Innovation has no limits, no barriers. Innovation is about creating or finding ideas, selecting, implementing and commercializing them. The process of innovation goes from idea generation, through validation test to final product or service. And this applies to any discipline: medicine, architecture, design… even cooking!
In the past few years, a new form of tourism focusing on the cuisine of your destination has emerged. Travelers are dedicated to locating local places to eat and are eager to experience exciting, culinary adventures.
Dinner in the Sky. Brussels, Belgium.
If something is not invented, it certainly would not be on planet Earth and would not be human. If you are brave and are not afraid of heights you may be able to enjoy this crazy experience. The restaurant serves a fun dinner for 22 people as it moves. Yes, as it moves and moves through the air.
The restaurant is located 50 meters above ground and is supported by a crane. Is it safe? The answer is a resounding yes.
The platform the restaurant is built on is also very special. It is designed to withstand 80 tons of weight. So if you eat a lot, don't worry. You can fatten up discretely on the platform. Dishes are made from a special material to keep food warm despite the wind and cold.
Once settled on the platform, you rise towards the sky and dine with the best view that only Dinner in the Sky can offer. Brussels is not the only place you'll find this amazing service, which can be rented for birthday parties, weddings and any other event you can think of. The company runs several tourist spots around the world, and has already been in Las Vegas, Berlin, Barcelona and other great cities.
The Red Sea Star restaurant is, so far, the only submarine bar in the world. Five meters below the surface and star-shaped, this restaurant is a paradise for customers who prefer seeing fish and seahorses instead of cars and buildings passing by when looking through the panoramic windows.
To get there you don't need to be a diver – simply walk down the 70 meters long bridge that connects the coast of the Israeli city of Eilat to the platform of the Star, which is actually a multi-purpose complex including bar, auditorium and much more.
The floor is made of real sand and covered by a transparent layer of epoxy, imparting the pleasant feeling of walking on wet sand. The chairs mimic jellyfish and octopuses and the design of the lamps is also inspired by marine life.
All tables are located next to large windows and all sorts of marine creatures can be seen, allowing the customers to experience the sea without getting wet, or what is called "dry dive".
A restaurant-plane that offers a dining experience combining American and Chinese food and atmosphere within an aircraft. "A380 In-Flight Kitchen" is entirely themed as if it were a plane, with its small windows, roof rack, trolley on board, flight attendants and even the striking division of classes in Economy Class, Business and First, with different services in each.
Although the experience can be interesting, some customers might find it uncomfortable because of the small space and the mass use of disposable dishes and cutlery, typical in aircraft.
Restaurant 11, Amsterdam. The Netherlands.
Located in the old Post Office in the city of Amsterdam, Restaurant 11, named 11 to honor the floor it is located on, offers one of the best views that can be seen in the city. Huge screens on the walls show pictures taking by diners in real time.
The 10 lower floors of the building belong to the Museum of Contemporary Art of Amsterdan. You wouldn't expect to find such an unusual restaurant on the top floor of the building. You have to make your way through a small, narrow hallway filled with graffiti to get to the elevator where an old music player can be heard. When you get to the 11th floor, you'll find yourself in a huge room divided into two rooms, a very high ceiling and surrounded by windows from which you can enjoy one of the best views of the city lights at night. The first room is the restaurant and brewery with about 200 seats for dinner. The second room is the dancefloor.
This restaurant is considered to be the first to offer a fully-automated service – no food is served by waiters. Payments are by credit card. Customers select and order their meal via a touch screen menu. Orders are prepared in the kitchen upstairs and, within a few minutes, dishes are delivered at the tables through a mechanical delivery system.
It looks very futuristic but is already a reality. Quick and simple, but missing a personal touch. Something halfway between self-service and a huge vending machine.
At the end of the day, some staff do work at the reastaurant… the only difference is that they don't carry out tasks such us taking orders, bringing dishes, billing, etc. The only thing they do is worry about the quality of the service, help customers with questions and prepare the food. The company has learnt that this service can improve the customer experience while simultaneously reducing costs by 40% to 50%.

Most new technologies are subject to intense scrutiny. After the early adopters give the "thumbs up" is when half-understood reports, new terms and jargon, and a normalcy bias start to contribute to certain misunderstandings. Once that happens, a concerted effort must be undertaken to dispel these myths. Let's blow away the fog in cloud communications so you can clearly approach your customers with the true benefits.
What Myths Infect the Fields of Security and Cloud Communications?
Some myths actually had a basis in truth before improvements in network and telecommunications equipment, but some never should have existed. No matter what their provenance, they're still illusions that must be exposed.
Myth: Cloud communications aren't as secure as premise-based systems.
Fact: Cloud communications must be secure in order to draw a customer base. Since cloud-based systems do nothing but deliver cloud-based services, they can make security a major focus. This is sufficient to the point where even those governed by regulations like healthcare or financial organizations can take advantage of cloud systems.
Myth: I don't actually have to do anything to protect cloud-based data.
Fact: From one extreme to another, some believe that their hand in protecting cloud-based data is nonexistent. While cloud communications providers have excellent security, your customers will still need to establish and maintain backups, engage in encryption where available, and understand current threats to best protect their data. With the right tools, you can help them do this.
Myth: Cloud communications can't deliver on voice quality.
Fact: This actually was true, once. Those who were in on the earliest days often found voice communications quality lagging in comparison to dedicated phone lines. However, thanks to advances in networking equipment and IP phones, many of the common issues already have systems devoted to counteracting them. Issues like jitter and packet loss that can impact call quality have been removed. This is a crucial myth to debunk for your customers who are skeptical of the voice quality of cloud communications.
Myth: Making a move to cloud communications will cause business downtime.
Fact: This actually can be an issue, if it's not done correctly. However, you can emphasize with your customers that if they work with a partner that can establish an onboarding strategy, they'll soon see that their chances of downtime fall through the floor.
We can help you help your customers get onboard the cloud communications train, leaving their security confusions behind. Contact us at D3UC today to learn about how to build your recurring revenue by white labeling cloud-based phone or unified communications services to your customers.

West Texas Turnaround | A Closer Look At Kyler Murray's Historic Night In Lubbock
Kyler Murray had a disastrous start in Lubbock on Saturday night, but the Heisman contender found his poise and then torched the Texas Tech defense in route to a 51-46 shootout win.
Two of Murray's first four passes were picked off, which not only electrified the tortilla-trowing West Texas crowd, but also put the Sooners in a 14-0 hole on the road. However, Texas Tech was about to learn the hard way that the most dangerous thing you can do in a football game is to put the ball in Kyler Murray's hands.
Finding his stride on Oklahoma's third possession, Murray led the Sooners to pay dirt by orchestrating a 75-yard drive that ended with a 16-yard touchdown pass to former high school teammate Lee Morris.
Lee Morris can't be stopped, Touchdown #Sooners! pic.twitter.com/9Ka3vcncoF

