Meet Molly- mother of 4 and amateur demolisher of food:
And meet Molly's unthinkable combatant- the Great Divide Burger Challenge at Gronk's in Superior Wisconsin:
6 1lb burgers with cheese, on a ginormous bun, plus 2 pounds of fries.
2 people have 2 hours to eat this burger as a team to best the challenge. It has NEVER been accomplished. Until Molly decided to try it...ON HER OWN! And since I'm making such a big deal out of this, you can probably picture what happened. Oh wait, no you cannot. Not only did she finish it, she did it in an unthinkable amount of time. This video is unreal!
Watch Molly Destroy the Great Divide Challenge in LESS THAN 8 MINUTES!
Afterwards, Molly was given a championship shirt, her picture was placed on the wall of fame, and she signed the big table at Gronk's. Her signature says it all...
If anyone, anywhere thinks they have found an eating challenge worthy of her appetite, please let me know.

My Advice, Run While You Can!
I'm a runner. I may not be the fastest or the best runner, but I am a runner. I'm a "new" runner too. Avoiding running most of my life, I started running early last year on a fluke after being challenged on a long hike with my daughter. I ended up falling in love with it, much to my surprise, and last spring, summer and fall, running got me through the seasons feeling less stressed and healthier. I'm an outdoors runner and will run on pavement but enjoy running through trails and the woods more. Once winter hit and I stopped running, I rather quickly felt it was harder to work through my stress and felt a few pounds pack on without the regular exercise. I grew impatient looking at the calender and wishing for February and March to approach. Unfortunately, this winter was harder than I expected. Snowier, colder and busier as I took on a new schedule at work and running felt out of reach almost. At the start of the year I decided I needed to set some running goals so I had something to look forward to and talked to my daughter about training to run in marathons this year.
Then three weeks ago I got into a car accident.
It was a minor accident, but my leg was caught between the accelerator and part of the vehicle and my ankle was severely sprained. I've been in a walking boot ever since. My ankle is still swollen and continues to bruise on a regular basis. Every day it is hard to walk, let alone imagine running. I'm feeling extremely discouraged, almost depressed over the thought of not being able to follow through with my training to run my first 5K this summer. I know it is still early in the year and the weather isn't close to being cooperative enough to me getting outside on a regular basis, but I was hoping to start my training slowly in March.
I'm not close to thinking about rehab for my ankle,( the picture above is my ankle just a few days ago, gross, I know) but I have started to research how I'll be able to start out getting back to running form again as soon as my ankle starts to heal. Until then I'm just trying to contain the pain and keep the swelling down.
All the research is telling me NOT to push it. NOT to rush recovery and to take it one day at a time. Hard advice for someone who's impatient like me. :/
I'm not giving up. If I have to walk my first 5K I will, but I'd rather run it. My advice, if you enjoying running, do it while you can, because you never know when something could stop you.
Do you have any advice for me if you've ever been in my shoes...or walking boot? Can I come back from my injury?

Battlefield 3's Battlelog took notes from social media, Halo and COD
Battlefield 3 is very centered on the social networking Battlelog, so much so that the PC version relies on it. And while the service shares some passing similarities to the Autolog from EA's line of racing titles, DICE producer Patrick Loving says the team took cues from social networks and even their shooter competition.
"I looked at all social networks, from Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, to of course [Halo] Waypoint, [Call of Duty] Elite," Loving told Gamasutra. "We looked at everything. That's inspirational for me -- just finding out what other people do, and just sort of grabbing the good pieces out of it." He says they picked some of the common, popular elements to form the basis of Battlelog.
Meanwhile, setting up their own form of social network may help avoid some of the pitfalls from other games that have tried to integrate existing media tools in their games. "I don't think everyone would like to spam the Facebook feed with what they're doing in-game," he said. "But I think it fits perfectly into a branded social network such as Battlelog. So that was the key: people want to keep it within the Battlefield community. The friends you have on Facebook are probably not the same friends that you have on Battlelog."
As for the possibility of added features or integration into other EA shooters, Loving is very focused on the Battlefield 3 launch and iterating on it first. "I'm very happy with the features that we have, but of course we're going to keep adding stuff as we go along," he said. "I just want to see how people react to it, so that we can give the consumers what they want.

There are very few people I think I have genuine respect for in life. Larry David, Abraham Lincoln, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Selleck, Eric Church, Jon Taffer and Uncle Si in no particular order are probably at the top of my list. I should probably put my parents on there two for being the first two official stockholders in Strange Brew Incorporated. And I'll throw Mr. Feeny on that list even though he's not 'technically' a 'real' person if you get hung up on semantics. But my man Adam Lefkoe here just joined that list of prestige because this is the most epic thing I think I've ever watched in local TV news history. 31 old school wrestling references in one segment! 31! Probably took him longer to write this than it took Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence. But it was all worth it when his video went viral yesterday. The only problem for him now is how to top it. I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Wrestlecast! And yes I'm capitalizing 'Wrestlecast.' We learned in school to capitalize words that deserve respect. Read a book.
PS: My only gripe is Kent Spencer reporting on location with a complete goose egg in terms of wrestling references. Just out there reporting the news like he wants a real job in the future. Hey Kent! Wake up buddy! This is Wrestlecast! Grab you glove and get in the game.
Double PS: A sign of the times; Wrestlecast in 1960: You're fired! Wrestlecast in 2013: You won the internet!
Triple PS: Meow.

