45 Favorite Chicken Recipes
Grill-Roasted Chicken with Arugula and Crostini [1]

Avocado adds luscious richness to this bright, citrusy chicken salad. Be sure to toss the ingredients gently so the avocado doesn't blend in completely.

Lemon-Thyme Roast Chicken with Artichokes [42]

Midnight Star Chicken [136]
Wild Rice and Chicken Soup [139]
Mix a can of cream of chicken soup, mushrooms, veggies and rice mix for the soup base. Any boneless cooked chicken works in this slow-cooker recipe, but chicken thighs, with more moisture from fat, cook the best.
Chicken Veneto [143]
Salvatore's Ristorante in Indianapolis has served this classic Italian dish for years. Artichokes, white wine and pistachios add flavor and texture to a simple sauce spooned over sautéed chicken. The recipe takes only 30 minutes from start to finish.

Spinach-Stuffed Chicken [159]
A spiral of chicken stuffed with oozing cheese creates an impressive and irresistible main dish--perfect for company. The recipe is from Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota.

Chicken Spiedini [171]
Zia's restaurant on the Hill in St. Louis uses provel in this grilled chicken dish. It's a cheese made in the neighborhood that tastes like a blend of cheddar, Swiss and provolone. You can substitute mozzarella if provel isn't available.
Chicken Spiedini [172]
Blackened Chicken with Avocado Salsa [175]
A zesty fresh salsa tops flavorful chicken breast. A little bit of creamy avocado goes a long way to making the dish taste more indulgent than it really is.

Target stores across the country are rethinking the name of one of their popular shoes because it could potentially put off Spanish-speaking customers.
The store is currently selling shoes named "Orina," which translates to "urine" in Spanish.
Target says they decided on the name because of the Russian translation of the word, which is "peace" or "peaceful," but didn't realize that Orina translates to something completely different in Spanish.
The shoes have been available in stores nationwide and on Target.com since February, reports Consumerist.com. Target is currently in the process of changing the signage in the retail stores and on their site.

A man faces charges after tossing beer cans and shouting obscenities at a wedding party during a beachfront ceremony on Marco Island, police said.
Bradley Stiner, 22, was drunk when he crashed the ceremony Friday evening, police said.
MUGSHOTS: Who Got Arrested In South Florida?
Police said Stiner ran behind the altar and then shouted, "Hey tourists, get off my beach. I'm local." Police said he tossed full beer cans, hitting several people, including the best man, and yelled obscenities at the wedding party.
Members of the wedding party chased after him. When police caught up with Stiner, he said he had the right to be on the beach as a "taxpaying citizen."
A police report stated Stiner was so intoxicated he had trouble standing without swaying.
He faces a misdemeanor battery charge.

Seen the light
Jim DeMint has seen the light and knew what was going to happen if he sought re-election, so he stepped down. When is Lindsay Graham going to see that same light? He is going to get voted out.
Eyes off the ball
The Republican Party has taken their eyes off the ball. DeMint and Haley were promoting themselves instead of looking out for South Carolina. Now we have to pay for it.
DeMint needs to finish
If Jim DeMint actually cared about the people who elected him, he would serve out his term rather than cash in for the money as a D.C. lobbyist and letting Gov. Haley appoint his successor.
Death penalty
To the people complaining about the death penalty in South Carolina, I know it's not going to bring back Scotty Richardson. But it's trying to stop people from doing what they're doing. Some people just get the devil in them.
Swearing in public
Is it now fashionable to swear when dining out in public? Aiken is not Bronx, N.Y.
There is a large tree between South Boundary and Colleton on Marion Street. I'd like to know how old it is and if it's on city property or private property.
Tree transplant
Concerning the Christmas tree in Aiken, has anyone thought of transplanting a large evergreen downtown and decorating it year after year? It's not that complicated.
Metal tree and bridge
I agree that, as beautiful as Aiken is, I am horribly ashamed with that metal tree, instead of a real tree. I am also absolutely appalled and disgusted with the Laurens Street bridge.
Same-sex divorce
I got something really interesting and funny for you. I can't wait to start seeing some of these same-sex marriages ending in divorce. It's going to be fun to see who does what to whom and how and where.
Being brave
United States of America, home of the brave and the free. Why aren't we brave enough and free enough to put out a Nativity scene, or say "Merry Christmas"?
Scrapple debate
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and we had scrapple and liver pudding. They are not the same thing.

Convicted killer found teaching in Iowa high school
An Iowa town is in shock after parents learned about the background of a teacher's aide.
Police said Paula Pace was working with students at BCLUW High School in Conrad, a town north of Marshalltown.
Pace was convicted in a connection with a murder case in 1965 when she was known as Paula Baniszewski in Indianapolis.
Pace was a member of a family that tortured and killed a neighbor girl -- 16-year-old Sylvia Likens -- in the Baniszewski home.
Pace's mother, Gertrude, was convicted of murder and has since died. Pace pleaded guilty of involuntary manslaughter at just 17-years-old.
"It's bizarre that things like this happen," Grundy County Sheriff Rick Penning said.
The sheriff said he got an anonymous call tipping him to Pace's past last week.
"Our information is totally anonymous or whether it was someone with a vendetta or with curiosity or safety of the students that they want to make sure everybody is legit in the school system," Penning said.
The sheriff told school administrators and that's when Pace was suspended. The shocking news spread like wildfire.
"It was just weird, why, cause we're in like basically the middle of nowhere. And every one wants something big to happen but we really didn't expect that to happen I guess," student Zoe Counter said.
During a closed session Tuesday night, the school board voted to fire Pace.
"I recommend that the board of education terminate the employment of Paula Pace, effective immediately for providing false information on her application," Superintendent Ben Petty said.
The board refused to answer questions about the controversy.
Parents said they want to know how Pace's past went undiscovered for 14 years.
One parent who showed up at the meeting hoped the BCLUW administration has learned a lesson.
"I would like our schools to step up and make it mandatory to do background checks so something like this does not happen. This had a happy ending, but it could have had a bad ending," parent Belnida Wallen said.
NewsChannel 8 reporters tried to ask what Pace lied about on her employment application with the school district but Petty said neither he nor the board would have anything else to say.
Pace could not be reached for comment.
Grundy said Pace's record was clean otherwise. Some of the students at the school said Pace was always nice to them.

