I have made this recipe several times and it is very good and very close to what you get at the Olive Garden. I cooked it in the pressure cooker this time, but have also cooked it on top of the stove. It makes a LOT!
karenhainesl3x4 ,Ugh... the pasta soaked up all my beautiful beefy broth when my back was turned.... next time pasta will be served on the side, my husbands idea! So good before that, but I still have half of the soup without the pasta in the freezer...'til next time. : )
karenhainesl3x4 ,-doubled it but - eliminated the tomato sauce -doubled the garlic -added 4 TBS olive oil (beef very lean) -browned the beef very well to get all the beefy flavor from the brown bits into the broth -cooked the pasta separately, salted the water, al dente -pureed 4 cups of the soup, put it back in the pot -added a full 46oz bottle of V8, -plus 8 oz of the salty pasta water ( a little trick of Lydia Bastianich) -added the pasta -served it with cheesy garlic bread... Yum...beefy not too acidic -put half in the freezer
valerie411 ,Very simple to make. Next time I think I'll try sausage and add spinach
triciagarman ,My family loved this! I make double batches and freeze some of it for later.
saintsgirl72 ,OMG this was so good! I used a large can of tomato juice in place of the small can of V8. It helped the recipe to be more like a soup and less like thick chili. This will be my "go-to" for Football Sundays! I also made a vegetarian version for my nephew using veggie meatballs in place of the beef. Both were awesome!
jackiechan042003 ,Very delicious! On the thicker side, almost like an italian based chili...so next time I might add some broth or some water in the last 20 minutes it has before its done. And I also sprinkled some mozzarella cheese on top :)
nicolegory ,My son loved it! I may have added a little too much red pepper.
xclareconwayx ,Easy and delicious. made this for my boyfriend because this soup at olive garden is his favorite, and he liked it. I also enjoyed it! It felt filling and tasty but not too heavy. All ingredients= $15
sassyjenn71 ,Super easy
deblov2cook ,It is gopd
stevematter ,This is really good. Real thick also, I added a cup of water and it is still thick. Need to add some broth and boost the seasoning a little.
maryjennings ,Definitely a hit with the family after a day of sledding!
taraspeece ,I have no idea how it taste but I can't wait to try it!!!
achristman ,Added beef base and cayenne pepper for more flavor.
icruz ,Continued from my previous review: i also added about 3 tablespoons of chicken bouillon.

Decided to give this new story a go..
Please sit back and enjoy part one;
Night Dragon.
The energetic rays of light from the moon shone brightly through every break in the clouds that they came across. The light darted back and forward making small cartoon-like shadows dance up and around the small town. It was a very lush green valley that laid claim to these houses. Hut's would be a more appropriate way to describe them. Large huts. Made with wooden beams, and bamboo. It was the easiest way to make homes, and they offered medium protection against most elements. Luckily it wasn't yet raining, however if the clouds had there way.. that would change.
One shadow darted a little quicker than the rest. Too quick to be a tree branch moving. Too slow to be a bird in mid flight. No, this shadow belonged to a cat. Bus the cat to be exact. He scurried across the gardens of every hut in the direction he was heading. He bounced, pounced, paraded and galloped. Up and down walls. Across the roofs. Like an Olympic gymnast. Maybe he was looking for a mouse he'd spotted a while back. Maybe Bus was chasing the light. Or his shadow. It's possible he was a secret agent cat. This could have been his obstacle course training. Before we could find out however, he slipped up, and fell from above a bedroom window. The falling was silent. The landing was immaculate. But the sound that left his little mouth as he dropped.. that was loud. So loud in fact, it woke Matt.
Matt was about 5'11 and helped his family around the farm. It was the biggest farm in the town, and he always had busy days. He would chop wood, look after the animals, go looking for herbs for medicines, and teach others to run. Of course that last one sounds rather odd. People can run by themselves.. just not very far. Matt would show them how to work their stamina into their stride, and breathe properly. He would run cross country. And this was a huge country. He did this for a specific reason.. but more about that later.
Matt's eyes popped open, and then immediately frowned. He'd woke.. but immediately become annoyed at the fact that he was awake and not in the land of deep slumber.
"Urrgh.." He groaned as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He mumbled incoherently to himself as he made his way to the window. His short hair had somehow managed to become all tufty due to the way he slept. Matt stumbled over to the window, after what felt like a lifetime. Then he did what everyone does. They always peer out the window into the dark. As if they expect to see anything but shadows.. Matt didn't and still peered. Left then right. Nothing. Now he was even more irritated. Nothing.. had woke him up. Nothing had disturbed him. He was irked.. at nothing! Matt shook his head and headed back to bed.
Just before his butt hit the mattress though.. another noise grated through his ears.
"Oooi! Hey! Matt, get over here!" A head popped up from under his window. It was Chloe. She'd moved to the town not so long ago and the two had struck up a fast friendship. She was an attractive girl. At the age of 20 she was one year older. But just as mature as Matt.. He turned and looked at Chloe at the window.
"Argh.. what the hell are you doing?" He asked with surprise but while heading over to help her in. He wasn't angry that she'd turned up. A hot girl was always more than welcome. It was that she'd caught him with tufty hair, and no top. He was lean and fit, that wasn't the problem. But he had quite a few scars around his arms and back. He hated explaining what had happened to cause them. Made him seem like a fool. But more on that later.
Chloe and matt tumbled from the window back into his room. Straight on the floor, with a thud that you can only get from human bodies hitting hard wood. She looked at him, half amused, half shocked. Matt blushed and moved..
"Umm.." So what did you want.." His words stumbled out of his awkward mouth.
"Well Romeo, she mocked, I couldn't sleep.." She sighed. "And.. I heard our dad's talking.."
"About the same thing as last time?" Matt asked trying to side step the Romeo comment.
"Yeah.." Chloe responded, and shuffled her feet.
Matt nodded and dropped his head slightly. He headed over to Chloe. Gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Look.. this town has been invaded before. I was here." The look in Chloe's eyes asked the question that her lips wouldn't utter. She placed a cold hand on one of the scars on Matt's stomach..
Matt recoiled slightly at the cold.. he then simply nodded.
"I won't let nothing happen to you, Chloe.."