After throwing the two picks, Murray would lead the Sooners to touchdowns on seven of their next eleven possessions. He'd throw two more touchdowns on the night, and run for another, leaving a wake of West Texas destruction on the field.
"I didn't have to do anything," Lincoln Riley said about getting the quarterback going after the early turnover. "He was good. He's been in battles, he's a competitor, he's very confident in himself and when you really find out if somebody's confident in themselves is in an environment like this where everything's went wrong, place is rocking, and you got to find a way to get yourself back on track. I mean I just I knew he would. I could tell the look in his eye. He wasn't fazed a bit and I didn't have to say anything to him. I didn't help him much there early either. But I think he did a tremendous job, he fought for our team. Sometimes a guy can get a little gun shy when you have a start like that and he wasn't. He kept swinging, he ran the ball well, so he ran for 100 yards, threw it for 360, I mean he was awesome."
Finishing 20 of 35 passing, for 360 yards and three touchdowns, and rushing 11 times for an OU-career-high 100 yards (9.1 average) and another touchdown, Murray accounted for 460 yards of total offense and four touchdowns.
He became the first player in school history to throw for at least 300 yards and rush for at least 100 yards in a game while also setting school and Big 12 records with his eighth straight game of at least three touchdown passes.
Murray surpassed the previous record of seven straight games by former Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford, in his Heisman Trophy-winning season of 2008, and Texas Tech's Graham Harrell in 2007. His streak is tied for the fifth-longest nationally since 1996.
…I mean, you have kind of got to know me. I'm cool, calm, and that's the only way to be after you do something like that. You make two mistakes like that, especially in a hostile environment like this, they're going to feed off of what had happened. And I turned it around and I think I played pretty well from there on. So I hold myself to a higher standard and I just got to be better. – Kyler Murray
Murray's performance against Texas Tech is exactly what Oklahoma fans, and Big 12 defenses, have become accustomed to. He had thrown for at least 300 yards six times on the year and he's the first OU quarterback to pass for at least 350 yards in consecutive games since Landry Jones did so in 2012 (554 vs. West Virginia and 500 vs. Oklahoma State).
After throwing two early interceptions, Kyler Murray bounced back in a big way against Texas Tech.
3⃣6⃣0⃣ — Passing Yards
1⃣0⃣0⃣ — Rushing Yards
3⃣ — Passing Touchdowns
1⃣ — Rushing Touchdown#BoomerSooner pic.twitter.com/J9HXrI3PT8
— Sooner Gridiron (@soonergridiron) November 4, 2018
Outside of the first two possessions, Saturday night was just another day at the office for Kyler Murray. That's what makes him so dangerous, and it's absolutely what is keeping Oklahoma in the playoff hunt. Add to the fact that they can spot a team like Texas Tech (9th scoring offense in the nation) 14 points and still pull out a win on the road.
This is a dangerous Oklahoma offense because they have the most dangerous offensive player in the nation at the helm.

The little man always had a reaction to baby food that contained corn that I made him stop eating anything that had corn in it for a long time. When he got older I thought it was safe to introduce corn on the cob to him but he would not eat it. It is not because it is corn but because he started getting picky on food that he decides what he eats. And corn is not on that list, among a lot of other food as well. I don't force him to eat what he does not like, I leave him alone most of the time because he only balks at pressure and I hate arguments with him what with tantrums and all that. Anyway, the husband pressure cooked a few corn on the cob the other day and while he was doing it the little man kept on asking what his father was cooking. He was told it was corn and we thought that was that. Well, when the corn was ready he acted like he wanted some. He rarely asks for food (a problem that we are trying to correct) but he was looking at his father fixing to eat the corn on the cobs he had on his plate and he really looked like he wanted some so his father offered it to him and what do you know, he ate a whole corn on the cob with not a kernel left. To say his parents were amazed is an understatement, lol. He even asked for one more and ate that too. It was a great day indeed! We cheered him on and told him how he was doing great and he was happy about himself. I told the husband that he will have to offer more food to the little man because for some reason he eats the food that his father fixes whereas when I offer him anything I fix he says no anymore. I hope he will continue to eat food that he used to say no to because he needs all the nutrients as a growing boy.


An end to the lengthy arbitration process between Guyana and its eastern neighbour Suriname to delineate the maritime boundary between the two countries will pave the way for enhanced relations for both stakeholders.
The Head of State in his address to the Nation for the New Year said, "We are confident that in the New Year we will have a settlement of the maritime border dispute with Suriname which will not only lead to improved relations with that country but also facilitate the unencumbered harvesting of our offshore natural resources."
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rudy Insanally and Director General of the Ministry, Ambassador Elisabeth Harper was in Washington for the oral pleadings of both Guyana and Suriname which commenced on December 7 at the Organization of American States' (OAS) building.
The Head of State at a press conference early last month said that the issue with Guyana's neighbour must be settled with firmness but also with dignity so that both countries' peoples can move forward in friendship with enhanced prospects for development.
He said the arbitral process was sought by Guyana to bring to an end the differences between the two countries over the maritime boundary. The dispute has undermined efforts to develop the resources associated with those off-shore areas and a deprivation which poor countries cannot afford.
Suriname laid claim to a section of Guyana's territorial sea contending that the boundary in the continental shelf and the sea lies along a line originating at a point at No. 61 Village on the left bank of the Corentyne River and bearing 10 degrees east of true north.
Guyana in disagreement with this claim, initiated the arbitral proceedings against Suriname in February 2004 in accordance with the United Nations (UN) International Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The Tribunal will determine whether tribunal has jurisdiction to decide the merits of the issue and assuming the tribunal concludes that it does have jurisdiction it will then issue its award which will consist of a boundary line from the point on the coast where the sea meets the land at the international borders for a distance of 200 miles.
The award is binding on both States and it will constitute the internationally recognised maritime boundary between Guyana and Suriname which will have the consequence of permitting each State to exploit the resources on its respective side of the boundary lines.

43 Fossilized Dinosaur Eggs, China Road Workers Unearthed [PHOTOS + REPORT]
Travelers Today By Althea Serad
Updated: Apr 21, 2015 11:53 PM EDT
Fossilized Dinosaur Eggs China - 43 fossilised dinosaur eggs have been discovered by road workers laying a sewage pipe in the city centre of Heyuan in Guangdong province in south-east China.
According to Du Yanli, the director of the city's Dinosaur Museum, the fossilized dinosaur eggs from China ranged from 10 to 12 centimetres in diameter. The largest one measured more than 7 inches.
Yanli added that the fossilized dinosaur eggs, China, have been well preserved due to red sandstone beds in the area.
Nineteen of the 43 fossilized dinosaur eggs were fully intact, according to the South China Morning Post.
One worker reportedly tried to grab two of the rare fossils. However, he was stopped by authorities and wasn't able to flee with any of the eggs.
After the worker almost escaped with the fossilized dinosaur eggs, China, passers-by formed a human chain, protecting the site until police arrived to take the eggs for examination, according to the Daily Mail.
The People's Daily Online reports that the giant fossils were the first to be found in the city. They are now being studied by experts from the Heyuan Dinosaur Museum in order to determine what species of dinosaur they belonged to.
A 1.3 square kilometre dinosaur fossil and geological protected zone was set up in the area for additional scientific research and work had been halted in the meantime.
"There are fossilised dinosaur eggs everywhere in the red sandstone layer but they were never found because the city was built on top of the layers," said Yanli on the fossilized dinosaur eggs, China. "With the recent road and sewage system upgrade, the red sandstone layer is being exposed and has led to the discovery of the fossils."
Heyuan, the area where the fossilized dinosaur eggs, China had been found, has reportedly earned the nickname "Hometown of the Dinosaur in China" because more than 17,000 fragments of fossilized dinosaur eggs have been discovered since 1996
The Heyuan Museum has already received a Guinness World Record in 2004 for having the largest collection of dinosaur eggs in the world - 10,008, reported the Huffington Post.
The discovery of the fossilized dinosaur eggs, China this month is reportedly the first in the city center. According to Yanli, it may be possible that several other dinosaur remains can be found in sandstone beds around the city. He added that construction projects should be halted if these fossils are unearthed.