I wouldn't called them scrubs, they have some very good unknown talent. Young, good up and coming team with tons of cap space and draft picks.
Again, we get to the FT line more the our opponent.
Matt Barnes channelled Jamal Crawford tonight.
What a comeback win by the Clippers after a lackluster first half. Matt Barnes certainly the hero tonight with the absolutely huge 3's in the 3rd quarter. That's in addition to the excellent defense & cutting. If Matt didn't play, this game would have been a sure loss. CP, Blake, & DJ were below par in the first half, but they certainly turned up their game in the second half.
The bench had odd combinations as Doc Rivers seemed be experimenting, so there didn't seem to be too much synergy there. That hurt the team as the Suns bench outplayed the Clipper reserves.
Hopefully granger gets more burn. He won't ever be comfortable without some minutes
It's not a surprise the Suns bench plays well, their ranked 6th best in the league. Our bench, due to injuries and new faces is constantly in perpetual flux.
Not taking away from the rest of the teams contributions, I'm just saying which players stood out to me and without Matt's scoring spree in the 3rd qtr bringing us back in the game and DC defense and clutch shots, it would've been difficult for us to pull this one out.
Also during the game thread I gave props to other players individually for great plays like DJ, Cp3, Blake, etc...
I don't think that's having a terrible mentality or being negative.
I prolly should have re-worded it better. My bad.
I wish blake would crash the boards more - it's not just playing with dj because a ton of rebounds were there for the taking.
He just doesn't seem hungry for them. He should be getting around 10.
I hope Glen has a better game against the Lakers on Thursday. I also hope Danny gets some burn too. If Dudley still has his back spasms, we may see Danny play even more minutes then.
Great comeback win the bench will need more time for sure. Barnes won't give up his starting spot without a fight. If Doc does bench him he will be telling him because we need his great play helping the second unit.
Matt barnes will kill you.. Big baby will eat you!!
Exactly. We all should pray we stay healthy and the synergy and chemistry is found by the time the playoffs come lol.
I like a second unit of Collison-Crawford-Granger-Davis- And i guess Turkgolu?
^ With collisons leadership and orchestrating the offense, Crawford being that firepower all star, danny granger for great wing defense and 3 balls, big baby for defense and hustle we should be good. Question is who runs the 5? Run DJ for like 35 -40 minutes in the playoffs? hopefully he can do it. all he really does is play defense I don't think that is asking much
I actually thought the Cavs were going to beat the Spurs but a good night overall.
We got the win. great job by barnes. I was going to come on say this was one of those games that we needed a 1st or 2nd string SG but they stepped up and got the W. Pretty amazing how this team can just turn it on and win a game in one quarter.
I miss jj. But collison is playing great and answering the bell
Talk about the trades that Aren't made, Matt Barnes and DC playing great. I'm haven't heard the :We Miss Bledsoe Talk in a long while.
Man I'm liking the way were playing Defense, both units are playing allot better.
if keep defending like this I'm sure were going to the finals...
The OKC game saw a new energy level on defense that I hadn't seen before.
I think it was 2nd Half of the Memphis Game. But I still wished they'd Rebound the darn Ball, but man sky's the limit if they keep playing this way. Did anybody notice that Blake and DJ had One Dunk between them, and how's about DJ's Free Throws, I never thought they'd look this good, he sure is improving as the Season's gone along.
by the way collison been playing with the starters, which is great both offensively and defensively. don't you guys think it would be better for him to start as sg than crawford?
i'd rather just have willie start. i want jamal to get that 6th man of the year. collison and jamal can put games away going against other teams second unit
Would be nice to even get Barnes with the second unit. Doc is hoping for health to balance things out because having our best 5 on the floor and then going full bench seems to leave huge drop-offs. Green and Granger may start just for the sake of balance.
Willie's two hand dunks last night is awesome, give him more minutes and he will give you a good result.
Yeah Willie's Dunk surprised me too and that was the only good move by big baby However I think Davis should be at the 4, he can't protect the rim like DJ.
Davis & Hollins or Davis & DJ/Blake.
Hope Granger will play against the Lakers much more. Besides his currently mediocre scoring he's still a good defender.
Good win, but can't be too comfortable with the way the game unfolded, it was tight till the end and we needed an unlikely source to go off to pull ahead.
CP looks really rusty, 5 turnovers, he does not look anywhere near the form of last season. I know he is fresh of the shoulder injury and nursing the thumb, but if its affecting his play maybe he should take a few game s off and make sure he is 100% healthy going into the playoffs.
Willie played with more Athleticism when he was in Philly before he injured his knee, He was actually on his way to big things before that too. But he hasn't been the same player since then. Really good to see him get up there again. That was really good play by Big Baby, Blake often has that play but never makes it, maybe this will give him an Idea.
i think he just had an off game. 3 of the 5 turnovers happen in one quarter in less than 5 minutes. it was just a slow start. slowly but surely he'll get back to form. he was playing pretty well the last couple of games. he had like 3 turnovers in a span of like 4-5 games. i think it was just that kind of night
CP3 had 4 turnovers in like 5 games before yesterday, Sun defense was just hounding him, that's all.
He was also pressing too much in the 1st half where he had 4 turnovers. He was much better in the 2nd half.
I think he was trying to prove something to Dragic. He did a pretty good job taking Dragic out of the game. Held him to 14 points. They were pretty much a wash.
DJ since the new year (29 games):
DJ last 20 games:
DJ last 10 games:
Getting over the 50% hump is a good sign
Don't forget that DJ is clutch in free-throws especially when the game is on the line...he puts a dagger right through the heart of every players that dare to foul him...
I'm so sick of stephen a smith saying doc is going to pull him in the fourth quarter:
Doc has shown he isn't pulling him
His fourth quarter free throw average is pretty good and not a problem
He is almost at that magic 55 percent number where you shouldn't hack
Dwight Howard and Andrew bogut aren't good foul shooters, but he doesn't pick on either of them for it. Especially bogut
Bogut is shooting 34.4 percent from line!

