GLORY TO THE CHILD ^ Some Lay Thoughts At Christmas BIRTH:—Now more .than at any other time of the year we glorify the child; we bring it gifts; we even lift it op-above its parents, as they are-forever only an incident to its being. The mystery of birth is again seen and-felt;, for the thinking soul knows that an unseen Presence, working through both father and .mother, builds the new life that is to be—they of their own will being unable to shape a single one of the child's myriad cells or members or form or functions. In the roughest shelter or the richest palace this is true. INFANCY:—The precious child arrives through the narrow gates of life. Unlike any other creature, it is swaddled and cherished every . moment. Its slow, but, growing responses to light and sounds are eagerly watched for bv those who have taken it into their hearts—the natural impulse of parents (indifference is unnatural). Its whimper-ing, its helplessness, its frequent needs are all part of the age-long story since human life began to be. The mother- is the priestess in the temple of life. She never slumbers, nor sleeps until she knows that all Is .well with the child. GROWTH:—The parents, as the child thrives, will make any shift of home or even go to a far country that the^child may be safe from harm. The child first; the parents second while-its helplessness lasts! The little one learns its confining crib and its rattling toys. At last, no longer confined, it explores on hands and knees Jts en-larging world. • Then erect. It toddles into the great outdoors with its unknown dangers; from^which parenthood helps to shield it without destroying its own alertness or caution. H speaks {Oh Joy!) it makes sentences; it thinks. ADOLESCENCE:—Its eager eyes now open to read wondrous things out of human scrolls and books and from nature's spreading canvass. Its hands come into trained • use. 'it follows its father's teaching and gives tooled form to things. It asks questions; it speaks out its own developing ideas. It is sometimes puzzled; it argues with others: it gives and takes its share in a world of earnest convictions. It reverences recorded truth and with the eye of the mind it looks ahead over the way of the workish world in which it must inevitably play a part. MORE GROWTH:—It learns that for it, and for all, some things are good and help towards an understanding of the laws of the universe; and some things are bad, tempting; the .beautiful young being to turn aside from its honor as an inheritor and a'donor to life's future. Choosing between good and evil, it finds that ANY FORM .OF WOHK WELL DONE increase? the total of deeds, triumphs and sacrifices of the human race. In its' growth it comes to know that every other child, in even the farthest clime, is of the same origin as it—here through the same Presence. MATURITY:—It puts away childish things, even childish employments. It finds its task in a wide, wide worloU ItVBhrlnhs, not from doing its duty even if others -oppose it~^It-secs -.the^jwtltoeSi--^^^ ML far1: from, the _placjB Where -It-.WaiL HAITI- If. |»*o* it«-*d«»-*il^-W^<ili»*k^rl4*»««*«- 4Kun4«*4*. «..,*.«.

VanRiper,* '• = chief clerk of the Light and Water Department revealed in a talk given at the December meeting of the Home Rul? party in Exempt Fire-men's Hall. Other speakers the same evening were Clinton H. Walling, superin-tendent of light distribution, and Thomas F.

He added power com-panies were boasting reductions they had made in recent years, and remarked few of them could equal Freeport's record. The chief clerk also cited statis-tics concerning the operating in-come from the power plant. In 1937, the total was $153,344.76, in addition to which free service was given in the amount of $54,249.20. For 1945-46 operating income total- *ed $131,516,30 Uie lesser amount be-ing due to three rate reductions made since 1937. In addition free service totaled $61V708.96 and $14,- JL40i54,_e^iuiyalent to what a private company would have had to pay in taxes, was paid into ^the general funds of the village. * Mr. VanRiper anticipated that for the fiscal year1 ending Feb. 28 next, the opei ating income would be $13^!000/ free service, $58,000 with a contribution of $14,140 fcrthe ;gen-fund. He exhibited a graph showing that the output of the plant kept on an even upward trend from 1927 until 1942, and' 1943( when there was a drop dur-ing the war. However, from then en the upward trend continued until at the end of the current year It will reach that which pre-vailed prior to 1942. In 1927, he said, 48,000.000 kilo-watts of electricity were generated at the municipal plant, in 1937 the-number was_12,300,000 and this year it is expected to total 22,000,000. Mr. VanRiper said he believed th^ village should plan to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establish-ment of the municipal power plant in 1948. Mr. Dunn spoue^on the advan-tages of a Diesel engine operated plant, and Mr. Walling traced tihe history of the plant since 1928. Dr. George A.

