text: TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Caltrans might be able to build a road, but it takes a community to build a bike path.Last Thursday afternoon, a large crowd gathered outside Jake's On The Lake to commemorate the opening of the Tahoe City Lakeside Trail — representing the missing link through Tahoe City between the West Shore Trail/Truckee River Trail and the North Shore Trail."This is not just a trail, it's a promenade," said Tahoe City Public Utilities District Board President Judy Friedman. "It's a $12 million miracle mile."The idea for the project was first seeded in the 1980s. However, due to a lack of funding; the regulatory requirements of numerous agencies; and the complexities of working with a cornucopia of private and public property owners, the planning process became arduous and long — so long, it spanned the lifetimes of several careers. The first phase was eventually completed in 2001, with the final phase completed this June.Thursday's ceremony recognized — amid a shanty of bike bells handed out to children in the audience — current and former TCPUD board members and staff, project designers and contractors, and property owners along the trail.When current TCPUD General Manager Cindy Gustafson received her award, the crowd — audience and award recipients alike — gave her a standing ovation. Gustafson was involved with the Lakeside Trail project even before she worked with TCPUD, and was instrumental in initial fundraising for the project.The California Tahoe Conservancy, an organization that donated $5.8 million, was one of the largest financial contributors to the project. The North Lake Tahoe Resort Association, which contributed nearly $1.8 million, was next.In a twist from the usual, both agencies actually received refund checks, as other funding sources helped take up the rear — NLTRA received $325,000, and the conservancy got $700,000.All in all, nine sources of monetary support were identified, including California State Parks, Placer County, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Caltrans and the Tahoe Fund.Easements and general cooperation were required from the U.S. Forest Service, State Parks, Placer County, the Fred Motemedi andamp; Family, Tahoe City Marina, Boatworks Mall and Safeway.Among those on hand was Joanne Marchetta, executive director of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, who said the agency has a major interest in building bikeable, walkable communities."We will build a bike path that circumnavigates the lake," she said enthusiastically.Several people in the crowd raised a skeptical eyebrow at the comment — considering that while the plan has been discussed for years of a lakewide bike path, funding for one currently does not exist — and Marchetta pointed at one particular person who could not hide the doubt that crossed his face and playfully shouted, "I saw that!"As for now, locals and visitors are happy just to have the new link.Courtney Clark — a mother of two children, 6-month-old Grady and 2-year-old Asher — and a Tahoe City resident, was beaming with excitement last Thursday when she pointed at the bike trailer she towed behind her bike."Now I'll be able to get here with my boys," she said.Bill Cushway, part-owner of the Olympic Bike Shop, sat with his 19-year-old son, Nilo, watching the event. For the past 30 years, Bill said, the bike shop has accounted for a fourth of his income."My shop can't survive on repairs and sales only. We need rentals," he said. "We've been here for 35 years. Without the bike trail, we wouldn't have been here at all."

Patrick makes history, wins pole for Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. � Danica Patrick has won the Daytona 500 pole, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any race in NASCAR�s top circuit.
It was the biggest achievement of her stock-car career.
�We have a lot more history to make, and we�re eager to do it,� Patrick said.
Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session Sunday and covered the 2�-mile superspeedway in 45.817 seconds, averaging 196.434 mph.
She waited about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off.
Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph in qualifying. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in Sunday�s season-opening Daytona 500.

Pistorius� career put on hold as he deals with defense
JOHANNESBURG � Oscar Pistorius� track career was put on hold indefinitely Sunday because of his murder charge, reinforcing the possibility that the double-amputee Olympian and disabled sports icon might never run again competitively on his famous carbon fiber blades.
Pistorius� agent was forced to cancel all future races, he said, so Pistorius could concentrate on defending himself against allegations he murdered his model girlfriend by shooting her several times in his upscale house on Valentine�s Day morning.
Reeva Steenkamp died from gunshot wounds suffered inside Pistorius� home in the predawn hours of Thursday. Pistorius was arrested and charged with her murder the same day. His family denies he murdered her.
�I have decided that following these tragic events that we have no option but to cancel all future races that Oscar Pistorius had been contracted to compete in,� agent Peet van Zyl said in a written statement late Sunday night.
A few hours earlier, Van Zyl had visited his athlete at a police station in the South African capital, Pretoria, where he is being held in custody in a red-bricked, one-story building with green metal fencing.
Merrick not only plays at home, he wins at home
LOS ANGELES � John Merrick was a young face in the crowd at Riviera for so many years, dreaming of one day playing the fabled course on the PGA Tour.
On Sunday, he did better than that. He won on it.
Merrick hit two clutch shots that led to two pars in a sudden-death playoff and won the Northern Trust Open on Sunday when Charlie Beljan missed a 5-foot par putt on the second extra hole.
Merrick, who closed with a 2-under 69, became only the ninth player make this tournament his first PGA Tour victory. It could not have come at a better place. Merrick grew up in Long Beach, attended this event as a kid and went to school down the street at UCLA.
It was a tough finish for Beljan. He holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to close with a 4-under 67 and wind up in a playoff.

Obama's Emergency Economic Plan Released: Second Stimulus Check & Growth Funds
|Email Print
In early June, Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama's mentioned a need for another stimulus check. Then, in late July, there were rumblings in Congress that Democrats were looking to put together another stimulus package that may or may not include a check to families. There was a move by Democrats to try to pass the aspects of the first stimulus package, which included a check, that were struck down in the name of expediency.
Senator Obama released this six-page policy paper that outlines a two-part stimulus package.
Part 1: Emergency Energy Rebate Checks: The first part would include an "emergency energy rebate." Individuals would receive $500 and married couples would receive $1000. The checks would be paid for over five years by a windfall tax on oil company profits. The six-page document explains the nature of the checks but doesn't illustrate how the windfall profits might be taxed (granted, given the political nature of the document, it might be out of scope).
Part 2: $25B State Growth Fund & $25B Jobs and Growth Fund. The second part has itself two parts. The State Growth Fund would help prevent state and local cuts in services like education and housing assistance as well as alleviate the need to increase taxes, tolls, and fees. Many states are feeling the pinch as housing prices fall, foreclosures rise, and real estate tax revenue falling. The Jobs and Growth Fund is really an infrastructure bill that would support maintenance of highways, roads, and bridges; as well as fast-track school repair projects. There is no mention of how this would be funded.
My Thoughts: I didn't like the stimulus checks but having listened to their use in the 70s in Greenspan's anecdotal Age of Turbulence, I'm not wholly against them as a mechanism for thwarting an economic slowdown. However, it's becoming increasingly evident that the checks are as much about politics as they are about prevent a slowdown. While I would imagine the economic policy advisors on Obama's staff are well versed in macr- and microeconomics, I wonder how much of it is influenced by a desire to win in November.
That being said, people are getting pinched. Not everyone is getting pinched, but a lot of people are and additional funds would help some remain solvent. My concern is that with a deficit nearing half a trillion dollars, we're sacrificing our future prosperity for relief today. This is exactly the same thinking that gets many people into deep credit card debt. "Just a little more relief…"
Finally, what are the chances this actually happens? Democrats had difficulty extending unemployment benefits and those go only to those who have already lost their jobs. You can argue that some people getting the first stimulus checks didn't need them, but unemployment benefits only go to those who are unemployed! It's difficult to say if this plan would even fly, but it makes for an interesting discussion. So, what do you think? 🙂