USC Aiken's University Theatre returns Thursday with the annual "Experimental Relief" production.
The program will debut at the Etherredge Center on Thursday at 7:30 p.m., followed by performances at the same time on Friday and Saturday and on Sunday at 2 p.m.
There is no admission fee; however, donations are encouraged with proceeds going to Helping Hands, the residential shelter for children in Aiken.
Each year's production features five new or excerpted one-act plays, and all of them are directed and acted out by students.
Morgan Hall is acting in an unusual movement play of dance and is also directing "The Bachelorette," a comedy written by student Shane Barber.
"It's my first time as a director," Hall said. "It takes place the morning of the wedding, and everything that could go wrong does."
The other cast members are Jesse Sistare, Kelsie Blocker, Zakkiyya Vel'Ale and Sydney Fowler.
"I just wanted to write pure comedy," Barber said. "Basically, I just wrote it, and everyone who's seen it seems pleased."
Barber is also directing "Rock Candy," written by Quintin Williams.
It's a murder mystery that begins after the one-year anniversary of death of one Harold Miller. But that day, the widow, Darlene, is found dead, and the mystery, of course, is who done it.
The cast includes Sistare once again, with Lauren Ellis, Kelsie Blocker, Tevin Reddick, Daniel Burkett and Alexander Newton.
But the audience won't see Sistare long as Darlene.
"I'm the extra who gets killed," she said cheerfully. "One short paragraph, and I'm gone."
The dance piece is called "Little Red Riding Hood: The Movement." Genny Brady choreographed the performance and also plays the wolf. Sydney Fowler portrays Little Red Riding Hood, and Hall is the Wood Woman.
"We really get to experiment," said Fowler. "It's something we don't have readily available."
Brady, a senior, usually works on the technical side of the University Theatre program.
"I'm a first-time director, and there are four different dance pieces and a fight scene at the end," she said.
The other plays are as follows:
• "Breaking Bones" - written by David Hallman and directed by Quintin Williams. The cast is comprised of Alex Newton and Michael St. John.
• "Sordid Lives" - an excerpt from a 2000 film and later a play, originally written and directed by Del Shores. Barber and Lauren Ellis perform in the two-person act.
Hallman, who graduated last May, was well known for his humor, both in performing and writing.
"It's hilarious, really comical," St. John said of "Breaking Bones."

I have been reading about pedestrianism recently, I suppose pedestrianism is probably what would be known as race walking these days. My interest stems from the "celebrated Captain Barclay" who once lodged with my GEERING ancestors in Hailsham, Sussex.
It helps that I like walking, however my style of walking is not the same as these pedestrians, less about speed and more about having the time to take everything in and enjoy myself.
I was browsing a copy of the 1813 book Pedestrianism by Walter Thom (available on Google Books) when I discovered the following passage:
Thomas Miller, of Cowford in Sussex, on the 7th of July 1795, walked from the market-house at Horsham to Westminster Bridge-a distance of thirty-six miles-in five hours and fifty minutes, with apparent ease.
I wasn't sure whether to be pleased or not. I was pleased to discover a Sussex pedestrian, especially one so close to home. Cowford is almost certainly meant to be Cowfold (which is just up the road from me) and Horsham is my closest town, which I pass through every day on my way to work.
I was a little disappointed that Thomas Miller had walked one of the routes I was intending to walk this year, and what is more he had done it in a time that would put my feeble efforts to shame.
The idea came to me last year as I was sitting on the train on my way home from work, watching the milestones at the side of the track. I noticed that we were only about thirty miles from London (or a couple of days comfortable walking). It was then I remembered a milestone in Horsham alongside the park (pictured left) indicating the 36 miles to Westminster Bridge.
At first I thought that with a bit of judicious planning I could probably find a more direct route, following footpaths rather than roads, but then I thought it might be more interesting to try to follow the route of the original road to London.
I have done some preliminary work on the route, but I haven't finalised my plans yet. In a way the discovery that someone else had already walked the route over two hundred years ago adds more to the story, especially if I could find out more.
Unfortunately my initial efforts at finding out more about Thomas Miller have proved fruitless (no sign of him in the Cowfold parish register transcriptions), but I don't really have a lot of information to go on. Hopefully I can find another account of the walk which might provide more details.

