we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago. Think about that. I'm the President of the United States and—so here I am, and we were writing those checks every month. And that wasn't easy, especially when we had Malia and Sasha, because at that point, we're supposed to be saving for their college educations, and we're still paying off on our college educations. So I've been in your shoes. I know what I am talking about here. This is not something that I just read about.
So we've got to make college more affordable for you. We cannot price the middle class out of a college education. When most new jobs in America require more than a high school diploma, higher education—whether at a four-year college, at a two-year program—it can't be a luxury. It's an economic imperative for every family in America. And every family in America should be able to afford it.
Tweet Republicans in Congress, and demand action to prevent student loan rates from doubling.

Over the weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana some of the better young players in the Hoosier State and beyond gathered for the Elite Training Mini Camp put on by former college coach Sean Bledsoe. The camp had some impressive prospects, but one of the best was clearly class of 2012 product from Milwaukee, Junior Lomomba.
Top Prospects at the camp
Junior Lomomba: There is no doubt that the 2012 wing has a lot of toughness and big time ability on the basketball floor. Lomomba played at the event with a cast on his right arm, and for the most part that meant he could only go left. Even with that, Lomomba showed off the athleticism and skill that makes him one of the better wings in the Midwest in his class. He attacked the basket off the dribble, finished well above the rim with dunks, and also he was even making jump shots out to the mid-range. At 6-foot-4, Lomomba is a bit more of a small forward than a shooting guard at the moment, but the Milwaukee product showed why he already is being recruited at a high level.
Chrishawn Hopkins: The Butler pledge will definitely add a lot of athleticism to the Bulldogs the moment he gets on campus. Quite simply Hopkins is one of the premier athletes in the entire 2010 class. He showed that with multiple dunks where his head was well above the rim. Hopkins is more than just an athlete though, he does have basketball skill. He showed an ability to shoot beyond three point range off the catch, and also is capable of handling the ball well in traffic while driving to the rim. The next step for him is to be able to shoot of the dribble, but you just don't see too many athletes like him. Hopkins is definitely one of the more undervalued 2010 recruits in the Midwest.
Darryl Baker: He is one of the top prospects, if not the top prospect, in Indiana in the 2013 class, and there is no doubt the kid will live up to the hype. Baker is still figuring out how to play the game, but he is a physically mature player who relies on strength and athleticism to make plays. He handles the ball very well for a prospect his size, and shows signs of being a point guard despite right now being most comfortable on the wing. As his shot continues to improve, Baker will be a force, but right now his peers simply aren't able to match his strength and athleticism off the dribble.
R.J. Hunter: Hunter is the son of current IUPUI head man Ron Hunter, and it is obvious that his dad has taught the 2012 wing well. At the moment Hunter is lanky and needs to add strength, but he has a high basketball IQ, and he looks like he can play multiple positions. Right now Hunter prefers to go off the dribble, but he also showed an ability to knock down open shots, and with his long arms he has the potential to be a very good defender on the wing.
Jacoby Bledsoe: Bledsoe is definitely small, but the 2012 point guard from Indianapolis has a lot of game. He is extremely quick off the dribble, and shows a good instinct to find open men in transition with the pass. Also Bledsoe showed an ability to really knock down outside shots to go along with being a solid athlete. Right now he is clearly at his best when in transition, and will need to work on things when the game is in the half court set. If he continues to grow physically, his stock could see a major spike, but already he is making strides in his game since we last saw him in June.
Brent Calhoun: You need to use some vision with this 2012 post prospect, but Calhoun has some tools to work with. He is knocking on the door of 6-foot-8, and has long arms. Right now Calhoun has three things really working for him. He has incredible hands, good footwork, and the natural ability to block shots. Most impressive are his hands. Both on rebounds and passes, Calhoun absolutely snags the ball and never lets it go. There aren't many big men his age with a better set of mitts. Calhoun however really needs to keep progressing and focus on being able to finish inside, where he missed a lot of easy shots, and also gain that killer instinct that will allow him to be able to take advantage of his size.
D.J. Balentine: Balentine is a solid looking floor general in the 2012 class. Right now he is working on his quickness and being able to beat defenders off the bounce, and at the moment he looks to be getting there. Balentine is a good shooter who is capable of making shots both off the dribble and off the bounce. The whole package of his game has him getting mid-major attention, and if he shows that explosion off the dribble more options will come his way.
Jodan Price: Price is a good looking wing from Lawrence Central High School who will make an excellent combination in the 2012 class with high school teammate Jeremy Hollowell. Price is long, has good athleticism, and showed the ability to make a three point jumper at times. He definitely needs to get more consistent with his jump shot, but his combination of size and athleticism definitely making him one to watch in the future.

Then I added some of my turkey drippings and used half-n-half with this and everyone went nuts over it! Would be great with chicken too!Date published: 2017-01-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Coconut from Really good gravy I make good gravy on my own, but I always add a jar of gravy base to bump it over the top. It adds color and a deeper flavor to my homemade gravy. I'm a real gravy hog and my plate is shamefully afloat with it, so it has to be good....and this stuff is. I just bought 4 more to have on my shelf.Date published: 2017-01-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen1234 from Great Turkey Gravy! I am no longer afraid to make gravy for our Thanksgiving turkey!

