- Vacation was great, but it was nice to be back in harness. Task planning and Morning Prayer at home.
- The morning was consumed by catch-up conversations with the Archdeacon and the Administrator over various developments during my absence, and then by processing the sizable stacks of snail mail that had piled up on my desk over the last three weeks.
- Lunch from Taco Gringo, eaten at home.
- After lunch, I met for a good while with a finalist for one of our vacant cures.
- Refined and began to "internalize" my homily for this weekend (tomorrow evening at Redeemer, Cairo and Sunday morning at St James', Marion).
- Continued to process (by responding or creating a planned task) a formidable number of emails that appeared when I reconnected to the diocesan email server last night, all of which require some action on my part. (Devoted a good bit of my evening at home to this same work.)
- Evening Prayer in the office.

Hard Decisions
I am thinking of Bjorn and Anton. I just looked at pictures of dog bites in children and oooftah has it affected me. I am thinking that my reasons for wanting to keep Bjorn are selfish. And that's not good. To keep Anton safe from Bjorn I have to keep them separated. That's for at LEAST the next 5 years. No joke. How fun is that? That means Bjorn's away from the family. Listening to us play without him. While he broods in the corner or whines to be with us. And if we want them together, then I have to be literally in between them and make sure neither appears too threatening to the other. It is no fun and very hard work. No wonder I have a headache.
I keep picturing Bjorn at the breeder with all the other toy breeds. Yapping and playing and being dogs together. Bjorn was always a little jumpy around people. When he spent a few months at the breeder's he came back to us confident and more affectionate. He literally rubbed all over us like cats do. I realized that he had adopted that behavior from other dogs. That they were all snuggly and friendly with each other. Puppies together.
I am thinking about whose family is better for Bjorn?
And how would I feel about Anton really getting bitten and living with a scar? I owe him more safety than that.
My reasons for keeping Bjorn are selfish and not good for anyone but my own comfort. He's my teddy bear and I just need to let him go. He was my first "child". I am still in love with him. Still melt at the site of his beautiful face. Still love just the thought of him.
I dunno. I am feeling less guilty as I did a few days ago. No matter how much love or discipline or exercise I give Bjorn, I will never truly be fully confident that he won't try to bite again. If he can bite me, his favorite person in the world, then what could he do to Anton?
What is the more loving thing for me to do for Anton?
Keep him as absolutely safe as I can.
What is the more loving thing for me to do for Bjorn?
Keep him as absolutely happy as he can be.
Does that mean live in a house with gates away from family?
Yes, the training I've been doing with him these past few days has been great. The walking has been really good for him. Good for me, too. Yes, my making sure I walk thru doorways and up and down the stairs first has been great. Bjorn gets it.
BUT he still can be threatened by Anton. He is too little a dog to not to be threatened by Anton's unpredictable movements. No amount of training will ever completely guarantee that he won't bite when threatened.
I cannot have both of these creatures at once. I must choose what's best for both of them.
So I am, at this moment, leaning towards giving him back to the breeder. She is willing to take him.
I just have to be willing to let him go.
Anne. What is the most loving thing to do? The most loving thing to do. I am a good person who does loving things and I can make this choice if I make it out of love and not selfishness, neediness or sad desperation.
Again everyone. Thank you for reading and considering my dilemma.
We go up to Rabun Gap to be with Mom and Dad on Saturday. We will board Bjorn while we're up there. When we return after Christmas, I will really make up my mind.
Any thoughts you have about this loving choice I have to make are still appreciated. Prayers, too. I want this to be another peaceful Christmas.

This post reflects something I've thought for years - toy breeds and children do NOT mix. Toy breed dogs are far too fragile to live with children. They are meant to be companions to adults.
Even the best-bred dog should not be subjected to the abuse children will dole out. Children should always be supervised around dogs.
Contrary to media and political propaganda, pure breeds that are good for kids are Staffordshires, AmStaffs and APBTs. Get one from a good breeder who promotes and guarantees temperament, not a backyard bred or puppy mill (pet store) dog. These dogs love humans.
I'm glad the breeder will take the dog back, and it won't become another shelter statistic.
One word: Cats. Cleaner and dont mess with kids. Personally I feel Burmese are the best- friendliest cats on the planet- a lot like dogs in personality.
Good luck- I know it's hard to make a decision like this one.

