A seemingly perfect marriage. Two beloved children. A drug bought online. And a terrible question... What made this mother secretly abort her baby a week before it was due?
Tight-lipped: Sarah Catt has refused to co-operate with police after pleading to aborting her unborn child in the final week of her pregnancy
For several weeks after Sarah and Stephen Catt's Caribbean wedding, both their families talked about how impossibly romantic it had all been.
Watched by their two young children as well as their parents and siblings, the bride and groom exchanged vows at the end of a wooden jetty jutting out into the sea on the island of Antigua.
The couple were so overcome by their emotions, according to one who saw them, that they cried throughout the entire ceremony.
It seemed a fitting tribute to the pair's loving, decade-long relationship, which began when Stephen, a 41-year-old electrical engineer, met Sarah Moran when she was working as a barmaid in his local pub in Bridlington, North Yorkshire.
the time they tied the knot, the pair already had two children, a
ten-year-old girl and eight-year-old boy, who were bridesmaid and page
boy at the wedding.
an outside observer, the fact that Sarah fell pregnant again shortly
after her May 2009 honeymoon would have seemed like the icing on the
But three years on from that dream wedding, the couple's apparently idyllic relationship has taken a nightmarish twist.
This week, 35-year old Sarah pleaded guilty to aborting her unborn child in the final phase of her pregnancy after illegally buying a drug via the internet.
In a highly
unusual and disturbing case which has left police officers baffled, no
one knows whether the baby was alive or dead when it was born — or,
indeed, what happened to it afterwards.
Sarah, who works as a secretary for a translation company in York, still refuses to speak to investigating officers about what she did with her child, despite the threat of life imprisonment hanging over her.
Her devastated husband is also said to be entirely in the dark about both the pregnancy and the horrifying way in which it was deliberately ended.
However, the family confirm that Stephen — who is back at the family home with their children — is standing by his wife.
As things stand, Sarah Catt, whose bail address is a tiny bedsit near Leeds, appears prepared to take her secret to prison with her when she is sentenced in September, leaving those who attended her picture-perfect wedding utterly stunned.
'None of my family has been told anything,' says Sarah's father-in-law, Roger Catt, who knew nothing of his daughter-in-law's crime until he read newspaper reports of her appearance at Leeds Crown Court this week.
'We thought we knew Sarah, but maybe we didn't know her at all.'
His wife, Pat, who is stepmother to Sarah's husband Stephen, admits that the worst possible thoughts have come into their minds, including questioning Sarah's fidelity — particularly considering Stephen works away from home about one week in every four.
'She has done a terrible, terrible thing, but she must have had her reasons because she is quite right in the head.
'We thought she was absolutely fabulous so we are asking ourselves: "Why would she do this? Why did she not confide in us? Why would she put us through this?" '
Officers from North Yorkshire police are still asking similar questions.
Chief Inspector Kerrin Smith told the Mail this week: 'Sarah Catt has not co-operated with the investigation at any stage and so the question: "What happened to the baby which Catt was carrying?" remains unanswered. To date, no child or remains of that pregnancy have been traced.'
Certainly, those who know the mother-of-two find it hard to comprehend that she could do something so desperate as to abort her own baby so close to birth.
On the surface, at least, the Catts seemed no different to any other young close-knit, middle-class family. Sarah was born in Bridlington, North Yorkshire, to Judy Moran and her husband Jim, a former radio engineer who ran a tobacconist shop in the town until his retirement. She has two brothers, Christopher, 32, and Stephen, 37.
Two years ago, the Morans moved from Bridlington to Sherburn-in-Elmet near Leeds to help Sarah and Stephen care for their children.
'Sarah has the most wonderful parents, family and brothers,' says Pat Catt. 'They are such a close-knit family.'
'Sarah Catt has not co-operated with the investigation at any stage and so the question: "What happened to the baby which Catt was carrying?" remains unanswered. To date, no child or remains of that pregnancy have been traced.'
When she met Stephen, Sarah was working part-time as a barmaid at The Seabirds Inn in Bridlington while studying to be a paralegal secretary. She eventually found work in a solicitor's office in York but, a couple of years ago, changed jobs and moved to work for a translation company in the city.
