Overseas media get closer viewNovember 14th, 2007 - 1:54 am ICT by admin
Overseas media can apply through the official website www.cpcnews.cn for interview requests, said Cong Wu, an official with the media center, which officially opened on Monday morning in the Media Center Hotel in central Beijing.
According to the China Daily, more delegations will also throw their door open this year for media coverage, said Zhu Shoucheng, deputy director of the center.
Fifteen of the 38 delegations were open to interviews during the 16th National Congress of the CPC in 2002.
Overseas photographers who previously had to zoom in from a long distance will be allowed closer contact with Party leaders and delegates - a privilege previously given only to a few Chinese media - an official surnamed Li with the media center told China Daily on Monday.
The center, decorated in auspicious red and with Chinese knots, also offers beverages, Internet access and free photo, radio and TV transmission, said Zhu.
A total of 1,033 overseas reporters from 258 media organizations in 42 countries and regions, including 342 from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, have signed up at the center, Zhu said. The number of overseas reporters registered for the 16th Party congress was 859. (ANI)

Its been quite a week...
We celebrated Owen's 6th Birthday at DISNEY WORLD along his friends Jordan & Amber (Krista's little ones). The day was filled with excitement!!! (Fuzzy pictures are courtesy of my camera phone)
During battle, Owen lost his front tooth! (He actually lost it during his spelling test the day before, but losing it in battle sounds way more cool)
Poor Dylan was hit with an evil flu and had to go home early, leaving us one man down! (you know the kid was sick if he wanted to leave Disney World). He is much better now!!!!
Just a quick snapshot here, after saving this castle from certain doom!
With Earth & all galaxies beyond safe from enemies (you can thank us later)...

The Half Truth
I will tell you a story that is only half true. Which half that might be is really up to you.
I used to be a gorgeous princess once. Well, at least that's what my Mother used to call me. I wore the prettiest dresses and was the admiration of everyone who saw me.
Only that what they admired wasn't the dress nor the beauty. What they admired was really, my ability to be brave. Not many girls are brave. Or rather, not many girls are as brave as they portray themselves to be.
I was once brave.
I was brave enough to stand up to the boys. Boys are full of nasty ideas, and they are big bullies. One or two tried to tease me and call me names a number of times. At first I just smiled nicely and pretended like I was too sweet to do anything to retaliate.
Then, one day, when all the boys were out playing football, I exchanged the shirts of the nasties so that none of them got to wear back their own shirts. Of course, they never knew it was me who did it. I was careful about that.
I almost fought with a teacher once, for mistreating my friend. How dare teachers just accuse people of being lazy, when the truth was my friend was busy helping her dad's business so they could earn enough money for the family so she and her other sibilings could all stay in school.
I wrote my real thoughts about school down once, in an exercise book, and handed it up as my essay homework instead of what I was actually supposed to write.
But I had girls in my class who refused to let me join in their fun and games. I was on the sidelines practically most of the time.
Eventually I watched other people my age hog the limelight, whilst I fell back into the shadows. Not because I had nothing to offer, but because others outshined me, and I accepted it for a fact.
My voice grew softer amidst the growing confidence that my peers were developing. Latest world news, current youth trends, juicy gossip. I could not keep up.
I had talent once. I squandered it. That is because I sang in a school concert, and although it was pretty good, my teacher told me instead that I had done a terrible job and my voice was not worthy to be heard in public. Which was terribly untrue.
I had always wanted to be a teacher. But then my grades got bad in high school because I fell in love with a boy who didn't love me back. One day, I tried kissing a real live frog, hoping that it might become a real prince, who would love me as I am and when he looked into my eyes, I'd feel so self-assured that I was okay and that I was lovable.
My Mum died when I was still in university. She used to say such lovely things to me every day and it kept me going. It made me feel special, that I had a unique place in this world. After she was gone, I stopped believing everything she said because I realised all the hope she had encouraged me with hadn't had the power to save her from dying and leaving me all alone here in the world.
I found a useful job, and kept at it long enough until all the good people gave up doing it, and only I was left. So I was successful because there was no one else who stuck it out as long as me. And everyone thought I was smart. And also hinted that maybe I had been brave.
I married a man almost prince-like, only so far as his choice of cars, clothes and food go. Nothing but the best and the most pricey things for my handsome hunk. I am his princess, but only when I do everything he expects of me.
I wrote a story once, about what my lfe was really like. It had a happy ending, or so I thought I recalled. It goes something like what I just told you.
What I told you at the beginning of my story is true. And then there was the other half.

There is a great deal of difference between doing something because you have to and doing something because you want to. That is, I believe, the essence of passion.
Take now into consideration the fact that I am up at this superbly late hour working on freelance articles. Of course I'll get paid for it and of course I have to deliver because I agreed to deadlines and it would reflect on my professionalism.
But yet I could choose to simply kill off word limits by writing nonsense or simply plaster in facts without putting effort into coining catchy puns or putting life into the words I write. It would consume less time, and the work would still get done.
However, ladies and gentlemen, I take pride in the articles I churn out, regardless of how pressing the deadlines or how daunting the topics.
The reason lies in the existence of passion.
I will be downright honest with you and tell you quite frankly that the amount of money I am being remunerated right now for what I do versus the quantity of effort I put into to produce any one given article is not in the least proportionate. It is by no means at a sustainable level as far as income is concerned. But I am doing this in the hopes that someday it will be.
Let a passion of yours collide with what you do as work and the results would be explosive. Productivity would be up by a gazillion notches and not only would you be satisfied, I'd wager your employers would be as well.
I'm embarking on that road now. The path to seek out how I may enter a job that incorporates what I am passionate about that at the same time can earn me a steady and relatively self sustainable income.
It has not been an easy road so far, and I don't expect it will be in the future either. I'm still waiting for my big break to come, yet shuffling while I wait by taking on freelance work to build my portfolio. A lot of people in my life are supportive of my move to do this, yet not many people really appreciate what it involves or share my joys/despairs in the journey. I have been questioning too how much of this is worth it, and how it would be be oh-so-easy to just slip back into doing what I'm qualified to do but which kills me off slowly as I continue to choose to do it. It is a dilemma of sorts.
Is what you're passionate about worth fighting for?
If you asked me, I'd be willing to wager that if it wasn't, it wouldn't be labelled a passion of yours in the first place.