Stevie Nicks 'In Your Dreams' Doc To Premiere On October 7th
Monday, October 1, 2012
Stevie Nicks' documentary about the making of her recent album, In Your Dreams, will premiere on October 7th as part of the 35th Annual International Hampton's Film Festival in Sag Harbor, New York, according to Vintage Vinyl News. The doc, also titled, In Your Dreams, was co-directed by Nicks and her collaborator on the album, Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, and features "costume parties, joyous dinner feasts, tap dancing, fantasy creations, and revealing songwriting and recording sessions all of which are captured on film."
Nicks told us that she credits the cohesiveness of In Your Dreams to her co-producer and primary collaborator, Dave Stewart: "It was the best year of my life, and that's really the best thing I can say to you is that and I. . . He was at the Hollywood Bowl show and I dedicated 'Landslide' to him and I said, 'I just want you to know that this has been the best year of my life and Dave Stewart made that happen. Dave Stewart made the best year of Stevie Nicks' life happen.'"

My friend recently introduced me to a Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker called 'My Fitness Pal.' She swears by it and it allowed her to see exactly how many calories she was taking in. She said she was shocked because you think you don't eat as much as you really do.
Once you see the calorie intake you realize 'Woah! Maybe I should start watching what I eat and pay more attention.'
So I have been tracking my calories and exercise. It's also nice cause there is an app too. So you can keep track not only on your computer but also on your phone.

6 Bar Code Scanner Features To Consider For Asset Tracking
Many government departments and offices are turning to bar code scanners to replace manual data entry. By utilizing bar code technology, a user can enter data nearly 20 times faster and do so about 20,000 times more accurately. These numbers can be extremely important when it comes to tracking valuable assets that are purchased with grants or assets that have a dollar value that determines that they must be tracked. In most cases, once a grant is provided, the government office or department is tasked with tracking each item purchased by the grant in order to create accurate documentation to stay in compliance. In many cases when an audit turns out to be incorrect, it can result in lost grant opportunities or money owed.

Don't know if there is anyway to do this but would love to see something for Girl Scout..Sara was a Daisy, now she is a brownie..
Cruise kit would also be nice..
Don't know if there is anyway to do this but would love to see something for Girl Scout..Sara was a Daisy, now she is a brownie..
Cruise kit would also be nice..
Definitely a cruise kit! It could contain a lot of nautical that could also be used for patriotic themes like the 4th, etc.
Oh, I love swirled frames?? Is that what they are called?
and I am a brush-a-holic. I so love brushes!
My GDS Gallery
BRUSHES ... I echo that! Especially if they're swirlie brushes
Thank you for starting this thread! This will be useful.
"The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart." Author Unknown
I am also a fan of brushes now that I know how to use them. I love overlays too, you can never have enough to choose from. I am also looking for a kit that would coordinate with my county fair pictures, more specifically my pictures of the rides.
I'm with Maggie Mae---Cruise stuff would be great. My DH and 4 of our bestest friends will be cruising Alaska in July. I can't wait to go, and I can't wait to get back and scrapp all the pictures I plan to take!!!
Also, I know I'm probably so 90's, but I still love all the country stuff that was so popular then---barn reds, gray blues, and deep greens.Grunge them up and I will be forever happy!
I've got pics from our airplane ride and I was looking for some sort of "travel" themed goodies. The closest thing I found were Debra's ChooChoo stickers & elements. I need planes! I'll probably have this LO finished today with or without, but I've got lots more (and more in the future, I'm sure!), so I could definitely use something like this. Any takers?
Sorta on the same topic, I was also thinking that it would be cool to have some license plate stickers or embellishments. As cool as it would be to have a realistic looking tag, that may be too big of an undertaking for all 50 states! How about just a generic license plate with an alpha to write the state we want??
Forgive me, I'm just brainstorming out loud. If I had the slightest clue how to design anything, I'd give it a whirl!
License plate request has been heard ... shhhhh

Josh sometimes doesn't want to go out in favor of having more "screen time". One time he was with us and my in-laws and they asked if he wanted to stay longer and he said "I really want to go home and play on the xbox". He ended up staying longer anyway. But he hasn't played on the xbox in months and hasn't mentioned it since that day.
I'm honestly kind of glad he wants to spend less time with my in-laws. They are not really nice people and I don't think they have his best interests in mind. MIL told us she would come see him in his Lion King performance and that day she had a tiff with DH and she didn't come to see the show. He was looking for her the whole time. It was very sad.
Good luck with your appt. L!
Bridget, I agree with what Myles said about what your MIL said to you.

Are You A Nettle's Friend?
by Stephen Gascoigne
France, and the French, have attracted a lot of criticism in recent times. Remember the comment by George W Bush that they don't have a word for entrepreneur? There was also the accusation that they were 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys�, whatever they happen to be! Such comments were seen, in Europe at least, as the product of overzealous Americans who didn't understand the complexities of European politics and history. As a committed Francophile, I could ignore these words and rest in the conviction that France is God's country, a place of great beauty, with an elegant, aristocratic language and wonderful food.

