Good morning ladies,
Just opening for the weekend.
Anyone weigh in this morning?
We got some thunder and wind yesterday afternoon when the cold front approached the state. Some areas got over an inch of rain, but we barely got a sprinkle. At least it is much cooler. It's supposed to be 30 degrees cooler than it was the last few days. No rain forecast for the next week though. We are now officially in a drought . No need to mow grass today, it's all brown.
Didn't do much of anything yesterday, stomach bug hit. Feeling better so need to play catch up today.
Have a great day all.
Well, I am up and at them this Morning, Thanks for opening Di.
I cleaned all day yesterday and I am finished with that . I felt like I was getting a cold yesterday but so far this morning I feel ok.
Not a lot on the agenda for today . I have the youngest for the weekend as her Mummy is working 7 days. She doesn't like that but they need the money.
Garage sale weekend in here so I am taking the Gd's around the neighborhood . They both have a little money that I give to them each time I come.
Out to dinner tonite.
Got a treadmill walk into this morning only a half hour but will be up to speed next week .
Hope you bug went away Di and you feel great all week end .
Good morning, WOWsters,
Sorry about the stomach bug yesterday, Dianna, but glad you are feeling better today. Sorry about the drought, too. I know you must worry about your well; I sure do when we don't get rain. I hope you'll get enough rain to replenish everything soon.
Have fun with your granddaughters, Bama. They must be so happy to see you when you get back to OH each time. You're such a fun gramma!
DA has a 2 p.m. appt to get her flu shot; with all the VNA people coming in, I wanted her to get it as soon as possible. And I have book club tonight, so that will be fun. I have jerky in the dehydrator again (3# of roast doesn't yield a very impressive pile of jerky, so I bought some London broil and am giving that a whirl) and am going to bake some cookies so I can get a package out to DS. Just have to figure out what kind to make.
I skipped working out two days in a row, so I'd better go get on the TM. Wed. I had such a headache that after my half a smoothie at breakfast, I didn't eat the rest of the day; so yesterday I just felt weak and draggy and not up to working out. Back to normal today though.
Happy Friday, everyone!
I weighed and I am not happy. Up 2 pounds from last Friday. I was down half a pound before our near record temperatures this week. Hoping the extra goes away with the cooler weather that is coming.
Morning ladies. Happy Friday!
Not much going on here really, I need to load up the camper with food stuff, and balance the checkbook and pay bills. Plus I have the CG here today for a few hours so I will take Monster to the park, and go get a pedicure.
We tried a new recipe last night and it was ok, but deep fried so I feel blucky and icky today. Way too much grease for me. Cody is also feeling it, so although it was good,,, not something we will do again, unless I can figure out a way to bake them.
Well I better run so I can see if I can get some of the bill stuff done before getting Dad up and in the shower.
Morning again .
Well glad you are feeling better Mo and a few days off never hurt anyone. I was talking to a friend on another forum the other day and she had mentioned that she could not believe that she had lost weight and had not exercised in a couple of weeks . It really is all about eating or that is the more important of the two.
Di, don't get discouraged about the two pounds . Probably just water .
Angii, we never have deep fried foods any more . I even got rid of my deep fryer and we loved my home made French fries.
Morning to everyone one else .
I los 1 1/2 #'s yesterday . Must have been all that cleaning.
My key board is realy messed up so not tellin what you are goin to see.
Hi ladies,
Ah yes Friday the 13th, the day my little brother was born.....
Angii, so glad lunch was so nice, plus Charger had a great time at the dog park. MMM plus some more yummy tomatoes too. Bummer on the headache, hope it got better and yeah we didn't get to watch but left himself up on line and then read this morning...yuck what a mess.
Will check the time lapse pics later, thanks.
Thanks for the start Dianna. Yes, I did do weigh in and up a half pound today. Sorry about the lack of rain but glad it's cooler for you. Sorry about the stomach bug and don't push too much today.
Glad you are feeling alright Bama. Enjoy your grandma time and the garage sales sound fun along with dinner tonight.
Molasses, yeah I was just thinking yesterday about the flu shot...hoping my new primary has it so I don't have to go to Walgreen's for it again. Enjoy book club tonight. Oh oh London broil....my favorite steak besides filet mignon....GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER....take some out of the hydrator and cook some up with some produce from your garden on the side please LOL
So glad you are feeling better today Molasses.
I see you have a jammed pack day ahead Angii, hope it all works out for you. We bake our stuff today, can't deal with lots of oil and other stuff anymore either Angii...but then neither of us have ever been a big fan of greasy stuff!
Bama great on the weight loss...so that's where my 1/2 pound came from today LOL Yes, pizza good!
Well off to get the day started,
Well I am back from the garage sales . I just did the neighborhood as I walk and what a pleasure it was to walk. It is only 56 degrees with a little wind so the wind push me along . 2 days ago it was in the nineites . I love fall weather. Tomorrow I will get my fall stuff out and do a little decorating in the house. I also picked up a couple of different DVDs(Library) and have a couple of jillians on order
Sounds like a nice day Bama and your weather sounds nice too. Enjoy your decorating and the DVDs you got from the library.
Off to nap time
Well my toes are all pretty again, and the camper is loaded. Plus I got Charger to the park and he had fun with his friends. He will be a happy boy tomorrow when we leave. It will be nice to get out for a bit. And not have to worry. Plus if the weather holds my BFF is going to come watch with her boy(s). I am not sure if she will have 1 or all 3.
Not sure what else I will get into this evening. I still feel blucky so I think it will be a night of watching tv and just chilling.
Well I am off.
Hi Wowers,
Not much going on here today. Worked on some paperwork, sent DH's insurance app. off (cross your fingers!), and met with the adjuster on the camper. Who knows what we'll get for the damage, but probably not much because of it's age. We'll keep it anyway and try to repair it ourselves. Blanched & froze about 4 quarts of green beans. Some of them may be a little tough because I didn't get them picked in time, but I figure they'll be fine for soups.
TV night and chilling around here today too. Friends are all busy or off on wilderness canoe trips. I did talk DH into going down to Duluth with me in October. I'm going to a wolf symposium, but probably only for one day now. I already have my lodging booked, plus we have boat tour tickets that we need to use this year, and I've switched dates 4 times now. So we'll do that for sure, and hopefully do some photography, and DH can drop me off at the symposium and go play for the day. Not really in the budget, but we'll manage.
I need to go finish up a few things before our late dinner. Have a great evening, all!
Nothing exciting going on here. Charlie horse in my thigh woke me up about 2 am. Then I woke up again between 3 and 4 and couldn't get back to sleep for fear of over sleeping. So I got up at 4:20. DH's friend (train buddy) and his wife are coming at 8:00 and we are headed up north to the town DH and I grew up in for the Tomato Festival . The guys will drop the gals off at the craft fair and they will go to the train show. So walking around town will be my exercise this morning. After that I need to exchange the fall tablecloth that I bought when I was up for my knee appointment. I should have gotten the next bigger size. The bigger one may need cut off and hemmed but the one I have is a little short. Then we'll stop for lunch before heading home again. Yesterday DH asked if I wanted to go along and go to the craft fair. I jokingly said sure if his friend's wife went along. DH called his friend and the guys set it up. I had no intention of going and neither did she. I hope she didn't get railroaded in to going and the morning goes well. DH has known them for 30+ years (they all worked together) but this is only the 2nd time I've been with them for more than a couple of minutes. Me and my big mouth.
