I am always up for a new chicken recipe. I love marinating chicken in Kraft's Sun Dried Tomato dressing and throwing it on the grill. Thanks for linking up with DIY under $5!

Perfect for those of us that live in Nebraska (where Dorothy Lynch originated)! You can find this at any grocery store. I'm trying this soon. :) Thanks for the recipe!

We found a love for this dressing since we moved to Nebraska too!! Thanks for the recipe. I didn't have the ingredients for the chicken recipes I was finding, so I searched for one with Dorothy Lynch. Haa Haa

Anyone ever tried skipping the first hour without dressing? I'm am using boneless breasts and think it would be easier to just cook in a crock pot or longer with the dressing? Interested to know....I'm gonna just wing it and try it in the crockpot today.

A panel of 3,000 consumers and 39 "experts" have decided upon what they believe to be the UK's coolest brand, with discount DIY superstore Wickes winning the crown. Actually, no. It was Apple. They chose Apple. They always choose Apple.
The entirely predictable winner and "coolest" UK brand was chosen ahead of YouTube, which was voted the second coolest name in the UK thanks to, er, its collection of amateur make-up application tips and bootleg football clips.
For some bizarre reason luxury motor maker Aston Martin managed to sneak in to third place, although we doubt any of the 3,039 voters and fashionable CoolBrands panel members are particularly familiar with its vehicles. Fourth supposedly coolest UK brand was Twitter, with Google in fifth in this meaningless contest, surely designed only to grab some publicity in the iPhone 5 launch window. [BBC]

Sunday, December 23, 2012
Imagine my surprise, then, when I was looking through some old family photos and came across this:
That's the house I grew up in when it was brand new, and the pram on the front lawn contains my sister, Mary, then an infant and as new as the house. And in the driveway, my dad's relatively new Ford Custom coupe.
I had to consult my copy of The American Auto to come to this revelation, and since was shot from the back, I can't tell whether it's the 1949 version with the single chrome bullet in the middle of the grille or the 1951 model with the "dual-bullets." Here's a photo of the earlier version, taken at Deerfield Village's Motormuster earlier this year - a beautifully restored example with whitewalls in a shade of green that I'll always associate with the '50s as it ramped up into economic cruise control.
I don't need to tell you what I'd give to own this car today. It would, to be sure, be a beast to own - constantly in need of costly repairs with parts that I'd be scrounging all over the internet. I doubt if it has power steering, and even for its size I imagine its handling might be less than elegant. And let's not talk about the mileage, or having to garage it for four months of the year so it doesn't shatter into shards of rust and scrap after one too many winters of road salt and slush. In my dreams, though, I'm driving it along the St. Lawrence on the way to the Maritimes to visit family, the trunk loaded with luggage, the kids in the back, the radio playing Perez Prado.
What I don't understand, however, is my instinctive love of this less-than-outstanding car. There's no way I'd have remembered it - by the time I came along, it had been replaced by the Buick LeSabre my dad bought around the time I was born, and which sat in the garage for years after he died, four years later. I don't recall anyone in the family talking about the Ford much, never mind telling me its make and model, but there it is, nonetheless, sitting on the concrete driveway at 41 Gray Avenue over a decade before I was born, and already worming its way into my car consciousness. A true mystery, and one I'll likely never be able to explain.

I feel the same affection for Mustangs, because my otherwise irritating, unlovable grandmother always owned them -- and the cool ones, too, not the modern ugly ones.ReplyDelete
Paid cash, too. Scottish. Being very short, she had to use numerous cushions to reach the steering wheel. And she was one of the worst drivers I ever met. But still...Replies
I wouldn't say the 1949 Ford Mustang is less than outstanding. This car model made its mark during the 40's and the 50's. It had been advertised as having a "lifeguard body." In the years after it was introduced, it had been completely integrated with rear fenders and a very distinct styling approach.ReplyDelete
Stelle Courney
Oh wow! That was indeed an old photo, huh! Anyhow, in its earlier picture, you can really see how awesome and stunning a 1949 Ford Custom coupe is. It was beautifully restored! Without a doubt, that classic must've been well taken care of.ReplyDelete

How many times have you wished there was a coffee delivery service that would deliver fresh coffee beans to your door? I know it's not just me! (also, I think I've wished there was a wine delivery service, and I am positive it's not just me!).