Martinez, California is a small town in Northern California. Obviously. Its the heart of "antiques and tweaks." Because downtown Martinez is just filled with old antique stores. So you see how much fun Martinez is? And tweaks because the hobos are so famous you know their names. Example: Ulla. We have one highschool called Alhambra Senior High. If you live here, your parents and their parents and their parents went there. One middle school and 4 elementarys. This town is very into tradition as well. "GO DOGS!". Everyone here takes pride in the good ole' American Football Games. We have a marina too. Martinez also has the nicknames/ abreviations: refinery town, dtm, or mtz. The typical kids you see here are football jocks.cheerleaders. anime weirdos. stoners. ghetto gangster gather kids or better yet wanksters ahaha.

We talked about designing end zones if you had the final call (Salvador Dali inspired end zones, Van Gogh's "Starry Night" etc.) Then what we would paint on the ice if you could do anything. I chose to poke our new playdates with a stick.

The 49th annual Skills-USA National Leadership and Skills Conference concluded Friday in Kansas City, Mo., with five Vanguard-Sentinel Career and Technology Centers students coming home with medals.
The teamworks team of Salvador Cantero III of Fostoria High School; Austin Kelbley of Mohawk High School; Jacob Serviss of Seneca East High School; and Jacob Welly of New Riegel High School earned a bronze medal; for the computer programming competition, Kelsey Johnston of Fremont Ross High School earned a bronze medal; and nurse assisting competitor Veronica Province of Columbian High School earned a bronze medal.
"I feel that I did the best I could do," Province said. "I am just glad that I did place today."
Province said that she wasn't nervous during the competition, but before. She had to conduct skills such as a job interview, check vital signs, hand-washing, range of motion and mouth and denture care.
Two students walked away with first-place medals during the ceremony Friday - collision repair technology competitor Aaron Maki of Columbian High School and telecommunication cabling competitor Logan Robinson of Bettsville High School.
The win for Maki was "unbelievable and wonderful," he said.
"It was different. I was nervous on how I would do," Maki said. "There were changes with the competition, but I practiced enough and I placed gold."
Robinson said he owed his hard work to his advisor, Floyd Collins, digital technologies instructor at Vanguard.
"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been here." Robinson said. "I had a great teacher who pointed me in the right direction and gave me advice on what to look up and, if I had questions, he was there to answer them."
Robinson said he had an hour and 15 minutes to install a cable system.
"The physical installation of the cable was the hardest part," Robinson said. "I had just enough time."
"Everyone did an outstanding job this week," said Elissa Heal, director for Sentinel. "They are all champions at work. All the students have true character and are very skilled and intelligent and have bright futures ahead of them. The staff at Vanguard-Sentinel couldn't be prouder of their students."

I brought the groceries in the house and snuck the test upstairs. I think hubby was home by then. I nervously took the test and there was definitely one line and one very faint, if you squinted the right way, second line. I remember feeling a numbing sensation and an excitement. We had planned to have at least two or three kids, but thought maybe that would be after two years of marriage. It had only been 6 months. But I had a hard time hiding my delight.
I asked hubby to sit with me in our living room, and I really gave him a scare at how serious I was. He was so excited to hear this possible news, to my great relief! We went out and bought several more tests (like 5 or 6 or 7, I think) and every one of them had that light second line. Little Noah was in our hearts and in my womb.

A Ken-Ton middle school teacher resigned his job Wednesday after pleading guilty to felony charges involving sending a lewd photo to a student via cellphone.
William Kuhn, 42, of Town of Tonawanda, pleaded guilty to disseminating indecent material to minors, a second-degree felony.
This is the highest charge for which he could have been convicted had he gone to trial, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Kuhn confessed to sending a photo of his genitalia via cellphone to a 14-year-old student in April.
Kuhn, who taught and was the band director at Kenmore Middle School, was placed on administrative leave by the school district in May.
Along with his resignation, Kuhn was required to surrender his state teaching license as part of the plea.
He faces a maximum prison sentence of 1 1/3 to 4 years when he is sentenced Oct. 24 by County Judge Kenneth F. Case.
Mark P. Mondanaro, superintendent of the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda School District, wrote to district parents about the guilty plea.
"I want the parents and this community to be assured that when concerns were first brought to the district's attention Mr. Kuhn was immediately removed from the classroom as well as the district's buildings and (contact with) students, the matter was reported to law enforcement, and the district cooperated and worked with those entities," Mondanaro wrote.
Rosanne E. Johnson, chief of the district attorney's Special Victims Bureau, prosecuted the case.

Don't know but I'd like to see that catfight. last but not least, didn't those 2 robots get scrapped long ago? 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
i don't know about the rest, but the voltron vs tranzor z one, voltron hands down.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is in legal hot water.
The rapper, 37, has been charged with one misdemeanor count of domestic violence and four misdemeanor counts of vandalism after an alleged run-in with a former girlfriend, according to Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer.
Jackson allegedly injured the unidentified woman and destroyed $7,100 of her property during an altercation at her Toluca Lake, Calif., condo on June 23, the City Attorney says. The exes had been in a three-year relationship and had a child together.
"Regardless of perceived celebrity or notoriety, domestic violence is a serious crime and alleged perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by this office," Feuer says in a statement. "We will continue to look out for the safety of all victims of domestic violence and seek justice for the alleged crimes."
When officers responded to a call, they observed broken chandeliers and broken furniture, a ransacked bedroom closet and broken television through the living space, according to the City Attorney. Jackson fled the scene before officers arrived.
"Curtis Jackson denies these allegations as made against him. It is important to note, Mr. Jackson has not been arrested and there is no warrant outstanding for his arrest," the rapper's attorney Scott Leemon said in a statement.
"We have been in contact with the LA City Attorney's Office and are currently conducting our own investigation into these allegations. Out of respect for the legal process, we will not be commenting any further at this time."
If convicted, Jackson faces a maximum penalty of five years in jail and $46,000 in fines.
Arraignment is scheduled for July 22.