Eating Disorders
I think I might have an eating disorder
I think I might have binge eating disorder. When I tried to talk to my doctor about this she just said I need to lose weight, I should eat less and exercise more.
Nobody knows what hell my mind and body are going through. I hate myself for being fat. I hate myself for eating. I hate myself for wanting to eat. I hate myself for ever feeling hungry whether I eat or not. I try very hard not to eat and not to feel hungry. I never eat in public. I never eat during the day. But at night, a lot of the time it is between 11 pm and 4 am I feel so hungry I would give anything to eat and then - because I don`t keep any food in the house - I run out to the store and buy a bag of groceries and eat the whole thing. I feel so stuffed I honestly think my stomach is going to explode. And then of course I hate myself even more for that.
How can I get help? I feel like my whole life is out of control, and I hate myself every minute of every day for not being able to be thin and for being so weak that I have to eat. I hate myself for eating or feeling hungry, ever. I hate myself all the time and I can`t stand it. Why can`t I be normal?
Is this an eating disorder and how do I get help?
Binge eating disorder is a clinically determined biologcially based mental illness. It is often dismissed by unknowing primary care physicians, but the disturbance is great and the ability to control the eating is overwhelmingly hard because the body and mind work against your intentions.
If you live in Central Ohio, since you wrote to Ohio State, there are free eating disorder support groups, one of which is focused on Binge Eating Disorder, at The Center for Balanced Living. You can learn more about these at http://www.thecenterforbalancedliving.org/.
Or go to the National Eating Disorder Association's website and seek a referral from arount the country.

porpoise wrote:vinasp wrote: Dependent Origination thus becomes a chain of "objects of desire".
I think DO is basically describing how desire keeps us "in the loop" of suffering.
Dependent origination offers a radically different perspective that transcends the two extremes. It shows that individual existence is constituted by a current of conditioned phenomena devoid of metaphysical self yet continuing on from birth to birth as long as the causes that sustain it remain effective. Dependent origination thereby offers a cogent explanation of the problem of suffering that on the one hand avoids the philosophical dilemmas posed by the hypothesis of a permanent self, and on the other avoids the dangers of ethical anarchy to which annihilationism eventually leads. As long as ignorance and craving remain, the process of rebirth continues; kamma yields its pleasant and painful fruit, and the great mass of suffering accumulates. When ignorance and craving are destroyed, the inner mechanism of karmic causation is deactivated, and one reaches the end of suffering in samsara. Perhaps the most elegant exposition of dependent origination as the "middle teaching" is the famous Kaccanogotta sutta.
DarwidHalim wrote:What is the difference between aversion and repulsion?
In this interpretation "feeling" is not actual feeling, but "feeling" as an
object of desire - objectified feeling.
And, of course, it arises in dependence on objectified contact, and is itelf one
condition for the arising of objectified craving.
Dependent Origination thus becomes a chain of "objects of desire".
"If, through revulsion towards the eye, through its fading away and cessation,
one is liberated by nonclinging, one can be called a bhikkhu who has attained
Nibbana in this very life." [Part of SN 35.155]

I think it might be more useful to separate out revulsion (nibbida) from dispassion (viraga), as Mike's quoted sutta points out. The dispassion appears to be supported by the attempt to turn the will aside from something (re-volens, the root of revulsion). I also like the translation "disgust", but again in the minimal sense of unwillingness to consume, rather than the stronger sense of wanting to vomit, etc. Revulsion is a little more active than dispassion.
Nibbidā (f.) [ ... ] weariness, disgust with worldly life, tedium, aversion, indifference, disenchantment N. is of the preliminary & conditional states for the attainment of Nibbāna (see nibbāna II B 1) & occurs frequently together with ;virāga, vimutti & nibbāna; ..."

Obama administration wants to make (GMO) life even easier for Monsanto
While activists have been pushing for years to have more oversight and more scientific analysis in the approval process for genetically modified organisms (GMOs), it looks like the Obama administration is moving in the other direction.
Michael Gregoire, a USDA deputy administrator, said today they are looking to streamline the approval process and cut the time it takes to get new biotech crops approved (currently about three years) in half.
Under the rule changes, new versions of existing crop technologies, such as corn that produces a naturally occurring pesticide, would undergo a review lasting about 13 months, Gregoire said. That would be accomplished by making the agency's determination final after a 30-day public review period, he said.
For new technologies, such as a crops engineered to tolerate a new herbicide, there will be a second comment period after the agency makes its preliminary decision, extending the overall duration of the review to about 16 months, he said.
And in a time of budget cuts for everyone from toddlers to grannies, somehow the USDA has gotten more money for its Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) budget for biotech regulation – almost a 50% increase, to $18 million, which should also let them rush things through even quicker. Monsanto does seem to have a lot of friends in Washington. (See: Monsanto employees in the halls of government.)
There are currently 22 biotech crops under review. Thirteen of those are modified for herbicide resistance, such as Dow Chemical's corn that is resistant to the herbicide 2,4-D (one of the main ingredients in Agent Orange, used during the Vietnam War); today the USDA gave in to pressure from the Center for Food Safety and extended the public input period until April.
Currently, the USDA waits until the end of the process to seek public input, which means there's a last-minute rush. Gregoire says they'll now look for public input from the very beginning of the process so they'll be better able to address concerns.
Of course, it's more likely they'll continue to ignore us, as they've done in every case so far (See: Did the White House pressure USDA to approve GMO alfalfa?). That's how Bill Freese at the Center for Food Safety sees it, anyway. "They are trying to work the system so they can dismiss public comments more quickly and easily in order to speed things up," Freese told Bloomberg.com. "It's a rubber-stamp system."
If there was one thing we didn't really need, it was to make it easier for big chemical companies to ram through inadequately tested agricultural products that encourage the rampant use of pesticides. But that's what we're getting.
Monsanto already dominates US agriculture, controlling 90 percent or more of the seeds for corn, soybeans, cotton, and sugar beets.