Enter Coast to Coast Coffee! They have recognized the need for a delivery service that brings the good stuff (or the 'nectar of life' as I call it) directly to your mail box. That's right: freshly roasted, Organic and Fair Trade coffees can now be ordered online and delivered to you- no matter where you live in Canada!
And the BEST PART? Delivery is FREE!!!!
What I love the most about Coast to Coast Coffee is that they are not only providing superior quality organic and fair trade coffees (roasted and shipped the same day you order for peak freshness), but they are offering convenience and quality at amazing prices.
Having lived in a very rural town in Saskatchewan, I understand how hard it is to get really good coffee beans at a really good price. And even now that I live in a major city centre, I still struggle with finding a high quality coffee that I can brew and enjoy at home.
Coast to Coast Coffee takes care of all those needs and they're Canadian to boot!
We ordered our first batch of coffee beans and had them in our mailbox within 3 days! Service, right?
|How our beans arrived- freshly roasted and ready to be enjoyed!
And truthfully, the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans in the morning is a reason to get out of bed. Even better, fresh roasted coffee is naturally sweeter and higher in antioxidants than the stale, canned stuff you buy at the store.
|Can you smell the delicious freshly ground coffee aroma through your screen?
|Heaven in a cup!
Check out their offerings at www.coasttocoastcoffee.ca and try them out today! I can personally guarantee that you won't be disappointed!

I really love how this book deals with present day issues involving teens, especially teen girls. This is a rough read but a good one and one I would recommend to reader teens and adults.
Stacey is a bright, talented girl who battled weight trouble in her past. She has so many inner demons due to some traumatizing moments in her young childhood, and she can't seem to shake them. Because of this she isn't comfortable in her own skin, and while others see her as pretty she just sees fat. Her friend Zoe is on a diet and continuously encourages Stacey on her dieting journey. However, Stacey takes things to far with her dieting and begins purging food. She becomes clever in her ways of hiding food and making it seem like she is eating when she isn't, and nobody is none the wiser in her presence. She wears baggy clothes to hide her weight so nobody needs question her. In love with her boyfriend Calvin she fears losing him most of all, but can't get her thoughts and actions straight enough to make all well between them.
Calvin is a teen boy who helps his father work their farm. Recently losing his older brother he has his own demons to battle in the sense of emotion and loss. Hardly wanting to deal with life's harsh realities his dirtbike and girlfriend Stacey are his only moments of release and happiness. His dirtbike is ancient and begins to have problem after problem. If that isn't enough of a worry for Calvin his girlfriend Stacey begins to act unlike herself. He notices a few signs where she doesn't eat and he begins to worry about the amount of weight she is losing. When she starts passing out and he figures out some of her secrets of hiding or getting rid of food it's like a punch in the stomach. He urges her to see a doctor and stop the madness but she shrugs him off. He just can't bear to lose another person he loves in his life so he struggles with what should be done to save Stacey.
My favorite thing about this book is that the author hits a major issue head on. Anorexia, bulimia, eating disorders, etc., is something a lot of teens these days are going through. Media tends to portray "beautiful" as super skinny. We see it everywhere: magazines, commercials, movies, fashion, etc. In reality few realize that everyone is beautiful and nobody was created to be the same, but due to everything our impressionable teens are seeing it's hard for them to realize that they are all beautiful in their own way. Teens do not understand the dangers of eating disorders and generally become good at hiding them from loved ones. Not only does this book show some of the beginning signs of anorexia and health risks, but it shows that if someone you love needs help you have to just be there and get them help. Often teens with these disorders do not see them as a disorder and they do not see anything wrong with their train of thought. I love that this book does not sugarcoat anything of the teen lifestyle but keeps things at a clean level without getting too graphic. I felt this is a novel very real and down to earth. The author does a fabulous job of writing so you find yourself lost in the story, and characters.
I love the balance between these two main characters. Stacey is passionate and outgoing while Calvin is more reserved and laid back. The characters are so different but mesh so well, and reading that was wonderful.