BONIFAY — Holmes County Board of County Commissioners voted to cease the county's service of providing rock to private customers during their March 26 meeting,
The vote was 4 to 1, with Chair Monty Merchant voting "no."
County Attorney Jeff Goodman explained that the county was being reimbursed for the cost of rock and the fuel to transport it to those who wished to purchase it within Holmes County.
Goodman said that he arranged the policy for the county to "get out of the business based on possible liability."
There were too many possible liability issues that could occur when going on private property to deliver a product, even if the county was being reimbursed, said Goodman.
Commissioner Kenneth Williams agreed with Goodman, stating that he was uneasy with such a high risk of liability on the County to be entering on to private property.
"We need to get out of the rock-selling business," said Commissioner Bill Parish. "It not only puts us in competition with local companies in the same business but it's too much of a liability. We have no intention of hurting or hindering service to our residents but we shouldn't be involved in the private market place."
Merchant disagreed with the decision.
"I know we're not in the business of hauling rock but it's not like dirt," said Merchant. "It's not like we're hauling it every day."
The board also approved of the resignation of Holmes County Development Chair Bud Riviere.
The commissioners also approved of abandonment resolution for the Colletti Property.
After a public hearing, the road abandonment was tabled after local resident Tom Smith said that abandoning the road would mean cutting off access to his property.
"This is the first I've heard of this," said Goodman. "Let me look into the matter and bring it before the board at the next meeting. We won't need to hold another public hearing and if this is cleared up then we'll just need to publish after adopting it and after 30 days it will be made effective."
This issue had been brought before by resident Jeffery Johnson at the board's Jan. 16 meeting, requesting to properly vacate a street that dead-ends next to a piece of property he purchased recently from Colletti.
"It's 8.5 acres of usable land, but if that piece of street was properly vacated it would be 10.6," said Johnson.
Landowner Daniel Colletti said the Board's old resolution didn't include the lower half to be properly vacated, but that he was ready to sign the required paper work and pay the $500 to place up the sign.
"We've got to run an ad and hold a public hearing at the next meeting in March," said Goodman.
Goodman explained that he and Smith had a discussion and found that it wasn't a matter of access but a matter of devaluing.
"We had a very good conversation and found that he has access to his property," said Goodman. "I've also explained that all these roads have already been abandoned, but since they were not properly filed before we're having to go through this process now."
The board agreed to start the process of abandoning Prosser Lane at the request of landowner Steve Rocher since he has purchased all surrounding land and he is the only one to be impacted by abandoning the road.
"We have to advertise for a number of weeks in the newspaper, then we can hold a public hearing and then take action," said Goodman.
The commissioners also approved of advertising and holding a public hearing to continue the 1 percent Small County Surtax.
In other business, the board approved of their new Paid Time Off Policy, which is a universal policy stating that those in violation of abusing their PTO will be issued a warning on their first offense, receive a week off without pay for their second offense and face possible termination upon the third offence within a 12 month period.
"I've included leniency for health and other emergency related situations," said Goodman.
Parish requested the purchase of two culverts, one for $2,000 and another to temporarily replace a bridge for $4,000.
"It's just a possible temporary fix until other arrangements can be made," said Parish.
Parish added that the road department was still receiving calls for culvert permits.
"We need to let everyone know if there's any issue with a road that they should call our main office," said Parish. "If there's any issue to do with a road residents should call 547-1119."
He also requested that a new document be provided to the road foremen so that a more detailed report can be submitted.
"It's important that we have good documentation," said Parish. "It's more for the foreman to do but it will help in the long run. I suggest we make a form from other counties and collaborate with the foremen to see what can be adjusted for what best fits our county."
Merchant encouraged the new commissioners to attend Legislative Day, which was held April 4 at the FSU Turnbull Conference Center in Tallahassee.
Goodman also encouraged the new commissioners to attend a convention in Tampa that is arranged specifically for new commissioners.
"They will hold seminars that are quite informative," said Goodman. "I'm only suggesting this because I was informed that the new commissioners wished to expand their understanding of their office."
The next scheduled meeting is set for 9 a.m. on Tuesday, April 9. in Bonifay.

