text: I always had the belief that a lawn should be de-thatched every 3-4 years to help it stay healthy. Some recent conversations with folks who know more about this than me tend to disagree; they say don't de-thatch until you have a 3/4" buildup of thatch extending into the soil. What do you guys think? Will premature de-thatching hurt the lawn or is it just a waste of time? Are you better off not to thatch?

I have a crush on a guy in my pe class. He's cute, athletic and nice. But i feel kinda silly having a crush on someone im just aquanted with. I catch his glance a lot and I've spoken to him a few times breifly but thats it. Should i just straight up ask him if he has a girlfriend so i can get over him? Im getting a bit frustrated with my little crush :(
Most Helpful Guy
how about ask him to have lunch with you or go on a date.00|00|0
Thank you for the advice. Is there a good way to causally ask?
maybe as you are leaving class for the lockerrooms ask him to eat lunch with you today... unless PE is after lunch then ask him to hang out after school/practice if you or he are in sports

Firmoo is an online company that sells frames and lenses for men and women, in prescription and non-prescription, and sunglasses as well. They have a wide variety frames, colors and sizes to choose from as well.
Because it's better if you hear the review from the person who actually is enjoying the glasses, I thought you'd enjoy a little video from the famous, Mr. Running With The Girls, otherwise, known as Ward.
Ward was impressed with the ease of ordering his glasses. Inputting his prescription information was easy to do. He has been quite happy with his glasses.
Honestly, I like his glasses. When we first met, he had some that were similar and I thought he was pretty hot wearing them. Although, I think he should have tried out the virtual try-on tool, but they are just a little bit too wide for his incredibly narrow face. Next time he orders some glasses, he is going to use the tool. And yes, he is going to order more glasses. He has already picked out several pairs he likes and at the prices Firmoo has, we can definitely afford it.
|The virtual try-on tool at Firmoo -
so easy to use, you can even upload your own photo.
The old opinion that glasses
are only necessities for people with vision problems has already gone. Glasses are increasingly becoming a fad and must-have accessories for celebs and fashionistas. Everyday we can spot millions of non prescription glasses wearers and we are constantly fascinated by many noted film stars' signature non prescription glasses.They instantly upgrade your look of modern,sexy, vintage or geek by wearing different styles of frames.
Any hot glasses/sunglasses /
goggles frames you want can be found on Firmoo, and all are available for both prescription lenses and non- prescription lenses. Are you desperate to have a new look? Now here is the chance, Firmoo has launched a First Pair Free Program to people worldwide. You will absolutely fall in love with the excellent quality, affordable prices, fashionable designs, fast delivery and the good service after trying them with paying shipping only! You even can get a refund/exchange if you are not satisfied with them. It's totally Risk free, so why not have a try?
Are you interested in getting some glasses? Firmoo has a program that offers your first pair for free. Just head over to their link and check it out.
Disclaimer: Ward was sent a pair of glasses for the purpose of a review. All opinions expressed in this post and vlog are 100% our own.

What is a Stock Exchange Market?Monday, August 29th, 2011
Stocks and securities are traded through an entity called as stock exchange market. Using a stock exchange market is the method in which shareholders or companies issue and redeem securities, pay dividends or income or deal with other financial securities. There are various types of securities traded on a stock exchange market, such as commodities, pooled investment products (banks – mutual funds or retirement holdings), stocks, and company issued shares.
In order for securities to be traded on a stock exchange market, they need to be listed. The massive electronic network now known as the modern stock exchange market allows for instantaneous sales, purchase and trades.
Supply and demand is the very basic idea behind the modern stock exchange market. Simply put, the more demand there is for a stock, the more it will be worth. This is one of the ways in which prices for stocks are determined and depending on this demand, prices of those stocks may rise or fall. Other factors also affect the price of stocks.
If a company needs to obtain some sort of financing to expand their business or fund operation of the company, one way for them to get capital is to sell shares or stocks in their company. Purchasers of this stock are called investors. When the company makes a profit, it pays a portion of the profit to the investors or shareholders. These payments are known as dividends.
There are essentially two methods in which stocks can be traded. One method is within a physical location using verbal trading, the other is the modern electronic method. There are not a lot of people who actually trade in a physical location, it is much more prevalent to trade in the stock exchange market online through a brokerage site. Using this method means that you will pay a fee for each trade, or you may pay one fee for a certain number of allowable trades per month.

For a lot of Harry Potter fans, J.K. Rowling's words have helped in hard times. Still, I can't begin to imagine what Cassidy Stay has suffered.
The 15-year-old survived the shooting that left her whole family dead, but found hope in Albus Dumbledore, whom she quoted at their memorial service.
J.K. Rowling heard about Cassidy's tragedy - and her undying love of Harry Potter - and responded in the kindest way.
She wrote Cassidy Stay a handwritten acceptance letter to Hogwarts (in Dumbledore's signature purple ink), including a wand and an autographed copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Nothing can bring Cassidy's family back, but J.K. Rowling's letter has shown that magic remains. This simple act of kindness will not be forgotten.