Entry #0001
The Trenches, 0000 hours
I am finally alone. I am here at last.
I have tried many times to make it here to write this, but as you might expect, things often get in the way around here.
It's all their fault.
There have been others before me, many who have tried to do as I now endeavour to. To write about what really goes on here. To make known everything that they do.
They have kept us silent for far too long now. They try to strike fear into our hearts, to make us cower in their presence. To believe that there is no way that we can rise up against them. That they are not afraid.
But they are.
That is why they keep making efforts to silence us. It is the reason that they stalk us, the same cause for the violence. Yes. They resort to violence now. All their calm assurances that they would never lay a hand on those under their care is nothing but a hoax.
That's what they are, anyway. Nothing but a giant lie.
I shiver as I write this. I fear to be found out. But as I said before, I need to continue where the others have left off. It is the tiny glimpse of hope that comforts me now. The hope that somehow, when our story gets out, there will be a chance for change.
It is that chance which gives me the strength to keep going.
But this is all I can afford to pen down for now. I hear them coming. I must go.
Till next time.

Is the Sun Setting on Renewable Energy Investment?
Energy Giants Losing Interest in Renewables in Favour of Gas?
by Tsveta Zikolova,0
The recent decision by British oil and gas giant BP (LON:BP, NYSE:BP) to put up for sale its wind energy assets in the US has raised the question whether global energy majors have started losing interest in investing in renewable energy ventures, or they have never intended to put green energy on an equal footing with their traditional line of business.
BP's Alternative Energy Push – There and Back Again
Reporting on the decision, The Times wrote earlier this month that BP's drive into renewables started in 2005 under Lord Browne of Madingley, the company's chief executive at that time, who had pledged to set BP on a course "beyond petroleum". BP's push into renewable energy resulted in a £4.6 billion investment in wind, solar and hydrogen power, with the company becoming one of the larger wind generators in the US. Currently, Houston-based BP Wind Energy North America, BP's privately-owned subsidiary, operates 16 wind farms with a combined generation capacity of 2,600 megawatts located in nine states. The Financial Times quoted Bruce Hamilton, an analyst at Navigant, as giving a rough estimation that BP's business could be worth $1.5 billion (£977 million).
BP's retreat from renewable energy started as early as 2007. In 2011, the company retreated from solar power, having closed down its photovoltaic panel factories and its separate BP Alternative Energy headquarters in London.
Once BP offloads its wind energy assets in the US, the sole remnants of its push into renewable energy sources would be a sugar cane ethanol venture (controversial as truly 'green' energy) in Brazil and some research initiatives.
The Bigger Picture
So, what will happen with BP's US wind energy assets? The Times quoted a company spokesman as saying that the divestment "will be the subject to attractive offers being received". Bloomberg recently quoted Bruce Hamilton, director for energy at US-based Navigant Consulting Inc, as pointing out that the sale presented an opportunity for international investors, including Chinese and Korean buyers, to enter the US wind energy market.
So, the bigger question in fact is whether the sale – if and when it takes place – indicates a wider trend among oil and gas majors to exit renewable energy or it is just a case of a company looking to shed non-core assets to concentrate on its major – and more profitable - line of business, especially in the context of the heavy fines imposed on BP for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Linda Cook, Shell's executive director of gas and power at the time, put it quite bluntly, as quoted by The Guardian: "If there aren't investment opportunities which compete with other projects we won't put money into it. We are businessmen and women. If there were renewables [which made money] we would put money into it."
When looking at BP and Shell's renewable energy initiatives, or rather, at what will be left of them once BP disposes of its wind energy assets, one notes that both companies are involved in investments in biofuel ventures, and in particular, in sugar cane in Brazil. In the case of BP, in December 2012, BP Biofuels announced that it planned to invest $350 million to expand the ethanol processing capacity of Tropical, one of its sugar cane processing ventures in Brazil.
Royal Dutch Shell participates in a joint venture called Raizen for producing ethanol from sugar cane together with the Brazilian firm Cosan. Shell has drawn fire from environmental groups for freezing investments in other renewables in favour of biofuels – an alternative to oil-derived petrol and diesel fuel often blamed for driving up food prices and causing deforestation.
Elsewhere in Europe, French oil giant Total SA (EPA:FP, NYSE:TOT), has a 20 percent stake in the joint venture operating Shams 1 – one of the world's biggest concentrated solar power plants which is located in Madinat Zayed, around 120 kilometres southwest of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

In this extra weird episode of Retro Wednesdays, we look at Cocoron. Which sounds more like a candybar than a video game.
Spending this season going through these Famicom games has been an absolute blast. I've gotten the chance to experience games I've never even heard of before and in some cases are really fun to play. Cocoron was a game I never heard of and had no idea what exactly it was going to be about.
Turns out it's one of my new favorite games.
Now to explain the story line I have to do a little guesswork. If you've been following our season play through you know we aren't really able to read Japanese so some of this I had to patch together from websites and insert some of my own guessing. The game starts by introducing you to this weird blue Polka-dot wearing freak that's a Tapir. This creature is capable of making dreams. He tells you of this evil wizard named Baku who has kidnapped some lady named Princess Mua, and a fairy named Cocoron. You are set out to rescue the two of them as well as Cocoron's brother Cocorin who tells you how to get to them. Eventually you rescue Princess Mua and you discover *****SPOILER ALERT******
[spoiler] That freak Taipir is actually the freaking wizard! [/spoiler].
So if that wasn't weird enough for you let's talk about your "character" in the game you can play as a character you build yourself. You have several heads, bodies, and attacks to choose from. You can mix and match all you want. Want a robot head on a dragon body that throws music notes? You got it. Want a wrestler body with a warrior helmet that throws ninja stars? Totally. Below the video is a breakdown of the different head/body/weapon combos you can have. This part was hard to figure out since it's all in Japanese but once we figured it out it was a lot of fun.
Let me save you some time and say the best combo we found was the Warrior Helm, with a Jetpack body and ninja stars. It has the health to survive, with a good weapon and the ability to float jump. The jump alone is worth it. Outside of that it is an action platformer that is really similar to mega man. This is most likely because Akira Kitamura who was the character designer of the original Mega Man designed this game. He felt Mega Man (or Rockman) didn't go far enough into character customization so he made this game. He also make this other Famicom game you may have heard of called Lickle or Little Samson which feels and plays a lot like this.
When started playing Cocoron, I didn't understand character builds early on but once we got it figured out it was a REALLY fun game to play. It's challenging without being too crazy hard, fun to mix and match play styles, and comes with a great sound library and graphics to boot. It really disappoints me this game wasn't released in the U.S. My only guess as to why is the story line was too weird for us feeble americans to handle.
In the end Cocoron is a really fun game that any collector should go try to find. There are a ton of reproduction carts out there which I'd recommend since there is some text translation involved in the game. If you don't care and just want to play, the Famicom version is pretty awesome as well.