I was hoping to read more about some of the other characters in the book. I felt left hanging when it came to Stacey's sister Renee, as well as with Calvin's friends Tyler and Flannery. I would have liked just a little bit more when it came to them, but maybe they will end up with their own stories, who knows?
I love the faith in this book. No matter how hard things get and no matter how often a lot of these characters want to give up they pray and let God lead them. It's a great way to show teens that God can always overcome any obstacle, and with God they can overcome anything.
This book is available in Print Kindle Nook

12. Ancilla Trent (The Nonesuch)
Tempting as it is, I am not going to comment upon the fact that Miss Trent's parents appear to have blessed her with a name that makes her sound less like a romantic heroine, and more like a management consultancy partnership offering advisory services to the water and sewerage sector. Nor will I comment on the fact that she appears to live in a house named after one of the more humble classes of stationery consumables. After all, hard though it is to conceive, neither business consultants nor document binding solutions existed during the Regency, and Ancilla's parents must have had their reasons, much as her grandfather must have done when he named one of his sons after a chemical used in the dying process and still managed to spell it wrong. And if Ancilla can, as she makes quite clear, earn £150 a year as a Governess, her name cannot have been much of a hindrance.
Nor am I going to dwell much upon the bucolic delights of the village of Oversett, where our tale unfolds. It does not take much knowledge of the field of place name studies to conclude that a village bearing such a name must be a traditional home of badgers, but it rapidly becomes clear that this is no mere philological hangover. While the locals consisted merely of Shilbottles, Tumbys, Wrangles and Butterlaws one could imagine that this part of the country was no more than an outpost of Tolkien's Shire, but as soon as Mrs Underhill (an even more hobbity name than the rest), who, we should not forget, pays Ancilla £150 a year, contemplates sending a card to the Badgers we have an inkling that Yorkshire is not a lost corner of Middle Earth, but a hidden tendril of Narnia.
As this is a series of essays on heyeroines, it is not the place to dwell unduly upon our hero, except to note that in any civilised age a man with the outrageous name of Waldo Hawkridge, who combines a tendency to do a great deal for charidee with not liking to talk about it, could only be a disk jockey. Should we conclude from this that today's DJs are the spiritual descendents of the Corinthian set? Is there something about the precise control of the wheels of a phaeton that is transferable to the spinning of twin turntables? Would that other great Corinthian, Beau Wyndham, be happy doing the breakfast show or would he insist on the drive time slot? Alas, we shall never know.
But let us return to Miss Trent. I do not consider that she merits a slap simply for being tediously, relentlessly, unflappably nice. Nor can I condemn her for being the only woman in Oversett between the schoolroom and late matronhood (although I, and possibly the Bow Street Runners, would be interested to know what she did with all the other marriageable females of the village). Furthermore I will excuse her for having acquired a reputation for being able to manage the tantrums and hissy fits of the dreadful Miss Theophania Wield, despite showing no evidence that she has managed to achieve the slightest sustainable improvement in Tiffany's behaviour (and for which skill she pockets £150 a year).
No. Eminently censurable though these faults are, they pale into insignificance beside Miss Trent's greatest fault, which is this: she indulged in a Big Misunderstanding, and that is unforgiveable.
Here we have a woman whose analytical capabilities are such that from nothing but a crumpled riding habit, a hysterical maid and a missing bandbox she can determine that her charge has visited the vicarage, learned of an engagement that Ancilla herself did not know for sure had been entered into, returned home, and tricked a visitor to the area into carrying her to Leeds with the express intent of taking the stage to London to stay with an uncle. All entirely accurate. Yet at the same time we must suppose her so wet-goosish that, from an ambiguous passing remark by a man that she knows to be loose of tongue and far from steadfast in his views, she conjures up an inexplicably gothic image of a well-regarded and exceptionally mannered man of whom she has become fond as some devil-may-care rakehell capable of leaving a trail of by-blows across the country, and so devoid of sensibility that he can contemplate rounding them up and housing them in a country house in the
I am afraid that it is all coming it a bit strong.

That's all from Football 9-5 this week.
