DC41 has twice the suction power of any other vacuum. But Dyson engineers didn't stop there. The whole machine has been designed for outstanding cleaning performance and ease of use – from the wand to the cleaner head.
* Suction tested against upright market to ASTM F558 at cleaner head, dust-loaded as per IEC 60312-1. **Suction tested against upright market to ASTM F558 at cleaner head, dust-loaded as per IEC 60312-1.

Dyson vacuums are made from materials that are used in crash helmets and riot shields. So we put them to the test – 164 individual stress tests, to be precise. And we're only content once a machine has passed each one – it's the only way we know it's built and tested to survive ten years' use.

DC41's cleaner head automatically adjusts to different floor types, sealing in suction. You don't have to bend down to fiddle with dials.
No more awkward moves – DC41 can be steered with a turn of the wrist. And it's streamlined for cleaning in difficult places.
Just push the button to release the dirt. The lid and release button are positioned at opposite ends of the bin, so you don't have to touch the contents.
With a wand and hose that release in one smooth action, DC41 is easy to use for cleaning high places and awkward gaps.

By Jaclyn Shambaugh Staff writer
Brian Rimpf said he knew before Friday's opening-round playoff game that Lumberton wouldn't be an easy opponent, despite the fact that the Buccaneers had shut out the Pirates in the second week of the season.
To the coach's relief, his players knew it, too.
The second-seeded Bucs rode out a first-quarter surge by the No. 7 Pirates to win 28-14 in the first round of the NCHSAA 4-AA playoffs, advancing in the Mideast pod to the second round. Britt will host No. 3 Hoke County (10-2) next week.
Rimpf said his players didn't want to look past the Pirates even after a decisive 27-0 win near the start of the season.
"One of the seniors texted me this weekend to find out who we were playing," Rimpf said. "When I told him Lumberton, he said, 'Well, we can't take them lightly. They're not the same team we faced earlier in the season.' "
The Pirates looked nothing like the sluggish team the Bucs shut out. Instead, Lumberton jumped out of the gate Friday, scoring just over a minute into the opening quarter on a 1-yard run by Daniel Robinson.
The senior back rushed for a game-high 152 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, generating the bulk of the offense for the Pirates (5-6).
The Bucs answered on the ensuing possession with a two-play, 53-yard drive capped by a 17-yard run by Eric Carter.
The senior said Lumberton's pass defense opened up areas in the line for him to get through.
"They showed us a Cover 2, Cover 4 look, and when you have that there's always holes," Carter said.
Carter led Britt with 134 yards on 16 carries, drawing the attention of the Pirate defense and setting up plenty of passing opportunities for quarterback Mark McRae.
The senior completed 12 of 20 attempts for 218 yards and two touchdowns.
The Pirates managed a second score in the first quarter on a 21-yard breakthrough by Robinson before the offense stalled, leaving Britt to score 21 unanswered points.
The Bucs missed out on a red-zone chance early in the second quarter, halting at the Lumberton 3-yard line when a personal foul penalty pushed Britt back and eventually forced a turnover on downs.
The Pirates' series resulted in a punt, and the Bucs made good on their next drive, tying the game at 14-14 on a McRae pass to Jalen McDaniel for 42 yards.
McRae threw a second touchdown pass - this one to Chris Jenkins - with 14 seconds left in the half to give the Bucs a 21-14 lead at halftime.
The Bucs will face a less familiar foe in the second round when Hoke County arrives. The two teams haven't met since 2010. But the setting will remain the same for the Bucs, who will host Hoke at The Boneyard.
"That's important," McRae said. "Because we've never lost a playoff game at home."

The latest news on campaign finance
But you can get money out of campaigns.
Here's a radical idea for campaign finance reform.
Direct contributions to candidates yield more bang for the buck.
Striking down contribution limits is akin to creating a right to bribery.
The justification for aggregate limits makes no sense.
The Founders would approve of limits on campaign donations.
Removing aggregate limits will only increase Congress' dependence on the rich.
Campaign contributions are vital to our democracy.
Contribution limits are already too high.
Aggregate limits stifle legitimate political speech.