The cutout is such a fun feature, and I love that it gives off a retro feel. It's so different than what I often go for, and I rarely wear anything that is a midi style, so when I saw this, I knew it would be a fun addition to my closet that I didn't already have. I would love to wear it with a pair of espadrilles like these as well.

It is timely that Lawrence L. Klein's article ("It's Time to Look Closely at Banks," July 15) should appear in The Times Business section on the same day as Bill Sing's report on the takeover of the failed First National Bank & Trust Co. of Oklahoma City by First Interstate ("First Interstate to Take Over Failed Oklahoma Bank").
Sing's news item highlights the excellent points made by Klein. Of particular significance is the fact that the FDIC, in addition to paying First Interstate $72 million to take over the failed bank, will retain $418 million of the most hopeless loans made by the benighted lenders at First National Bank & Trust.
In effect, that's close to $2 apiece that each U.S. citizens is paying for the incompetence, recklessness and avarice of a bunch of Oklahoma bankers.

Relic Entertainment and SEGA Monday announced the official release date for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III. It's the third installment of the real-time strategy franchise based upon the tabletop game by Games Workshop and it's scheduled to be released on April 27, 2017.
Dawn of War III is currently available for preorder on Steam in three formats: Collector's Edition, Limited Edition, and Standard Edition. The Collector's Edition will include a premium disc book, a lenticular art card, the official soundtrack, a replica of the Godsplitter Daemon Hammer, three mounted cloth faction banners and the Masters of War Skin Pack. The Limited Edition will include the premium disc book, the lenticular art card and the official soundtrack. The Standard Edition is, of course, just the game software.
All editions pre-ordered before the game's release will include the Masters of War Skin Pack, a collection of three cosmetic skins for Dawn of War III's Super Walker Elites – the Dark Queen skin for Lady Solaria (Imperial Knight), the Ghost Seer skin for Farseer Taldeer (Wraithknight) and the Big Kustom skin for Beauty (Morkanaut). Players who do not pre-order will still be able to deploy the three Super Walkers in their original forms.
"We're thrilled to tell fans know that they don't have to wait much longer to return to battle," said Philippe Boulle, Game Director of Dawn of War III. "The whole team can't wait to bring back Dawn of War, bigger and better than ever."
Dawn of War III places players in the escalating brutality of galactic warfare, where they will lead elite hero units and colossal armies to victory, or oblivion. Powerful super walkers will tower over the front lines as screen-shaking assaults blister the battlefield in what Relic Entertainment says is "an all-out, over-the-top spectacle worthy of the iconic Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 universe."
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III is rated "M for Mature" by the ESRB.

Stylus Ranks Top 50 Movies of the New Millenium, Makes Mistakes
The Kill Bill Vol. 2 review contains the line "Hell hath no fury like a woman shot and left for dead," which is pretty close to my previously-published "Hell hath no fury like a pregnant woman shot in the head and left for dead," which I will let slide because any idiot could have come up with that line, as it's pretty much the most obvious blog/web/filmnerd response to either volume of Kill Bill.
My real issues are with some pieces of the list:
- Russian Ark at 14??? Russian Ark is a one-trick pony with just enough muffled historical references to pretend to artistry. I like the formal and visual experience of a single-take movie, but even aware that I missed certain insider Russian-history references, I felt the overpowering hollowness at this film's core. (I might like to remake it, but there's no way it makes my top 50.)
- Elephant doesn't make the top 50??? neither does Morvern Callar? no 28 Days Later?? These are HUGE omissions.
- Underrated: The Pianist, Dancer in the Dark
- Overrated: Far From Heaven, American Splendor (should be closer to the bottom than the top of this list), In The Bedroom, Requiem for a Dream
All that said, most of their Top 10 movies are hard to question as belonging somewhere near the top.

agreed on most counts - american splendor is overrated, dancer in the dark is underrated - but i have to ask about 28 days later. did you really like it that much?
by the way, nice blog. email me so i can tell you how to MAKE MONEY NOW!
- dave said...
I think _28 Days Later_ is pretty much the perfect synthesis of our contemporary fears into a zombie/action/postapocalypse chamber suspense film. the year it came out I had a movie-reviewing gig, and 28DL was #4 on my year-end list, behind only Kill Bill/Elephant (tied for #1) and Lost in Translation at #3. [actually I put Morvern Callar at #4, but this was a cheat; it actually came out the year before]. anyway, yes, 28 Days Later is a spectacular movie. without having done my list yet, my guess is it would probably land somewhere around 15.
by the way, i imagine you'll tell me that the best way to make money is to start a post-shoegaze band or something and sign to your record label. i hear you're making stars over there at Friendly Fire...

Just a Reminder-Shop Closing in June for Our Wedding :)
Hey guys! This has very little to do with business at the moment, but I'm trying to make sure everyone knows-we are getting married June 16th this summer. The shop will be closed down from the 14th through the 22nd and we will be completely out of the country. Since I'm a workaholic I think there's a strong chance I will still be checking emails, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up so you know we're basically unavailable during that time.
This is where we'll be, the Regent Grand Hotel in Turks & Caicos. I'm nervous, and excited-but mostly nervous. The funny thing is, I'm NOT nervous about the wedding. I'm nervous about shutting down business for nearly two weeks! The Etsy shop is fairly easy-we can put it in vacation mode and leave a note for those trying to shop.
But our world wide web site doesn't have a feature to shut down. I'll post vacation notices all over the durn thing. I'll also do a couple posts between now and then about our plans to be gone. In addition if you place orders during that time I will personally write you to let you know we're not around-we can refund immediately if waiting is a problem.
I wish there was an easier way to let folks know the shop will be down, especially if they don't shop regularly with us. If you guys have any ideas let me know! I hate to keep repeating things about the wedding (after all, its got nothing to do with supplies!), but I just don't want anyone to be upset if they go shopping and its about two weeks til they get anything in the mail 😉
Thank you!
One thought on "Just a Reminder-Shop Closing in June for Our Wedding :)"
AWESOME and congrats on your upcoming wedding BUT I secretly (well I guess it's not a secret) hate you for posting the pics and telling us the location 🙂 I'm so excited for you anyway!