Pitti Uomo, the men's fashion showcase in Milan, brought out some of the biggest names in fashion and befitting a superstar roster, designers decided to go big or go Uomo.
Luxurious furs, voluminous capes, lustrous fabrics and outsized proportions were a few of the hallmarks of the fall 2013 season in Milan, as embodied by some of these high-powered, high fashion brands.
Prada went deceptively simple, but amped up the wattage with a palette rendered in Technicolor.
Vivienne Westwood referenced ninja-chic, though there's nothing stealth about these patterns.
The G in Gucci stood for gentleman, with a covetable collection for the suavest of men.
And even threw in some lace lingerie for kicks. While frilly, lace-trimmed boxers may not be for every man, they sure do cut an…intriguing figure.
With the weapons and warrior paint, one expected the models to go all Duncan MacLeod on each other. There can only be one!
Adding some much-needed and dashing diversity to Milan.
Dolce & Gabbana chose 82 men and boys from the streets and had them storm the runway at the end of their show, donning the Virgin Mother.
Can anyone explain why the Thom Browne models, sporting Scottish Highland garb, have French flags painted on their faces?
@The Real Mike in Asheville: They don't. If anything, those are Yugoslavian flags. The French flag has vertical blue, white, and red.
Wouldn't clothes look better if the models looked like they were the least bit happy to be wearing them, by smiling? Although, after seeing these designs, I guess I can understand why they have those "looks" on their faces.
@ncman: No, it's not a pageant.
hideously ugly clothes, made for people with too much money, worn by models who would look angelic in anything. why people don't burst out laughing at every model on the runway is beyond me.
@adam madam: Simply put, it's because it's an art show displaying colors, patterns, textiles, and form displayed in a method a designer chooses to express himself while still holding to the basic principles of balance with cohesiveness many artists and writers struggle with in every art piece they create. Chances are no one else on the planet will wear these particular clothes – so they are not "made for" anyone… they are made to be shown.
Your argument (pithy as it was) would be better suited for a ready-to-wear fashion show.
@ncman: Would you be happy wearing that crap?!? I think there was only one jacket that I would have been tempted to try on.
@dawster: thanks, sincerely, for schooling me. eloquently, too.
that still doesn't explain why the clothes shown here are consistently, hideously ugly.
hat-tip for the pithiness, though.
Next year, they might as well resurrect the polyester "leisure suits" from the 1970's. They couldn't be any uglier than these absurd collections, and at least had plenty of pockets.


You cannot tell when the urgent demand for money knocks at your door. To the worst it can happen at the time you are really broke and you have no coin to cater for the emergency. Borrowing money from money lending individuals and companies becomes a choice for many people. Selecting the cash check kansas city lender that you can deal with is also stressing because this industry is overwhelming with such service providers. If you are contemplating acquiring a loan very soon then you should not waste more time struggling with identifying the best lender because the tips are given here.
How much money the lender can give you is the first question to ask yourself. Depending with the lender the money borrowed by individuals differs. Without putting down the amount of cash you need from the lender then you will not know the amount to apply for. Once you are done in calculating the money you need for the emergency then you will need to consult more than two service providers so that you can know the one that gives the highest amount and go for it. Taking the money that is not going to sufficiently cover your cash needs then it will call for seeking for an additional loan from other lenders will make you waste a lot of time as you apply for the loan. You can discover about the Online cash advance loans Kansas City.
The loan application requirement is the following factor. What you will be asked for when applying for the installment loan is differs from the organization selected. More requirement by the money provider means that there is a possibility of not getting the loan if you don't provide all the requirements. Ensure to be open-minded when selecting these lenders and choose the one that has less loan requirement.
The other guide is the conditions of the loan. Many people find themselves in big trouble after signing for the loan without understanding the demands of the contract. Ensure you understand every line of the contract before you sign for the loan. Look for the lenders that can allow you to pay the money even before your payment deadline with no extra charge. More to that, know the penalty charged in case you exceed the final date of paying the loan.
Ask about the period you will be exempted from getting the loan. You may not be eligible for another loan immediately depending with the lender you choose. Go for the lender that has no break to borrowers.
The interest rate accruing from the loan. Some lenders have small interest rate while others have a huge interest rate. The interest rate should not be too high for you.

BEST NEW MUSIC: PROSPA - BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND
by Kurt Kroeber
Prospa, a young production duo out of the UK feel like they're throwing back to a time before they were even born. Harvey Blumler and Gosha Smith came into this world in the mid-nineties, a time when UK rave anthems were cementing the genre as something more than sweaty teens rolling in warehouses.
The Prodigy's "Firestarter" comes from 1996
Chemical Brothers dropped "Block Rockin' Beats" in 1997
... and Fatboy Slim unleashed You've Come A Long Way Baby in 1998.
This is where legends were made guitars were systematically put out to slaughter.
Right in the midst of this renaissance, over in Leeds, two boys were born. And now, they're apparently trying to bring it all back. Prospa's "Back To The Motherland" is as close to a rave anthem as anything I've heard all year with some deeply funky acid bass, breakbeat drums that won't quit and a vocal sample that feels distinctly retro, but not in any kind of derivative way.
PROSPA - BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND
If Disclosure can bring garage to the masses, maybe breaks is next. Prospa might just be the men to shepard in one of my favorite sub-genres of dance music with a new fresh sheen. With acts like Skrillex and Jauz bringing breaks to the mainstage, and The Funk Hunters/Christian Martin representing the underground, the world is ready for a breakbeats superstar. Could Prospa be the one?
If their other singles, "Get That", "Intended" and "Prayer" are any indication… yes.
Annie Mac brought the duo on for her monthly mix series and featured "Prayer" as "Hottest Record in the World." Pete Tong dubbed them "Future Stars." DJ Seinfeld hopped on remix duties to turn "Prayer" into an instant lofi classic of his own. And Fatboy Slim himself booked Prospa to play his Warehouse Project night in December alongside Eats Everything and Melé. That's some major backing right there.
Looks like I'm not the only one who sees a bright future for these boys.
From deep within the murky depths of the Los Angeles River emerged a creature: 50% raver, 50% comedian, 10% Robotcop. Kurt Kroeber doesn't own a dog, operates Soundbleed (the world's only dance party comedy talk show rave), and is down to party with you. Come up some time and say "Hey dude!" But definitely make sure to casually drop the secret Illuminati password.