Who doesn't love one of the hottest embellishments in the industry right now—twine?! I adore my twine collection. My kids do too! That part I don't adore so much, but I guess I can be nice and share. Especially when I'm able to snag up such great deals on amazing colors and the perfect amounts with today's steal, the We R Memory Keepers Twine Spools.
Now if you want to do a little more with your twine collection than simply admire how pretty it looks on the spools then today's guest blogger Ilene Tell shows us some pretty spectacular uses for twine that will definitely get the ideas flowing.
• • • • •
Hi everyone, Ilene here, and I'm so excited to share my project with you guys today! I got to work with two really gorgeous colors of twine from We R Memory Keepers -- Aqua and Orange. The spools are enormous and they will last me a really long time. I used a lot, but I barely made a dent. I decided that it would be fun to make a card. On such a small canvas, the impact of the twine is very evident. Here is my card, using the new My Mind's Eye paper.
In order to make the border, I added a thin line of glue. I used Beacon Adhesives "Fabri-Tac" glue, since it works so well, especially on cloth (and in this case, on twine). Then I added a twisted, haphazard border all around using the Orange twine. You could stop there, and have the one layer, but I decided to do a double border. I used a paper piercer and my Tim Holtz ruler to poke holes all around the edge, and then hand-stitched a border with the Aqua twine. On its own, this would have allow made an attractive border, but I really like the effect of the double border, since you have the more haphazard layer that looks like it has been stitched down by the more orderly layer. This is a great example of a couple different ways of attaching twine to your layouts.
For the dress forms, I used my Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers Sizzix "Mini Sewing Room" die. I cut 3 dress form out of chipboard. I then cut two pieces of cardstock about the size of the body of the dressform and covered them with Fabri-Tac glue. I added a layer of twine by gluing it to the cardstock in layers going back and forth. Then I simply die cut the covered cardstock with my die again, and glued to the chipboard dress forms. This is an easy way to create handmade twine embellishments that gives your project a lot of texture. For the third dress form, I covered the body with some matching paper, and then finished it off with Glossy Accents for more dimension. As a last step, I finished off the inside of the card with more paper from the collection, and a Tim Holtz stamp.
I hope you guys liked my card and got an idea or two on how to make the most of your twine!
• • • • •
Ilene, your card is darling! I can't wait to put my twine to use in a way other than my girls making friendship bracelets with it! Love it!
If you love today's project also be sure to stop by Ilene's blog and check her oodles of other inspiring ideas.
Be sure to check in tomorrow for another awesome Mid Week Mojo as well as the winners of our online crop challenges and again on Friday for another awesome guest sketcher! We just love to keep the ideas a-flowing around here!
Have a lovely day!

What is a Temp-Controller?
This product is intended to be used with a 12-volt electrical system like found on most vehicles or machinery. Most common uses are with Motorcycles, Auto, Snowmobiles, ATV's, etc.
Our Women's Passenger 12v Heated Gloves are made from Grade A top grain drum dyed cowhide. The inside of the Warm & Safe Heated Gear gloves are made with Porelle® breathable material with a
"Waterproof" Membrane. The heated gloves also include a layer of Thinsulate. Thinsulate keeps you warm when its cold outside.

The more air a material traps in a given space the better it insulates you from the cold outside air. The palms have reinforced protection. The fingers are pre-curved providing comfort the first you put them on. The thumb has double heat, we know how that is appreciated.
The Heated Passenger Gloves will keep you hands warm when plugged into a 12 volt DC power source, like that found on most vehicles, motorcycles, auto, snowmobiles, ATV's, etc.