Keep on eye on the MailOnline Sport page for live commentary from tonight's FA Cup action featuring Arsenal and Coventry.
Have a top weekend and thanks for tuning in.
RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Cardiff are likely to announce the signing of Ivan Ramis from Wigan on Saturday after holding off competition from relegation rivals Crystal Palace.
The 29-year-old is believed to have agreed personal terms on Friday and will become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's fourth signing since he took over from Malky Mackay. Sportsmail understands Wigan will receive in the region of £1.5million for the former Spain Under 21 defender, barring any unexpected glitches in the paperwork.
Palace boss Tony Pulis was keen to land the Spaniard, but Cardiff offered a substantially better wage package.
Ramis has only made seven appearances for the Latics in the Championship this season after rupturing cruciate ligaments in his right knee in a Premier League game at Fulham last January.
Cardiff have completed the signing of Norweigan forward Jo Inge Berget on a two-and-a-half year dea
Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: 'I'm delighted to welcome Jo to the club. He's a forward and arrives on a very good deal for us.
'He knows the way I want to play, he's a secondary frontman and is a very strong and intelligent footballer. He'll do well for us.'
West Ham are hoping that striker Ross McCormack can help bolster the club's strikeforce.
Sam Allardyce has made a £3.1m bid for the Leeds skipper.
Becks in kecks! Former England and United star strips off for new underwear range to be aired during Super Bowl
When it comes to posing in pants, few celebrities are better equipped for the job than David Beckham.
The former Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and Paris St Germain midfielder has been strutting his stuff in the latest underwear campaign for H&M.
The 38-year-old is seen posing in a variety of smalls for the high-street store, showing he has maintained his toned physique despite putting his playing days behind him.
35% - West Ham have fired the lowest percentage of shots on target of any team in the Premier League this season. Duck.
Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien will arrive in Italy tonight to complete a move to AC Milan.
The Italian club confirmed Essien's arrival on their official website.
The Ghana international is keen on a move abroad and his agents held lengthy talks with the Serie A club on Thursday as they look to agree terms.
The 31-year-old was also considered by West Ham as they continue to weigh up midfield options.
Laurie Whitwell: Tottenham youngster Alex Pritchard has been watched by Huddersfield and Wolves scouts during his loan spell at Swindon and both clubs are contemplating making a bid.
Tim Sherwood knows Pritchard well from his days heading the Spurs academy and would be reluctant to let him leave - especially given his desire to build an English core in the first-team - but would consider offers of £500,000 for the 20-year-old. He has five goals and 14 assists in 31 appearances for Swindon this season, playing mainly from the wing.
Craig Hope: Laurent Blanc has indicated that Paris Saint-Germain could switch their attention to Roma's Miralem Pjanic – leaving the door open for English clubs interested in Newcastle's Yohan Cabaye.
The France midfielder has been linked with a £21million return to his homeland and Blanc, his former national team manager, has openly courted the 28-year-old.
However, the PSG boss told a press conference on Friday that Pjanic has emerged as an alternative.
As promised, here is the second half of today's Transfer Column.
Moyes is continuing his European scouting tour, Fulham's bid to sign Defour could be ruined by Schalke and Crystal Palace looking to sign free agent midfielder Sissoko.
Riath Al-Samarrai: Cardiff's move for Wigan defender Ivan Ramis is gaining momentum. Wigan have confirmed to me that a bid has been accepted - I gather it's in the region of £1.5m, though that's not been confirmed. It's understood that the player is already in Wales discussing personal terms.
Brown's back in the big time and ready to maul Hull... but will he deliver a half-time team-talk on the Southend pitch?
Phil Brown hopes to capitalise on the 'special' atmosphere he senses around Roots Hall as he looks to knock his former employees out of the FA Cup.
The 54-year-old faces Hull for the first time since his departure from the KC Stadium in 2010 when the Premier League side travel to Essex for the sold-out fourth-round tie.
Brown took Hull into the top flight for the first time in their history during his four years in charge and after a short spell at Preston he now has the Shrimpers on a real crest of a wave.
We are just a week away from deadline day in the transfer window - and as usual clubs are leaving it to the last minute to get their business done.
