- 1medium yellow onion(finely chopped)
- 1tablespoonchili powder
- 2teaspoonground cumin
- 1½teaspoonsalt
- 1teaspoonground cinnamon
- 1½teaspoonground allspice
- ½teaspooncrushed red pepper
- ½teaspooncocoa powder
- ¼teaspoongarlic powder
- 2bay leaves
- 1½teaspoonscider vinegar
- 1teaspoonWorcestershire sauce
For the Toppings
- Cooked spaghetti
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- White onion(diced)
- Chili beans
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy stockpot, stir together the ground beef and water until soupy.
- Stir in all of the remaining ingredients and bring to a rapid simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours.
- Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles (2-way), top with shredded cheddar cheese (3-way), chopped white onions (4-way), and/or canned, drained chili beans (5-way). Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Recipe Notes:
- I used 85% ground beef and there was just a bit of grease when I stirred it at the end. I tend to like 85% for things like chili and meat sauce since it adds more flavor, but if you want to eliminate any grease, you may want to go with 90% lean.

Cancers which were once fatal are increasingly able to be managed as chronic diseases. While most metastatic cancers in adults may not be curable, they often can be controlled for long periods of time with a succession of treatments. In this chapter in Cancer Concepts: A Guidebook for the Non-Oncologist, we will examine those cancers with longer natural histories and those with extended survivals due to therapeutic advances. Finally, several cases will be presented that exemplify this new paradigm of cancer as a chronic disease.

Just recently our almost 6 month old started rolling and scooting ALL OVER our carpets. This pushed my husband and I to look around for a good reliable carpet cleaner. Wow, did we stumble upon a gem! They used all natural carpet cleaner, everything dried a lot faster than expected, and they even used a special scrubbing brush. All the effort they put into our carpets definitely paid off. The next day we noticed our carpets felt fluffy and brand new. Now we can breathe easy as our baby explores. Thank you Elite Eco Solutions LLC! Amanda — 5 star

I rent and the carpet here is probably from the 80's. I also have pets and kids so I wasn't very optimistic other than hoping a few stains could be lifted. I didn't even know that this carpet could be so soft and fluffy. They were professional, quick, affordable, and did an amazing job. I am very very happy.Meghan — 5 star

Mike is very professional at his job. He brought his son in training yesterday and found out he is one of the most professional children I have ever dealt with. They were both polite and courteous and only had my best interests in mind. No other carpet cleaning company I have ever dealt with has ever not charged for extras such as stain removal and deodorizer. Mike and Wes went above and beyond as they did way more than I could have ever expected for a great price! You don't find people like that anymore and you won't find that in a big company! If I could give 10 stars I would! I would recommend to anyone!! 5 star - Keri
We hired Mike to clean our rental carpets for a move out clean. I was nervous for two reasons. 1. The whole don't do business with friends thing. 2. The amount of pet stains we had from our old dog that had a brain tumor and we have a toddler.... lots of set in marks. Mike was absolutely nothing but professional and there is NO up-sale on anything. He does the job, does it right, and takes pride in the look of a job well done. He got out ALL the pet stains with again 0 markup and the carpets look amazing. Before I would have recommended his service because he was a friend, now I recommend him because of his professionalism, integrity, no sales strategy, AND he's my friend. Use him. You won't regret it!- 5 star Mercedes
Just had my carpets done by Mike and his son and they did an excellent job! I didn't know my carpets could look so good! Very friendly, truly good people. They also have great customer service and very competitive pricing. They listened to all my concerns and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. They truly care about their customers and the work they do. I couldn't be more happy with my service and will absolutely use Elite Eco Solutions again and will be recommending them to all my friends and family. 5 star- Heather

Online Harmony: A Shared Responsibility
We've all become accustomed to the convenience and ease with which we connect to the Internet; to order food, link up with friends, get directions, research a product, post a selfie and even pay for coffee. It is a part of our social fabric, our culture and an important part of our kids' education. As President Obama recently said, "The Internet is not a luxury, it is a necessity." With this in mind, we all need to take responsibility for creating a safe and welcoming online environment for everyone. Part of being a good citizen is being a good digital citizen. What does that take? Who is responsible? How can you help? Here are some suggestions for what you can do to make cyberspace a place for the whole family, and our extended community, to enjoy.

