![]() ![]() Mary’s Road where owner Jack Simoes and his repair team got it working as good as new for a fraction of the cost of a new one. But instead of tossing our first Dyson, we took it to Tache Vacuum Centre at 521 St. We just bought a new one after more than a decade. Despite their expensive price tag, my wife Jackie and I love Dyson vacuum cleaners. I’ll give you a recent example at my house. Or there are still some old school repair businesses which are thriving again as people struggle to make ends meet. However, there are now websites like that help you do it yourself. Stuff is designed for the dump these days because companies would rather just sell you another product. But that’s the problem … in many cases, manufacturers make repairs difficult or costly or both. Instead of throwing something out when it’s broken and simply buying a new one, we really should be at least trying to fix the old item if possible. ![]() With inflation so high, the right to repair movement is gaining steam.

![]() It’s easy to be kind, especially to people we like, love, and care about. He gave us many examples of using actions and words to show kindness to everyone. ![]() He offers love and mercy to everyone and calls us to do the same. Whatever you would want someone to say or do to you- say or do for them. Don’t base your acts of kindness on whether you think the person deserves them. Most know this as “The Golden Rule.” Jesus is telling us it doesn’t matter what someone else does to you. ![]() Jesus tells us that even the small things matter: “if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to these little ones…” Mt 10:42 He blesses all acts of kindness, large or small.īut He wants us to go much further than that. There are plenty of small ways to show kindness- a smile, a compliment, holding the door open for the person behind you, a call or text to check-in. Why is kindness important? Think of how different our world would be with kindness at its core! Definition of Kindness in the Bible We shape our own part of the world with our words and actions. We each play a part in how we treat others. It seems that showing kindness is more important now than ever. I want my interactions with those around me to be pleasant and uplifting, not hostile or mean. Would you prefer those interactions to be of a helpful, thoughtful, courteous, gentle nature? Those are all definitions of kindness.Īn interaction of the opposite kind would be hostile, indifferent, intolerant, mean, selfish or cruel. We interact with a myriad of people daily- in person, online, and on our phones with texts and verbal conversations. I’d like to start with one of those fruits: kindness. I use them as inspirations and to convict me of where I go astray. One way I am trying to accomplish this for myself is to pray for the Fruits of the Spirit. So I’m continuing on my mission to spread encouragement, compassion, and hope. I revisited old blog posts recently, and my very first post two years ago talked about the “angry, fearful, and aggressive” nature of our society. Kindness seems to be steadily eroding from our fast-paced, busy society. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tart apple slices – Tart apples are always better for baking.My favorite pie crust recipe is from Stella Parks (BraveTart) with the addition of lemon zest. Some cooks insist on adding a splash of white or apple cider vinegar as well. Tender, flaky pie crust – Pie crust is essentially a mixture of all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, salt, and water.Serve warm with ice cream and enjoy!Īlthough this crumb pie is much different than the traditional version, it is equally as delicious! I’m certain you will love it as much as we do.You’ll need a few key ingredients to make this recipe: Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 15 minutes. Assemble the pie. Transfer the apples to the crust then sprinkle the crumb mixture over top.Add the coconut oil and pure maple syrup then pulse until a chunky dough forms. Prepare the topping. Pulse the oats, oat flour, almond flour, salt and pecans in a food processor until roughly chopped.Mix cornstarch with water, add to skillet and cook until thickened. Prepare the filling. Cook the sliced apples in butter then add maple syrup, coconut sugar, cinnamon and ginger. ![]() This will assure it is cooked through properly before the moisture of the filling is added. Parbake the crust. Buying a prepared crust means all you have to do is bake is for about 10-minutes, until light golden brown.Even though I wouldn’t recommend it, you could change them out for walnuts or almonds, if desired. Pecans- I love the flavor and texture that pecans provide in the topping.I haven’t tested it this way so it would require some experimenting to figure out exactly how much. Almond Flour- Almond flour provides moisture to the topping so it can’t be subbed out for oat flour unless you want to add more oil.Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats and oat flour, if necessary. Oat Flour- This is the base of our crumb topping and what will be used instead of a wheat flour.If you’re not into that, feel free to substitute an extra 1/2 cup oat flour instead. Rolled Oats- Incorporating rolled oats gives the topping a chewy texture, almost like a granola.Lemon Juice- A small amount of lemon juice prevents browning of the apples.I haven’t tried substitutions but arrowroot may work in its place. Cornstarch- This will help thicken the sauce that the apples are cooked in for a nice caramel-like texture.Feel free to use more or less as you see fit. Ground Cinnamon and Ginger- Both of these spices add flavor to the apples.Vanilla Extract- Always just a hint of vanilla to level things up.You could also use brown sugar in place of coconut sugar, if desired. Coconut Sugar- The granulated sugar kicks up the sweetness a few notches while also imparting caramel flavor.Pure Maple Syrup- Again, using coconut sugar and maple syrup might seem unnecessary but the syrup is adding moisture so you can’t interchange one for the other without adding liquid to the recipe.Granny Smith Apples- Even though you can use any variety of apple, I find that the tartness of granny smith apples compliments the sweetness of the pie perfectly.That said, you can use one or the either if you don’t already have or want to buy both. Vegan Butter and/or Coconut Oil- Using both butter and coconut oil may seem redundant but I personally prefer the buttery flavor for the apple filling and the richness of the oil for the crumb topping as it tends to provide more moisture and prevent burning.If you need the pie to be gluten-free, be sure to source a certified GF crust or you can try my super easy 5-Ingredient Grain-free Pie Crust. Prepared Pie Crust- I’m one of those lazy people who rarely makes my own pie crust so we’re going with store-bought here to save time.Regardless of their diet, everyone will love it, AND it also happens to be safe to serve to those with allergies or dietary preferences. But folks, trust me on this one, this pie is legit. Now I know a lot people see the words vegan and gluten-free, and think to themselves, “that can’t be as good as the real thing”. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and that’s it. Soft apples cooked in a gooey caramel sauce and topped with an oatmeal pecan crumb that is packed with flavor and texture. When it comes to apple pie, this recipe is in its own league. In a perfect world I would make a sampler of all my favorites pumpkin pie, apple pie, pecan pie, chocolate pie, and even sweet potato pecan pie. Vegan Apple Crumb Pie- Made with an oatmeal-pecan crumb topping that tastes like fresh baked granola, this vegan apple pie is a crowd pleaser! (easily made gluten-free)Įvery year when I’m planning what to make for Thanksgiving, I always get hung up on which pie to make. ![]() ![]() 1600x1200px DJ From Disney Pixar Movie Cars HD wallpaper.2560x1440px Sunset, Lake, Dusk, Purple sky, Reflection, Dawn, Nature, water and sunset HD wallpaper.Game Art HQ, Tekken Lili HD phone wallpaper 1462x2460px Lili Rochefort From The Tekken Series.1080x912px 37 Dj cotrona ideas, flint dj cotrona HD wallpaper.1536x2732px Dusk Till Dawn, From Dusk Till Dawn HD phone wallpaper.1722x2435px Girl From Nowhere The Series HD phone wallpaper.1721x2435px Girl From Nowhere The Series HD phone wallpaper.1920x1080px Dawn, Dusk, Nature, Outdoors, Red Sky resized, Pink Ocean HD wallpaper.736x1104px Online Legal Advice from Expert Lawyers in India.1920x1080px 16 From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series HD wallpaper.1920x1080px My Love from Another Star, korean series HD wallpaper.1680x1050px From Dusk Till Dawn Official Clip Nam Flashback 1996.1600x1200px Cities, Dawn, City, Building, View From Above, Street, Big City HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Aadhya Anand, from Amazon miniTV's latest series Crushed, has become a nationwide crush!

![]() ![]() I also didn’t love the annual subscription. I quit using Suitcase after a big UI (user interface) upgrade in 2016 or so that I didn’t like, and many other designers didn’t either. Previously called Suitcase Fusion, I used it for years (literally 10 years or more) and it was always pretty reliable. These first two I’ve used myself so I’m comfortable recommending them to you.ĬONNECT FONTS DESKTOP (Mac/Windows) = $108+ They also deactivate when you shut down your computer, so it will start fresh on reboot. Good font managers will only activate fonts used in the documents you open and deactivate them either when you close that document or quit the app you were using. When you start to collect a lot more fonts than what initially came on your computer, those fonts start to slow down your computer because it has them active & running in the background all the time, for every application, even when it’s not necessary. Ok, so what does font management software do –you ask? It’s typically an app that handles turning fonts ON and OFF for you so that they’re not ALL constantly running in the background of your computer. ❷ Font management software What the hell is a font manager? ![]() ![]() Once you’re all done (prepare to spend some time on this if you have a few hundred/thousand files to go through!), then it’s time to move onto Tip #2! (Don’t recognize these style names? Check out my free Font Pairing Guide for visuals on what these different styles look like, at a glance!) My biggest folders tend to be Script, Serif, and Sans Serif, so those each have multiple style folder groups inside the main genre folder. Do the same with any folder that starts collecting more than you’d want to scroll through at any given time. For example, scripts can be further organized into Brush, Calligraphy, Formal, Casual, Handwritten, Painted, Retro, etc. If you end up having TONS of fonts in any particular genre/style, you can further organize them into different types of that genre. (To make this easy, I open 2 Finder windows side by side just drag & drop!) Create a new folder, INSIDE your main font folder (the one you just created if you didn’t already have one), and label it something like “serif” or “handwritten.” Repeat the process for every style you think you have, then look at every font file and move it into the genre folder it’s closest to. I suggest doing this is by genre or style. Let’s get ‘em organized now that they’re all in one place! (Okay, so you don’t have to be as excited about organization as I am, but let’s get started anyway. ![]() I keep mine in my Documents for easy access, but you can choose where you want to keep yours.