Princess Masako Owada joined the royal family when she married the Crown Prince Narhuito after a long courtship and numerous marriage proposals. It is speculated that she resisted marriage because of the constraints she knew it would put on her independent nature. Indeed, Masako has led a largely quiet royal life and there are rumors of her depression due to the intense pressure to bear a son.
Early Life
Princess Masako Owada of Japan was born Masako Owada on December 9, 1963, in Tokyo, Japan, to Ambassador Hisashi Owada and Yumiko Owada. She has twin younger sisters, Reiko and Setsuko. Her father is a career diplomat who served as administrative vice minister of foreign affairs and Japan's representative to the United Nations. As a child, Masako is remembered by her friends as a quiet, though strong-willed, leader who stood up to her teachers when she felt there was an injustice. She loved animals and sports, and once thought about becoming a veterinarian. Princess Masako was a star athlete, instrumental in organizing her high school's girls softball team.
When her father accepted a teaching position at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the family moved to nearby Belmont. After the position ended, Masako stayed on to attend Harvard. She graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Economics. In 1986 she attended the University of Tokyo's law department to study for the Diplomatic Service Examination. Princess Masako passed the notoriously difficult Foreign Ministry entrance exam after only one year of study (most people need at least two years, and even then only a small percentage pass), and joined the Foreign Ministry in 1987.
Meeting the Crown Prince
At a reception for Spain's Princess Elena in Tokyo in 1986, Masako was introduced to the Crown Prince Naruhito. He became immediately enamored and began courting her. Masako, however, was not particularly interested in the prospect of a royal life, which she no doubt suspected would severely restrict her independent nature, and the promising career she had worked hard for. Instead of immediately accepting the prince's proposal, she began a two-year study at Oxford as part of an assignment from the Foreign Ministry.
Marriage and Subsequent Speculation
After the third time the proposal was extended, Masako at last relented, and married the Crown Prince in 1993 in a traditional ceremony. Many Japanese women who had followed the long courtship were surprised and even disappointed. They had admired her independence and the promise she represented to change the traditional status of women in Japanese society. They still believed that her presence in the royal family would be an opportunity for more progressive changes within the rigid Imperial Palace.
However, these hopes seem to have met with few encouraging signs from the Crown Princess. Seldom in the public eye outside of official engagements, Masako has led a largely quiet royal life, wearing the traditional clothes of her position, walking behind her husband, and addressing him in public as His Imperial Highness. The once ambitious Masako has been so seemingly stifled that tabloids began speculating that the princess was suffering from depression, stemming from her restricted lifestyle and the intense pressure to bear a son who would be heir to the throne. Friends of the princess and official statements from the Imperial Household dispute the rumors of her unhappiness and report that Masako leads a happy life with Naruhito, who shares her passion for literature, classical music and sports.