" Drink / With added vitamins. "
The idea of drinking milk takes us back to the days of childhood where you had milk at playschool or in the infants. To this day I still enjoy milkshakes and I consider myself to be somewhat of a milk connoisseur. I have sampled Yazoos, Nesquik and Krush milkshakes and enjoyed them all, so I wondered how the Asda milkshake mix might compare in the stakes.
You can buy several flavours, the one I had was chocolate. You get a generous sized tub for your one pound twenty, a tub of over 300 grammes which looks like it could last a good month or two if one dipped into it everyday. One accesses the mix by peeling off the protective topping then exposing the powder. It is rather like dust and it has a cocoa like whiff to it which is subtle enough to make your nose perk up and take attention.
The powder must be added to milk to make it dilute. On first attempt I used two heaped teaspooonfuls to a pint and then found this to be very wea. I upped the dose to four and this cut through with more conviction. The chocolate taste was pleasant without being overly creamy and also not too bitter. While it could have been a bit more creamy I reckon, the powder was on a par with the taste that on gets from Nesquik, so in this respect it met my expectations. I also like the fact that it comes fortified with vitamins, as this gives you a naughty excuse to have a glass of this a day!
A light and refreshing milkshake mix that will please kids, though for me it could have had a twist, like a minty aftertaste or maybe a dark chocolate aroma to give it some oomph.
**Firstly my review is of the same product, just the Strawberry flavoured version**
My 2 year old twin boys love their milk. It took me 2 years to get them off bottles as they adored them but despite being off bottles they still got to have at least one glass of milk a day, it's routine now. Milk to me though gets a bit boring so I like to liven up their drinks a little.
You can purchase plenty of milkshake mixes these days, Nesquik being a very popular one however trying to save money where possible I opted for Asda's own the other day.
Asda Strawberry Milkshake mix, with added vitamins, costs just over £1.20 for a 350g tub, which to me is really good consdering nesquik is mostly double that price. You can also buy it in other flavours, including the banana one pictured above, but our favourite flavour is strawberry.
The milkshake mix comes in a bright yellow cardboard box, with a yellow plastic pull out lid. When you first buy it the milkshake is protected by a foil film underneath the lid which you do have to peel off to get to your powder. The stawberry milkshake mix version is decorated in pink coloured 'milkshake' bubbles with a super cow (a cow with a pink cloak) which clings onto a straw coming out of it. Obviously the other flavours are decorated in different coloured bubbles to resemble their flavour. We are told on the tub that this milkshake mix contains no artificial colours, flavours or hydrogenated fat.
A 20g serving of this milkshake mix in 200ml of semi skimmed milk contains:
167 calories
27.8g sugars
3.0g fat of which
2.0g saturates
The added vitamins within the milkshake mix include Vitamins A, D3, C Folic Acid amongst others.
By adding 2-3 teaspoons of this strawberry milkshake mix to your glass of milk and stirring you will soon have a lovely glass of strawberry milkshake.
The powder itself is a very pale pink in colour, therefore your glass of milk only turns a pale pink but don't be put off or don't add more as it tastes lovely. It tastes sweet, and it also tastes fruity, yet it doesn't taste too sweet or sugary or even 'fake' like I find nesquik does as I often find that quite sickly and too fake and sugary rather than a fruity tasting milkshake. This provides a very light tasting strawberry milkshake drink which is more than welcoming. This to me provides your typical milk drink with a bit of fruity flavour, and colour, so it's not quite as boring. Lovely!
We get through a lot of milkshake in our house, and usually have the ready made Yazoo bottles in the fridge. These work out very expensive if you are drinking it every day, so we opted for Asda's own banana milkshake mix.
Costing only £1.28 for a 350g box, it is considerably cheaper than others on the market. e.g Nesquik are charging £1.00 for 100g box. Sometimes when Asda have offers you can pick these up at two for £2.00. The packet doesn't look like it is cheap, it's bright yellow, very similar to Nesquiks colour. It then has a picture of a cow with a straw, stiring some milkshake. Very simple but its easy to spot and appealing to children.
These are also available in chocolate and vanilla flavours, and the price is the same. As with most of Asda's products, this contains no artificial colours, flavours or hydrogenated fat.
Each serving with 100ml of semi skimmed milk contains 167 calories and 3 grams of fat, not too bad considering this can pretty much replace a meal if you are not hungry enough to eat.
To make this milkshake you just fill a glass with cold milk and add two or three teaspoons of the powder, give it a good stir and you're ready to get drinking! When it comes to the taste, i could not tell any difference between this and Nesquik, it was very sweet in flavour and the powder dissolved well. Overall a very good product.
This milkshake carries the Asda brand guarantee, if you are not completely happy with it just give them a call, tell them what the problem is and they will issue a no quibble refund.
5/5 from me!
I always shop at asda, as they always have great offers on every time i go in. This time, i noticed there was an offer on their own brand of milkshake. This was 2 boxes for £2, which i thought was a bargain as my boyfriend loves milkshake.
Whilst in asda i decided to compare the asda milkshake on offer to the nesquik milkshake. I was instantly drawn to the asda more than the nesquik, as the size of the box of asda milkshare was double the size of the nesquik! I thought, not only is it cheaper but you get more for your money aswell! I was wrong there as when i looked at both boxes, even though the nesquik milkshake box was smaller, it had 300g of milkshake powder in it. I thought surely being a much bigger box the asda one will have double. But the asda box said it had 350g, so only a 50gram difference when the box was double the size!
When i got home i opened the milkshake box and as i expected, it was only just over half full! I hate it when shops do this, why do it in such a big box if your only going to fill half of it!
The box was bright yellow, the same colour as nesquik but with a bit simpler packaging and advertising. They stated the same facts as nesquik - no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or hydrogenerated fats. In fact the asda brand, told you all of this twice on the front of the box?! This shows how keen asda are to tell you about how good there food and drinks are.
They both also stated they had added vitamins. The asda brand didnt tell you what vitamins where added, where as nesquik were clear that it was vitamin D, which helped you have strong bones.
To make the milkshake, all you need to do is add 2-3 teaspoons, depending on how strong the taste you like it, to a glass of cold milk. Stir the milk and its ready to drink!
Although i dont usually like milk myself, i cant stand the taste, this milkshake does help me get a bit of calcium as i can drink it with the banana taste. I dont like much i only manage half a glass! But i always try and drink it a few times a week to get some calcium, and those added vitamins for stronger bones!
I hate thick milk shakes, like the ones you get in McDonalds! These milk shake powders are not like that, the texture is the same as the milk you put in, just with a nicer taste!
There are 167 calories per 200ml drink of milk with this milk shake mix, which is quite a lot i think for a drink? I think it must be the sugars and sweetners they add to the mixture.
Asda has a refund policy on this product if you are not happy with it, but what is there not to like about it! My boyfriend loves this product, and also drinks the chocolate and strawberry flavours.
The taste is no different at all in mine or my boyfriends opinion, having tried the nesquik milk shake mix aswell.
Deffinately give this a go if you love milk shake! It works out so much cheaper than buying it ready made in bottles and a box lasts for ages!
I have two little girls who both love milkshake and to be honest I quite like some every now and then as well. So while I was in ASDA with my mum I thought that I would buy some but rather than buy some in a bottle I thought I would buy the powder stuff so it would last a little bit longer.
At the time that I bought this milkshake paid £1.28 for a 350 gram box. You can every now and then find it on offer for 2 for £2 which is even better in the long run as its only a pound a box. In my opinion, this is great value if it is on offer or not.
You can find this in most supermarkets in the coffee and tea isle but some supermarkets have it in the home baking isle instead. I'm not too sure why the reason for this is but you will either find it in one isle or the other.
It comes in a bright yellow container with a picture of a glass of banana milkshake on it. You can see that it is ASDA own make as the bold blue sign at the top of the box gives it away lol. It states that it is banana milkshake and also that it has added vitamins with a little sign saying 350 grams on it as well.
To make the milkshake it is really rather simple. You pour out a glass of cold milk and add 2 or 3 big heaped spoons of the banana flavoured powder. If your wanting a suttle taste of banana then I would say use two spoonfuls but like me and my girls I recommend that you use 3 spoonful's for that full banana flavoured taste.