If you are convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in the State of Georgia for your 3rd offense within 10 years, based on the dates of your previous DUI arrests, you face punishment as a High and Aggravated Misdemeanor.
Traditionally, DUI is a misdemeanor charge, which subjects you to up to $1000 fine and up to 12 months in jail (in addition to the other requirements discussed below and elsewhere on this site). However, as a High and Aggravated misdemeanor, you face between $1000 and $5000 in fines (and court costs, which tend to be 15-25% more), and 120 days to 12 months imprisonment, at least 15 days of which MUST be served.
Additionally, you must complete at least 240 hours (30 days) of Community Service, and the DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program. You must also submit to a clinical evaluation for drug or alcohol abuse, and submit to any treatment recommended by that evaluation as a part of your sentence.
You will be placed on probation for 12 months, less any time you spend in jail, and your vehicle is subject to forfeiture. You face a five (5) year license suspension, ignition interlock, confiscation of your license plate, and only after 24 months and the completion of certain conditions are you eligible for a probationary license. There may also be some additional conditions or consequences based on your particular situation.
According to our top-rated Canton DUI Attorney Michael Vereen III, if these convictions occur when you are under 21 or when driving a commercial vehicle, your potential penalties and license implications may be more severe than those discussed above.


Danielle Deckard shares sweet new track "Honey"
Puns aside, Danielle Deckard's latest offering is very very sweet. "Honey" has some smooth and soulful vocals, breezy guitars that wouldn't sound out of place in a Dire Straights album and some memorable lyrics that'll have you singing them for days after playing.
The Australian multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter is a very talented musician, with nods to chilled out 1980's American ballads and strong arrangements I'm sure you'll be hearing from Danielle again!

Crazy day on Guanabara Bay
Fine racing for the 49ers but Lasers are becalmed and then blown off at Rio 2016
Monday August 15th 2016, Author: James Boyd, Location: Brazil
It was the most frustrating day so far for sailing at Rioa 2016, with the wind refusing to play fair on Guanabara Bay. After sitting around for most of the day in next to no wind, the ten finalists for the Women's Laser Radial Medal Race were released from the shore just before 16:00 local time. At the time, the idea of wind arriving seemed inconceivable, but just ten minutes later the breeze had risen to a very pleasant 15 knots. Just five minutes after that, the wind was gusting in at over 30 knots and the waves were building up quickly. The race committee made the reluctant call to postpone the Medal Race until tomorrow.
The Men's Laser Medal Race will also be pushed back to the same day, which will make for a very busy afternoon's entertainment as the Finns and Nacra 17s are also set to decide their medals.
The 470 Men's and Women's fleets didn't manage any racing in the Bay as they waited for wind, but when the big 16:00 buster arrived, boats were capsizing everywhere. There were sails shredded in the gusts and it will be a long evening for some crews making sure their boats are repaired and ready for the next day.
Team GBR's Hannah Mills explained: "We went out and it was nice winds and then 20-30 knots came in from behind. We managed to drop our main just in time in the waves and it was a pretty wacky ride in under jib! We waited all day with no wind inside the bay where we were meant to be racing, so we waited until the 49ers were finished to go on to their course and we were just about to crack on and the wind changed."
Out on the ocean courses the 49er Men and 49erFX Women enjoyed some great conditions, but for the Men's fleet it was a race to get back to the Marina da Gloria as the worst of the late afternoon gusts struck just as the last boats were crossing the finish line.
Of the abandoned Radial Medal Race, second placed Anne Marie Rindom (DEN) commented, "It was okay, no problems. Sailors are used to this. Sometimes we have days and days where we wait. It was no different today. Of course it was an important race that we had to sail today but it's okay. I think it was not a good decision to be sent out because we knew that the storm was coming and it was a good decision we didn't start.
"The wind was not only a little bit too much but it was also a bit shifty and we wouldn't have found the right winner today. They have all day tomorrow to do a race in 20 minutes so it's the right decision."
Britain's Alison Young said: "It was certainly eventful. It was a shame we didn't get racing in but I'm looking forward to a good Medal Race tomorrow. It was interesting. I managed to keep calm so we just get ready to go again tomorrow."
Tamara Echegoyen and Berta Betanzos (ESP) scored two bullets from today's three races on the Niterói course moving the reigning World Champions to the top of the scoreboard. Behind them are two former World Champion crews, Alex Maloney and Molly Meech (NZL) who are four points behind the Spanish in second, and Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (BRA) just one point behind the Kiwis in third overall.
Although previous overnight leaders Jena Hansen and Katja Salskov-Iversen (DEN) scored a second in the last race of the day, their earlier scores of 9,16 have hurt the Danish team, which is now fourth overall. However, the Danes are only nine points off the lead and there are still three more qualifying races scheduled for Tuesday before Thursday's Medal Race.
Echegoyen, the London 2012 Olympic Champion in women's match racing, commented: "We are very happy, we have sailed very well today. It was very important to be very open minded, to be able to adapt ourselves to what was happening. We were well prepared for today's three races, both in terms of understanding the conditions with our meteorologist and also regarding the tactics.
"In the two first races it was clear where to go, but the third one was really crazy and we just sailed with the wind shifts. It has been a good day, but also quite difficult, we have had to work a lot. These results give us the confidence to keep on going in this way. Now we are leading but we are all very close on points. Still three races and the Medal Race ahead, so we have to go step by step and keep on going."
Charlotte Dobson and Sophie Ainsworth enjoyed their best day on the water. In the 7-12 knots SSEerly on the Copacabana course, they started they day sixth overall, and an excellent second in the day's opening race followed by fifth and ninth placed finishes from their three races today has seen them move up a place to fifth overall, 13 points off bronze medal position.
Dobson said: "It was really good to get outside on the ocean today, we did three races really quick back-to-back so it was all a bit of a blur but it was a good solid day so I think we've got to be pretty happy. I'm happy with the series that we're building at the moment, we've had no big disasters so we're looking forward to tomorrow."
Ainsworth continued: "It was about giving ourselves the opportunity to go and attack tomorrow with no howlers so we're looking forward to the rest of the racing. It's just a case of executing the skills we know we have, getting clean off the start line and racing as well as we can and seeing where we end up at the end of the day."
Perhaps inspired by French gold and bronze in the Windsurfing the previous day, Julien d'Ortoli and Noe Delpech fired their way up the rankings into fourth place after mastering the Copacabana course with two firsts and a third place. This puts the French just two points behind the third-placed Australians, reigning Olympic Champions Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen.
In the building SE breeze of 8-12 knots on the Copacabana ocean course, the 49ers blitzed through their three races.
It was business as usual for the ever dominant Peter Burling and Blair Tuke (NZL) whose scores of 2,3,1 have opened up an 18-point lead over Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel (GER). Even if the gold is beginning to get away from the Germans, they do at least have a healthy 15-point lead over the Aussies, with just three qualifying races remaining before the Medal Race.
Burling said, "We're pleased with three low scores, the boat was going really fast. We had some beautiful conditions for racing but got hit by a massive squall on the way in. It was maybe 45 or 50 knots." Tuke added, "A south-west front came in and it went from 11 knots to more than 40 knots in the space of ten minutes." Even the four-time World Champions capsized in the storm-force conditions. "We struggled to stay upright just with the mast up. Some massive waves out there, just happy to be back on shore," said Burling, shivering and itching to get back to checking over the boat for any damage.
The Germans seemed to enjoy the mad ride in through the storm a little more than the Kiwis. "We ragged it quite fast on the way in," said Heil. "But what lucky timing. Just after the last guy came across the finish line, the breeze came in 130 degrees from the other side, and with massive force. Even with just the mast up and no sails, we still needed to get on the trapeze to stop the boat tipping over. We have some boat work to do, we have damaged the sails, we have to check the mast."
Noe Delpech was barely thinking about what a good day he'd had after getting ashore - just happy to be in one piece. "We had three good starts and are very happy with our speed and strategy today. But then there was the wind that arrived straight afterwards. We capsized many times. The mainsail went flying through the air and it fell in the water but our coach managed to save it before we lost it. We had a bad last hour on the water. The sails are not in great condition but I think we are OK mostly."
Delpech was pleased to have closed in on the podium, but like all Olympic sailors never likes to get ahead of himself. "We are two points behind the bronze medal position, so yes, for sure we can start thinking about the options to get a medal, but we have still three important races to do tomorrow. We just go race by race."
Team GBR's Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign moved within striking distance of the medals after enjoying their best day. They now sit in the top 10 for the first time in their regatta, moving from 13th overall to eighth, thanks to 5-6-9 scores today.
Sign said: "We found a bit more speed today and we are a little bit happier in how we are sailing in the boat so I think it's something to take forward to tomorrow, that we are not miles off the pace.
"Today was all about metres, so if you lost a couple of metres through boat handling errors then you were back in the pack a bit so that damaged us a little bit, but we are happy with how we were going through the water.
"We have three more races tomorrow and our aim is to again try to move up and have a consistent day. We have just got to keep working together as a team, if we are working well together that's when we will start pulling through the fleet or get top threes so we are going to aim to do that tomorrow."
In the first race, Fletcher and Sign enjoyed the perfect start, leading for the first half of the race before dropping a handful of places to cross the line in fifth. Consistency was the name of the game in race two as they held their position in sixth all the way around the course while race three was more of a battle, this time finishing in ninth.
Sign added: "Our aim today was just to be consistent. We knew we were quite good in those conditions, 12 knots and a bit of sea waves, so we just wanted to go out and enjoy it. It's a little bit easier out there on the ocean in those conditions where the wind is a little bit more consistent so we're happy with how we came out."
The Skiffs will have to work quickly with another three races scheduled for tomorrow which looks to be a busy day. The Laser, Laser Radial, Finn and Nacra 17 will all have their Medal Race due to the postponements from today.

