Some dogs just look the part, thick neck, wide chest, powerful back legs as if they’ve spent the day sprinting through fields. You watch them trotting down the street, pulling their on the leash owner the way they might drag a sled and you have to do a double take. And it’s not just the big ones. Sure, pit bulls and boxers are common culprits, but even a little dog like a Staffordshire bull terrier can read as though it were made from a block of muscle. When they walk their shoulders pop. Their thighs are mobile when they sit.

It’s not even training, necessarily. Some dogs are simply made that way. They chase stuff, climb stuff, jump in the car on their own. The muscles seem to arrive on their own, even if they live in tiny apartments and nothing special ever happens. Genetics can be weird like that some bodies pile muscle on just by moving around, while others don’t seem to move the needle no matter how active they are.

But then there are the canine soldiers who do train, in another sense. Dogs that pull carts or trot a mile every morning alongside their owners. Working dogs like the sheepherd that patrols fields.

Their bodies tell the story of their work. Sometimes, they scarcely resemble pets at all. They have the appearance of small athletes grave and in training, even when lying in the grass gnawing on a stick.

Onions can be easy to grow and with a little attention, you can grow them even bigger. But most people prefer starting out with small ones because they're easier to manage and faster growing. You can also start with seeds, but they will take longer and call for more early attention. Either way, they’re a solid crop if you can provide for their finicky demands.

They require a great deal of sunlight and loose soil. Compost or well rotted manure can be added to keep the soil rich and well drained. Testing the soil so that it remains close to 6.8 or 6.9 can increase plant growth, especially if soil is too acidic or too alkaline.

Timing is important. Onion sets can be planted in the ground several weeks ahead of the last frost. Start mielies indoors, Seeds should be planted indoors at least 8 to 10 weeks prior to planting outside. Fall planting is also possible in warmer regions.

Space matters, as leaving a few inches between each plant and about a foot, between rows will give the bulbs room to grow. Nitrogen fertilizer helps a lot early on, and consistent watering, particularly during dry stretches, is important for consistent growth. A soggier texture can also produce sweeter onions. Weeds and pests can be an issue, so consider mulching your patch and using row covers. They may attack the maggots and thrips which are among the most common pests or they may bring diseases, especially if the place has seen previous cases of infected crops. Rotating the location of onion crops each season is highly recommended.

Check out how powerful this blender is, gotta get one ASAP.

When I purchased my first blender, I didn’t really care about watts either. I actually just chose one that looked decent and got good reviews. It was all good until I wanted to puree some frozen bananas. The motor emitted an awful noise and the blades ceased turning. It was then that I learned that not all blenders are created equal.

For things like banana shakes, yogurt with berries or just for making a protein drink, I’ve always found that somewhere between 300 to 500 watts works pretty well. The texture turns out relatively smooth and the machine isn’t too loud. I had one of those for a while and used it many times each morning and had no issues. But once I began to cook more like making creamy soups or pureed sauces, I found I wanted a little extra oomph. About 600 watts felt more powerful and gave me a stronger grip, especially with the pulse button.

It’s the harder jobs that are changing so fast. It’s on crushing ice or pulverizing dates that you feel the limitation. My old blender heated up too much and there were bits no matter how long I’d blend. And then I attempted to make almond butter in it and that was the end of that blender. Now I have one that’s about 1200 watts and it can grind anything, nuts, seeds, ice without getting jammed.

It’s quieter, doesn’t leap off the counter and is simpler to clean. That’s something you never feel until you’ve used both good and bad ones, weak and strong ones.

I used to eat the same three or four meals every single day. Toast and eggs for breakfast, a sandwich or salad for lunch, something plain for dinner. It wasn't exactly a terrible routine but it was getting to be too much. I didn't even notice how much it was until I just grabbed a pack of smoked salmon one day, just to shake things up.

I first added it to my regular avocado toast. I thought it would be okay, but it was even much better than that. It gave this deep, salty flavor that made the whole thing feel like a real dish rather than something I threw together randomly. Then, I started to play with it on other dishes. Smoked tuna in a rice bowl with cucumbers, carrots, a little soy sauce. A handful of arugula on top. It took five minutes to make the whole thing but felt like something I’d order from a cafe.

I usually buy from a fast food joint and rarely cook it.

I liked how easy it was to use, no cooking, no prep, just open the package and eat it. It's real food, too. I read the package and there was only fish, salt, smoke, no frills. I've tried cutting back on processed food in the past, and it felt like effort. This didn't. It just enhanced the meals I already have.

What's even better is how satisfied I was for a long time. I don't get hungry right afterward. And I've done a little reading on omega 3s and protein1. and it's good to see that this product is treating me kindly. I've been buying the smoked fish at a particularly joint recently, they say they focus on sustainability and that makes me feel all the better about consuming it. It's truly just been a minor change, but it got food interesting again.

My brother has a truly amazing sneaker collection and is now in the process of selling all of them. There's so many of them, his closet looks like a sneaker store. He said he wishes he could set the garage up and make the sales there but that place is part garage part basement.

There is so much footwear on the shelves and also on the floor. He has so many sought after popular sneakers and very hard to find sneakers.i even wonder how he got his hands on them but he's been doing that for over a decade so, years of experience. Some are Nike Air Jordans and Nike Dunks in various styles and color ways.

He has Adidas Yeezys, which look really nice to wear and are very comfortable. He has a number of shoes from label brands and luxury brands like Balenciaga, Dior and Off White. He even has sneakers from Puma and New Balance. Each pair is in great shape and all look new. He said, there's a trick and people he knows that allows he to get them for a very good price.

When you walk into the room, it feels like a boutique that resembles a sneaker store. The shoes are clean, showcased and sorted for someone to buy. My brother takes care of them, almost like you would with your expensive car. He now wants to allow others to be able to purchase some great pairs of sneakers. That's going to be huge profit for him.

Today, I actually found out about the price of the Sony A7 II camera, my dream camera. I'm not exactly a photographer but I love the high graphics pictures. I don't have to worry since AI is going to pretty much do most of the picture work but there's still a place for good quality pics by professionals.

I just love the design of this particular camera. This is a full frame mirrorless camera from the company, Sony. The camera is durable and it works well with both beginner and professional users so you'll have no problem with the learning curve if you've never used a pro camera before or a Sony camera like that.

The new price if you want it new is about $925. That's over a thousand dollars for a camera. I guess most people would probably spend it on an iPhone or android wi googd camera but there's a reason why this is just a camera and not a whole phone. The picture quality on this cannot be compared. This must be the camera venom was using to take Spiderman pictures in Spiderman 3, lol.

This price tag is only for the camera body, not with a lens. Another option you could look at is the used price. To buy a used Sony A7 II will cost around $600 to $700. Sometimes people sell it with a lens and in that case, the price can be $750 to $1,200.

When you buy a camera, you should probably check how it works and what condition it is in. Also, you can check to see if it comes with a battery, charger or extra lens, some people try to cheat others when it comes to pricing and specs. When you get great deals, you just have to take it. To me, the Sony A7 II is a good camera priced right. I'm definitely adding this to wishlist for 2025.
