Leahs Fancy Pesto Encrusted Stuffed Chicken BreastFrom divaliscious 10 years ago
- One large breast of chicken with the bone still in per two people. Split chicken breast into two pieces. shopping list
- 2 cups cubed corn bread (preferably homemade) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons each fresh herbs: parsley, rosemary, mint shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic - minced shopping list
- 1-2 tablespoons melted butter shopping list
- 2 tablespoons orange juice shopping list
- 1 onion - cut into chunks shopping list
- 2-4 potatoes with skins, washed and cut up into 2 inch size chunks shopping list
- other vegetables that are good to roast: fennel, carrots, etc. cut up (optional) shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- 3-4 toothpicks for each chicken breasts shopping list
- Preheated oven 350 degrees shopping list
- 3-4 tablespoons or more of basil pesto (homemade preferred) shopping list
- deep heavy skillet or roasting pan shopping list
- I had made corn bread that didn't get all eaten up, so I had cut it into large cubes, and let it air dry for a day, then threw it into the freezer for future use as corn bread stuffing. shopping list
- I happen to also have made pesto the other night and thought this would be a nice twist to simple oven roasted chicken breasts. shopping list
- I am also saving money by buying chicken whole, and cutting it up myself - this amazing meal for two cost me a total of $5.00 if that when all ingredients tallied up - we got a huge kick out of that, since taste was not denied by us in any way! shopping list
How to make it
- In small bowl, add orange juice to corn bread cubes, then melted butter and 1/3 of the minced fresh herbs and all of the minced garlic. Stir to combine and set aside for a moment.
- Rinse well and pat dry large chicken breasts.
- With knife, create pocket for stuffing with each chicken breast. If you have the chicken breast in front of you, start cutting from the higher end of the chicken breast down to the lower end - in other words, start pocket where the meat is deepest, you want to create the pocket as close to the bone as possible.
- Drizzle a little olive oil into your roasting pan.
- In another bowl, add vegetables and onions, add remaining minced herbs, salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil. Stir with hands to coat each cut veggie with the herbs, S&P and olive oil.
- Place stuffing into pockets and with toothpicks close up pockets, using skin of chicken to help pinch close the openings.
- Put chicken breasts skin side up into roasting pan.
- Add vegetables around chicken breasts.
- Spread a tablespoon of basil pesto on the tops of the chicken breasts.
- Then place into oven and go about your business.
- Roasting time should be anywhere from 45-70 minutes depending upon the size of your chicken breasts. To ensure they are done, you can fork them to make sure the juices run clear.
- The pesto adds extra flavor and becomes crusty and crunchy once out of the oven. Let chicken breasts rest for 5-8 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

When I made my first pair of lady boxers last week, I had some scraps of that beautiful floral print cotton voile left over that looked like I might just be able to squeeze a matching pyjama top out of. Emphasis on the squeeze. You'll recall that I didn't want to buy a pattern for a pyjama set because I'm fussy and I'm tight, yes; but also because I already have so many beautiful patterns in my stash that I haven't managed to sew up yet.
I like to have a little coverage on my shoulders when I sleep, or else I often wake up with a stiff, frozen shoulder (yet another reason why the various summer pyjama patterns available aren't right for me - they tend to come with strappy camisoles). So I flicked through my pattern library and chose the 'R' ruffle top from Clothing for Everyday Wear to complete my summer pyjama set.
To trim the top, I used gorgeous dusty rose coloured cotton sateen from my stash, and the remaining piece of vintage turquoise bias binding from the shorts. After pinning it on the neckline, I only had 1cm left - talk about cutting it close!
For the armholes, I made bias binding from the cotton sateen for underneath the ruffles. I decided to go for the same colour so that the ruffles here looked more subtle, and read more as texture than too much additional decoration. I didn't have enough of the floral voile to cut the whole back, so I made it empire line instead with my contrast fabric.
I really like how the excess girlyness of all those pink ruffles tones down the sporty vibe created by the bias-bound shorts. And vice-versa. It's like 1960s frou-frou hitting 1970s track shorts!
The buttons of course were from my stash, and I had lots to choose from. I was surprised by quite how many sets of buttons I had in rose pink, turquoise and white! I guess my colour choices tend to be pretty predictable. I picked very elegant clear plastic droplets in the end, wanting to avoid anything too clownish and bold. The top is cutesy enough as it is!
Technically, I was surprised by how long it took me to sew this top. I'm not normally one for decoration: I wear very minimal jewellery, and normally forget to accessorise outfits. I choose fabric with loud patterns over having to create textile effects; at the most, I might sew in some lace. Bias binding is a favourite as it adds visual interest in a place where you'd have to sew a hem anyway. So going to the effort of cutting and applying bias ruffle strips isn't something that I normally do. I think that the result is super-cute so it was worth it!
Pattern-wise, I lowered the front neckline by 1cm and the back neckline by 1.5cm, tapering the curve up at the shoulders. In the future, I would also take in the armhole by 1cm so that the top doesn't emphasise my shoulders quite so much! I cut a size S even though my measurements fall between S and M in the book. The patterns are cut quite boxy, which I personally don't think is very flattering if you don't have the waif-like figures of the models in the book! It's lovely and loose for a PJ top, and would look great in viscose or anything with drape. Voile is the heaviest plain-weave fabric that I think should be used for this pattern.
I had to use a surprisingly large array of threads on this project, and kept changing between reels on my machine. These were from my stash (more stash busting points, hurray!) and I managed to use up two of the reels above. Slowly getting closer to my aim of being able to close the lid on my tin of threads…
Project details:
Impossibly Pretty Pyjamas
Tank pattern: 'R' from Stylish Dress Book: Clothing for Everyday Wear by Yoshiko Tsukiori
Shorts pattern: self-drafted lady boxers
Fabric: stash-busting cotton voile from Clothhouse circa 2009. Cotton sateen and vintage bias binding from my stash via unknown sources.
Haberdashery: Vintage buttons from Accessories of Old.
Cost: £4 for the card of vintage buttons I used, everything else is stash-busted from hoarding and scraps
Final words…
I haven't been blogging properly for a very long time (we're talking years, people) and I completely forgot how hard it can be to pose for, and take, good blog photos! On the plus side, it seriously forces you to tidy up your home!! Here's an out take from my living room where I don't look so hot, but the sofa cushions look GREAT!
Happy Monday, people!