LiveBlog: Oxfordshire flooding latest
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- There are major delays on Botley Road in the city this evening.
- Abingdon Road remains shut.
- The Seacourt Park and Ride has been closed by the floods.
- There are reports of major traffic disruption on some routes into the city.
- Properties on Osney Island are being handed sandbags this morning as river levels rise on the Thames.
- More rain will fall overnight.
- Train services between Oxford and Didcot Parkway may shut today.
Good morning. As with yesterday, we are closing this blog and launching a new one for Wednesday because it will be easier for people to load the new one.
Please click here for the new blog - it already has road closure and school closure updates in it.
Hithercroft Road, between Wallingford and South Moreton, is now closed due to flooding between the roundabout at Bosley Way on the edge of Wallingford and the junction with Anchor Lane at South Moreton.
Trains are still able to run between Oxford and Didcot tonight, despite flood water on the tracks in the Hinksey and Kennington area where the line runs alongside the Hinksey Stream, but due to severe speed restrictions some services are suffering delays of more than an hour.
The 8.20pm from London to Great Malvern via Oxford and the Cotswold Line was running about 65 minutes late. First Great Western said the train would be terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill as a result.
FGW trains between Didcot Parkway and South Wales are still being diverted, with extended journey times, due to flood water blocking the line between Swindon and Bristol Parkway.
For the latest information, see FGW's JourneyCheck page or call 08457 484950.
Rain, rain, go away...
The Met Office's latest regional information on the weather tells us there are more opportunities for people to get out the umbrella ahead this week.
Wednesday will be breezy with isolated showers to the end of the day, then more prolonged, locally heavy rain will descend for a time in the evening.
There are also forecasts for bouts of rain on Thursday and Friday.
Will you get the bus into work tomorrow in Oxford? Or the train?
That is the advice from Oxford City Council this evening - echoing the thoughts of Oxfordshire County Council.
The city council said in a statement today: "Several key routes into the city are closed or affected by flooding, so please consider using public transport if travelling in and around Oxford to help ease traffic congestion in the city.
"Motorists are urged to drive very carefully through water and obey any road closed signs.
"A number of tow-paths are also closed and people are being urged to obey any warning or closure signs whether they are on roads or tow-paths."
The Environment Agency has sent out a fresh warning tonight about driving through flood water:
"If you're driving in areas affected by flooding, steer clear of flood water. 30cm of water will float your car."
Oxfordshire County Council has said tonight that it is considering opening the High Street in Oxford to all traffic.
An official said that the measure was "under review" but for the time being the road would remain buses-only.
The authority says that such a step usually only happens when both Abingdon Road and Botley Road are closed.
Given that one is shut and the other is at risk of closure, this cannot be far off the list of options for tomorrow.
There is likely to be further rainfall tonight, the Environment Agency says.
The Met Office is forecasting further rainfall tonight in the south-east and Wednesday night and into Thursday in parts of south-west England.
A spokesman said: "Communities are urged to prepare by checking their flood risk, signing up to free flood warnings and keeping an eye on the latest flood updates via the Environment Agency website and social media.
"Environment Agency teams continue to work around the clock checking and maintaining flood defences, clearing blockages in watercourses, deploying temporary defences, monitoring water levels and issuing flood warnings where necessary."
This is the current list of road closures for the county tonight:
- The Abingdon Road in Oxford from its junction with old Abingdon Road through to its junction with Northampton Road.
- Islip - Lower Road and Mill Road closed because of flooding. The route through the village is now via Kings Head Lane, which is under traffic signal control
London Lane, Ascott-under-Wychwood due to flooding
- Barford Road between Barford St John and Barford St Michael, in the area south of Banbury, closed due to flooding
- B478 at Playhatch, near Henley
- A417 at Challow - between Wantage and Faringdon - by Mellors Garage, due to flooding
- The road to Woodeaton village [north-east of Oxford] from B4027 to Elsfield/ Marston Junction
- Clifton Hampden to Long Wittenham (High Street), near Abingdon
- Wytham to Wolvercote road (under the A34 bridge)
- Kennington Road, Kennington by A34 slip road.
- The link road from A34 to South Hinksey village
- Binsey Lane, Oxford
- Tollgate Road at Culham Bridge in Culham
- West Hagbourne village near Didcot – York Road to Main Street
- North Moreton to Wallingford road
- B4016 Blewbury Road, East Hagbourne, near Didcot
- Minster Riding near the Old Swan Hotel near Minster Lovell
- Dry Lane, Crawley, near Witney
- A417 both ways closed due to accident and fallen power cables near B4001 New Road at East Challow, near Wantage
Around 2,800 sandbags have been dispatched by the county council, new figures show.
The bus gate on the High Street is currently closed, although this situation remains under constant review, the county council says.
As a result of the severe congestion in Oxford this evening due to flooding-related problems, including the closure of Abingdon Road, buses on route 3 from Rose Hill and route 5 from Blackbird Leys are terminating in the city centre instead of the railway station.
Passengers travelling to and from the railway station should use buses on park-and-ride route 400 to make connections with routes 3 and 5 in Speedwell Street or High Street. Route 400 buses are turning round at the station, at the stop normally used by route 5, due to the closure of Seacourt park-and-ride centre.
Households and business in South Oxfordshire in need of sandbags due to an imminent threat of flooding can collect supplies from the car park at South Oxfordshire District Council's headquarters in Benson Lane, Crowmarsh, and at Kings Road car park in Henley.
Council staff are delivering sandbags directly to properties in the district deemed at high risk of flooding and to vulnerable residents.
To add to the roads misery, the A417 near East Challow - close to Wantage - is closed tonight after a collision and fallen cables.
Officials are urging people to think about using buses or trains to get into Oxford tomorrow.
The warning comes in the wake of serious disruption today caused by the floods.
The closure of Abingdon Road and of the Seacourt park and ride has seen serious delays for motorists.
Oxpens Road, Banbury Road and some other routes have also been affected by traffic jams this evening.
The county council took to Twitter this evening to make a plea to residents - despite serious disruption to bus services today and delays on the trains.
"Please consider using public transport tomorrow into Oxford to help ease traffic congestion in the city," the council said.
Bin collections in South Oxfordshire have been badly disrupted.
The area's district council said this evening: "Road closures have severely delayed bin lorries. If your bin wasn't emptied, please leave it out again tomorrow."
Stagecoach has said buses are still being badly affected tonight.
Some services are still running approximately 30 to 35 minutes late.
Beleaguered passengers standing at bus stops in the city tonight should perhaps buy a paper.