It's not just kids who need online privacy boundaries
Look at that five-year-old in the rolled-up chinos and straw boater. I mean, isn't he adorable? To post or not to post – that is the conundrum. Back-to-school is the perfect time to talk about setting privacy boundaries for techobsessed kids, but what about their social media-maven parents? In the past decade, a generation of parenting bloggers has grappled with the question of how much online information-sharing about their kids – both the details of their daily lives and how they look in those moments – is too much. How much of their lives belong to parents to share? And more, are kids entitled to a piece of the profits when their cute-as-heck mug is used to hock a brand-building parent's lifestyle?
NATHALIE ATKINSON, The Globe and Mail
Track your kids online: police
You're a busy parent with laundry to do, supper to make, housework to be completed, plus a demanding full-time job. RNC Const. Terry Follett of the CFSEU Internet Child Exploitation unit says it's imperative that parents know what they're children are doing online. During such hectic times, parents are often reassured their kids are OK if they're in their room on the computer.
Sextortion' is a growing problem online targeting kids for explicit photos and videos
Sextortion is a growing online crime targeting kids and teens for explicit photos and videos. CU-Boulder Police warned students on Tuesday about an international scam after two male students reported being victims of "sextortion." In that case, a woman calling herself Queenie Lee threatened to post inappropriate photos taken during a Skype conversation if the students didn't wire hundreds of dollars.

Victoria Police Looking for More Victims After Online Child Predator Arrested
The Victoria Police Department Special Victims Unit (SVU) is warning parents to speak to their children about staying safe online after the attempted luring of a 13-year-old girl. According to police, 28-year-old Victoria resident Aaron Craig is facing 13 charges after attempting to lure underage girls online. So far, police have confirmed five victims ranging in age from 12 to 17 years of age, but add that none were physically harmed.
Kids use 'secret apps' to hide photos, videos and files
You don't need to be a parent or grandparent to know that the Internet gives kids access to information you wouldn't have dreamed of looking at when you were a kid. Kids also get really, really tricky when they want something, and technology makes it even easier for them. When you were young, and were up to no good, your parents just had to secretly listen in on one of your telephone calls. As long as they didn't blow their cover by breathing too loudly, your parents could keep tabs on who you were talking to, and what you were up to. Not so today.
What social media is doing to our kids and how to turn back the tide of insecurities
BETWEEN Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Vine, Tumbler and YouTube, our children have never been so connected. Nor, according to the following statistics, have they been so self-involved. Today, for example, your child will log on to Facebook and join the other 986 million daily active users ''liking'' and commenting on others' lives or laying theirs bare for critique. He or she will upload the five selfies taken on the Westfield escalators this afternoon, putting Google's daily selfie estimate at a total of 93 million and five. Your child will browse feeds such as the wildly popular Rich Kids of Instagram, which has now become the top photography site of choice for 12-year-olds (despite the 13+ age restriction). And in a world where seeing is believing, this week alone your child will lay their eyes upon about 5000 photoshopped images.
Internet addiction leading to psychological disorders: Experts
Do you check updates on social networking sites when you wake up in the morning and before you go to sleep at night? Do you frequently check your phone to see if you missed any alert of chat on WhatsApp? Do you prefer chatting with friends for long hours to calling them or meeting them? Do you prefer re-reading chat conversations to reading books or newspapers? If your answer to the above questions is in affirmative, chances are that you are suffering from an addiction to social networking sites.

Why I'm happy for my pre-teen kids to be on social media
Should we support proposals for an age-verification system to prevent children using social media, or trust parents to teach their children common sense?
Mandatory South Korean parental control app is a security nightmare
Back in April, South Korea required that wireless carriers install parental control apps on kids' phones to prevent young ones from seeing naughty content. It sounded wise to officials at the time, but it now looks like that cure is worse than the disease. Researchers at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab have discovered 26 security holes in Smart Sheriff, the most popular of these mandatory parental apps. The software has weak authentication, sends a lot of data without encryption and relies on servers using outdated, vulnerable code. It wouldn't be hard for an intruder to hijack the parent's account, intercept communications or even scoop up the kids' personal details. The worst part? Some of these vulnerabilities apply on a large scale, so a particularly sinister attacker could compromise hundreds of thousands of phones at once.