You all have a nice day.
Glad your tootsies are all pretty again, Angii, plus the camper done too and Charger had fun with his friends....what a perfect day. Sounds like a good time for all.
Sounds like you were busy and productive Barb and the wolf symposium sounds wonderful. Sounds like you are settling in nicely and before long everything will be all set and things will go nice and smoothly for both of you.
Very sorry about the Charlie horse and the early wake up. Been there, done that myself. The town you and your hubby grew up in sounds like some of the small towns around us here. Some great festivals here...we have the frog leaping contest and big to do.....Teh Jumping Frogs of Calaveras County. But our big Avocado festival here too. Oh Dianna, what a fun day and have to say while I love tomato's and crafts, I'd be headed to the train show with the guys, as I am fascinated by 'all trains' both the 'real ones' and the 'model one's'.....so amazing. Hope you can get a larger size of the tablecloth also. And a nice lunch out sounds nice too. Oh Dianna, I am sure it will be fun. Plus you need some Dianna time.
I have already got my dusting in, the towels are in Lucy and my eggs for lunch are cooking on the stove. Another major headache/mouthache bout yesterday, doing better this a.m. After breakfast bathrooms and after hubby cook's up Buddy's pancakes I will clean my last head of romaine.
Hope everyone has a nice day,
Maybe your "big mouth" will net you a new friend, Dianna! I hope so anyway, and I hope you have plenty of energy today despite the sleepless night.
Good luck with your insurance , both health and storage, Barb. The wolf symposium sounds interesting, and so does the boat tour. When I was in elementary school, we were supposed to do the glass-bottomed boat tour of Lake Superior for our 5th grade class trip, but for some reason we didn't go; I was bummed. I keep saying I'm going to do it next time we are in MN, but haven't gotten to it yet.
Have a great weekend, Angii!
I love the fall weather, too, Bama. Which DVDs did you get?
Sue, I did have more London broil than I could fit in the dehydrator so DH had some on his salad last night. There's still more left if you want to come tonight!
Birdie, hope it's all done now?
YAH, hoping all is well with you, and you get some son time this weekend, or at least some lake time!
I was out after midnight for book club last night so I haven't been all that productive yet this morning. I'll have to ramp it up for the afternoon!
Have a great Saturday, everyone!
Home again,
We got about 13 miles up the road and it started raining. In and out of rain the rest of the way. I found out that DH's friend's wife didn't really want to go to the craft fair but was told I wouldn't go if she didn't. It was 55 degrees, windy and misty when we got there. So we ditched the craft fair rather then chance being caught in the rain with no car. The guys dropped us off at a craft store and they went to the train show. They called us in a little less than an hour to say that they were done and would pick us up in a couple of minutes. Then I exchanged my tablecloth and she bought some books at Ollies and we went to Dollar Tree for a few things while the guys went to Central Tractor. Lunch ended up being Micky D's. The females wanted South West Salads and the guys wanted burgers and fries. Got home a little after noon. Wasn't the day we had planned but Cathy, the wife, said she enjoyed it after all. I got my shopping done and had a pleasant morning out. And I bought a "Light recipe" crock pot cook book at Ollies for $2.99. 55 degrees with wind feels chilly after 98 degrees just the other day. I changed into a sweater and DH put on a flannel shirt. My recliner, a cozy throw and exploring a new cook book sounds like a plan for a lazy afternoon.
Morning ladies. Once Dad gets settled I will take Charger to the park so he can burn off some energy before we go.
Di, I hope you have fun even if your Big mouth got you in over your head! Just try and be positive about it.
Mo, I hope you get some energy this afternoon.
Bama, I am glad you had a good time with the gkids at the garage sales.
Sue, the festivals sound fun.
We don't have many thing like that, at least not that I have heard of.
Well I better go. Hi to Birdie, Barb, and Yah!!!
Just took an apple crisp out of the oven. The house smells yummy. I made it GF, we'll see how it turns out.
Good Day! Nice pic of the geese but I Hate to see them flying south! To soon for it. Like Fall but not what comes after so quick. Well I got the Vacation day today instead of working but just at home. Plans didn't go through and once I get out here, well, you know how it goes for me. Beautiful day otherwise. I guess I should have had sauna but felt to tired etc. for that even. Just wanted to say HI and hope you all have great weekends and not like mine.
Di, glad you went for the ride and you did get some things done then also
MO, I guess there's a glass bottom boat by Pictured Rocks in the U.P. also. People talk about going but never do. I imagine the beef jerky is yummy to. I don't know if you heard about the fire starting at some ice cream shop at the boardwalk at Seaside Park in NJ or not? Not sure how bad it was. I think this was the park that was hit by the bad weather not to long ago?
Sure looks like CO. has a Lot of flooding going on there! Not much rain here, just a tiny bit yesterday.
Bama, glad you could walk with your gkids around there Sounds like fun.
Sue, sorry about your mouth ache and hope its ok now? Enjoy your day and your 'me' day a lot!
Angii, have a good weekend also!
Birdie, barb, hope your day is going better also Taking myself off for now as I'm probably not good company right now anyway. Have a Great weekend! Yah
Well Just a quick comment. I am already wore out Having both gd's most of the day. One is an only child and the other one the baby . The little one cried earlier when the older one went home and then she came back and only after 5 minutes they were arguing . I'm to old and to set in my ways for this. Thanks for listening.
Sending you (((hugs))), Bama. We're always here to listen. Sounds like you had a nice morning, Dianna, and curling up with a cookbook sounds like a lovely afternoon to me. Love apple crisp! I bought a bunch of apples at the farmers market, with that idea, but I have some really ripe bananas so I need to make banana bread tonight. Bummer on your Marq. plans, YAH. Hope you can get up there and spend some time with your kids and the lake -- Gales of November will be here before we know it. I'll take some jerky, MO. Have fun at the races, Angii! Hope you're having a great day, Sue. Birdie -- hope this whole business mess is getting resolved.
Not much new around here. For some reason I woke up around 3:30 am and never really got back to sleep so I'm kind of dragging now. I needed to do some cleaning today and the dog hair is out of control, but DH and I went over to the trailer and brought 6 boxes of clothes & stuff back. Doing laundry, got 2 bags of clothes ready for Goodwill, space found for some things, and two tubs of stuff I can get into in 10-15 lbs so that's going in the basement. DH has been working in the garage all day. Tomorrow we plan to take most of the day off, go get our fishing licenses since we got our new driver's licenses yesterday, and take a drive north. Rumor has it that a few maples are turning red up there. I'll look for a trail or portage to hike. I'd like to take the dogs with us -- they need to get out too, but it's bear hunting season and I don't have blaze orange coats for them yet. I did find our orange fleece vests and some orange bandanas today.
I need to go check on dinner. Stuffed pork chops and fresh green beans. Have a great evening. I think I'll relax with the Hallmark Channel.
Good morning,
Charlie horse again at 2 something this morning, then I woke up cold so got up and put sock on to sleep, by 5:00 Molly was up and pesting. So another short night. I think there may be a nap in my afternoon.
Barb, enjoy your hike this afternoon. I heard shooting yesterday morning, I don't know what is in season here, maybe squirrel.
Bama, I am sorry to hear your visit got off to such a bad start. Likely makes you wonder about being there full time. Hope today goes better.