Topshop x Emma Cook sweater, Uniqlo coat, Zara blouse, J Brand jeans, Balenciaga bag, Converse sneakers
I bring to you one of my favorite coat looks! This awesome coat I'm wearing here was on sale at Uniqlo during my trip in New York. I just LOVE this menswear-inspired silhouette -- it's oversized and super lightweight! It's a great coat to throw on when you're bored of your annual parka or peacoat.
Oh, and another thing about me: I am definitely a sneakers type of girl when it comes to comfortable shoes. I repeatedly buy and wear my Converse sneakers until they wear out. Some of my shoes are definitely NOT made for walking, so I often pack a backup pair of Converse sneakers with me, in my car or in my bag. I love how it adds some spunk into my outfits. :)

Advice network pi financial has launched a centralised telephone advice service for up to 70,000 orphan clients.
The network, which has 107 advisers and 14,000 active clients, says it has 70,000 clients without an ongoing service agreement with their adviser.
It says these clients have been orphaned as a result of the RDR and the impact of the sunset clause, which bans all legacy payments between fund managers and platforms from April 2016.
The network will offer these clients a telephone and online advice service for an ongoing charge of 0.30 per cent.
The service will be staffed by a central team of four advisers initially.
Pi financial has appointed Momentum Global Investment Management to provide an investment solution for these clients, with platform and administration services provided by Novia.
Momentum will offer three models – cautious, balanced and dynamic – at a total cost of 1 per cent per year, including advice costs.
Pi financial managing director Tim Sutcliffe says: "My concern was whether the customers who have been caught by the unintended consequences of the RDR and sunset clause were being as well looked after as I would like.
"We can look after their basic financial planning needs over the phone, such as making sure they are using their full Isa allowance. If their circumstances change and they require a face-to-face meeting, we can pass them back to their original adviser.
"We feel we have a moral obligation to clients we have engaged with in the past."
Sutcliffe says he expects the majority of the 70,000 potential clients to use the service. He adds that pi is keen to engage with other advice firms who may wish to refer clients to the service.

Archive 1 is the first digital release for More Than Human, which is good news for young fogies who don't own a turntable (I'll never get rid of mine; without it I couldn't hear This Is Chaquito and the Quedo Brass! and my life would be meaningless). It's cheap too, just $5 (whatever that is in proper money). A short comp, but it's quality not quantity that counts (think on that next time you're scanning your MP3 library - I do frequently - delete! delete! My aim is to reduce it to The Essential 1,000,000, so wish me luck). Time Attendant, Kemper Norton, Dieter Moebius, the gang's all here. The Passenger's Negative Object is great too. Time Attendant's Cloud Dowsing demonstrates why you should have all his releases. Just get it.
Not more Ekoplekz...christ, the man's unstoppable. Thankfully he isn't being prolific for the sake of media saturation - he really does have great music oozing from every pore, he just can't stop twiddling those knobs (nudge-nudge). Ariwakz is one of the best tunes, with a nod to the reggae label, Arawak, in both title and dub-wise mood (even the tempo is relatively conventional for him, but here that's no bad thing). Zone Stikz also captures an old reggae mood with a wonderful recreation of the classic organ sound on Upsetter records, slowed right down, blissed out as electro (versions galore).

As I delve more into my own personal health journey, I am realizing how much it ISN'T about food.
I've got this stuff down.
Knowledge of what to eat – check.
Knowledge of what not to eat – check.
All about nutrients, phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals – check.
What diet feels best on my body – check.
But what will it take to tackle the other stuff?
The emotional connection.
The unresolved feelings in my past.
The feeling that my body is never what I want it to be.
I am working through Lissa Rankin's questions related to her amazing book Mind Over Medicine and this one really struck me the other day:
What within me am I holding back? What longs to be set free?
What will it take for you?

I had a restless night. I don't remember my dreams from last night but I remember there were many and that I had to wake myself up to stop the feeling of urgency bordering on panic. Those kinds of dreams always leave me with a bit of a dull headache and that's not a nice way to start the day.
As I sat down to read today's paper I heard birds chirping, lots of them and like my dreams, there was a sense of urgency to them. I got up to look out the window and saw a bunch of robins chasing off a very large raven. Last week I took some terrific pictures of three baby robins that were in a nest sitting on the drainage pipe under the eaves so when I saw them chasing I knew they were protecting their babies. I looked around for something to throw at the raven if it came near again and in the time it took me to do that the raven had knocked the nest off the drainage pipe and was flying away with one of the chicks in it's beak, with three or four robins giving chase. I felt sick.
I wondered why mother nature had to be so cruel. My headache got worse.
One of the pleasures of being retired is being able to have a leisurely start to my day. I often get up and putter around the house tidying etc and then have a hot drink while I read the paper. I love reading the morning paper, it feels like a luxury. I can skim the negative headlines and settle into the stories that really interest me. Today's paper seems to be full of horrible stories. Now, to be perfectly honest, most days there are lots of those stories and I am able to just skim the headline and breeze on by them. Today though they bothered me, even the headlines. It just seems like that kind of day.
I have no plans for today other than to vote, clean under the sink and organize an upstairs room. Today is a day I am wishing I had to go to work. I am wishing for the noisy chatter of the kids and the million and one things that always needed attention. Today I am not enjoying the quiet that I have learned to love. Today is a good day to remember that the sunshine is always brighter after a few grey days.
The clouds are breaking a little so perhaps it's time to get on my bike so I can turn my attention to my sore butt and burning legs. A little distraction is what I need.