In fact so much is going, the transfer column by Simon Jones is in two parts today. Click above to read part one as Hulk targets a move to the Premier League.
...and it doesn't matter on how well (or badly, if your glass is half empty) they perform at the World Cup this summer.
It means they avoid all the traditional big guns such as Germany, Spain, Holland and Italy in qualifying for the main tournament in France, but they could still face a group with Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.

Someone at the Sunderland press conference has said they should think about the treble – the Capital One Cup, the FA Cup and staying in the Premier League!
Colin Young: Paolo Di Canio will appear on Football Focus tomorrow.
And how long will it take the former Sunderland manager to claim credit for the club reaching the Capital One Cup Final?
It promises to be an interesting interview, and no doubt the lawyers will be watching and listening closely too.
Sunderland have been insistent since he left that players have to be careful in their interviews when mentioning the Italian coach who was sacked in September after a dispute with players.
It promises to make the run-up to the March 2 final difficult.
Simon Jones: Marco Borriello of Roma has agreed his contract with West Ham to join on loan for the rest of the season. He is due to have a medical tomorrow.
Colin Young: Gus Poyet has denied claims Lee Cattermole is on his way to Stoke City.
The former Sunderland captain is believed to be wanted by Mark Hughes but Poyet is insistent there has been no offer from his former Chelsea team-mate.
Poyet said: 'Not at all. There have not been any offers and it is very easy to say that. He has been linked with a team we play next week, it is a tricky situation.'
The Sunderland boss will make major changes to his cup final side for Kidderminster Harriers' visit to the Stadium of Light tomorrow.
The big relief for the Sunderland manager, whose side have a crucial relegation clash at home to Stoke on Wednesday, is that they do not have a Barclays Premier League game tomorrow.
Poyet said: 'I would be a bit worried if it was the league with getting back late, the recovery and celebrations and to give the players the chance to win three points would be tough.
Sami Mokbel: Arsenal have begun an intensive scouting drive of homegrown talent as they look to stay within the Premier League's homegrown quota rules.
Regulations state that clubs must name at least eight 'homegrown' players in their squad of 25 for a league season.
And the Gunners are completing more scouting missions to identify the best domestic young talent.
As well as trying to identify players who could go straight into the first team, club scouts are keen to locate younger prosepts who could go in the club's academy set-up, which will be taken over by Andries Jonker this summer.
Among the players that have been scouted in recent weeks are Nottingham Forest defender Jamal Lascelles, Reading keeper Alex McCarthy and Charlton full-back Jordan Cousins.
The club showed a glimpse of their homegrown strategy in the summer by signing England Under 17 international Dan Crowley from Aston Villa.
Likewise, Arsene Wenger counts Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and Carl Jenkinson among his regular first-teamers.
Busy man! Moyes in Germany to watch Bayern defender Dante as United boss looks to bolster squad even further
David Moyes is looking to continue his January spending by taking another European scouting trip - this time to see Bayern Munich defender Dante on Friday night for their match at Borussia Monchengladbach.
With £37million Juan Mata on his way to United, Moyes is seeking to reverse the bad feeling at Old Trafford with the kind of marquee signings that were absent during the summer.
A club official at Borussia Monchengladbach confirmed to SZ Sport on Friday that Moyes is going to the game, and it is also thought that the United boss could be keeping an eye on Monchengladbach midfielder Patrick Herrmann.
Simon Jones: AC Milan midfielder Antonio Nocerino has arrived in London for his medical at West Ham.
Sir Alex Ferguson claims it is up to managers to stop their players diving and insisted his influence at Manchester United stopped Cristiano Ronaldo and Ashley Young from persisting with play-acting.
I have tried to address it myself with some of my players over the years. When Cristiano first joined us he had that dramatic action but he listened very carefully that you can't do that and he improved tremendously and has been an even better player because of it.
'We had an issue with Ashley Young last year or two years ago and he's tried hard to address it.
'It's up to the coaches, I think they have got to influence players that they have to be better than that.'
With Mata on the verge of being United's record buy, we take a look at the previous top Old Trafford transfers... but were they costly errors or worth the splash?