Wont sacrifice freedom
Most of the 23 points that the president proposed are fine with me because they are designed to keep guns away from crazy people, but, the legislation that hes proposing that prohibits military-styled weapons and limits the amount of rounds that a person can carry is just plain wrong. What really bugs me is that in his speech, he told America not to listen to people like me with opposing views because Im wrong, self-serving and not using my common sense. How arrogant. There are always two sides of an argument and hes attempting to shut down the dialogue by making the other side less credible. Believe me, I know his side of the argument and could argue it for him and I still believe in my side of the argument. In case you havent considered both sides, heres mine:
Criminals arent going to abide by this new law as they break the others.
The 2nd amendment wasnt written to make sure that we can still hunt. We see in the news and throughout history that often countries are overthrown from within. Lord forbid there be a time that someone goes nuts and takes the military with him. Our citizenry must be armed with the same resources as the military. Its a hard concept to consider; probably causes cognitive dissonance attempting to think about protecting ourselves from the country and the military that we love and respect so much but that is exactly what the amendment is referring to.
Be very weary of people who say, If it saves one life, then its all worth it. I dont want one more person to be the victim of a gun either, but Im not willing to sacrifice my freedom for that impossible dream. Wouldnt we be an easy country to overthrow if it took threatening one life?

A grand jury investigating the death of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey voted to indict her parents 13 years ago, but the district attorney in Boulder refused to prosecute the case, The Daily Camera of Boulder reports.
The bizarre circumstances surrounding JonBenet�s death on Christmas night in 1996 drew media attention nationwide. Her strangled body was found in the basement during a second search of her Boulder home several hours after she was reported missing. A ransom note sought $118,000, but apparently no effort to collect it took place.
The newspaper cites multiple sources, including members of the 1999 grand jury, saying John and Patsy Ramsey would have faced charges of child abuse resulting in death, but District Attorney Alex Hunter declined to sign the indictment.
�I and my prosecution task force believe we do not have sufficient evidence to warrant a filing of charges against anyone,� Hunter told reporters outside the Boulder County Justice Center on Oct. 13, 1999. He did not mention the grand jury�s vote.
Patsy Ramsey died of ovarian cancer in 2006. The Ramseys and their now-adult son, Burke, were exonerated in July 2008 by then-District Attorney Mary Lacy, based on updated analysis of DNA samples from JonBenet�s clothing. �Numerous prosecutors labeled her doing so as both unusual and questionable,� the Camera said.
Some jurors � who spoke to the Camera on condition of anonymity � are not sold on the exoneration.
�We didn�t know who did what,� one juror is quoted as saying. �But we felt the adults in the house may have done something that they certainly could have prevented, or they could have helped her, and they didn�t.�
�It�s still unresolved,� another juror said. �Somebody did something pretty horrible that wasn�t punished. ... I�m not saying that I am at peace. But I had sympathy with his (Hunter�s) decision.�
Former Boulder first assistant district attorney Bill Wise was among those confirming the jury�s vote. �It names both of them, John and Patsy Ramsey,� said Wise, who was Hunter�s top assistant for 28 years but did not participate in the grand jury process. Wise said he agrees with Hunter�s decision.
Boulder attorney Bryan Morgan, who represented John Ramsey, said there must have been �some very professional and brave people in Alex�s office and perhaps elsewhere whose discipline and training prevented a gross miscarriage of justice.�
Hunter, who left office in 2001 after 28 years as Boulder County�s district attorney, declined to discuss the grand jury�s actions with the Camera, but cited �the inviolate secrecy of the proceedings and the differing burdens of proof applicable to jurors and prosecutors.�

Lineside Passes
Lineside Passes (2016 season)
Railways are inherently dangerous places. Incidents involving trains usually result in life-changing injuries or even death. Therefore, careful consideration and appropriate control measure must be implemented to allow persons to go on or near the WSR railway lines.
The WSR recognises the importance and meaning of lineside photography to enthusiasts and so has put in place a system to recognise the importance of safety whilst accommodating the wishes of the photographer.
A Lineside Pass (known as a LSP) gives the photographer a unique opportunity to gain some bespoke photographs and video of trains on the West Somerset Railway which is not available to the general public.
The safety of all staff and visitors who need to go on or near the railway line is paramount and needs to be carefully considered with respect to LSPs.
The WSR Training Officer has the responsibility of managing this process and can be contacted at Minehead Railway Station where details of courses can be discussed.
The process for issuing a WSR Lineside Pass is:-
1. The applicant must attend a Personal Track Safety course (known as PTS) and pass the associated examination. A PTS photo-card will then be issued to successful applicants and is valid for three years from the date of issue. The courses are usually held between 10am and 2pm and you will need to bring a High Visibility Vest with you
2. Once the PTS photo-card has been issued:-
A LSP will be issued to the applicant which will be valid for one year from the date of issue.
A High Visibility Vest with the applicants unique reference number will be issued to be worn at all times by the applicant when near the line.
The cost for the PTS course, issue of cards and High Visibility vest has been held from last year and is £50 per applicant.
The courses are deliberately aimed to take place before Gala events and successful applicants will be issued with a temporary LSP to get the applicant out and about straight away.
A standing exemption exists for holders of valid PTS certificates issued by the mainline railway companies which suffice for access to WSR lines.
Unfortunately, PTS issued by Heritage lines is not accepted by WSR.
Please click here to download the application form for your lineside pass. Please note your Lineside pass will only be issued upon receipt of a valid PTS.