Hope your jerky turned out good, Molasses. I take it that you are making it to send to DS. What kind of cookies did you decide to bake and send?
Sorry your day off didn't go as planned, YAH. Not sure what happened but sorry it did. Hope you have today off and can get your sauna.
Hope you have recovered, Sue and enjoy your me time today.
Hope you are having a nice weekend, Angii.
Birdie, hope things are working out and you will soon be free of the business.
Nothing different planned for the day, same old thing.
I've been trying to get a jump start on my Christmas shopping since we will be having Christmas at Thanksgiving when DD and family will be here. Since I only see them once a year, I don't really know what they like or have. So run it by DD before buying. So far everything I have checked on for her kids hasn't suited. I told her yesterday I need a list of ideas or I am afraid they will be getting gift cards.
Gotta go, it's one of those mornings with Molly.
Have a nice day.
Happy Sunday morning, everyone!
Sorry Molly is being a pain, Dianna. I was laughing to myself yesterday, thinking about how they say having a dog is good for your blood pressure while I was picking up after whichever dog had gotten in the bathroom wastebasket and scattered dental floss and tissues all over the floor. I hope you get your nap in this afternoon, and then finally get a good night's sleep, too. Have you tried melatonin or valerian? I have both and was thinking of trying one or the other since I haven't been sleeping well either. Did you get a nice salad at McDonalds anyway? I've heard they have good grilled chicken salads. I usually end up eating ice cream when I take DA there. (No hardship for me!) How was your apple crisp? I made a berry crisp not too long ago subbing ground oats for the ww flour and thought it was just as good as the regular version.
I made peanut butter cookies and a bar cookie with choc chips, oats and Craisins for DS. He likes buttery sugar cookies and lemon bars, but I thought it might be too hot yet to expect those to last well. DH said the jerky is good, so I will get the box packed up and ready to mail in the morning. I have to go on the USPS site later and fill out paperwork--you have to fill out a form telling them exactly what is in the box. I don't know if that's for all international shipping or just the military stuff.
Sounds like you had a productive day yesterday, Barb, and deserve your day off today--enjoy it! I hope you find some good photo ops as well as have a relaxing drive and hike.
(((((Bama,)))) I was just joking on the SS thread about the kids wearing you out; I'm sorry to see it was true. They are probably old enough to understand if you sit them down and tell them you love spending time with them, but they need to get along because hearing them fight wears you out.
((((YAH,)))) sorry your day didn't turn out the way you'd hoped either. Yes, the fire at the shore was awful--more than 50 businesses burned. I don't know how the fire started, but I sure hope it wasn't arson.
Sue, you must have had a busy day yesterday--you didn't even have time to post! Hope all is well at your house.
Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday!
Hey Elmo, we didn't need Smartphones we had imaginations!
Ooops guilty as charged too as we show Buddy the ice cream and his treats and other stuff we get him...hanging my head in shame.
Well got my dusting and vacuuming done on Thursday and with getting the dusting done before I got on line and us getting off early to eat and then vacuum we were able to get a bunch done on the one project we are working on together as Chuck wants me input and still have some to do before he can work on setting up the website. We shall see how the other business does for the holiday but if not well, we have some tough decisions to make.
We had another CharmedGate night on Thursday, along with having our last chicken enchilada dinner and finishing off our last of the Speedy Tracks....sadness of the heart...will miss my chocolate race cars....so will hubby LOL Will have to wait till next Summer!
Buddy was in doggie heaven as he saw the "squirrel" again yesterday when we did our "Mr. Woofy aka Buddy Max) routine of him looking out the front door.
I got a lot of stuff done Thursday checking off list wise and some phone calls too about my BP meds so will see what happens.
Then I had some fun time with working on our CC trip slide show program. Have to go and look at our music we bought years back as can't put the songs we have in the shows for us on line.....not without getting in trouble....
Friday, we cooked up our FREE angel hair pasta we got when we bought our Ragu sauce on sale at SM and we got 9 meals out of a 16 oz package so we are happy campers....4 for me and 5 for Chuck.
After we cleaned up, I cooked up my sausage for Friday night's dinner and while the sausage was cooking I took our squeeze mustard bottles and transferred them in to our mustard jar. Once the sausage was done cooking and the area was cooling off for clean up....I made up my salad for dinner. Boo hoo as the 48 cents avocado...other half I had left was still hard as a brick....well maybe that's why it was 48 cents LOL
So for dinner Friday night, I had the top of a stadium roll and put my sausage on that with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on top and melted it in the microwave and it also heated up the sausage and on the side my romaine lettuce, baby carrots and scallions, with my Kraft FF dressing. Was very yummy!
My Friday afternoon (after lunch) was clearing mail and answering some mail as I had a horrendous headache, mouthache(TMJ) and sinus issues to boot...so had to take a faux Advil after lunch as those other pills the primary told me take instead of them just don't make the mouthache/headache go away. Such is life....Chuck says one, once in a while, won't kill my kidneys! Also took an allergy pill Friday night.
As for Saturday.....did my dusting before I got on line and put the towels in the wash and my eggs on for lunch next week. We did our on line stuff, had breakfast and I did the bathrooms. Of course, Buddy looked at me with "adoring eyes" as I was drying off my eggs and putting them in a dish in the frig....of course, he is fickle as when the grill came out and the stuff to make his pancakes....his daddy was his 'new love' LOL
After hubby was done with his pancakes, I cleaned up my last head of romaine lettuce. Then helped him with his clean up, he washed...I dried LOL
I was tired Saturday so did my mail stuff, deleting and responding....after I folded the towels, called Winco about my Mr. Clean, they don't have it so we will check SaveMart but I found it on WM and it can be delivered.
Then I checked and looked at some things on my lists, plus got videos for my workouts for the days I have to do them...so can watch and keep it fresh in my mind before I go workout.
After lunch went and worked on our CC slideshow some more before nap time. Oh and now I have to call the billing department for my meds as they are missing a payment and still no call from them that they are shipping my Diovan, so I see another call to the doctor's office. Sometimes I just want to SCREAM....and have a 'kid fit' with kicking my feet and all!
We got the first disk of the last season of Desperate Housewives in on Friday but hubby decided on another night of CharmedStargate...fine with me as I love both shows...and as I said I had one Thursday night LOL
The Housewives waited till Saturday and we shall see if we continue or Chuck tells me how it all ended as he saw on his TV sites he goes too...or he even had a better idea on Saturday morning that we just watch the last disk. We watched it for 7 years so figured we'd like to see the last season...we shall see!
We also got Haven in on Saturday and watched an episode on Saturday....we love that show!
To say I have had better weeks is an understatement, been very upset all week as I think I lost a very very good friend and it's killing me...have you ever wished you could just turn back the clock...I can't but I don't know what else I can do, I have emailed her, said I'm sorry, just wish I never ever shared what I did but it seemed the right thing to do at the time....but apparently not. Just hoping and praying eventually I will hear back from her. I even send an e-card but that hasn't been picked up either. It's the reason for the headache/mouth aches and my crying on and off all week.
So sorry if I haven't been as light-hearted, but lots on my mind as in addition to losing a friend I am having lots of other health issues too!
Well it's Sunday, nothing new....same ole same ole...off to breakfast, fun times with Buddy and so smells yet...such is life.
Hope you have a good day,
In my house, you wanted your allowance you did your chores!