The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimates that about 723,000 ethnic Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh since August 2017 to escape a deadly military crackdown in Myanmar's Rakhine State in response to attacks on security forces by Rohingya militants.
Denied citizenship and basic human rights in Myanmar, Rohingya have trickled into Bangladesh since 1970 due to persecution by Myanmar's successive military governments and radical Rakhine Buddhists. However, the exodus following the brutal atrocities last year was the fastest and largest in scale, triggering a massive humanitarian emergency.
On Sept. 2, ucanews.com documented the lives of Rohingya in Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, where more than 400,000 Rohingya reside one year after the exodus.

Decalogue of the Fascist Soldier (1935)
1. Know thou that the Fascist, and especially the soldier, should not believe in perpetual peace.
2. Days spent in prison are always merited.
3. One serves the Fatherland even by standing guard at a gasoline tank.
4. A companion must be a brother: first because he lives with you, and second because he thinks like you.
5. The rifle, the munitions belt, the bayonet, etc., have not been entrusted to you to be worn at your ease, but to be preserved for war.
6. Never say "the government will pay," because it is you who pays, and the government is that which you have willed and for which you put on the uniform.
7. Discipline is the sun of the armies; without it there are no soldiers, only confusion and defeat.
8. Mussolini is always right.
9. The volunteer profits by no extenuating circumstances if he disobeys.
10. One thing must be dear to you above all: the life of the Duce.

Millennial Africa: The National Question Revisited
Author: Paul Nugent
Publisher: Macmillan Education UKLog in
At the start of the new millennium, the configuration of Africa was more varied than at any point since the Scramble. In some countries, democratisation led to a reinvigoration of politics and to an alleviation of political tensions. In others, the grim determination of incumbent regimes to cling to power at all costs, raised the real prospect of endemic civil unrest and renewed military intervention.1 More seriously still, the viability of the state itself was thrown into question across much of the continent, as armed factions carved out their own territorial niches. In most cases, they aspired to ultimate control of the centre, but where no faction commanded a decisive advantage, there was often a de facto fragmentation into competing fiefdoms. Whereas the international community had once worked on the assumption that the globe was naturally composed of sovereign states, there was a greater willingness to live with the possibility that states might fall off the map altogether — even if the termination of sovereignty remained the ultimate taboo. In this chapter, we examine the playing out of the national question across the continent from the 1990s. We start by revisiting some of the political unions that had been forged around the time of independence (see Chapter 3). We then consider the experience of countries plagued by a long history of civil wars. After that, we turn to the contagion of warfare in Central and West Africa. Finally, the book concludes with some general observations about the pursuit of national reconciliation and the acceptance of diversity at the start of the new millennium.

Introduction: Simply-Simple Auto Lightswitch
Make an auto lightswich turner on thing without technology. I know that slideshow is of drawn pics, but the idae is clear.
string (the sturdier the better)
thumbtack or screw with loop ( the screw will be in slideshow)
tape or other sticky thing that wont tear off with pressure
when the door opens, the lightswitch is turned on by the string, but you have to turn off the light when you leave the room

EXACTLY!? This annoys me SO much! What do you do?
I just turn on the light... For me, it's not that much effort, so I haven't really tought about it.
Yeah! But theres no fun in that!
I know, and it's such a shame... and honestly, I can't think of a soloution other than getting a US style switch installed. Or X10... now that's fun.
Same here in the UK but mine is a dimmer lol
This won't work. The standard light switch moves about an inch as it is activated or deactivated. A door must be opened at least a foot for someone to squeeze through. It is technically possible to do this if you put the tape point close to the hinges and do some fine tuning but it wouldn't turn off as you leave. The biggest problem here isn't how you would do this but rather why.
u would do it to be lazy its just a thing for your spare time
now that i think of it, if you close the door after walking in, the string would flip it off when u leave the room cause u'd have to open the door again
No it woudn't. think about it. You'll figure it out.
to do that, you put the screw thing beneath the lightswitch and trail it up to the door oh..that would pull the switch down when the door is opened
Instead of this, why not make one that automatically turns lights off when you leave, so that you can save electricity.
my computer's not good, so tell me if the pictures are small white boxes on yours or if thats just how it loads and it's fine