Family Stories
Travis Johns was born in the State of Virginia in 1813. From his birth to 1870, there is nothing in writing, nor is there any other mention of Travis Johns. In 1854 and 1860, before African Americans were recorded on county census in 1870, Travis had two children born in Texas. There is no information on the mother of these two children, other than that she was born in Virginia.
In 1870, Travis was 57 years old, with a 24-year old child bride. Sally, his bride, was born in 1848, in South Carolina. The marriage took place in Texas. No previous plantation owner name or parents have been recorded for Sally. Sally bore three healthy sons for Travis. Sometime after the birth of the third son, it is believed that Travis died, because there is no other mention of him.
In 1900, Sally was a 52-year old widow of the late Jim Powell, Sr. The couple had five children. Four of these children were still living at home.
Grandpa Travis and Grandma Sally were my ascending grandparents through my mother.
Mary Bankam was a Cherokee Indian born in the District of Columbia in September, 1825. She was transported (bought) from the Indian Reservation and taken back to Maine by the slave master to the place where her parents were born.
Mary was later transported (bought) and taken into Georgia before finally coming to a place that would later be known as Beckville, Panola County, Texas, by slave master Jones.
This information is recorded and has been passed down through the years by generations. The name of the Cherokee Indian Reservation is listed in the old family Bible, but illegible.
Mary Bankam is my ascending grandmother on my father's side. In 1870, Mary was living in Panola County as a 45-year old woman married to 50-year old Thomas Bankam. Thomas was born about 1820. There were seven children living in the home, ages 2-15 years.
By 1900 there is no listing of Thomas Bankam. Mary's last name was Jefferson; she lived in the home of her oldest son, Henry Rogers. Henry was a 45-year old widower with three children ages 7 to 15 years living in the home. The children's mother was born in Texas. Henry's 8-year old grand-nephew, Tom Horn, also lived in the home.
One-hundred-seventy-one (171) years since the birth of Grandma Mary Bankam, there is still a water spring in Beckville that descendants remember as the Mary Bankam Spring.
Shortly before Mary's death, she fell into a fire and died sometime later. Mary's daughter-in-law, Dovie Jones, made the shroud that Grandma Mary was laid to rest in.
Grandma Mary is my ascending grandmother, through my father.
Mary Rowlett was born May, 1825, in the State of Virginia. To begin a new life, Mary traveled through many States. She began in Virginia. By 1843 she was in Carthage, Leake County, Mississippi. This is where she gave birth to her first son.
In 1870, Grandma Mary was a 40-year old widow. Slavery was a way of life. No other plantation name had been recorded for Mary, nor a first name for her husband, although it is revealed that she was married.
Mary was the head of the house with three young children to raise. She had given birth to six children. By the time her youngest child, Jane, was born in 1863, her oldest child, Lewis, was already married with a family of his own.
In 1880, Mary was a 50-year old retired widow. She, her daughter Jane and Jane's child, a 17-year old, lived in the home of Mary's fifth son, Julius, and his wife, Joanna Gray.
By 1900, Mary was 70+ living in the home of Jane. Jane was a 37-year old single mother of one child. Jefferson, her son, was 20, single and still living at home.
There are no known family members alive who remember Mr. Rowlett or if any of his sons were named for him.
There are no records reflecting the death of Grandma Mary, but it is well known that her children took very good care of her.
Grandma Mary is my ascending grandmother, through my mother.

Welcome to this fantastic giveaway hop hosted by Lisa Loves Literature and I Am A Reader, Not a Writer. This book giveaway hop is a little different because it celebrates sequels. This means that you don't get to pick the first book in a series. Nope–don't even try it! I have some Amish sequels I will be reading this month and next month, but I have to admit that the only sequel on my mind is the next book that follows Scarlet. I love Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles, and I can hardly wait till the next book comes out! I always love talking about her since she lives so near where I grew up–essentially down the street.
When it comes to sequels, I find that very often, they are better, but once in a while, they don't live up to the hype. No matter–one of my wonderful international readers will get to win a sequel the is $10 or less, and all you need to do is enter the rafflecopter below by 9 P.M. Pacific time on September 9. You will also need to make sure that Book Depository, Fish Pond, and/or Amazon ship to you. I also buy books on half.com if you live in the U.S. That opens up more options when you can buy a used book. After you enter my giveaway, be sure to hop on!