Jean-Philippe Courtois, president of Microsoft International, in an interview with Reuters, delved into the topic of tablets. When asked whether Microsoft was concerned about the iPad and other tablets affecting the company's dominance of the PC market, he states, "Devices are going to go and come." Microsoft is currently partnering with Intel to roll out 10 or more Windows tablets this year. But those tablets, like the currently available HP Slate 500, don't have an operating system refined for touch (they run Windows 7). And while they may offer compatibility for some files that competing tablets cannot (e.g. the iOS-powered iPad and Android devices), they are expected to also have inferior battery life, as Intel Atom SoCs are currently less power-efficient than competitive ARM SoCs used in these rivals. In the long term Microsoft plans to fix those problems by embracing ARM and releasing a version of Windows fine-tuned for tablets. Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer announced that Windows 8 will support ARM processors at CES 2011. Much like Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Microsoft's Windows 8 will also have a build refined for a touch-driven tablet world. But Windows 8 may not arrive until 2012 -- or later. Recent reports revealed that when tablets are factored in to Apple's PC market share, it jumps to number two on the list of top worldwide PC sellers, passing Dell. And Android devices are heating up too, with the Samsung Galaxy Tab selling well and Honeycomb devices launching this Spring. Mr. Courtois says that even if Microsoft faces an uphill battle in the tablet market, those problems will be offset by Microsoft information technology gains in developing markets. He states, "We see some growth across the world both in developed countries and in emerging countries and that helps the IT spending (outlook)."
quote: quote:The previous generation of tablets failed because they were not good productsAnd why? Because there was no competition.quote:Apple is very, very good at supply chain.Apple is very, very good at fleshing out their closed ecosystem. They are not so good at integrating into other ecosystems.quote:What's noticeable is how hard competitors are finding beating Apple's tablet pricesAre they even trying? It's obvious that Apple is the 800 pound gorilla in the tablet space; it's hardly a unique business tactic to avoid a direct, head-to-head market clash.quote:Except against Apple (the new Apple post Jobs return). Zune went no where.An excellent example of a product in which Microsoft's advantages don't come into play. The Xbox benefits greatly from Microsoft's excellent developer tools and documentation; such is hardly a major plus in a consumer media player.

Linux games gain traction in 2013
Will 2013 finally be the year of Linux gaming?
There has been some debate and consideration in recent years about when the Linux gaming platform will officially gain ground. Critics and market skeptics have wondered when it will really take off and when it will be Linux's turn to procure large portions of the market share. New games and gaming consoles geared toward this system have left many asserting that 2013 will finally be the "year of Linux." But why?
In the past, it seemed that those who were promoting and predicting the role of Linux were not aware of what problems it had. Disasters such as losing id Software, faltering in its support of the company, and Epic Games infighting made the path to success difficult. The question of where the Linux desktop platform and the software would fit in the gaming landscape has also been called into question in the past. Yet, these controversies have seemed to subside and the key to Linux success is being predicted not on the desktop particularly but in the gaming world. It is in the games that Linux is ready to make its mark in the coming year.
Linux and Valve
One of the greatest reasons why this is to be Linux's year is because of the growing support from Valve who runs Steam. Now, anyone who has a Linux Steam account can open the portal to many games. The Steam Linux account is a connection that fosters game play and has allowed for publishers to take notice. New games are being produced for Linux runs and that means increased revenue and notoriety. Valve has even taken their faith in Linux a bit further, creating a game console based on Linux. The result has been Valve's increased interest in promoting games and titles that will catch users' attention and keep them playing on the system more and more. More game titles for Linux and a new Valve game console means more opportunities for Linux to take advantage and grow.
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition is a game that should be ported on Linux and that may be among the most popular of the names behind Linux's move to the potential forefront of gaming. In this game, the Dungeons & Dragons loving players will be entered into world of mythical and mysterious creatures. New characters are available in this expanded edition with its enhanced gameplay that offers individuals the chance to be more human or more mutant in their looks. Each chapter that opens in this multi-chapter game takes time and patience, as well as skill, to navigate through. The enhanced play that is included when this game is purchased coupled with an already strong fan base, make this a potential turner of tides for the Linux ports and gaming systems. Time will only tell but the anticipation and the publicity behind this game are already creating more interest in Linux than was seen in past years and highlights games' impact on the future of Linux.
Wasteland 2
Wasteland 2 is a game that profits from people's love of role-playing games (RPG). In this graphically stunning Linux-port equipped edition, the game players enter into a post-apocolyptic game scenario. They are in charge of their character and must navigate through the world that has been turned into a wasteland of disease and depravity after disasters destroy the majority of the human and living populations. Hours of fun can be had on this visually impressive game and the depth of play with all of its involvement and needed gameplay are sure to have Linux users impressed. This could be another great title that could help Linux grow in gaming in the coming year.

Interesting article. Value is for sure driving an interest in Linux as a gaming platform with the Steam Box (announced in CES 2013) running on Linux. The turning point would certainly be when the popular console/PC games (any COD fans here?) have been ported to Linux with reasonable performance. Legendary games like CS:Source and Half Life are already available.
I might add to this list the gradual mainstreaming of independent game development, that is, "Indie" games. Indie games are becoming more popular in a general sense, and they are much more commonly available for Linux. They don't individually create the numbers of a large "triple A" title, but their numbers are becoming respectable enough to add up.
It's interesting to see all the popular indie games because it's reminiscent, to me, of the early days of computer gaming where one person, or a small team of developers could have a lot of success in the market. It's been said for years now that things have changed and those days could never be repeated, but the modern indie movement certainly looks a lot like those days to me.
And Steam is installed by default in Linux Lite to! I beleive they are the first distro to have done this.
Well I for one am proud and glad to see that there's more options other than the "Box"...or the "Station" out there!....and being a BIG supporter of Linux I would add that this is going to be a match made in Heaven as more and more indie label games are added to the Steam roster, I can see the majors having their curiosity piqued, and who knows?....they might be tempted to offer a few titles from their catalogue! I can honestly say that Linux is moving in directions that it has long been destined for! Long Live Open Source!
I hate to say this, but how many times have we heard the great hope story about mainstreaming gaming coming to Linux? I guess one of the key things about Linux is also its major obstacle and that is freedom. Users can use a myriad of Linux distributions and fine tune it like no other, but without any universal standardization gaming companies understand the configuration and coding nightmare (costs) they are up against. Look at the Android OS and how robust their app store has become in such a short period of time. Some may say this is apples and oranges, but I think there is a lot to learn there. Maybe it will take a company like Steam to actually bring the portability that no one else has been able to do so far. Bottom line is I too continue to hope that I will no longer have to dual boot OSes just so I can play a game…
I agree that there's a large deal of "variety" when talking about Linux, but in all actuality there's only about three or four "source-codes" out there.....most distros are based on either "Debian/Ubuntu"......RHEL/CEntOS/Fedora.....or BSD kernels and cores. What separates a lot of these distros from each other is mostly badging..and the desktop environment.....surely it can't be THAT hard to write code for three to four versions of the same kernel?...I dunno I'm not a programmer, but it just would be nice to "hear" about "modern Warfare 2" running on Fedora Linux....or something like Skyrim running on Debian.....but hey the future is looking a lot better than it did in the past.....here's to hoping!