Those reports about temporary toilets near Weirs Lane - an area near the flood-shut Abingdon Road in Oxford - were correct.
Oxford City Council has just tweeted to say: "We've installed temporary toilets at Canning Crescent and Peel Place off Abingdon Road as drains overflowing."
Abingdon Road in Oxford remains shut tonight. However, there have been reports of vehicles still trying to get down the road - and of stranded vehicles having to be towed away.
The county council says this is "irresponsible".
The road is shut from its junction with old Abingdon Road through to its junction with Northampton Road.
This includes Weirs Lane.
A county council statement tonight says: "Some motorists have been ignoring this closure. This is irresponsible. The closure is for the safety of motorists and nearby residents, whose properties suffer from the effects of bow waves from passing vehicles."
There are reports this evening that temporary toilets have been set up in Canning Crescent - off flood-affected Weirs Lane in the city - due to overflowing drains.
Motorists having trouble coming into town earlier were in for trouble if they decided to park at the retail centre off Botley Road on which PC World is based.
This poster served as a clear warning:
This impressive shot of Wallingford bridge was captured by Karl Mitchell-Shead who took it using a DJIF550 Hexcopter from 200ft.
Oxford Mail reader Philip said: "Just cycled from Cowley Road to Jericho.
"Cowley Road and the Plain are virtually at a standstill; the High Street IS a standstill - amazing.
"It is a car park - engines off, nose to tail, stationary. People should avoid at all possible costs!"
The Environment Agency has issued a flood warning for the River Thames in the Wolvercote area.
It said: "The River Thames has been rising steadily over the last couple of days. Levels are continuing to rise and will get very close to property flooding in the next 24 hours in the Wolvercote area.
"Levels will continue to rise for the next 24 hours, and are currently forecast to be similar to the levels seen just over a year ago during November and December 2012."
Whatever happens, flood experts say things need to get better in the long-term.
Peter Rawcliffe, of Oxford Flood Alliance, said: "There is a general consensus that Oxford needs better flood defences than it has got."
Botley Road could close at any time, officials say.
David Nimmo Smith, the councillor in charge of transport in the county, said river levels were rising and Botley Road could be closed if officers decided it was no longer safe to use.
He said: "I am aware it is very high up on the list of roads that could be closed."
The Environment Agency has said flood levels in Oxford are expected to peak tomorrow.
A spokesman said levels were then expected to drop off, depending on the amount of rain which then falls on the county.
Major delays being reported throughout Oxford this evening with motorists saying it has taken them over an hour and a half to get from the city centre to Botley
First Great Western has tweeted: "Lines are open between Radley & Oxford, Speed restrictions in place in the Oxford Area which could cause delays of up to 15 mins."
There are major delays on Botley Road in the city tonight.
Oxfordshire County Council is warning motorists their journey home tonight will take longer than usual.
Botley Road remains open, but there is flooding near the McDonald's.
The Mail has been told it is taking up to 90 minutes to get through the traffic from the station to McDonald's.
In a statement, the council said this afternoon: "In light of the closure of the Abingdon Road and difficult road conditions elsewhere, commuters are advised that their journey home is likely to take longer this evening and they should plan accordingly. Although the Botley Road is experiencing some flooding, it is currently expected to remain open through this evening's rush hour.
"The bus gate on the High Street is currently closed, although this situation remains under constant review."
Minster Riding, near the Old Swan & Minster Mill Hotel at Minster Lovell, and Dry Lane, between Crawley and Witney, have been closed due to flooding from the River Windrush.
Trains are still running from Oxford to Didcot Parkway but a number of coaches are on standby if the line has to close
Thames Travel said: "We are now able to operate through Sutton Courtenay via Drayton and Milton Park as usual, apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
"Delays continue on the X1/X32/X2/X39/X40 of up to 30 minutes due to the localised flooding within Oxford."
Another flood warning has been issued by The Environment Agency, for the River Thames at Clifton Hampden, Dorchester and Little Wittenham.
Oxfordshire County Council has just put out this statement: "In light of the closure of the Abingdon Road and difficult road conditions elsewhere, commuters are advised that their journey home is likely to take longer this evening and they should plan accordingly.
"Although the Botley Road is experiencing some flooding it is currently expected to remain open through this evening's rush hour.
"The bus gate on the High Street is currently closed although this situation remains under constant review. We urge people to stay in touch with the websites of local agencies and the Environment Agency as well as local media outlets for up to date travel information today and tomorrow."
Due to flooding blocking the line between Swindon and Bristol Parkway, trains between Didcot Parkway and South Wales are subject to delays and cancellations.
For the latest information, see First Great Western's JourneyCheck page or call 08457 484950.
Abingdon Mayor Sam Bowring says the Thames in the town is the highest she has ever seen it.
At St Helen's Wharf, the river has risen to the level of the road, while large areas of Abbey Meadows are now under water.
Ms Bowing said: "I think it will be unwise to try to travel by St Helen's Wharf in the next hour.
"I am usually the last person to panic, but my advice to people now is to start taking this very seriously."
These images show the scene there this afternoon.
Oxford City Council said it has about 2,000 sandbags left and "plenty" of sand and bags to be filled.
Spokeswoman Louisa Dean said plenty of bags are still available at Seacourt and Redbridge park and ride in Oxford.
Kennington Road has not escaped the flooding, as this picture from reader Chris White shows.
Pumping at Ferry Hinksey Road, Oxford appears to have reduce floodwaters and Osney Mead is now mostly clear.
A flood warning – meaning flooding is expected – has just been issued by The Environment Agency for the River Thames and tributaries at Sandford and Radley near Oxford.
Vale of White Horse District Council has now given out 2,000 sandbags to cope with flooding.
The council has said those in genuine need of sandbags can collect them from Cattle Market Car Park, next to the council offices at Abbey House, and from the B&Q car park, in Abingdon.
Flooding is affecting residents in Bullstake Close in the city.
The road off Botley Road is regularly affected by floods, given its proximity to the Bullstake Stream.
The Environment Agency has warned Oxfordshire residents to prepare for more flooding for the rest of the week.
They have said more unsettled weather over the next few days will see rain falling on already saturated ground increasing the chance of flooding.
Along the River Thames water levels remain high and continue to rise in response to the recent rainfall.
David Bedlington, regional flood risk manager for the Environment Agency, said: "The Environment Agency's incident rooms remain open, and our staff are working hard to provide up-to-the-minute information for the public, local authorities and emergency services.
"We continue to encourage the public in affected areas to remain vigilant, and to keep a close eye on media reports and weather forecasts. It is important to take extra care in deep or flowing water; do not take risks if you are unsure of the depth of the water or of any hidden hazards."
Nasim Madani tweeted this picture of the railway tracks between Oxford and Didcot Parkway
West Oxfordshire District Council says it is still filling sandbags and more than 2,500 have been given out in the district.
The council will deliver sandbags to elderly or disabled residents in the district.
To ask for a delivery and to arrange collection of ready-made sandbags from Witney for homes and businesses in West Oxfordshire, call 01993 861000 or in an emergency out of hours, call 0845 303 9706.