When their son first introduced his new girlfriend, the Catts were delighted by her. 'She's a wonderful and lovely, intelligent girl,' says Pat. 'We just can't believe what has happened.'
But strangely — and perhaps significantly — the family recall that when Sarah fell pregnant with each of her two children, she did not realise she was expecting until she was well into the second trimester — at around six months. Stephen broke the news on both occasions,' recalls Roger, 'starting his announcement by saying: "I hope you're sitting down . . .'"
But once the children arrived, Sarah appeared to throw herself into motherhood wholeheartedly.
According to her father-in-law: 'She has two lovely children she adores. She has always been a doting mum.'
Summers were often spent with picnics on Bridlington beach where the family had a chalet. Sarah and Stephen were also keen music enthusiasts and enjoyed attending Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight Festivals.
But in August 2010, just a couple of months after she aborted the baby, the Catts moved to a different house in Sherburn-in-Elmet in Leeds.
Those who lived close to the Catts at their former address had no idea that Sarah was ever pregnant — or that the pregnancy had been ended barely a couple of months before the family moved.
'She never looked pregnant while she was living here,' says one neighbour. 'In fact, she had lost quite a bit of weight in the previous year.'
In the months before they moved, Sarah decorated the sitting room of her home with wedding photographs from Antigua.
'They were so happy at going abroad to get married,' says another neighbour who used to feed Sarah's cat when she was away. 'She was so proud to show off the photographs.'
'She was a nice, bubbly girl. The children were beautiful. They were always well turned-out. They seemed a normal happy family. They went out to picnics and the park and did normal family things.'
But there were hints that all might not have been plain-sailing in the couple's relationship.
Another neighbour reports hearing the couple rowing frequently. 'They used to have some right old ding-dongs,' she says.
And not long after the Catts moved elsewhere, the new owners of their terraced home began to be pestered by debt collection agencies, searching for Sarah under her maiden name, Moran.
'The people who bought their house had no end of trouble from the bailiffs,' says the neighbour who heard the Catts arguing. 'They had to put a notice in the window saying: "Sarah Moran doesn't live here any more. Debt collectors and bailiffs stop contacting us." '
Stephen's father and stepmother, Roger and Pat Catt, say they were not aware of any problems in Sarah and Stephen's relationship — although looking back, they say they saw less of Sarah than they would have expected over the past couple of years. 'Stephen came to visit, bringing the two children for trips to Bridlington beach,' says Pat.
'We saw Sarah at their new home and were treated like royalty. No one said a word about any problems. She obviously kept her pregnancy secret.'
She admits over the past few days the family have agonised over why she would have done such a thing.
It was in March 2010, less than a year after the Catts' wedding, that Sarah underwent a hospital scan which revealed she was two days short of being 30 weeks pregnant. Whether or not she knew that she was expecting before then is a mystery.
Pat Catt believes that judging by how long it took Sarah to realise she was pregnant during her previous two pregnancies, 'she would not have known she was pregnant'. She adds: 'The other times it took four to six months for her to realise.'
The May 2010 hospital scan was the only ante-natal appointment Sarah kept, but once her details were registered on the NHS computer system, the alarm was raised by medical staff when no birth was registered.
According to Chief Inspector Kerrin Smith, when Sarah was questioned by police, she would only say that she had undergone a legal abortion. Chief Insp Smith says: 'Throughout the investigation she has claimed that this pregnancy was terminated legitimately even though that would not be legally possible.
'A legal termination can be carried out only up to 24 weeks in normal circumstances unless there are dire medical requirements to go beyond this. There were none in this case.'
While Sarah's husband appeared to know nothing of what his wife had done, a search of the family home and checks on Sarah's computer revealed that she had purchased medication to facilitate the labour and delivery of a child.
The date of purchase revealed that she must have taken the drug in the final week of her pregnancy, at a time when the baby would have been perfectly viable.
The drug she used was misoprostol — usually prescribed to prevent steroid-induced gastric ulcers.
The drug causes powerful uterine contractions and opens up the cervix and is widely used to induce medical, rather than surgical, abortions.
Although misoprostol is legally available in the UK only when prescribed by a doctor, it is easily available via US-based websites which sell the drug under the brand name Cytotec for around £2 each.
Information is readily available about what dosage should be taken to induce an abortion depending on how pregnant a woman is. The drug, which can be taken orally or vaginally, usually starts to work within four hours.