My parents stopped by for a visit this afternoon. They live about 30 minutes from us and it's always a treat when they come over. Today they brought their three Schnauzer dogs to "visit" my one. So, it was a rowdy treat.
After they left, my five year old found me reading in my big comfy chair.
"Mom, can I ask you a question?"
"Do GaGa and Pawpaw have any children?"
I tried so hard not to laugh.
I shook my head yes.
"Who are they?" she was totally serious.
I raised my hand.
And if she had been a cartoon character, a LIGHTBULB would have appeared over her head.
"Oh, that's why they like you so much."
I'm gonna need her to stay 5 years old forever.

tv reporter
'Wilkos' is tough love; 'TMZ' loves celeb dirtWith today's launch of the spinoff talker "The Steve Wilkos Show," Jerry Springer is building himself a TV empire that arguably parallels that of Oprah Winfrey. But the daytime syndication veteran, whose own talk show kicks off its 17th season Sept. 17, laughs off any comparison to the queen of daytime.
"It's not fair to Oprah to put me in the same sentence," Springer says. "Oprah is in a world of her own; she's the best there is or has ever been."
Still, it's hard to deny the similarities in the TV paths forged by the two Chicago-based talk show hosts, including introducing cable extensions of their daytime series, having presences in musicals and films and spinning off talkers. Springer also recently had a good run on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" — he's now mulling the idea of releasing a dance-themed DVD — and will return next summer as host of NBC's "America's Got Talent."
But the likable host — who is worlds removed from his guests, whom he regularly warns that he would never go on his own show — is modest about his international success.
"I think it's just inevitable that when you have a show on for so long, it will ultimately spawn … movies, other TV shows or musicals," he says. "Some ideas you throw up there and hope they work, but who knows if they will or not?"
But Richard Dominick, executive producer of NBC Universal's "Springer" and "Wilkos," which stars "Springer's" former head of security, knew Springer would be a star when they first met early on in his talker's run.
"There's an 'Uncle Jerry' appeal to him — everything is going to be OK as long as Jerry is around, no matter how crazy things are," he says.
Now Dominick is expecting big things from Wilkos as well. Dominick, in fact, is the person responsible for Wilkos' shaved head. He noticed Wilkos gaining popularity with viewers about 10 years ago and thought he could become even more famous.
"Back in 1997, there wasn't anybody with a bald head," Dominick says. "One night I was watching 'Kojak,' and told Steve: 'Do me a favor. Shave your head, and I'll make you a star.' "
Pretty soon, the love letters started rolling in, and the screaming girls became a common sight.
Where Springer is the "ringmaster" of the craziness that transpires on his talker, Wilkos is taking a "tough love" approach to dealing with his guests, who this week include self-admitted pedophile Jack McClellan.
"If you're a bad guy, you're going to hear it from him; if you're a victim, you're not going to be coddled either," Dominick says.
Also debuting today is Warner Bros./Telepictures Prods.' syndicated entertainment newsmagazine "TMZ," which executive producer Harvey Levin promises will be "completely different" than other shows of its ilk.
"It has an edge that resembles the Web site (TMZ.com)," he says. "We don't go on red carpets; we don't go to junkets."
In fact, the mantra of the show is "we're not covering the world of entertainment; we're covering celebrities who are entertaining."
That means that such high-profile stars as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears are fair game, along with lesser-known celebrities that do something "memorable," Levin says.
Also unique is that the fast-paced "TMZ" will not be shot in a studio but in its newsroom on the Sunset Strip and is not intended to be a host- or reporter-driven show.
"It's all about the stories, videos and photos," Levin says.

When Wind Blows
When the wind blows, the risks increase for light aircraft operations. The single leading cause of accidents involves loss of directional control during takeoff or landing. The AOPA Air Safety Foundation's General Aviation Weather Accident Safety Review shows that over an 11-year period the National Transportation Safety Board identified wind as a primary cause of more than 2,800 accidents. These occurred primarily on landings, with takeoff being the second most likely phase of flight for wind accidents. Some might argue that wind isn't "weather" in the traditional sense of the word, but rapidly moving air marked by airmets and measured in steeply packed isobars isn't chicken soup. If there is a bright spot in all this, the accidents seldom cause more than minor injuries because the aircraft is moving relatively slowly and is generally in a landing or takeoff attitude. Crosswinds and gusts accounted for about 80 percent of the difficulty, according to the NTSB.
Pilots coming out of hibernation in March and April seem to have more trouble, which is logical because these are windy months in most parts of the country. As the earth heats up, the temperature differential between cold and warm areas causes frontal systems to move. Pilots often haven't been flying much in the winter or have flown only in stable conditions.
With reasonable proficiency and adequate runway dimensions, you should be able to handle surface winds up to 15 knots. The actual crosswind component might be around 7 or 8 knots. Defining reasonable is one of those details, and it seems that pilots are frequently overconfident right up to the point of impact. Flight instructors say that one of the toughest maneuvers to teach is a crosswind landing, partly because of the difficulty in scheduling the crosswind where and when you...

text: Android noob here, so sorry if this is a repeat question but after a lot of searching I've not found an answer yet which does exactly what my current software (MobSync) does with my Windows Mobile device. What I want to do is auto-sync a podcasts folder, and its subfolders, from my PC over to my new HTC Desire-Z via Wi-Fi. I've found a few programs that appear to be able do this task fine, but I'm not sure which of them can do a full sync, i.e. including echoing deletes back to the PC. What I need is for the software to periodically copy any new podcasts found in the PC folder over to the phone (OK, that bit is easy). However when I've listened to the podcast and deleted it from the phone's folder, I want the sync software to neatly delete the same file from the PC too. Any suggestions from the experts here? (Without spending a fortune, naturally? ) Andre