Big thanks Norman for taking Lady out for the day. She is such a lovely girl who really deserves her chance now. I think on the evidence of today's trip out it shows she has lots to offer and will fit right in to that special forever home. Fingers crossed that she doesn't have to wait too much longer. Sending her my cuddle tonight. xx
Tuesday 28 Feb 16:09
As Daybreaks longest resident it is nice to sometimes get Lady out and about and have some time out of the kennels (comfy as they are).
Today she has paid a visit to Roy and Michelles field in Snitterfield where she was able to run and play with Bertie Blade and Fred and enjoy all the sights and sounds of the countryside.
In the adjacent field there were several dogs running free having their exercise. Lady took all that in her stride.
Her behaviour while running and playing with the other 3 greys could not be faulted.
Sadly the weather turned wet and very cold so we were forced reluctantly(!!)to the local pub where the log fire warmed both humans and greys alike. Again although her first pub visit she behaved well.
After 4 months in kennels this attractive enigmatic girl with the best pointy ears you will ever see deserves to find her permanent home.
Friday 24 Feb 07:01
Please prospective owners don't rule out a dog that may appear lively in the kennels most dogs will soon settle once a lead has been put on and they are out and about on a walk with lots of interesting things to see and smell! This girl has waited far too long for her sofa.
Monday 20 Feb 21:34
Lady came out for a walk with us on Saturday and was a treat to be with. She is a delightful hound and should really have a proper home by now. Quite difficult to understand why she is still at DB.
Monday 20 Feb 18:39
Lady, you get a double cuddle from me today beautiful girl xxxxxx
Sunday 19 Feb 18:43
I agree, this beautiful girl has waited far too long for a loving home, she is absolutely wonderful and so desperately needs a home to call her own, please, please somebody give this angel a chance xxxxx
Sunday 19 Feb 15:49

Saturday 28 Jan 21:24
Oh Lady my lovely, such a shame. However I'm convinced that the right home for everyone is out there, sometimes it just takes a little longer than we would like. In the meantime you and your best pal Peggy can carry on looking out for each other and enjoying each other's company. Keep smiling lovely girl, it will happen for you. Xx
Saturday 28 Jan 20:54
Oh dear me Lady what are we to do to find you your forever home. I really thought this was it but it has to be right for everyone. I know there is a sofa out there for you somewhere. See you on Thursday for my kisses xx
Saturday 28 Jan 19:54
Oh lovely Lady we we're all so very sad when you didn't like our crazy Daisy as we were all so looking forward to you joining our family, especially as you've been waiting for such a long time. I really hope you find a forever home really soon but maybe without a big hairy crazy dog to confuse you. It was lovely to meet you and we will all keep our fingers and toes crossed that you find a home very soon. I hope you enjoy the sardines we left for you all. We met Jingle today too who was on the same crazy wave length as Daisy and they hit it off which was lovely so she has come to stay with us now. Great big hugs little Princess xx

Monday 23 Jan 01:43
Wow, it looks like Lady has her very own fan club filled with lots of love. I will keep you all posted as to what she gets up to and I'm sure Lady would love to have a catch up on the beach if anyone is passing through and wants a cuddle with her :) .
Sunday 22 Jan 20:49
My darling daughter, I positively skipped through my walk today at the good news. My human mum and I have had many chats and debates about you over the past few months. As your brothers all got snapped up so quickly we were very upset that you continued to wait, then wait some more. We decided that whilst I will always be your Daddy I might not be the best animal parent as since the loss of my 2 stepbrothers I have become a very spoiled mummys boy and I'm not sure I would be happy to share her again. I am so pleased that I got to meet you, as well as my sons, and I am very proud that your Mother, Candonomore, and I created such handsome babies with lovely characters. My Mummy and I both wish you the wonderful retirement you deserve and pray that your new home will be full of love, fun, adventures but most importantly commitment for the next 11+ years. Maybe they will post an update on how you are settling in. Much love my little girl. Daddy xxxxxxxx
Sunday 22 Jan 20:48
Oh my goodness, only just logged on & read the FAB news. Can't wait to see your first family photo Lady. Biggest hugs to You gorgeous & your very, VERY lucky new family xxxx
Sunday 22 Jan 19:44
Oh Pam this is so lovely to read, brought a tear to my eye !! Good luck lady, you have been so patient xx
Sunday 22 Jan 19:21
So happy for lorrainewsm and Lady. I did their original homecheck when they lived in Birmingham. They adopted Penny who went to live with their mixed breed dog Copper who passed away at the ripe old age of 16. We went to see them in Somerset where our greys ran on the beach with Penny and Copper. Penny helped us at Crufts.
Lorraine contacted me last night through Maisie's facebook page, which she is following, hoping that I was who I was!!! They had lost Ruby last year, who also came from us, and were finding that they had a greyhound shaped hole in their family. Loraine had fallen in love with Lady on our website. Lets hope things work out well, Lady will have a fantastic home.
Sunday 22 Jan 18:36
Lady I am so pleased for you as I know you are going to a lovely home. We are often in Somerset on holiday with Paddy so we will keep an eye open for you. I will see you on Thursday for our usual cuddle before you head off for your forever home. Thanks Lorrainewsm you have a real gem there xxx