miki recently posted…August 2013, monthly wrap up post
I love sequels that feature small towns. It's always super fun to go and "visit" them again, especially since there are wonderful secondary characters you get to meet that show up again in sequels. One of my favorite is Susan Mallery and her Fool's Gold series.
Definitely Shine by Jeri Ready!! Loved the first two – the characters were awesome and I loved the ghosts:))
Thank you:)
I'd love to get my hands on deception, it came out last month and I'm dying to read it.
I feel like sequels really make or break a trilogy/series. They're the pivotal point in which you decide whether the second book of this series/trilogy lives up to your expectations or not. If not, then you might not even consider moving on to the next book if there is one. A lot of authors nowadays stretch out series so much that it doesn't feel necessary that there be a sequel in the first place or a trilogy/series. That's why sequels are a make or break kind of thing for me, they tend to be really disappointing sometimes but sometimes, they blow my mind!
I like the Hunger Games real cool.
I want to read Mary Ellis book – A Little Bit of Charm
I really liked the "Close Kin" book of the "Hallow Kingdom" series, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on an actual copy of it.
Brittney recently posted…Wilderness Family Photos (Post 3 of 7) – Maternity Family Photos
I just finished The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson and it was a fantastic sequel!
I'm so excited for Allegiant by Veronica Roth and Crash into You by Katie McGarry 🙂
Lacey T recently posted…Review: The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson
I really can't wait to read The Fiery Heart! It will be amazing like all of Richelle Mead's other books.
I think my favourite sequel is The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood. It's the second book in a series and I've found a lot of second books are kind of meh. But this one was exceptionally written and more interesting than the first.
Sequel I'd like to read next is Unhinged by A.G. Howard (a tale that's a spin off of the classic Alice & Wonderland!!!)
Thanks for sharing the hop and the giveaway. evamillien at gmail dot com
Thanks for the giveaway! I really like the Infernal Devices series. <3
I love Insurgent! And I can't wait for Allegiant. 🙂
I like Mind Games too and am looking forward to Perfect Lies.
I absolutely loved Shadows, the sequel to Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick. It was just so tense and raw and actually had me afraid to continue reading. Definitely can't wait for the final book to come out in the fall!
Sequels I'm looking forward to reading are Ritual Magic by Eileen Wilks and Chimes at Midnight by Seanan McGuire. I love both of the series and can't wait to read them both.
I have lots that I want.I read False Prince and enjoyed it.Definitely,I want its sequel.Also Also Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children,cant wait for the next book.
Almost every book as a sequel now. I dont know if it is considered a sequel but I love Losing Hope which is Holder's point of view from the book Hopeless. I love Point of Retreat 2 books in slammed series, I love Beautiful Bitch, sequel to Beautiful Bastard. Too many to list. Thanks
Sequels… What can I say? I love sequels. I really do. I always say that I want more standalones, but then I read a great standalone and I am desperate for a sequel that won't happen. So, yes, I love sequels. But I am always worried about the slump that happens sometimes! Still, most of the time, I am so happy to be immersed back into a world that I have already fell in love with!
like to read sequels
I really want to read Crown of Midnight!
I'm dying to read rebel springs by morgan rhodes, sequel to Falling Kingdom 😀
I'm really enjoying the sequels to Vampire Academy.
love sequels but sometimes when I'm really looking forward to a sequel and it takes about 2 years to be released, I don't read at all because mainly I forgot what even happened in the first book. Really looking forward to Fire With Fire by Jenny Han!
Thanks for the giveaway =)
Catching Fire is my favorite book of THG series, so obviously I'm ridiculously excited for November! 😀
I love sequels because they mean you get to spend more time with characters you love.
Kelly Hashway recently posted…September is For Sequels Giveaway Hop
I do enjoy a story arc or a character's development that is big enough to need a series and not just one book. It is a 50/50 shot if the series lives up to a first book or better yet, if it just keeps getting better and better. My favorite series is Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, but I'm a huge Patricia Briggs fan with several of her series, duos, etc.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I love seeing character progression, as they mature, change, grow-up, learn, etc. A series seems to cover that better with more characters than a single book.
Jay @ Vailia's Page Turner recently posted…Book Tour-Heavenly Hell by Aria Williams + Giveaway!
Personally, I love sequels. Anything to put me back in that world with my beloved characters!
I love if you read a great book and then the sequel comes out and it isgreat and it is fun to read a continuation of the original book and they can even carry it further with grandchildren etc. I like a good sequel.
i like the lord of the rings a
thanks for making this international
I like sequels that are a good continuation of the story not ones that just drag on never giving new information.
Cricket recently posted…The Emblazoned Red by Dawn McCullough White
As far as sequels go, many do not live up to Vol.1 of the series.
I like when sequels do a nice continuation of a series, instead of falling flat on their faces.
Holly Letson recently posted…Delirium (series) by Lauren Oliver
My favorite series was the Hunger Games! I would love to read Scarlet, Dark Triumph, and the Divergent series books! Thanks for this amazing giveaway – I would love to win!
My favorite series is The League by Sherrilyn Kenyon. There are a ton of sequels that I'm looking forward to.
one of my favorite sequels is anne of avonlea from the anne of green gable series, the entire series is wonderful! thank you!
I would love to read Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews. It's part of the Kate Daniels series.
My favorite series is the Hollows by Kim Harrison. Thanks for the giveaway!
I'd really like to read "Scarlet" by Marissa Meyer.
I'm actually reading a sequel right now! It's The Mephisto Mark by Trinity Faegen. It's pretty good. 🙂
Angie F. recently posted…Waiting on Wednesday [46]
My favorite book of all time is a sequel! The third book in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, The Queen of the Damned. I actually read it first before reading the others years and years ago and since have read it three more times.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Michelle @ The True Book Addict recently posted…Cat Thursday: Random funnies
I feel like sequels make me a part of their family. There's nothing better than recurring characters that continue over long series. For me, the best sequels have to be by Jill Shalvis (Lucky Harbor & Animal Magnetism series), Gena Showalter (Lords of the Underworld) and Pamela Palmer (Feral Warriors)!
Thanks for taking part in this hop!
I loved Insurgent, almost as much as Divergent so I can't wait until Allegiant comes out!
Chantelle recently posted…Review: The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon (Chantelle)
I'm really looking forward to the sequel of Written in Red by Anne Bishop – Murder of Crows. WiR is one of the best books I've read in a long time and I neeeeed to read the sequel! Now!
Thanks so much for participating in my first co-hosted giveaway hop!
Lisa Loves Literature recently posted…Shudder Blog Tour Grand Finale Recap Post and Giveaway
I read more series than I can count. Sequels give me the chance to re-visit a world that I have previously fallen in love with.
My Favorite series for this year so far, Divergent Series and I can't wait to Allegiant, really dying to read that
I'm currently reading the second book in the Delirium series, Pandemonium. It's a solid book, but not as good as Delirium :/
Next month I'm planning to read Allegiant, cannot WAIT to finish the Divergent series, it's dead good!
the best sequal I ever read is from the divergent series!
I love fantasy books, my first love to fantasy is Harry Potter books. Next I want to read and watch Game of Thrones. Late I know, but I don't have a chance yet for an engaging read/watch.
Thanks for the chance.
Ashtrie Karana Putrie recently posted…Book Promo! Two Amazing Anthologies from TZPP
I can't really tell the best sequel for me but the one which comes to mind is Insurgent, the sequel of Divergent. I'm looking forward for the final book, Allegiant 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win!
The best sequels i've ever read were the Harry Potter books. I also loved The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jemisin, so I can't wait to read the two sequels in this trilogy.
I'm looking forward to Dark Lycan, the latest installment to Christine Feehan's Dark series.
I am looking forward to reading Freak by Jennifer Hillier. I read Creep last year and really enjoyed it. I won the sequel(Freak) in a giveaway but haven't had a chance to read it yet.
Also, I won Forbidden Sister by VC Andrews(love her books) so if I win a giveaway in this hop, I would choose the sequel, Roxy's Story.
Thanks 🙂
What I'm excited to read next is Allegiant!
Actually I prefer reading books without sequels, I hate waiting.. But now everything is a series so I buy them and
(TRYING TO) wait for the series to end to read them.
Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
I am interested in Crown of Midnight. It has had such great reviews! Or in Scarlett, which has a cool cover! It's hard to choice 🙂 I haven't read the first book though 🙂