PACIFIC OCEAN (Sept. 28, 2021) The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin (DDG 89) follows multinational force ships while conducting tactical maneuvers and naval formations during a training exercise as part of UNITAS LXII. UNITAS is the world's longest-running maritime exercise. Hosted this year by Peru, it brings together multinational forces from 20 countries and includes 32 ships, four submarines, and 26 aircraft conducting operations off the coast of Lima and in the jungles of Iquitos. The exercise trains forces to conduct joint maritime operations and focuses on strengthening partnerships and increasing interoperability and capability between participating naval and marine forces.

These sixty tempting recipes are a selection of the best from the tradition and include soda breads, potato and griddle breads, gur cake, porter cake, barm brack and Christmas cake, buttermilk scones, pancakes, puddings and oaten biscuits. They will delight visitors and Irish people alike. Details of customs, folklore and Irish regional food traditions provide a fascinating background to the recipes and forty charming illustrations complete the mix.

As a judge on The Great Irish Bake-Off, Biddy displayed her passion for great food that can be cooked by ordinary people in their own homes. Biddy died in 2017.

In my HEMA Blog Academy report, I mentioned that I attended another event the day before, and it was the Miss Etam en Promiss Fashion Feestje. (For the ones that are interested: Feestje is Dutch for party). I got picked up from the Zoetermeer train station, together with three other bloggers, and when we arrived at the Etam group head office, we were welcomed by the colorful balloons at the entrance.
On the left, there was a small bar where you could get a cup of coffee and a piece of Tony Chocolonely chocolate or a brownie. I ordered a cappuccino and it got a beautiful leaf shaped latte art on it. Some others got a cute heart shape.
While I waited for the fashion show to start, I munched on some delicious snacks: salted mixed nuts and fried seaweed snacks. I also chatted a bit with fellow blogger Ester from www.estrellaweb.nl, who I had met for the first time. I went there alone, so it was nice to meet a new blogger friend.
At the end of the event, I was also treated to a raspberry panna cotta (not pictured). It is the first time, I tried panna cotta and it had the texture of a vanilla pudding and the taste was similar to custard. It is very different from what I imagined from eating the Mona Panna Cotta pudding. But it could also be the custard version of the panna cotta, as it had a yellow color, whereas it should be white.
The Promiss and Miss Etam Fall/Winter 2014 fashion show was introduced by this woman in a beautiful, white wool sweater with delicate flower applications on the sleeves.
Underneath, you can already see some pictures of the upcoming Fall/Winter 2014 clothing and accessories from the two brands, Promiss and Miss Etam. I thought it was very special that they also invited some of their own customers to walk in the fashion show. They were all smiles and looked very at ease on the catwalk. You really couldn't tell that they were amateurs that got catwalk training right before the fashion show.
You will get to see more of the Promiss and Miss Etam Fall/Winter 2014 fashion show in the video that I am still working on. So keep an eye on my blog.
Update: you can find the video I made of the Miss Etam and Promiss fashion show here.


Normally, we can look at a triplet of this nature and assume where we can add intensity. Today the intensity will be spread out over 25mins, this drastically changes our approach. Rather than separating our three movements, we want to look at the entire workout, using what we learned last week about pacing we can look to round times, athletes should be dialing these into consistent round times across the 25mins. Trying to stay on track with round times over the whole workout does two things: It allows us to keep moving so that we are not going too hard out of the gate and crashing. It also allows us to have a focus during the workout, keeping athletes engaged, a simple concept but a challenge on longer workouts.


The success of our business depends upon the quality of our people. As a result we are always on the lookout for exceptional talent, particularly individuals with a strong desire to succeed in all that they do, and a passion for building relationships with clients and colleagues.

Q: Change the `list` attribute of an  in JavaScript Demo
Trying to change the input ID: List from A to B, but its not changing.
I am planning on creating many datalist with PHP from MySQL,
Select Company name, and see their employees in next list.

Thank you, its now working.
Working

A: According to the Mozilla Developer Network docs, the list attribute is read-only and actually returns a reference to a DOM element (like a <datalist>):

list [Read only]
HTMLElement object: Returns the element pointed by the list attribute.
  The property may be null if no HTML element found in the same tree.

Thus, you need to use setAttribute to set the list by id, and then use element.list.id to retrieve the correct value for check.