"Contrary to previous erroneous reports, Shia LaBeouf has not checked into a rehabilitation facility but he is voluntarily receiving treatment for alcohol addiction," his rep says in a statement.
"He understands that these recent actions are a symptom of a larger health problem and he has taken the first of many necessary steps towards recovery."
The news comes after a string of bizarre behavior from the former Transformers star, 28, who gained fame on Disney Channel's Even Stevens.
In February, the actor walked out of a press conference and wore a paper bag over his head at the premiere of Nymphomanic in Berlin, just a month after he said he was leaving public life.
LaBeouf told Parade magazine in 2009 that he was "working … to be a better person."
"I have no answers to anything. None. Why am I an alcoholic? I haven't a damn clue! What is life about? I don't know," he said about injuring his hand in a 2008 car crash that left his driver's license suspended. (He refused a chemical test at the time.) "What I do know is, I screw up."
LaBeouf was charged June 27 with one count of criminal trespassing and two counts of disorderly conduct. He will reappear in court later in July.

App grows our Expo coverage, too
App grows our Expo coverage, too
Have you added our app to your Expo toolbox?
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
Twenty-eight years ago, Hoard's Dairyman's World Dairy Expo supplement was launched and became a staple in our September 10 issue. This year we reached a new milestone, printing the largest Expo supplement to date at 70 pages.
Furthering this growth, we launched another tool to enhance your Expo experience last year: our World Dairy Expo App. With over 5,200 downloads, we thank everyone who installed and made use of the app. For this year's show, you will either need to update last year's app or download the 2013 version.
We've all asked similar questions while preparing for and attending the show: "Where's that booth?", "Where can we eat around here?", and "What time does that show start?"
We've provided all of those answers in one convenient place.
If you're keen on seeing a few shows or sales, the app's schedule tells you when they're occurring. If it's an exhibitor you're looking for, locate their booth on the map and you can be on your way. And if you've come to learn, the seminars and virtual farm tours are listed for easy access.
While the core contents of the app have remained the same as last year's, we have added Twitter for this year's show. All of our tweets (@HoardsDairyman), along with those containing World Dairy Expo's hashtag (#WDE13), will be streamed for you to view.
The free app is available to anyone with a smartphone or tablet. Download the app by searching "World Dairy Expo" in the Apple App Store (iPhones and iPads), Google Play (Android devices) or Blackberry App World. All other users can visit m.core-apps.com/wdexpo-13 to use the app's features in their internet browser.
If your plans for October include a stop in Madison, be sure to download the app and stop by our booth in the Coliseum or Exhibition Hall. And in case you can't find us, your interactive maps can help you get there.
No matter how far you've traveled we can all appreciate the feeling of community Expo has created despite the event's truly global scope. Our app can help it feel a little more like home.
This year's app is brought to you by Bayer Animal Health.