The Village Pub
Online Reservations
We arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and were seated right away in a side booth, which we liked because it was a little quieter. The only food I didn't care for was the lobster-corn bisque. (Either it was too fishy or maybe I'm more of a chowder gal.) Our very accommodating server could see I was disappointed and immediately offered me a small version of the fabulous heirloom tomato appetizer that my husband was already enjoying. That was terrific of her! Our main dishes, scallops and NY steak with the best-ever swiss chard, were wonderful, as was the chocolate soufflé dessert. They even added some complimentary tidbits and touches to our dinner since we were celebrating our anniversary. It was a wonderful dinner out!
The food was excellent. Would recommend the abalone appetizer which was tender and well paired with the white asparagus. Also the special burrata capresse with heirloom tomatoes. For the main course, we had the Muscovy duck for 2, Scallops and a special Lamb roulade, all which were delicious! We were disappointed with dessert after such a wonderful meal. We ordered the chocolate soufflé and strawberry rhubarb crisp. The soufflé was light but lacked the rich chocolate flavor. Had the flavor of a weak chocolate milk and the crisp was nothing special.
Thank you for such a wonderful evening of fine dining ...all 7 of us had great experience. I hope to return soon!
"The Pub" was always an area favorite where one was sure of perfect service, excellent bar, and comfortable seating. The food was lovingly prepared, sort of classical "continental", with a number of expertly prepared flaming dishes. But this new Village Pub offers hyper- locally sourced ingredients, less fussily but just as lovingly prepared. The staff works just as hard to cosset the guests. When asked if it were possible to make a substitution, the reply was, "The kitchen is yours". The wine list was extensive with plenty of wines in our price range, and the sommelier offered excellent, understated advice. This is a good place for hipsters to learn what the term "excellent" really means when speaking of a restaurant.
-Food is spectacular and wine list is mouth watering, the staff are supper friendly and helpful. It's going to be my regular when I'm in bay area.
You can always count on having a great experience at Village Pub. I went the adventurous route and had abalone for an appetizer and sweetbreads and grilled octupus for my main. It wasn't the most amazing food I have ever had, but that is probably because I just didn't like those two things and didn't know. I don't regret my order because I wanted to try something new and I know they have delicious food because I have been there before. My fiancés meal (corn agnolotti and steak) was delicious. The only drawback is that their impressive wine list is outrageously expensive (living in this region it is definitely possible to get less expensive wine that is still very good).
I went here for my wires birthday. Food was very good and they had an outstanding wine list. Service was quite well as well. Highlight of the night was wine recommendation by their Sommelier Hadley Kemp. Thanks again for such a wonderful experience.
I don't think I have ever enjoyed such empathetic service from a wait staff. She anticipated our every need, and welcomed us in a way that is different from most American restaurants. Of course the food was excellent too! Great destination for a special meal.
Food was outstanding! Treated my husband to romantic dinner and we will absolutely be back.
I always love The Pub. The food, service and atmosphere are always outstanding. It is my go to restaurant. Fabulous!!
I made reservations at Woodside Village Pub - we had been there a couple of times before-for our anniversary on Open Table. I mentioned it was our anniversary and we would like a nice table. U think we got the best table in the house. The service was amazing and the food great. We didn't feel rushed-at all. Looking forward to returning with friends.
This classy hidden gem is a nice treat for special meals. They have the largest wine selection I've ever seen and lots of truffles! My son (15 months) normally fusses at outings, but enjoyed the meal so much he was drumming on the table by the end. Can't wait to go back!
Had not been here in awhile and the restaurant and service exceeded expectations and my guests in town. From the cocktails through all the courses (including the orange and white chocolate macaroons), we were delighted. We ate out all weekend long and my guests said this was their favorite meal and dining experience.
We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary here, with our children. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a HUGE wine list, so any diner should be able to find the right bottle, and the sommelier is more than happy to discuss options and provide advice. The food was beautifully prepared and presented , and service was well choreographed. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was when the dessert course arrived, and the chef had written Happy 22nd Anniversary in chocolate on the plate rim - a comment in passing to the Maitre D as we took our seats transformed into a wonderful surprise. The quality of the food and service are among the best I've experienced and I highly recommend it.
We love Village Pub. We've been several times and have never had a bad experience. The food is superb, the cocktails are spot on and the service is impeccable. Enough said.
TVP continues to hit the marks again and again. Brunch is a fabulous combination of sweet and savory with a rich variety of favors to sate any appetite. The homemade bread basket has a perfect sampling of carb goodies, and the return of a schnitzel (pork this time) is a welcome old friend for brunch. The Halibut cake still impresses and is a perfect split course before diving into the main. Bravo, TVP, bravo.
As always, the "Village Pub" is a dining gem. Sophisticated and well appointed dining room...............outstanding service and menu. Still in the top 5 of all restaurants on the Peninsula..
Every course is an innovative experience full of unusual flavor treats. This a wonderful place to celebrate a special day or when you need a special treat. The kitchen uses only the freshest staples and the hard to find ingredients. It is no surprise that Michelin agrees.
We have been there multiple times and are always very satisfied. Difficult to get a week end reservation.
the service was spot on...impressive wine list...my kind of place
Fantastic ambiance, each morsol to savor, aestheticaly pleasing food as well as perfectly prepared. The pub has always been a favorite, and I wish I had lots more time to relax and enjoy each aspect of it Because, the kindness and care of the staff make sure that our visit is perfect.
The Village Pub may sound like a local watering hole, but this restaurant exudes fine dining. From the moment we arrived, we were pampered. The staff was excellent; our water glasses were always full, napkins never unfolded (when away), bread plates never empty. They were knowledgeable, very friendly & helpful in ordering, and had great suggestions on special orders to fit our tastes. The food was amazing. The heirloom tomatoes with Burrata cheese was heavenly. I wanted more! The steak was tender (even ordered med well) and the fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. I had the scallops and the plating presentation was spectacular. I'd definitely go back, and already made lunch plans to try the burrata fondue!
Fish was great! Loved the Heirloom tomato burrata.
The normally wonderful Village Pub let us down a bit the last time we visited. Both my boyfriend and I love duck breast and were ecstatic to see it on the menu. However, it was not tender at all, with a lot of gristle in it and we required a steak knife to cut through it. We still persevered though, because the flavor was still very good. At the end of the meal, we mentioned how tough the meat had been to the waiter, and he mentioned that another customer had commented likewise recently. A few minutes later, he returned and said the chef had removed the charge from our bill. So the food let us down, but the humility of the chef and the service were excellent. Just don't order the duck until they improve on it.