FORT SILL, Okla., (Feb. 2, 2016) — Anybody who's been through basic combat training might have a certain image of drill sergeants.
In your face.
God-like in their abilities and authority.
But if you're a middle school student at Tomlinson Middle School in Lawton, you might see them as inspirational role models. Tough folks who expect you to "be the best you can be." Men and women who were once just like you: unsure of yourself, pressured by their peers, afraid to fail.
Now these Soldiers are towering over you, yelling, as you lay on the gym floor with your classmates. Maybe not real drill sergeant-style yelling. But giving orders nonetheless.
One, two, three, four. You're pushing your body off the cold floor, and back down again, and your arms are wobbling like legs of a newborn calf. Your goal: to win the Presidential Youth Fitness Award.
This partnership of Fort Sill Soldiers and the middle school is one of Maj. Gen. John Rossi's initiatives, to involve his troops in local schools. Rossi, Fires Center of Excellence and Fort Sill commanding general, with help from the school liaison office on post, meetings with the school principal Edward Williams, and input from the coaches, created the program.
Upon learning that his battalion would partner with Tomlinson Middle School, Lt. Col. Mark Anders, commanding officer, 1st Battalion, 79th Field Artillery, said that he had a pool of 50 drill sergeants ready to help immediately. He met with Williams and they came up with some ideas.
"I still have a certificate from when I completed the Presidential Youth Fitness Program as a middle school student," Anders said. "I thought, maybe we could get this school enrolled [in the program] and see how many kids we could help to pass the test."
The school had not participated in the Presidential Youth Fitness Program and the gym teachers were enthusiastic about the idea. On Fridays, two male and two female drill sergeants donned their physical training uniforms and navigated the emotional maze of adolescent motivations.
"Rather than coming on too strong and scaring kids away from what we were trying to accomplish," Anders said. "We found ways to motivate and push the students without hurting bodies or too many feelings."
The drill sergeants instructed the students on the physical readiness training, or PRT, modules and slowly increased the intensity over the semester. The skills trained in each of the PRT modules fit with the fitness test used by the Presidential Youth Fitness Program and prepared students for testing in December.
Getting funding was another challenge. There was no time to apply for grants, and the school year was already under way with its budget set in place. Fortunately, the child, youth and school services, or CYSS, program on Fort Sill had funds through a community outreach program, and $1,600 was spent on equipment and awards in support of the effort.
Jay Hunt, Fort Sill Youth Sports and Fitness director, said most of the money went to purchase medals for all of the participants able to pass the test. At $3 apiece, that was a huge chunk of change. CYSS also purchased certificates, score pads, stopwatches, skin fold calipers to test body mass, a floor scale, a flexibility box, and a wall chart listing fitness standards by age.
In that around 100 of the school's students are Fort Sill Family members, the investment made even more sense.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to get kids away from TV and video games for awhile," Hunt said.
Jeremy LaPierre, physical education teacher and coach, described some of the challenges and fitness indicators of the program. "Each student must pass five of the eight categories in order to be presidentially fit," he said of the top level of achievement. There is also a target of "nationally fit," and "standard fit," which he said most students fall into.
"They have to do a certain number of pushups, sit-ups, chin-ups, run a mile under a certain amount of time, and complete a timed shuttle run," LaPierre said. There are also flexibility and body mass index standards as well. "We took this president's challenge very, very seriously. It was a huge undertaking."
LaPierre said it was a natural pairing of motivated Soldiers with students. "These Soldiers work out daily, and we thought who better to help us with physical education than people who do it constantly?"
It wasn't just the fitness aspect, but also the benefits the kids could get from interacting with adults. "We want kids to have the ability to be around people who can guide them in a positive direction," LaPierre said. "Our kids see military people all the time in uniform. We want to bring them into school as positive role models. Soldiers understand teamwork, integrity and commitment to a goal, and they live by it."
LaPierre said the positive attitude has changed the way the students relate to each other. "They had the best attitude in class, they speak positively and are being polite to one another," he said of the added benefits. "The more positive people you put around kids, the more positive they become."
He said the drill sergeants lived up to expectations. "They didn't come in yelling and screaming. They were amazing," he said. They came in wearing their Army shorts and T-shirts. Only on test day did they wear their drill sergeant outfits. It was all about professionalism. We wanted the kids to see drill instructors as just like us, and to mingle with them. For many of the kids, it was the first time they entered a challenge of that magnitude."
LaPierre said students are already asking when they'll get to do the program again. "We have kids who are pleased with themselves because they did things they didn't know they could do."
At the end of the first semester, approximately 230 of the 330 students, who took the final fitness test passed. The program has rolled over into the second semester.
Anders said his unit plans to continue the program next year, and they will look for grants, sponsors, and a way to involve local businesses to acquire necessary funding.
"The great thing about this program is that we are able to get a huge return on a very small investment of time and resources," Anders said. "This is something many students will remember and carry forward into the future. Who knows, in 25 years maybe one of them will be a battalion commander trying to figure out what to do with his or her partnered school, and will reflect on the Presidential Youth Fitness Medal earned in middle school."