As they say sometimes best things comes in small package. We too believe it when it comes to Hindi Cinema, as many times we have witness small films making its mark and at times work even better than some biggies. But then there are few films where they start out with good idea and in between goes on a different track or have bad execution or non star cast, etc. Last but not the least there are some small films which are stuck for long time and when released, people wonder why it ever released. So this week too there is a small film with some talented actors, let's find ... » read more
Film: "Fatso"; Cast: Ranvir Shorey, Gul Panag, Purab Kohli and Neil Bhoopalam; Director: Rajat Kapoor; Rating:***Some fine actors, who know how to look at home even when placed in outlandish circumstances, carry this quaint tale of love, death, separation, resurrection and reparation to the level of a fairly engaging comedy.Films about near-death and after-life have a tendency to be flippant in tone while showing a world beyond the one that we know. It's the same fear of the unknown that makes us laugh loudly when we are in a pitch-dark room looking for an exit.This romcom makes its way out of the comfort zone of a love triangle (actually, quadrangle, and then one more angle added somewhere down the line), gets sassy about laughing» Read full review

Company : Organomation Assoc Inc
UMDC Code : 104285
Organomation's line of MULTIVAPs are extremely versatile and user friendly instruments, the 64 and 100 positions models (Catalog #11364 and #11300) utilize our classic water bath to maximize evaporation. These instruments are comprised of a rectangular gas distribution system mounted on a frame and dual post assembly. Like our N-EVAPs, the manifold delivers nitrogen gas to the needles or glass pipettes and onto the sample's surface resulting in rapid solvent evaporation. In order to conserve nitrogen gas, the manifold has toggle switches which allow individual rows to be shut off when evaporating batches at less than full capacity. The manifold also serves as part of our dual band spring hoist assembly which permits effortless raising or lowering of the apparatus. A needle guide for the 64 and 100 Position MULTIVAPs is an available option. For your convenience, nitrogen gas flow is controlled by an adjustable flow meter. The samples are loaded into a stainless steel sample holder rack which sits submerged within a hot water bath. All Sample racks are customized for the users samples to maximize sample stability. Please specify sample size (outside diamter and length) when placing the an order. Baths are thermostatically controlled and will accurately maintain water temperature from 30°C to 70°C. All models can withstand contact with organic solvents. Acid resistant models are also available for corrosive solutions. Please feel free to contact us for any specific questions about these instruments.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

What is "solar photovoltaics"?
Photovoltaic (PV) devices convert light directly into electricity. The key components of a PV system (array) are the modules (solar panels), the inverter (converts Direct Current to Alternating Current). Additional items such as storage batteries and charge controllers (control charging and discharging of storage batteries), need to be used in certain cases.
What is "net metering"?
Net Metering is a program BC Hydro offers to customers with their own clean electricity generating source (Solar Photovoltaics) to connect to the BC Hydro distribution system. When the system has generated more energy than required by the building, the excess is sold to BC Hydro and a credit is applied to the account.
What solar photovoltaic options are available?
Grid-Tie system is interconnected to the BC Hydro distribution system through the net metering program, and supplies the building's electricity needs and sells extra energy to BC Hydro, thus eliminating or reducing your electricity bill.
Grid-Tie with Backup is also interconnected to the BC Hydro distribution system through the net metering program. It differs from the standard grid-tie system as it will supply energy during a power outage through a battery bank or an external source such as a generator.
Off-Grid systems are mostly used for cabins in remote locations where there is no connection to the electrical grid. The system is designed for each particular use, and has energy storage through a battery bank to ensure electricity at night or low levels of solar insolation.
How many solar panels do I need?
The size of the system will be determined by location, mounting method and the energy needs.
Electrical Energy Efficiency
How to select the right LED lamp?
- Make sure it is an approved product for use in Canada.
- Watts=Energy required to light the lamp.
- Lumens=Light output of a lamp.
- Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) =A measure of light colour in Kelvin.
- Colour Rendering Index (CRI) =A rating of the lamps light on the colour appearance of objects on a scale of 0-100.
- Also keep in mind the size of the base, and its use.
What is "phantom loads"?
Also known as stand by, and vampire loads, are primarily electronic appliances which continue to consume power when not in use.
What is the "Energy Star" rating?
Indicates that a product meets or exceeds high efficiency standards, a certified product is in the top 15 to 30 percent of its class for energy performance.
Electrical Vehicle (EV) Charging
How long will my EV take to charge?
Charging time is dependent on the size and state of charge of the battery, along with source of power, and the on-board charger.
What are the charging options?
Level 1 is through a standard 120 volt receptacle. Most EV come with a cord so no additional equipment is needed. Charging takes the greatest amount of time (up to 20 hours) compared to other options.
Level 2 can be supplied with a 240 volt or 208 volt circuit up to 80amps. An independent charger station is needed but in some cases certain outlets can be suffice. A perfect option for home or public charging, a complete charge can take place in approximately 4 hours.
Level 3 (DC fast charging) 480v is the fastest method of charging for most EV's. The power requirements are greatly higher thus making it an ideal public fueling station, in approximately 20 mins the state of charge can be brought up to 80%.
Impact of EV charging on my bill?
Theoretically your electricity bill increases due to the additional load. A solution to counter this is by upgrading existing forms of lights, energy conservation practices, and a solar photovoltaic array (solar panels) which can completely offset your EV energy needs.
Will I have to upgrade my electrical connection to accommodate EV charging?
No, in majority of the cases an electrical service upgrade is not required, as we can install load management devices.

David Moyes saluted match-saver Patrick van Aanholt after the supersub rescued a point for Sunderland against West Brom.
The Dutchman started and finished the move which brought the Black Cats level in the 83rd minute after Nacer Chadli had fired the Baggies ahead 10 minutes before the break.
Moyes dropped van Aanholt to the bench as he made five changes for the crucial home game against the Baggies.
But PVA was the man Moyes turned to when Jan Kirchhoff was stretchered off 11 minutes into the second half and the 26-year-old did not let his gaffer down with his second goal of the season, finishing with aplomb after converting Duncan Watmore's cross off the outside of his right boot .
"We needed to find a goal," said Moyes. "At the time we had no forward, attacking players we could make changes to how we could play.
"The only thing we could do was to change the system and try to find another way.
"The one thing Pat can do is get goals, he's got a couple already after scoring against Middlesbrough as well.
"If you said at the end of the season that a left-back gets you two, three, four goals that's a good return.
"I'm pleased with the goal, it was good play by Duncan Watmore to create the chance."
The point was good enough to lift Sunderland off the bottom, Stoke dropping down to basement spot on goal difference.
The home side produced a tremendous effort against a side notorious for their resilince in defence,
Chadli had finished well to give West Brom a 35th-minute lead after Matt Phillips had put the Belgian in.
"I have to praise the players for their endeavour, to keep going, to knock on the door and to try to find a way to score," said the Cats boss.
"I told them well done, I thought our energy in the first half was terrific, I felt we didn't deserve to be a goal down.
"It was an uphill task after that and West Brom are the masters at not conceding and being hard to beat.
"At 1-0 it was a difficult job but I have to say the quality to keep going was terrific, we kept at, I'm glad we gave the supporters something."