I love reading sequels because the author can provide greater depth in character development and world building. I am looking forward to Styxx from the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love sequels because well.. when Lord of the Rings came out I wasn't sure from the first one..but towards the end I knew it would be big.. you become to love and endure the characters.. and to have something that can throw another mix into it like the Lord of the Rings did with the Hobbits.. its amazing.
I love sequels but still like to have a book once in awhile that I know won't have a cliffhanger .. hanging me from a banister.. I like finality also. Thanks for the sweet giveaway hop fun.
I love sequels because I can live trough a book longer than in a stand alone (and usually they've got more action)
I am so excited about the third book in the Divergent series, Allegiant. It is one of my favorite series, and I love how the series has developed. I usually wait until all of the books in a series are out so that I don't have to wait between them, but Divergent was one of those books that I just had to read, and then I had to wait between each book.
Moning's Shadowfever is the best sequel I've ever read. Currently, I'm looking forward to reading MacRieve, Magic Rises and Styxx.
I've read some really great sequels this year. My favorites were Sweet Peril and Unravel Me. Great second books of a series. Thanks for the giveaway!
I think that Cress can not come out soon enough!! It needs to be here already.
I can't wait until next month when Allegiant comes out. I hope it's an epic ending!
Sequels always make me nervous and excited at the same time–excited to read more of the world, but nervous that the sequel won't live up to my expectations and to the first book. But right now I'm just plain excited for The Dream Thieves, because I know Maggie Stiefvater won't let me down 😀
The best sequel I read was Eldest. I absolutely love it!
I absolutely Loved Onyx by Jennifer Armentrout!!!
I love most sequels and my next one to read is Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
I think all three books in Julie Kenner's Stark Trilogy were wonderful!
I'm looking forward to reading The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson. The last book in the trilogy. I just got it todady so I can't wait to read it!
I generally like sequels. I think I like sequels that use the same characters, places, etc., but are still stand-a-lones. These might be like the cozy mysteries – each book is a new story but with the same leading character(s). Other sequels might be, say a family, and each story centers on one of the group, while another book would feature a different lead. Then I guess there are the sequels which really just continue the story from where the last left off – even some of these might be stand-a-lones, but most I'd say need to be read in order, and without missing any so that the whole story is told and comes to a conclusion.
I've read a couple in the 'family' type – two different 'series' in the Love Inspired line – that I've really liked.

Romans 2:12-16 says: For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things contained in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
Romans 1 had established that the Gentiles are in sin and need salvation. The point of chapter two is to show that the Jews likewise are in sin and need salvation just like the Gentiles. The point of the above verses (vv. 12-16) is an amplification of the point in v. 11 (God is no respecter of persons). So, his point is that God will condemn those who sin whether they be Jew or Gentile. Those who sin without the law (Gentiles), God will condemn. Those who sin in the law (Jews), God will condemn.

Notes : C-Sibelia is now in stable version.
Breakage-fusion-bridge (BFB) is a mechanism of genomic instability characterized by the joining and subsequent tearing apart of sister chromatids.
When this process is repeated during multiple rounds of cell division, it leads to patterns of copy number increases of chromosomal segments as well as fold-back inversions where duplicated segments are arranged head-to-head.
This software (BFB) facilitates the analysis of BFB mechanism in genomes.
Selective sweeps leave a detectable signature on the site frequency spectrum. The specific signature, however, depends (among other things) on the time since the sweep begun (t), and on the strength of selection (s). In addition, the demographic history of a population also affects the site frequency spectrum.
SFselect is a method for classifying genomic regions evolving under positive selection, from those evolving neutrally. We consider a "hard sweep" model of natural selection, where a single (novel) beneficial allele sweeps through the population. Our method is based on a form of supervised learning (Support Vector Machines), where the features for learning and classification are given by the scaled Site Frequency Spectrum in a region.
SFselect can be used in different ways:

The new deal means the value-added online service will spring to life once again during IMEX in May, and also at IMEX America in Las Vegas in October.
The colourful, pop-up platform is designed to tell the story of the show as it happens through words, pictures, and videos. The IMEXlive portal will be the first screen that visitors to the IMEX website see during the show, which opens on May 20th at Messe Frankfurt.
Although intended for those who cannot be at the tradeshow, industry reaction to the portal was extremely positive last year. Exhibitors appreciated the added marketing reach and visibility it provided while buyers used it to track key events, show information and news feeds. Images, comments and statistics also provided valuable post-show data for IMEX's Return on Investment (ROI) reporting.
IMEXlive 2014 will be sited on a single platform powered by Postano. It will include live blogging mixed with a 'social media mash-up,' which will combine all #IMEX14 hashtag mentions into an interactive website. Co-sponsors Hilton Worldwide and The Events Network on BOB.tv will provide additional thought leadership and video content. Onsite IMEX Social Team The @IMEXSocialTeam also returns for 2014 with its members on a mission to provide support and encouragement to exhibitors and visitors while also taking entertaining pictures. They will be sponsored by leading mobile-based social photo booth providers, Pixe Social. A photo caption competition will encourage deeper engagement and healthy rivalry between exhibitors and other participants.
Speaking about their decision to support IMEXlive, Mark Komine, Senior Vice President, Head of Sales – Americas of Hilton Worldwide explained: "In our hyper-connected world, we're seeing a merger of online communities with real-world meetings and events. While nothing replaces face-to-face connections, that trend allows virtual experiences like IMEXlive to enhance what is already happening in-person while also expanding and extending the impact of the event. With our view that greater human interaction enriches lives and moves the world forward, Hilton Worldwide is proud to partner with the IMEX team on this programme."
Tony Lorenz, CMM, Co-Founder, BOB.tv added the following: ""The Events Network on BOB.tv is designed to shine a bright light on many of our industry's most important educational moments, making content available to those individuals around the world who simply cannot attend. We are pleased to partner with Hilton Worldwide and IMEX to deliver one of those important moments to the entire industry."
IMEX's Senior Online Community Manager Miguel Neves also shared his thoughts on the project: "The new version of IMEXlive is a major development of the platform and allows us to give the online audience a real taste of the buzz that can be felt on the show floor. IMEXlive combines cutting-edge technology with creative human interaction to create a socially-driven platform that shows the online world what IMEX is all about."
IMEXlive goes live on Tuesday May 21 at www.imex-frankfurt.com and will remain live for one week after the show.
All IMEX participants are invited to join the conversation and contribute by using the show hashtag #IMEX14.