What happened after Sarah took the medication she ordered online is perhaps the most disturbing part of this story.
Considering how advanced her pregnancy was, her baby could well have been born alive. Indeed, in the months that followed her initial arrest in September 2010, police checked national databases for abandoned babies in the UK and conducted DNA tests on those born at around the same time. All the tests were negative.
For now, then, police believe Sarah Catt's child is dead but the tragic events that drove her to commit such a desperate act have yet to be unravelled.
Sarah Catt and her parents declined to discuss the case when approached by the Mail this week.
A relative insisted: 'The family have no comment. There are innocent people involved here, including children. In the circumstances, it's best to say nothing.'
Having pleaded guilty to administering poison with intent to cause miscarriage, Sarah is due back in court on September 17 for sentencing but will first undergo a psychiatric assessment.
The outcome of this will be crucial in helping The Honourable Mr Justice Maddison decide how to deal with her. This week, he hinted at the unique nature of the case when he said: 'There are highly unusual circumstances here.'
In many ways, of course, what happens next will largely be determined by Sarah Catt herself.
If she has any hope of eliciting even a shred of sympathy from the court, she must open up about what on earth drove her to such an act of desperation.
For now, however, she remains obstinately tight-lipped, refusing to tell anyone why she decided to end her unborn baby's life and, more importantly, where that infant is now.

If immediate treatment is given, many eye ailments will be cured in lesser time and with long-term results. Those suffering from diabetes should take special care in this respect and get timely treatment without fail, said noted ophthalmic surgeon Dr. Muppa Madan Mohan Rao.
Dr. Rao advises patients not to neglect minor complaints about their eyes as such a step would cost them dearly in the long term. Latest equipment and advanced modes of treatment have made it possible to carry out surgeries and cataract operations with little strain for the patients, who can go back home without having to spend much time at the hospital.
To make quality treatment available to local people, Dr. Mohan Rao acquired an operating optical microscope which has been brought from Chennai recently. With this, micro surgeries could be performed with great precision and best results.
Speaking toThe Hindu, Dr. Rao said that there is an immediate need to extend the benefit of such latest surgical procedures to meet the emerging needs of people. With an optical microscope, magnification typically meets the requirements of micro surgeries and components used will be effective in sterilizing or disinfecting, to ensure cross infection control.
Dr. Rao's hospital, named Vaishnavi Eye Hospital, was inaugurated in the presence of dignitaries including former MP Gadde Rammohan at Pinnamaneni Poly Clinic Road.
With more than 10 years experience at Coimbatore and several other places, Dr. Mohan Rao worked at some of the prestigious institutions. His objective in launching operations in the city was to ensure availability of quality eye care to more sections of people in view of the increased demand and also enhanced awareness among the people.

Bigger Man Tips
Get your game face on before you step foot into the gym. Spend 10 minutes thinking about what you're about to do; see yourself with that giant back and those incredible arms.
This visualization/focus period is important. If your brain isn't ready, your body can't do what it needs to.
When you get into the weight room, it's time to do work, not socialize. Put on your headphones, crank up the music, and pay attention to what you're doing. There's a time for chit-chat, but that time is not now.
Exercise Tips
You need to hit at least 10 reps per set. If you need to take a little rest, or get someone to spot you, do it. On the other hand, if you can get to 15 reps, put on a weight belt. These pull-ups should be challenging. They'll get easier over the next 12 weeks, so add weight and/or decrease rest as necessary.
Pull-ups are a great exercise to do at the beginning of a workout because they're very functional. They're also going to create that width you want.
Make sure you keep the elbows as wide as you can, squeeze at the top of the repetition, and control the eccentric (lowering) phase of the move.
For this exercise, grab a belt for some extra support. If you don't have one, don't worry; you can still perform the movement. As you begin, keep your back flat and your butt lower than your hips.
Fully contract your lats on your way up and fully extend on your way down. Like pull-ups, this movement is great for building a wide back.
On the last set, go to failure. But don't stop there. Strip some weights and keep going. It should be tough. No matter how difficult these are for you, don't let your form suffer. Bad form leads to injuries. Injuries lead to less growth.