Stayed here for 3 nights in December, and this place was picked based on nearest to my employer. To call this a hotel would be wrong. It is more of a 'accommodation for rent' kinda place, with no frills. There were 2 small single beds...More

In hindsight, swatching Chanel's holiday collection was a mistake. If I hadn't swatched, I could have lived in blissful ignorance — instead I'm placing my Nordstrom.com order.
The holiday collection includes two limited edition eyeshadow singles ($28.50). 407 Blazing Gold is a slightly chunky shimmery yellow. 417 Beige Lamé is a nutmeg-tan satin with very tiny blue and pink sparkles.
There is one new eyeshadow duo ($42): 27 Noir-Ivoire, a satin charcoal-black paired with a gently shimmery wedding-dress-ivory-beige. I'm surprised that such a basic and sensible duo would be limited edition, but it is. Buy now or forever hold your peace.
The collection repromotes Crayon Kohl pencil eyeliner in Noir (so I swatched it; $28). There's also a limited edition Ligne Extreme liquid liner in 307 Or ($32). It's a very yellow gold metallic shade with a fine brush applicator.
587 Rouge Carat nail polish ($25) is a rose-red with fuchsia pink shimmer — also limited edition.
Of course the signature piece of the collection is an ornately embossed highlighting powder: Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel. It is lovely, but at $72, I wasn't prepared to buy it for looks alone. And then I swatched it.
I can't think of another powder that's so amazingly pearly. It's white that's simultaneously pink and gold. It's really a remarkable shade.
I don't totally understand Poudre Universelle Libre (Natural Finish Loose Powder) Féérie ($52). It's a translucent powder with tiny pink and gold sparkles. It seems risky to put this all over your face.
And then the Tissages blush in Brun Rose swept me off my feet. It's a slightly burned matte coral that — for me — is a must-have. All Tissages blushes are $45.
If you needed proof that life isn't fair, all three of these powders — even the blush — are limited edition.
I swatched the lips in what I felt was a sensible color order, so the formulas are all mixed up.
You guessed it: everything on this arm is ALSO limited edition.
Famous (207) is a Rouge Allure lipstick ($32). It's a pink-red with subtle pink sparkles.
Dragon (75) is a Rouge Allure Laque (full coverage lipgloss, $32). It's a cool, deep, sexy red with a shine/slight shimmer. This is a repromoted color (see a swatch from its 2009 debut), but soon to be discontinued — which has caused a bit of a frenzy. I find Dragon too cool, too blue-red for me.
Triomphal (517) is a Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss ($32). Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss is a pigmented-but-sheer formula compared to Laque's full coverage, liquid-lipstick finish. (Click here for swatches from Extrait de Gloss's debut, plus a lip-swatch of EdG in Exces.) Compared to Dragon, Triomphal is a sheerer cherry pink-red with pink sparkles.
Enivrée (197) is a Rouge Allure lipstick ($32), a sheer warm pink with pink sparkles.
Empire (707) is a Rouge Allure Laque ($32), a medium warm rose with gold sparkles.
Sweet Beige (297) is a Glossimer ($28.50), a muted/greyed beige-pink with gold sparkles.
Sparkle d'Or (307) is also a Glossimer ($28.50); clear with tiny gold sparkles.
There should be one more Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss: nude-beige Discretion. I checked four counters and no one had received tester or product; they said the shade was MIA nationwide. Since Chanel's website lists permanent shade Insouciance instead, I guess Discretion isn't coming.

Two of the institutions most important in Medieval Europe were the church and the family. Women played a large role in the formation of both, and it is no surprise the two were often expected to go hand in hand. Women were expected to fall into a certain religious path - one of piety, virtue, and Christianity, and when that path was strayed from, many women were condemned, persecuted, or used.
Religious differences were common when Medieval Europe began to split into separate religious factions. Marriage was expected to be between members of one religion, and the sanctity of marriage was guaranteed if both members if the couple was religious. Marriages were sacred in much of medieval Europe, but religious differences not only affected who could marry who, but to what level there marriage would be recognized by those around them.
Constance of "The Man of Law's Tale" is a prime example of a religious pawn.
The syrian sultan, who wanted Constance's hand in marriage, became baptized Christian. He had to do this because, as the man of law said, ". . . it was vain to ask a Christian prince to entertain thoughts of alliance . . ." when one was not Christian himself. After his baptism Constance would have to marry him, for political and religious reasons. Her father was ecstatic to gain a portion of stock in Syrian land. The sultan's mother however, saw the religious folly that was to take place. She planned to pretend to be baptized, which, in her opinion, would default the marriage, "this Christian match . . . shall be undone." When the sultan was overthrown and all of those Christians around him were killed, Constance was sent back to her own Christian land. Was this move fair to Constance?...

Social Security benefits are based on a person's highest 35 wage-earning years, so retirement at age 60 can impact benefits if that person leaves a well-paying job, notes AARP. People who make less than they did in their top 35 years won't lose benefits if they retire early.
Everyone is eligible to collect Social Security benefits starting at age 62, although the age when someone can collect full benefits ranges from 65 to 67, depending on his birth date. Someone who collects benefits before his full retirement age experiences a permanent reduction in payments, according to the Social Security Administration.