We came here to celebrate our son 16th B-day. We want a nice ambiance with fine food......have tried and thought about Kokkari, Evvia , Dio Deka, Nicks, and even Scent Sovi but we decided to try out this place since the yelp reviews were very impressive plus our friend recommended. Food was fantastic !!! First time dining in the restaurant that from appetizer, salad , soup to main entree were not salty. Taste of each entree were very delicate and light that you can actually differentiate the herbs and enjoy the flavors that enhance the roasted chicken, duck and the squash lobster pasta . Everything else was also perfect. Love the in- house pate, sorbet and the great service. Would definitely come back for more.....
Food was very expensive. I've had better at other locations with a more reasonable price. Wine list - OUTSTANDING. Server what awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly what one would expect from a Michelin Star Restaurant!
Consistent with the popular reviews: A place for special occasions; Outstanding wine cellar; Perfectly prepared meats; Unsurpassed service. My kids *love* the food even though it seems like they are the only kids in this village (restaurant).
This is a great restaurant...tucked away in the woods (Woodside to be exact) ...just minutes from Downtown Palo Alto. Delicious food, service was fantastic too. Next time will try to get booth or seating by window. Regulars & Locals flock here... The name of the restaurant is deceiving...this is a very nice restaurant and many people were dressed well!. Great energy and we will definitely go back when in the area!
VP NEVER disappoints. I only gave the food 4 starts, ONLY because the vegetarian selections are limited even after adding reservation note AND calling ahead hoping for a special menu or at least more options. The service is impeccable. I thought the sommelier stopped by too promptly and too many times while we were deciding, yet once we decided, she was not in sight. They didn't have the 1st choice bottle available and our 2nd choice was only available by the glass but we were offered the option to purchase the bottle. The server was marvelous, he showed up at just the right times, smiled, served with great timing. I appreciated that the person pouring our water noticed we wanted to order a souffle and offered to notify the server.
The occasion was to celebrate my friend's birthday (as we did last year), and the dining experience was perfect. I ordered the Harvest Salad to start and, although the flavors were subtle, it was very satisfying. My friend loved her Caesar Salad. We pronounced the three types of bread divine. We ordered the steak and the pork chop entrees, and told the waiter we were going to share both. He offered to split them so we could do so, and the presentation was wonderful as well as delectable. We also ordered two desserts and shared them as well. The food, the ambience, and THE SERVICE were outstanding. We are making this restaurant a traditional place to get-together to celebrate special occasions and holidays. Well, done, TVP!
My kids request VP pretty regularly. The VP is very accomodating and the food is exceptional. We asked for chicken tenders, but they didn't have any boneless chicken, so the chef deboned the chicken and made a delicious, yet simple chicken dish for my 4 yo. No misses again this time! Our friends were impressed as well.
We have been to the Village Pub many times for dinner, but this was the first time for Brunch. We brought our 2 children, and as much as it was quiet and sophisticated, kids are quite welcome. It was a lovely meal, everything delicious. My only comment for the restaurant is to expand the menu just a bit. Having sausage and bacon on the permanent menu would be nice, as well as basic pancakes.
We sat outside facing the parking lot for brunch. There are a few plants blocking the view of asphalt, and the sun streams in which all makes for an enjoyable setting. The service was not great...it took a long time for waitperson to show up to the table, and when they did, there was no apology. Then at the end of the meal, they took my coffee cup away with coffee still in it, and I was not finished! I had the truffled egg French omelette which was out of this world delicious. The only complaint was that it was not filling, and there was nothing else on the plate to eat OR to look at, not even a garnish. I unfortunately went away hungry.
The food was fantastic and of high quality. The service was excellent. We girls enjoyed very much as we shared four main courses for lunch. Love the place and will come back soon. It was that good.
Wonderful food as usual, but service was not up to past levels; very slow delivery of menus, wine and no checks on meal quality.
Tuesday evening was another fine dining experience that we have become accustomed to at the Village Pub. It has never disappointed. The service was professional, yet relaxed, and the food and drink superlative. Chris Cuneo the manager went out of his way to assure us a great experience.
Again, the Village Pub has proven why it's the go to spot for lunch or dinner. The food was amazing, both my guest and I decided we have to come back once a week just to have the tuna! Our waitress gave recommendations and they were out of this world. She was courteous and friendly but did not intrude on our conversation. Since it was lunch she knew we only had a limited amount of time to dine and talk and she gave us our space while still being attentive and very pleasant. We can't wait to go back. Thank you Village Pub for being an amazing gem for all of these years!
Menu was delicious, unique and service was great. Only disappointment was the salad which was very plain and not worth it...but the soup and our entrees were delicious. We brought our own favorite wine, but the selection was wonderful and worth getting it there as they charge a $30 corkage fee!
I have never been disappointed while having lunch at The Pub. Great food, friendly staff.
My dining companion and I both had the tagliatelle made from (in part) cocoa nibs accompanied by baby Brussels sprouts and cubed meat from braised short ribs all lightly doused in a mild savory sauce. Great tasting, a bit novel, perfect quantity and lots of fun. Enjoy!
We had a birthday lunch there recently. The food was excellent---the fish was very fresh and tasty. The flour less chocolate cake was the best I had. We talked about going there again real soon.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here, and it was one of the best picks we've made in a while. The service is excellent, and the kitchen brought us an extra tasting during our meal, which was a nice surprise. We will definitely add the pub to our frequented list of places we go for dinner.
We had a great dinner and looking forward to coming back again soon.
Outstanding sommelier, excellent food and service, right sized portions, not overpriced, just a bit loud and tables too close to one another for an intimate dining experience. Very responsive and friendly staff. Not pretentious.
Despite the name of this restaurant, it is far from your average "pub." The menu changes often and the quality of the food is exceptional. The lighting in the dining room in the evenings is perfect and the fireplace in the bar is warm and cozy. Service has always been impeccable, and I was pleased to see that hasn't changed.
From the cocktails (shaken and poured at the table,) to the abalone appetizer, (tender, fresh and just the right size,) to the salmon special (fresh caught and cooked crisp on the outside and moist and tender inside with a beurre blanc sauce and lobster on the side) to coffee and dessert, the dinner was perfection. Our server was knowledgeable and very helpful. I can't wait until we dine there again.
Favorite restaurant in the Peninsula / Woodside. Ir is worth the trip to dine here. Very accommodating. Great food - there are no misses.
Like Michelin Guide highlights in off-beat regions of France, this tuck away restaurant accessible only through a parking lot is a gem that delivers year after year with outstanding food and wonderful service. Love the place! Earl Singer
Tagliatelle with short ribs was among the best dishes I've ever had in my life. Everything was amazing, from the food to the service.