function change() {
  console.log("Started")
  var x = document.getElementById('A').value

  document.getElementById('List').setAttribute('list', x)

  var check = document.getElementById('List').list.id

  if (check === x) {

Beauty Solved
Finally coming down from the opening reception of Greg Simkins' "The Pearl Thief," and we really wanted to thank everyone who came out to support the show. Evolving with Greg since the first time he showed with us 5 years ago has been the most rewarding aspect of owning Gallery1988 for both Katie and I. Makes you wonder if good things really do happen to good people after all. The work from this new exhibit are stunning and you can see them all by CLICKING HERE. I really hope any of you that can make here to the gallery by November 22nd to see the pieces in person do so, because some of these have to be seen to be believed. And that includes...
(all pictures stolen from Arrested Motion, which you should visit to see more pics from last night)
Greg's largest piece ever, "The Pearl Thief," clocking in around the 8 foot mark. This is the most detailed, intense painting I have ever seen in person. I noticed people staring at it for easily over 30 minutes. The new proud, and envied, owner of this beauty, filmmaker Nick Cassavetes stopped by the show to see the final product in person, which was an awesome ending to the process of creating, and displaying, this monster. Here are a few more pictures of pieces in the show...
And onto the puzzle. So we created an art show puzzle last night, that had a few teams of people literally working the entire night in hopes of cracking. The person who solved the puzzle, travelled to a nearby destination then returned with the needed bounty to the gallery - got a free 5 x 5 inch painting from Greg. That is painting was this -
Listen, the painting wouldn't be cheap...so we weren't making it easy. The puzzle master would also have his/her name added into what we now call "Simkins Folklore," seeing their name pop up as the rescuer of Matt Riddle's dream in future pieces and writings. Which is awesome.
So anyway, we had a lot of people try - but about 4 teams worked the entire night. And one of the teams, puzzle masters from 42 Entertainment, came away victorious. Johnny "KMNDZ" Rodriguez and Mike Borys solved a puzzle that can't be easily explained, but I'll try. A majority of the pieces in the show had a number written below the price tag. Take that number and count the letters in that piece's title - to get the letter you need pull from that title. So if "6" was written under the tag, and the tag said the piece's title was "This Puzzle Is Hard," you'd pull a "U" out. BUT, it wasn't JUST that easy. We didn't give you 2 letters simply. For example, one tag was missing an "L" - it said "The Pear Thief," so it's a good idea to remember a missed "L." So, as I said we weren't making it easy. Once you have all the letters, it's a scramble. It would eventually spell out "Shamrock Social," the world renown Tattoo parlor on Sunset Blvd. When you went there, they handed you a special Pearl setting, and a note from Greg bringing you back to the gallery to claim the painting. Whew.
And it was solved in about 2-3 hours. Truth is having 42 Entertainment even attempt our puzzle is like asking Bono to listen to your demo. So it was an honor to even have them participate. Here's Johnny claiming his prize...
We hope to do this more often, because creating puzzles like this are really a passion for me and involving Greg was awesome.
So, please stop by before November 22nd and see this show. Cause after that...we're killing Vivisect. BLACK FRIDAY.

British Council response to UK net migration figures
Dr Jo Beall, British Council Director of Education and Society, said "It would be a great pity if the drop in net migration indicates a drop in genuine international students coming to the UK. We will not know the number of international students in the UK for 2011-12, until enrolment figures are released early next year, so it is too early to conclude that visa reforms have had an impact. There is no limit to the number of student visas universities with highly-trusted status can sponsor, so it is very disappointing that there is now a downturn in visa applications.
Genuine international students make a tremendous academic and cultural contribution to our educational institutions, and are also an important source of revenue. British Council research shows that the global market for international students is growing, and based on the UK's world class reputation for quality and excellence, the UK should be experiencing a growth in numbers over the next decade. It is vital that the most ambitious students continue to see the UK as the best destination for them to develop and share their skills, and build a life-long relationship with the UK. The British Council is committed to working with the government and institutions to ensure the message remains that the UK is open for business."
The British Council creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and builds trust between them worldwide. We are a Royal Charter charity, established as the UK 's international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations. Our 7000 staff in over 100 countries work with thousands of professionals and policy makers and millions of young people every year through English, arts, education and society programmes.
We earn over 75% of our annual turnover of nearly £700 million from services which customers pay for, education and development contracts we bid for and from partnerships. A UK Government grant provides the remaining 25%. We match every £1 of core public funding with over £3 earned in pursuit of our charitable purpose.

'I married a cannibal'
Voice Reporter | January 14, 2021
Heartthrob actor Armie Hammer has been exposed as a sick sex monster.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. star has been outed for sexting about his sexual preferences, including cannibalism, rape fetishes and BDSM.
BDSM stands for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism – and includes sexual role play, the use of whips, chains, and blindfolding.
Screenshots circulating online claim to show the actor speaking to women in a sexually domineering and violent manner.
Armie, 34, has not responded to the alleged messages, some of which are said to date from 2016 to last February, when he was still married to Elizabeth Chambers, 38.
They exes who split last July, have two children.
Elizabeth has reportedly said she is "shocked and sickened" by the direct messages (DMs) going around on social media.
And she is said to "believe the women coming forward" with explosive messages that fantasise about "rape and BDSM".
A source told DailyMail Elizabeth is in "complete shock", adding: "Armie appears to be a monster. A lot of these women have reached out to Elizabeth and although she didn't want to admit it to herself at first, she knows now they are speaking the truth."
In one of the leaked Instagram messages, he allegedly writes: "I am 100% cannibal. I want to eat you. F*** that's scary to admit. I've never admitted that before. (sic)"
Another text reads: "You just live to obey and be my slave.
"If I wanted to cut off one of your toes and keep it with me in my pocket so I always had a piece of you in my possession?" one text says.
The screenshots seem to have originated from multiple Instagram accounts.
Former love interest Jessica Ciencin Henriquez said anyone who questions the messages should start "questioning why we live in a culture willing to give abusers the benefit of the doubt instead of the victims".
Jessica, who was pictured out on a date with Hammer in August, wrote on Instagram: "It takes an army to hide a predator. Behind every abuser is a team of people working hard to cover up the trail."