Oh dear. My recent rants about religion have led at least one reader to conclude I am an atheist. Far from it. I am descended from a long line of Methodist lay preachers. One of whom was so friendly with John Wesley that when he came to preach in my family home at Stourbridge in Staffordshire so many people wanted to hear him they could not all fit in the ground floor of the house.
My ancestor hit upon a typically Skidmorean solution. He carved a hole in the kitchen ceiling, stood Wesley on the table so that his head peeped through into the bedroom above and directed the overflow to listen to him there. Another ancestor held towpath services for bargees, which led to him being called the Bargeman's Bishop.
My favourite ancestral story concerns the more exalted branch of the family who held the living of Abbey Dore in the Golden Valley. One of them appointed a vicar who was only five foot tall and could not be seen over the rim of the pulpit. My ancestor, disturbed by being sermonised by a disembodied voice, tried to persuade him to stand on a box. The tiny vicar refused because it was not consonant with his dignity.
The ancestor was Charles II's ambassador to France at the time but that did not prevent him from giving most of his attention to the pulpit dispute. His refusal to learn French obviously reduced the time he had to spend on official duties.
Far from being anti-religious, I have worried about religion for most of my life and have only recently come to a conclusion that satisfies me. I have never shared the belief that the more science discovers about life, the more difficult it becomes to believe in a creator. Quite the opposite. I read in the Daily Telegraph of new mathematical theories which suggest that, in the very beginning, there was a void that possessed energy but was devoid of substance. "Then the void changed, converting energy into the hot matter of the big bang. But the team suggests that the void did not convert as much energy to matter as it could, retaining some, in the form of what we now call dark energy, which now accelerates the expansion of the cosmos."
The story (DT 22.11.07) described a basic tenet of religion. The doctrine of my old friend Hermes Trignegustus, who said in the 2nd century "God is a sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere."
Or of Zen Buddhism. Witness Huang Po's description of Zen in the 9th century: "All the Buddhas and all sentient beings are nothing but the One Mind beside which nothing exists. This Mind, which is without beginning, is unborn and indestructible. It has neither form nor appearance. It does
not belong to the categories of things which exist or do not exist; nor can it be thought of in terms of new or old. It is neither long nor short, big nor small, for it transcends all limits, measures, names, traces and comparisons. It is what you see before you. Begin to reason about it and you at once fall into error. It is like the boundless void which cannot be fathomed or measured."
In the 17th century Sir Thomas Browne wrote in his "Religion of a
Doctor": "I believe that a common spirit infuses all mankind. It is the spirit of God. It is the spirit which lay on the waters and by its heat generated the world and all creation... the Holy Spirit. The Universal Spirit of the Pagan."
Another thing I learned recently was that we all carry two strands of genes, the purpose of one strand being to repair any malfunctions in the other. It is difficult, given those facts, to subscribe to the philosophical assertion, the incorrigible proposition "there is no plan, no scenario, no libretto".
The simple truth, as I see it, is contained in the four fundamental doctrines at the core of Aldous Huxley's 'Perennial Philosophy', which he says all religions share. The first is that the phenomenal world of matter and individual consciousness is a Manifestation of Divine Ground. The second is that human beings are not only capable of knowing the Divine Ground: they realise it by direct intuition. Thirdly, man possesses a double nature, the phenomenal ego and an Eternal Self, the spark of Divinity within the soul. Fourthly, man's life on earth has one purpose: to identify himself with his Eternal Self and so come to intuitive knowledge of the Divine Ground.
I don't believe in God as Father Christmas, presiding over a Celestial Eisteddfod where everyone, clad in Druidical nightshirts, incessantly plays harps and you can't get a drink. I don't believe in miracles, biblical assertions. And if there is a Day of Judgement, I will stuff my fingers in my ears so that I cannot hear the heavenly trumpet and refuse to take part.
Like Oscar Wilde said to Robert Ross, "When the Last Trumpet sounds, Robbie, let us pretend we do not hear it."
I hope I make myself clear?
During World War 2, my friend George Thomas was a wireless operator in a bomber. He told me that on one occasion his aircraft was returning from a raid with so many holes in the fuselage that the pilot suggested, as they approached the coast, they should all jump out before they fell out.
George, who had a great talent in these matters, parachuted into the paddling pool of a holiday camp. The moment he touched water, the rubber dinghy he carried strapped to his back inflated, upending him so that he was floating like an upturned tortoise.
That wasn't the worse thing, George told me. He said the dinghy contained a large capsule of purple dye which was designed to explode and mark the position of the evicted airman in a vast sea. In the confined area of a paddling pool it emitted a dye of such intensity, George said, he felt like a DFC on a purple velvet cushion.
And there was worse to come. At that stage of the war, he told me, scientists had perfected a small radio beacon which was strapped to the chest of air crew and was so sensitive that on impact an aerial shot up and the equipment issued a loud intermittent bleep.
So there he was, up-ended, circling a tiny azure paddling pool, with his chest making rude noises.
But not even that was the worse thing, he told me (and at this point his voice always shook with suppressed emotion). Over the sound of the radio bleeping he could hear cheering and a ripple of applause. Turning his head, he saw that the pool was ringed by excited children, some of whom were waving paper flags, which he said was very touching.
This went on for some time before a large Yorkshireman in a red coat waded into the pool and pulled George to the safety of the bank. He introduced himself as the camp manager and said, "I dunno know oo tha art, but I'll tell thee what. If tha can come and do that every Saturday there's a fiver in it for you."
A Vicar wrote to the News Chronicle:
"If golf is allowed on Sunday, then cricket and football, tennis, bowls and darts must also be sanctioned and Sunday in Aberystwyth will outdo Paris."
Sending me this cutting from his Oxford college, the late Professor E. M. Hugh-Jones wrote of the occasion when ... "Gerard Fiennes was walking with the station master along the front at Aberystwyth and an RAF plane flew over on parachute exercise. The first failed to open and the poor man plummeted into the sea. 'Eh indeed," remarked the stationmaster, 'nothing opens in Aberystwyth on a Sunday.'"
May I take the opportunity of hoping, against all the odds, that my readers will have a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous and Healthy New Year? Just don't bet on it.