Summerland Part 1
7 Apr 2017
One of our readers imagines Heaven:
Summerland, Heaven, Paradise, call it what you like, if you believe in it, it's all good. No worries, no stress or fears, in essence a place for children and gentler elders, angels and spirits of purity and love.
There are visions of paradise on this earthly plane all around us. If you seek that vision of a perfect place, you may well get lucky and see it in the corner of your eye. A sneak preview for the few of us who truly believe that there is a special place in the afterlife, especially if we can see it. Or have glimpses of it when we open ourselves up to it, when we connect to the promise and the possibility of the perfect spiritual reality via its portals – a picturesque gateway to the place we are going to.
Doing the work to get there, if even just in your imagination is half the job done. Being patient with the people who matter and overcoming the obstacles of their stress and their fears is also a part of the admission to the absolute real place of the higher spiritual plane.
For myself I have started to see clear visions of Summerland, as some call it, very clearly in my psychic and spiritual visions. The first time for me was late last year, just before Christmas, way out in the countryside near and around to an ancient burial ground as old as Stonehenge. I was thinking that I would open my psychic mind to the area, knowing well that there was resurgence in walking the old pathways dedicated to the female deities of the old ways and the new. These ancient Celtic pathways are now coming to light again throughout the millenniums time of renewal within old festive traditions.
So as I opened up my mind, to see what I could see: the whole landscape to my left became a perfect vision of an astral paradise, with wild flowers covering the ground as far as the eye could see. There were these tall women, dressed in angelic clothing, with long hair. Fifteen foot tall is what they appeared to be at the time. I'm not sure if I had shrunken in size in comparison or if it was just how they appeared in my vision. But they were all walking in step and singing a beautiful song together to the timing of their feet; each step they took brought them closer to their warm sunlit destiny. Surrounded by spirit children giggling and flying around these mysterious majestic women like cherubs; playing with the whirling orbs of bright silver, and gold streaks spinning, shooting and darting in the air like swallows in full flight.

Repsu is sharpening her claws, for who knows what? 😀
Tag Archives: cat
A little show of friendship 🙂
First time out after the winter
Today was a lovely day, sun was shining and it was warm, so I decided it was time to take Tintti out. She's a typical indoor-cat so she doesn't go out that much, and she's pretty timid when she's outside and I have to stay with her so she won't accidentally run under a car or something, especially because we live so near downtown.
You can never be too careful, just sneaking around 🙂
And a little snack, grass.
A little farther away from the door.
What's that?
Hey, that looks interesting..
Did I her a door opening?
This was a lucky shot of my sister's cat Haru while he was licking his nose 🙂

What's next for China in Zimbabwe — and the rest of Africa?
China on November 21 blamed ongoing speculation that China had something to do with the bloodless coup in Zimbabwe on a desire to "drive a wedge between China and Africa and to undermine China's image," calling the claims "complete nonsense, and purely fictitious," the Guardian reports.
- The Guardian quotes Ross Anthony, the director of the Centre for Chinese Studies at South Africa's Stellenbosch University, as saying "as far as I can tell [the Chinese are] not in the business of actively promoting coups."
- We agree that there is no credible evidence of China promoting the coup, though Beijing may have gotten a heads up about the plans from a Zimbabwean military delegation that visited Beijing in early November.
- As Bloomberg notes, the expected successor to Robert Mugabe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is "seen as more friendly to [foreign] investors" and even "proposed in 2015 to have the Chinese yuan as legal tender in inflation-prone Zimbabwe."
Other ways China's status in Africa is evolving:
- China has in recent years been testing more active diplomacy in places such as oil-rich Sudan and South Sudan, bending a longstanding policy of "non-interference" in internal foreign affairs, the Financial Times reports (paywall).
- A little-known Chinese cell phone company has come to dominate the African market, as Transsion is set to sell more than 100 million of its solidly-built and reasonably-priced models, the company's founder tells (paywall) the FT.
- China is expanding its role in peacekeeping operations on the continent, as it completed the registration and started the training of 8,000 troops for UN missions, SCMP reports.
- China's footprint in Djibouti goes far beyond its first overseas military base, where troops were deployed this summer and held drills two months ago. SCMP notes natural gas, railway, and airport projects whose sizes seem massive relative to the small coastal country's economy, along with a free trade zone that started construction in January this year.
- But many projects have stalled in civil war-torn South Sudan, Quartz reports, putting into jeopardy what Chinese officials call a "pilot case for Chinese diplomacy."