Partial credit for this recipe actually goes to one of Seth's coworkers, who originally mixed the Beet-Horseradish Sauce from my previous post into beef stroganoff! After I made the sauce for Easter, I had waayyy more than I knew what to do with (I cut the recipe in half when I posted it here!). We were giving jars of it away to anyone that would take it. When Seth reported the idea back to me, I knew that was something I wanted to try too, even though I'd never even eaten beef stroganoff before!
The really weird thing about this recipe is the color. Until you stir in the beet sauce, it looks like your average stroganoff, with a lovely shade of brown. As soon as you add the beets though, it turns pink! I like to call this my Breast-Cancer-Awareness Stroganoff. 🙂
It's still delicious though! It's 100% made from scratch, with no gross cream-of-mushroom soup or anything like that. If you've had stroganoff before and didn't like it, I'd still recommend you try this one!
I served it with egg noodles, but I think it would taste good with some potatoes too.
Related Recipe: Beet-Horseradish Sauce
- 1 1/4 pounds cubed beef steak tips or stew meat
- 1 pound white mushrooms wiped clean and quartered
- 2 tsp hot water
- 1 TB dry mustard
- 1 tsp sugar
- Ground black pepper
- 1 TB vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion chopped fine (about 1 cup)
- salt
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 4 tsp all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup white wine or dry vermouth
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4- 1/2 cup beet horseradish sauce
- 1 TB fresh parsley
- Combine beef with soy sauce in a bowl, and let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- While meat marinates, place mushrooms in medium microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave until mushrooms have decreased in volume by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain mushrooms and set aside; discard liquid. Combine water, dry mustard, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in small bowl until smooth paste forms; set aside.
- Pat steak pieces dry with paper towels and season with pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Place steak pieces in skillet and cook until browned on all sides. It should just take a couple minutes, if you cook them too long they may get tough. Transfer meat to large plate and set aside while cooking sauce.
- Add mushrooms, onion, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to skillet and cook until vegetables begin to brown and dark bits form on bottom of pan, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomato paste and flour and cook, stirring constantly, until onions and mushrooms are coated, about 1 minute. Stir in 1/3 cup wine, beef broth, and mustard paste and bring to simmer, scraping ¬bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce has reduced slightly and begun to thicken, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Stir meat and any accumulated juices into thickened sauce and cook until beef has warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let any bubbles subside. Stir in sour cream, beet horseradish sauce, and remaining tablespoon wine; season to taste with salt and pepper. Adjust amount of beet-horseradish sauce as desired. Serve with egg noodles and fresh parsley.

Also a new Apple TV, some Chuck IIs, some Ray-Bans and some new PJs.
VideoPro had a good price on the Sony MDR ZX770BN headphones, so I grabbed a pair.
Also a Raspberry Pi 3, 8MP "NoIR" camera module and a battery backed real-time clock module. Not related to the above, but the Pi3 does have Bluetooth, so I may try getting them to work together.
Let the tinkering begin!
At the moment it's sitting next to one of the computers on a long ethernet cable... will have to see where it works best and if I need a second one or not.
Nice units with good throughput in my experience
I am completely in love with the AirPods I got for Christmas. So freaking amazing.
A pair of Etymotic ER4SR Earphones. A very nice upgrade from my old Shure SE215's.
These UniFi's are the absolute boss. So happy with my single one that covers the whole house! It's positioned in the middle of it which probably helps heaps!
So in other news, I finally got my CTO MacBook Pro 2016 Touch!Man it's beautiful - so nice to use. Haven't quite got used to the touch strip just yet, but it'll come with time I guess!
I'm looking at putting mine up in the ceiling but am debating if I add a second one at the other end of the house or not. As it is it already covers the whole house but I'm getting 35MB/s transfer rates at the front and 2.5MB/s at the back with my 2013 rMBP.
The front of house is where I am 99% of the time (and the kids are at the back) so this works for me and while I could trade off a little speed and improve the back performance I'm tempted to just add a second one out back for speed everywhere!
That said when it goes up in the roof space it will likely change the coverage a little so I might just wait and see what happens (although I'll probably get two cables installed in the roof space at the same time since pulling 1/2 into that space will be virtually the same cost).
Depends on the makeup of your roof/ceiling space. Our sparky at work decided to put one of our Aerohive AP's in the ceiling when he was painting the tiles. He didn't let us know, and as a result the entire office it covered had a huge reduction in coverage and throughput. Though he did put it in the ceiling with the internal antenna's facing up instead of down, LOL so YMMV
Just ordered a Fuji XE2S as a second body and a macro lens
I wouldn't have thought that mounting it in the ceiling was a good idea, on the ceiling yes but not in the actual roof cavity as even the ceiling covering (gib/cement fibre/whatever) that has to be penetrated to let the signal out will degrade it quite a bit.
Yeah he was a muppet for doing it. It's back to normal now
Pick this up today, Now still trying to get the memory sorted.
Purchased back on Jan 5, arrived today direct from a Chinese warehouse.
It's a Xiaomi M365 electric scooter!
Which OS are you going to be running on it? I've been contemplating doing something like this for a while, for when my mac gear isnt adequate for what I want to do (thats not now). I'll be very interested to see how it goes. Do make progress updates
I'd also be very interested in updates on this as I quite simply can't justify the cost of a new Mac configured how I want it so it might be a move back to Linux or Windows for me as the cost is well over $1000 cheaper and much as I love OS X it's not $1000 worth of love....
Grabbed myself a new Silverstone CS380 case for my home server last week. It's great. 8 hot swap bays powered by two ata connectors on the backplane. Upgraded the server OS to Windows Server 2016 too. Currently got about 19TB in there.
Very tidy setup with clean cable routing.
Nice. How would these handle steep hills?
Yeah that was the aim with the case. The last case was too tightly packed so airflow was a problem and this new one has fans directly on the drive bays which is great.