Manchester United are poised to smash their transfer record to sign Juan Mata from Chelsea for £37million.
Click on the link above for Sportstmail's rundown of United's previous record signings and a look at how well they have done in justifying the expense.
VIDEO: Think the game's gone soft? CLICK HERE to watch a Brazilian defender kick his opponent in the chest...
The game's gone soft, people say. You can't even breathe on an opponent nowadays without them throwing themselves to the floor.
Not in Brazil, where a recent match between the youth teams of Novo Hamburgo and Internacional featured one of the worst challenges in recent memory.
Novo Hamburgo defender Luis Henrique hurtled in to clear the ball but followed through into the chest of Inter striker Rapinha who understandably went down holding his torso.
Riath Al-Samarrai: Cardiff defender John Brayford has joined Sheffield United on loan. He was signed by Malky Mackay for an initial £1.75m from Derby in the summer and played no Premier League games. His transfer was one of the Mackay deals criticised by owner Vincent Tan.
Laurie Whitwell: The poor drainage system at the Valley has meant postponements to matches and led to Charlton being on a run of five away games in a row.
Chris Powell joked that with a new owner - in the form of Belgian entrepreneur Roland Duchatelet - he might ask for money towards a hotel in between upcoming fixtures to save on travelling to and from south London.
The boss has had his wish granted, with a Yorkshire stopover after the FA Cup match with Huddersfield tomorrow preceding Charlton's clash with Doncaster on Tuesday night. A trip to Wigan follows a week tomorrow, meaning five away games in just 14 days.
Charlton lost their first to Middlesbrough last Saturday before beating Oxford in an FA Cup replay on Tuesday night. Freshness is a dilemma for Powell, who said: 'We may shorten the training. We have to make sure everyone is ready to play.'
Vauxhall Motors have agreed a deal with Liverpool to be come the club's official automotive partner until the end of the 2015/16 season.
Liverpool Managing Director Ian Ayre said: 'We are delighted to welcome Vauxhall on board as a partner of Liverpool FC.
'They have highly credible football credentials and a reputation for engaging sponsorship activation.'
Colin Young: Sunderland's new signings Santiago Vergini and Oscar Ustari will make their debuts for the club in their FA Cup clash at home to Kidderminster Harriers.
Expecting confirmation of the team changes from Gus Poyet within the hour
Riath Al-Samarrai: Michael Laudrup has spoken with Chico Flores and Garry Monk about their training ground row last week.
Sportsmail revealed that tensions escalated so much between the defensive pair that a member of the public called the police to their Landore base.
No action was taken by the police, but Laudrup admitted he has spoken to the players to clear the air.
He said: 'Laudrup said: 'It is never good when you have incidents but I played many years myself and it happens sometimes for one reason or another. You always read about them when things are not going well on the pitch with results.
'I have spoken to them both and I believe in dialogue. When people are back with a normal pulse like all of us here we can discuss it. People have to get calm again.
'Both players, particularly Chico, wanted to close this, we have to look forward and say sorry.'
That's one way of beating the traffic! Podolski arrives at Arsenal over NINE hours before FA Cup clash with Coventry
For anyone who has attended a fixture including one of London's top flight teams on their home patch, transport congestion is often an issue.
But as Arsenal prepare to kick off this weekend's FA Cup fixtures at home to Coventry, Lukas Podolski has found a way to get round the problem.
The Gunners forward arrived at the Emirates Stadium for his side's fourth round clash with the Sky Blues, and took to Instagram and Twitter to show pictures of him inspecting the pitch at the ground.
Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini on... injuries to David Silva and Alvaro Negredo: 'Silva is not 100 per cent so will be rested and Negredo has a shoulder problem. We will see how Alvaro is over the weekend.
'Silva has a small problem with his hamstring – nothing too serious – but he won't play tomorrow as a precaution.
'The initial opinion on Negredo's shoulder injury is that it is not a serious problem. The rest of the squad is available.'
Pellegrini on... Juan Mata's move to Man United: 'Personally I don't agree tgat a player can go from one team to another in the same league at this time of year but rules are rules.'
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on... Mata's move to Man United: 'We allowed Juan to travel and have a medical at Manchester United.