#7318 closed change (rejected)
Unsupport $match-case filter option

|Blocked By:

|Verified working:
|Review URL(s):
It turned out that the $match-case filter option (marking the filter's URL pattern case sensitive) is vastly unused with no single filter using it at the moment in EasyList, EasyList Germany, Liste FR, RuAdList, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's Annoyance List and Fanboy's Social Blocking List.
Unsupportig this unused filter option would allow us to simplify the filter parser and matching logic, and might potentially allow some further optimizations.
What to change
Remove support for the $match-case filter option and any related logic.

comment:1 Changed 19 months ago by sebastian
@arthur, Lain_13, dimisa, fanboy: Any objections? Feel free to add other filter list authors.
@mjethani: I'm wondering whether, if we go ahead with this change, whether it would be more efficient to convert the URL before matching to lower case in order to remove the i flag from the regular expressions (and related logic from matchesLocation())?
comment:2 follow-up: ↓ 10 Changed 19 months ago by mjethani
@sebastian yes, I suspect that it is more efficient to do a case-sensitive match (which means we could convert the request URL and all the patterns to lowercase). We are already doing this for filters that do not use a RegExp object internally, which is in fact most request blocking filters.
I actually think that $match-case (rather than $~match-case) should have been the default from the beginning and that's how it should work, but of course if we change the default now it might cause some filters to stop working.

comment:7 Changed 19 months ago by kzar
I'm not sure this is a good idea, while Adblock Plus filters default to case-insensitive matching, chrome.declarativeNetRequest rules default to case sensitive matching. I asked Karen about it, and he said it's better to make rules case sensitive wherever possible since they're more efficient.
While we can mark some rules as case sensitive automatically (ones which only contain the domain part), most we can't. If we remove $match-case we'll loose manual control as well.
It's true, that we don't seem to use the option much at the moment, but it seems to me this might be a bad time to remove it. It sounds like, for better or worse, we're going to be working with chrome.declarativeNetRequest a lot going forwards.

Indeed this is true, but this also does not depend on this ticket. I have filed #7321 and submitted a patch.
To clarify what I'm saying, with #7321 we are already getting almost all of the performance benefit of the change suggested here, but without losing the $match-case option. Performance should no longer be a reason for making this change.
Given Dave's comment above, I am now inclined towards keeping this option until we have clear direction about declarativeNetRequest.
comment:12 Changed 19 months ago by Lain_13
I think this flag could be safely removed if filters and matched urls would be converted to the same case before matching. Actual case-sensitiveness in filters usually never required and detremental for generic filters. The only case in which might be needed is when site intentionally attempting to circumvent blocking and for this case we still have regexp filters. Just make sure that regexp fileters are still matched against original URL (not all lower/upper case).

If we have to use delcarativeNetRequest in the future, and if they don't mange to make case-insensitive patterns perform well, with Dave's line of argument it seems we should rather make ABP filter case-sensitive by default as well, and then introduce a $match-case-insensitive option (so that filter list authors only use case-insensitive matching where necessary). Either way, the $match-case option as currently supported seems redundant.

Why? I mean, if all URLs and filters would be cast to lower case matching will act like case-insensitive while being case-sensitive. We do need case-insensitive matching by default. It just doesn't matter how exactly it will be achieved under the hood.

I agree, but wouldn't that break loads of the existing filters, which were written with case-insensitive matching in mind?

Case-insensitive matching by default is convenient, as there is apparently no single filter at the moment in any relevant filter list that requires case-sensitive matching. But these semantics aren't required per-se. About 50% of the request filters in EasyList have the same effect regardless whether they are matched with case-insensitive semantics (as they don't match any alphabetical characters after the domain part), and likely a fair amount of the remaining filters (that might match alphabetical charterers in the path and/or query part of the URL) would still match in practice with case-sensitive matching.
I agree that changing the default semantics to case-sensitive, and only marking filters for case-insensitive matching if required in order to match all targeted requests, would make things more difficult for filter list authors. With the current implementation of Adblock Plus there is no need for that, as we can efficiently match case-insensitively (by converting the URL to lower case upfront, rather than checking each character for two variants), but if we have to adopt Chromium's declarativeNetRequest mechanism, we are no longer in control of the algorithms matching filters against URLs, and their current implementation doesn't seem to perform well with case-insensitive patterns.
Replying to kzar:
I agree, but wouldn't that break loads of the existing filters, which were written with case-insensitive matching in mind?
We could provide a script that converts existing filter lists, adding $match-case-insensitive to all filters that might match alphabetic characters in the path or query part of the URL, and then advice filter list authors to use that filter option only if absolutely necessary in new filters going forward. Also FWIW, there are probably larger breaking changes that will come with declarativeNetRequest.
We might as well find that the performance impact of case-insensitive matching with declarativeNetRequest isn't big enough to justify this change, in particular if 50% of the filters can automatically be flagged for case-sensitive matching and/or if the algorithms in Chromium will improve.
In any case, I don't see much of a point to keep supporting the $match-case filter option with its current semantics. It's unrealistic to expect filter list authors to explicitly add $~match-case to every filter that doesn't strictly require case-insensitive matching for better performance.