An intubation in an emergency it can easily lead to an incorrect position of the tube. Also, the tube can move unnoticed during transport of the patient, which can also lead to inefficient ventilation. These malpositions represent a life-threatening complication and can be generally determined only with great effort. A method for verification of the correct position of a tube is especially during emergencies and transport virtually not available. TuSaLoc provides a simple method by which the position of a tube can be checked. Through analysis of the impedance measurements over a plurality of electrodes, at the same time allowing the discharge of ECG signals, the location of the tube can be uniquely determined. During transport, a continuous location monitoring is possible, since a large amount of equipment is not needed.

The University of Newcastle has received a record $14 million from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
Funding for 18 research projects, totalling $12.6 million, is an increase of $3.5 million on project funding last year. In addition, the University has received funds for equipment and Research Fellowships.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Barney Glover, said the funding was an outstanding result for the University.
"The funding amount is an increase of more than 50 per cent on 2006 and recognises the University as a world leader in health and medical research."
Researchers from five of the University's Priority Research Centres (PRCs) are among the successful recipients.
Professor John Forbes - a world leader in breast cancer research - has received $4.7 million to continue his work. A Professor of Surgical Oncology at the University and Calvary Mater Newcastle, he coordinates the Australian New Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group and works in collaboration with the Hunter Medical Research Institute's (HMRI) Cancer Research Program.
Professor Paul Foster is Co-Director of the PRC for Asthma and Respiratory Diseases, in collaboration with HMRI's Viruses, Infections/Immunity, Vaccines and Asthma (VIVA) Program. He has received three major grants totalling more than $1.7 million.
There is also funding for research into depression, stroke, reproduction and pregnancy, and drug regulation.
Professor Glover said the funding confirmed the University of Newcastle's standing among the top 10 universities in Australia for research.
"Our research program is aimed at delivering real results which have impact locally, nationally and internationally.
"Our researchers rank among the world's best and these grants will extend the vitally important work they are doing in health and medical research."
The University's Priority Research Centres bring together researchers across health, energy and the environment, and science and engineering. The health-related PRCs work in collaboration with HMRI.