"Hey wake up."
"Uh who are you and who am I?" asked the boy
"My name is Laura," "Are you ok?" questioned Laura.
"I Think I am fine, owww my head hurts," Whined the boy.
"Come inside and lay down you may feel better." kindly requested Laura.
"Thanks," the boy responded.
"Laura who is that?" Laura's mom questioned.
"That's my new friend but he does not know his name," Laura Answered.
"Hey little boy where are your parents?" Asked Laura's mom.
"I don't know who or where they are," Answered the boy.
"Well lets get you some new clothes," Suggested Laura's mom. "Well there is not much in here for boys so lets see . . . we have clothes from my husband but hmm, ah here is a dark blue t-shirt it will be a little big but you will grow into it. Here are some tan shorts but they will work as pants for you."
"Thanks for the clothes, but may I lay down for a while?" asked the boy.
"Sure and I will send Laura to get some herbs," responded Laura's mom. "Laura go get some herbs from the nearby field and take the sickle." Laura's mom demanded.
"Ok, be right back" Laura responded as she headed to the nearby field. "These should be the herbs," Laura said to herself as she started chopping. After picking the herbs Laura headed back home. Laura announced "I am back."
"I'll prepare the herbs and Laura get the boy some water and a proper breakfast," Laura's mom commanded.
"Here you are," announced Laura as she gave the boy some water and a piece of steak.
"Thank you Laura," said the boy.
"Lets see, what should we call you," pondered Laura, "hmm . . . ah I know how about Luke?"
"Sure" Answered Luke.
"Here they are and why don't you drink some of you water with the herbs, it might help" Laura's mom suggested.
"Thanks for all the help" Luke said.
"No problem" answered Laura's mom, "Lets see you look around the same age as my 11 year old daughter, Laura, so if you want to stay here you will have chores to do" Insisted Laura's mom.
"I would like to be called Luke," requested Luke "And I can do chores,"
"Ok go with Laura to get some fresh mushrooms from the near by field plus get some water from the river," commanded Laura's mom.
"Ready to go Luke," asked Laura.
"Were you eavesdropping on me?" Questioned Luke.
"Luke, we have to go," Nagged Laura.
"Fine," whined Luke.
As they went to the field to collect some herbs Luke asked "what is that thing Laura?"
"That is a giant black Rambear, we should just stay out of it's way," Laura explained.
"Why should we stay away from it?" asked Luke
Laura answered "It's huge and it's just a baby, so if we disturb it its mother it will most likely attack us, oh and also the mother can get to10 feet tall,"
Luke questioned "Is it me or is the Rambear getting closer?"
"Run Luke" Laura demanded as she rushed toward the Rambear. "I'll stall the Rambear as you run Luke,"
"Why?" asked Luke
"Because I am a faster runner," answered Laura
"But I can not just leave you here" Luke said
"Ok then lets step back and regroup so we can charge at it," Laura explained as she jumped back.
As they charged Luke saw someone and Inquired "do you know who that is behind the Rambear Laura?"
"Yes I do Luke, that is my dad" Laura answered then screamed "hey dad help us!"
"Run Laura!" Laura's dad shouted. "I will take care of the Rambear while you run!". Laura's dad charged at the ram bear with his giant broad sword and screamed "Die!" as he stabbed the Rambear in the chest.
Back at the house Laura's mom asked "Where are the mushrooms and water," as the door slid open
"I'm back," announced Laura's dad "oh and sorry about Laura and her friend not being able to get the chores done, they were attacked by a baby Rambear and I got there just in time,"
"Anyway lets introduce ourselves to Laura's friend, Luke," Laura's mom suggested.
"Ok, I am Richard Akron," Richard said.
"And I am Susanne Akron and you are welcome to live with us," said Susanne. "Oh and go to the other side of the field to finish the task I requested you to do and if you see a Rambear runback home,"
"Wait before you go take my old bow it may give you a chance to run if you are attacked," suggested Richard.------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 Mistakes Every Movie Monster Seems to Make
#2. Invading Other Franchises Always Ends in Disaster
New Line Cinema
In Freddy vs. Jason, Freddy Krueger brings Jason Voorhees back to life and sets him loose in a sleepy Midwestern hamlet to mutilate the screaming Jesus out of a bunch of teenagers, the idea being to generate enough fear for Freddy to use as energy to power his jailbreak from hell, because nightmare-prowling murder demons apparently operate on the same logic as Monsters, Inc.
New Line Cinema
"Bitch, I'm not scared of you. I've dealt with Beyonce's ego."
Here's the problem: Jason is terrible at alliances, to the point that I'm pretty sure he never even knew they were on a team. The two end up battling, which is an unfortunate turn of events for Freddy, because he is a spindly pedophile dressed like a private detective at a Christmas party, whereas Jason can swing a machete with the aggregate forearm strength of 17 professional linebackers and is roughly the size of a triceratops.
New Line Cinema
"As I pause in this moment of quiet reflection, it is suddenly clear to me that many parts of my plan were terribly flawed."
Freddy ends up right back where he started -- dead, and with nobody to terrorize. He would've had better success teaming up with Whoopi Goldberg's character from Ghost, which incidentally is a movie I want to see immediately.
#1. Overcomplicating Their Revenge
New Line Cinema
A fair amount of slasher movie monsters are chopping people up to satisfy some bloodthirsty vengeance they feel they are owed. Invariably, they end up sabotaging themselves with lofty revenge schemes that are entirely too complicated to succeed.
For example, Freddy Krueger wants revenge on all of the people who chased him down and burned him to death, and considering he was a child murderer when he was alive, it makes sense that he would target their children now that he is a blazing infernal fury ghost. And he has an incredible power to do so -- he can just kill the kids in their dreams. Seriously, that is one of the mightiest special abilities in the history of superhuman murderers.
New Line Cinema
Yet another poor teenage girl having to fight off the unwanted advances of a guy with a fedora and bad skin.
But Freddy spends way too much time building up to each murder -- he'll haunt the kids for a few weeks, tormenting them with those pre-emptive nightmares I mentioned earlier, before finally delivering the death blow. That gives the teenagers enough time to band together to solve the mystery of his identity and figure out a way to stop him, which is the precise chain of events that occurs in every single movie.
New Line Cinema
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me over the span of six sequels, a crossover, and a reboot ..."
If Freddy just burst into each kid's subconscious like a detonating zeppelin and tore a screaming hole through their face in a single nightmare, there'd be no issue -- a bunch of inexplicable yet unrelated cases of teenagers dying in their sleep. Nobody would be able to start passing around stories of a guy in a sweater and a Wolverine glove trying to flay them in their dreams, and nobody would ever find out that Freddy had come back from the dead. He could go on killing people until the end of time, and we'd never have any goddamn idea what was happening. We'd think it was aggressive sleep apnea or something.
New Line Cinema
"No! The mask! Why didn't you wear your sleep mask?"
In Halloween, Michael Myers' ultimate goal is to kill his sister Laurie (it isn't revealed that she's actually his sister until Halloween II, but whatever, I'm calling the shots here). So he busts out of his mental hospital, boosts a car, and races back home to their neighborhood at the speed of a frenzied maniac ... to spend three-quarters of the movie stealing a headstone and stalking two other girls who have nothing to do with anything, just so he can set up an elaborate corpse diorama for Laurie to discover:
Dimension Films
He went the extra mile with the jack-o'-lantern, too.
And it isn't like Michael had trouble finding her -- he follows Laurie around for the entire day, but the second night falls, he gallops off and murders three other random people who have absolutely no connection to him. If he'd just gone straight to Laurie's house, rang the doorbell, and punched her in the eye socket with a fistful of carving knives, that would've been it. Boom, revenge complete.
Michael was already on borrowed time -- he's an escaped mental patient with a history of violence, and his doctor knew exactly where he'd be going. He should've just run Laurie over with the car he stole from the hospital and kept right on driving, all the way down to Mexico. Instead, Michael literally wastes the entire day locked in a long-distance staring contest with the back of his sister's head before lumbering away to kill a handful of total strangers, giving the authorities enough time to show up, rescue Laurie, and launch him out of a second-story window on a rocket ship made of gunfire.
Dimension Films
"I was actually hunting down the monster that made The Love Guru, but you'll do."
Revenge doesn't need to be an ornate death ceremony, guys. Just get it over with and move on. Jason has the right idea -- he's mad that the teenage counselors at Camp Crystal Lake let him drown, so he immediately supermurders any teenager he finds as hard as he possibly can, with whatever object he happens to be holding at the time. None of this "waiting for the perfect moment" nonsense -- Jason is in it for the numbers.