Reader Nigel, sent this picture, saying: "The Boat House at HR Wallingford, upstream of Wallingford Bridge. Note the top of the door to the Boat House just showing above the water."
Severe flood warnings have been issued in Dorset, but there are none in place for Oxfordshire.
Despite the damp spirits many are in, the flooding has brought with it a bit of fun. Could we call it a blitz spirit? These are two people all at sea on the junction between Abingdon Road and Weirs Lane in the city.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson is in Oxford today for a conference. He is facing fierce scrutiny from MPs about the nation's future flood defence budgets - although he says more money will be spent. The Mail will be speaking to him today.
There are reports from across the county of disruption - from businesses on Abingdon Road in Oxford who are losing money because roads are closed to people whose cars have become stranded in a water-logged car park in Abingdon.
The weather is improving this afternoon, but more rainfall is expected to fall overnight. The view from the Environment Agency is that most waterways will see levels continue to rise tonight and reach levels not seen since the winter of 2012.
About 100 sandbags left on two pallets at The Duke of Monmouth pub in Abingdon Road, Oxford at about 12.30pm were gone within 15 minutes, landlord Tony Jenkinson said. He's not sure if they're getting any more.
The railway line between Didcot Parkway and Oxford will close from about 2pm, National Rail has announced.
Trains have already been delayed by about 15 minutes between the stations because of flooding between Radley and Oxford.
The National Rail Enquiries website says: "Replacement buses will be provided, but these are likely to have journey times of at least an hour because of poor road conditions in the region."
B4016 Blewbury Road, East Hagbourne has closed, Oxfordshire County Council has announced.
West Oxfordshire District Council says it has issued 2,500 sandbags across its sites
First Great Western says the line between Oxford and Didcot Parkway may flood this afternoon.
A statement on its website says: "The latest estimate is that at 1pm today, the line will be unpassable by trains and we will not be able to operate services between Oxford and Didcot Parkway.
"Rail replacement services will be in operation, however, customers are advised that journey times to/from Oxford will be significantly extended as roads in the area are also affected by flooding.
"Customers are able to use Chiltern Services between London Marylebone, Bicester and Banbury."
Grandpont Nursery School and children's centre John Rice said it is closing this afternoon and all day tomorrow.
Mr Rice said: "We haven't had flooding in the school but we're concerned about the rising levels and access."

Reports of major delays on the A34 Northbound in Oxfordshire this morning, there is flooding on the left hand lane before the turn off for the ring road and a collision at the Chilton Interchange involving a lorry and three cars
Nicola Blackwood, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, has spoken to Environment Secretary Owen Paterson in Parliament yesterday about the flooding.
She said sewers could not cope with the flooding - and wants more pressure put on water companies to deal with it.
"My constituency has also flooded, which has led to one tragedy and widespread disruption and anxiety.
"I join the Secretary of State in paying tribute to the Environment Agency and the emergency services for their tireless work over the Christmas period.
"However, despite their ever-increasing water bills, my constituents are again facing foul water flooding from sewers that simply cannot cope with flooding.
"What is he doing to put pressure on water companies to be more prepared for flood events and to ensure that we prevent these very distressing incidents from recurring?"
Markings on the Osney Lock point out the highest level of the floods in 2003. This morning, the waters are nearing that point again.
With the Environment Agency warning that the Thames will continue to rise this week, that level may well be beaten.
One reader has taken a picture of this rather soggy-looking scene near the ringroad by the Redbridge Park and Ride.
"Somewhere in the middle of this lake just off the ringroad by Redbridge P&R there used to be a river," said tweeter Sally Copley.
Train disruption between Radley and Oxford will last until midnight, First Great Western says.
The firm says train services running through these stations may be delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised at short notice.