This tour showcases the vibrance of Rajasthan, India's cultural capital. The vivacious people of Jaipur, the deserts of Jaisalmer, the architectural beauty of Jodhpur and the calm lake city of Udaipur are just a few highlights that Rajasthan has to offer for the real travel connoisseur. The tour proposes an immersion in Indian culture and history with the visit of Delhi, the buzzing capital of India; and Agra, the old Indian capital containing the symbol of eternal love, the Taj Mahal. Guests will have the opportunity to visit the Brahma Temple, visited by pilgrims, holy men and sages after a ceremonial sacred bath in the Pushkar lake. Don't miss the Crystal gallery at the Fateh Prakash Palace Hotel and the Rickshaw ride in old Delhi. This classical program is truly a treat for the eyes as you drive through the myriad landscape of north India.
Meet and assistance on arrival and transfer to hotel. A morning visit to the 7th city of Delhi, Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi), built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan after he shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi. Then a visit to the 17th century imposing red fort, the Jama Masjid, made of red sandstone and white marble. It is India's largest mosque where more than 20,000 people can kneel in prayer. Next a visit to Raj Ghat on the banks of the river Yamuna, to see Mahatma Gandhi's memorial. In the afternoon there is a sightseeing tour of New Delhi. This tour includes a visit to the mausoleum of emperor Humayun, a drive past the India Gate (war memorial dedicated to the lives of laid down by the Indian soldiers), the president's residence - formerly the Viceroy's Palace, parliament House and the Secretariat buildings which are an interesting blend of Victorian and 20th century architecture.
Morning depart by motor coach for Mandawa on arrival check-in at hotel. The beautiful small town Mandawa, known throughout the state for its forts and havelis. Mandawa is situated in the north Indian state of Rajasthan around 190 km off Jaipur, the state capital. The compact and busy little market town of Mandawa was settled and fortified in the 18th century by the dominant merchant families of the region. The wealthy businessmen of the village constructed many havelis and baolis with coloured painting adorning their walls. Later on with the migration of the merchant families the old settlements remained in total obscurity with no one to look after them. Despite the neglect of the visual and architectural extravaganzas, their attraction did not fade and today they are the major attractions for the tourists visiting Rajasthan.
Breakfast at the hotel. Later drive by motor coach to Bikaner. On arrival in Bikaner check in at hotel. Afternoon sightseeing of Bikaner to see the imposing walls of the 16th century old palaces, temples and mosque. The tour will include a visit to see the two life-like effigies of elephants that flank the façade of the entrance to the fort and royal chapel in Har Mandir where royal weddings and births were once celebrated.
Breakfast at the hotel. Morning departure by coach for Jaisalmer with an en-route visit to the Deshnoke Temple. The 600 year old temple is dedicated to Karni Mata. It plays host to thousands of rats. The rats are considered sacred and worshipped. The temple displays huge intricate carved silver gates donated by Maharaja Ganga Singh. The tour then continues to Jaisalmer. On arrival check-in at the hotel. The Jaisalmer visit is across the hot barren desert and the magical city shimmers like a mirage. The golden sandstone town walls and narrow streets lined with exquisitely carved buildings, through which camel carts trudge leisurely, has an extraordinarily medieval feel.

It was reported here at GSM Arena one time about it being 70%, not half or 50%. Man, you should ease up on what topic you are commenting on. Where did you get that statistics? The articles are just telling us that Adobe is giving up on Flash. Apple or any other manufacturers of mobile phones are not perfect. Nothing man-made really is.
Hi, I am new user on touch phones and currently I am using a BB 8520. Can anybody assist me whether its good if I go for a iphone 4s
iphone is no doubt a good phone but what about the price.
The price is unevenly high. i accept the price should be high but not as much as apple is doing. also the price is not similar in all the countries. The iphone 4s price varies from country to country, location to location, not based on the forex but a black money marketing. The retailers have also started making their own money by selling it in black.
These types of news have been reported in all the Asian and European countries.
Apple has priced it in their own way at different countries.
since the iphone is focused on elite class people so the retailers have started selling it in black.
apple does not have any retail outlets or showrooms even in tier 1 cities in India.
Apple doesnot have any centralized place for price review for handsets for every country or city.
apple doesnot have any commercial ads with price.
where will a customer go and complaint about it, as they dont know the actual price in their country and the products are very limited as of every time.
apple doesnot claim any particular price in any country after the shipment, as the forex value changes every minute.
Finally apple doesnot have standard marketing and branding values that create social and cultural values for any corporate.
Apple is simply making products for better utility and selling them.
This is called the black marketing.
friends i need your assistance in this.
let everyone know this so as to make things okay within time.
lets not cheat anyone
The game Infinity Blade 2 is incredible, and two of my friends using Android were stunned by it, and admitted that the iPhone 4S is one powerful piece of kit. They said that they didn't realise the difference the OS could make, as they just compared using tech specs.

Update: It looks like we can strip the rumor tag from this one -- Adobe made it official. Flash for mobile is dead. Check out the full details at the Adobe Blog. RIP, mobile Flash. You will be missed.
To clarify, Flash isn't going to just disappear from the Market, and in fact Adobe will continue to provide security patches. However, since they won't adapt it to new browser, OS, and device configurations, there is a chance it will stop working at some point in the future or won't work at all on newer devices.