Anyone but Obama
Christian conservatives -- at least, as represented by the 3,000 or so attendees of this year's Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. -- are determined to make Barack Obama a one-term president. "My motto for next year is 'anyone but Obama,'" says Ellen Elmore, an attendee from Missouri. Who that anyone is, however, still matters, she says. "We want a real conservative -- we don't want another John McCain."
Which gets to the core dilemma facing social conservatives and the Republican Party: They are enthusiastic about next year's election but divided on what it means to be an authentic standard-bearer for the movement. To a large degree, this is a product of dashed hopes. Representative Michele Bachmann thwarted former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty's attempt to appeal to the broad Republican base with her devout adherence to social conservative dogma. In turn, her hold on the conservative imagination was smashed by Texas Governor Rick Perry, who gained rapid appeal with his Southern swagger and brash radicalism. But that wouldn't last, either. With his poor debate performances, weak grasp on the issues, and willingness to buck party orthodoxy on immigration, Perry alienated some conservatives and lost his status as front-runner.
Unlike his competitors, Mitt Romney has maintained steady support among Republicans nationwide. In its most recent survey of GOP voters, ABC News and The Washington Post found that 21 percent of Republicans support the former Massachusetts governor's bid for the nomination -- more than any other candidate. That, however, didn't mean much to the crowd at the Values Voter Summit, who weren't so sure of his conservative credentials. "He's just kind of wishy-washy," says Richard Alexander from Virginia. Ellen Elmore was a lot more aggressive when asked about her thoughts on Romney: "He never apologized for Romneycare, he believes in global warming, and he has been praised by Al Gore -- that should say it all."
For evangelical Christians, Romney's Mormonism is the core problem with his candidacy. "It is a cult," says the Reverend Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas, who introduced and endorsed Texas Governor Rick Perry at the summit. "Every true, born-again follower of Christ ought to embrace a Christian over a non-Christian." This, he said, "is not a right-wing fringe" view, but one supported by the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.
Of course, this dislike of Romney doesn't necessarily translate into support for Perry, whose standing among Republicans has slipped dramatically in recent weeks. "I'm not sure about Perry," said Edward Staves after the governor gave his speech. "I'm not confident that he is who he says he is." Likewise, one longtime summit-goer gave this assessment: "Based on his statements, I'm not confident about Perry on values. And with the HPV vaccine, I don't trust him on health care. If you can't trust him on one thing, what about the others?" Tepid support for Perry brought him 8 percent of the straw poll's vote, tying him with Bachmann.
Indeed, the Values Voter straw poll stands as a testament to conservative uncertainty over the nomination battle.
Georgia businessman Herman Cain, who entered the Republican race as a novelty, has emerged as one of the most popular figures in the field. Last month, he scored a first-place finish in the Florida straw poll, and this weekend, he earned second place in the Values Voter straw poll with 23 percent of the vote. (First place went to Texas Congressman Ron Paul, whose fervent supporters left him with 37 percent of the vote.) Romney -- the front-runner nationwide -- pulled in 4 percent of the vote.
Cain's speech Friday afternoon was a barnstormer. His loudest applause, a standing ovation, came when he noted his upbringing under Jim Crow, but he told the crowd that he's never been upset with the treatment of blacks in America. "I have achieved all of my American dreams and then some, because of the great nation, United States of America," Cain said. "What's there to be angry about?" he asked.
Post-speech, audience reactions were effusive. "The guy was fabulous," said one attendee, "Does the term 'home run' ring a bell?"
Of course, even with his popularity among some Republicans, Cain is a long shot for the GOP nomination -- his organization in early primary states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina is thin, to say nothing of his nonexistent presence in later states that might prove crucial. Among the people I spoke to, most understood this: "I don't give him a chance, but it would be interesting," said Edward Staves. "At least, no one would call him a racist."
This, more than anything else, gets to why Herman Cain has risen to the top of the GOP field. Yes, conservatives are unhappy with Romney and disappointed with Perry. Yes, Cain has charisma to spare (as you can tell from watching his speeches). But that doesn't explain his rapid rise to the top. Insofar as anything does, it's this: To many conservatives, Cain offers absolution from racial guilt and a unique chance to turn the tables on liberals who accuse the right of racism. When Herman Cain says that he isn't angry about the treatment of blacks during Jim Crow, he's offering racial grace on the cheap -- a chance to feel good about race without actually doing much. This is what differentiates Cain from everyone else in the GOP field, and to many Republicans -- including the ones at the Values Voter Summit -- it's all he needs for their support.

Denial of racism is just what conservatives want to hear. They must maintain their fantasies no matter what the effect on society, rather than take personal responsibility for their actions. That is what make religion so popular, avoiding personal responsibility. Do all manner of crimes but be instantly "cleansed" by some song and dance display of alleged conscience.

Don't you feel sorry for these folks who are deluding themselves into thinking that they are the real patriots, while the rest of us, just don't understand. VOTERS VALUES SUMMIT, they don't even know what valuse they are promoting!! Their words are empty rhetoric about love of GOD and country, when they are so willing to support the GOP efforts to make millions of people suffer needlessly, in order to achieve a political goal of "Making Obama FAIL". They lack true humanity and are living proof that there is no CHRISTIANITY in the conservative movement within the GOP.

I still can't believe that (CAIN) actually believes that slavery was okay, racism is okay, and that equality for individuals of a darker hue--has arrived. This brother is sick and needs therapy really bad. I am only 35 years young and never went through what my grandmother or mother had to go through. However, I did see them stand up for me in certain situations in regards to "white" people been racist towards me. I am just in awe that this man even has a platform in this country.

True... but how deep does that support run? Enthusiastic testimony and affirmative telephone poll responses, I grant you, but will they actually pull the lever for him in the ballot box? Because if ever there was a voting population susceptible to the Bradley Effect, the 2012 GOP electorate is it.