Remember it well!
Afternoon all, Well the kids have gone home . I will have some relief until next week end but then I will only have the one and then that will be the last time without her mommy being here. So I can make it . They both have Girlscout camping trips on separate weekends so I lucked out. LOL> They are fine alone but not together . My GSon is 13 so he no longer comes to Grammas only long enough to say Hi .
My Sis and niece is coming in either today or tomorror and we haven't seen each other since 2000. So it will be a nice trip . We are going over to Indiana to try and get our farm on the market . It 's been in the family for over a 100 years and no one is interested in paying the taxes so we are hoping to get rid of it.
It was left to our Father and his two maiden sisters so no other children are involved.
By Thursday I hope to be back on Schedule with my normal life.
I missed my Hallmark Cabot Cove last night but I think it is on again tonite so plan on trying to catch it . It has become one of my favorite shows.
Hi all! Hope your all having some precious 'me' days today. This is part of the beach at my mom's farm! My SIL is there with maybe my DB ahead of her I think. You have to drive a half or so mile through very bushy road now to get to it. Can't really meet another car or someone will have to back up to a better place We used to walk through swampy bush to get there as kids though. I love walking along it and miss it a lot. Red sandstone and then sand more farther out or in some places comes up to shore.
Its a cloudy and sometimes a little rainy day so nice for me as if I'm not out, I enjoy this kind of day out here. Yesterday was hard being so nice and just being here. I do have the sauna going now so will try to enjoy it although I'm feeling tired out but hopefully I'll feel better when I get in there. Had to buy some starter wood from the little store by here to get it going. Had my 'patch' from church also this morning and Dh took off to town. Guess he might be helping son with wall around that window they put up.
Di, I woke up many times this morning to but went back to bed although I didn't sleep much. Just happy no call in. I take the MidNite pills from Walmart or anywhere they sell them. Has melatonin, and 2 other herbs in it. Helps for a few hrs. anyway and can be taken anytime or more of. Hope your weather is better now?
Bama, I imagine the older gd would understand if you told her how you feel? Josie is running around now I guess. Had her on FB with her Big Sister shirt on so I guess everyone knows their expecting now March 20th is the date anyway. Josie was born on March 29th
MO, your DS will love his gift of goodies for sure! I imagine you've cooled off a bit? I guess no one would want to get the rain that norther Co. is getting!
Sue, hoping your 'me' day is going fine and sorry about the friend but its probably not anything to do with you I'll bet Hugs for you and I see we had a squirrel around here to chasing the chipmunks away. I haven't see them Too much this summer though.
Hi to everyone else and wishing the best for you today and C U after the sauna sometimes Yah
Molasses, I would love to come to dinner for some London broil and a nice salad with a baked potato LOL Wow late night for book club!
Bummer on the rain putting a kibosh on your trip but sounds like you had a nice time anyway and you and Cathy had a nice time and you made a new friend too! So how was that date with your chair and the cookbook!
Angii, yes I imagine Charger has a lot of energy and yes lots of great things going on here in California...unfortunately the AQ keeps many of us from being able to enjoy them.
Oh Dianna, mmmm apple crisp....I am jealous.
YAH very nice pic of the geese. Yes, I know that feeling about Fall leading to winter with coming from Rochester, now Fall means 80s instead of 90s and triple...sometimes...as we have had 106 in October here!
Sorry your plans didn't go as you wanted and you missed a sauna too....HUGS Luckily the mouth ache was gone Saturday for the day. Me day is alright, just miss my spray....soon I hope!
Oh Bama, my heart goes out to you on kids and crying and fighting....when we went to Rochester my first job was a cleaning/taking care of kids for the head of pediatrics at the hospital and his wife who was a "child psychologist".....well the kids were already in that "new age" parenting baloney and one day the boy told me "F you"......9 years old.......my hand came up and he gave me this look....and mockingly said "you can't hit me" and I realized lawsuit....problems...I went into the bathroom and had a cigarette and he is outside the door saying 'you can't smoke in the house' so I said back to him very sternly...."if I don't I am going to come out there and beat you".....I finished my cigarette and called his father...told him you had better come home and told him what happened. I had first called Chuck and told him to come get me. So when I called the father I told him 'you have 30 minutes' to get here or they WILL be ALONE....they called and called me to come back and I said sorry no! Went and started temp work at the University instead.
So lots of HUGS coming your way.
Sorry on the early wake up call Barb and your banana bread sounds very yummy. I feel for you on the sleep as never of us have been sleeping well and lots of wake ups. Wow you are doing great with the stuff and organizing and donating too. It's that time of year for me too and will be doing that soon. Sounds like a wonderful day for you and your hubby. MMM stuffed pork chops, don't like green beans but some potatoes sounds good....boiled with some parsley!
Dianna, sorry about another charlie horse...I put an article on the cardio board about it...potassium levels is one thing and another article I read mentioned getting enough water too. Sorry Molly got you up again too. Feeling a bit better Dianna, thanks. Good luck with the Christmas presents.
LOL Molasses, I am guessing we read the same articles about dogs as I thought the same thing as I yelled at Buddy yet again to stop biting, scratching, rubber lipping etc!!!!
Oh Molasses, my mouth is watering over those cookies you made. A fairly busy one, yes Molasses, plus not really in the frame of mind to post yesterday.
Glad you have a reprieve for a while Bama. Have a nice visit with your sister and niece Bama, and I know that will be very emotional for all of you as that is a long long time to be in the family and I know brings all of you a lot of memories...both good and bad, I am sure! HUGS for all of you.
Oh YAH what a beautiful beach. Wow a real small road I see. I can see why you miss it...it's beautiful. Enjoy your sauna today. Hoping your DH is helping your son with the wall around the window. Wow they will almost have birthdays together. Thanks for the hugs.
Well I am off to watch some videos and then play some Bookworm.
Well I just had to put this pic with the Big Sister shirt on and looks like on top of Sugarloaf Mountain in Marq. which I haven't climbed up yet. Maybe someday.
Had my sauna so feeling nice and brushed and clean for once I know, showers get us clean but we like the brushing while your sitting down and warm and all once in a while to get all those skin cells off And a little steam at the end and nice to shave although I don't need that very much. I washed my hair in the house though and cut my toenails as good as I can manage. Going to be a frosty night I guess. All clear now and sunshine tomorrow. I did see the humidity was in 90's today even if it was a little cooler Hoping no call in anyway. Otherwise, didn't really do much today, just relaxed I guess, like yesterday.
Sue, glad your 'me' day worked out ok with no mouth aches at least. My niece put on FB a few pic's of Jacobsville so that's where the beach one came from. She also had the old lighthouse attached to a house that's a living quarters now and the newer lighthouse at the end of a long boardwalk which we used to walk to etc. Seems I have to see it in pic's as I sure don't get up there either.