Tuesday 17 Jan 20:18
Many of our volunteers and helpers at Daybreaks always have our favourite kennel friends, a boy or girl who we take a particular interest in and follow more closely than all the other beauties. Its no secret that little Lady is very much my favourite and I am very sad for her and at the same time amazed that she hasn't been snapped up right away. I cannot understand why she has waited so long as she always greets me with a kiss and cuddle whenever I visit. I'm keeping everything crossed for her for as much as I love to see her I'd like it to be as a much loved pet as soon as possible. Please somebody give this little poppet the home she so deserves xx
Tuesday 17 Jan 19:33
Such a shame for Lady but it has to be right to work. I feel for the family concerned. I'm sure another sofa will come along soon.
Monday 16 Jan 19:24
So upset to hear about Lady. Our hearts go out to her xxx
Monday 16 Jan 18:37
oh my baby girl i can,t wait to see your lovely face again and you will get that sofa i promise xxxx
Monday 16 Jan 07:53
Hi beautiful Lady, You my gorgeous girl just have to get our big family cuddle today. I had the pleasure of meeting you a couple of months ago as Uncle Norman brought you back from a trip to the park and you melted my heart as you gently put your head on my lap for a snuggle. We're keeping fingers & paws crossed that your new family (although they don't know it yet!) are soon to walk through the new Daybreaks gate and their hearts will melt too. xxxx
Sunday 15 Jan 22:33
My cuddle for Lady tonight. Xxx
Sunday 15 Jan 19:35
Oh poppet I'm so disappointed to see you back at the kennels after waiting so long for your forever home I really hope another comes your way soon Big hugs to you gorgeous x x
Sunday 15 Jan 19:33
So sorry for Lady, she's an absolute sweetie, hope her special forever family is just around the corner xxxx
Sunday 15 Jan 19:26
Lots of love to u Lady love u lots Mary Xx
Sunday 15 Jan 19:16
Lady was settled back into her kennel next to her good friend Peggy. Happy waggy tails all round. Xxx
Sunday 15 Jan 18:27
It's been a late finish for us today as Lady has just been returned after being homed this afternoon. Her new owner was understandably too upset to bring her into the kennels but felt is was the right decision which we support. A family member told us that she had become very excited in the garden and frightened the younger family members because of this.
Lady is our longest stayer and we are desperate to find this little girl a home. If you would like more information about her, please do not hesitate to give us a call at the kennels.
Wednesday 11 Jan 22:28
So very pleased to see that Lady has found her forever home. Lady spent Christmas and the New Year being fostered in our home and she was golden. We are just so happy for her. Much love to her new owners xxxxx
Monday 09 Jan 18:39
lovely lovely lady your family are soooooo lucky to have you ,will miss your lovely happy face havde a wonderful life xxxxxxxx
Sunday 08 Jan 22:43
Great news for Lady...desperately hope her friend Peggy will soon be reserved too. Xxx
Sunday 08 Jan 20:50
Really pleased for you Lady. Such a pretty girl.
Sunday 08 Jan 20:00
Brilliant to see that red sign, Lady - well done! xx
Sunday 08 Jan 17:38
Yes ! Yes ! Yes !!! A lovely much deserved RED sign finally for gorgeous Lady You've made my day sweetheart Sooo happy for you Big hugs and a sigh of relief from me Be happy :) x x
Sunday 08 Jan 17:13
So pleased for Lady, she is a super little girl xxxx
Sunday 08 Jan 16:54
Fab to see that your sign has turned red Lady. You're such a little stunner and we're so pleased that a family have fallen for you beautiful. Look forward to seeing your first family photo. Big hugs xxxx
Friday 06 Jan 19:18
End of a shorter working week than normal, but Lady and Peggy have been golden. So 3 full working days in the house on their own and they have been brilliant - nothing destroyed and no mess! Lady just needs some fuss, food and a garden - she really is a lovely girl!
Tuesday 03 Jan 18:42
Well, what a little star this girl is! Having never been in home before she has quickly settled into home life. Today came the first "back to work" test - five hours for Lady (and Peggy) in the home today and they were amazing! She would benefit from a room with a view as she loves to watch the squirrels and birds, but she is such a good girl and gave us the most amazing welcome when we came home. She is so full of life and just needs a loving home (and a garden with squirrels and birds would be very nice too!!)
Sunday 01 Jan 09:47
As well as having lots of fun with us, Lady has "passed a number of tests with flying colours!". An evening was spent with a lovely but lively little dog - she showed initial interest but then just relaxed and sat down. Four young children in the house last night, including two two-year olds and we can confirm she is wonderful with children too. New Year fireworks were once again no problem. Cats - well if you have a cat Lady probably isn't the dog for you. Lady is gorgeous and she just needs your love!!! To view her in our home please contact the kennels asap xxx
Friday 30 Dec 16:03
The lovely Lady showed another side to herself last night - she has absolutely no problem with fireworks! Someone was celebrating something very local to us and Lady just carried on strolling round the garden, ignored all the bangs and happily watched the display! Please could someone find room in their life for this girl? - kennel life is not for the life for this lovely Lady, she is an absolute dream!
Thursday 29 Dec 09:29
Lady, together with Peggy, has been fostered with us since Christmas Eve. Can't believe how quick she settled in to home life, having never been in a home before! Surprisingly she's already house trained, so no problems there. She's very inquisitive - every open door is an opportunity to explore and loves watching (and chasing!) squirrels and birds in the garden. She stands her ground and can be a little stubborn at times but she's full of fun and really loving. She's fine around children but doesn't seem keen on little dogs that she's seen on walks. Lady would make the perfect pet!!!!
Saturday 24 Dec 20:24
So happy Lady and Peggy will be spending Christmas together in a foster home. Xxx
Saturday 24 Dec 19:34
Message to all fosterers: fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail and fail!
Saturday 24 Dec 17:56
Somebody is going to have a lot of fun this Christmas. Lady & Peggy are great together and I would not be surprised if they didn't make it back to DB.
Saturday 24 Dec 14:23
So pleased to hear Lady & Peggy have been fostered for christmas, enjoy the holiday girls xxxxx
Saturday 24 Dec 13:57
Would be great if they did not come back and stayed with their fosterer. Only saying as this is how I ended up with my gorgeous Max. Transmitting Fail, fail, fail, lol. Xxx
Saturday 24 Dec 13:26
I am over the moon that Lady, our longest stayer, has found a foster home for Christmas. She has gone out with her kennel mate Peggy (Lottie) and both will be back on 2nd January.
Friday 23 Dec 23:25
So pleased Lady enjoyed her trip to the park today. Xxx
Friday 23 Dec 14:52
Little Lady had a lovely walk in Elmdon park this morning, along with Peggy. She was very well behaved and loved watching all the dogs and children playing. She really wanted to play with the dogs off lead! Xxxx
Wednesday 21 Dec 17:41
Little Lady and Peggy will hopefully be joining myself and Mum for a walk in Elmdon park Friday morning. Hopefully they will enjoy some time out of the kennels for a few hours :) xxx
Wednesday 21 Dec 16:29
I so wish that someone would choose this special lady as their companion She's just so loving, full of kisses and great to be with Can't understand why she's still at Daybreaks x :(
Tuesday 20 Dec 08:44
Lady looks such a beauty! Its such a shame she is still waiting...Hopefully your forever home isn't far off. Those ears are just the cutest. Sending you lots of love and a big cuddle Lady xxx
Sunday 11 Dec 07:34
Lady is such a sweetheart, come on people give this girlie a chance, how can anybody resist that beautiful face and those wonderful ears, our grey Jack has got even bigger ears than Lucy and they are a constant source of amusement to us, everybody comments on them, so funny but so cute. Would be lovely to see Lady rehomed in time for christmas xxx
Saturday 10 Dec 20:39
What lovely photos of you Lady... those ears! Oh and that Xmas hat... mmm, don't think you were impressed with that! Big hugs beautiful xxxx
Saturday 03 Dec 23:08
If you are ever in need of a hound to watch tree tops for squirrels, Lady should be your first choice. Not a lot escaped her attention during our walk this morning.
Saturday 03 Dec 22:21
Lady is such a sweet little girl, she is getting on so well with Teddy and Peggy in the big kitchen kennel. Xxx
Friday 02 Dec 18:51
Can't understand why this lovely girlie is still there with those fantastic ears and playful personality Somebody make my weekend and let her choose you to go home with :)) x
Friday 02 Dec 12:13
Lady is such a tiny little thing that the 26" coats are too big for her and she ends up wearing them either round her backside like a skirt or they fall off completely and she is wandering around in just her fur!! She has blossomed into such a playful little thing too, so trying to secure a coat round her is just one huge game! Bless her, she's a real sweetie. x
Tuesday 29 Nov 13:04
Lady has today paid a visit to Emdon Park where she loved meeting the many other breeds of dogs there in a happy whirlwind tail wagging friendly manner with no aggression whatsoever.
She can however get very excited when seeing loose dogs running free off their leads and is keen to join in the fun. Consequently she is probably best suited to a strong handler when walking in the park.
She is a beautiful looking girl who will be a wonderful addition to any family able to give her the active life she will enjoy
Saturday 19 Nov 14:02
Super hound with the best ears ever. Can be bribed with liver cake to do almost anything.
Tuesday 15 Nov 20:02
Had the pleasure of a quick snuggle with gorgeous little Lady earlier, when she brought uncle Norman back from his walk down the lane! She's a little poppet and liked to give and receive fuss. Beautiful. xxxx
Wednesday 02 Nov 18:03
Why has nobody chosen this lovely lively girl? She is such a sweetheart and loves a good cuddle xx
Thursday 20 Oct 17:19
Love this girl. Xxx
Tuesday 18 Oct 23:05
Sara, fantastic new photo of Lady! Xxx
Tuesday 18 Oct 17:04
Lady - those ears!!! Such a lovely new photo of you sweetheart. xx
Sunday 16 Oct 20:57
Lady has the most active ears I've seen on a greyhound. Most enjoyable to take out on a walk and very easy going.
Thursday 06 Oct 21:47
A cuddle for a pretty Lady! Xxx
Thursday 06 Oct 18:04
Such a pretty girl! Looking forward to meeting her. xx
Thursday 06 Oct 11:34
Hello lady, and what a pretty lady you are, wow xxxxxx