Mr. Bouie, it is as though you are unable to grasp that a charismatic black man with attractive moral principles and very solid takes on the issues dear to conservatives could have the support of (white) conservatives based on those qualities alone?
Sorry. You appear to be looking through a racist lens.
Fri, 2012-02-17 12:03
No that BO's a proven absolute undeniable failure based on any economic, societal, green farce, geo global, or constitutional level, it appears that yes ANYBODY BUT OBAMA is the best candidate (maybe even crazy Ron). Yes, racism exists and is the ONLY reason this 1/2 American was elected. Had he been white, with the same level of no experience or production in any meaningful capacity in life, there is no way he would have been elected. Admit it now liberal, if the same conditions existed and the real president was white and had an "R" next to his name, you'd be spewing your liberal crap all over. You want America to turn out like Greece? Probably don't even know it was liberal socialism that sucked them down the sewer. But you were too busy watching american idol and dancing with stars to grasp anything other than what the MSM tells you to repeat.

The 360° micro sprayers with brown nozzle are available with 13" stake, 24" micro tubing and 1/4" barb. The micro sprayers have a flow rate of 42 GPH @ 30 PSI with spray pattern of 12' diameter. The 360° micro sprayer assembly is designed for applications including seedlings, rooting, flowerbeds and for greenhouse use. The micro sprayers produce fine droplets and are available with a number of flow rate options.

The Drip Store has a wide range of micro sprayers and jets to meet all of today's requirements for micro irrigation needs. The no moving parts micro sprayers can be used for a wide range of applications and are available in 360° patterns, used for small diameter and for watering that requires fine droplets size with low precipitation rates. When low volume overhead irrigation is desired for an area where drip emitters are not practical and micro sprinkler diameters and moving parts are not required nor preferred, the micro sprayers or jets may be what are needed. Like micro sprinklers, micro sprayers and jets are available in a wide variety of styles, flow rates, diameters, and configurations. Like micro sprinklers, they operate at low pressure and require a filter to protect the small orifice of the sprayer from clogging. The main advantage of micro sprayers to some users and growers could be the lack of moving parts and the small to medium sized droplets and coverage.
To install the micro sprayer use the complete assembly with spike, micro tubing and barb.
To install the micro sprayer, first select the flow rate if available, then the pattern. If using the complete assembly micro sprayerwith the spike and the micro tubing, first insert the spike into the ground about 2-4", then punch a hole into the side of the drip tubing using a punch, and then insert the barb on the micro tubing into the drip tubing.

text: UPDATED 07:12 17th July 2012 David Edwards joined Wolves from Luton in the January 2008 transfer window for an undisclosed fee. He signed a two and a half year contract and made his debut at Scunthorpe. He could not have hoped for a better start, scoring for his new club after just five minutes in the 2-0 win. The midfielder started his career at Shrewsbury Town where he made over 100 appearances before moving to Kenilworth Road in the summer of 2007. After a good initial impact Edwards was also a key figure during the promotion-winning 2008/09 campaign, featuring in 44 of the 46 league fixtures and scoring three goals. That helped secure a new three-year contract in the summer of 2009. Edwards has been capped at senior level for Wales, where he has also found the net on several occasions. He emerged as a key figure during the first half of the 2009/10 Premier League campaign, holding down a regular place in midfield and scoring his first top flight goal against Fulham before unfortunately picking up an ankle injury in the victory at Tottenham. The injury required surgery, but Edwards returned to fitness and when skipper Karl Henry was suspended late in the season got the nod to replace him. Edwards was also an unfortunate victim of injury during the 2010/11 season, but impressed when fit, including the highlight of scoring the winner as Wolves beat Manchester City at Molineux.

NXTLog Building Challenge #2: Quadruped
You can read the announcement here.
8 comments:
- David said...
these NXTlog competitions suck... they could just send you a HiTechnic sensor as a reward for the best robot... what's the big deal of it being highlighted?
- Jun 2, 2007, 8:43:00 PM
- Brian Davis said...
Actually, for a large number of us, that "15 minutes of fame" might be a very tempting reward. Physically I've won very little, but in terms of "bragging rights" I've done well in a number of contests. And a lot of folks on NXTlog think that way as well (look at the number who request comments, which is really just a way of saying "please tell me you are looking at this").
As to physical rewards like sensors, I asked this once. NXTlog does *not* have your address, or even your real name, and doesn't want it - while it tries to foster some community, in an on-line environment for kids, you don't want any way somebody can crack the system and search out someones address. So, that's not in there. So sending physical prizes is out.
There are contests, real-world and on-line, that you can enter and get "stuff". And there are contests sponsored by the center of the LEGO universe, where if you win they will put you front and center on an "official" web page. As an MDP who has a "meet the MDP" webpage all his own (even if very few folks look at it), I can confirm that the second can be a powerful motivator.