Bama, thats a Long time not to see your sister! That will be awesome all by itself and then the farm to be sold since its been in your family so long. I miss seeing my Ds's also as I used to at least see them once a year when my mom was still living. Now its a few yrs. and not sure when Amy's mom will be up again. Have a good reunion
Well, I made hot tuna noodle casserole to make me feel better I know, not the thing to do but I needed it. I did lose a few lbs if I remember correctly from the last time I was on the scale, if its working right
Have a good evening everyone and sleep soundly to! Yah
Rainy and drizzly this morning, but we had a beautiful fall afternoon. Drove up the Echo Trail this afternoon & stopped at several lakes with the dogs. Murphy went wading but Jaz really wasn't interested. She prefers climbing on rocks. We took them both out on a dock and Murphy was giving some thought to jumping in (he was on a leash). Hmmm, wonder if he's a secret flying dockdog? At least Jaz drank from the lake this time. Some of the maples are turning red. We didn't get a hike in. Lots of traffic on the road, and mostly hunters. I had forgotten that grouse season started this weekend. Forgot our blaze orange and left the dog's bandanas in the trailer. By the time we got home it was time to start dinner (leftover spaghetti & salad) and a baked apple (with ice cream - oops!) for dessert.
Frost warning again tonight so the sheets on the crops. I need to find one more for my hanging baskets. I think they'll survive on the porch if they're covered.
Sounds like everyone had a good day today! See you tomorrow.

Yoplait Delights Triple Berry Creme Lowfat Yogurt Parfait is described on the company's website as, "Triple the berry. Triple the delight! A delicious blend of rich strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry yogurt is topped with smooth vanilla yogurt to make the perfect parfait. It's hard to believe this berry bliss is 100 calories!"
What I agree with: The vanilla creme which is the top half is creamy, smooth and delicious.
The rest: Triple the delight - I think not! The "triple berry" was more like "half a berry". I think if you're going to go hard core with the name - not just berry, not even berry berry, but you're going to tell me this a "Triple Berry" flavor - then I expect to be bowled over with the flavor. I expect big chunky fruit pieces, and I expect plenty of it. Unfortunately, what this tastes like is vanilla yogurt with a little added berry flavor. The small fruit specks present could have been, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, apple or anything else, because they didn't have much flavor, and really the specks were so small that they didn't even add much texture to the yogurt.
Each 4 ounce Yoplait Delights Triple Berry Creme Lowfat Yogurt Parfait cup provides 100 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat which includes 1 gram of saturated fat (2% & 4% of the daily value), 80 mg of sodium (3% of the DV), 5 grams of protein and 16 grams of carbohydrates including 12 grams of sugars. The ingredients include the artificial sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame K.
Honestly, I haven't been wowed by the Yoplait Delights brand. I prefer the Yoplait Delights Chocolate Raspberry Parfait flavor to this one, but neither one of them are anything special - especially not at the $2.79 for 4 price tag.

Although complaints about noise still are being filed with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, the situation in the Village has calmed down since early November, Sgt. Scott Osborne, the leader of the Village's Community Policing Station, said this week.
Still, the Siesta Key Oyster Bar received a citation Nov. 23 for music that was too loud during the Village's Turkey Trot, Osborne said.
The annual event, held the night before Thanksgiving, generally draws a large crowd, Osborne said, but the Turkey Trot last week "was one of the busier ones they've ever had. There were a lot of people … more than I've ever seen out here."
The county fire marshal was checking all the Village bars and restaurants, Osborne added, to make sure no place exceeded its occupancy level. At one point, Osborne said, he believed most of the establishments had as many people packed into them as the fire code allowed.
The deputies were unable to estimate the total number of people in the Village, he said.
Despite the fact that other businesses point to SKOB as a perennial violator of the county's noise ordinance, Osborne said the restaurant staff works hard to comply.
"I don't think they've been letting things get out of hand," he said. "Their decibel level is normally not that high."
However, SKOB did get a warning about two weeks ago, he said, for exceeding the noise level. If a business that has been warned violates the noise ordinance a second time within 90 days, Osborne said, it receives a $250 citation. Any subsequent citation results in a $500 fine, he added.
On Turkey Trot night, Osborne said, the restaurant was "way above the (decibel) limit."
Officers checked all the other bars and restaurants in the Village, he said, and every other establishment was in compliance.
Yet, with so many college students home for the holiday and partying in the Village, Osborne said, he suspected the band at SKOB simply was trying to be heard above the noise.
"That is a big night … yet we were called out on it," said Beth Owen-Cipielewski, co-owner of SKOB.
She agreed with Osborne about the number of people participating in Turkey Trot.
"The college kids are home," she said. "They need somewhere to go (for entertainment)."
The biggest problem is the ambient noise, Owen-Cipielewski said.
"We're doing what we can," she said. "SKOB stays out of trouble."
Owen-Cipielewski was especially frustrated about the complaints, she said, because Siesta Key provides about 35% of the county's annual tourist development tax revenue.
"We're deeply disappointed that whether it's neighbors or residents or other businesses (calling the Sheriff's Office), (complaints are lodged against the restaurant)," she said. "I wish we'd get more support from the county. We're the No. 1 beach; why can't we all just be happy?"
A short distance down Ocean Boulevard from SKOB, Rami Nehme, the new owner of Blasé Café, said last week he also had been frustrated by the noise complaints in the Village. When a complaint was lodged against his restaurant in late October, he said, he was not on the premises that night.
However, Nehme said, the band at the restaurant played just seven minutes past the 10 p.m. deadline for the sound level to go down, so the band could finish its set.
"All of a sudden three deputy cars are parked in my parking lot," he said.
Other complaints have brought more deputies to Blasé Café, he said, when bands were not playing.
"It gets kind of annoying," Nehme said. "(The complaints) kind of put me on the spot. I really don't have live music except on Friday and Saturday, (and the musician usually is a guitarist with no speaker equipment)."
One recent complaint lodged against Blasé Café, Osborne said, had resulted from the music level at SKOB.
"I'm just trying to serve good gourmet dinners," Nehme said. "There are two sides to every story."
Nehme said he also had asked a deputy for a clarification about the time, dictated by the noise ordinance, when loud music has to subside. Nehme later sent the Pelican Press an email provided to him by the Sheriff's Office, citing the appropriate section from the noise ordinance. After 10 p.m., the ordinance says, indoor and outdoor entertainment can continue only if a business has a special exception.
Noise meter detects violations
An anonymous caller lodged a complaint at 11 p.m. Nov. 11, telling the Sheriff's Office he had detected loud music from either Gilligan's or the Daiquiri Deck.
The responding deputy wrote that he stood in the middle of Ocean Boulevard between the two businesses and determined the majority of the noise was coming from the Daiquiri Deck.
The deputy calibrated his noise meter and took a reading, which showed 79.5 decibels at 11:45 p.m. He recalibrated the meter and stood on the curb directly in front of Daiquiri Deck. His next reading was 78.8 decibels at 12:07 a.m. Nov. 12. After 11 p.m., the maximum decibel level allowed is 70, he noted in his report.
The deputy printed the reading, spoke to the manager of the Daiquiri Deck and warned him about the music. "(The manager) apologized and took immediate measures to turn the music down," the deputy wrote.

- Here is the answer: band volume is kept at the lower end. The louder the music is played, the louder people will be. If they want to hear the music, they need to be quieter.
Doesn't anyone recall that blasting the eardrums was something big-time rock musicians protested themselves? And, louder is not better. Indeed, it kills the music. Turn down the volume.
- 2.
- After vacationing in Siesta Key for years we recently purchased a residence in the village. We were shocked at how loud the music has been, especially on weekends.It seemed as if each bar was trying to drown out the others, even thought they are just about on top of each other.
I hope the article is correct that the noise has subsided, however the holiday season is here and the students will descend upon us. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling I will get to know all of the deputies by name before long.