By the way I made your spasagna again! It's a hit in our house!ReplyDelete
How did you read my mind, Brandie? Just like that - I want some! Please.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean in regards to beef stoganoff being comforting - I love it! Although I have never made it with minced beef before, I usually use strips of beef - but this looks far easier! XReplyDelete
Yum I love beef stroganoff!ReplyDelete
I will NEVER purchase the box stuff again!!!!!ReplyDelete
Oh Yummy! I cannot wait to try this. I've only ever made Stroganoff with cut up beef. Ground beef will be SO much easier! I just bought several pounds too so I think I'll add this to my menu this week! Thanks so much for sharing it!ReplyDelete
Yummy! This sounds just like my mother-in-law's recipe - can't wait to try it :)ReplyDelete
I made this last weekend and my husband and I nibbled on it several days. I did substitute light sour cream and reduced fat soups but it is an amazingly easy comfort food! Definitely staying in the from of my recipe binder!
I Make a stroganoff very much like this but I use cream of mushroom with roasted garlic soup and my family loves it.ReplyDelete
We had this for dinner tonight.... my husband claims he doesn't like stroganoff, but said he would try it because he has only had it with the chunks of beef (stew meat).... he really like it!! I served mine over rice instead of the noodles for something different and we really enjoyed it:) I haven't made one thing from your site that we haven't liked. Thank you so much for the great recipes!!ReplyDelete
Hi Casey! Thank you SO much!! I always appreciate feedback and I'm so happy this was a winner for you. You made my day! Thank you!ReplyDelete
This was soo good! Thanks for the recipe. Stumbled on it on pinterest while looking to make something with ground beef. Is there any way I could get the nutritional info for this recipe?
Hi Dina! So glad you enjoyed it!!! I'm not really sure how to get the nutritional information for this. Maybe there is some sort of website or application that can be used?ReplyDelete
Ground Beef Stroganoff is indeed a comfort food for me as well. I'll take note of the recipe and will make this later. Thanks for sharing.
beef jerky australia
I used to serve this with some wine australia for dinner since my hubby loves this.ReplyDelete
This is delicious!!! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Made it tonight ,used some nice steak tips. THE BOOM ! Add a little crush pepper on top , gives a nice little kick to itReplyDelete
My bad,I ment the bomb!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed this one!! Thank you for taking the time to let me know! :)ReplyDelete
I made this last night for dinner....halfway through realizing I had no flour. So I just cooked in an extra 10 minutes and it was thick enough! = There were no leftovers! My daughter (who doesn't eat meat normally) ate a bowl of it, and my 6 year old asked if he could have it again tonight! Thank you for making happy tummies everywhere!ReplyDelete
I made this last week, everyone loved it! Thank you so much.ReplyDelete
This was delicious!! Easy, fast and soo good! Hubby loved it!!ReplyDelete
Made this on Thursday and it was so good! A fast meal for a weeknight.ReplyDelete
Made this last night and it was Delish !!!! Quick, easy and family loved it ;)ReplyDelete
I loved this dish! I made some crescent rolls to go with and Hubby and I finished everything off.. YUM!ReplyDelete
This recipe was so good! I felt bad when I made it because we had hamburger helper stroganoff sitting in the cupboard and now I feel even worse because I might never get around to making it after having this. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Made it. Ate it. Loved it.
I just made this, and even though I had to use chicken broth instead of beef, it turned out really yummy. I added a little parsley when I was sauteeing the onions and mushrooms, too.ReplyDelete
Believe it or not, I had never had beef stroganoff (I know!). Anxious to try it after reading this recipe, I made it and REALLY enjoyed it! I served it with a salad and french bread which was an awesome combination! I did use fat free sour cream and the (almost) fat free cream of mushroom and it turned out great! Thanks so much for broadening my horizons with this recipe! ;)ReplyDelete
Just had this for dinner and it was marvelous. I prefer it over traditional stroganoff because I don't enjoy the big chunks of meat, the ground beef is just perfect. Lots of flavor in this and it's going to be great reheated for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for two great recipes in one weekend, Brandie! The Southern Pecan Praline cake from yesterday is great reheated, as well. You cook the way I like to eat. :)ReplyDelete
I just made this tonight for dinner. I LOVE beef stroganoff but wanted a recipe that was more made from scratch. I just substituted organic cream of mushroom soup (i can't have MSG) and added some Worcestershire sauce at the end. My husband and I LOVED it!ReplyDelete
I'll be making this tonight! It's a go-to recipe! I might add in some of my Country Bob's Sauce!ReplyDelete
I got in touch with Back to the Roots thanks to your post! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I am 44 years old and I've been eating this for as long as I can remember. It's been a family favorite and a hit with my own children as well.ReplyDelete
I'm excited to make this for dinner tomorrow!! Thank you for sharing :)ReplyDelete
I didn't have the cream of mushroom soup and it turned out PERFECTLY! Thank you for sharing. I added a bit of horseradish and upped the sour cream. Returned to this for leftovers (I hate leftovers). Love your site!ReplyDelete
This is one of my favorite last minute go to meals, but we've always called it, " Poor Man's Stroganoff".ReplyDelete
So.....I didn't have all the ingredients for this, so I improvised! I used cream cheese in place of the sour cream and added a little heavy cream with chicken broth instead of beef (that's all I had at home). I left out the mushrooms but added about 1 Tablespoon of cooking sherry. It was yummy! Served it over mashed potatoes, and sent hubby to the store for egg noodles so I can serve it over those for tomorrow's lunch.ReplyDelete
I just made this tonight for dinner. It is amazing. I was not sure if I would like it or not,but I am trying new recipes out. My family loved it.ReplyDelete
Made this twice...love it with the ground beef. Instead of crumbling the ground beef, I made meatballs and added 2 teaspoons of brown gravy seasoning...Delicious!!ReplyDelete
Made this for dinner tonight, had the meat but wasn't sure what I was going to make. Found the recipe on Pinterest. I have made what I thought was the quick version before, meat, noodles, cream of mushroom soup and that's it. Don't think I will be making it "my way" anymore. This recipe only took a few more minutes (sauté onions and mushrooms) and was much more tasty. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Must I use sour cream?ReplyDelete
When I made it, I used 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt and 1/4 cup sour cream to cut down on the sour cream taste that my friend dislikes. We both think it turned out wonderfully.Delete
This was AMAZING. Used cream of mushroom soup with garlic. Yum, yum, yum.ReplyDelete
I made this tonight and it turned out very, very well -- my wife and I loved it. I was surprised how quick and simple it was, too!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Hmm, well for some reason it said posted anonymously. I'm not anonymous (hehe). Thanks again.Delete
Just made this recipe tonight for myself and a friend. My friend has NEVER liked beef stroganoff, but this recipe surprised them. They LOVED it! Thanks for sharing the recipe, it was really great!ReplyDelete
I have made this for over 30 years.... brown hamburger - onions etc. - add one can of mushroom soup and a can of beefy mushroom soup and a can of boiling water. Add 1 cup of sour cream - (all this is done in one skillet) add salt pepper. Once stirred - add 2T of kitchen bouquet (to darken the stroganoff) While browning hamburger and onions - cook dumpling style egg noodles. For something different you can add mexican corn to the mix!
I have made this many times over the years, and my recipe was very similar (I guess great minds really do think alike?!) I love it, and the more mushrooms, the better! No one else here, though, likes mushrooms, they say, so I chop them really finely and they never know they're eating them. Sometimes I use strips of beef, but this is usually one of my low-cost meals, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. This is a great quick and easy, low cost dinner. Thanks for making it more mainstream!ReplyDelete
I'm going to make this for my in-laws tonight!! Sounds delish! Maybe I'll make some biscuits to go with it!!!
Thanks for the idea!!
I made this meal today for my family. They love it. I will be making it again!!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you:) hubby and I enjoyed itReplyDelete
My mom's old Betty Crocker cookbook has a similar recipe. I add about 1/4 cup of sherry. Yummy!ReplyDelete
I am a lover of ground beef stroganoff . Researched several recipes and yours' was the most appealing. Directions were easy and simple to follow. Felt like I was cooking beside you. The end product was AMAZING!! Looking forward to viewing more of your recipes.ReplyDelete
My mom's stroganoff NEVER tasted like this! This was wonderful! Perfect as written, no changes necessary! Thank-you!
I got home late for dinner tonight && everyone had already eaten. We had some ground beef already defrosted && came upon this recipe on pintrest. It was quick, easy && I know my house will indulge in leftovers tomorrow! Absolutely delicious. (I too am not a mushroom fan so left those out but the cream of mushroom soup was perfect!)ReplyDelete
This is the 4th recipe I've made off your site and I have yet to be disappointed! Was very yummy! I added 1/8 tsp paprika and a sprinkle of parsley. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Love this recipe but surprised you do not add a small amount of Worchestershire sauce if you are calling it stroganoff. I've made this recipe as is but add 1 can of drained yellow wax beans and serve over mashed potatoes. No fancy name, just called it creamed hamburger.ReplyDelete
I grew up with this recipe. There was
10 people in our family and this was a good way to stretch a penny. Delicious! Thanks !
2nd recipe I have tried of yours. YUMMY! Added a little wine. Perfect!ReplyDelete
I made this tonight and it was great! I found you on PinterestReplyDelete
It is my home to recipe! All of the kids love it!ReplyDelete
Made this tonight and I must say it was really really goodReplyDelete