First off... adjust your attitude a little. Sorry to be blunt, but it seems lately everyone wants something given to them... Brian's correct in that "bragging rights" should be enough. You're not curing cancer, David... you're building a toy robot show off your building and programming skills. If simply being picked as the best submission for the challenge isn't enough for you, then don't participate.
But I tell you what - here's a challenge JUST for you: Build and program a robot that wins this challenge and then you'll have some credibility to ask for a reward...
Again, sorry to be so rude, but your comment was rude to those who take the time to create, update, and moderate the NXTLOG community site.

At NXTasy.org I host building challenges (2nd challenge just ended, 3rd challenge is starting in few days) which do give rewards, sponsored by 3rd party companies. From my personal experience, dealing with these competitions, inventing rules, answering questions and dealing with submissions is VERY time consuming. The LEGO official NXTLog has more legal restraints then community sites like NXTasy, so I'm not very surprised they offer no prizes.

Jim, maybe you could sell NXTASY a banner ad on NXTSTEP!!!!! LOL!!!

Guy or anyone else over at NXTasy is welcome to comment on NXTStep. In fact we at NXTStep frequently point readers to their site.

And likewise many of us are regular contributors (even in my case also a moderator) over on NXTasy. Perhaps this would be a problem if we were all making a bundle of money... but if you are growing a community, contributing to it at every avalible outlet seems a much better tactic :-).

Paddle board yoga resets reporter's mindsetBy Bryanna Allen
STAFF WRITER | August 18,2014Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
People take part in Stand Up Paddle Board yoga class on the Woodward Reservoir in Plymouth on Friday.I am a yogi. Or at least part yogi. And having spent an evening several weeks ago on a friends stand up paddle board I was excited for the class that combined the two.
Until I got locked out of my apartment. And dropped my phone in my oatmeal. And it started raining. The combination of negative variables had me dreading an evening working on my day off.
Dressed in an old lifeguard bathing suit, a long sleeved running shirt and hot pink spandex, my mood was instantly brightened when I carried the surprisingly light board into the surprisingly warm water.
My German friend Richard joined me for the class, having never tried yoga or SUP before, he tentatively followed close behind as we scrambled onto our boards. The class started with an introduction and an overview of basic paddling skills. The teacher, Karen Dalury, explained how to turn, stop and pull ourselves along efficiently with our paddles.
Although I was dutifully listening, learning and practicing, I couldnt help but feel distracted by the simplicity of my surroundings. The water was warm, dark and calm, despite the light drizzle of rain and September-like crispness in the air. The trees on the shore were already showing hints of autumn. The air smelled fresh. Everyone was dressed in bright colors, a contrast to the backdrop of the water.
A day that had steadily gotten more stressful as the hours passed had suddenly become glorious, and I felt giddy with childish enthusiasm.
Yet I channeled my own inner quiet and focused on the class.
Moving from crow to downward dog required serious concentration every muscle in my body was awake and aware. The slightest movement caused my board to tremble.
The rain drenched my hair and made my toes squeak against the board whenever I moved, but I was warm, sweating, even. I kept looking at Richard, who, as a German police officer, is more focused on being buff than being balanced. Yet somehow he managed to stay on the board the entire time, despite multiple near-capsizing moments.
The beauty of the water and balance of the poses made me feel mentally and physically strong. I was tuned in to my breathing and body. Karen kept the mood centered yet relaxed, open to questions, modifications and a little bit of play.
The highlight of the class was when I was successfully able to complete the wheel pose. Think bending backward all the way down until your hands and feet support you, your body arched like a bow, your belly toward the sky and your hair dangling into the board. Its like crab-walking to the extreme.
I got in that pose, looked at the world from an upside-down on-a-paddle-board perspective and laughed.
Getting out of the pose was harder. Good thing the water was warm.

I knew most of these, but then I am an aficionado of dumblaws.com - I even used the website in a cover RE lesson with 10/11 year olds on the subject of religious laws/rules, to illustrate that some laws/rules over time lose their meaning and usefulness and are just adhered to because of tradition.
I used the taxi driver/bale of hay one among others. I asked them why they thought that law was in place, and once I reminded them that in the days before cars, taxis were horse-drawn carriages, it clicked.

I'm sure you all probably don't know about this and probably couldn't care less, but today Japan won the World Baseball Classic, again.
It's the only international competition to include major league players. The first competition was 3 years ago, which Japan won, and today the second competition finished (in the US), which Japan also won.
The US fielded a strong team (Jeeter etc) but Japan knocked them out in the semi and beat South Korea in the final.
So from now the "World Series" is no longer the name of the US Baseball final series, but is now the name given to the Japan final Series.
It's equivalent to England winning the rugby World Cup.
As baseball is the national sport of Japan (bet you didn't know that) and the best non-drug-taking Major League players are all Japanese it's massive news over here.
(Big World Cup footy game next week when Japan play Oz)
Here ends the Japanese sports blog.