If you have thousands of fonts and you’re scrolling through them constantly searching for certain styles or that one you JUST CAN’T REMEMBER the name of… then you need my help! Designers end up having sooooo many fonts. ![]() ![]() ![]() (And wouldn’t you consider a mouse running through your living room out of the ordinary?)Īmerican Shorthair cats are thought to be descendants of the felines that came over with colonists on the Mayflower, or perhaps even earlier. Although usually friendly and mellow with people, these “watchcats” are quite reactive and may be quick to attack when something is out of the ordinary. They’ve retained these hunting skills as they eventually spread to lands beyond the island. Manx cats, with their distinctive lack of tail, began life on the Isle of Man as mousers. But while they were once known for keeping rodents out of barns during brutal New England winters, today Maine Coons are beloved indoor pets and appreciated for their undemanding attitude and playful yet gentle antics. This combination of traits has earned them a reputation as intimidating mouser cat for several centuries. Not only are Maine Coon cats often polydactyl, at up to 25 pounds they are one of the largest cat breeds. Polydactylism is seen more often in certain breeds (also known for their mouser abilities), including the Maine Coon cat, Highlander cat, and Pixie-bob cat. And because of these extra toes, they are top-notch mousers, climbing higher and faster and perhaps having better balance than their non-polydactyl peers. Polydactyl cats have extra toes on one or more of their paws. Talk to the volunteers at your local shelter or rescue for suggestions on which kitties may be perfect for the mouser life. Although every kitty deserves a pampered life indoors, there are many strays (some even semi-feral) that would love nothing more than to keep mice out of the barn. That’s right, the best mouser cat is probably sitting at your local shelter waiting to be adopted. If you’re looking for a feline that will excel at rodent control, look no further than…. Some cats are better mousers than others. Naturally, these cat and mouse games led to the designation of domestic cats as “mousers.” This is why cats are considered obligate carnivores. Unlike many species (including humans and dogs), cats can’t synthesize taurine on their own they must ingest it in their diet, which can only be found in animal sources. What is it about mice and rats that kicks cats’ predatory instincts into overdrive? It turns out that cats consume their prey to get taurine, an essential amino acid. Keeping these pests away from food sources benefited the farmers, which led to the domestication of house cats. Unfortunate songbird statistics aside, cats as apex predators have played an important role for the past 10,000 years: As agricultural practices spread, cats served as nature’s best rodent control. Yet another reason to keep your kitty indoors! We must not forget that cats’ superior hunting abilities are sometimes to the detriment of nature: Cats are responsible for the death of 1.3 to 4 billion birds in the United States every year. With a characteristic flap of skin extending from the posterior end of the ribcage to the hind leg, the Egyptian Mau is capable of great bursts of speed. Their hind legs are long, giving them the appearance of walking on their tip-toes. The alluring Egyptian Mau is considered the fastest domestic cat breed. How fast can cats run?Ĭats can run as fast as 20 mph for short bursts-and some breeds can run up to 30 mph ! They lengthen their spines by alternately extending and flexing their backs, allowing for extra-long strides. ![]() Although both of these cats appear wild, they are domesticated, man-made breeds that love humans as much as hunting. The smaller Serengeti can jump 7 feet into the air, while the large Savannah-which holds the Guinness World Record for tallest domestic cat-has no trouble reaching great heights. ![]() Breeds that are notably strong jumpers include the Serengeti cat and Savannah cat. How high can cats jump?Ĭats can jump as much as nine times their height from a standing position. But the truth is, cats are perfectly evolved ambush predators: They can lengthen their spines to allow for bursts of speed, narrow their shoulders and chest to squeeze into tiny spaces, jump many times their height from a standing position, and land on their feet almost every time they fall. It may seem like a leap to say that domestic house cats are carnivorous beasts at the top of the food chain. ![]() Big cats such as lions, tigers, jaguars, and lynx are considered apex predators in their respective habitats. Let’s find out why felines in almost every ecosystem are considered apex predators.