Waynesville's Michael Dunbar receives Northern award
ST. JAMES—Each year, Meramec Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) honors residents of the Meramec Region who give to their communities by volunteering their time, talents and support. This year, 13 awards in the categories of outstanding individuals and outstanding youth volunteers were presented at MRPC's 2018 Annual Dinner Oct. 25 at the Hermann Hill Wedding and Convention Center, Hermann.
The night included a reception that began at 5:30, featuring a Taste of Hermann event showcasing food and drinks from Hermann businesses. A silent auction, which raised over $1,287 to offset the costs of the dinner, was held during the reception. Some 171 individuals were in attendance at the dinner.
"Our Annual Dinner is the highlight of our year, as our board takes great pleasure in honoring some very deserving volunteers across our region, recapping some of the great projects that have occurred in our communities and taking a look at the contributions MRPC, as an organization, has made to our cities and counties," said Bonnie Prigge, MRPC executive director.
Individuals recognized by MRPC for contributions to their communities were:
Youth Volunteers:
The Eugene E. Northern award, the highest honor given by MRPC for volunteers and community service, was presented to Michael Dunbar of Waynesville. He was nominated by Waynesville Mayor Luge Hardman and St. Robert Mayor George Lauritson. Dunbar retired from the U.S. Army and has served the community by taking a leadership role with the Waynesville/St. Robert Chamber of Commerce, serving on numerous boards, and a strong commitment the Fort Leonard Wood area. As chair of the Missouri Military Preparedness and Enhancement Commission, his influence is felt from Jefferson City to Washington D.C. As a founding member and past president of the Sustainable Ozarks Partnership, Mike has worked tirelessly to enhance the position of Fort Leonard Wood as a premier training facility in the military.
The Maries County Bank was honored with Meramec Regional Development Corporation's Lender of the Year award. Mark Hayes, senior vice president, accepted the award on its behalf.
Four staff members were recognized at the 2018 awards banquet for years of service: Elaine Cloyde, housing program coordinator for Crawford County with MRPC, received her award for 30 years of service; Tammy Snodgrass, assistant director and environmental programs manager, received her award for 25 years of service; Chuck Cantrell, housing inspector, received his award for 20 years of service; and Larry Blevins, maintenance technician, received his award for 15 years of service. Caitlin Jones, marketing and communications coordinator, was honored as MRPC's employee of the year. Jones joined MRPC in December 2016.
"We really appreciate the hospitality, provided by the city of Hermann and Gasconade County, our hosts, and a special thank you to Terry Hammer and his staff for all their hard work to deliver a top-notch location for our evening," Prigge said. "The support from the Hermann business community was amazing. It was certainly a great evening."

When it comes to celebrities there's no shortage of crazy health and beauty trends, but an old admission from Jersey Shore cast member Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi deserves some revisiting. The tanned reality star once said her favorite skin exfoliation product was none other than cat litter.
Some exfoliants have rocks in them, and it makes your skin really smooth, she said in an interview with Conan O'Brien. Cat litter is like a substitute for that.
SEE ALSO: How to stay young and beautiful like Salma Hayek
According to Snooki, cat litter replicates the texture of commercial exfoliation products at a much cheaper price, but not everyone is sold on the idea. According to Lezandra Berchik, an esthetician at Bliss Spa in Los Angeles, cat litter should stay in the pet industry where it belongs.
Berchik told Women's Health the particles in cat litter are far too large and coarse for the face. This can result in micro scratches and inflammation that ultimately makes skin appear worse. What's more, the silica in cat litter put there to absorb moisture will do the same on skin–but in a much more drastic way than appropriate for skincare.
The cat litter facial
As odd as Snooki's beauty routine may be, she isn't the only one out there using what is often called "the cat litter facial." The Internet is full of videos and blogs advocating the deep pore cleansing ability of a facial mask made out of cat litter, with most users mixing their desired brand of litter with water and letting the mask sit on their skin for approximately 15 minutes.
Despite the support of a die-hard group of young women (and some men), experts still don't advise the cat litter scrub as a viable option for clear skin.
SEE ALSO: 3 fresh and flirty eye make up tips for Spring
"I would not put kitty litter on my face," Rebecca O'Sullivan, an esthetician at Chicago's Sine Qua Non Salon, told Cosmopolitan. "Some brands of kitty litter contain aluminium silicate, the same ingredient used in glass-making as well as housing insulation. Plus, it's a known neurotoxin for humans. Facial skin is more sensitive and thinner than the rest of the body," O'Sullivan said. "You may notice some skin tears, breakouts, and even premature fine lines. Any type of scrub that is not a 'rounded' shape has a tendency to cause these issues."
The best alternative to a cat litter facial? Try using a natural clay mask that won't contain the chemicals cat litter does. If you're looking for exfoliation and you want to keep it natural, try baking soda which has smaller, rounder particles and won't be as harsh on your skin.