Only this milkshake is ready to drink you will notice that its not a thick milkshake as it is only as thick as the milk itself. I look at this milkshake as more flavoured milk than milkshake but I am not complaining as it is perfect for me. I'm not a fan of banana I am more of a chocolate and strawberry in general but I really enjoyed this kind, and more importantly so did my two daughters. It does say add 2 to 3 spoonfuls but I add three for a better tasting banana flavour. I was actually rather surprised and how good it tasted as I think that I was expecting it to kind of taste artificial but it wasn't at all. And I was also surprise to find that it was full of vitamins and even folic acid which is great for women who are pregnant or women that are trying for baby.
I would defiantly recommend this product for both children and adults and me and my little princess both enjoyed it. Even more so as It lasted me about a month or so rather than it all finished in one go like the bottles that you buy like Yazoo. I would also highly recommend this to pregnant women as when I was pregnant I was told as well as take my folic acid pill every day to eat or drink food that had it in them which at the time is actually really difficult to find in it. If I had known this when I was pregnant I would of made sure I had at least 2 glasses per day along with my daily tablet and other food that I could find. I would rate this milkshake full marks. It is a 5 out of 5 for me:o)
Thank for taking the time to read my review, it is very much appreciated and I hope my review was useful for you to make your mind up if this milkshake is for you or not. Thanks again.
I love banana milkshake but buying the ready made bottles works out expensive, I use the Nesquik powder regularly and thought I'd try this Asda version of banana milkshake powder instead because it's not only cheaper than Nesquik but also comes in a bigger tub,
To make the milkshake up you pour out a glass of cold milk and add 2 or 3 big spoons of the yellow banana flavoured powder. Through trial and error I have found out that 3 and a bit spoons makes the perfect milkshake for me, but when I did my mate one the other day she only used 2 spoons so you'll have to suss that one out for yourself.
The powder is very easy to mix into the milk and you don't end up with a load of clumps in the bottom of your glass when you drink it. I always mix mine with a fork because I think any milkshake powder you use is a lot easier to mix in with a fork rather than a spoon.
When it's mixed properly you'll see that there isn't much difference between this milkshake and the more expensive Nesquik. This one from Asda is delish, it's got a lovely sweet flavour and tastes proper strong of banana. It doesn't taste like fresh banana obviously but has got the same sort of FLUFFY taste as those foam banana sweets you can buy. I love how this milkshakes transforms a boring glass of milk into something so sweet and yummy.
The sweetness I think might be too much for a lot of people because this has got a mega sugary flavour, that's the only difference really between this and Nesquik so if you think it's too sweet then it's worth you faffing about with the amount of powder you're putting into the glass because it could be that.
If you use 20g of powder and 200ml of semi skimmed milk then each glass contains 167 calories and 3g fat. That doesn't look too bad but I think it's a bit scary considering I can get through 3 or 4 glasses of this milkshake a day..... time to look for a low calorie version I reckon! lol
This 350g box of milkshake powder cost £1.28, compared to Nesquick that's very good value because their 300g cartons are £1.67 AND this Asda one also has added vitamins such as Vitamin C and folic acid.
I am going to review the Asda chocolate milkshake mix but since the only one in Dooyoos catalogue is the banana then i will write it under here.
My nan bought me a tub of this after she went shopping. Ive notices that they have tried to copy the nesquik style with the yellow tub because as soon as I saw it I thought it was a nesquik.
The taste of it is very nice. When I first made it i put in 3 big scoops of a tea spoon because thats how much i normally put in if i was using nesquik but when I tasted it i realised I could do with an extra scoop just to get it how I like it but apart from that you cant fault it. I think thats its just as good tasting as nesquik which I thought it wouldnt be when I first saw it.
If you put 20g worth of powder in a glass of 200ml of semi skimmed milk then it will be 166 calories which is very good since if you had a can of coke then that would be over 200 cals. It would also be 3.6g fat.
Using this mix is a great way to drink healthy and to get calcium into you all at a great taste. This will also be good if you had kids because they will also love it.
In conclusion save your money and buy this version instead of the expensive versions because they taste just as good as each other.
My son has a milk allergy and will not drive rice milk. So getting some kind of milk in to him is hard work
It was only when the health visitor told me about adding a flavour powder to his milk.
I noticed this one while walking round ASDA I can not remember the price. But it was a lot cheaper then nesquick