The area I live in is planning to hold its first ever Open Studios event on the 26th-27th September 2009. Its an event for South East Berkshire (or in other words, Bracknell, Ascot, Wokingham and more or less anywhere between but not in Reading and Windsor).
I hope to join in with my friends from my EquilARTeral textile group. Its a scary prospect but it could be really exciting too. We're waiting for more information from the organisers (the Independent Arts Forum) ... so in the meantime I'm busy trying to work on our group project 'Connected:disconnected', in the hope that I will have enough to show by September!


text: Articles and such for website Hey - if any of you guys want to write articles for the website, traditionfootball.com, feel free to post anything in on these message boards. For example, a game preview, game recap, recruiting, anything at all. I'll look it over and then post it on the website. Sometimes it will be on the front page, sometimes it will be under our League webpage. If you do an intensive game recap still post it on the scores thread. but if it doesn't have a thread yet, feel free to create one. recruiting still belongs in the recruiting thread though. just makes the website more enjoyable and visual. another cool thing would be videos from games, pictures, things like that. this is by no means a must for anyone, but it just makes the website and our league better.

Regional Farmers Market Report: London, England
[Our first international farmers market report! Want to submit a report from your corner of the world? Tell us what's in your market. Check out directions here.]
From Lesley in London: Islington Farmers Market, London, September 2007. Autumn is Apple Season. Perry Court Farm and Chegworth Valley at Islington Farmers Market are introducing city dwellers to the mellow fruitfulness of almost forgotten English apple varieties. The unfamiliar names are vaguely evocative of a more feudal and bucolic past and beg to be read out loud, "Blenheim Orange, Flanders Cox, Ashmeads Kernal and Egremont Russet", together with "Katy, Windsor and Lord Lambourne."
A new organic variety is also on display – the smooth, red skinned, crisp-fleshed and bracingly named, Initial.
The soft fruits widely available a couple of weeks ago are dwindling and plums are predominant. I buy tiny sloes from Kingcup Farm, which if I waste no time pricking with something silver, loading with sugar and topping up the bottle with gin will mean I have sloe gin in time for Christmas. I need only remember to shake it a little every day if it is to be ready to drink at the traditional time.
Maturity is also my choice of the day in the meat department, and I buy mutton chops from Beatbush Farm stall. I aim to griddle them with hot spices, though a hot pot would be seasonal…
It is clear, however, that two hours or so after the market has opened is way too late for the pick of the day. Next to the herb stall a sign promising freshly picked sweetcorn flanks empty red trays…

Why is astrology still hanging around in magazines, online and basically every space in a newspaper that couldn't get filled by a paying advertising company? The answer is YOU! There is a scary amount of people who still believe that the time, year and month they were born governs their very existence! Does anyone ever research what they whole- heartedly believe in? Especially when it comes to something that is supposedly running your life! Religion somehow seems to spring to mind but let's not piss everyone off today..
Pick up a book or even skim through some basic, low budget websites to discover exactly what you believe is actually just a bunch of superstitions created by humans over 4,000 years ago in their search for meaning in the skies. With the absence of science, people used what resources they had to make sense of their world; it's just remarkable as to how ruthlessly unrelenting information can be as it gets passed down the generations before it wanes out.
The actual foundations of astrology are based on the idea that Earth is located directly in the centre of the universe. Enough said but I'll go on, and not only that, I'll directly copy and paste a segment from one of those 'basic low budget' websites I was talking about.
Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the equinox and solstice points have each moved westward about 30 degrees in the last 2,000 years. Thus, zodiacal constellations named in ancient times no longer correspond to the segments of the zodiac represented by their signs. In short, had you been born at the same time on the same day of the year 2,000 years ago, you would have been born under a different sign.
In fact, there should be 13 signs, not 12.
Case closed..
It's unfortunate to see people not only waste their money on what is essentially only a relay of ancient human beliefs, (I've even done it before) but it is demoralizing in the fact that it strips the person of their right to feel, and be in control of their lives; therefore taking full responsibility for it as well.
I'm a big believer of there is a time and a place for most things… in the right context and to a certain degree. Astrology had its time, it had its place and now that place has been taken over by modern science and psychology. The truth hurts, yes undeniably, but mostly only in those first moments when you realise that there are no 'divine powers' guiding you through your life, that you are in complete control of your circumstances whether they are more or less fortunate than those of others. It is this which we are petrified of, it is the realisation of our responsibility for what we have or have not achieved. A part of your personality dies when you feel the pain of knowing that you cannot depend on hope, faith, luck and happy endings. But it is the clarity of seeing things exactly how they are and nothing more which can be somewhat paralyzing and disheartening for us. This seems to take the mystery and excitement out of our 'purpose-filled' lives, leaving only yourself and your own two hands to fulfil it.

Bath-tub drains occasionally need to get substituted, and drains with the built-in stoppers would be those which normally have problems.

You are able to set a brand new resilient flooring over an old one, however you will probably require new underlayment to clean outside the top. This is particularly valid whenever the old flooring comes with a design that is raised, or if the surface is more uneven for different reasons.

hey all..
I am by no means a pianist, but to my somewhat tin ears these sound impressive (in no particular order)
- Apres Moi (shows Regina's classical background
- All The Rowboats) - for the killer opening riff alone
- Field Below (gorgeous solo that sounds straight out of the 1920s)
- Bartender - great opening riff
- 2.99 blues.. great jazz/blues riffs

Last Sunday, I went to a lovely little quilt show in Terrell, Tx. They have an annual show in conjuction with the town's anniversary. It's called the Terrell Jubilee. There's rides for the kids, a car show, hayrides, craft booths, and a Historic Homes Tour. It's a pretty big deal for this little town. I think they've been doing it eleven years now. They have a small quilt show but it's all quality quilts and it's worth going to see what quilts are on display. There's a few local quilt shop vendors too. It was alot of fun to go to this...Here's some of the quilts.