Oxfordshire County Council has just tweeted:
"Abingdon Road, Oxford is closed. It is flooded. Please do not drive down it for your own safety."
Sandbags are being put down this morning at houses on South Street on Osney Island.
The closure of the Seacourt Park and Ride on Botley Road was due to the flooding, the county council has confirmed.
Another picturesque scene from yesterday of the flooding.
This picture was sent in by Annette Taylor and shows the Thames at Abingdon.
The county council says Abingdon Road is still closed this morning.
There are reports that its closure is causing major disruption for some road-users this morning.
A number of tow-paths are also closed.
And the county council says people should obey any warning or closure signs, whether they are on roads or tow-paths.
Around 2,500 sandbags have been handed out by council officials.
The county and city council have deployed sandbag dumps in the city at Seacourt and Redbridge Park and Ride sites.
It is unclear what effect the closure this morning of the Seacourt site is having on this.
The county council says sand bag pallets have been delivered to the Duke of Monmouth public house on Abingdon Road and also South Hinksey Village (the farm opposite the village hall).
Bags have also been delivered to Henley (King's Road car park), Sutton Courtenay, Kennington and Dorchester.
The council says anyone living in an area liable to flood can collect bags as part of their preparations.
The Environment Agency says levels of the River Thames are continuing to rise and will continue to do so over the next "couple of days".
Dave Ferguson, a spokesman for the agency, said: "Anyone who lives near the river should be mindful that the river is very high."
There are also temporary barriers going up today at Osney at West Street - off Botley Road - along the river.
According to the Vale of White Horse Council website, a flood barrier was installed across the Kennington slip road from 7pm last night.
Officials say those in genuine need of sand bags in that area can collect them from Cattle Market Car Park, next to the Council offices at Abbey House, and from the B&Q car park, in Abingdon.
Abingdon's Rye Farm car park is currently flooded, so drivers are asked to avoid using Hales Meadow.
There are reports of serious disruption for some road-users getting into Oxford.
One motorist said he had been stuck in traffic for around 90 minutes as he tried to make it in from Charlbury and along the A44 into Oxford.
The National Rail Enquiries website is not reporting any further disruption to the trains in our area. We will keep you posted if and when reports come through of problems on the lines.
First Great Western has reported a problem caused by the flooding.
Owing to flooding between Radley and Oxford, it says trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines.
The firm says there are delays of up to 15 minutes.
Oxford-based John Dennehy is one resident to have been affected by the floods.
As the image he has sent us shows, the sandbags in place have not been able to stop all water from getting in.
It might seem gloomy and damp, but the flooding can also create some eye-catching scenes - as one reader shows.
Someone called Heidi - user name @MoreTea_vintage - has tweeted us this image of the water-logged Oatlands Recreation Ground at sunset.

A total of 12 flood warnings are in place for the following areas in the county:
- River Thames at Culham
- River Thames and tributaries at Kennington
- River Thames between Newbridge and Kings Lock above Oxford
- River Thames in Abingdon
- River Thames and tributaries in the Binsey, Osney and Osney Island areas in Oxford
- River Thame at Dorchester
- River Thames from Days Lock down to South Stoke
- River Windrush at Witney and Ducklington
- River Thames from Buscot Wick down to Shifford
- River Thames and tributaries at New Botley, New and North Hinksey and Grandpont in Oxford
- River Thames for Henley, Remenham, and Medmenham
- River Thames for Shiplake, Lower Shiplake and Wargrave
Flood warnings are in place in several parts of the county, as was the case yesterday.
Such warnings mean flooding is expected.
More importantly, it means householders and businesses near the river should take immediate precautions.
Stagecoach says some of its services have also been affected.
The firm says most services are currently running as near to normal as possible but the following services are affected:
- Route 2/2A - Due to a sewer collapse in Evans Lane, Kidlington it is unable to serve Evans Lane and Mill Street. Route 2A is diverting via the A4260 (Oxford/Banbury Road) and route 2 is running Grovelands - Banbury Road (A4260) - The Moors - High Street - Oxford Road (A4260). The 2 will be stopping on the opposite side of High Street compared to usual.
- Routes 16, 31 and 34 - Due to flooding, Abingdon Road is closed. Buses will run via Iffley Road instead but will pick up and set down at the normal stops in St Aldates.
As of this moment in time, the county council says there are no school closures today.
Oxford Bus Company services have been affected by the flooding - and there will be serious delays as a result.
The firm says its buses are unable to use Abingdon Road , or Seacourt park and ride and Evans Lane in Kidlington.
As a result, the following diversions are in place:
- cityX3/X13: diverting from Abingdon to Redbridge, Heyford Hill, Littlemore roundabout, Iffley Road, High Street to the city centre. Leaving Oxford, services will operate the same diversion in reverse.
city35: not serving Lower Kennington. Services are operating from Kennington along Bagley Wood Road, then Hinksey Hill, Heyford Hill, Littlemore roundabout, Iffley Road, High St to the city centre. Leaving Oxford, services will operate the same diversion in reverse. Redbridge is not being served by city35 in either direction.
park&ride300: from Redbridge to Heyford Hill, Littlemore roundabout, Iffley Road to the city centre. The reverse will apply for services operating from Oxford to Redbridge.
park&ride400: due to the closure of Seacourt park and ride, park&ride400 will not serve Seacourt. Services from Thornhill will terminate at the rail station.
city2: As a result of continuing floods and roadworks along Evans Lane, service 2A will operate via Oxford Road direct to Grovelands. Service 2 will operate via the Moors, High St and then Oxford Road en route to Oxford city.
The firm said in a statement: "Due to the considerable increased distance these diversions cover, services will be heavily delayed."
But motorists aiming to park and ride into town today will have issues.
Oxford City Council has closed Seacourt Park and Ride off the Botley Road due to flooding.
As well as road closures, flood signs have been installed at:
- Main Street - Clanfield
- Bloxham Rd – Banbury
- B4035 - Broughton Lane
- A361 at Fulbrook
- Merton to Islip road at Charlton-on-Otmoor
City council staff are on Ferry Hinksey Road off Botley Road in Oxford this morning as they continue to pump out water.
Since yesterday evening, more flood water has spread, taking it from the roundabout at Osney Mead to near to the Oxford Mail offices.
Some traffic is still coming down the road, but the road is officially shut.
The county council says West Oxford Primary School is still currently accessible from the Botley Road. The situation, the council says, will be monitored.
According to the latest available information from Oxfordshire County Council, the following roads are all shut because of the flooding:
- Abingdon Road closed at 7pm on Monday, January 6 from its junction with old Abingdon Road through to its junction with Northampton Road. This includes Weirs Lane. The council said it had managed to keep it partially open during the afternoon to allow some traffic through.
- Islip - Lower Road and Mill Road closed because of flooding. The route through the village is now via Kings Head Lane, which is under traffic signal control
London Lane, Ascott-under-Wychwood due to flooding
- Barford Road between Barford St John and Barford St Michael closed due to flooding
- B478 at Playhatch, near Henley
- A417 at Challow, by Mellors Garage, due to flooding
- Road to Woodeaton Village from B4027 to Elsfield/ Marston Junction
- Clifton Hampden to Long Wittenham (High Street)