Cory Gardner Latest News
Thank You
Now that the last ballots have been counted, I wanted to thank each and every one of you for the significant contributions you have made to my campaign.
This victory is shared by all of the volunteers and countless supporters. Thank you for your many hours of hard work, phone calls, financial support and well wishes.
It is hard to believe that over a year ago I made the decision to get in this race. Since then, I have traveled all across the district and met so many remarkable people. Regardless of party affiliation, it quickly became apparent that we all want the same thing: a better, stronger America.
This office is an enormous responsibility and one that will never be taken lightly. It is the responsibility to deliver a nation to generations yet to be born, and it is our obligation to ensure these future Americans are blessed with even more opportunity than those we have been blessed with.
In order to accomplish that, I believe we must cut spending, put an end to the wasteful disregard of the taxpayers' dollar, get government out of the way and let America work.
Although the campaign has ended, our work is just beginning. Republicans are not going to compromise with our principles this time around. We will not increase taxes or go down the path of earmarks that have symbolized everything that is wrong with Washington D.C.
But it is time for Republicans and Democrats to work together to balance the budget and cut spending.
I look forward to working with you in the future as well to restore our nation's greatness. Please know that my door will always be open, and I will never forget my roots.
Thank you and God bless,

Gardner Owns 4th CD Debate
Challenger Cory Gardner hammered Democrat Rep. Betsy Markey for her record of deficit spending and growing government in the first debate in the race for the 4th Congressional District.
Audible hissing and booing could be heard when Markey tried to defend her record on healthcare. The audience also cheered loudly when Gardner repeatedly told Markey she needed to "read the bill" that is the centerpiece of her latest misleading attack ad.
"This debate presented a clear choice: do the people of the 4th CD want a candidate who favors deficit spending and more government intrusion in our lives, or do they want a candidate who will cut taxes and cut government and get the economy back on track," said Rachel Boxer, spokeswoman for the Gardner campaign.

Greeley Tribune, Longmont Times-Call and Loveland Reporter-Herald all endorse Gardner for 4th CD race
The Tribune endorsement notes that Gardner's strong agriculture roots make him the most suited to represent the political views of farmers and ranchers. They also lauded him for taking a strong position for the Northern Integrated Supply Project, a water storage project supported by most agriculture groups in Northern Colorado.
Democrat Congresswoman Betsy Markey has failed for three years to even take a position on NISP.
The Times-Call and Reporter-Herald wrote about the dynamics of the 4th CD, saying that the people traditionally have an independent to conservative approach to national issues. "This would tend to support the candidacy of Gardner, who is more likely to resist vast federal spending that Markey has been involved in…." the papers wrote in the endorsement. "This is a region where people still believe that hard work, determination and ingenuity will pay dividends for themselves and their communities in the future."

I baked for six hours on Saturday.
Gingerbread. Sugar cookies. Chocolate chip. Seven-layer bars. Brownies.
I'd like to say I did it because I'm a slave to the Christmas baking tradition, but that's not exactly true. The holiday season is just a happy excuse to plug in the Kitchen Aid mixer, switch on some music, and bake for a long and lovely while. It's relaxing. It's cheerful. It makes the house smell heavy with butter and flour, rather than the perpetual aroma of morning pancakes.
Plus, in spurts, I had company. H decorated a "Ginger Daddy."
…and O iced a "Ginger O, and a Ginger Mama." According to O, the Ginger Mama was white because "she put on too much lotion."
Dairy/Egg-free Sugar Cookies
I can't even begin to tell you how delicious (and easy) these are, courtesy of The Gluttonous Vegan.
You'll need:
2 cups all purpose flour
a pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup vegan margarine
3/4 cup icing/confectioners sugar
1/4 cup canola/sunflower oil
1 tsp almond extract (optional)
PREHEAT your oven to 325 degrees.
CREAM together the margarine, sugar, oil and almond extract until smooth. Add the flour and salt and mix again until it's a squishy dough.
COVER a baking tray in some grease-proof paper.
PULL OFF small lumps and shape into balls. Place each ball on the tray and flatten into thin discs.
BAKE for 10-14 minutes. You'll know they're finished when the edges are just slightly golden.
ICE and DECORATE at will.
Dairy/Egg-free Brownies
It hurts my heart to say this, since I prefer to bake from scratch, but check out Cherrybrook Kitchen's allergen-free brownie mix. These brownies are better than any non-mix allergen-free brownie recipe I've tried.
Dairy/Egg-free Gingerbread
See Monday's post.
GB's Most Excellent Chocolate Chip Cookies*
You'll need:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks of butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) of semi-sweet chocolate chips
*I'm leaving out the secret ingredient.
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto an ungreased baking sheets.
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
7-layer Bars
You'll need:
1 stick of butter, melted
1 sleeve of graham crackers, ground
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 12-oz. pkg. of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 12-oz. pkg. of butterscotch chips
½ cup coconut flakes
½ cup chopped pecans
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.
POUR melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
GRIND the graham crackers in a food processor, then pour evenly over the butter, pushing down to make a crust.
POUR sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust.
ADD the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut flakes and chopped pecans evenly, one ingredient at a time.
BAKE for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
The best part was packing up the cookies and giving them away. Now, I have an excuse to bake again in a few days.