Explore the most popular Cities in Surrey with hand-curated trail maps and driving directions as well as detailed reviews and photos from hikers, campers and nature lovers like you.
was on crutches and was a little hard with tree routes but still accessible
Nice walk up through wooded area. Amazing views from the top on a sunny day. There is a cafe in the tower at the top but be sure to bring cash if you want that cup of tea!
My regular dog-walking route! Leashes are only required close to the cafés and car park. If you go off the paths and elsewhere into the great park like the Valley Gardens you need to watch out for additional dogs on leads signs. They're mostly to protect planting, popular picnic spots and children's play areas but be careful on bridle paths and dogs must always be on the lead in the Deer Park.
Awesome views
This is one of the many paths starting from Newlands Corner parking or bus stop (no bus on Sundays): - there's also one going east with terrific views before descending the hill down to the Silent Pool, then you cross the road and walk through the fields. This is the trail where Agatha Christie once mysteriously disappeared for 3 days. - then there one to the west which shares the initial trail with the one mentioned here but then goes all the way back to Guildford and passes through a lovely forest with the flowers in full blossom during April/May.
Great views. atmospheric. it helped the weather was good.
Amazing :)
Beautiful trail along the river. A cool walk in the summer until you hit the golf course and fields which are without shade. The Anchor pub is a lovely spot to stop for a cool drink and bite to eat almost exactly half way, situated by a lock and a real sun spot. The directions from the lock aren't easy as the footpaths are overgrown so you need to be inventive on how to get through and back on track. Avoid falling into the muddy ditch is you are attempting to cross though the undergrowth onto the golf course!! Almost lost my other half to the bog - but that's usual!! Lovely day out and nice and easy for an afternoon stroll with bite to eat.
Great views of the Surrey countryside.
Amazing views from the tower in all directions
Great walk, views are amazing but trails are poor on descent from Newlands Corner.
Great walk and with a nice cafe at the start/finish
Perfect decent length family walk with lots of things to see and do all the way around (totem pole, ancient ruins etc). Can be done alone in 1h20m fast walking but a family walk of 2 hours or even 3 hours with kids. Three pubs near the outside of the loop so combines well with lunch.

3 things to keep you busy
|Ever think, hey- I'm bored and I need something to do? Yeah, me neither. If you ever do find yourself with nothing to do, you can either do this or buy this:
Adopt a horse from a shelter. Make sure they are fabulous like this guy (Key is to make sure you have an ill-fitting pink sweatshirt. Nothing reeks of fun and excitement more than human marshmallows!):
Paint a new Cowgirl painting:
"Let's Ride"
Make sure you have plenty of stylish flasks on hand:
Where to buy? Let me lead the way: http://www.shano-studio.com/flasks.html
Take a moment to reflect on the upcoming days. Have you truly considered what you're encroaching upon this Holiday season? (Yep, crazy old Uncle George will be there with his exceptionally fabricated stories . . . as well as 15-year-old Cousin Roach with the Mohawk, piercings- and basically hours upon hours of entire evenings filled with painfully forced conversations.) Therefore, my friend, you deserve a cocktail in your back pocket, handbag, or hey . . . Out in the open because you are one stylish fashionista.
Just in case the top three just don't cut it and you REALLY need a FOURTH thing to keep you busy (and stressed!), have a pregnant dog that is 5 days overdue to have puppies, therefore basically chaining you to your house. You will be forced to do domesticated things like cleaning, laundry, and Christmas cards.
So go out and enjoy your Walmart Holiday shopping. Bask in the traffic. Visit the ATM and see how much money you REALLY have in your account. Max out and overextend your credit card and buy things for people who are truly ungrateful. Live it up, already!!

Dogs Allowed Back On D.C. Restaurant Patios
Who says nothing gets done in Washington?
Earlier this month, the District of Columbia Council unanimously decided to end a ban prohibiting canines from bar and restaurant patios.
For years, the ban had gone unenforced, and a host of dog-friendly bars and restaurants thrived. But the district's health department began enforcing the ban in September, telling restaurant owners that canine customers were no longer welcome.
Emergency legislation to end the ban, dubbed "Dining with Dogs Emergency Declaration," allows business owners to decide whether to allow dogs on their patios. Following the vote, the mayor's office said it would update the regulations.