No! It was not. Try again sir.My opinions are my own. This is obviously a touchy subject to you. I have watched all his fights and I can assure you that these are original opinions of mine. GSP does blanket. He'll go on top and look active according to the rules the way Clay Guida tries to look active on the feet. He doesnt have intentions of finishing his fights out of fear of overcommiting and getting caught in a submission or a ko. So instead, he'll lay his head on his opponents chest and lift it up every now and then so the ref wont stand him and his opponent up. Like it or not, GSP is a boring fighter. The best thing to happen to him lately was fighting Condit (which I can argue is actually persuading your opinion), as Condit is never in a boring fight. My problem with GSP is that I can see he thinks too much in the cage. He was taught to fight rather than developing natural instincts like the bj penns and wanderlei silvas. I choose not to pay for his fights and instead watch it via live stream as my way of not supporting his fighting style. To me, GSP is the Tim Duncan of the NBA. He is so technical, that it comes off as boring. However, Just because I think its boring, doesnt mean I dont appreciate it. He does what he has to to not lose.
Was this post original enough for you? Or did I rely on hearsay and jokers to formulate my thoughts again.... ?

Comments, questions and tips
Made this last night and family reported back that they loved it and would eat it anytime. So easy just to have everything in the pot. I didn't have spring greens so threw in some mange tout with the peas and broccoli and it worked perfectly. Also added a carrot and worked well :-) My son normally hates pesto with a passion but I didn't tell him there was any pesto in this and he just said it was delicious. Happy days...
I made this for dinner for my brother and I - it was so easy and quick to make, and made for a very hearty dinner on a wet Autumn day! I used a Knorr stock pot as the base - it added lots of flavour to the dish! I left out the spring greens and broccoli as I didn't have any at home and it worked out perfectly all the same! I'd highly recommend this dish to anyone looking for a healthy and quick weekday meal! I can tell it's going to become a favourite with us! :)
This was so bland, I was really disappointed after reading the comments. Couldn't taste the pesto, I used a huge stock pot and not sure how all the greens are supposed to cook in such a small amount of stock. I didn't use low salt stock and I still had to add more to try and make it taste of something.
Love this recipe - completely simple, tasty and healthy. It is even better as leftovers.
I serve it in a bowl with warmed and crispy bread...a real family favourite and I will turn to every time.
I use my own homemade pesto however, as I find shop bought pesto and the stock together make it far too salty for my tastes.
I really enjoyed the flavours in this dish, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was trying to be! Is it a stew, a soup, a broth? Who knows!
I followed the recipe (and then split the mixture into two at the point where you can freeze the dish as it's just the two of us) but I added two tablespoons of half fat creme fraiche along with the pesto after reading comments on here. After trying the dish as is, I decided to turn the remainder into soup! Much better.
I tried with cabbage, broccoli and endive - forgot the pesto! But still v tasty. Took advice from others' comments and put it in the oven on a low heat (150) until hubby comes home (yes, I know, but it's true!). He really appreciated the greens. Tonight doing again with the exact greens listed above (inc pesto!) but adding pasta instead of spuds. Can't wait!
I didn't use the pesto but added a tablespoon of Philadelphia cream cheese with chives. My husband loved it, I thought it was OK. You need a really really big pan to fit all that veg in, I used a casserole that should be OK for 4 and had to wait for the greens to wilt before I could add the broccoli.