Sunday Sunsets
Back at our home in Wyoming we overlooked a large valley and ranch, where this wonderfully old, yet still functional, windmill sat. I could see it was going to be a fantastic evening for a sunset so I drove down to it, crawled under the barbed wire fence and ran out to the windmill. There watching me was three antelope (you may need to click to enlarge to see them). I got just this one picture and then they ran off. I still couldn't believe my luck, the windmill, the stunning sunset, and the antelope. What an evening indeed.
**Also, our son is doing much better. He is still very swelled up and can't breath out of his nose but he is back to his normal self and says the pain is very minimal. Thank you all for your kind thoughts, we appreciate them all!

Little Known Facts About Dextrose Prolotherapy.
There are many inconsistencies in thinking about what components are essential for determining the prognosis. Some of the postulated things present in the literature related to a poor Restoration incorporate higher agony degrees, disability stages, depression, and neck choice of movement, mechanical hyperalgesia, as well as presence of submit-traumatic strain signs.
So what cure selections exist for people who tend not to improve originally and develop Serious agony? Some are told to Reside Along with the soreness even though surgery may be encouraged for Many others. Prolotherapy may very well be an affordable option for this subset of people. When the literature is incredibly constrained in regards to experiments involving prolotherapy for put up-traumatic neck discomfort or whiplash, stories from as early since the 1960's printed in the literature, showed procedure results inside the number of ninety% for this distinct software.