Over the last few months I have been thinking about writing my own personal history. Not that I think my life has been particularly interesting and I am sure it will not be of interest to anyone other than myself. I would be writing it for purely personal and selfish reasons, to enable me to remember things that have happened in my life.
I am becoming aware that things are changing in the world around me and I am not getting any younger. My memories of my childhood and schooldays, my early working life are starting to fade or have already gone. It was really brought home to me last weekend when I was thinking about my walk along the South Downs Way, although it was only a few months ago the details are starting to fade.
I know I wrote about it on my blog, but that was only a very basic outline. Perhaps it will be enough to jog my memory in the future, but I am sure there will be things that I have missed out which will fade from memory. I also have lots of photos, and these will help jog my memories, but will I be able to remember all of the place names and why I took that particular photo?
I suppose this blog is the closest I have ever got to keeping a diary, despite previous attempts I have never lasted more than a few weeks keeping a daily diary. Going forward I probably need to try again, but not recording every day, just important or interesting days, most weekdays are not that memorable the following day, but every now and then something more interesting happens that I might want to remember at a later date. Even if nothing interesting happens it will probably be worth recording what a typical day was like every once in a while.
Then I can go back and record as many of my memories as I can before it is too late. Many of them will not be for a specific date, more for a period in my life, such as childhood or schooldays. Some entries may be very brief, perhaps even just place holders for things I need to try and remember (or ask others about) such as when we visited a particular place, a book that I read or a film that was special in some way.
I have been wondering just how I was going to record all these memories and I think I will probably use a blog like this one, except that it will be private, not that there are any shocking or scandalous secrets, just that it will probably not be of any interest to anyone other than me. Occasional memories might slip over into this blog (hopefully not accidentally) if I think they might be of interest or relate to my ancestors.
I think a blog is going to be the perfect medium, because of the simplicity of adding photos and other media and because I know may way around it. I have always been one for hanging on to things like train tickets and buying postcards when we visit places. Then there are things like the covers of books and CDs that have some special significance. The good thing is that because it is for my own personal use I don't need to worry too much about copyright on images.
The other thing I like about using a blog is the ability to tag things, so I can put things in a rough chronological order, buy tagging with a specific date, a year or even just a time period such as schooldays or 1980s. The only problem will be finding the time to actually do the writing and adding in images, although once it is set up it shouldn't take too long to just write a piece. For starters I think I shall try adding just one memory or event from the past each day along with anything interesting that happens on a day to day basis.

At the end of the organising process I would like to have achieved the following goals:
- To have only three folders of paper. One containing original family documents* (arranged alphabetically by surname with dividers). The second folder should contain just general research material and a third to hold documents relating to current research projects in separate pockets/wallets.
- All the original family documents, whether they are in the family documents folder or the current research folder, should be scanned so that I have digital copies as a backup (see my post on reviewing my backup strategy), and all the data from them should have been extracted where possible and added to my Family Historian database.
*These are modern documents such as copies of birth, marriage and death certificates and copies of wills. Things that could be replaced, but would cause additional expense and inconvenience if I had to do so. This doesn't include historical documents or old photos, that need proper storage in archival boxes, those will be addressed separately.

When I left Hurstpierpoint Cemetery I didn't really where I was heading. I knew that I was ultimately going to end up at Hassocks railway station, so I could get home, but I wasn't quite sure how I was going to get there.
The shortest and quickest route would have been to head east out of Hurstpierpoint on the main road, but I wanted to be out in the countryside, so I decided to follow a path just north of the cemetery. Besides it was still early afternoon, far too early to be heading home!
When the path got clear of the houses to the south the views opened up to the South Downs and there looming up in front of me was Wolstonbury Hill, just begging to be climbed.
The walk so far had been pretty flat, Hurstpierpoint Cemetery was really the last genealogical connection, so now it was time to put the family history to one side and to personally challenge myself with a climb up the hill.
It was a nice gentle route to the foot of the Downs, past the magnificent Danny House (currently a retirement home). All the time Wolstonbury Hill getting closer and seeming more and more unclimbable. I reached New Way Lane and approached the foot of the hill, there was no turning back now.
No turning back maybe, but no way forward either! The footpath was blocked, closed to allow repair work, for six months, how could the West Sussex County Council do this to me? Here I was ready to ascend Wolstonbury Hill and they had closed the path!
Of course there was more than one route up to the top, only the northern and western sides were closed, I continued east along the lane and found another path heading south, before long it started to climb and I knew I was on the right path. The path was well shaded, but not particularly smooth, not far up the hill I came to a junction of paths and I wasn't entirely sure where I was, eastward seemed to take me out into the open and back downhill again, that was no good, so after consulting the map I pressed on south again up further.
A short distance further I came to a gateway that opened out onto the side of the hill, and I could see the path leading right to the top. This was it, after another application of suncream (and a mouthful of drink) I headed out into the blazing sun and launched myself up the hill.
That last section was one of the most exhilarating climbs of my life, the sun was hot, there was little breeze, my leg muscles were complaining, but I was all alone, not another soul in sight, enjoying the beautiful Sussex landscape that emerged once I had cleared the trees.
It felt fantastic to be pushing myself to climb this hill, I had never witnessed the views from the top before, but I am sure many of my ancestors had before me. It had been a struggle but the reward was well worth it. It was a clear day, a little bit hazy in the distance but that didn't matter, and I could see for miles in all directions. I wandered around the earthworks at the top of the hill, visited the trig point and just savoured the moment. There was a slight breeze here, but little shelter apart from a few gorse bushes. I found some shade and sat down, quenching my thirst with more drink and applying more suncream.
I sat and admired the view, it was breathtaking. It didn't matter that I didn't know what half of the places were, what mattered was that it was Sussex, my Sussex, my ancestors Sussex. I could think of no better place to be on Sussex Day. The sense of achievement was tremendous, I felt physically and emotionally that I was on top of the world.