Stella three seat sofa in Cookie 259 263
Great looking piece of furniture We ordered the Stella sofa in Cookie together with the armchair. Both are very generous in size. The armchair is big enough for two small people or one person and a dog! Fantastic service and the delivery chaps were a delight and helped with unpacking and taking away all the wrapping etc. 10 March 2014
We are delighted!! Sofa.com have been efficient from start to finish... we have been kept fully informed on delivery dates and times... the settees and chair were well protected for transit...the delivery men unpacked, took all the wrapping and made sure that we were happy before they left us. 5* service!! 05 February 2015
We have recently ordered 3 x Carrick sofas and 2 x Stella sofas. they are all VERY comfortable and we are very pleased with them. Sofa.com personel have been thoroughly efficient snd great to deal with. 05 February 2015
Very Happy, Very Comfy Overall a fantastic experience, from ordering online to a visit to the showroom, all staff very attentive and totally committed to finding you your perfect sofa, no hiccups whatsoever, delivery booked, all arrangements made online, on time, no fuss, and placed insitu all packing materials removed 09 December 2014
Excellent from start to finish From the sales showroom to delivery the service has been excellent, and the sofa is great, looks good and is very comfortable. 02 December 2014
Excellent quality and service I have been very impressed with the service and quality of my sofa. A smooth process from placing of order to its arrival. As I live in a loft flat I was particularly impressed by how the product could be finally assembled in my flat, giving me greater options. Very comfy to both sit on and sleep, would definitely recommend and purchase again 29 October 2014
Really good shopping experience, and profession service Would definitely recommend to others, and we bought from sofa.com as had been highly recommended by friends 26 September 2014
so comfortable! I have turned into a couch potato. This sofa is great and finally gives us enough space for guests to sit down when they come over. 17 September 2014
Excellent - without fault The whole process was very straight forward and without fault 28 August 2014
so glad i waited until i could afford the real mccoy i think i looked at every corner sofa available in the world before i settled for sofa.com, and yes, there are loads of cheaper ones available but something told me that this was the only one for us, so we spent a further couple of months sitting on the floor until we could afford it and don't regret the decision for a moment. everything about dealing with sofa.com has been hassle free and the only problem now is persuading anyone to get up off it and do anything :) 10 August 2014
Fabulous customer service made a great sofa exceptional. We enjoyed the whole buying experience with you. We went to your Chelsea showroom, kids sat down with juice and a biscuit in from of the tv , husband went off to play pac man and I got to browse in peace :) We came home and ordered on line once we were brave enough to pick the pink fabric for the sofa we wanted, husbands choice not mine. Your customer service was astounding, and made everything very easy. The delivery guys were bang on time 7am! They were very polite and put it together in no time and cleared up after themselves. I would seriously recommend you. We have a massive pink sofa and everyone is happy! 12 June 2014
Goes really well with Emily sofas Helps you put your feet up! What's not to like? Looks great in the fabric and goes with our Emily sofas really well. Easy to move around too. 13 May 2014
It's GINORMOUS! We now have the Stella Large Corner sofa in Herringbone with an additional large bit to make it super-super enormous! We LOVE it and it looks absolutely fantastic. I have marked comfiness as good rather than excellent at the moment as the cushions are a bit firm - although I suspect over time they will soften. The back cushions probably could be a little higher for comfort's sake but all in all I am very happy :-) Very good delivery, ahead of schedule, which was a bonus and the delivery guys were bang on time 16 April 2014
A perfect addition to my workroom The entire experience of buying this sofa bed was quite uplifting: the speed at which I received requested fabric samples, the highly enjoyable visit to the showroom in Chelsea, the personalised phone call following placing the order online, and then the delivery. Spot on time, not only the date, but it arrived at exactly 9.30am as promised. Placement was quick and efficient. So far I havent used it as a bed, but as a sofa its great and I look forward to putting up guests in May, at which point I can report on the comfiness of the bed. I adore the natural flax - it goes well in my workroom and will look stunning once my plantation shutters arrive. I am a little worried about how the arms will weather with two cats , so plan to include the fabric samples in patchwork arm protectors. I also really enjoy the tone of sofa.com's communications! 09 April 2014
Good looking and comfy Very pleased with the speedy service and quality of the sofa bed. Thank you. 31 March 2014
Overall we are very happy with the sofa bed and impressed by the service of the company! This is the second time we have ordered from sofa.com and we were just as impressed second time round with the fabulous service and personal touches of the company and this was from the moment of ordering until the delivery was complete. We are very happy with our new sofa bed, love the quality of leather and smart modern look of it. It certainly works extremely well in our family T.V. room and has the bonus of being a great extra bed for when we have visitors. 19 March 2014
Love it! The whole experience was different to any other sofa shop. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone we dealt with was good. My one critisism was that when the final payment was due we were abroad - we emailed to advise of this and said we'd call as soon as we landed to pay the balance. Got a reply to say yes fine but continued to get A LOT of calls chasing the money. Felt a bit like perhaps some staff didn't know what had been discussed/arranged with another member. Apart from that all very good. 05 March 2014