Gratituesday: My Date With the School Books
ByMaybe it's been the heat, maybe it's been the lack of routine, I really don't know. But for some reason, for the first time ever, I had not been as eager as I typically am about the arrival of this upcoming school year.
Why would I feel that way when I love school time with the kids? I'm pretty sure it's just because starting school means that I need to be a bit more disciplined and organized. I've enjoyed our "take it day by day" schedule this summer. What can I say?
However, with school starting for our family in just two weeks, I finally made the time to sit down will all of our books and began to get myself organized. Once I sat down, I believe it took about 3.2 seconds for me to get excited. Books! History! Fiction! Non-fiction! Goals! Fun!
I am once again feeling like I can get into the home schooling groove. Not only that, I am super excited about what the kids and I will be learning this year. (Yes, the kids and I…because I usually learn as much as they do. It's a huge perk to home schooling. I, the mom, get soooo much smarter. Although please never, ever ask me to be a participant on Jeopardy.) :)
As I made out our schedule, I was pleased to see that it actually seems to work on paper. We never carry out our schedule perfectly, but sometimes I can't even get it to work on paper, much less in real life. This year, I believe I figured out what might work. (And if I'm wrong, we'll just tweak it as needed.)
I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn along with our kids, the chance to read loads of excellent books with them, and the privilege of being with them for so much of the day. 2012-2013 school year – here we come! (But not for two more weeks. For now, I'm going to stick to a non-schedule, thank you very much.) ;)

I see that you have Story of the World, there! I ordered that for our first year of homeschooling my nearly 7 year old. Glad to see that it is a pick of yours!
It is our first time homeschooling in the elementary years, and I'm soooo excited! I love hearing how others make it all work. Thanks for sharing about this!
You homeschoolers amaze me. There's a part of me that would love homeschooling, but I keep her locked up tight. Five of our kids attend our K- 12 charter school, and one goes to a small Quaker-based private school that meets his needs better, and it works for us. But like I said, I know I would enjoy it, and I respect those of you who make that leap.
My blog post today, actually, speaks to how I still try to get in some aducation with my kids at home, even though we don't homeschool: http://annesfunnyfarm.blogspot.com/2012/07/a-tip-for-tuesday-teaching-at-table.html.
Have a blessed day!