Late mail
Our mail has not been coming lately until after 5 p.m. I really think they should do better and I feel very sorry for our nice mail lady.
I would like to know if anyone knows where you can locate the standard-size collie.
Unreported crime
I would like to know why crime goes unreported when it's in New Ellenton. It's not that the police don't know about it, it just never makes the news.
Gas prices
I am calling about the people complaining about the gas prices. When it was up, I rode. When it was down, I rode. You can't have it both ways.
Bring your own
To the person who submitted the TalkBack "Sanitized," be responsible, make good choices. If you don't like Walmart, bring your own sanitization equipment.
Free lunches
This is in response to Nov. 14's TalkBack about free lunches. To the person that wrote this, all I've got to say is this just made me sick that we have people living here in Aiken that have this attitude about life. Shame on you.
Parkway expansion
Hooray. I'm one of the people that's for the expansion of Hitchcock Parkway.
Hope for the best
I am speaking in reference the comment on Sandy and the President caring less. Who would not instead be positive, hope for the best, and pray that not only our president and each member of Congress would do for all members of the United States to the best of their ability and not being judgmental.
Pig's feet and knuckles
I was wondering if there was anybody that could tell me where I could find pickled pig's feet or pickled pig's knuckles.
In response to the advice for GOP on Nov. 14, you're right. Democratic voters do resent the rich. Republicans resent big government. But, yor most astute observation is that the working class has gotten poor during this administration and will vote for the party that will give them aid on the way down.
Hostess and unions
Looks like the unions have destroyed another company in Hostess with their greed.

My quick bit WREN follow up research took longer than expected, the problem was that at this stage I didn't want to get too drawn into the family, but it was very difficult to get to a point where I could stop without leaving things unfinished.
The particular problem was the fact that Charlotte WREN, my 4x great grandmother was living with her son Charles and his wife (and their family) on the 1881 census and with two of her grandchildren on the 1871 census. I couldn't just record Charlotte and leave the rest of the family off.
So I added Charles and his wife Mary, but I couldn't stop there I had to find her maiden name, interestingly it was GASTON one of the variants of my own surname, and details of their marriage from the GRO Marriage Index.
Then came the children, seven or eight of them altogether, with some very strange spellings of their christian names on a couple of them. I had to check the GRO Birth Indexes to see what the names were meant to be.
So what should have been a quick little exercise has taken me three or four times longer than I had planned, but I just couldn't leave the job half done. Hopefully tonight I will be able to get on with some more filing and organising.

The highlight of the postcard collecting calendar is the annual Picture Postcard Show, also known as BIPEX (British International Postcard Exhibition), which takes place this week, running from Thursday 1st September 2011 to Saturday 3rd September 2011.
The three-day show is held at the Royal Horticultural Society's Lawrence Hall in Greycoat Street, London and is described as "the world's most prestigious card show". Full details including admission prices and opening times can be found on the Postcard Traders Association website.
The Picture Postcard Show is like a normal provincial postcard fair on steroids, with a greater diversity of postcard dealers in attendance, including many from overseas. This means a greater diversity of postcards and as the website says, "some of the best cards available today".
Unfortunately it doesn't look like I am going to be able to make it to this year's show, but you can read about my previous visits here and here.

The trouble started when Tom King�s cellphone died on his way to a job interview last year. He saw a public phone at Washington�s Bainbridge Island Ferry and was relieved, he said, when a sticker reassured him that he could make a four-minute call for $1.
That didn�t turn out to be entirely accurate. King made four one-minute calls using his credit card, for which he expected to pay $4. But a few days later, he discovered that he�d been charged $14.98 for each connection, for a total of nearly $60.
�I was shocked,� he said.
Stories like King�s are a cautionary tale for travelers. Fewer than 500,000 public telephones remain in the United States, operated by a network of independent telecommunications companies that set their own rates, which often can be startlingly high. Verizon, the last major telecommunications provider of pay-phone services in the United States, left the industry in 2011 when it agreed to sell almost all of its remaining 50,000 phones.
Stories such as King�s also have inspired one California state senator to propose a law that would require telecommunications companies to disclose credit card charges for pay-phone calls. California Senate Bill 50, which was introduced last month, would amend a 1993 rule requiring pay-phone operators to disclose the cost of a call so that it would include any calls made with a credit or debit card.
Telecommunications companies are taking advantage of a �loophole� in the rules, says state Sen. Ted Lieu of California.
�At the time the law was passed, using a credit or debit card for pay-phone calls was uncommon, and thus not addressed by the law,� Lieu said.
Consumer advocate John Mattes, an attorney who unsuccessfully has sued several companies offering these pricey calls from public phones, says he hopes the legislation will have a ripple effect, encouraging other states to adopt similar disclosure requirements and eventually compelling the federal government to close the loophole once and for all.
�It would be a long-overdue victory for consumers,� Mattes said.
No one knows exactly how many travelers have fallen for these phones, but there have been plenty of reports of overpriced phone calls. Last year, several media outlets reported that U.S. soldiers in transit through Germany were being billed up to $40 for a one-minute phone call home through a company that claimed to be based in Switzerland. But problems with credit card calls from public phones cross my desk with some regularity, and normally, my inquiries on behalf of the customer result in a partial or full refund.
King, who�s a writer by trade, didn�t take the $60 charge lying down. He tracked the charge to a company called WiMac Tel, a company based in Palo Alto, Calif., that offers pay-phone services to �inmate facilities, pay-phone operators, hotels, hospitals, universities/colleges, local exchange companies and consumers nationwide in the USA and Canada,� according to its website.
�WiMac Tel promises customers that their pay-phone systems can make pay-phones profitable again,� said King. �Well, duh! At nearly $15 a minute, I imagine so.�
James MacKenzie, WiMac Tel�s chief executive, said that the $1 rate on the pay phone King saw was for coin calls, not credit cards.
�Unfortunately, there is insufficient space on the pay phone to provide all the various rates associated with operator-service calls,� MacKenzie told me.
Instead, customers can opt in to disclosure through a series of voice prompts when they use WiMac Tel�s service. MacKenzie acknowledged that credit card call rates were significantly higher, attributing them to the �higher costs� associated with those types of calls, including the expenses incurred by having to validate the payment method, billing and collection, bad debt, offering live operators and credit card processing fees.
However, after King complained, the company lowered his bill to $22 � �still pretty high for a pay-phone call,� King said.
Excessive phone charges used to be one of the staples of my consumer-advocacy practice. Hotels considered their phone lines a profit center and would add generous surcharges to their guests� phone bills, sometimes even imposing fees for lifting the phone from the receiver. That�s largely gone now, thanks to the preponderance of cellphones.
But a smaller threat remains. Lieu estimates that his bill would affect about 30,000 public phones in the state of California, many in places where constituents can least afford the high charges, including prisons and hospitals.
How do you avoid these fees? Keep an extra battery handy when you travel, so that if your cellphone goes dead, you won�t have to resort to using a pay phone. If you must use a pay phone � and there are still times when you�ll need to, such as when there�s no reception � then buy a prepaid phone card.
Given the risk of being overcharged by credit card or debit card, you should reach for your plastic only as a last resort. Try using coins or bills to pay for the call, if possible. We�re still a long way from closing the disclosure loophole for credit card calls, and until then, it seems, your pay-phone calls could cost a lot more than you expect.