I am currently trying to get a refund from MLB.tv. Don't believe the ads that say, "Watch all the games on your favorite device". I have all the requirements needed to watch games. I have an HTC phone with Android 2.2. They are now saying this phone will not be supported. Also the tablet I have was just able to get games.
If you want to go to MLB.tv, go to their support forums and make sure your "Favorite Device" can actually do everything they promise.
I have a Roku and have had a bad problem with rebuffering. The Panasonic Smart tv I have doesn't have any of the extras they promised, such as watching 2 or 4 games at once. They didn't tell me thayt until AFTER the date I could get a refund. My internet download speed is a consistent 8 Mps. The minimum they require is only 3 Mps, but it still rebuffers at least once an inning.
Some people have had a lot of luck, hope you do too!
Forgive me but it sounds like you have some non-traditional devices. I have a PS3, dell laptop and an iPhone 4 that all work fine with it with no problems on 10MB internet. What kind of phone do you have? Is your Roku an older one or one that supports HD?

The Serti (closing or fence) technique is the silk painting technique where designs are outlined with gutta or water-based resists, which are applied to white silk that has been pre-washed, dried and stretched (on a stretcher). Once the gutta or water-based resist has dried, it acts as a barrier for the dye or paintkeeping the color within the outlined areas of the design and allowing you to achieve sharply defined borders. After the dye or paint has been properly set, the clear gutta or resist is removed and a defining line the color of the original fabric remains. Colored guttas and resists are also available that are meant to remain in the fabric. How it's Done: Prewash Your Silk Prepare Your Design Draw your design to scale on a piece of paper, first in pencil and then go over it with a black marker, this will be your template. Lay your silk on top of the template and with a pencil or vanishing marker, lightly draw your design onto the silk. With thick silks you may have to draw free hand but having your template will still help. Making a Stretching Frame There are a variety of types of frames you can use, depending on the size of the piece you are painting, your budget and what is available. Artist's canvas stretcher bars work very well and are sold at most art supply stores. Your frame needs to be soft enough to allow push pins or 3-pronged tacks to be pushed into it OR you can create a 'trampoline' effect with rubber bands and hooks or silk clips (see below). The last method is best if you are painting a piece that has pre-finished edges, make sure that the inside measurements of the frame, are at least 2-3 inches larger than the silk to avoid leaving bleed marks on the hem. In a pinch, you could also cut out a frame from a cardboard box. Stretch your silk onto your frame with pins, silk thumb tacks or hooks spaced every 4-6 inches along each side. If need be, you can link rubber bands together for extended lengths. Rubber bands are great because they will maintain the tension of the silk for you. The goal when stretching your silk is to create just enough tension so that the silk remains taut while you are painting but not so tight that it tears. Your piece may sag a bit once it becomes wet with dye or paint so you may need to adjust the pinning as you are painting. Placing upside down plastic cups or wood blocks underneath each corner of your frame will raise your frame a few inches above your table so that the silk does not have anything touching it. Apply the Gutta or Resist Fill your applicator bottle with resist and make sure the tip is on properly. Hold the applicator bottle vertically with the tip touching the silk. Using even pressure and a steady hand, draw your resist lines. Be sure there are no breaks or gaps in the lines, or dye will escape. Also check the back side of your piece to make sure the resist has penetrated all the way through. If it hasn't, dye can bleed under your resist lines so you will need to apply resist to the back side as well (this is more often necessary when working on silks heavier than 12 mm). Let the resist dry before painting (you can speed up the drying time with a blow dryer or heat gun). Apply Your Dyes or Paints Dip your brush into the color and apply the dye or paint sparingly to the center of an outlined area by touching the brush to the silk. Let the paint move to the resist line do not apply the paint too close to the resist as water-based resist may begin to dissolve if the line becomes too saturated. If there is a gap in your resist line that you didn't notice and the dye or paint starts escaping, you can stop the movement by drying it quickly with a hair dryer and then patch up the line with gutta or resist and let dry before resuming. When painting large areas such as backgrounds, work quickly, applying wet to wet to avoid unwanted lines. Set the Color Setting Dyes With Steam (Sennelier Tinfix Design, Pebeo Silk (Pebeo Soie), Jacquard Silk Colors (Green and Red label), Dupont French Dyes, Jacquard Vinyl Sulphon Liquid Reactive Dyes, and Dharma Acid Dyes) Setting Paints With Heat (Dye-na-Flow, Seta-Silk, Dharma Pigment Dye) Setting Dyes With Chemical Fixative Jacquard Dyeset for Jacquard Silk Colors (Can also be used with Tinfix Design) Removing clear gutta or clear water-based resist (not used in this example) Clear water-based resist is removed by rinsing in warm water. It comes out easily when used with iron-set paints, but some brands can be very difficult, if not impossible, to remove after steam-setting dyes. Once the resist is removed, hang dry, then iron lightly while still slightly damp. See our Gutta vs. Resist page for more details. If colored guttas have been used, do not dry clean (the color will come out with the gutta)! They are meant to stay in the silk, and there will be some "hand" or "feel" to the lines in the silk. Some people prefer to use the colored guttas on wall hanging pieces only, rather than on wearable art. Other Basic Silk Painting Techniques: Detailed patterns without resists can be achieved by priming the prewashed and stretched silk with a stop-flow primer which is left to dry before painting on the dyes or paints. Stop-flow, or No-flow primers cause the color to stay put rather than migrating. This allows for freehand painting without gutta or water-soluble resists. Think of stop-flow primers as starch-like sizing to prepare the canvas with. They wash out in the end. Watercolor Effects can be achieved by applying dye or paint to silk that has been pre-washed and put on stretcher bars whether or not you are using resists (but not if you are using stop-flow). Dyes or paints are applied to the silk with a paint brush, mist sprayer, eye dropper or other tools to achieve abstract effects. Spraying the silk lightly with water before adding color increases the flow of the dye or paint. Sprinkling silk salt on the piece when still wet and leaving untill completely dry before brushing off the salt, produces interesting textural effects. Applying alcohol to dye-painted silk can also create beautiful effects.

"It started with my family when they gave me several for Christmas in anticipation," said LaForge. "They were sort of a hopeful wish."
At the time, LaForge was campaigning to become DSU's eighth president after the retirement of Dr. John Hilpert.
"Whenever I came before the IHL board for interviews I would have on a green tie," LaForge said. "People would always comment on them."
And now that LaForge is more than two months into his new role, the green ties have taken on a special symbolic meaning.
"To this date I've worn a green tie to work everyday. It's another way to show the flag and create visibility for Delta State. Anywhere I go, this is my uniform."
True to his word, LaForge's ties have symbolized the school's color every time he's in business attire.
"Some of them are different shades of green but they all have green in them," he joked.
Friends, family and old acquaintances in town continue to contribute to his collection so he doesn't have to wear the same ties too often.
"In context, it's just a small thing in my job to show support and solidarity," LaForge added. "As an ambassador of the university, it just makes sense. It's green, it's Delta State — it just works."
The extra touch to his wardrobe has not gone unnoticed as LaForge continues his effort to connect with groups across the city, state and region.
"The first few weeks have been truly incredible — fast-paced and high energy. We're getting ready for the coming year and we're on the road promoting the university and advancing interest."