Several practitioners also use a SI joint injection underneath fluoroscopic advice ("live x-ray") or CT guidance to confirm the diagnosis. When the affected individual receives aid of discomfort, although temporary, then remedy is often centered on the SI joint. Non-surgical treatment method possibilities normally include things like corticosteroid injections, manipulative physical therapy, and using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

In health-related conditions, this is the hyperflexion – hyperextension or acceleration-deceleration kind damage. With the forces that cause such a injury, the cervical backbone is believed to link transcend its usual selection of movement and it has the probable to injure the bordering smooth tissue constructions (ligaments) and discs.

For the people clients that uncover Prolotherapy not comfortable, Dr. Fields can also utilize a chilly spray (ethyl Chloride) or maybe a gel of Lidocaine to numb the skin just before the procedure. If additional assist is required, a prescription is usually given for Ultram, Tylenol with codeine or Vicodin.

There are just so many questions we have about nutrition. Whether you are a serious everyday workout kind of person, or if you are the weekend warrior type, there are questions we have about sports nutrition that we need answers to. This is why you need to find yourself a good book, or a good website, that can be an athlete's guide to nutrition.
You want the information to be about sports nutrition. This is important. There are plenty of sites and books out there about health topics. Some are about losing weight, some are about going to an all raw food diet, and there are others in a mix of different topics. All of these are fine and dandy, but you need information specifically about sports nutrition. This way all of the articles, products, pictures, and videos are related to exactly what you are interested in.
One of the questions posed pretty often is this one: Is whey protein better than soy protein? This is a very good question, and I believe it sort of depends on what you are after with a protein powder. One of these gets absorbed much faster than the other, but one also has better health benefits.
Another good topic is how much cardio? Should you do 30 minutes, three to four times a week? Is everyday cardio good for you? What should your heart rate be? You need to know the answers to these questions before you even get started. The last thing you want to do is put in a bunch of time and effort and get no results out of it. This is very depressing, and many people have this happen to them. This is because they are not formally educated in what is needed to get in shape and lose weight. But after a little reading, they will have all of the answers, and will be able to get their program in place.
What about weight training? When you are done working out, what is the best foods to eat to charge back up? And are the sports drinks all they are cracked up to be, or will water work just fine? This information alone can save you $10 - $20 a week, and keep you healthier.
All of these answers and many more can be found with a little research in a tailor specific sports nutrition reference. This can be a book, a website, or even a newsletter. Just ensure it is geared towards your lifestyle, and this will go along with exactly what you are doing.

Romney faces cloudy future
Thu., Nov. 8, 2012
GOP nominee isn't likely to sit still for long
BOSTON – Mitt Romney spent the past six years running for president. After his loss to President Barack Obama, he'll have to chart a different course.
His initial plan: spend time with his family. He has five sons and 18 grandchildren, with a 19th on the way.
"I don't look at postelection to be a time of regrouping. Instead it's a time of forward focus," Romney told reporters aboard his plane Tuesday evening as he returned to Boston after the final campaign stop of his political career. "I have, of course, a family and life important to me, win or lose."
The most visible member of that family – wife Ann Romney – says neither she nor her husband will seek political office again.
"Absolutely he will not run again," she told the hosts of ABC's "The View" in October when asked if a loss would mean the end of Romney's political career. "Nor will I."
Romney's senior advisers refused to speculate publicly about what might be next for their longtime boss. There was a general consensus, however: The 65-year-old Romney is unlikely to retire altogether. But following his defeat, his future role in a divided Republican Party is unclear.
"He's not a guy who's going to stay still, right. He's not a guy that's just going to hit a beach, play a lot of golf. He'll do something," said Russ Schriefer, one of Romney's top strategists.
The Republican presidential nominee spent most of his career in private business. He's run for office four times, and lost all but his bid for Massachusetts governor in 2002. That year, he ran as a moderate Republican who supported abortion rights and struck a conciliatory tone on gay rights and climate change. He also ran for the Senate.
After he decided to run for president, some of those positions changed. In his two presidential campaigns, he ran as an opponent of abortion, advocated amending the Constitution to ban gay marriage and described himself as "severely conservative."
But the Republican Party's most passionate voters never fully embraced him. Romney struggled through a long and nasty primary, losing state contests to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, both of whom had long been sitting on their party's sidelines.
It wasn't immediately clear if Romney will seek an ongoing role in a Republican Party that's embarking upon a period of soul-searching. With a successful career in the private sector, he could secure a position in private business, though he is worth millions and hasn't worked a job with a regular paycheck in more than a decade. Those close to Romney also suggest he could pursue philanthropic opportunities or even play a role in the Olympics after having led the 2002 Winter Games.
Frustrated conservatives may make a full return to politics by Romney, even in a supporting role, difficult on the national stage.
"What was presented as discipline by the Romney campaign by staying on one message, the economy, was a strategic error," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List. She argued that Romney handed Obama a victory by failing to focus on a socially conservative agenda.

Manufacturer Provided Description
The Vision 450 is a modern innovative sailing vessel that caters for the cruising fraternity and bare boat charter market. It unique and distinctive lines follows many of the same concepts and styling that the highly successful Silhouette 760 is well known for. Due to its high volume hulls and unique coach roof and decks styling the interior is exceptionally spacious and well appointed. The comfort provided and ergonomics of the entire yacht were carefully studied to give the whole family a pleasant experience and environment to enjoy.
The clean uncluttered decks makes entertaining, sun tanning or storage of water toys possible. The wide transom makes boarding the yacht from a tender easy, or a great place on which to kit up for scuba diving, or simply for kids to play. Throughout the yacht the head room is generous (saloon 6' 8" and cabins 6' 5"). The on board storage is enviable, and even items such a SCUBA tanks and guest suitcases, cockpit cushions that are often over looked are well catered for.
Upon entering the yacht one is immediately becomes conscious of the apparent spaciousness and high head room throughout. Circulating between the generous cockpit, saloon and galley is free & easy. The large saloon windows provide one with a 360 degree view of the surroundings. The recessed vertical forward facing windows give the saloon good sun shielding and add to the feeling of spaciousness. All cabins are large and comfortable with en-suite bath rooms and separate shower cubicles. For noise privacy none of the cabins butt onto one another.
Two standard layouts are available. One version has four cabins and the other three, being the "owner's version". In both the cabins are spacious with large en suite bath rooms with separate showers. The master cabin in the owner's version also has a settee and office desk. The engines are accessed from outside the yacht to reduce odors, noise and inconvenience
For safety and performance the Vision 450 is built from sandwich construction using the latest modern construction techniques and generation materials. For added safety the yacht has sacrificial keels. The wide hulls give the yacht good stability and load carrying capacity. Great importance has been given to make it possible for the yacht to be sailed shorthanded.
Because the Matrix Yachts builds to mega yacht standards it makes the Vision 450 one of the classiest yachts available in her size range.