- West Hagbourne Village – York Road to Main Street
What the Met Office describes as a yellow warning for rain is in place for today - so it's going to be wet and drizzly, at least for a time.
The forecast says that rain is likely to fall until lunchtime.
By 12pm, the outlook should brighten and ease over the rest of the day.
Bring a brolly - and some wellies.
The Met Office is predicting more rain today in the Oxford area.
The Environment Agency is warning this morning that Oxfordshire remains one of the areas most at risk in the country.
And officials there say the weather will remain poor in the coming days.
In a statement, the agency said: "Communities in Dorset, Oxfordshire, south Wiltshire, Hampshire and along the river Thames are being urged to remain prepared for more flooding today and the remainder of the week. More unsettled weather over the next few days will see rain falling on already saturated ground increasing the chance of flooding."
Staff from the agency are working flat out to tackle the flooding, though, the organisation said.
"Our teams continue to work around the clock checking and maintaining flood defences, clearing blockages in watercourses, deploying temporary defences, monitoring water levels and issuing flood warnings where necessary," said the statement.
More rain overnight has left many residents and businesses on red alert today over flooding in the county.
Overnight, forecasters were predicting 11mm of rainfall, and there are fears of what the latest downpour will do to both flooded areas and waterways already at capacity.
Today we will again bring you continuous updates from across the county.
If you are affected by the flooding, or if you have images of the flooding, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01865 425444.

Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 Angler
Great kayak for fishing calm waters. Not so great for choppy or sea water due to the leaking hatches and hatch design. This makes the kayak unseaworthy for longer trips. Full review
Old Town Predator 13
Excellent stable fishing platform. Overall a joy to fish out of. Very stable even with the seat in the high position. Easily maneuvered. Tons of dry storage area as well as rod storage via the center hatch. It comes with replaceable mounting inserts for your rod holders, fish finders etc. If you mess up or decide to change up your mounts you can just replace the insert and start over. This thing does catch some wind, so a rudder would probably be on the list if you paddle in wind often. The boat… Full review
Native Watercraft Manta Ray 14
The Native Manta Ray 14 is a high-quality fishing and touring kayak best suited for individuals looking for a watercraft capable of supporting extended paddling distances, fishing expeditions, and camping trips. The Native Watercraft Manta Ray 14' model is an excellent platform for serious kayakers who are looking for a platform that would support everything from fresh and saltwater fishing to extended trips requiring storage for camping equipment. The extended length, while adding weight, aids… Full review
Wilderness Systems Ride 135
Very stable, and the high seat is very comfortable. Love this thing. Bought it for fishing and just paddling down a local river. The high seat makes being in it all day very easy. It is stable enough that I stand in it all the time while fishing (even when floating down a river). It is very well built, have owned it over a year now with a lot of on the water time with no issues. And it is very easily accessorized. Has lots of room for storage with the rear gear area, also the front hatch. The… Full review
Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140
The Tarpon is a fast easy to paddle SOT that is at home in the small ponds and creeks of the Midwest, as well the surf and open ocean. It is a great platform for fishing or light touring and has plenty of storage. I have had my Tarpon for three years now and have paddled and fished out of it in creeks, small ponds, big lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. I have never had any issues with it, and it has performed great. I have paddled several other kayaks and the Tarpon is my favorite. Full review
Ocean Kayak Trident 13 Angler
A sit-on-top angling kayak that's awesome for freshwater and saltwater fishing! This kayak glides through the water! It gives you the ability to set a line out and troll while you paddle down stream or drop anchor and stand up and cast into the weeds for that big bite. The seat is perfectly comfy enough to paddle for numerous hours getting to your favorite spot and can be easily adjusted while sitting in it. It has adjustable foot peddles for tall or short people and the "mod pod" is a great exclusive… Full review
Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140
Great SOT kayak for touring the rudder is a must. Recommend for day tours and fishing. My partner and I first started kayaking with Tarpon 100 about 1 1/2 years ago. We loved kayaking and found the T100 lacking in something. We loved the Tarpon range for comfort so we upgraded to T140 with rudder. Although the T140 is much heavier than our old T100 we find it easy to load with two people. We regularly take the T140 out for day trips. There is ample room for storing and esky in the rear tankwell,… Full review
Heritage Kayaks Redfish 14
This is a great fishing kayak designed with an angler in mind. It has usable space, as well as storage for all your gear. Handles on both sides, and at both ends, help with mobility out of the water. Well, I had this kayak for close to 3 years. I bought it used, so it had a bit of oyster rash already on the bottom, but it was solid. The first thing you notice when you get in is how stable it is for such a long kayak. It has a wide beam, so using those floating docks isn't an issue. Once you start… Full review
Exo Surfetto sport
A sit on top play boat, that's what I was looking for when I found this. Short, narrow, and smooth bottom, that's what i was looking for. I bought this boat specifically for my grandson, I didn't think he was ready for a Dagger or Piranha play boat, and he liked the sit on top we already had so I started my search. Fortunately i didn't listen to the sales people at the local whitewater warehouse, "that kind of sit on top doesn't exist", "never heard of a sit on top play boat". Here it is, Short,… Full review

welcome (croeso) to events north wales
There's always something going on in North Wales, with events to suit all tastes - including those who like to taste. You can taste before you buy at Gwledd Conwy Feast, North Wales' biggest culinary event. And why not try downing a few oysters at the Anglesey Oyster & Welsh Produce Festival.