July 24th, 2012 at 8:27 amHomeschoolers amaze me as well. I think b/c we also have a lot of outside appts weekly AND I tried to work in summer homework I felt overwhelmed more often this summer. So I'm actually looking forward to them going back to school in 2 weeks!!
For those considering homeschooling, you really do have to guided by God, I think, as well as have a love for teaching.
Brooke Reply:
July 24th, 2012 at 8:39 pmDitto! I have several close friend who homeschool or are going to start this fall and it's amazing! We feel blessed that our daughter is in a very good Charter school here in town. I was feeling really torn a few months ago but talking with my husband helped. He reminded me that homeschooling in not always the best choice for everyone all the time. We might in the future but for now we hope our daughter will shine God's love in the school she's in. And we believe that is why He placed her there.
Yeah! It's letting me comment!
Thanks for hosting, Laura. You start school much earlier than we do, but then isn't that the beauty of home education? The freedom to things as they work for your family and lifestyle? Love it. :) We've used "The Story of the World" series for years and have loved it, especially the maps, coloring pages, and activities in the student workbook — so much to choose from, yet the freedom to do what we feel like or have time for.
Today I'm sharing a post on the topic of friendship and how thankful I am for the friends with which the Lord has blessed me.
Blessings to you as you prepare for the coming school year!
Lisa :)
How I admire you and all who home school their children. When rearing my two daughters, home schooling was just beginning (the 1970′s). They attended a Christian school and I feel were well educated there. Now, I would opt for the home school choice. My grandson is two, and we plan to be a part of his home school education. Thank you for all the information you share here on your site.
Blessings and shalom,
I am new to Heavenly Homemakers (found you on Facebook). My little one has a few years before we officially begin homeschooling, but women like you with such a positive perspective on teaching your children are a great encouragement to me in a world that gives me funny looks when I hint that our decision will be to homeschool. Love it![Reply]
Home schoolers amaze me. More power to you!!!!
On this Gratituesday, I am thankful for quiet miracles. This year I organized the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. Our event had only 10 teams participate this year. In the end we raised over $32,000.00 for the American Cancer Society!!!! We also were able to stock our local food pantry for 3 weeks with the canned goods collected that night. I sure didn't expect that kind of success. What a great weekend :)
I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer.
I went through our school stuff about 2 weeks ago and got the schedule to seemingly work wonderful on paper. I am thankful for tweak-ablity of home-schooling. Especially since we just received shocking news. We have an 8 & 5 yr old. We stated late in life and God has truly blessed us. After trying the last several years with no success we felt we were done. Much to our surprise we found out last week that I am 14 weeks pregnant. This really changed things for the coming school year. Oddly enough–although no surprise to HIM, I had to tweak our schedule before we even start. I was kinda giddy as the re-tweak was even better on paper than the 1st.
My oldest son is 4 1/2, and we've made the decision to homeschool this year. We hoped to move to a better school district, but that's not going to happen yet. I checked out the data for the elementary school he would attend here, and it's atrocious! Only about 38-50% of students pass the standardized testing in reading and math in 2nd and 6th grade.
If he were attending public school, he wouldn't be starting kindergarten until next fall. So I thought I would start looking at pre-school programs. Imagine my surprise when I realized everything I looked at was below his level. He's actually ready for kindergarten now. Honestly, I'm not completely surprised because he's very bright, and we've worked with him a ton at home already.
All this to say that I'm so excited to begin this homeschooling adventure! I still have a lot of planning to do, and supplies to purchase. Here's hoping it goes well for us, and everyone else. :)
Enjoyed reading this post. As an earlier commenter (Anne) stated,homeschooling moms amaze me as well. I actually did not enjoy summer with kids home as my kids are very hyper and hard to keep them entertained and get things done that I need to. So I'm looking forward to them getting back into a routine of getting up at set time, going to school for certain number hours, then home for snack then homework, then dinner, then baths and bedtime at set time.
Homeschool moms seem like super-women to me. I desperately want to do this for my daughter (now three), but it seems like the trade off is always either time (create my own lessons) or money (great, but expensive premade curriculum). We seem to always be short on both. I love to learn, I always have. I loved school. I want my daughter to love to learn too and I want to be part of education. But I don't know if I can handle her all day every day for the next 12 years (plus additional children). Not to mention the stress of documenting school. (I've been told by others that PA is rough state to homeschool in. I'm hoping it won't turn out to be that bad.) I really want to do this, I love the idea of it. But the reality may prove to be more than I can handle. Plus my three year old is already asking when she will get to "go to school". She wants to ride a bus and pack her lunch. I can't give her that.
I linked up with my post about how grateful I am for the new member of our family: a new niece born yesterday!
Your excitement over homeschooling got me excited about the prospect of homeschooling, too! Although, my little guy is only 16 months old, so it's more homeplaying than homeschooling for now.
I'm looking forward to my date with the planners! We LOVED Story of the World. In fact, I have a notebook of ideas & activities for vol. 1 if you're interested. Lots of extra reading, fun activities, student pages, etc. Thanks for the inspiration!! Blessings to you. Michelle
For a bit of additional encouragement for you fellow homeschooling moms … check out Karen Andreola's latest post (momentswithmotherculture.blogspot.com)! She has an excellent illustration about keeping the "weeds" out of our children's hearts – something that is much easier to do when they are at home and not so immersed in the culture around them.
I am new to homeschooling this year, starting with pre-k. Any advice on planning and how to? THANKS!!!!
Laura Reply:
July 26th, 2012 at 5:31 amHere's what I recommend for Pre-K. It's what we used for our kids in their younger years, so my husband encouraged me to write it and put it into a book! http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/learn-your-letters-learn-to-serve-complete-curriculum-kit
I'm so thankful for my oldest daughter's compassionate heart! Today in the car she said, totally out of the blue; "Mommy, I pray for Reagan (who was our first born niece/cousin in the family and went to be with Jesus at less than a day old in Feb.) every night, and I pray that Cece and Greg (my sis and BIL) have a new baby that is healthy! I really want a cousin to play with." Bless her sweet little heart. So I asked her if she would pray for that while we were driving and she did. I just felt this peace that God was going to answer the prayers of my sweet Bekah (6) b/c of her complete trust in God.
Thanks for letting me share my own recipe of helathy and tasty Soda Pop Substitute: Essential Oil "Sassy" Water!