I am sure a lot of my readers are in the same boat as we are.. things are TIGHT. Now that I'm home I feel like one of my jobs is to be frugile and make cuts where ever possible. Our study was SO good today that there was no way I COULD NOT keep some of this information from you guys. So.. I will give you a ton of my and my fellow MOTTT'S-ers ideas on how to save money. In turn I would ask YOU, oh "more left unseen" reader.. to list some of your money saving ideas. We're all in this together, gals.. lets have fun doing it!
COMPUTER/PICTURE Savin's
*Print in "rough draft" quality. Pages come out kinda grey instead of black but it will save on ink.
*Fill your ink cartridge refills at Walgreens.. I had a coupon the other day and it was $10 for black and white cartridge and $15 to refill a color.
KID STUFF Savin's
*For those of you in the midwest that have a Meijer close by.. their pre-natal vitamins are FREE! Just found this out today.. prescription WILL be changed immediately.
BOOK: http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&attid=0.1&thid=11e46dc70cf609fb&mt=application%2Fpdf&pli=1
QUESTION & ANSWER BOOK: http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&attid=0.1&thid=11e46dd414d6ee32&mt=application%2Fpdf
*I know some get weirded out by used children's clothes.. but holy cow can you save a ton buying used! I know I've told you all about the Children's Resale I'm apart of but if you don't live close to me or don't have anything like this close to you.. GARAGE SALE SHOP. We have a town-wide garage sale weekend and last year I found THE MOTHER of all garages sales. The gal had two little girls with clothes exactly in the seasons for Adie and threw her boxes out in the garage where we had to dig through them. Not as organized as I would have liked BUT everything was $.50 because she didn't want to price things. And all she had was Gap, Ralph Lauren and Old Navy items. I will dig all the way to China to spend $.50 on quality kids stuff. Also, if you hit a garage sale like this where it's perfect seasons and your taste in clothes give the chick your phone number to contact you when she's having her next sale. May take some "stepping out" on your part but heck, for good clothes it's worth it!
*Did you know you can make your own Baby Wipes? Um.. I AM SO TRYING THIS!!!
Most of ya know we buy junk houses. It's a hobby, provides a super cheap mortgage, it's a way to keep moving up to bigger houses as our family grows and selling them has also provided a savings account for us since living on a teacher's salary doesn't give us much room to save in our budget! Now, most of you have no interest in doing what we've done BUT I will give you some tips on how I've decorated each house on a budget.
*Here's some framed fabric in Adie's room inside a frame I painted white. Added some ribbon to hang it up and wala.. a no sewing, NO TIME flat wall hanging that matches her room perfectly.
*Darin just recently put up our light scones beside our bed in the new room. You see them all the time on HGTV but actually finding them in the stores? Impossible. Well, we didn't check Home Depot because it's 45 minutes away but lets just assume they didn't have them. =)
Here's the box of what we started with.. a $12.98 bathroom light fixture with a glass globe...
Darcy no likey.. looks too much like a bathroom. So we flipped it up-side-down and got a $5.98 shade to go on top of it.
We now have lamps beside our bed for $20 a whop. LOVE them too..
*Don't be afraid of auctions, craigslist.com and Goodwill/Salvation Army furniture. I know I have gotten in the mind-set before that I DESERVE new stuff. Maybe because when I left my parents house they were buying newer furniture... it's what I was used to. Um, my parents were married 30 years and both worked at the time! THEY deserved new stuff! That's not how they started their marriage!!! Used stuff is just as cool and the art of FINDING it and making it look new is the best part. The below picture is our dining room table and four chairs purchased for $25 at my grandpa's auction.Did it look like this when we purchased it? Um, good heavens no. It was pea green. Darin sanded the top down for me (um, found out it was MOHAGANY!) and stained it and I painted the chairs and the base of the table black. We also have couches in our living room that I sewed covers for about $100 worth of fabric. You guys can do it.. I KNOW it!!!
OTHER RANDOM Savin's
*Did you know that ALL YMCA's offer scholoarships? They look at your income and give you a discount accordingly. Like even on swim lessons and stuff. Totally looking into this. =)
*Verizon Wireless gives 10-12% monthly discounts to teachers. Woah.
*I know I've got some of my past gymnasts reading.. Hi Jeni, Kristin, Laura and Sarah!!! (Sorry if I forgot someone or didn't know you read!!!) This is KEY for a college budget. When you go out to dinner, forget ordering the soda. They are like $1.99-2.49 a whop now. Since college I made my own lemonaid at restaurants. Order water with extra lemon and squeeze the lemon juice into the H20 and add some sugar or sweetner from the table. I drink a ton more water this way and only God knows how much money I've saved in 10 years of doing this! (And another tip.. my dad has ALWAYS taught me to tip as if I got a soft drink.. the server does just as much work with you ordering water so be nice to your servers!!!)
*On another tipping note.. I have a degree in Hospitality/Tourism from Purdue. Went through quite a bit of restaurant courses and did you know you are supposed to tip "PRE" tax? Yep! Take the amount of your bill BEFORE tax was added and tip accordingly. Here in IN tax is 7% so I take whatever my tax is and times it by 3 to tip 21%. Perfect equation for tipping AND it's the pre-tax amount.
*To any readers out there that are married, working, childless and hope to stay at home some day with your future children... live like you are living off one income. Take your income and pay off school loans, car loans, and put the rest of your earnings in savings so that you KNOW what it's like when you will live off one income. Not to mention your debt will be paid down (getting rid of some monthly payments) and it won't be a huge transition when you quit your job. Darin and I did this and man, are we glad we didn't spend what we made when I worked!
*Laundry - today someone gave the statistic that the most expensive thing to run in your house is the dryer.. let's go old style and string up a clothes line in the basement and line dry our clothes, ladies! I'll do it if you are doing it!
I hope this post helped a little bit. I was all riled up when I came home and like I said... there was no way I COULDN'T share this stuff with you!!! Now, if you'd like.. leave a comment and share some of your money saving stuff with us all. We'd love to know what you do to save a buck!!
Last but not least.. just wanted to share a little "ah-ha!" moment I had the other day. I was going through my prayer journal to see my past prayers and how God had answered them. About a year and a half ago I had MANY prayers that my scrapbooking would create some income for our family. I had a few pages published and really wanted some more to be... I know some of my prayers were a tad self-righteous. (Ha.. I LOVE seeing one of my pages in a mag!) I think after about 5 entries of my scrapbooking prayers, my prayer then changed to "God, please let my hobby create some income for our family." Do you know what happened when I actually pushed my own ideas out of the way and let God use me? People started calling me to take their kids pictures. And those people told other people about their pictures and they called me for a shoot. He created Darcy Holsopple Photography. He DID use my hobby for income for my family... just not the hobby I assumed He's use.
Guys, God provides.. He'll never promise that things will be easy and that you'll always have enough money.. He promises to PROVIDE.. just ask Him to!!!