Heading for the shores? Surfers can enjoy watersports of the extreme variety and live music at Wakestock. Prefer something a bit more down to earth? Get your feet firmly on the ground and join one of the 21 walks featured in Prestatyn Walking Festival. Like to do things the old-fashioned way? Celebrate like a Victorian at Llandudno's Victorian Extravaganza, or go shopping medieval style – Conwy Honey Fair has been running for more than 700 years. Now that's a lot of honey.
Whatever you're into, take a look at our list of big events. You'll soon see what makes a visit to North Wales so... well, eventful.

Home ⋅ Christmas Cards & Photo Christmas Cards ⋅ Designs on the Back ⋅ 0 Photos ⋅ Flat Card
"This was very reasonably priced for the quality. It is a great gift for a family member. When working on my image, I was looking at how it looked in different colors, when I settled on the color I wanted I didn't realize the backing on it was black. Totally my mistake! The original color pattern I chose had a white background so I thought it was going to come that way. Next time I will pay closer attention. The pillow is beautiful but the photos do not look smooth since the pillow has a rougher texture. Again, totally my mistake as I didn't ask the question before hand so I can only blame myself. I thought it was going to be a smoother texture. All in all I am very happy with it and would order more, especially as grandparent/family/best friend gifts"
"I was pleasantly shocked by how clear the image is on this mug! i have seen other mugs from other manufacturers before and the quality was not great so i did not have high expectations. the image on this mug is crystal clear - i used a high quality resolution image from the photographer. in the past, i have been warned that sometimes such high resolution images might come back slightly pixelated - not this time - it is beautiful! i will absolutely order more!"
"Loved this baby shower invitation for my Daughter. She is very picky and we have been searching for months for one we all could agree one. This was thee ONE! Also ordered the sticker or tags to match. Was a little on the small side but still liked them!!"
"Loved that this invite included characters from this year's blockbusters, and was appropriate for boys and girls of various ages."
"I couldn't wait to see these cards! My parents 50th anniversary is such a special event that I wanted everything to be perfect, especially the invites. After placing the order, I panicked. Seeing reviews about bad envelopes sent my nerves reeling. The most perfectly packaged box arrived with the invites. Inside was exactly what I had hoped for! Beautifully printed, excellent quality, fantastic design. After taking a breath, I opened the envelopes. PERFECT! Not one bad envelope in the bunch! Hint: I used my computer's 'paint' program to increase photo resolution on my parent's 50 year old picture. I believe this is key to getting great photo quality. I highly recommend tiny prints and can't wait for the event!"

If you're the victim of gradual hearing loss it may surprise and dismay you when you discover how much of life you're missing and what ignoring the problem can cost you.
Imagine seeing that first flock of southbound geese announcing the approach of Fall and not hearing that familiar honk.
Photo credit: jemolesky from morguefile.com
How much fun would this situation be if you couldn't hear the child's baby sounds? High frequency hearing loss is most often the first to weaken and that means women and small children's voices are difficult to hear.
Photo credit: fmfm166 from morguefile.com
This wouldn't be quite the same without the sounds of the crackling fire.
Photo credit: Plume from morguefile.com
The reasons (read excuses) for delaying addressing a hearing loss problem are many: My ears work fine, people just mumble. I don't have the time/money. They make me look old. I can just turn up the TV. They're too much trouble, etc., etc. and in some cases they're legitimate reasons. However in most cases folks just don't understand how much a hearing loss negatively impacts their lives.
Jim Silvis says: Here are just a few of the things in my personal experience where a severe hearing loss forced me to negatively alter my lifestyle.
- I could no longer enjoy a TV show because even with the volume turned up to a level uncomfortable for anyone else to tolerate, I still couldn't understand the dialog; movies or videos were the same so I just didn't rent or go.
- Trying to follow a speaker in a large auditorium was next to impossible.
- My conversations were riddled with requests for people to repeat.
- Telephone conversations were an exercise in frustration.
- PA systems were indecipherable to me.
- When I tried to play my guitar and sing like I've done for many years, I couldn't hear myself or the instrument very clearly so I simply quit.
In an article on the Healthy Hearing website the subject is taken a step or two further:
Daily sounds
Do you ever realize how much of your everyday life depends on hearing? For example, waking up on time for work likely depends on your ability to hear your alarm clock go off each morning. Or what about being able to hear your kitchen timer alerting you that food is ready?
All of these sounds are integral parts of your daily life, and without the help of hearing aids it's possible to completely miss those noises. If you have a dog or cat at home, hearing loss may prevent you from hearing them bark or meow, which often indicates that they need to be fed, or that your dog needs to be taken outside.
Pronounced noises a severe hearing loss can miss loud sounds such as construction, an airplane or lawn mower, which could pose a safety concern in some situations.
Although it might seem nice to some people who would prefer to avoid these sounds, being able to hear a construction site or lawn mower will make you aware of your surroundings whether you are inside or out.
Can you think of an occupation where clear communication is of vital importance? Suppose a law enforcement officer raided the wrong address because he or she couldn't hear or understand the dispatcher accurately; or paramedics arrived at a wrong address, losing precious time, for the same reason. Perhaps you'd like to be on an airplane which was being guided by an Air Traffic Controller with hearing loss. What if a nurse misunderstood a medication order because she couldn't hear properly? That could be a disastrous experience!
These are just a fraction of the negative impacts hearing loss can produce in your life. Watch this blog for our next post on positive answers to hearing loss problems.