Īpex predators have no natural predators in their ecosystem-meaning they are at the top of the food chain. And domestic cats eat 3 million chickens and more than 20 billion rodents and birds every year-just in the U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() The oil in your skillet will get hotter than that measly 212 degrees, so it’s the perfect tool for breaking down the aromatics and extracting all their flavors. Many ingredients won’t release all their flavor until they reach a high temperature (like higher than the boiling point of water or stock). I know we all get in a hurry, and it may be tempting to skip this saute step, but it’s really an important part of building a flavorful soup or stew. ![]() White onions will work well too, but I don’t recommend Vidalia or Walla Walla onions that really can be a little too sweet for this soup. ![]() Yellow or Spanish onions are my favorite all-purpose varieties since they have a good balance of strong, spicy flavor and a subtle sweetness. The aromatic base starts with onions, garlic, and bell peppers which create a strong, flavor-packed foundation. The best part is that it’ll be ready to dish out in less time than it takes to find those big, roasting marshmallows buried in the back of your pantry. This is a hearty soup with a thick, tomato-filled broth full of tender macaroni and beef, a real stick-to-your-insides meal that will give you plenty of energy to tackle your afternoon or a satisfied stomach ready to stretch out in the evenings and watch the fireplace crackle (even if it’s just one of those flickering on your TV screen). My Beef and Tomato Macaroni soup, basically comfort in a bowl, fits the bill for sure, and you’re likely to find some bubbling away on the stovetop in my kitchen on any given Sunday. Most soups take minimal effort to put together with maximum flavor payoff, plus there are usually plenty of leftovers to dip into throughout the week between football practice, or shopping, or building Pinterest pages of my favorite holiday decorations. Time savers equal lifesavers in the kitchen, and a big pot of warm, soul-soothing soup is one of my fall favorites. This simple but satisfying, hearty Beef and Tomato Macaroni Soup will be a repeat visitor to your dining table when the temperatures drop and appetites grow. ![]() ![]() ![]() These required edits were not clearly spelled out in older documentation versions, and the provided command suggested it would work out of the box.Įspecially in case of PDF/X you MUST specifiy a valid ICC profile to use.

Solo Stove also offers a smaller size (the Ranger 2.0, which is 15 inches in diameter) and a larger size (the Yukon 2.0, which is 27 inches in diameter) and sells a grill grate accessory kit (we haven’t tested it yet).Smoke from burning wood is made up of a complex mixture of gases and fine particles, which are also called particle pollution or particulate matter. Outdoor recreational fires can become a considerable source of fine-particle air pollution – especially in some metro areas. However, all the stove’s metal sides get very hot to the touch. Also, the thinner-gauge metal of the Bonfire appears to hold and radiate less heat than that of the heavier models we tested. (We compared a fire in the Bonfire with an open wood fire by burning them side by side, using wood from the same source.) One perhaps unforeseen consequence of the smoke-reducing afterburn effect is that all that gas redirection seems to project the heat of the fire straight into the air, cutting down on a lot of the radiant heat you might expect to feel when sitting near a regular fire pit. However, once it gets burning, the Bonfire does eat up a lot of the extra smoke by our admittedly rudimentary estimation, the fire pit reduces smoke by about 70% to 80%. But then, none of the pits we tested are. ![]() Like all the fire pits we tested, the Bonfire is easy to load with wood and to light-though due to the smaller pit diameter, you have to stack standard-size logs carefully to make them fit. It’s also small enough that we had no trouble hiding it behind patio furniture or in the garage when it wasn’t in use. Why it’s great: The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is simple and so light-it’s half the weight of our other picks. We have picks that are lightweight and easy to move around, aesthetically unobtrusive for a patio, great for cooking over, sturdily built at a bargain price, and the type you might expect to own for a lifetime. What distinguishes fire pits from one another is largely their looks, how easy they are to clean, and, to some extent, the available accessories.Īs a result, finding the right fire pit for you is a matter of personal choice, depending on your needs. That extra oxygen creates a secondary combustion of the fire’s off gassing, molecules which usually create smoke if they aren’t burned. In the end we chose two as our top picks: the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 for most people and small backyards, and the Tiki Fire Pit for people with larger yards or those who enjoy the more patio-inspired looks of the Tiki model.Īlthough we did choose two favorites, note that in our testing nearly all the smokeless-pit designs worked more or less the same: They each have two walls (kind of like an insulated thermos bottle), and they leverage the difference in air temperature between those walls to create extra airflow through holes in the walls of the firepit. We spent four months testing nine fire pits in Hawaii and California. Few things are as pleasurable as a toasty fire in the backyard on a chilly evening.īut if you find that the accompanying smoke dampens the pleasure, or if your neighbors live close by and prefer to keep their bedroom windows open to catch the cool air, you might consider using a so-called smokeless fire pit, which eliminates some (but not all) of your fire’s smoke and most of the ash. ![]() |