The 10 Most Absurdly Expensive Products on Amazon.com
Like most of you, I grew up in a place where every local used car dealer and mattress retailer was crazy. It was the only way to explain their insane prices! They each produced commercials bragging about their mental disorders, and I remember one pawn shop owner in my area who chainsawed furniture in half who probably wasn't lying. These commercials taught us many things, and all of them were this: If you want to be successful in sales, you need to stop paying attention to the warnings on modeling glue. This may explain why so many sellers on Amazon.com are legitimate, unmedicated lunatics.
Unless you think a sane salesperson kept track of this for 20 years in the hopes of a penny.
And what maniac lets the Bloodsport soundtrack go for less than four figures!?
I scoured Amazon.com and collected 10 of the most luxuriously and insanely overpriced items from their sprawling, madman-populated database. Rich people, drop another panda heart into your helicopter's dog kennel and let's get ready to shop! Poor people, this seems like a good time to warn you that I'm in a helicopter, hunting you.
#10. Samsung TV Motorized Wall Mount (Used)
Imagine the elegance of a television mount that moves your TV for you. It's the final step in telling your body from the neck down that you're done with it. How much would you pay for that? Three trillion dollars? Two trillion dollars? Try one trillion dollars. That's less than the cost of 14 million surrogate pregnancies and a sacrificial dais!
That may seem like a lot of money, but look at what you get: a free 7-foot HDMI cable. And can you really put a price on owning the only robot arm not designed for masturbating humans?
The Smarter, More Affordable Choice: Fat Boys 3 x 3 on VHS
I know what you're thinking about this wall mount, trillionaires. "I don't want to configure another goddamn device with my universal remote. My television chamber's trap door already opens every time I switch to Spanish audio. Hold on, that's just a trapped landscaper screaming for help. Excuse me for a moment. Cadbury, ring the Rancor bell!"
A more sensible entertainment option might be this VHS collection of three H E A V Y videos by those W I D E A N G L E rappers, the Fat Boys. It's only $2,536.81, although there is a $3,034.73 version available if you want a second copy. The tape unfortunately does not include liner notes, but if you fill the box with yogurt and squeeze it in your armpit, it will recite the lyrics for you.
#9. World of Warcraft Complete Gift Set
At first you might think that a video game with 14 days of free play is worth more than $15,492.78. You're wrong. It's actually worth far, far less. This is about $300 worth of toys with a $15,100 personal shopper fee for putting them all in the same box. It does come with a World of Warcraft hat, which will help explain to people why you disappeared for several months and returned as a manatee.
Actually, $15,492.78 isn't too overpriced. Because let's be honest -- if you love Warcraft enough to wear a Warcraft hat, the closest thing you have to a second hobby is beard fungus critic, and that's not a big economic drain.
The Smarter, More Affordable Choice: The 2006-2011 World Outlook for Saline Breast Implants (Digital PDF)
If you're looking for vaguely depressing computer entertainment, this PDF file about international saline breast implants is less than $800. It won't be quite as fun as cultivating body fat from inside Azeroth, but both are a great way to learn about some pretty strangely shaped breasts.
#8. Mini Drainable Ileostomy Pouch (Box of 10)
If you have a surgical opening leaking fecal waste out of your body, you're not really in the mood to haggle over the price of a diaper bag. That being said, if you quoted me a price of $45,021 for a box of 10, I'd ask you how much for just a mop.
Note the strangely written product description. The seller says, "Peace of mind knowing that the pouch is discreet and is made of t". Made of what, you greedy lunatic!? Made of ... oh. I get what happened here. You know, if you wore those ileostomy pouches instead of upselling them on the Internet, you might not have died on a keyboard crapping out of a second asshole, asshole.
The Smarter, More Affordable Choice: The Autopsy, Chapter One: Unraveling Life's Mysteries (VHS)
Now that we know where to find a corpse, it's time to brush up on our autopsy skills. I found this 30-minute VHS tape of one for right under $100,000. That seems expensive, but if you have a pile of dead bodies who died from swallowing money, this video practically pays for itself.
#7. Chair Fitness Volume #1 (VHS)
Imagine if someone offered to show you how to wiggle around in a chair for only $50 a minute. Stop dreaming! It's here!
The Smarter, More Affordable Choice: Revo 4-Wheel Scooter (Color Blue)
If you don't mind spending 1,000 times more, you can laugh at fitness from your $991,599 motorized scooter. That price doesn't include an oil slick feature, but if you're sitting in one of these, you're already secreting enough canola oil to thwart pursuers.
At this price, why not buy 24 and race them?
#6. ANSR Sole Replacement Polishing Plates (3 Pack)
The ANSR Sole Callus Remover is a $120 device that sands chunks of your feet off. It's also shaped exactly like a massager for women who want to accidentally buff away their vagina one sleepy night. You might be wondering, "Surprise vaginoplasties and centaur-smooth feet for only $120? What's the catch?"
Here's the catch: The replacement pads are $5.3 trillion each. Which is why, right now, American spies are installing ill-fitting high heels into the closets of high-ranking Chinese officials. If we can give their leaders bunions, a few foot-polishing-plate sales could eliminate our national debt completely. You're welcome, America. Again.
The Smarter, More Affordable Choice: 11 Inch Purple Birthday All-Around Printed Balloons
For $49,999.90, a fraction of the cost of foot-polishing pads, you can distract your friends from your horrible feet with birthday balloons! Let's look at some of the product features:
1: 100 per package
That's only $499.99 per balloon! If you can't afford that, maybe celebrating isn't the right activity for you.
2: Qualatex Birthday Balloons
I'm not sure what this is, but it sounds like something a professional partier would choose.
3: Helium Quality Balloons
I don't need to tell you the meaning of that because there isn't one.
4: Qualatex - The Choice of Professionals
I knew it!
5: Uninflated.
They come uninflated? Uninflated!? For $49,999.90, I want these delivered by wind currents and a terrified man clinging to a cluster of balloons. I want them delivered on the body of Kourtney Kardashian, who will cry while she pops each one. This is the worst $50,000 I've spent since I bought half a VHS tape about autopsies.