I am suspicious of the way you price the sofa together with matching footstool The footstool is more than 25% of the sofa price at £450 with an additional £75 for delivery. That made no sense to me so I will do without your stool. Also, you advertised a large part of your products including my sofa as available on two weeks delivery. I was surprised to learn that it was to be four to six weeks and only after my strong protest was it restored to two weeks. I didn't like that. The footstool was not included in the two weeks delivery so I would have been stuck with the extra carriage. I didn't like that either. We are going instead to re-cover two existing stools. It would be helpful if you could supply the matching material. 05 March 2014
Great Experience Very happy with this product. The ordering process was smooth, the advisors were courteous and friendly. The delivery was on time, and the guys were helpful and quickly installed the sofa, even though getting it in was a challenge. And, finally, the sofa is great,well made, comfy and looks perfect in my small flat. 27 January 2014
Love my new sofa! Having had a previous order from another company delivered incorrectly and suffered for weeks with their awful customer service it was a breath of fresh air to deal with Sofa.com. My sofa arrived quickly and exactly as ordered, the delivery team were excellent setting it up and removing all packaging as well as showing me how I could dismantle in future if I needed to move. Would absolutely recommend! The only pain has been that they just sent me a 5% discount offer by email, too late! 16 January 2014
Fabulous customer friendly service that actually delivers what is promised! Amazing showroom where you really get to try out the sofas before you order. Hundreds of fabric choices and samples to take home. Interiors/colours advice when you need it, knowledgable advice on what sort of sofa may suit your needs. Prompt delivery with 2hour slot and a phone call when the drivers are about to arrive. Helpful delivery man who patiently waited whilst I dismantled my balustrade to get the sofa up the stairs! 09 January 2014
10/10! What can I say? Super impressed with the whole service - great showroom with the time and space to choose and super coffee to boot! Delivery of sofas was offered earlier than originally promised (squeezed in before Christmas) which was brilliant. Delivery team were efficient and prompt. So far, the sofas are super comfy and seem to magically plump their own cushions as they look immaculate all the time. Long may that continue. Good job sofa.com - we will be back 09 January 2014
a wonderful Company from start to finish... I ordered on Line and had the sofa delivered to G REECE,pretty nervewracking I am sure you will agree.. However ,I found the website informative while both informal and friendly,and when I was unable to call the UK Number to confirm something they immediately called me here, (Ispoke to a lovely girl called Olivia who gave me great confidence in my choice..) My sister said the delivery men were very good (and it was a nice touch to be given their names before they arrived) When the SOFA arrived we had a slight hiccup in assembly, an e mail sent to the team (as the help phone Number is inaccessible from GREECE) was answerd within half an hour with simple istructions Finally, the SOFA is fab,so comfy,the colour is beautiful, and all my friends are jealous!! It was a big and quite costly decision to have something this big shipped over but I am absolutely delighted with my choice.. SOFA.COM ,in my opinion are a brilliant company to deal with and I have no hesitation in recommending them and their products.. Thank you once again to the team 12 December 2013
Super lovely armchair - wish I had ordered 2 now Lovely quality soft leather - looks and feels so comfortable and soft and really exudes quality - goes well with my cream sofa - wish I had ordered 2 armchairs now to have instead of one small sofa!! Excellent service and follow through delivered to Mallorca, Spain - no problems used my own transport service - went very seamlessly. Thanks Sofa.com will definitely use you again and recommend you to friends and family. 12 December 2013
Fantastic helpful staff throughout the process - Great Sofa From the moment I walked into the show room to the delivery everything was on point... I knew what I was after so that made it easier. They didn't have any leather sofas on display at the time but I hear they do now... .I wasn't preturbed... They had the leather fabic so I could see exactly what I was getting, so I tried the fabic one out and thought that it would be even better in leather... I was right.. The stafff were great / friendly and kept me informed all the way through.. The Sofa is fab - I would have no qualms in recommending Sofa.com to anyone...... You will not be disappointed. 09 December 2013
We LOVE our new sofa.. ...and have started cancelling social engagements so that we can stay in and lie on it.. ;) The quality is excellent and so was the service throughout. We're very happy and would definitely recommend sofa.com 08 December 2013
So glad I found you! Needed a sofa bed for a small studio pied-à-terre with a restricted entrance so searched the web and found sofa.com. As we were unable to visit the showroom we took a deep breath and ordered online - we were NOT disappointed. We haven't had a chance to sleep on the bed yet (hence 4* for comfort) but it looks fantastic in situ and the delivery guys were just amazing. They were on time and my husband was so impressed with the way they delivered each bit and then constructed the sofa bed in front of his eyes - AND took away the packaging. If we ever need another sofa we will be coming to you. Thank you. 14 November 2013
Love love my new sofa! Only thing I would say is I wonder if have chosen the right fabric as I have a feeling it may mark easily but it looks gorgeous and is super comfy. Service was fab. 12 November 2013
Not opened yet! My new build home has been delayed until mid November so the two sofas are still intact in your original packaging and in storage until then. I have marked service and delivery as 5star becuase my experience with both of these has been outstanding. The 5 star rating on the other 3 elements are my expectation ratings. So far however I must add that you have "WOWED" me with your service so I don't expect your sofa's to disappoint. I have sourced and bought a lot of furniture for my new home and your company has offered unrivaled service every step of the way (up to and including this email!) As soon as I get to open the packaging and try my new sofa's I will be sure to get back in touch with feedback. 01 October 2013
Great product, well made, lovely colour & fabric Very happy with the service, professionalism and care. 15 September 2013