Tales From The North Circular
Posted on July 28, 2013 by Chris Axon
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Chelsea : 20 October 2012.
On Friday evening, with the arid desert of the two week long international break thankfully behind us, I felt like an excitable five year old on Christmas Eve. We all remember that feeling. On any other night of the year, as a child, it was typical to eke out as much time in the evening as possible before it was time to head up to bed. I can well remember the glee when my parents relented after persistent pleading to have "ten more minutes" outside (to play football in the street usually, with light fading), before being herded inside and then taken upstairs to bed. Christmas Eve was different; get to bed early, try to get to sleep quickly, it will soon be Christmas Day, with presents and jollity and fun.
At 6.30am, the alarm sounded and, unlike weekdays, there was no need for me to utilize the snooze button.
This was Tottenham Away.
Bearing in mind the rivalry between the two clubs, the magnificent denouement to last season, which of course resulted in us elbowing Spurs out of the Champions League, and the added frisson of Andre Villas-Boas as Spurs' new manager, I regarded this as the most important away game of the domestic season.
At 8.15am, I had packed my match day essentials – ticket, wallet, camera, coffee – and I was on my way. Within a minute of driving through the misty village, I had disturbed some pigeons as they sat idling in the middle of the road. Feathers flew, but I didn't have time to check if there had been fatalities. I think they had a lucky escape. I wondered how we would fare with our feathered friends from Tottenham later in the day. Would the cockerels be quite so lucky?
The early morning was shrouded in mist as I headed east. As I drove along the quiet country roads to the north of Frome, a huge lock of birds suddenly appeared to my right. They swooped down and across my field of vision and the sight was rather impressive, if not slightly spooky. I let my imagination run away with me for a few seconds and I chuckled as I wondered if the pigeons had been in touch with the starlings after the incident five minutes earlier. As I drove on, I looked back and saw around twenty black birds sitting, ominously, on an electric wire, like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds."
I took a swig of coffee and told myself to pull myself together.
Pigeons, starlings, cockerels, Hitchcock.
What did it all mean?
Thankfully, the next hour or so was devoid of similar incidents. In fact, the drive through Somerset, into Wiltshire and on into Berkshire was simply fantastic. Back in my childhood, my father used to take this route on his drive up to London for our twice-a-season pilgrimage to Stamford Bridge. For games at White Hart lane, I usually drive into London and then take the tube up to Seven Sisters. For a change, I had decided to drive all the way in and chance my arm with a parking spot near the stadium. The first hour was spent driving along the idyllic roads of Wessex, through towns such as Devizes and Marlborough. While thoughts of previous games at White Hart Lane flitted in and out of my mind, all was good with the world.
Slender church spires piercing the monotone grey sky, prim thatched cottages hugging the road, trees peeking out over valleys of low-lying fog, delicate Turneresque smudges of light as the sun attempted to burn its way through the grey clouds, red brick farmhouses, the surreal lunar landscape of the chalk down lands, the first tints of autumn on beech trees and the dull purr of my tires on the road below.
As my little capsule of contentment headed east, I was happy with my lot.
And Chelsea's game at Tottenham was only a few hours away.
Seriously, what else are you going to do on a Saturday?
Typically, my mind wandered back to my youth; my first ever two visits to White Hart Lane during the early weeks of the 1986-1987 and 1987-1988 seasons.
In September 1986, I had a thoroughly enjoyable day out in N17. After a far from impressive start to the season, we travelled to White Hart Lane and triumphed 3-1. The weather was dreadful, I got drenched on that long walk back to Seven Sisters, but I was euphoric. Only five months earlier, my first ever visit to Old Trafford had resulted in a Chelsea win. Two debut wins at my most despised opponents' home stadia was just perfect. Although unmemorable in the main, 1986 at least provided me with those two excellent away days.
Less than a year later, we had got off to a flier with two wins from games against Sheffield Wednesday at home and Portsmouth away. The Chelsea hordes travelled in our thousands for this one. The attendance for the 1986 was just 28,000, but the 1987 one drew 37,000. I travelled up by train with Glenn and it felt like we were part of an invading army. We bought tickets (Glenn bought his from a tout) for seats in the upper tier of the Park Lane End and watched as our ranks were swelled with each passing minute. As I thought about the current limit of 3,000 away fans at all Premier League games, I became misty-eyed for those distant times. On that day in August 1987, I'd say that we probably had 10,000 fans at White Hart Lane. Those were the days my friend; for a moment, I was transported back in time. As kick-off approached and the terraced areas in front of our seats became swelled to capacity, there were calls by the Chelsea fans for the police and stewards to open up extra sections in the lower tier of The Shelf terrace, which ran along the side of the pitch and housed the Tottenham hardcore.
Eventually, an extra pen was given to the away fans. The Chelsea fans charged into the section, much to the chagrin of the Spurs fans above. It was all about territory in those days. It was all about how many you took to away games. It was all about numbers. These days, it's difficult to gauge the size of various clubs' travelling support because the limit is always 3,000. Back in those days, it was the size of our away "take" that was in many ways as important as the result on the pitch. In 1987, we travelled to White Hart Lane not because we were in the hunt for silverware. We just travelled to make a statement and to support the team.
Sadly, a last minute goal by Nico Claesen gave Spurs a 1-0 win, but the over-riding memory of that day twenty-five years ago was the fearsome size of our travelling support.
At 9.30am, I flicked on a Morrissey CD as I joined the M4. The next hour, save for some familiar tunes making me chuckle, the driving was rather monotonous. The fog thickened. It wasn't so much fun.
Heading into London, the fog was still thick and the Wembley Arch to the north was not visible. Ah Wembley – memories of that 5-1 annihilation in April.
I exited the M4 and began a clockwise circumnavigation of inner London via the fabled North Circular. I don't often travel on this road; the last time, in fact, was with Beth on our return from Leverkusen via Stansted airport last November. Before the advent of the M25 in around 1986, the North Circular – and the South Circular – was the main road used to traverse the great city of London. It acts as a ring road. It was and it still is notoriously busy.
As I drove through Ealing Common, with the road at its narrowest, I easily thought back on the years from 1975 to 1980 when my father would park on an adjacent side road and we would travel in by tube to see games at Stamford Bridge. My father was terrified of the London traffic and Ealing was as far as he could manage. Ah, how excited I was on those walks to Ealing Common tube station. My father's last ever Chelsea game was against Everton on New Year's Day 1991 and I'm pretty sure he parked at Ealing Common on that occasion, too. My mind became full of memories of match after match. They were layered one on top of another, just like the piles of bright autumn leaves on the Ealing Common walkways.
After Park Royal, from where we travelled in by tube for my very first game in 1974, the road broadened to three lanes. I had an eye on the clock and an eye on my speedometer. The traffic slowed to a halt on a few occasions. The road cut through inter-war housing estates, industrial areas and small parks. Signs for Wembley, Neasden, Finchley, Barnet and Wood Green. North London proper. It didn't seem like Chelsea territory and, of course, it wasn't. Sure we have pockets of support in this vast section of England's capital, but this area of suburban sprawl belongs to the two North London teams. A large advertisement hoarding for an Arsenal shop at Brent Cross shopping centre emphasised the point.
I continued on. As I neared my destination, the traffic crawled along and my frustration was rising. How I'd hate to have to do this every two weeks. The only place to be every other Saturday certainly isn't driving around the North Circular.
At last, I turned off at Edmonton and, via yet more slow moving traffic and a rather circuitous route, I eventually parked on Wilbury Way. It had taken me three and a half hours to cover the 125 miles.
Phew.
It was 11.45am.
I walked along Bridport Road and then Pretoria Road, past small industrial units, past the Haringey Irish Centre, where Cathy sometimes stops for a drink at Tottenham. I was soon outside White Hart Lane. Land was evidently being cleared for the construction of their new stadium which is planned to be built directly to the east of the current site. A computerised image of the new stadium appeared on a few hoardings. It looked impressive, but eerily similar to Arsenal's new pad. This is no surprise; most new football stadia look as if they have been taken from the same blueprint these days.
Lower bowl, two tiers of executive seats, undulating top tier.
There is nothing special architecturally about White Hart Lane from the outside. It's all rather dull to be honest. What makes it special are the memories of past matches and past players.
I shuffled past a heavy police presence in the south-west corner and entered the stadium. It was 12.15pm. While I waited for the kick-off, I spoke with a few acquaintances. It's amazing how slow it takes for grounds to fill up these days. With fifteen minutes to go, the place was only half full. The team was the same as for Arsenal, apart from Cahill in for Terry. We heard that Gareth Bale wasn't playing. Alan and Gary joined me just before the teams entered the pitch. There had been a few Chelsea songs in the pre-match build-up, but nothing from Tottenham.
As the match began, we soon serenaded the home fans of memories of Munich.
"We know what we are…Champions of Europe…we know what we are."
Two lads arrived with a twelve foot long banner, obviously nicked from Munich, which we tied to the barrier right in front of us.
This was the Champions of Europe section.
Down on the pitch, Chelsea were in the ascendency and were pushing the ball around intelligently. The sun briefly broke through the grey sky and White Hart Lane looked a picture. It is a very neat stadium.
The songs continued.
"We won 5-1 – Wembley."
"We won 6-1 – at The Lane."
"We are the champions – the Champions of Europe, we are the champions – the Champions of Europe."
"That song. You'll never sing that song. You'll never sing that song. You'll never sing that song."
"Ashley Cole's won the European Cup, the European Cup, the European Cup."
"You got battered, you got battered, you got battered – in Seville."
"Love the Old Bill – in Seville. Love the Old Bill – in Seville."
We were certainly in good voice and our team were responding well. Our midfield maestros Oscar and Mata were soon probing away and we looked calm and relaxed, often finding room on both flanks. A corner to the far post was headed back across the box by Gallas. Gary Cahill had peeled away from his marker on the near post and met the dropping ball on the penalty spot with the sweetest of volleys. As a planned corner it could not have worked better if Gallas was still a Chelsea player. The ball thundered into the net. It was a volley which reminded me of the strike by Ivanovic in the Norwich game.
I captured Gary's joyful run back towards us in the southern Park Lane end on camera. He was being chased by his gleeful team mates and their happiness was matched by ours.
Get in.
Our excellent play continued, but we didn't carve out many chances. Tottenham tested Cech a little, but the defence held firm. Mata should have made it 2-0 as the interval approached but he shot over after he followed up his own shot after it was parried by Brad Friedel.
With memories of that night in Naples, Ashley Cole was able to scurry back and head a dipping cross off the line. Two fantastic blocks in quick succession – I think by Cahill and Ivanovic – told me all I needed to know about this new Chelsea team. Both players flung themselves at the ball with no respect for personal injury. It was magnificent to watch. Fantastic stuff.
At the break, talk was all about us playing well, but we were all rueing the lack of a second goal.
Well, the opening period of the second-half was a nightmare. Our concerns about that missing second goal came to fruition. Within ten minutes, defensive lapses had presented Tottenham with not only an equaliser through Gallas but a second goal via Defoe. The home crowd roared both strikes and the sight of all the gurning Spurs fans goading the Chelsea fans to my left and right was sickening.
White Hart Lane came to life. The uber-slow dirge "Oh when the Spurs…go marching in" echoed around the white tub of the old stadium. I hate it because it reminds me of that 2008 Carling Cup Final, but the Spurs fans certainly love it. It's the one time they all get behind the team. The noise was deafening and we were momentarily quiet and subdued.
We were staring our first league defeat in the face. We hadn't won at Tottenham in the league since 2005. Our unbeaten run of thirty-two league games against Spurs from 1990 to 2005 suddenly seemed like a distant memory. It was time for us to buck that trend. It was time for the players to respond. It was Roberto di Matteo's first real challenge of the 2012-2013 league season. There was a niggling doubt that our three marauding midfielders would not be able to offer the two holding midfielders enough cover and assistance. Not just for this game, but throughout the whole campaign. I sat and wondered if our new playing style might be one-dimensional and too fragile. I looked at the Spurs midfielders – Sandro, Sigurrdsson, Huddlestone – and I looked at the slender Mata, Hazard and Oscar.
This was a big test alright.
To be truthful, Hazard had been the least impressive in the first-half. Suddenly, the overwhelming good vibes at the break had turned into feelings of worry and concern. There were cat calls amongst the away support. Fernando Torres, though neat in possession, seemed to be unwilling to run and test the Spurs defence. Too often, he stayed still, rather than exploit space.
Tottenham fired a few long range shots at Cech, but thankfully they tended to be straight towards him.
We need not have worried.
With Mikel and Ramires starting to re-exert themselves in the middle, the rhythm of the first-half soon returned. We enjoyed watching some wonderful flowing football. A loose clearance by Gallas – it was turning out to be his afternoon after all – fell at the feet of Juan Mata on the edge of the box. With ice cold blood in his veins, he took a steadying touch and calmly drilled the ball into the goal, with just inches to spare by the post.
YEEEEESSSSSS!
We were bouncing again. The Chelsea corner exploded with joy.
This was turning into some game. Remarkably, Defoe forced a supremely athletic save from Cech with a dipping shot. Then, a magnificent move resulted in more joy for the three thousand royal blue loyalists. Mikel played the ball to Hazard, who was now a lot more involved. His delightful first-time ball cut straight through the Spurs defence and into the path of the advancing Mata. It was the pass of the season.
Mata clipped the ball past Friedel and we were 3-2 up.
YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!
Oh boy.
What a game.
I found myself yelling awful abuse at the Spurs fans in the distance and I somehow felt cleansed for the experience.
Spurs had a couple of half-chances. Juan Mata could have scored another. He then played in Torres, but his studied strike towards the far post narrowly missed the target.
To our surprise, Daniel Sturridge took the place of the magnificent Oscar when we all expected Torres to be substituted. I commented that Jose Mourinho would have brought on at least one defender with us being 3-2 up. The days of narrow pragmatic wins were now a distant memory.
Attack or be damned.
With Spurs pushing for an equaliser – amid horrible memories of Robbie Keane's late equaliser in the ridiculous 4-4 draw in 2008 – Walker was robbed by Mata on the far touchline in front of The Shelf. He painstakingly passed the ball across the six yard box for Studge to almost apologetically prod home from four yards. Behind him, Torres.
It was one of those days for Nando.
We roared again, though our screams of delight were mixed with howls of laughter too. We turned to the intense figure on the Tottenham bench for one last bout of piss-taking.
"Andre – what's the score? Andre, Andre – what's the score?"
Mr. Villas-Boas was not available for comment.
This was a stunning game of football. Not only did we play some wonderfully entertaining stuff, but the nature of our recovery was emblematic of the new found confidence running through this team. Although Mata deservedly garnered all of the attention, and Cech kept us in the game, I need to mention Mikel and Ramires, our two quite dissimilar bastions at the base of our midfield five. They were quite simply magnificent. Who could have possibly thought that our movement away from a physical style of football to a more entertaining variant would be so easy?
Transition season? What transition season.
On the walk back to the car, all was quiet among the Tottenham fans. There seemed to be an air of sad acceptance that Chelsea had prospered. I hate to say this, but I'm genuinely starting to feel sorry for them.