Germany's first organic efficiency house is in Poing in Upper Bavaria, not far from the regional capital of Munich. For the Alpenchic show home, the eco home pioneer Baufritz created a balance between the traditional and the modern. With fuel cell heating, natural products in wood, steel and glass, a holistic health concept – and a bathroom ensemble consisting of a free-standing bath and washbasin in steel/enamel by Bette. The material is not all that convinces – so too does the precision manufacture of the bathroom products
"The Alpenchic show home is without doubt one of the most innovative show homes in Europe," states Thomas Zoller, the building's interior designer. Its rectangular structure, generous roof overhangs and the façade of wood shingle are a clear link to the typical alpine building style. "We transfer these trusted, old construction details into a modern, contemporary architecture, and enrich it with Bauhaus elements and specifically positioned design details."
The modern features are, above all, in the technology. "The house has its own recycling cellar and an independent energy concept with fuel cell technology, photovoltaics, and its own wind power plant in the garden." This means the building is large self-sufficient. In the real plus energy house, thanks to a solar power storage unit, the building's consumption of its own power increases to about 80 percent. The Alpenchic also contains lots of other technology. The whole building is controlled by a touchscreen, which is integrated in the hall cupboard mirror. And a centrally controlled system of air pipes organises the air conditioning in the rooms.
Highest sustainability and health standards
The focus of the concept was quite clearly on the health of the inhabitants. The dominant material is elegant wood – all the way to the organic insulating material of spruce chips, which was developed by the eco house pioneer personally. Two certificates confirm the exceptionally high standards for the building. The Alpenchic show home not only holds the Sentinel health certificate for healthy buildings, but it is also the first ever building in Germany to bear the strict Swiss "Minergie-A-Eco" label. Factors such as energy efficiency, the use of renewable energies, healthy living and the building's construction ecology are all rated.
A healthy naturalness also determines the design of the bathroom, which is a light, high room with a wooden ladder against the wall. Wood again dominates here, as in the rest of the house – which is actually quite unusual for a bathroom. "Working mainly with wood initially contradicts what we are used to seeing and doing. However, the material not only has a very special feel and sound to it, but it is also an inherent part of alpine architecture."
Made-to-measure ensemble of washbasin and bath
The focal point of the room is an ensemble consisting a of free-standing bath and matching washbasin by the Delbrück-based steel/enamel specialist Bette. The washbasin and bath were joined together for the Alpenchic show home in the company's manufacturing department, where the washbasin was also drilled individually for the fittings. It is directly connected to the bath in the show home, and in the same puristic design. The BetteOne Relax Highline bath and BetteOne washbasin are from the same series, the design of which is the work of the Potsdam offices of Tesseraux und Partner.
The bath rim is only 28 cm high, which is a characteristic of the bath and creates a reduced effect – and with the back designed along the lines of a recliner, provides plenty of comfort. Special feature: thanks to the BetteSpring tap, the water fills from the bottom up. This means filling the bath is very quiet and uncomplicated.
"Sustainability is a topic that has involved us for a long time," says Sven Rensinghoff, marketing director at Bette. "So the co-operation with the eco pioneer Baufritz really is the logical conclusion for us. Steel/enamel has a number of very clear, proven advantages in terms of sustainability and ecology, ranging from the natural materials to the long lifetimes and complete recycling." Baufritz has been collaborating with the steel/enamel specialist Bette for years. "There are numerous excellent reasons for the co-operation with Bette," explains Zoller. "Including that Bette makes free-standing baths from one material with perfect craftsmanship. Bette can also tailor individual solutions. That goes perfectly with our philosophy." In the approximately 200 houses that Baufritz builds every year, individuality in design is always much in demand – and that includes the made-to-measure bath.
The material steel/enamel from which the Bette washbasins, shower trays and baths are made, is durable, hygienic and just as exclusive after decades as it was on the day of purchase. An important argument for Zoller: "Value and durability of the materials are tremendously important to us. And steel/enamel struck us as being the right material for sustainable planning." Steel, wood and glass – these materials are used for the high-quality architecture in the Alpenchic show home, since they combine comfort with energy efficiency and a noticeably healthy living climate.
The ecological quality of the entire Bette range is confirmed by the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) issued by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. This EPD equates to standard ISO 14025.