*** Product it self***
It's a yellow powder with a very strong smell of banana - its not over powering either. Very sweet smell.
When made up it turns the milk a nice shade of yellow and smells like bananas and tastes very much like banana milk shake.
You can really taste the banana taste which is nice as I find some milk shake mix can taste very powdery this didn't have any powder taste.

These are all your added Vitamins - I was surprise to see how many were added. And its nice to know my children are getting the vitamins
*** How to use**
Task a nice glass of ice cold milk (I like the milk nice and cold) and add 2-3 teaspoons of the mix to the milk and stair well . And now drink and enjoy .
** what I thought**
Great product and helped my son drink rice milk, and now my son will always ask for Banana milk, a cheap and simple way and best of all we all enjoy a nice drink of this.
Having children you always want what is best for them and we all know that milk is an important part of their growth to support healthy bones teeth and nails.
When they are babies they only have milk which is full of the nutrients that they need once they get to the age of 1 they are able to consume cows milk unless there is an allergy. This swap from a different milk is hard and can be a challenge to get them to drink it. I was lucky with my son he couldnt stop consuming milk and still cant its getting him to leave it alone. My daughter however used to love it and would have 2 bottles a day now she will only have 3oz twice a day so we had to find a way to get some more calcium into her.
When I was shopping on line the other day I was going to get the nesquick mix because that was what i used to have when I was younger and I stumbled accross asdas own brand on a special deal at £1 so I decided to invest in the two flavours chocolate and strawberry just incase she didnt like the one. So far this has gone down lovely she will have it slightly warm to go to bed and cold in a morning before her breakfast she also seems not to mind what flavour it is as long as it is not plain milk.
The bonus about this is that it is still filled with essensial nutrients that will benifit your child so they are getting that added health requirement.
I would recommed this to anyone with children or who is not keen on milk themselves it tastes nice and is cheap you cant go wrong.
The product I will now review is "Asda's banana flavour milkshake mix, with added vitamins".
Anyone with children know that it is recommended that children should consume at least half a pint of milk a day, to top up their calcium intake, this can also be topped up with things like cheese, yoghurts and some green leafy vegetables.
If you have children like mine, you will also be aware of how difficult it can be, to get them to eat anything even resembling "healthy" food.
My daughter has a particular aversion to yoghurts, so I feel needs to be encouraged slightly more than my son, who in fairness eats so much dairy, he gets quite milk bound!!
My way around this is to encourage a glass of milkshake and a biscuit for supper, mixing the healthy with a little bribery in the form of biscuits!!
The packaging (in the case of the banana flavour), is a bright yellow cardboard rectangle, with large paler yellow swirls across the front, in the centre is a large picture of a glass of banana milkshake, frothy and inviting and topped off with straw for the child factor.
Above the picture is " Banana flavour milkshake mix", in funky blue coloured writing.
The lid is again yellow and plastic, under the lid the milkshake powder is sealed into the box with a gold film of foil.
I do have a gripe about the foil inner lid though, for some reason it doesn't have a pull tag, so is not particularly easy to remove, I usually take a pair of scissors to it and snip around it, this does however leave it will a jagged edge, no matter how carefully I cut it, and with it being foil, it does tend to be a bit sharp, so when spooning out the remnants at the bottom can actually slice your hand.
The powder comes almost to the top of the box, which is reassuring, some products under fill their boxes, so you don't always feel like your getting your money's worth.
The milkshake mix is not a fine powder, it is more like a fine crumble mix, and of course yellow in colour, not bright yellow though, so you don't look at it and think it is full of additives.
The mix smells lovely and is quite strong on opening the box, but obviously doesn't have a true banana smell, It reminds me more of the foam banana sweets you can get, delicious!
The "how to prepare" instructions are as follows - take one glass of cold milk, add 3-4 teaspoons of the banana milkshake powder and mix...... Easy peasy! If after you have put the powder into the mix, you whisk vigorously you get a lovely frothy mixture, which if my memory serves me, is very reminiscent of the shakes I got when I was a child, delicious!
The taste is very sweet and again very much like foam banana sweets. My children have a truly disgusting habit which involves them having one spoon for the milk, then one spoon for their mouths, they could eat a whole tub this way, I'm sure!!
This product attracted me initially by the price but secondly by the added vitamins, not only are my children benefiting from the calcium in the milk, but from the many, many vitamins and minerals added to the mix, these include -
Vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B6, which for anyone that read my previous reviews will be aware that these are used for some of the building blocks of life.
These vitamins cover formation of red blood cells and regeneration of cells through to promoting good muscle tone and healthy skin and hair, these vitamins (B vitamins), are recommended to be taken together as they seem to be more effective that way!
Vitamin A - (beta carotene), helps with the growth and repair of tissues and maintains skin quality, also a diet rich in beta carotene supposedly reduces the risk of contracting certain types of cancer, (lung and oral).
Vitamin C helps to maintain healthy teeth, gums and bones. It also helps to prevent and treat the common cold, and finally aids absorption of iron.
Vitamin D is like many other "vitamins", it doesn't actually have a specific role, other than to encourage absorptions of other vitamins, this helps to absorb calcium from the vitamin C.
Per 20ml serving of mix in 200ml of semi-skimmed milk - 167 calories
7g protein
28g carbohydrates
28g of which sugars
3.0g fat
2.0g of which saturates.
These are available from Asda, (obviously!), and retail around the £1.10 range, which considering how many servings you can get from the one box is well the money. (A box lasts me two weeks, using the recommended amount of powder and serving two children once a day, did you get that!!)
The milkshake is also available in chocolate and strawberry and both are just as delicious.
Would I recommend this product.....yes I definitely would. Ok, so it is high in sugar content, but for a once a day treat I think the positives outweigh the negatives, the added minerals and vitamins are such a boost to my children's diet. My children, or at least my son is rather a picky eater, so even though I know these added vitamins are no competition for the real deal, it is a welcome second best!
Thanks for reading x