One of the survivors of the June 3, 2015 twin disaster that struck Accra, remains in a critical condition nearly five years after the incident.
Kassim Suraj is among the 108 survivors of the disaster.
But after undergoing 18 surgeries as a result of the injuries he sustained during the night of the disaster at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle GOIL gas filling station, he is still battling for his life at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
This came to light on Monday, June 24, 2019, in Accra as the Natural Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) disbursed an amount of $200,000 donated by the Government of Benin to the victims of the June 3 disaster.
The $200,000 was donated in October 2017 and the Ministry of the Interior subsequently formed a seven-member Disbursement Committee to disburse the fund and any other monies that have been raised for the victims.
Survivors of the disaster were presented with cash amounts ranging from Gh¢ 8,000, Gh¢ 10,000 to Gh¢ 40,000.
Mr. Suraj was the highest recipient, haven been presented with Gh¢ 40,000 to cater for his medical bills.
The ambassador of Benin to Ghana, Martin Dossa and officials of NADMO visited Suraj at the Hospital where a cheque was handed over to him.
About 160 individuals lost their lives during the disaster on that fateful night.

How Security Cameras In Alexandria Virginia Can Keep Your Business Protected
Being a business owner requires a lot of responsibility and hard work. When your business is closed or when you are away from the premises, it is important to have your property cared for by a professional team. By hiring a licensed Security Officer At National Protective Services Inc. or another qualified security company, you will be put at ease. A security officer will be able to monitor all activity at your business and will keep you updated on any events that are occurring. Security Cameras in Alexandria Virginia will further protect your business, capturing every moment as it occurs.
Each security officer that is available to assist has been trained to work in residential and commercial settings. They will keep a close eye on the surveillance equipment that is present and will patrol the interior and exterior portions of your building. They will also use a vehicle to closely monitor the property that your business is situated on. Security Cameras in Alexandria Virginia perform a variety of duties. They are able to record aerial views of your property and also monitor what is happening in each section of your business. Fine detail is recorded, capturing movement involving people and vehicles. The technology used for this equipment is advanced and will even be able to record small numbers, such as ones that are part of a license plate.
If an incident ever occurs when you are not around, the security team will respond. The activity that has occurred will be reported to the authorities and you will be notified of what has just taken place. You will receive a written report of all activity and will be able to watch the footage that has been recorded. Because you have powerful evidence, anyone who has caused harm to your business will be held responsible. Many times, just having a security officer and cameras at a business will prevent theft from occurring. You will also have the option of using the services that are provided whenever you find they are necessary. A security officer can assist full-time or can serve you during holidays and times that your business is closed. By taking precautions and keeping your property monitored, you will be protecting the future of your business and ensuring that you do not have to experience theft, vandalism or any other type of hardship.

Here are two of our first case studies for the amazing Sleek Brows…the first lady, as you can see, has total hair loss on her eyebrows so we had to fully reconstruct them using the painting method.
We applied individual strokes of textured paint to the skin to 'build' an eyebrow.
With our second lady, although she does have some eyebrow hair, it is very sparse and quite fine in texture meaning that the individual, existing hairs could easily be lost. We used the painting method again here as its such a great way to achieve either a natural eyebrow or a more defined look depending on personal taste or fashion.
Remember,this technique is totally waterproof and smudge proof and will last for 3 to 6 weeks. It is equally suitable for men or women and is a non-invasive technique where no skin is broken and no pores or follicles are clogged.