LaForge has attended numerous DSU functions and alumni events across the region and even Mississippi gatherings in Atlanta and Washington, D.C.
"We want to ensure the university remains on solid financial ground," he said. "Our twin sister challenge is boosting and stabilizing enrollment.
"I am optimistic that we'll attract new and more students. Delta State has a great message with all of its programs and we're working hard to get the word out."
For now, the green ties are the additional symbolic step "tying" everything together.
"The ties, for me, tie everything together as we keep Delta State on the road to remaining a Mississippi university of national distinction," said LaForge.
"In a quirky way, I wouldn't want to play the game at a high level without wearing the right uniform. The symbolism pushes it over the top.
"I wouldn't want to be picked off at first base without a green tie on."

The Dinosaur Stampede at Lark Quarry Conservation Park, where over 3,300 dinosaur tracks mark the site of the only known dinosaur stampede on the planet. In a remarkable piece of scientific detective work, scientists from the Queensland Museum have pieced together a dramatic tale of hunter and hunted from the footprints left behind.
... moreAbout 95 million years ago a herd of over 300 dinosaurs, some as small as chickens (called Coelursaurs) and some about the size of an emus (called Ornithopods) were drinking on the muddy shore of a lake. The herd panicked and started a mad dash to escape when a large meat-eating dinosaur appeared close by.
The stampede was recorded in the mud, preserved by the natural environment, and immortalised in stone. Preserved inside a modern building, this amazing Dinosaur Stampede is accessible to everyone at Lark Quarry Conservation Park. The starkly beautiful red earth and spinifex-studded landscape is a dramatic contrast to the moist green world that existed at the time of the dinosaurs.
... less
Children are well catered for. A free children's Activity Book is available on site and children enjoy the dinosaur displays. An animatronic dinosaur is also in the entry foyer.
There is access for guests with a disability.
Access Tour
Self drive for a on-site guided tour at 10.00am, 12noon and 2.00pm. Tours are available from Winton on a regular basis during April through to September. Carisbrooke Tours run full day tours three days per week and Matilda Country Tours run half day tours. Tours in other months are run on a request basis and based on minimum group numbers.
Entity Facilities
This is a cash only facility. There is no canteen available on site, but there are toilets, limited water and picnic facilities. This is the Outback, so please take food, water, hats and sunscreen with you.
Entity Restrictions
Wet weather access is difficult. Lark Quarry Conservation Park is totally protected. Please note that all plants, animals and features of the landscape must remain undisturbed. Do not walk on the dinosaur trackway surface as it is extremely fragile and easily damaged. Remove your rubbish when you leave. Camping is not permitted in the park and no animal should be brought to the park.
General Comments
Lark Quarry Conservation Park was established to protect this unusual element of natural history and its wonderful setting of red earth, majestic gullies, flat topped mesas and spinifex. A sheltered roof was then erected to protect the Stampede but it was still insufficient to protect the deterioration caused by temperature and humidity fluctuations, water run-off, dust, wildlife and people. Regarded as an important and irreplaceable part of our cultural heritage, an award winning ecologically sustainable designed building was erected in 2002 to protect the Stampede for future generations.
The Dinosaur Stampede at Lark Quarry Conservation Park is one of the first three places to be listed on Australia's National Heritage List in July 2004 and is referred to as the Dinosaur Stampede National Monument on their website.
The three main dinosaur tracks present belong to small tracks from the carnivorous Coelurosaurs, which were about 13 to 22 centimetres at the hip or the size of chickens; medium sized groups of tracks from the herbivorous Ornithopods, which were between 12 to 70 centimetres at the hip or the size of emus; and the large track of one flesh eating Carnosaur, each footprint nearly 60 centimetres long. It would have been 2.6 metres at the hip, a very large dinosaur indeed!
The Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways are set in the most awe inspiring landscape - amid the red earth, spinifex and jump up country. A walk, 'the Spinifex Circuit' is recommended to do after the tour of the Trackways to appreciate the present day flora and maybe some wildlife can be seen along the way.
How To Get There
Lark Quarry is located 110 kilometres south west of Winton, Outback Queensland. Approximately 40 kilometres are sealed and the remainder is on a well maintained all weather road, which is suitable for normal conventional vehicles. Please check road conditions before setting out.

Snapshots from our hike through the Olympic Rainforest. The place was just fascinating. Everything was covered in moss and the waters were crystal clear and fresh. The rain in this temperate rainforest wasn't drenching but very refreshing still. It was my first trip to a real rainforest in my whole life and I have a feeling it's not going to be the last.

Edson BarbozaTRAINING: Describing a typical week of training is easier than describing a day because each day I am doing something different. I train in New Jersey when I have a fight scheduled, and when I am off I usually train at Valor Martial Arts in Florida. For this fight, I've been usually training jiu-jitsu with my coach and corner Ricardo Almeida, doing wrestling at Elite, boxing with my coach and corner Mark Henry, Muay Thai with my Brazilian Master Anderson Franca, Strength and Conditioning with one of the best guys I know, who is Brian Blue at All Star. All of them are in New Jersey, and that has been my second home for two years. All of them make me train so hard. We have a great team with Frankie Edgar, Akira Corassani and Marlon Moraes. When and why did you start training for fighting? I began fighting professionally in MMA in 2009, but I've wanted to fight my whole life. What ranks and titles have you held? Renaissance MMA Championship, and Ring of Combat Championship Do you have any heroes? Jesus Christ is my hero. What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means a dream realized, but I don't want to just fight; I want to give a show for the UFC's fans. Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No What was your job before you started fighting? I have always been a fighter, since I was eight years old. Favorite grappling technique: Half guard Favorite striking technique: All combinations of punches and kicks

The Kobe 9 EM ($159.99, 11.8 oz.) has been feeding fans of the signature line with one colorway each in June and July, with another - in Peach Cream/Bright Mango/Cannon/Medium Mint - coming Aug. 28. This "engineered mesh" model features a breathable mesh upper, and dynamic Flywire locks the foot down while allowing full natural motion. Pressure mapping enabled Nike to properly arrange the Lunarlon dual-density foam cushioning underfoot.
The Hyperdunk 2014 ($139.99, 11.4 oz.), which releases a dozen colorways in August, retains the laterally oriented herringbone traction pattern of the outsole, replacing the circular foot pods with diamond-shaped pods beneath the points of heaviest foot contact. A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) brace cradles the heel, while Lunarlon dual-density foam returns in a full-length run through the midsole. Also returning is the Hyperfuse upper, while dynamic Flywire moves beneath that fused layer.
Nike's Zoom Soldier 8 ($129.99 and $139.99, 12 oz.) returns with "power flex traction," a textured outsole designed to grip the court like low-profile cleats while enabling natural flexibility. Cushioning the foot again are low-profile Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot, encased in Phylon lightweight foam. New is a more open mesh panel around the midfoot, designed to allow more breathability. The collar strap ensures a snug fit to the ankle and lockdown for stability.
If it's colorways you're seeking, the Lunar Hyperquickness ($109.99, 11.8 oz.) may be a good place to start. After releasing four colorways in July and dropping three more in August, Nike crushes fans with 30 in September. Mesh covers most of the upper, which is fused to add strength to its breathability. With a silhouette similar to the Zoom Hyperquickness of last season, Nike replaced the Zoom Air units with full-length Lunarlon dual-density foam cushioning. The outsole is cored to reduce weight as well as lend some visibility to the Lunarlon within.