complex but these men's interaction with family, friends, and community.
After allowing the coaches a forum to explain their methods, Cashion weaves
their remembrances into the history of the state. It is during the latter that the
book offers the most. Here the old coaches, some legendary for their storytelling
abilities, describe their lives and Texas during the hardscrabble days of the Great
Depression, the uncertain times of World War II, and the affluence of the post-
war years. Pigskzn Pulpit explains how these men "drew upon values that reflected
an older, bygone era" (p. 175) to instill character in their adolescent charges.
This claim of character-building usually attracts the most criticism, and in his
conclusion Cashion allows the coaches to answer those attacks, thus adding
another meaning to the title. For here the coaches truly preach the gospel of the
gridiron. Whether purposefully or not, Cashion, a believer in the coaches' mes-
sage, delivers ample ammunition for critics of the game's social doctrines, often
by using the coaches' own quotes. For example, Cashion supports his claim that
"coaches tailored punishment to fit the offense" (p. 266) with examples such as
Moon Mullins's method of stopping a player from smoking by laying a lit ciga-
rette on the boy's chest and Leon Vinyard's solution to poor grades, "a good
butt-busting" (p. 273).
Cashion admits the major limitation of Pigskin Pulpit-its reliance on anecdo-
tal evidence-and he acknowledges the need for more study in areas such as the
origins of football and the Prairie View Interscholastic League. Additional
research could also balance the coaches' view with comments from players,
wives, teachers, etc. Hopefully, Cashion's work will ignite further scholarly inter-
est in a part of Texana previously unexplored by historians. Whether it does or
not, Pigskzn Pulpzt is a welcome addition to the study of Texas history and should
prove valuable to anyone studying the state's recent past.

Belly Full of Bedsprings: The Hzstory of Bronc Ridzng. By Gail Hughbanks Woerner.
(Austin: Eakin Press, 1998. Pp. ix+26o. Preface, introduction, epilogue,
appendix, glossary, resource materials, index. ISBN 1-57168-20o9-o. $18.95,
This book provides an interesting overview of the history of bronc riding,
identifying prominent broncbusters and broncs of their era. Woerner obviously
loves her topic, and her narrative is a blend of history and anecdote. Classic pho-
tographs enhance the book. Belly Full of Bedsprings traces the evolution of the
sport, noting how the timed length of a qualifying ride has changed, for
instance, and documenting the emergence of today's highly specialized and pro-
fessional sport. Throughout there is careful differentiation between saddle
bronc and bareback riders. Use of corporate sponsors, cowboy unions, and the
virtual presence of ProRodeo.com are a far remove from the days when the
broncbusters "rode'em till they stopped buckin"' (Chapter 2). The book con-
tains a nod to women's professional rodeo, a look at some of the stockmen of
the sport, and a discussion of the evolution of rodeo sports medicine. The

Were on a mission to save the world from crybabies
John Nelson | North Fond du Lac, WI | 09/06/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"You know what camp your in with Larry The Cable Guy, you love the guy and find him funny and easygoing or you think he's some kind of antichrist who is just so offensive to everyone. Funny how Chappelle and Mencia can go so much farther with material and get such applause and Larry just pushes the envelope and has people needing their diaper changed.
Is this movie any good? No not really, most comedies that aren't even very good movies or have lame stories can still be funny. Is the movie amateurish? yeah it gets pretty silly with scenes that are shot and handled you just know something silly or bad is going to happen. Is the movie FUNNY? Yes, some scenes can be sidesplitting particularily DJ Qualls who is on the tetched side as a sidekick who can't wait to get a gun and blow something away. Keith David as the commander spends most of the movie being humiliated but even he comes away still being awesome. And no Larry and Bill aren't great actors but they are fun to watch and if you were looking for good acting, uh what are you doing here? Harrison Ford and Dustin Hoffman are on another shelf this is Delta Farce for crying out loud!
The idea while farfetched (Reservists while goofing around the base one day get picked to head to Iraq and enroute get dropped out of their plane over Mexico, only they don't know it) makes me think of classic comedy movies or TV shows where the leads don't know where they are and slowly but surely figure it out.
"But Larry is offensive, and they make jokes about things they don't like!!!" Well, then this movie isn't for you and thats all there is to it. I saw it with a friend of mine who served overseas and he thought it was hysterical. To all of Larry's haters out there, just remember what Hoard Stern said, in so many words "If you don't like it, just turn it off."
Oh and quit crying. Really theres so much more to do with your time and life then complain about a comedian."
Methinks Thou Doth Protest Too Much !