This movement is great for lat length and it targets your lower lats. Since we've been focusing on width, the close-grip pulldown will help build density and depth. Your back should be wide and thick.
To really isolate your lats, keep your elbow as close to your body as possible and pull towards your hip. Don't use straps unless you absolutely need to. Instead, try to build some forearm and wrist strength, which will help you with multiple movements.
If you feel too much strain in your arms, you need to lighten the weight. All emphasis should be on your lats, not your shoulders or arms. I think it's good to incorporate two rowing movements into any back program to accentuate the back's thickness.
Keep your chest high as you bring the weight down. The stretch is just as important as the contraction: the further you stretch, the better the contraction. Between sets, stretch out your lower lats.
Your grip should be wider than shoulder-width, and you should be concentrating on the last two-thirds of the movement. Don't lock out your elbows at the bottom. Your elbows should be pinned to your side for pure biceps contraction.
For the second two sets, we're going to cheat a little. Now, that doesn't mean jerk backwards; it means you should use just enough momentum to get the weight up. You're still focusing on pure biceps contraction.
At the top of the curl, turn your wrists out and bring your pinky up to really help bring out that lower cut on your biceps. Get a full range of motion by stretching all the way down without locking your elbows.
On the last sets, I bring my legs up and cross them so I only use my biceps to lift the weight. I can't use any momentum from the floor to help me. It's pure contraction for peaked-out biceps.
Supersetting these two exercises targets your brachialis, building biceps thickness and emphasizing your peak. This finisher should also deliver a sleeve-splitting pump.
If your biceps aren't swollen to the point of bursting, you need to lift heavier and work harder.

Put a a 45 lb bar on the floor in the corner of the gym and load one side up with weight. Using a triangle handle (one used for close grip cable pull downs) put it under the bar at the end with the weight...... boom your very own TBar row

Dogswell has launched a national contest to raise awareness for animal adoptions in honor of National Pet Month. As of May 19, 2014, consumers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite no-kill animal shelter to win a professional photo shoot for their adoptable dogs.
The contest will run for four weeks. An announcement will be made on June 30 with the name of the winning no-kill shelter. Fifteen adoptable dogs from the shelter will get their "picture perfect" moment captured by Kaylee Greer from Dog Breath Photography. The winning shelter will also receive a six-month supply of Dogswell food.
"Dogswell is proud to celebrate the efforts of shelters across the country while showing that something as simple as a picture can increase a dog's chances of getting adopted," said Dogswell CEO Brad Casper. "We are thrilled to partner with Kaylee Greer to help these dogs make the best 'first impression' and increase their chances for a healthy and happy life."
To vote for your local no-kill shelter, visit the #Smile4DogswellContest tab on Dogswell's Facebook page, as well as the respective shelter's Facebook page to like and/or share the Dogswell-branded post throughout the month of May.

This is a recipe for a delicious Israeli breakfast called Shakshuka... OMG it's so good! I like it for lunch as well.
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2, 3 or 4 garlic cloves, minced
2 red or green bell peppers, chopped
8 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 cans diced tomatoes, strained or 1 28-ounce can
1-1/2 tsp. paprika
1-1/2 tsp. turmeric
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tsp. sugar
4 - 6 eggs
Place large frying pan over medium heat, add oil and heat.
Add onion and saute until lightly browned.
Add garlic and bell peppers, and saute for a couple of minutes more.
Add fresh and canned tomatoes, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add paprika, turmeric, salt, pepper and sugar.
Stir for 1 minute.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Gently crack eggs into pan, taking care not to break yolks.
Simmer until whites solidify but yolks remain slightly runny, about 8 minutes, or as per personal preference.
Then you eat it with freshly baked bread... or pita I guess would work. Dip the bread in and enjoy. Mmmmmmmmmm
Divine Banana Pudding
2 boxes of banana instant pudding
4 cups of milk
3 Ripe Bananas
1 can of condensed milk
1 8oz package of cream cheese left out on counter to soften
1 tub of whipped cream
1 bag of Pepperidge Farm animal cookies
First you will mix the cream cheese and condensed milk together in a bowl. Then you will mix the pudding mix and milk together in another bowl Do not let it set because you will need to add both mixtures together. Once you have added and mixed the pudding mixture with the cream mixture you can add half of the whipped cream to make it fluffer or just use it as a topping.. Then you cut up the bananas but do not mix those in mixture
So now you layer in a casserole dish. Lay out the cookies on the bottom, add some of the pudding mix, then sliced bananas then whipped cream and continue to layer until you have reached the top. You will finish with the cookies on the top.