Erin Cuthbert on 'hate' football after World Cup heartbreak in Scotland: 'I needed time'
Gardner Watts
Chelsea's Erin Cuthubert said he "hated" football after opening the World Cup openly in Paris, adding that it took time to rediscover his love of football.
The 22-year-old Irwin-Cuthart represented her country at the 2019 Women's World Cup in France, but the Scots failed to make it out of the group stages.
Scotland were beaten 2–1 by England in their first Group D game, and a loss to Japan by this score forced them to defeat Argentina.
Scotland led Argentina 3–0 with the third score with 21–0 and the 16th round remaining, but Argentina made an incredible comeback – including a 94th-place retake penalty. Minute – To send Scots crashing.
Cuthbert's dramatic exit of his country after Paris affected his mental health after the tournament and questioned his place in the game.
Speaking on the players' podcast, Cuthart said, "It was tough. It was really tough and I think the months following the World Cup have been the hardest of my life. For me, my career has been quite good. I know that a lot of Scottish players had never been to the tournament before so I felt incredibly lucky and still feel incredibly lucky. But I think this is the first time I have a little refrain after the World Cup. It took me a long time to recover.
"As a young player, I was really struggling, because Scotland is my home. It means a bloody world for my country to play. It's amazing to be able to play these games and I'll be completely honest here , There was nothing. Worse than coming home and watching the game and watching other teams. Looking at Japan, seeing England in our group, there was nothing worse.