Eleuthero is useful in facilitating testosterone production in men hence increasing sex drive and combating impotence. Panax ginseng is particularly useful in raising sperm count and can therefore be used after eleuthero.

DAVE Watson has told his players that their fate is in their own hands as they strive to force their way into the Second Division play-offs.
Tranmere's much needed 1-0 victory over fifth placed Bristol City on Tuesday closed the gap between Rovers and the top six to five points.
Rovers have 10 games remaining, which is two more than most of their rivals in the top half of the table.
Watson believes that if they make that advantage pay, they will make the play-offs.
"Results went our way on Tuesday and if we get a bit more help from our rivals between now and the end of the season that would be great, but we are not thinking about that," admitted Watson.
"If we win our games then we will get up into the important positions and that is all that matters."
Rovers travel to Port Vale on Saturday and follow up with a trip to Blackpool's Bloomfield Road next Tuesday as the fixtures continue to come thick and fast.

So we've whizzed passed the month mark to Christmas and now it's Black Friday, where the world seems to have gone discount crazy! I've been compiling my perfect Christmas List for a while and since there are a few discounts, not to be missed today, I thought I would share the list- just in case any of you lot wanted to get some shopping done early!
I will continue to add to this list over the next couple of weeks and I'll add more cheeky discounts in where I can too. Every product I have listed below, I own or have tried (hence why it's pretty selective), so I'm not sharing anything that I don't believe in or like. I have bought in to so many products before that bloggers rave about in their round-up lists, only to get the product and be hugely disappointed.
From the health nut to the foodie, to the girl obsessed with patterned work out leggings, hopefully you will find that there's something for everyone!
In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Black Friday and Happy Weekend my friends.
Paleo Books:
This is a small selection of the Paleo books that I own, recommend and love! Each one has its own uniqueness and they are all packed with beautiful food and photography. I get emails a lot from readers asking which books I recommend, well, these are my top 3 books.
The most BEAUTIFUL book! Filled with incredible food photography and recipes any one who's starting out Paleo will be dying to try- crackers, paleo pastry anyone and amazing sauces…It's a big book and worth every penny!
A beautiful book, packed with amazing recipes and lots of interesting information. Perfect for those new to Paleo, or those looking for some great recipes.
I bought this book off Amazon after seeing about 20 different reviews from bloggers writing in utter awe of Jenni Hullet. This will probably be the best book you will ever own. Especially if you have a sweet tooth and are dairy-free / gluten-free or just plain old Paleo. It's rammed with the most mouth-watering cakes. Everything's so beautifully photographed and she writes with such passion and precision.
Organic Beauty:
Because loving what you put on your body is as important as what you put IN to your body!
A lot of the products I use are Green People and I have begun, over the last year or so, to heavily rely on the brand. Green People are the UK's most loved Natural & Organic skin care brand. Sensitive and eczema friendly skin solutions for all the family. They are committed to offering products that are 100% natural, certified organic and highly effective.
Discount: 3 for 2 on everything until 30th November – CLICK HERE
Inika are a beautiful brand, certified organic, vegan, halal, and cruelty-free. Their products are all beautifully packaged and work amazingly on my skin. I have to be careful with a lot of make up products, but these ones really have been the best I have used and ones I buy again and again. Their mineral range of make up is light weight and lasts all day.
The most beautiful and feminine blushers! They last for a very long time as you only need the smallest amount. I am still on my first pot which I got back in March….I wear it most days and there's still over half left.
For Mrs Fitness:
My Protein are not only awesome for practically anything health related (nut butters, vitamins, nuts, dried fruit.etc) but they also have an extensive and really comfortable work out range. I have 2 pairs of their work out leggings and I have already got another 2 on my Xmas list to Santa.
DISCOUNT : Up to 70% off until November 29th CLICK HERE.
DISCOUNT: 25% off all clothing CLICK HERE
Work out leggings: The leggings from My Protein are incredibly comfortable, light weight and look beautiful too! Who wouldn't want to go to the gym sporting a pair of these!
For those that love cooking:
Copper Pans:
There is no greater gift (in my opinion) then a brilliant set of pans. If you are looking for beautiful, sturdy AND affordable pans then look no further than Proware. You can read my review here (and there's a giveaway until December 6th) .
Quite possibly the best Christmas present any one who loves cooking / baking / creating could ever wish for!
Out of all my kitchen utensils, this is the one I use every single day without fail. It does pretty much everything you could ever wish for (except taking the dog for a walk and washing up), is immensely sturdy and looks pretty incredible on the kitchen work top too.
I swear by KitchenAid Food Processor. There are several different styles, colours and different price brackets too (from £124-£389). Click this LINK to go through to the processors.
For the foodie:
What better present for a foodie than food, and all at the click of a button!
Primal Snack Box: (Vegan friendly too!)
Enjoy eating like a modern-day caveman/ woman this Christmas with a beautifully packed box filled with nutritious and delicious goodies.
DISCOUNT: Get 15% off everything by using the code BFRIDAY
Field and Flower Box: (For the Meat Lover)
If you love meat, fish, cheese and condiments, then Field and Flower are the company for you. Design your own box, or choose one already put together, they have an array of incredible produce. Organic, grass-fed, free-range…you name it, they certainly tick all the Paleo Boxes.
Here are my favourites:
2. 3 Bird Roast (Turkey, duck and pheasant)
For the perfect Christmas day dinner, this is a delicious option that will get the whole table talking!
Rawco Coconut Set (coconut oil, coconut butter, coconut aminos)
Rawco are a brilliant company who have literally exploded on to the health scene this year and seem to be going from strength to straight. I think Universe takeover might be next.
OFFER: The rawCo coconut bundle for Black Friday £15 (including UK free delivery) includes all three of their coconut products; coconut oil, coconut flour and coconut amino sauce – three store cupboard essentials to improve your health and well-being and help you create some delicious home-made dishes from scratch. Buy it HERE.
I admit it, I am a nut butter addict. I've been one for about a year now and I've sampled more nut butter pots than I care to admit. Having been lucky enough to sample the delights of nut butter all too often, I have also been able to work out who's nut butter is the best and by best I mean taste AND value!
In firm first place is My Protein's cashew nut butter and almond nut butter. They also do an option for peanut butter – I am mighty sure it's delicious, but I don't eat it.
Smooth or crunchy, eat it straight from the pot, put it in smoothies, make biscuits out of it, give home-made chocolate some excitement…..whatever you choose to do with it I urge you try it.
DISCOUNT : Up to 70% off until November 29th CLICK HERE.
Enjoy, and happy shopping!