Honestly the best Banana Pudding you will ever eat!

As soon as I saw this, my favourite quick cheesecake recipe came to mind! This is the best, easiest cheesecake in the world. I make it for hubby and I all the time in my little heart shaped pan which is just enough for 2 servings.
Basic Cheesecake Recipe
1 package cream cheese, room temp or softened breifly in the microwave (standard 250 gram package) (can use light version)
1 large egg
1/4-1/2 cup white granulated sugar
Cream the cream cheese until smooth. Add the egg and beat until fully combined. Add sugar and beat to combine, starting with 1/4 cup then adding more if you like it a little sweeter (taste it at this point).
This can be used anywhere. Double, tripple as needed. You can add flavours too at this point. Here are some options:
-for plain cheesecake add 1/4 tsp vanilla per "basic" recipe of cheesecake.
-for fruit flavours, add 1/4 tsp of any fruit essence/flavouring and fold in up to 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit (berries, peaches, etc)
-for chocolate cheesecake, experiment to taste by adding 1-2 tablespoons of powdered cocoa to the basic cheesecake (make sure it's sifted well to avoid any lumps). You may need to add closer to the 1/2 cup sugar for this one as the powdered cocoa is unsweetened and can be bitter (use dutch process if you can find it)
-alternately for chocolate cheesecake, you can add melted chocolate of any kind to taste (dark chocolate, white chocolate, mint chocolate). I like using those "bakers" brand squares - 1 square per basic recipe above.
-Irish Cream cheesecake - add a few tablespoons of irish cream liquor (Bailey's) and 1 tsp powdered cocoa.
-Mint Chip, add 1/4 tsp mint flavouring per basic recipe cheesecake and just before putting in the pan, add 1/4 cup mini chips folded into the batter.
I never use the same crust twice. I just use what I have on hand. I usually just melt some butter into some graham crumbs and press into the pan. You can make the crust recipe on the side of the Graham Crumb box and it works well.
Another great crust option is to use flat vanilla or chocolate wafers in the bottoms of muffin tins lined with muffin papers for mini cheesecakes!
I swear - try this recipe it is AWESOME and foolproof and so easy!
my favorite- and I've gotten compliments on this any time I've made this for friends/family and a special dinner for a good friend.
Eggplant Pastitsio
a low-cal version of a Greek Favorite- makes 4 servings
a type of a greek lasagna dish.
2 TB veg (or olive) oil
1 lg eggplant, peeled, cut into 1 inch cubes
I also add in 1/2 pound ground turkey/chicken/lamb, or ground beef or 1/2 and 1/2 mix of any of the meats above.
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine (or water or broth)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp dried oregano
4 eggs, beaten (to save further on this, I use 2 whole eggs and 4 whites instead of 4 whole eggs)
1 1/3 cup lowfat cottage cheese (I use the salt-free cottage cheese, but you could use the fat-free as well)
2 TB grated parmesan cheese
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni or penne pasta (I use whole-wheat)
Heat oil over medium heat in lg non-stick skillet. Add eggplant and onions. Cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low.
(NOTE: if I use ground beef/Turkey/chicken I cook that first, drain, set aside, and then add in at this point.
Stir in tomato paste, wine (or water), salt and spices. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine eggs and cheeses.
Spread 1-1 1/2 cups of the eggplant/meat mixture in the bottom of an 8 inch square baking dish that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Top with macaroni, then cheese mixture, then remaining eggplant mixture.
Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes.
I often double this recipe and freeze portions for later.
great for left-overs and large groups/potlucks

Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake
1 box of Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix
1/2 stick of butter, melted
Mix the two together and press onto the bottom of a (lined on the bottom) 9 inch spring form pan and up about 1 1/2 inches on the sides. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes and set aside. Reduce heat to 325.