Nowhere to Go in This Upcoming Election, Sorry to Disappoint
Of any stripe.
Which means, essentially, that I have nowhere to go in the upcoming election.
This weekend, so far, I have been visited by the Democratic party (at my door) twice. They are polling to see if we plan to vote.
DH tells them he's not voting at all. And I tell them "only for women."
Needless to say.... it didn't go over well. Wonder if they'll be back today???

My attitude -- aside from the overarching "only vote for women" one which we share -- is that I reward leftward movement.ReplyDelete
That's the problem. Where you stand isn't nearly as important as in what direction you are moving. The Democrats lurched to the right hugely in 2008, whereas the Republicans are becoming more moderate. They have no choice; they are being stormed by disaffected Democrats. :-)
More and more Republicans are moderating on choice and same-sex issues. They are sliding to the left. Reward that. Democrats are slid horribly to the right. Punish them for it. Seriously -- we can't use the same script we've used as social liberals for most of our lives, neither of us. I'm one as well, and I grew up with the fundamental assumption that The Right-Wing Was All Fundie Ratfuckers. Up until 2008, they were for the most part. But they are falling away from that position rapidly. Reward that movement.
We can no longer use the "Democrat = good for women and minorities, cares about the environment, is for labor unions" and "Republican = crazy fundie witchburner who trashes the planet and hates gay people and empowered women" mental shorthand. Things have shifted enormously, and they are still shifting.
Reward leftward movement. Again, don't worry about where the parties stand -- worry about what direction they are moving. Reward leftward movement -- and right now, that's Republicans.
If you have to choose between a Dem and Repub women, I mean. Other than that, vote for the chick. :-)

Monday, while not planned out, was chock full of stuff. My daughter walked to school, a 40 activity for her. While her feet move at a pretty good clip, her mouth moves even faster. I got a rambling stream of consciousness story both on the way to and from school. She also had music class which necessitated my waking up my son, picking her up from school to walk across the street, and then picking her up a quick 45 minutes later. My son and I went downtown in the morning and spent time at the Children's Museum. I did laundry and dishes. Lots of stuff. Between all of that, there was a great deal of walking, some at kid's pace and some at mine.
One of the most memorable experiences from the day, however, happened when we stopped. On the way home from music class and as the sky grew dark, we came upon a road resurfacing project in action. Steaming asphalt, several road rollers of different sizes, an asphalt paver, and its dump truck full of asphalt. My son and daughter watched with rapt attention to the dump truck as it backed up to the paver and to the two vehicles as they worked in tandem to place a ribbon of hot asphalt on the road. Right behind them the little roller was zipping around man hole and sewer covers while the bigger ones smashed the surface into a smooth, black roadway. The five or ten minutes we stayed there were some of the best of the day. Best was the warm smile and wave from one of the workers to my daughter. This must have been the end of a really long shift, but he was genuinely warm and connecting. She talked about being a road construction worker for a good ten minutes afterward.