"The reviews, with the exception of John Nelson's, are way off. I've found that 99% of the time, when someone doesn't like or hates a comedian is because they don't understand the humour. This has to be the case here. Larry and Bill Engvall are two of the funniest comedians alive. They don't have to work blue to get millions and millions of people to like them. Maybe people don't like this movie because of several reasons ---
A. They don't understand funny things (most probable)
B. They know/are related to rednecks (ie. real people) and are embarrassed
C. They think that to be funny, a movie/comedian has to be really intellectual, high brow, and dry-witted. What's wrong with fart humour ? As my favourite DJ says about his morning show "booger, booger, fart, fart, weiner"
D. They're jealous because they're just like Larry or Bill and aren't famous themselves
E. They think that every movie has to be Oscar quality. This isn't the case. Not every director makes a movie thinking that it's going to win a million awards. Most of the time, people make movies because it's fun and they think people will like it."
J. Unkle | 11/19/2007
(1 out of 5 stars)
"Really, Amazon. You must be joking. I mean, how else could this be a joke? I was looking for a good movie, scanning the best-selling rental list, then saw this...I was positive this was an April Fool's joke, until I remembered this isn't April...
Delta Farce has made-for-TV-comedy written all over it. The predictable shots, the lame acting, the even-worse jokes; it's everything made-for-TV-comedy stands for! If your idea of a funny joke is someone going "Snap into a Slim Jim!", then this movie is for you. In fact, this movie was tailor-made for you, so you should go ahead and rent this movie. In fact, you should go the next step and buy it! Buy this movie and the entire Larry the Cable Guy box set, and laugh and laugh and laugh like the product of a trailer-trash world that you are. You're the guy who makes marketing PR's eyes light up with dollar-signs whenever they pass by you. Your entire life is like something on the Disney channel...bland, unfunny, and altogether devoid of life.
In fact, I'm all but certain this was made by the same dweebs who created High School Musical. How else could a movie this bad be earning so much? Please, for the love of God, STOP SUPPORTING MOVIES LIKE THIS. I can't watch another Delta Farce, I just can't."
In the Army Now meets The Three Amigos
John | Springfield, USA | 11/03/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"That is exactly what this movie is. Its not an intellectual comedy. There is very little plot development, the characters don't evolve much, and its not filled with special effects or hard-core action scenes to make up the difference. So why in all the world did I give it four stars? I liked it because although not hilarious, it is funny. The characters are actually likeable. And the story wasn't really important to pay attention to. It is very mindless. You don't need to think while you watch this movie so its perfect for the work day from h-e-double hockey sticks. I would classify it more as a wind down movie. If you want a gut-wrenchingly funny comedy, this isn't the movie you're looking for. If you are just looking for something simple to watch, this is an excellent choice."

ArcelorMittal will book a huge goodwill impairment charge on its European business in the fourth quarter as the economic problems in the continent hurt the company's business prospects.
The world's largest steelmaker will write down the value of its European business by about $4.3bn (£2.65bn, €3.26bn) in the form of a non-cash impairment charge, following the completion of its yearly goodwill impairment test.
"The impairment is due to a weaker macro economic and market environment in Europe where apparent steel demand has fallen by approximately 8 percent this year, bringing the cumulative demand decline to approximately 29 percent since 2007," the company said in a statement.
"This weaker demand environment, and expectations that it will persist over the near and medium term, led to a downward revision of cash flow expectations underlying the valuation of the European businesses to which goodwill has been allocated."
The impairment, however, will not affect ArcelorMittal's net debt and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, as well as compliance with debt covenants.
In contrast, the Luxembourg- based company's US operations improved with an about 8 percent increase in steel consumption in 2012. However, steel consumption in the US was down by about 10 percent compared to 2007 levels.
Europe's steel industry has been struggling for years with its excess production capacity, while domestic demand has plunged due to the economic downturn. Europe has a production capacity for about 210 million metric tons of steel per year, while the demand there is only 150 million to 160 million tons, according to industry group Eurofer.
In connection with the economic crisis in the continent, ArcelorMittal has shut down its blast furnaces in France and Belgium. In October, the company recorded the lowest quarterly profit in almost three years, and said it is moving to cheaper locations.
Earlier, India's Tata Steel announced 900 jobs cuts and closing of 12 sites in the UK.

This week we have been focusing mainly on potting up thousands of bedding plants that are destined for our events room, these include Lavender, Dahlia, Petunia, Cosmos and Pelargoniums. Once the plants have grown on we have a small army of school children coming to help plant them, the designer for the bedding plan is the lucky winner of a design competition we set these school kids earlier in the year. Pictures will follow.
We have been blessed with wonderful weather again this week, which has really let the plants do the talking, so without too much more to say ill let pictures speak a thousand words.
Intriguing Melianthus major, in flower which is rather unusual for this time of year.
Lovely Ceonothus Sp. alive with the buzz of adoring bees from our apiary.
The meadow outside the walled garden is full of Cowslips, the Latin name Primula veris loosely translates to "First Flower".
The almost blinding Euphobia polychroma "Sonnegold".
The garlic is rocketing on in the veg patch and will one day no doubt help flavour a dish for the family.
The first few Parsnip seedlings are racing away at their stations, the winner gets to stay when thinning time arrives.
This week also saw the installation of our new interpretation boards that help guide the visitors through our garden, these excellent sources of information were expertly framed by two of our skilled volunteers using estate sourced oak. If you like them please let us know in our visitor comments book or the comments section below.
Many of our cut flower seedlings have germinated and are pushing up thier infant seed leaves to the nurturing light. In the vegetable section we have germination of our giant Marrows sowed just last week as well as Okra and Aspargus pea.
Should you visit us this Easter weekend, we hope you enjoy the walled gardens and the Easter games we have provided for children.

What We've Been Up To/What We'll Be Up To
Hey folks,
We took a couple months off playing shows so you may have been wondering where we've been, obviously you've been refreshing this website daily if not hourly hoping for any kind of an update. Well today, you are in luck!
First off, we do have a show coming up.We'll once again be joining The Planet Smashers when they stop by Calgary, make sure you come early to check us out. Nov. 7 at Dickens!
Unfortunately this is going to be our pal Nathan Obreiter's last show with us. He's going to be a father, and has decided he needs to focus on that for the time being, so we wish him the best and while we will miss him, we are excited for him to start a new chapter in his life.
As much as I am sad to see Nate go this does present the wonderful opportunity of having only six people in the band. Think of all the room on stage, think of how much easier it will be to book shows and plan jams. I love the full sound that we have but I will say that with every additional member we have, the logistics of the band get exponentially harder.
The reason we haven't played any shows for a few months is because we have been focusing on writing some new songs with the ultimate goal of recording said new songs into a format where you can listen to them where ever you so desire. So far we've got three brand new songs, and we've worked out a new cover that we are very excited to debut as well. I'm hoping that we can add at least one or two more to that number in the next few months and then hit the studio sometime in 2015.
We're going to stick to the oldies for the Planet Smashers show but we're looking to book a show or two in December or January to debut all our new material.
Lots of exciting stuff coming up for us. Hope to see you all soon.