1/4 c dark chocolate chips
1/4 c heavy whipping cream
3 pkg of light cream cheese, softened
1 c sugar
1/2 c dark baking cocoa
3 eggs lightly beaten
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Melt the chocolate chips in a pan or microwave, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and add the whipping cream, mixing well. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the cocoa. When mixed well, add the eggs while beating on low until all is combined. Stir in the vanilla and chocolate sauce until blended. Pour batter onto the crust and bake for 40-50 minutes until the center is set. If using a convection oven, it may take less time. Cool the cake for one hour.
1 1/2 c dark chocolate chips
1/4 c heavy whipping cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Melt the chocolate as before until smooth. Remove from heat and add the whipping cream and vanilla until well mixed. Spread over the filling. Cool the cake for 10 minutes and the carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen. Refrigerate overnight.
Remove sides of pan and slowly peel the parchment paper from the bottom and place on plate.
1 1/2 c heavy whipping cream
1 tbs sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla
miniature chocolate kisses
Whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff and decorate the cake with the whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate kisses and strawberries if desired. Serves 12-16 people. It is incredibly rich, but very delicious!

This is the best ever home-made Chicken Salad!!! I like to eat it on fresh croissants, but it's great by itself as well!
Chicken Salad Recipe
2 cups cubed cooked chicken (I use boneless chicken breasts cooked in the crock pot)
2 cups chopped celery
½ cup chopped pecans
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated onion (I always use red onion)
½ cup mayo
½ cup boiled salad dressing (see recipe below)
lemon juice to taste
may add white grapes (I always do)
Boiled Salad Dressing
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup vinegar
½ cup water
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Whisk all ingredients together and pour into a double-boiler, cooking until thick. Make sure you stir it pretty constantly. Dressing can be made 2-3 days in advance. Refrigerate before adding to the chicken salad.
My favorite recipe to make me and DH? Lentil Sausage Soup! Both heart healthy and delicious. Serve this with homemade crusty hearth bread and peach cobbler for dessert, you're good to go
Lentil Sausage Soup
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils, rinsed
1 cup chopped carrot
8 cups water
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Place sausage in a large pot. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Add onion, celery and chopped garlic, and saute until tender and translucent.
Stir in lentils, carrot, water, chicken broth and tomatoes. Season with garlic powder, parsley, bay leaves, oregano, thyme, basil, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover, and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until lentils are tender. Tada!
Homemade Chili and Cornbread Muffins
This is romantic because it's the first meal I ever cooked for DH and it's still a family favorite. We actually just had it last night!
1 lb coarse ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 onion (chopped)
1 TB minced garlic
2 cans stewed Mexican Style tomatoes
1 (small) can green chilis
1 can beans (drained) - your choice, but I like black beans
1 TB cocoa (NOT sweetened)
salt to taste
pepper to taste
chili powder to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
smoked paprika to taste
In a large pot, saute the onions in a bit of butter until soft and clear. Add meat and cook until brown and crumbly. Add garlic when meat is almost browned. Drain the meat/onion/garlic mixture and return to the pot. Add tomatoes, green chilis, cocoa, and spices to taste. Bring to a boil, and then turn down and simmer on low heat for at least one hour, the longer the better. About 20 minutes before you are ready to serve, add beans.
Serve with cheese, avocado slices, sour cream, and corn bread muffins (recipe below)
Corn Bread Muffins
1 cup corn meal
1 cup all purpose flour
4 TB sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease a muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Combine dry ingredients, then mix in wet ingredients and mix well until you have a nice consistent batter. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan (it takes about one large heaping spoonful per muffin to break it into 12 equal portions.) Bake at 425 for 20-23 minutes (or until muffins are golden brown) turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Tell your little ones that they are "cupcakes" and they will eat them up.