Oh alright
Happy Sadieday!
If I were allowed outside, my whole LIFE would be about off-roading!
thanks for taking us along today Sadie. We may not get to go out today since we are supposed to have rain and high winds all day long.
Your strolls are always so much fun, Sadie!
There's not much off-roading opportunities for me though ;-)
purrs, Sammy =^.^=
My FAVOURITE day of the week!
Happy HAPPY SADIEDAY!
Great stroll Sadie. I look forward to seeing your strolling adventures.
Your strolls seem vaguely familiar.
Oh, yes. It is like taking my kids to the store!:)
Off roading looks like fun!! We think mud might be a bit messy for us cats but our woofies think it sounds great.
The Florida Furkids and Angel Sniffie
Sadie...that tail says it all! Straight up and happy without a care in the world.
The publicist is WAAAAY off the beaten path
We never let a little rain and mud stop us Oregon dogs, huh Sadie!
Wyatt and Stanzie
We tried to get off the beaten path today too, Sadie, and for some reason the Momster wouldn't let us - yeppers, some great mud there too.
Did you have to dunk your feet in a bucket of water when you got home? Mom does that to us and we don't think very much of it at all.
Happy Sadieday!!!
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
I don't get to go outside of our gate. And Mummy would get all upset if I were to get anywhere near mud. Mummy and I do love to join you on Sadiedays, though.
Love, Whisky
That looks like a blast, Sadie! I just love Sadie-Day! Me and Dave are working on Mom right NOW to head out on our own adventure!
Play bows,
I love how the path always looks, with all those trees. Looks like great weather too! {:-D
Sadie, we live for your day to see your strolls...The Baby would LOVE to do some off-roading Outdoors--but our Mommy is a party pooper too.
I love strolling along with you, Sadie!
No, we strolled around the city today - it would have been more fun to stroll with you!
Sadie, you look so happy in that second to last picture! Walkies are FUN!
Harley likes to zig and zag and off-road too :) That makes the stoll even more fun :)
Haha! We love when you go off-roading, Sadie!!
Oh Sadie, we missed your stroll this morning. Our Mom is getting so darn slack. That is one of our favorite things to do. Too many things on her mind I guess. Anyway, that sure was a nice stroll. Hope all of you are having a good week end.
It looks like another great walk, Sadie! Thanks for sharing!
me lova the strolls me not so good in da mud!!!
Happy Saturday Sharla - hope it's been a wonderful day for you!
Sadie, I just love seeing how happy you are on your walks!
Thanks for all this great information! You've probably saved several cat's lives today by writing it...
Our strolling days are getting fewer and far between here ~ it's getting too cold!
I am so thankful you take us along for your Sadieday stroll!
xo Catherine
Sadie I wish I could get as excited about my walking!
You always go on such fun excursions, Sadie!
I was telling Geoff about you yesterday because he really wants a husky. I didn't used to like them, but you've converted me! Geoff went to University of Washington, and their mascot is the husky.
Strolls are just that...wander, meander, sniff and whiff!

Tiles are often applied to modern buildings. Selected as one of the materials to coat several surfaces of the house, such as floors, walls, and kitchen spaces. The main reason why tiles are in great demand because besides being easy to clean, the presence of ceramic pattern variants is enough to make it multifunctional. For example, special ceramic tile patterns for rooms, terraces, bathrooms, and others. However, if there is dirt attached to the floor, then to remove the dirt or stain is needed in its way, so that more quickly cleaned or it could leave a stain that will be hard to remove. If there are stains on the floor it could make it look dull, but do not worry because you could use tile cleaning north shore service to make it shine again best carpet cleaner.
But if the stain is recent you do not have to panic, for the sake of making it easier for you to treat it while cleaning the surface of the ceramic floor, just use natural ingredients as a cleaner. Lemon water and vinegar are one of the ingredients that we often encounter at home. In addition to its function as a cooking spice, it turns out the mixture of these two ingredients is quite effective as a floor cleaning agent. Mix vinegar and lemon water into warm water, put the mixture in a spray bottle, spray it evenly to the surface of the floor then rub the ceramic floor using ordinary cloth or mop.
Or you could use hot water and detergent to avoid staining on your tiles. If the ceramic floor is only filled with stains from drinks such as coffee or tea, then try using hot water mixed with detergent as a floor cleaner. That is enough to wipe the floor with a cloth dipped in the mixture. Of course, this method can help clean the floor stains.

The words that are used to describe Jesus in this passage are "The Word, the Light, the Son of God, the unique One, Messiah, the Lord, the Lamb of God, the Chosen One of God, Teacher, King of Israel, and the Son of Man."
The names that speak good news to me are 'The Light' and 'The Son of God'.

Harvest Monday – April 27, 2015
I skipped last week, oops. Not because I had no harvests, but because I had no time. I spent so much time repotting tomatoes and finishing the work in the community garden (now I can leave it alone until mid-May, except for occasional watering and weeding, but with how well-mulched it is, it shouldn't need too much of either.)
The last of the parsnips I had stored in one of the empty planters on the balcony.
Red mizuna, which does not photograph well.
Lunch on Sunday, a salad with three different kinds of lettuce (Lollo rosso, Lollo bionda and Forellenschluss), arugula and chives from the balcony (and some store-bought tomatoes and cucumbers and a bit of tuna). Eaten in the sunshine on the balcony. I'm finally taking a bit of time to enjoy the balcony, too, not just work there!