If you�ve ever sat on the edge of an open airplane door, looking at the ground 8,000 feet below, then you know what it�s like to take a leap of faith.
Well, try this if you dare: Stand at the top of the stairs at The Irish Embassy Pub some third Wednesday of the month. Rid yourself of every unproven belief to which you cling.
Go on, now. Head downstairs and join the Durango Skeptics and Atheists.
You�re taking a leap of nonfaith.
Think of these meetings as an extreme sport for intellectuals. For the next two hours you will be forced to confront your deepest beliefs. Your meaning of life. You will need to defend, at least to yourself, the beliefs you hold dear. Or you will perhaps tearfully need to let them go.
If you�re fortunate, you will leave with your scrambled self-identity still salvageable.
With 73 percent of Americans still professing to be Christians, a number that has declined from 78 percent in the last five years, it�s not mainstream to be a practicing heathen. But it�s the only choice for those who can�t face the hypocrisy of worshiping a greater power in which they can�t honestly believe.
The Durango group is not alone in its nonbelief. The latest survey by the Pew Forum on Religion shows that 20 percent of the U.S. population is not affiliated with an organized religion. Atheists comprise 2.4 percent of the U.S. populace and agnostics 3.3 percent, numbers also on the rise.
So go ahead, walk down those stairs. Meet the group. First off, you�ll find that the skydiving analogy was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration.
Really, this is a bunch that is willing to listen, and its members attempt to be nonjudgmental. If there�s truly any fear in coming down those stairs, it�s in knowing that your beliefs will come under scrutiny from within.
�It is challenging, but it�s fun,� says Tom Hancock, a Durangoan for 36 years.
Hancock�s story is fairly common. His views on religion, his questioning the existence of God in the Christian sense, were shut down by his parents. The Durango group is helping him solidify those views.
�Lots of good ideas, coming from the heart,� is how he describes a typical meeting.
Kathleen O�Connor moved from Austin, Texas, to Durango with her husband two years ago. When she saw the group�s page on meetup.com, she was excited beyond words.
She was one of the original members. Through word of mouth and the website, the group has grown to 77. The bond is a nonbelief in God, but �it�s more just about applying critical thinking skills to all areas of your life,� O�Connor says. �Not just with religion.�
If you believe that being a skeptic and atheist is arrogant, member Clayton Nash would claim just the opposite. The skeptic is humble.
�What I want to believe is true isn�t necessarily true,� Nash says. �If an argument is based on rational thought we�ll accept it. ... We�ll change our mind if you show us the truth. I�ll believe anything. Show me.�
Last month, 20 people � 16 men and four women � gathered downstairs at The Irish Embassy Pub. One brave attendee did profess a belief in God, and, although he didn�t convert anyone, he was treated with respect.
For many members the group�s primary goal is not to be offensive or to confront people about their beliefs. It�s to create a semblance of community for people without a religious affiliation. Church-goers have a built-in community the unaffiliated lack.
The first order of business is for new attendees to reveal themselves and answer a few questions, among them: How would you label yourself?
The question is most difficult to answer when you�re not even sure what being an atheist or agnostic or humanist or skeptic means. Warning: One can go crazy trying to come to an agreement on definitions. But try these:
An atheist sees no proof that there is a god, but does not necessarily deny that there could be a god.
An agnostic believes it�s impossible for a human to know whether or not there is a god.
A skeptic needs proof before believing in something, whether it�s a god or that, say, a certain herb can cure your body of cancer.
A humanist focuses on the positive aspects of humanity and how a god is not needed to be moral.
Bill Vana, noting the wide range of beliefs in the Durango-based group, calls himself a humanist.
�It�s more I care about all humans,� Vana says. �I�m not against God. I don�t say there�s no God. But I don�t plan on it. ... I do good for the sake of doing good, not for the reward.�
Fort Lewis College professor Dugald Owen, at the prodding of the local atheist group, will speak Feb. 18 at the college on �Living Deeper Without God.� His theme will be that we can recognize our human potential more fully if we don�t allow God to get in the way.
�We mostly don�t understand the universe and should be open to all possibilities,� Owen says.
One of the great tasks of being human is to figure out what we can and can�t understand of the universe. It�s to �meet a universe that�s complex and not necessarily designed for us.�
�The belief in God just obscures that task for humanity,� Owen says.
There�s a growing contingent in Durango that meets to view the universe through a lens unfiltered by a god. Think of it as a support group for people who insist on critical thinking, come what may.
Is this such a frightening proposition?
�It�s OK to not believe in a god,� O�Connor says. �It doesn�t make you a bad person to not believe in a god. You don�t need religion to be a good person.�
It�s not for everyone to take the leap of nonfaith. But the view is exhilarating, the feeling liberating. And, judging by last month, it appears that most people land just fine and walk away intact.