The lawncare company did grounds work at Arlington National Cemetery and met with senators on the hill.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Representatives of PBI-Gordon Corporation, a national leader in the professional turf and ornamental management industry, traveled to the nation's capital to participate in two annual events coordinated by the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET), the national trade association for landscape industry professionals. The outreach included the Renewal & Remembrance volunteer cleanup and maintenance event at Arlington National Cemetery and a Legislative Day on Capitol Hill. On July 28, 2014, PBI-Gordon's product manager Jim Goodrich, sales representatives Scott Wanzor (Georgia) and Ray Funkhouser (Virginia) joined hundreds of landscape and lawn care professionals from across the nation for Renewal & Remembrance. The volunteers spent the day mulching, upgrading sprinklers, cabling and installing lightning protection for trees, pruning, applying lime, planting, and aerating the soil throughout the cemetery. "I'm a U.S. Navy veteran who fought for our country, and it means so much to be able to give back and honor the fallen – those who gave the ultimate sacrifice fighting for the rights provided by the U.S. Constitution – and to help preserve this national treasure for generations to come," Goodrich said. "This is my fifth year participating in Renewal & Remembrance, and it is always an honor and a privilege to take part in this event." The day began at Arlington National Cemetery with a ceremony featuring a joint color guard and speaker presentations to dedicate the day of work helping to maintain the hallowed grounds. "Our members look forward to this opportunity each year to give back to the individuals who gave their lives for their country," said PLANET president Jim McCutcheon, Landscape Industry Certified. "We consider it a privilege to be able to volunteer our time and talents to such a worthwhile project. Many PLANET members have special connections at the cemetery either through relatives and friends who are buried there or through their own military service." On July 29, 2014, the three PBI-Gordon representatives and hundreds of other PLANET members converged on Capitol Hill to meet with their senators and representatives and discuss a wide array of issues impacting the landscape industry, including H-2B, over-regulation and Lyme disease related legislation. "This event allows our industry members to meet with their elected officials and discuss issues that are extremely important to their businesses and the lawn and landscape industry as a whole," McCutcheon said.
While city officials in a Maryland county discuss halting certain pesticides, LCOs should build relationships with local officials to educate them on the topic.
Start spring off on the right foot with a fully equipped crew.
Whether you are a man or woman, the qualities of a true leader are the same.
Prepare tools, and crews, to go back to work.

"Scam Artists! Our order placed in mid November for Christmas arrived in mid January. The clothing does not fit. The sizes are all too small. When we tried to get a return request they are refusing to give it to us. Giving us a run around. I think likely stalling for the 15 day return time to run out. This company is NOT REPUTABLE. One quick look at reviews show 1/3 of reviews on a site like Jabber are very upset with their purchase and can't return it. Do Not Buy from Tidebuy."
"We purchased a sweatshirt for my daughter for Christmas from this company. On Christmas day she opened it. It was suppose to be a 'Plus size', it was more like a childs size 12/14. My daughter wanted the biggest she could get as we know from experience Asian sizes run small, but this was ridiculous. My 8 year old cannot wear it. It was $30. + shipping and yes it was shipped from overseas.
The return policy states you have 15 days to return it, not helpful when it takes most of this time just arriving to your home in the U.S.A.. Then it was a gift, so how would I know if it would fit until after she opened it? I went back and forth with customer service, they wanted order numbers, reasons, and they kept sending me the same e-mail over and over again requesting information in poor English, wanting to know why I wanted to send it back. I never reached an actual human being. Eventually after several e-mails and getting no where I gave up, they took my money and ran. Later, this same sweatshirt was marked down to $8. and change. My daughter was extremely disappointed. It was a certain style that she had been wanting along with color. We've yet to find another similar. I will never ever buy from them again, and I do not recommend that you do either. Their customer service is poor, if non-existent if you have an issue. I will no longer buy anything from foreign countries such as this as your better off spending the extra $$ here in the U.S., even if you don't find exactly what you want. They've ruined it for others out there, who may actually be honest."

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Dubai developer Emaar Properties has threatened to cut access to facilities in the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, including elevators, over a dispute related to service charge payments.
According to Abu Dhabi's The National newspaper, access to elevators, gyms and pools, as well as air conditioning, were due to be cut off on Saturday, before tenants were given a reprieve.
Emaar is said to have issued warning letters to tenants last month to residents that had not paid the fees.
"Burj Khalifa is a thriving lifestyle environment today, and we are committed to the welfare of the residents," the company said in a statement emailed to Arabian Business on Monday.
"The service charges for residents go to the management and maintenance of the common areas, for the overall and long-term welfare of all residents.
"While most homeowners have paid their service charges, it has been noticed that a few owners are yet to make the payment. A circular has been issued to remind and urge residents to pay the service charges to ensure the seamless management of the common areas and other community amenities.
"For the welfare of all residents, it is the responsibility of individual homeowners to make the service charge on time."