Kirk Cousins may seem like the Washington Redskins only 2018 free agent given the constant debate over keeping him. But, Washington has 17 others.
Unlike Cousins, whose franchise tag prevents contract talks until season's end, other free agents can be extended now.
And, the Redskins might be smart to redo linebacker Zach Brown's deal now and at least attempt talks with cornerback Baushad Breeland, because once the season ends, free agents want to test the market even if re-signing. Often, it's only more expensive for the team to wait, though some of their free agents won't be hotly-sought.
Cousins' contract certainly impacts 2018 planning, given he could cost anywhere from zero to $34 million. But modest moves now help clear some space for next season.
Brown leads the NFL in tackles. His one-year, $2.3 million deal is a steal and will likely triple. He can man the middle for the next five years. That makes him the Redskins' No. 1 priority after Cousins.
Breeland has finally learned to temper his recklessness and play like a No. 1 corner despite being behind Josh Norman. The Redskins' problem is Breeland wants No. 1 money and will likely draw it elsewhere. Overpaying him now might save money in a spring bidding duel where Breeland likely leaves. Yes, the Redskins have his successor in Kendall Fuller, but having too many good corners is not a problem.
The Redskins have a handful of decent starters who shouldn't be too expensive, but might get some leaguewide interest. Linebackers Trent Murphy, Will Compton, Mason Foster and Junior Galette are all affordable. So are receiver Ryan Grant and center Spencer Long. And, if safety DeAngelo Hall finishes the season healthy, don't be surprised to see the 33-year-old re-sign.
Terrelle Pryor, Sr. looks like a bad fit, so he's probably gone. For a variety of reasons, guard Shawn Lauvao, tight end Niles Paul, receiver Brian Quick and kicker Dustin Hopkins might not return, either. On injured reserve, Hopkins may be an afterthought if successor Nick Rose does well.
Meanwhile, back to fighting over whether Cousins is worth the money.

Fun / Charitable / Academy Awards at The Kate
Academy Awards at The Kate
I managed to keep my lids propped open during the Grammys for Lady Gaga's performance (overrated) and The Avett Brothers (crushworthy), but sadly slept through Eminem. Award shows can be such a snooze. This year, however, I'm donning a party dress and trotting over to The Kate for their first Oscar night bash. Can't think of a better way to view the red carpet silliness than plopped in The Kate's comfy chairs, watching the simulcast on a giant screen and sipping champagne while nibbling hors d'oeuvres from Liv's Oyster Bar. A bit of Hollywood in Old Saybrook! And, besides, it's a great cause: a benefit for our newest and loveliest theater. Sunday, February 27th, 7:30 pm. $75 per ticket. Purchase online:

When looking at the video for a laptop there are three items to look over: the screen size, resolution and the graphics processor. For most people only the screen size and resolution are all that will really matter. The graphics processor really only tends to make a difference for those looking to possibly do some mobile gaming or high definition video. Pretty much all laptops use some form of backlit active matrix display to allow for bright fast displays capable of video playback.
Laptop screens have a wide range of sizes depending upon the type of laptop system that you are looking at. Larger screens provide an easier to view screen such as a desktop replacement. Ultraportables tend to have smaller screens allowing for a reduced size for increased portability. Many systems now offer a wide aspect ratio screen either for a more cinematic display or to reduce the size of the screen in the depth dimension for a smaller system size.
All screens sizes are given in a diagonal measurement. This is the measurement from the lower screen corner to the opposite upper corner of the screen. This will be the actual visible display area. Here is a chart of the average screen sizes for different style laptops:
Screen resolution or native resolution is the number of pixels on the display listed in the number across the screen by the number down the screen. Laptop displays look best when the graphics are run at this native resolution. While it is possible to run at a lower resolution, doing so creates either a reduced image on the screen with a black border or an extrapolated display. An extrapolated display tends to cause reduced image clarity as the system has to use multiple pixels to try and display how a single pixel would normally appear.
Higher native resolutions allow for a greater detail in the image and increased work space on the display. The drawback to high resolution displays is that fonts tend to be smaller and more difficult to read. This can be a particular drawback for people who have poor eyesight. It can be compensated by changing the font size in the operating system, but this can have unintended results in programs. Below is a chart of the various video acronyms that refer to resolutions:
In the past, graphics processors have not been much of an issue for consumer laptops. The majority of users were not doing much graphically that required 3D graphics or accelerated video. This has changed as more and more people use their laptops as their exclusive machine. Even if you don't plan on playing PC games, a graphics processor is still a necessary item if you intend to do high definition video playback either via stream, media file or Blu-ray. Most of the modern dedicated graphics processors can handle these but if you are looking to play 3D games, you will need to look towards higher end mobile graphics.