I can�t take it anymore.
I always get really angry this time of year. Retailers are doing their best to get me to spend every last cent I have on stuff to give to my friends and family.
For years, I have been under the impression that this time of year was to be about peace and goodwill toward our fellow man. So I combated the reality of the season by being in a bad mood and tried to get everyone around me to follow suit. It didn�t work.
This year, I have given up on asking for world peace, the end of hunger, politicians obtaining backbones, the press to stop being prejudiced toward Republicans and Lake Nighthorse to open. Nope, I�m going after stuff.
Because I haven�t asked for stuff in such a long time, I was at a loss for whom to ask. I was not going to the mall to sit on some old guy�s lap, aka Santa Claus, and tell him what a good man I�ve been.
I was in a quandary until I saw an ad from a retailer about coming into its store. Men, if you are older than 60, I have found the place we need to go. I am going to Victoria�s Secret and visit with Miss Claus (MC). Imagine the surprise our wives will have when we tell them we want to go the mall with them. This is going to be great.
I plan on getting there really early because I know MC will tire out from all of us overweight guys sitting on her lap. I envision standing at the head of the line and MC, dressed in Victoria�s Secret�s idea of what MC should wear to work, calling me over with a seductive wave of her index finger, and then patting her lap for me to have a seat. She�ll then whisper in my ear, �Tell MC what you�d like for Christmas.� I�ll start to talk and she�ll say, �Whisper it in my ear; you don�t want all those other geezers to know what you want.�
So, being the good man that I am, I comply. Thinking the whole time, �You smell really good.� I get past this and say, �I want a bass boat. Not one of those that looks like a rocket ship, just a small one that I can catch bass, trout, pike and carp from.�
�Go on, MC says.�
I stammer, �My waders are leaking, so a new pair would be nice. And wading boots, too. That will keep my feet warm.�
I�m sure MC will remind me that my wife can keep my feet warm, and I�ll have to let MC know you can�t get two pair of feet into one pair of boots. I�m sure MC doesn�t know how to fly-fish. I�ll then whisper in her ear, �Sunscreen that is thinner than motor oil and smells as good as you do would be nice.� I�m sure she�ll blush at my flirting, but she knows I�m harmless.
As my time is running out, MC will say, �Two more wishes, and it will be time for all the other geezers to have their turn.� Man, time flies when you�re having fun.
For my last two wishes, I say, �I want the leader and tippet manufacturers to stop making line that ties itself into knots, all the while telling me it�s the wind.�
�One more,� I hear quietly in my ear.
�I want to be the man my grandkids and dog think I am.�
�No problem, now look at the camera for your picture with MC.�
I�m going to have it framed and put on the mantel, so I can remember what Christmas is really about.
I want to end with my tradi�tional year-end closing: I wish everyone Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, a good Eid al-Adha and, of course, Merry Christmas. If none of these fits your beliefs, then may whatever touches your heart with hope be with you all of 2013.

These Iris Gnomes are hard at work to ready the Iris bulbs for Springtime blossoming. One larger (3 3/4" tall) and one smaller (3" tall) (Mama and child? Big sister and little brother? Dad and child?) dressed in a deep purple and a bright yellow make a wonderful pair and add a bit of cheer to a nature table, child's room, story, or window sill. Sturdy enough for every day play. Fits perfectly in the palm of your child's hand. Great for a birthday. (Measurement is from bottom of gnome to top of its cap. Cap sizes can vary a tiny bit - these are all handmade.)
Handmade of wool felt on a wooden base, exclusively for A Toy Garden. USA. Not for children under 3 years of age.
"Sonya, thank you for my order! It arrived a week or so ago and my children (and I!) love the toys. We are gradually getting rid of all of our plastic toys that "sing", as my daughter says, and replacing them with natural toys that inspire the imagination. The gnomes that we ordered have taken on so many roles in the last week...a mom for our dollhouse, a baby to make a bed for out of silks and tuck into said bed, a monster for the dollhouse, a little pet of some kind, and a grandma to the other toys! However, I must tell you...my daughter's favorite item from our order? The little stick-on ladybug from the receipt! Thank you, Kelly B., Tualatin, OR 8/26/07"

Wants to stop road project
I am very concerned about the planned S.C. Department of Transportation project to widen Hitchcock Parkway.
This project will isolate our neighborhood of Houndslake North from the Country Club side. It will make the properties on White Marsh Road, Troon Way and Deerwood less valuable because the traffic will be so much closer. The same applies to properties on the north side abutting the road. Most importantly, in my opinion, it will desecrate a beautiful scenic drive and byway through Hitchcock Woods, the crown jewel of Aiken. We moved here for the rural character of the area. This will create the same urbanization that occurred on East Pine Log Road. I hope we can stop this project.
What can the residents do to stop this? How do we let the City Council know of our concern?