Bullpen hiccup sours Angels' comeback bid
ANAHEIM -- It would've been a big win for an Angels team that badly needed one -- in the home opener, after dropping four of their first six games and hours after finding out they'd be without their ace for at least a month. C.J. Wilson had bounced back from a catastrophic first inning and the Angels had erased a four-run deficit late, looking primed for a statement victory against the streaking A's.
But Kevin Jepsen couldn't get those lefty hitters out.
The power right-hander gave up a three-run homer to pinch-hitter John Jaso and a two-run shot to Brandon Moss in the seventh, handing the A's a 9-5 victory in front of a desolate fan base at Angel Stadium.
"It's part of the game," Jepsen said. "That's kind of how I pitch -- I go and I attack guys. They know that, I know that. You miss over the heart of the plate, big league hitters tend to make you pay for it."
The prevailing question postgame was: Why was he given a chance?
With a man on first, two outs and a 5-4 lead on the scoreboard, lefty Scott Downs paved the way for Jepsen because manager Mike Scioscia wanted him to face the right-handed-hitting Yoenis Cespedes. Jepsen walked Cespedes on a 3-2 fastball that just missed the inside part of the plate -- "One of those borderline pitches," Jepsen said -- and then stayed in the game when Jaso replaced the right-handed-hitting Derek Norris.
Lefty Sean Burnett was available, but he didn't start warming up until after Moss' homer three batters later. Scioscia wanted to save Burnett for the eighth, and he said the sage lefty couldn't pitch more than one inning because of a blister he acquired in Sunday's finale in Texas. The blister was underneath the nail of his left middle finger, but Burnett said it was "a one-day thing" and was not affecting him on Tuesday.
"[Jepsen] was the guy to get out of that inning," said Scioscia, who didn't really have Garrett Richards available because he'll move to the starting rotation in place of Jered Weaver (broken left elbow). "The issue was not only the seventh inning, but the eighth inning."
Jaso's splits are pretty drastic against lefties (.169/.305/.234 slash line) and righties (.271/.368/.421), which is why he wasn't in the lineup against the southpaw Wilson. Jepsen, meanwhile, has had better success against righties (.297/.377/.384) than lefties (.241/.302/.315).
"When Jeppy's throwing like he can," Scioscia contested, "he can match up with anybody."
But he wasn't in that backbreaking seventh inning. Jepsen left a 95-mph fastball chest-high to Jaso, who hit it off the top and over the short wall in right field. Then, after giving up a single to Josh Donaldson, Jepsen threw Moss a 93-mph fastball over the middle of the plate, resulting in a two-run shot over the right-center-field scoreboard.
"We feel like we always have a chance to come back," said A's manager Bob Melvin, whose club has won six straight. "We keep grinding through the whole thing and sometimes you come up with games like that."
The game saw the Angels go scoreless in the first despite loading the bases with none out. It saw Albert Pujols get doubled up at first base in the third after Cespedes ran down Josh Hamilton's shot in the left-center-field gap. It saw the A's commit two critical errors -- a dropped fly ball by right fielder Chris Young and a booted grounder by shortstop Jed Lowrie -- in a three-run sixth inning that temporarily put the Angels ahead.
And it saw Wilson make quite the improbable comeback.
In the first, he allowed three runs, walked three batters, threw 43 pitches and prompted long reliever Jerome Williams to get up in the bullpen. To lead off the second, he gave up a homer to Coco Crisp and began hearing faint boos from the announced sellout crowd of 44,014.
Then suddenly he got in a groove, retiring 15 of the next 17 hitters he faced -- seven on strikeouts -- to get through six innings and keep his team in the game.
By the time the sixth inning finished, Wilson was lining up for the win.
Three innings later, the 32-year-old left-hander was reflecting on the Angels' fifth loss in seven games -- for a team that won't have Weaver for four to six weeks and badly needed a better April after a 6-14 start last season.
"It's funny, because last year when we lost, it was because we got shut out," Wilson said. "Early in the season, it seemed like we gave up a bunch of runs in the first couple innings and then we just didn't score at all. The offense is actually a lot more productive this year than it was last year, so you have to give credit to them to battle back and take the lead. But at the same time, it's a team sport, and we feel like we're definitely not hitting on all cylinders right now."