Nice work, but not the point
Apparently the chips that make up a SIM have become powerful enough to sport teenie little extra programs that can do quite a lot, including leveraging a teenie extra bit of RF hardware stuffed in the same teenie chunk of plastic.
This means two things: One, it can be horribly abused. Two, there is no longer any excuse for not making systems so that they're much harder to abuse.
Most new such mobile systems, including identity and payment systems, near field stuff, oyster type cards, RFIDed passports, even simple entry systems, are positively shoddy with sensitive personal user data. Especially banks are notorious in expecting you not to look beyond their expensive corporate fronts. And instead of reinventing the wheel ever more squarely, we could employ some math of the ``zero knowledge proofs'' type to hide work with that sensitive information without spreading it to all and sundry, wirelessly. And now we have clear indications that the hardware, down to the smallest SIM, is up to it.
So there no longer is any excuse to fuck up as much as we, our banks, our carriers, and our governments, do.
It's the one with the wires sticking out the arms, thanks.

Fictional Straw Family Debuts on YouTube Courtesy of Ontario Government
Here, we have the YouTube debut of the strawgirl, who marries the strawman and together they give birth to strawbabies…it's a whole fictional family! How charming.
Open on a blank table with Jennifer's Ontario Birth Certificate. A paper cut out of Jennifer as a baby pops out of the card and crawls over to her Health Card. A cut out of Jennifer as a child pops up from the Health Card and moves over with the camera to her Driver's Licence. A cut out teenage Jennifer pops up and "drives" towards a Marriage Licence. Jennifer walks onto the marriage licence as a male cut out Brian pops up. The camera follows them as they walk side by side towards a wedding arch cut out that pops up.
Voice Over: Every transaction with the Ontario Government is a part of your story. And now there are more ways to connect at every turn.
The couple walks onto a 'Change of Address' form where a small bungalow cut out pops up. The couple walks into the bungalow, which then pops down behind them. They continue to walk along the form, now with a baby pram. A cut out fence pops up, followed by a cut out of a bigger house. The camera follows the family as they enter the house.

The Alaska SeaLife Center announces the Summer of Sharks! March 17, 2015
Seward, Alaska (January 15, 2015) - Science meets art as the Alaska SeaLife Center (ASLC) brings the Buzz Saw Sharks of Long Ago exhibit to Seward, Alaska. The exhibit is on loan from the Idaho Museum of Natural History (IMNH) and is done in collaboration with Ray Troll. Areas around the aquarium will be transformed into the Paleozoic marine world of the humongous, whorl-toothed shark.
"Summer of Sharks" at the Alaska SeaLife Center opens April 17 with fossils, sculptures, and artwork featuring the majestic Helicoprion. This prehistoric giant is the world's only animal – past or present – with a complete 360-degree spiral of teeth. Imagine a fearsome behemoth equipped with a circular blade of teeth and strong jaws that researchers believe crimped and cut its prey.
The Buzzsaw Shark roamed the Permian Seas more than 270 million years ago. Now, it has come back to life thanks to the informed imagination of Alaskan artist Ray Troll and Idaho State University researchers.
Obsessing over this prehistoric marine species for more than 20 years, Troll is now the go-to guy for all things Helicoprion. Detailed artwork from Troll include a 17.5-foot-long by 8-foot-high mural of sharks, as well as 21 individual pieces. His colorful artwork combined with informational graphics explore a side of scientific history you have never seen before.
Sculptures by artist Gary Staab welcome visitors as they travel back in time. A hanging 15-foot shark sculpture and a giant shark head bursting through the wall watch over visitors as they are immersed in Troll's ode to this extinct creature.
The exhibit, which was previously at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington, also includes four fossils of the shark's unusual and complex whorl dentition dug from Idaho phosphate mines. Three casts of rare fossils and an interactive shark jaw showcase the power of the animal kingdom's most unusual set of teeth.
"I'm really excited to have the 'Buzz Saw Sharks of Long Ago' be a big part of the Alaska SeaLife Center's 'Summer of Sharks.' I think visitors to this special exhibit will find the fossils, life-sized models and colorful artwork to be pretty amazing. I can guarantee that folks have never seen sharks like these ancient wonders before. It's going to be wonderful to get to share them with my fellow Alaskans," Ray Troll said recently when asked about the exhibit.
Children and adults alike will enjoy a humorous documentary film about the artist as they sit on a whorl-patterned "art couch," activate the whorl tooth mechanism, "walk the whorl," and ponder the incredible bite of a "large-as-life" Helicoprion head.
"This is the Alaska SeaLife Center's first traveling exhibit, and we are thrilled to have such scientifically significant artifacts and the fantastic artwork of Ray Troll here at the Center. This is a milestone for ASLC and a major event for Alaska," President and CEO Dr. Tara Riemer said.
Buzzsaw Sharks of Long Ago explores the many ways that people have come to better understand the natural world through mysterious fossils and the quest for creatures of the deep. Troll hopes Buzzsaw Sharks will not only intrigue visitors, but also inspire them to take action and help protect all species of shark and marine life.
Summer of Sharks is open April 17 through Labor Day and made possible by our presenting sponsor BP.