Lo and behold. I am past my grievances that I couldn't teach them anything at all. This just is too goddamn funny.
Presenting: The Students' Hall of Fame, May 2008.
- "A state is a community of less or more numerous of people where government takes an active part in decisions." A state was also "a capital for anythign for example you see the country that had a capital is known as the state." "A state is a place where we find population, problems and solution to their problems."
- Judiciary is how we 'make law of different 'asspects' of society". One student writes that judiciary is the 'custody of the law'.
- What was the social change in French Revolution?
Women take much interest to take jobs.
- What is status situation?
"According to the man Weber, your market situation tells you about your class, and your status situation tells you about your group because in classes we have got groups due to their status."
- A student also spelled soveriegnty as "selvigingry".
- "A post modern society people will not work because all the work will be done by technology". A student also wrote that it is "those scoiety in it is the scoiety where we are living where all peoples are rich and try to popular themselves in society." A thinker said, "PM society has no sense of right or wrong, no technology exists in post modern society. It is people simply living in societies." And "a society which is governed by a government that does not exist".
- Technology, according to him or her, was somethign that 'takes place in a newborn country'.
- Social Change is "an aferation in society has exist in human being where early in mankind history."
- Power elite is 'seeking of power', capitalists thrive on 'prophit' and technology "comes through the country or anywhere" and life would be very 'hart' without it. Judiciary is a 'political party' and democratic socialism is 'investing money in the government'. One student felt that democratic socialism was 'when people socialize in a democracy'.
- The five rules of modern society were:
Different living style
Special Food
Good image in society.
- An example of power was "German Hitler" and resistance was "something adoped in our society or some munufacuring follow they absultly destroyard neighbors are hanged on factory discourage in our plan".
- When asked to define extended family with an example, it was reported to be "in the simple word, a person have children, and her children got married, and they had children. It is also when a person has more than one or two children. In Pakistan it is very common. It is the most important example."
- Another explanation was "Families day by day to increase and extended. It's good for our country but also bad because families are extended and peoples are jobless."
- Joint family was found to be "too many people living together".
- Technology is anything 'which do work easily with wasting human power'. It is also defined as "to built up countries is called technology". An example of social inequality is when 'a person first learnt this lesson from his family, like through age factor. He was treat very important but as he grows up the state change." Democracy was detailed: 'democracy cannot happen because political parties do dhandli".
- My friend, A, adds her own experience of paper checking, "Collective behavior is the action done in order to prevent society from havoc" and "when norms are copied by teh group members this causes a state of collective illness." She also swears she read this in a paper that "Mob is a person with many heads and no brains."
Her apt reply was ... "The person who wrote this had a head but no brains".


text: Our buddies over at Your Creative Friends has gotten their hands on one of the new turtle minifigures from the summer wave of LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets. Here they have Donatello from the Turtle Sub Undersea Chase (79121). He wears some sort of breathing apparatus on his face and some gear on the torso. From the image below of the set, it looks like Leonardo is also wearing the breathing mask on the bottom corner. It's kind of strange that they're turtles and can't breathe under water. At least we get a varient of Donatello as well as another version from the movie line.

Garlic Basil Pesto
Garlic Basil Pesto
1/2 cup pine nuts
5 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Toast the pine nuts in a dry, frying pan over medium high heat for approx. 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Stir often.
Add the toasted pine nuts, garlic, 2 cups fresh basil, salt and black pepper to a food processor. While slowly incorporating the olive oil, blend until you get a finely chopped consistency.
*For a vegetarian variation: add 1/3 cup Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese.
Throw it on pasta with some fresh veggies, use it as a condiment for a veggie burger, or keep it simple…spread it on toast…my absolute favorite way to eat it!
I usually make a double batch and freeze half in a small recycled jar for a quick, mid-week meal down the road.

Sometimes it can be hard to find the perfect Valentines gift. Here are some of our picks that will help any guy from guessing. Firstly, It's nice to give him a few options so he can still surprise you. I know my hubby always asks me to give him a few options, I usually have no idea which ones he chooses. In the end it's all worth it because he absolutely loves to surprise me, it's cute and I love how excited he gets. I'm a little bad at surprising him, because I get too excited and usually give it away haha.
For these picks I wanted items that we would love, that can be dressed up or down, classy and of course yummy.
These cute Bedhead pajamas are on sale and they're the comfiest pj's around and who doesn't want to look cute at night. 😉
I chose some jewelry, because it's feminine and girls love it. These purses I had to share because they are worth every penny and they're on sale. I love Rebecca Minkoff and the black, blue and green velvet crossbody's are really stunning, I noticed Chanel has one that is very similar called the Woc. The dresses, skirts and sweatshirts are pretty much what I'll be wearing all spring and summer. And everyone needs some cute kicks and these green nike thea's are the hottest shoes right now. A added in some cute swimwear, sometimes it's hard to find the perfect one-piece. Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines, we love you ladies!

|Oklahoma's Rose Dunn,
September 5, 1878
- June 11, 1955,
also known as Rose of the Cimarron.
Replaces the guitar with the rifle, and soon you 'll see our big rockers with their past life.
Boots are often the same. Those in this imaginary exercise do not have to switch to another.
The same energy, the same rebellion, the same percentagegangs.
But the world gets better - the guitar does not kill no longer, it kills the fascists.
At least that Woody Guthrie's slogan sounds good - sometime rock can certainly improve people.