The 830m-tall Burj Khalifa, completed in 2010, contains residential apartments from floors 19 to 108.
Emaar has previously named and shamed residents that do not pay service charges at its Arabian Ranches development.

Posted by: Kamran Sunday, 16 February 2014 2:07 PM[UAE] - UAEAs a tenant in one of the Burj Khalifa apartments, I signed my lease with the Al Fardan Group without knowing that they had not paid the fees. On Jan 29, the management served a notice on the discontinuation of amenities an elevator access which become effective Feb 7. Now I go up and down to access my car by walking on the ramp which is meant to be driven.
I feel like a hostage in the fight between two wealthy groups Emaar and Al Fardan Group which is owned by one of the wealthiest families in Dubai. While greed has an insatiable appetite, I cannot understand why I have been taken hostage. In the long run, everyone impacted is encouraged to write and spread the word so other bystanders do not fall victim to the tenancy of this white elephant.
Posted by: Doug Friday, 14 February 2014 5:37 PM[UAE] - UAECongratulations guys - the story has now spread out of Dubai and is being picked up by media outlets across the world.
Great PR for Dubai, Emaar, and the Dubai real estate market, eh? Well done Emaar,Posted by: Telcoguy Friday, 14 February 2014 8:14 PM[UAE] - UAE@Doug, Where is the apologist brigade when you need them?
This is such a great opportunity to tell people to take the airport road! Specially after walking down 2000 stairs? actually they could make "fitness" the main theme of 2020
@Heather, short of buying a fit-bit I see no solution. At least I will not provide some useless and sanctimonious advise, just keep in mind that blaming the victim (special if foreigner is the main past time here, maybe the only one that is not forbidden/sin)
@Gilbert, yes nobody likes free-riders but the solution is not to take a bystander as hostage and hold him for ransom. Well, here it clearly is, I wonder where this comes from
4 years ago I joked about this, considering this an impossible event. I considered that both this building and the Palm, because of their iconic nature, would be safe from snafus. Oh boy I was wrong.
Posted by: Paula Abbott Thursday, 13 February 2014 7:06 PM[UAE] - USANahkeel has done similar things to us on the Palm. First, it restricted beach access too only those up to date on fees. THEN they added key access cards to the building- and you could only get the access cards if you were uptodate with fees. NOW- they are not letting maids/workers into your building if you are not up to date with the fees. There needs to be a foreclosure allowed on behalf of the building- if the owners do not pay up.
Posted by: Telcoguy Thursday, 13 February 2014 4:32 PM[UAE] - UAE@Gilbert,
A tenant signs a contract in January and pays in advance for one year, then the landlord stops paying? no amount of due diligence will prevent this from happening
This is not the right way to address the issue, it may take some time for you to understand it, but i think it is worth the effort
@SA1, I am not sure your comment is accurate. I have seen similar situations in Marina, pools out of work for months (or longer) only 1 elevator working for a 30 something levels building?
The messy legal system puts everyone at risk here:
-As a tenant you take a huge risk, paying 12 months in advance and having no legal recourse
-As a landlord you are caught between the less than professional management offered by the builders and the landlords who are either unable or unwilling to pay
As a tenant at least I have an earlier exit option, but this is a real mess, and I see no intention to fix it. Maybe because it only impacts foreigners, and the local companies benefit from it

Posted by: SA1 Thursday, 13 February 2014 12:51 PM[UAE] - UAE@Heather - choose not to stay in Burj. There are many other good buildings and very good landlords/management. Though not exactly high on status address.
In the rent you pay for Burj and the bing sournding it, you can have quality and stress free living elsewhere.Posted by: Heather Mills Wednesday, 12 February 2014 3:58 PM[UAE] - UAEDear SgnI78, I am a resident of Burj Khalifa and I live on the 106th floor. Are you honestly suggesting that I walk the 1,927 stairs to get to my car in the morning, and the same upstairs when I get home from work. Should I also go home for lunch it would take me so long to get up the stairs I would have to leave for work before I finish my sandwich. My friend wants me to take her to the cinema tonight which means that I would be downstairs 3 times and upstairs 3 times a day: 6 x 1,927 = 11,562 stairs.
Do you have any other ideas to spite the company as this one doesn't sound very appealing in practical terms?