Every time I had to buy new skincare product, I ended up spending huge amount of time researching for products that did not contain harmful chemicals and would not break my bank. My information largely comes from the non-profit Environmental Work Group. They have tremendous amount of information on many consumer products. Products are rated from a scale of 0-9. 0-2 products are low hazard, 3-6 is moderate and 7-9 is high hazard. I used them to understand the toxicity of consumer products and then compare many online vendors for pricing and product reviews.
Sunscreen is the first topic. I mainly purchase sunscreen that has physical blocking agents (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) rather than chemical blocking agents (for example, oxybenzone is particularly hazardous).
Nearly finished the Beyond Coastal Mineral Sunscreen. It is unfortunately not listed on EWG. Looks like the company may have reformulated or repackaged as Beyond Coastal Natural Sunscreen (a rating of 2 from EWG; $8.99 for 4 oz. or $2.25 per oz.). It is a decent physical sunscreen and repels water really well. It is easy to apply. The only downside is that it does turn a person ghostly white. This is, however, a far superior product then the Goddess Garden Natural Sunscreen ($12.79 for 3.4 oz. or $3.76 per oz.; with an EWG rating of 2 as well). The products left white specks grains on the skin and it was curdly. It was difficult to use and did not smell particularly pleasant. Vanicream ($14.95 for 4 oz. or $3.73 per oz.; EWG rating of 2) is excellent as well. It is very easy to apply and does not turn the person white. It does feel greasier on the skin.
Of course, there are other brands that are very good. Badger sunscreen ($14.19 for 2.9 oz. or $4.89 per oz.; EWG rating of 1), California Baby ($17.99 for 2.9oz. or $6.20 per oz.; EWG rating of 1 or 2) are all excellent products, and they are at the pricey end for me.

Wonder what that title made you think of?!
Almost 3 Saturdays ago, I was listening to the radio early that morning. We were on our way to a mother/daughter tea. This woman being interviewed caught my attention...at first not because of what she was saying, but because of her voice. Her voice was so proper and I was trying to peg where she was from.
For those that know me, still most don't know that I love, love, love accents (along with food). Well, I never caught where she was from, but by that point what she was talking about had caught my ear...Homeschooling thru Highschool.
How to use the Bible, Math Curriculum, and a library card to do ALL your homeschooling from K - 12.
There were a couple of reasons this caught my attention. One was, that was not the first time I had heard that concept. Hmmmmm where had I heard that before? It goes back to what we are GOING BACK to. For one year we used this curriculum called SOW. Student of the word SOW . Everything, except your math comes from the Bible. We used that and that was our BEST year of homeschooling ever.
Why did I stop? Naysayers!!! It's as simple as that. Friends and family alike said, there is no way you can use the Bible to teach your children. You'll ruin them and their education will amount to nothing and they will never be able to attend any college.Well, stupid me, pleasing man rather than God, changed the curriculum and I've been searching for the right one ever since.
Well, 4 weeks ago, it was like the Lord said to me as I was driving home...What are you doing? I said Lord if you just show me how to teach my children and what to teach them, I will obey. He said...I already did and you didn't obey, so what are you wanting me to show you? So I drove about 10 min. more and then the light bulb went off. Ohhhhhhhhh You mean that?! You really want me to go back to that? I can do that.
So when I got paid, after taking out my tithes and before paying any bills, I ordered the remaining 2-6 volume. (and I've been checking the mail every day ever since) We will use the Apologia Science and the book Keeping a Nature Journal to supplement science, Teaching Textbooks math curriculum, TruthQuest to supplement history, and finally Rosetta stone for foreign language (Latin/Spanish).
Bible will be the MAIN focus and we have two library cards (Terrell & Mesquite). I'm excited, they are leery (and I totally understand, we've changed so much since first using SOW). However, they all agree as well that, that was the BEST year we had!!!
So if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!
She had many key points for me. I will try to put them all here and pray you don't get bored. The one that was the most interesting and intriguing to me, was one I've been saying lately over the last 6 months or so. "Who cares if your child goes to Harvard if they are going to hell? I would rather have a godly garbage collector than an ungodly brain surgeon." And you know what, I feel the exact same way.
She said "Readers succeed, non-readers don't." That is something I've been telling my children...just not in those exact words. I believe that if they can read, there is nothing they can't do. They can pick up ANY book that any teacher, professor, etc. can pick up and learn ANYTHING their hearts desire to know.
She, I keep saying she but gave no name; Carole Seid Joy, spoke about television. Now even though I have one of these time wasters in my home, we very seldom watch it. She said after watching a show, ask yourself-Did it bring you closer to Jesus?
According to a study she had, television is directly linked to ADD. Hmmmmmmm, you know when I was little we seemed to stay outside. Now you have to pry children away from tv and video games to get them outside. Read: Amusing Ourselve to Death, by Neil Postman.
I wish I could tell you everything, but I wouldn't do it justice. She gave some statistics such as,
91% (2002) of children in the church who claimed to be born again, do NOT believe there is absolute truth.
82% of homeschooled children plan to homeschool their children.
Anyway, she is an advocate of reading. As am I. I LOVE books and if you put me in a bookstore or library, I start drooling all over myself! LOL
She, like Dr. Raymond Moore (Better late than early), does not believe in rushing academics. She wants parents to read to their children. I love reading to mine!!!!
Anyway, she gave a list of books that she recommended. Sorry, she asked that we not make copies of those lists. She also gave a typical daily schedule...that I can share.
Quiet time for mama
Kids up-dress, make bed, etc.
Handwriting (she recommended Italic workbook, or journaling)
Break (eat some type of protein to help with energy)
History with literature - mom reads and kidlets illustrate during this time
1 hour of COMPLETE sacred quietness-pray, sleep, read, think (one of these but no talking)
Nature walk-2 times a week/Science for those days not doing nature walk
Freetime - listen to classical music, prepare dinner, gardening, baking, sewing, scrapbooking, music lessons, community work, etc.
45 min. before dad arrives-clean the castle
Carole said high schoolers can keep track of their own lessons, writing in a lesson plan daily what they have accomplished. don't use grades, colleges don't really look at those. Use pass/fail or credit/no credit (google carnegie credits). High schoolers should write their first term paper in their first year and 2 in their second year. When filling out college applications, add reading lists of all books read and a resume detailing every activity.
There is no way for me to get it all in this blog, so if you think of something, leave me a comment and I'll look through my notes to see if she had anything to say pertaining to that question.
I'm excited and ready, surprisingly so are my kidlets. I'll keep you posted.