For players running the point, Nike offers the Zoom Run The One ($99.99, 11.2 oz.). The Swoosh released three colorways in July and will drop two more in August and eight in September. The low cut frees up the ankle for those who rely on slashing quickness. Synthetic backing features cutouts to reduce weight while retaining support. The midsole wraps up on the sides to lend lateral stability and houses a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for low-profile cushioning.

Last year, I visited Santa's Village with my four daughters ages 7, 6, 4 and 3. They enjoyed it so much the first time we returned about three weeks later.
This year was daddy's turn to enjoy time with the girls at the park we used to go to as children ourselves. John had so much fun with the girls, he wanted to share his experience. Here it is in his own words. And the season isn't over so you still have time to enjoy a visit to Santa's Village.
My experience at Santa's Village, by John Garcia.
When I mentioned to friends I was going to take the kids to Santa's Village, I got a few responses along the lines of, "Oh yeah, I went there when I was a kid. I thought it was closed down." Well, it's open, and it was one of the best times I've had with my kids in quite a while.
Located in East Dundee, just off I-90, Santa's Village has been around for decades. They closed a few years back, but have reopened with more of a focus on little kids, families, and their petting zoo. In fact they call it an 'Azoosment park'. And as I considered the options of where to go on a summer day with the kids, I thought about Six Flags, and all the work that would take. It's a lot of fun and I love it there, but for a Dad with four young girls it's probably a little more of a challenge than I was ready for.
Santa's Village is less expensive, less crowded and much closer for those of us who live in the western suburbs. As soon as we walked through the doors, my kids were debating about what ride to go on first. But with no lines to speak of, there was no real problem going on every ride they wanted to go on several times.
Most of the rides are best suited for younger ones. My three year old loved several of the train, truck and horseback rides. But, she and her older sisters all got on the tilt-a-whirl (with Daddy along for the younger ones) and shrieked so loud you probably heard them downtown. When it was done, in one breath, my youngest exclaimed "That was scary!" In the next she said, "Can we do it again?" Yes we can, but Daddy needs a break to clear his head!
The roller coaster is tame by big amusement park standards, but it was just fine for my kids. The oldest two were excited to ride together without an adult. They had to go a couple times. Then, we made our way over to the petting zoo.
Most of the petting zoos I've been too feature tame farm animals in cages that you can feed and pet. There is plenty of that here. But they also have an area where the animals roam freely among the human guests. They are very tame, and pretty well-fed from the looks of it.
We took a break for lunch, which you can bring from home into the park if you like. We opted to buy it at one of the concession stands there. And then we made our way to the highlight of the trip. Santa apparently keeps office hours at his village in the summer, and we got to meet him! There was no waiting in line. Santa greeted us at the door of his office, invited us in and closed the door. He posed for pictures with the kids, then gathered them around for a short discussion about how they are doing this summer.
The kids were so impressed, they forgot to go into the standard litany of all the toys they want him to bring them for Christmas. For Dad looking on, it was truly a special moment that I know I won't get too many of.
I remember my own visits to Santa's Village when I was a kid. A lot has changed. The most important thing is stronger than ever. It was a great opportunity for family bonding. The memories of this visit to the old amusement park, I hope, will stay with my kids forever. I know they will with me.

The servers at Indian Chillies helpfully walk first-timers through the extensive menu. Their suggestions cover a range of timeless and modern dishes, from the tandoori chicken—praised by the Sun Sentinel for its "scrumptious charred exterior"—to Indo-Chinese chow mein. Though the kitchen staff labors over several zesty entrees, they specialize in smaller plates, such as samosas, halal chicken wings, and various flatbreads.
Vegan, vegetarian, and meaty plates satisfy diners of all persuasions, whether they're perusing the menu or loading the buffet onto the back of their truck. As their ears bask in Bollywood tunes, guests can finish up by sipping a mango lassi or savoring gulab jamun, a lightly syruped dessert of milk-and-cottage-cheese balls.
The "Desi" in Ellie's Desi Kitchen refers to the diaspora of people from South Asia settled in all parts of the world?a fact reflected in the diverse range of dishes in the restaurant's menu. Guests chow down on an eclectic spread of steaks, chicken po' boys, veggie stir-frys, fluffy naan bread, spicy curries, and their specialty, a spicy chicken sub. The decor also reflects the cosmopolitan flavor of the bill of fare. Wall scrolls of flowers and birds hang over tables laden with American ketchup and mustard bottles, while a photomontage places Machu Picchu, the Roman Colosseum, and the Taj Mahal side by side?just like they are in real life.
The selection of Indian-inspired eats at Thali is far-reaching. The menu covers fish vindaloo, ginger lamb curry, and vegetarian daal tarka--lentils simmered in mustard, cumin, and chili. Diners can also sample Chinese-influenced dishes with a list of manchurians that includes cauliflower cooked with tomato, masala, and ginger-garlic sauce. Fifteen types of bread, from unleavened roti to chili garlic naan, accompany dishes and serve as a secondary napkin or tertiary baby hat.
Accomplished chefs trained in India and London whip up Indian dishes in Mint Leaf's Coral Gables and Miami kitchens. The restaurant imports specialty ingredients straight from India, as well as equipment such as granite stone grinders from Mysore, which help make batter for dosas, uthappams (similar to pizza), and other dishes. House-made cottage cheese mixes with a spinach puree in the saag paneer, and curry leaves and mustard seeds mingle with fish filets in the macchili curry. Nine varieties of flatbreads, from plain naan to kulcha stuffed with onions and coriander, scoop up bites of chicken tikka masala and lamb korma. Bollywood music videos play in the background as customers dine amid Mint Leaf's Indian art and sculptures, including carved stone statues of the god of bobbleheads.
To ensure the authenticity of their menu, Tandoor & Curry's proprietors hired a chef who draws upon more than 20 years of culinary experience, including many spent cooking at restaurants in Delhi, to infuse traditional Northern Indian flavors into each of Tandoor & Curry's dishes.
Before cooking skewered hunks of chicken and beef, the kitchen slathers cuts in a precise blend of Indian herbs and spices. They then slides them into a clay oven that reaches 500 degrees, the approximate temperature of the headband the sun uses to cool off. They can also cook chunks of chicken, goat, or lamb in creamy spinach, traditional curry, or creamy almond-cashew gravy. Along with meat-heavy portions, cooks produce housemade cottage cheese in creamy spinach sauce and simmers kidney beans in cream and butter.
Imlee. An Indian Bistro's creative kitchen staff blends local and imported ingredients in its array of vegetarian, chicken, seafood, and lamb dishes. In this way, they have been serving the Pinecrest community a small taste of India since 2003. The menu spans several regional traditions of Indian cooking, from North Indian clay-oven-baked meats and naan to South Indian chicken madras, in which boneless chicken is saut?ed with black mustard seeds and curry leaves. The menu also features more than a dozen vegetarian dishes, such as mutter paneer?green peas cooked with spices and herbs and mixed with housemade cottage cheese.
Much like the dishes, the restaurant's dining room pays homage to the subcontinent. Beneath a billowing red cloth that meanders across the ceiling, alternating red and yellow walls host patterned artwork and surround metal sculptures. In this artistic ambience, diners peruse the wine list's ample pairing options or just dip the list itself in sweet tamarind chutney.