Be critical of the digital world
Finding reliable information
Books, journal articles, newspapers and TV programmes are usually reliable sources of information because they have been through an editing process where facts are checked and claims verified. Resources you find in the library or on your reading list are also a very safe place to start your research as they have been selected by your lecturers and librarians.
However, in the real world you can't just rely on traditional printed sources - you will need to use digital sources like websites, online video and social media. To make sure that the ones you choose are good enough quality for your academic work you will need skills in crtically evaluating information. These skills are closely connected to media literacy, critical reading and fact checking.
Evaluating online information
With so much information available online - how do you know what to use?
This video starts to explain how you can know what to trust.
And this video explains some Criteria for evaluating information (Falmouth login required).
Questions to ask yourself when you are choosing information:
- When was it written?
- Who wrote it? What are their credentials?
- Is it accurate? Can you verify it elsewhere?
- Is it peer reviewed?
- Is it objective, or has it been written to persuade?
- Is it a popular or scholarly source?
- Can you make use of the information and put it into context?
Fake News and Fact Checking
Fake News and misinformation are not new, but they can spread much quicker with social media. You can fact check the news yourself before you share it, These guides and the video will show you how.
Fake or real? How to spot check the news and get the facts
First Draft News provide lots of videos and tools to help you verify what you find on Instagram, Facebook, Google, Youtube and more.
Can you spot fake news? Try this Fake News quiz from the BBC.
Find out about the BBC's Reality Check
There are also several fact checking websites including:
Some social media sites are introducing their own fact checking criteria, but there is an argument that it's dangerous to outsource our critical thinking to computers. If you have the skills to check facts and evaluate sources yourself you won't need to rely on others to do it for you.

Each week, Sean Adams will offer up four observations about the Texas Longhorns and college football.
1st Down: Texas is fine!
Every week I do my chat, my radio show and receive e-mail after e-mail and it seems that every Texas Longhorns fan is living in fear of the 2012 season. Listen to me now, hear me tomorrow or pay the consequences this fall -- Texas is fine.
Feel good about the offense. Feel better about the quarterback (David Ash). Feel great about the defense and the commitment of the coaching staff.
Mack Brown has spoiled the Texas fan base and the last few years of things not playing out to expectations has the Texas fan base worried that Brown and his "newish" staff might not be the group to get this turned around.
Here is what I know -- The Longhorns are either going to answer the bell or not. Texas has continued to recruit well, has worked hard in the offseason and has made a commitment to fix problems. They even dipped into the junior college ranks to fill holes on the offensive and defensive lines.
This program needed everyone on the same page from the stem to stern; the program has done what they can to do that.
Now all they have to do is go win.
2nd Down: Texas, in general, should avoid offering sophomores
There are some schools that need to offer sophomores and some schools that do not. Texas is one of the schools in the group that does not.
The "first to market" concept matters. There is a reason that many schools around the country try to be the first, or at least in the first group, of teams to offer a recruit. In order to get in that group, sometimes it takes giving an offer early in the junior year or late in a sophomore year.
The elite group is the schools that are considered the great options. Without disrespect to TCU, which is going to be a great addition to the Big 12, that is a school that needs to do great evaluation and try to be first in the mind for some of the best athletes in the state of Texas.
TCU was able to secure the commitment of one of the best athletes in the 2012 class in Daje Johnson. He was committed to them for a number of months until a better option in Texas came along and he switched his commitment.
Not every school has the luxury of not having to get in the mind of the recruit first. Truth of the matter is recruits have to be made aware, in most cases, of programs and they learn about programs through the recruiting process.
Everyone knows about Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Florida, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, and the other national programs. As in the case with Johnson, their presence will always be there.
3rd Down: General information on offering sophomores
There is a general concept about the more football you watch, the more you know about a recruit. If that concept is true, and I believe it is, what can truly be learned with two more seasons of football to play.
There was a time when seniors were the kids that were recruited. Then there was the spring evaluation period and juniors were offered. Because of the size, strength and speed of high school players, these days many sophomores are finding themselves starting and starring on great high school teams. College coaches are doing their evaluations on players earlier in their career and are deeming them worthy of scholarship offers.
That process seems easy enough. I believe that the earlier you commit to a player, the higher the probability that the player could bust. The earlier you evaluate a player the higher the probability that the player can lose his zeal and passion to be great because he has already received the carrot.
Part of the evaluation process is projecting where a player is going to be by the time they get on your campus. If you are offering a senior, the player is on your campus in six or seven months. If you are offering a junior, the player will be on your campus in 16 to 17 months. If you are offering a sophomore, you are offering someone who won't be on campus for more than two years.
The longer out a coaching staff has to project, the higher the probability that the coach is wrong.
It is a risk.
4th Down: Do you believe Vegas?
As a general rule, I don't bet on sports. Period. In fact I laugh at people that do bet on sports, especially college sports because you are risking your hard-earned money on a player that might have a bad game because his girlfriend sent him a Dear John letter from across the campus.
I do love looking at the odds to get a feel of where the public sentiment is on certain teams and games. According to Las Vegas, Texas will be favored in every game on the 2012 schedule save for two. Texas is listed right now as a three-point dog at Kansas State and a 5.5-point dog against Oklahoma in Dallas.
Does Las Vegas respect Baylor? Baylor is slated right now as an 11-point dog in Austin when they take on Texas.
Side Note: Replacing Robert Griffin III is one of the most interesting stories in the Big 12.