Obama Push to Hit Syria Takes Detour
Senate Delays Vote as Russia Seizes on Kerry's Offhand Suggestion That Assad Give Up Chemical Weapons
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama's campaign for an attack on Syria took an unexpected turn as his administration inadvertently gave the Assad regime a potential way out that spawned second thoughts on Capitol Hill and enthusiasm among international opponents of a military strike.
After Secretary of State John Kerry suggested in off-the-cuff comments that President Bashar al-Assad could avert an attack by promptly handing his chemical weapons to the international community, Russia declared its support and quickly got Damascus on board.
The shift, which Mr. Obama called "a potentially positive development," paused a Senate debate and complicated the president's pitch to a reluctant country. He began to lay out his case to Americans in TV interviews on Monday, in advance of a prime-time address to the nation on Tuesday.
Mr. Obama faces a public increasingly unconvinced of the need for U.S. military action, with 58% of Americans saying Congress should turn down his request for approval to launch an attack, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll that suggests support for military action is slipping.
The Russian proposal threatened to further erode support for military action, and many lawmakers seized on it to avoid or delay a vote that even in the Democratic-controlled Senate was appearing in doubt, a trend likely detected by White House officials.
However, administration officials and many lawmakers also expressed skepticism about the offer, citing the record of Mr. Assad and his ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during the 2½-year civil war.
"If it's legitimate, it's definitely something we should explore. But I wouldn't hold my breath," said Rep. Eliot Engel (D., N.Y.), who supports Mr. Obama's call for a Syria strike. "Can you believe anything Putin or Assad said?"
White House officials were cool at first to the Russian offer, saying they would give it a "hard look" but suggesting it could be a delaying tactic on behalf of Russia's allies in the Assad regime.
"We don't want this to be another stalling tactic by the Russians, and the Syrians through the Russians," said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf.
However, the proposal quickly elevated hopes for an exit on Capitol Hill, where Senate leaders put off plans for a vote on Wednesday that was to start the debate, a delay in large part to allow time to size up the significance of the Russian diplomatic initiative.
"It's a good step forward," said Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) who opposed military strikes. "If [the Russians] are willing to help, it is the solution to a lot of our problems. Engaging with Russia is the very heart of diplomacy."
The idea also gained notice from the United Nations, where Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, an opponent of military intervention, offered U.N. oversight of a weapons handover, to France and the U.K., whose leaders—supporters of a strike—encouraged Syrian compliance while warning that Mr. Assad now had a way to forestall a strike.
Administration officials said the offer wouldn't derail administration plans to seek congressional authorization to bomb Syria in response to what the U.S. said was a regime chemical attack on Aug. 21.
And both Mr. Obama and top administration officials expressed skepticism that either Russia or Syria could be counted on to follow through on the offer. "Assad has repeatedly lied about his use of chemical weapons and the fact that he has them," said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf.

- Hillary Clinton: `Strong Response' Needed on Syria
But in a battery of evening television interviews, Mr. Obama said he would quickly and thoroughly investigate the idea.
"My intention throughout this process has been to ensure that the blatant use of chemical weapons that we saw doesn't happen again," Mr. Obama said on PBS. "If in fact there's a way to accomplish that diplomatically, that is overwhelmingly my preference."
He added he had instructed Mr. Kerry to speak with the Russians "and run this to ground."
"And if we can exhaust these diplomatic efforts and come up with a formula that gives the international community a verifiable, enforceable mechanism to deal with these chemical weapons in Syria, then I'm all for it," he said.
At the same time, Mr. Obama said he would need to see specifics of the plan. He added that the potential for a settlement wouldn't have emerged "if there were not a credible military threat" being posed by the U.S.
The idea emerged from what the State Department said wasn't a formal proposal by Mr. Kerry, but a "rhetorical and hypothetical" comment.
Mr. Kerry, asked in a London news conference whether there was anything Mr. Assad could do to stop U.S. strikes, said: "Sure, he could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week…without delay and allow the full and total accounting for that, but he isn't about to do it and it can't be done, obviously."
The development came as an unexpected turn of events on the eve of Mr. Obama's planned nationwide address on the Syrian crisis, as support for Mr. Obama's position on Syria was slipping in Congress.
More senators stepped out in opposition to the military force resolution on Monday, including Sen. Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.), a centrist Republican who is facing a primary challenge from the right in his 2014 re-election bid.
Mr. Obama also was losing some members of his own party. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D., N.D.) said she couldn't support the current resolution because "it calls for military action in Syria without carefully looking at diplomatic or alternative solutions."
Most senators remained undecided, and the White House deployed top administration officials, including the president and vice president, to personally sway lawmakers in dinners, meetings, phone calls and briefings.
On Monday the White House also enlisted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in its effort. Mrs. Clinton, after meeting with Mr. Obama, expressed support for U.S. military action. "If the regime immediately surrendered its stockpiles to international control, as was suggested by Secretary Kerry and the Russians, that would be an important step, but this cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction," Mrs. Clinton said.
Even though unintended, the initiative was welcomed on Capitol Hill, where it seemed to dramatically impact the debate.
Rep. Jim Moran (D., Va.), an administration ally, said the Russian move "could be a game changer."
"It's a shift in the right direction," he said. "It could be a way out of this…We should consider it a serious offer."
Other lawmakers who support the use of force were more skeptical. Senate Appropriations Chairman Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), who had been skeptical of authorizing force, expressed concern that the Russian move was a "tactic for delay," as she announced she would vote for the resolution over the opposition of constituents.
The Assad regime is believed to have vast stockpiles of mustard gas and the nerve agents sarin and VX stored in at least a half-dozen sites, according to U.S. officials.
Damascus never acknowledged maintaining such an arsenal before it allegedly began to use sarin on Syria's opposition last year. Mr. Assad's government also had a secret nuclear weapons program that Israel's air force destroyed in 2007.