Looking for new ways to keep your little ones entertained at home?
How about creating a wonderland of fun for your kids with these inspired play equipment ideas? From cubby houses to teepee tents and more, there's something to suite any backyard.
There's nothing more charming than a cubby house in the garden, especially one that is made of authentic panelled wood. Cubbies are a great way to develop imaginative play, plus, a cubby house gives your little ones somewhere they can have fun with their siblings and friends, away from your adult world. Today's cubby houses are stylish and sweet with picket fences, chimneys and colour schemes you wish you had for your life-size house. Check out climbingframes.net.au
A magical play tent is seriously cool! Sized just for little people, with mesh peek-a-boo windows and made from colourful polyester, a tepee tent is a secret indoor play haven where your child can invite their friends and favourite toys to hang out. And the best bit? It can be folded up and put away after they've finished playing. Check out the pretty Haba Rose tent and funky Haba Dragon Cave play tent at That's MyToy

Galco Combat Master Holster for CZ-75B
I decided it was time to pick up decent holster as the only one I had was a cheap Uncle Mikes nylon that's kept clipped to the bed rail. While the UM nylon does fine for that, it has a few problems. Namely it's positioned low and seems like the pistol is way off the body and has a rather loose fit. I wanted something just for the range, knocking around the woods, and just general use.
The main criteria were
1. < $100
2. leather construction -- just didn't care for the idea of a hard piece of plastic poking me in the back
3. high ride
4. retention strap
The Galco had everything but the retention strap for well under budget.
An order was placed to "Packing Heat Leather," and it arrived withing 3 days.
After about one month of usage I've been quite pleased. Shows very little wear, aside from a few breaking in creases, bends and wear marks. Even without a strap, it's kept the sidearm securely in place during shooting excursions, some light hiking through brush, and rolling/crawling around on the floor for some DIY home improvement.
Only noticed two issues. One is that the belt slots are for 1 3/4" belts. Mine is a 1 1/2." This means there is some minor, very minor, play when drawing. The other is the mouth collapsing after the sidearm is out. Pretty common, and not really a big deal as the muzzle will still go in, just a bit harder to find. I mainly posted this because I searched several forums and could not find any individual reviews despite it being a fairly popular item.
Overall I give a thumbs up to Galco and Packing Heat Leather.

Hello World! I'll start this article with a question, "Are your dreams consumed by your Doubts?"
I ask you to read this article with an open and clear understanding of your personal worries, fears, qualms, uncertainties or what choice of reservations you choose as doubts! The goal I desire to achieve within the few words you read is this, "Allowing the energy within your doubts to fuel the accomplishment of your dreams!"
Energy is exerted in many different ways as both a negative and positive expense! Every thought you conceive has the opportunity to breathe. Those thoughts may breathe life into the behaviors that cause the energy you evoke as negative or positive. For example, you may be tired, unsocial and reclusive within your personal behavior! Those are energy expenditures of doubt. The operative word within the previous sentence was "expenditures!" If your mind and body are capable of spending precious moments of negative energy on doubt, imagine transferring that same expense to a positive state of mind. The physical effort alone will lead to a positive prospect.
For those of you who have a perfectionist mentality, and often fall short of pursuing your goals because your results are not flawless. Please take heed to the following! Your personal idea of perfection may be higher then those who will either patronize your work or follow your services. Thus the customers you desire to target are deprived because of your personal doubts.
Your dreams have enough energy to challenge any negative thought your doubts will produce! When you are experiencing a moment when your behavior and decisions can alter your life, for the better, use whatever energy within you to move forward. You may be pessimistic, you may be insecure, and there may even be challenging persons around you with adverse banter and decorum. Take that energy and use it in a transverse fashion!
Trust that all you strive to accomplish will come true! I know this for a fact as I have blossomed within the mentality of allowing my dreams to become a pursuit! I regards to short comings and insecurities, I have never known my biological mother, while living with my biological father he was addicted to drugs and as a result of that, I grew up as a depended of the state of California in foster care.
I discuss that aspect of my life because it is no longer a negative; I have transformed those issues to positive experiences, which give me the energy to accomplish my dreams. From a cliché standpoint, "I am only human" yet my abilities as a human allow me to have limitless dreams! And the common doubts within me grant me more energy when I am in need!