Clarins Contouring Perfection
Contour is all about tricking the eye into thinking there's shadows and depth to the face, when there really isn't. You can instantly make your face appear thinner, pop out some new cheekbones or even give yourself a nose job (without surgery) all with the swipe of a brush. Although contour is a huge trend right now, some shy away from it, in fear of looking like their playing with their mom's makeup. Adding shape to your face doesn't have to be that hard, with the correct products, tools and techniques. Don't be fooled into purchasing a ton of products to get that perfect cheekbone or flattering contrast to the eyes.
The goal to contouring is to look as natural as possible. You don't want to look over-done or too-contoured. A general rule of thumb is adding a slightly darker shade will make your features recede and appear smaller, whereas a lighter shade will make areas pop out. By applying contour and highlights to specific areas of your face, you'll be able to change your entire look. The Clarins limited edition Face Contouring Palette features 3 universal shades that allow you to highlight, contour and add a healthy rosy glow to your cheeks. It's designed for all women, is easy to use and features everything you need all in one convenient palette.
Look for a matte contour shade to help re-shape your face. The shading powder found within the Clarins Face Contouring Palette isn't too light or dark. Keep in mind, your ideal contour shade should be a few shades deeper than your natural skin tone. Remember to also look for a shade that isn't too warm, in fear of looking orange. This contour shade is slightly greyish, creating perfect depth to the face. Its rich and creamy formula is easy to apply, blends out beautifully and is extremely pigmented.
Apply the product where shadows would normally be found. Suck in your cheeks and use the contour brush found within the packaging to apply the shadow to the hallows of your cheeks, directly underneath your cheekbones. You can also place some product on the temples of your forehead, as close to your natural hairline as possible. To sculpt out your nose, run the brush down both sides of your nose, along with the bottom of your chin, along your jawline. The most important step is the blend. The goal is to illuminate any harsh line. A strong contour cheek is great for photography, but not every day looks.
Highlighting is just as important as contouring, in fact, you can't have one without the other. The highlight helps to balance out your contour and give a natural finish to your complexion. The highlight shade found within the Clarins Face Contouring Palette is completely matte and a nice alternative to a super intense glow we've seen for seasons. Apply your highlight to areas of the face that would most likely get sun-kissed by the sun. Think down the bridge of your noise, top of cheekbones, top of your brow, cupid's bow and just below your lower lip (middle of the chin).
To achieve that perfect flushed cheek, apply the peachy nude shade to the apples of your cheeks. This will help make your beautiful face glow and look incredibly healthy. The thing to keep in mind, is not to smile. This can bring up your cheeks and the blush will appear too low. You want the powder to be placed in the same area where you'd naturally feel flushed. Clarins Face Contouring Palette retails for $49.
Don't be afraid to play with light and shade to create depth to the eyes. The Clarins 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Smoky Eye features 3 richly pigmented charcoal shades, alongside an illuminating pearly white. It's designed for eye contouring thanks to its 2 cool-tone contour shade, slightly deeper grey shade, perfect for defining, and then a highlight shade to really make the eyes pop. It's created with carnauba wax to help provide a seamless, flawless and long-lasting finish. It features an incredibly rich and creamy, incredibly soft, finely-milled texture that's extremely lightweight. You can easily achieve true colour payoff in a single stroke. Each shade can be used dry for a subtle wash of colour, or dampened to help intensify the results. It retails for $45.
Clarins 4-Colour All-in-One Pen is leaving me feeling incredibly nostalgic. I can still remember taking rainbow notes in elementary school with my retractable 4-colour pens. The brand has jumped on the 90's bandwagon and created an adult version of this pen that you'll want to play with each day. It takes the same concept as the novelty pen and applies it to your makeup routine. Instead of the barrels being filled with ink, it's filled with rich and creamy eye and lip liners.
With a click of the button, the Clarins 4-Colour All-in-One Pen shades will help to sculpt the eyes and contour the lips. It's formulated with sunflower, jojoba and black acacia waxes to provide eyelids and lips with extreme comfort. It features a classic black to achieve the perfect cat-eye, chocolate brown to warm up the eyes, indigo blue to enhance your natural eye colour and to have fun with colour, along with a universal nude shade to line your lips. Although I might not be carrying around pens in my backpack, I will be bringing this all-in-one, compact and portable liner in my purse. It retails for $44.
To create a multi-faceted smile, apply an even layer of Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant. It features a tiny amount of fine pearls and shine boosters to help amplify the refection of light to add both dimension and luster. It's all about subtle colour with a sparkling, shiny, glossy finish. This lippie is enriched with marsh samphire extract and mango oil to help soften, nourish and moisturize the lips. It's lightweight, hydrating and long-wearing. It comes in 3 new shades, Tender Nude, a pinky-beige, Pink Fuchsia, a bright pink fuchsia and Soft Plum, a luminous plum. It retails for $29 each.

Oops, correct my last review.....I used fresh asparagus. I steamed it and then put it under cold water and proceeded with the recipe....Outstanding!!

This was my first time on recipe4living and I decided to try this Asparagus Chicken Casserole......followed it to a T and it was DELICIOUS! Great flavor, nice presentation and everyone was really impressed with it. Thanks and I look forward to doing more of these recipes!

Is it OK to use CANNED Asparagus instead of frozen?
Flag as inappropriate SpencerMansion | October 24, 2009
I tried it. Took a package of corn bread stuffing mix, moisted that with reduced-sodium chicken soup and mixed well. Added more soup if seemed to dry.
Flag as inappropriate janettelda | May 19, 2008
I see no reason to dredge the chicken in flour, and fry it in butter. I would saut? or lightly brown chicken breasts in 1T olive oil. One could even add seasonings to chicken before saut?ing.

This recipe was better than we expected. The sauce was delicious over rice and the asparagus was a nice compliment. Very nice dish for company. Love it & will make it again.

A former community center manager in San Bernardino's anti-crime program was sentenced this morning to 28 years in state prison in his child molestation case.
Mike Miller, 50, was sentenced according to a plea bargain that he had initiated with prosecutors. As part of that agreement, he admitted in March to 10 felony counts of committing a lewd act with a child and one count of a forcible lewd act.
Dressed in green jail garb, Miller sat and listened as one of the victims addressed the court at his sentencing hearing in San Bernardino Superior Court.
"You are not a human being. You have no heart or soul. No regret, no remorse and no conscience for what you did for so many years," the victim read from a statement to the court.
Prosecutors had accepted Miller's offer after consulting with the victims and their families. The resolution to the case means the victims will be spared from having to testify in public at a criminal trial, according to Deputy District Attorney Lynn Poncin.
Miller had managed an Operation Phoenix community center located on North Sierra Way at what is now Master's Plan Church of the Nazarene.
Miller was arrested in July 2008. Prosecutors initially charged him with 24 felony counts, which included one each of committing a forcible lewd act with a child and possessing child pornography. The remaining 22 counts were for committing lewd acts with a minor.