This is an application for a K23 award for Dr. Enrico Novelli, a Hematologist, Assistant Professor in the Tenure Stream in the Department of Medicine and Director of the University of Pittsburgh Adult Sickle Cell Anemia Program. Dr. Novelli is establishing himself as an academic leader in the field of benign hematology with a specific focus on translational research in sickle cell disease and hemostasis. Dr. Novelli has prior extensive research experiences in hematology and has been successful in obtaining research awards for his studies on SCD. He has assembled a multidisciplinary team of mentors and advisors to guide his career towards independence and to assist with the completion of the research proposed in this application. This grant will be critical to achieve the following career objectives: (1) to develop expertise in laboratory methodologies crucial to the conduct of translational research in SCD;(2) to gain further in-depth knowledge of clinical trial design and biostatistics fundamental in the investigation of human disease;and (3) to become an expert in the vascular biology of SCD. He plans to complement his research activity with the completion of a Master of Science in Clinical Research sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh, with participation in scheduled training activities on grant writing and responsible conduct of research, and with attendance to international meetings in his areas of interest. By the end of the funding period of this K23 award, he will have several first-authored peer-reviewed publications and a critical mass of data that will form the core of an RO1 or other equivalent grant. The focus of this application is on the vascular biology of SCD. In SCD, mutant hemoglobin S polymerizes when deoxygenated, driving red blood cell (RBC)-dependent vaso-occlusion and hemolysis. These processes lead to platelet and hemostatic activation, pulmonary hypertension and vascular disease. Transgenic-knockout sickle (BERK) mice that express exclusively human ?- and ?S-globins mimic SCD in humans by displaying reduced NO bioavailability, impaired NO-mediated vascular reactivity and pulmonary hypertension. Recently, the platelet ?-granule protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) was found to potently inhibits physiologic NO signaling, via binding to the cell surface receptor CD47. Preliminary data from Dr. Novelli now demonstrate that circulating TSP1 levels are increased in the plasma of patients with SCD. Preclinical studies supporting this proposal also show that the specific TSP1-CD47 ligand receptor interaction not only inhibits NO signaling in endothelial cells, but also increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and endothelin A (ETA) receptor expression in smooth muscle, both canonical vasoconstrictive and mitogenic pathological signaling pathways contributing to pulmonary hypertension. Extensive preliminary data using chimera cross transplantation systems confirm that CD47 is critical in the development of PH in the transgenic sickle cell mouse. These findings inform the grant's overarching hypothesis that during platelet activation in patients with SCD, increases in circulating plasma levels of TSP1, via binding to the CD47 receptor, disrupt pulmonary vascular endothelial NO production and stimulate smooth muscle ROS production and endothelin 1 signaling, which lead to pulmonary hypertension in murine models and human subjects with SCD. This grant will also explore the hypothesis that therapeutic disruption of the TSP1-CD47 ligand-receptor interaction will both prevent and reverse pulmonary hypertension in SCD. This hypothesis will be tested via the following aims: (1) to examine for the first time whether plasma from human subjects with SCD TSP1 levels in the plasma of patients with SCD disrupt the vasodilator/vasoconstrictor balance in endothelium and smooth muscle by inhibition of NO signaling and increasing ROS and ETA levels;(2) to employ unique mutant murine models to determine the role of circulating TSP1 and CD47 in SCD-associated vasculopathy and pulmonary hypertension, and test the therapeutic efficacy of blocking TSP1-CD47 to prevent/mitigate SCD-based pulmonary hypertension;and (3) to test TSP1 levels in several large cohorts of patients with SCD and explore the correlation of TSP1 with platelet activation, pulmonary hypertension and vascular disease. This proposal is strengthened by the complementary and rich tool set used to investigate the hypothesis, the vast resources available within the Vascular Medicine Institute, a state of the art facility within the University of Pittsburgh devoted to the study of vascular biology, and captures the pioneering work of Dr. Novelli's mentors in defining hemolysis in the pathophysiology of SCD (Dr. Mark Gladwin's lab) and the TSP1-CD47 nexus as an upstream regulator of NO signaling (Dr. Jeff Isenberg's lab). Definition of this pathway will therefore present a novel therapeutic target for the vascular complications of SCD.
There is a critical need to elucidate the vascular pathology of sickle cell disease so that new therapeutic approaches can be developed for this orphan disease. The K23 funding mechanism will provide the candidate with a unique set of skills and expertise in the vascular biology of sickle cell disease, nitric oxide metabolism, measurement of oxidative stress and translation of research findings from bench to bedside.