Remember drives on cold December nights, in the backseat of your parents' car, looking at the Christmas lights? Remember the thrill when you came across an over-the-top house that was draped in colorful lights and amazing displays?
Well, that thrill is even easier to find today. South Carolina is home to some truly amazing drive-through holiday light displays. You don't need to wait for the one or two tricked-out houses to see that intense display of lights and merriment.
Drive-through light displays are fun for everyone, but they are especially great for families with young children. No need to wrangle toddlers into strollers, no complaints of the cold or sore feet, no need to worry about losing excited little ones in a crowded place in the pitch dark.
And don't underestimate the coziness factor. There's something undeniably warm about piling together with a thermos of hot chocolate, Christmas music on the radio, and slowly driving in the dark, all in the warm confines of a car.
Here are just a few of our favorite drive-through light displays.
Saluda Shoals Park's"Holiday Lights on the River" in Columbia is the biggest lights show in the midlands, with more than 400 individual displays, a laser light show and a "dancing forest" whose lights correspond to music on the radio. Holiday Lights on the River also has indoor activities, including a tube slide, ice skating and visits with Santa.
Conway's "Celebration of Lights" is a spectacular, mile-long show with thousands of lights. Holiday displays line the streets, and balls of lights dangle from ancient trees near the river. Toward the end, a huge Christmas tree covered with thousands of blinking, color-changing ornaments dazzles viewers with a never-ending show of swirling patterns of light.
James Island County Park "Holiday Festival of Lights" just outside of Charleston, is wildly popular and has been recognized by magazines and groups from around the world. And with good reason. With more than 700 displays and millions of lights over miles of roads, it is truly spectacular. There are lots of fun activities for those who want to explore by foot, too, including sand sculptures, train rides and s'mores.
Roper Mountain's "Holiday Lights," in Greenville has more than a mile and a half of amazing lighted displays as well as walking displays and activities. And one of the best things about this display? All of the money raised goes to support the amazing educational programs at Roper Mountain Science Center.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Rival Senate candidates Kris Kobach and Rep. Roger Marshall have talked to President Donald Trump as some Republicans hope Marshall can keep the polarizing conservative Kobach from winning the GOP nomination.
Marshall's campaign confirmed that the western Kansas congressman met Monday with Trump in the Oval Office.
His campaign said in a statement Tuesday only that "It was a positive meeting."
Kobach said Tuesday that Trump called him Monday from Air Force One to talk to him about the Senate race and immigration issues.
Kobach has advised Trump regularly about immigration issues since Trump's campaign for president in 2016.

Hustler magazine founder and publisher Larry Flynt is usually promoting things related to free speech. But there's apparently a new reason for the adult media magnate to celebrate: marijuana.
In the 44th anniversary issue of Hustler, Flynt used his publisher's statement to discuss the progress marijuana legalization has made in recent years. He also used the column as a way to bash some anti-cannabis politicians as well.
For instance, he took aim at former Speaker of the House John Boehner, who announced earlier this year that he supports medical marijuana and even joined the advisory board of a cannabis company.
"Why is he jumping the bandwagon now? Because it's safer to do so now that several states have legalized both medicinal and recreational marijuana," Flynt wrote. "Conservatives are always two steps behind on any kind of forward-thinking progress."
Flynt also discussed Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's support for hemp farming. Flynt bashed the U.S. government's decision to outlaw the farming of hemp in the first place, noting it "is the single most versatile plant on Earth, used for everything from clothing, paper, fiberboard, insulation, fuel and food to toxic cleanup." He also said he suspects why McConnell and Boehner are now supporting these initiatives.
"McConnell and Boehner are simply adhering to what should be the real motto of the GOP, money talks," Flynt wrote.
Flynt also stated his support for various bills in Congress that would protect states with legalized marijuana and remove federal prohibition of the drug.
Now we can finally add the Hustler reader demographic to supporters of marijuana legalization.