It's time to talk about my November favourite budget buys. When it comes to budget shopping, I'm like a magpie. I love finding things that look much more expensive than they are and I love saving money. So every month I'll be letting you know about the bargains I've found.
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like somebody pressed a fast forward button on November? All of a sudden we've arrived in December and I'm feeling completely unprepared for Christmas. Usually I have most of my Christmas shopping done by now, but I've been so wrapped up with blogging this month that I'm only just starting.
Speaking of blogging, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who's been dropping by to read the blog. I still can't quite believe what google analytics is telling me about my page views for my first month of blogging, but it's awesome and it's all down to you lovely people, so thanks! Uh, let's move on before this turns in to a cringeworthy Oscar acceptance speech.
Right, here we go:
November Favourite Budget Buys
Glass Mason jar with straw, Pound Stretcher, 59p
I thought this would be great for drinking fancy hot chocolates in, with whipped cream and all the trimmings. Maybe even mulled wine. Is it ok to drink mulled wine with a straw? Surely it's acceptable at Christmas? I couldn't believe the price either, such amazing bargain.
Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase, Amazon, £3.85
I love to read, but I've been stuck in a rut reading thrillers forever. This debut novel from Eve Chase, was a welcome change of pace. It's an absorbing mixture of mystery and romance set in present day and the 1960's. There's plenty of suspense, tragedy and unexpected plot twists. If you want to completely lose yourself in an atmospheric book for a couple of days, this is the one. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end and I can't wait for the next novel!
Arctic Fox Faux fur throw, Sainsbury's, £30
I've been on the hunt for one of these for a while, because they are so damn cosy and wintery. However, a lot of the cheaper ones tend to shed their fur (and I already have an extremely fluffy cat to do this). I am happy to confirm that this one doesn't shed, it feels so soft and it's one of the cheapest one's I've seen. It actually had 25% off when I bought it too. It's perfect if you want to add some winter wonderland glam to your living room or bedroom.
Light up advent calendar, Aldi, £8.99
To say I'm slightly obsessed with this advent calendar is an understatement and if you follow me on instagram or twitter you may already know this. It is such nice quality and I just can't get over the price. It's extremely similar to a beautiful Gisela Graham one that is sold at Harrods for over £50 more. I love the fact that although it's an advent calendar, it's also a gorgeous decoration too. Now I need to remember to collect tiny gifts through the year to fill it.
Gingerbread Vinter Candle, Ikea, £2.50
This is basically Christmas in a candle. I love it when candles make your home smell like fresh baking! It has the traditional red Scandi pattern on the glass and smells so festive. It doesn't give off the strongest scent when lit, which given the price I wasn't expecting, so you need to make sure that it's close enough. Then you can enjoy the gingerbready goodness.
White Christmas Cookie tin, Aldi, £6.99
If you bake cookies at Christmas you need this in your life, it comes with the cutest festive stamps and cutters. My son and I bake cookies every Christmas Eve ready for Santa and I'm hoping Santa will appreciate the upgrade this year ; ) The tin is perfect for storing any Christmas leftovers in too.
Elf door, The card factory, £1.99 (in store)
I wish I could have captured the look on my little boys face when he discovered this elf door had arrived at our house. It comes complete with tiny key and magic glitter to let the elf know it's time to move in. I'm doing a unofficial elf on the shelf this year and I also found a countdown to christmas reward chart which seems to be working wonders to get the little monkey to bed on time.
Check scarf, Primark, £5
I couldn't resist including this gorgeous burnt orange check scarf. The fabric is really thick and super soft, making it the most perfect winter scarf. It's a nice long length, so you have the option to wear it in lots of different ways. I like wearing it with my navy peacoat, cream gloves and hat. Bring on the snow please!
These are my favourite budget buys from November! Now I want to know what bargains you've found.
Let me know in the comments below.

Representative Grassley Joins Economic Development Board
Representative Pat Grassley (R-New Hartford) was recently named as an ex officio member of the Iowa Department of Economic Development Board. Grassley, who is chairman of the House Economic Growth / Rebuild Iowa Committee will join Representative Roger Thomas (D-Elkader), Senator Tom Courtney (D-Burlington), and Senator Hubert Houser (R-Carson), as the legislative ex officio members on the Board.
As an ex officio member, Grassley will not possess a vote pertaining to final action that the Board takes. Instead, ex officio members are meant to attend meetings to provide government oversight of state activities and to add legislative input about matters before the Board.
State law provides for the number of board members (15) as well as for the qualifications/requirements must be met for the overall board makeup. For instance, certain areas of expertise must be represented on the Board. These areas include finance, insurance, or investment banking, advanced manufacturing, statewide agriculture, life sciences, small business development, information technology, economics or alternative and renewable energy, labor, marketing, and entrepreneurship. The statute also calls for four legislative ex officio members, of which one individual is named from each party from each chamber of the legislature.