'Sooner rather than later things will be finalised. The offer we have received we feel is the right offer for the quality of player.
'It is a good move for Mata. It is a good move for the Premier League.'
Mourinho on... new recruit Mohamad Salah: 'We were not prepared to replace Juan in the squad, so things moved very fast.
'He's fast, he's creative. We believe if he comes, he will need some time to adapt like Willian did.'
Both Manchester City and Sunderland will wear their home strip in the Capital One Cup in March.
The news was posted on the Capital One Cup twitter feed: 'We can confirm both @MCFC & @SAFCofficial in will be wearing their traditional home colours in the #CapitalOneCup Final'
Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho has been named Manchester City's player of the month for December.
'My first two months was a little bit difficult but now I feel good and my performance is good,' said Fernandinho.
City are due to hold their press conference any moment so stay tuned to hear from Manuel Pellegrini.
Happy 27th birthday to @luis16suarez!
While Moyes makes a dog's dinner of United job, Giggs serves up a treat for Neville, Butt and Corrie stars at his new restaurant
Playing for Manchester United this season may have left a rather bitter taste in Ryan Giggs' mouth, but dining in his new restaurant alongside some old pals would surely have helped with that.
The 40-year-old United legend is enduring a tough start to life as a player-coach at Old Trafford as David Moyes' side struggle to adjust to life without Sir Alex Ferguson.
The penalty shootout defeat against Sunderland in Wednesday's Capital One Cup semi-final was just the latest embarassment for Moyes, but Giggs put that behind him the following day with the grand opening of his new Manchester eatery.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been appointed as UEFA's coaching ambassador.
UEFA president Michel Platini announced that the former Manchester United manager will work for the European governing body following an executive committee meeting in Nyon, Switzerland, on Friday.
Ferguson, regarded as one of the most successful managers of all time, retired as United boss in May after winning his 13th league title with the club.
Platini told a news conference: 'Sir Alex will be chairman of the forum of elite coaches that meet every year. He wil also be a member of the technical study group of the Champions League and the European Championship.'
Ferguson said: 'It is an honour and a privilege to accept this role as ambassador for UEFA.'
Hull will be without cup-tied record signings Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long for the FA Cup fourth-round trip to Southend.
The absence of the £14million means Yannick Sagbo and Matty Fryatt will be hoping to impress at Roots Hall.
Manager Steve Bruce will rotate his starting XI but is without Tom Huddlestone (suspended), James Chester (hamstring), Robbie Brady (groin) and Sone Aluko (Achilles).
A little dickie bird tells me there is more good news for United fans coming soon! #tease
Dani Osvaldo has been branded 'arrogant' following his shocking clash with Southampton team-mate Jose Fonte.
Sportsmail understands the South Coast club are so angry with the incident they are now trying to sell their record signing during the January transfer window.
More details are emerging this morning about the brutal fight between the Saints pair.
'He (Dani) is not the most popular of people among the football staff,' said a Saints insider.
'He has not done much to get along with his team-mates and hasn't made much of an effort to contribute to the team-spirit.
'He comes across as arrogant and that he is too good for the club and that has rubbed players up the wrong way.
Juan Mata has been a treat to watch since he arrived from Valencia. He is a truly gifted footballer but Chelsea have without question been a much better and more competitive unit without him this season. Chelsea are in the thick of the title race, which they weren't when Mata was orchestrating matters. Mata was for two years the best player in a team which struggled to finish in the top four. They won the CL in 2012 but the key contributions in the big games came from old-stagers like Petr Cech and Didier Drogba and from hard-runners like Ramires.
I really hope Mata excels at Manchester United and recaptures his form but I think Chelsea have done good business to get £37m for someone who wasn't in the team, or especially close to getting in the team any more.
Also interesting that many of the voices aghast at Chelsea's decision to sell were those criticising madcap owners like Vincent Tan for quickly turning on their managers. Roman Abramovich adores Mata but has backed his manager Jose Mourinho. He may be much maligned, often with reason, but he has backed his football man in a football matter. This is not something he has always done. Yest, who wouldn't back Mourinho? He has earned this right over a decade of success. Whatever you think of him, he has the formula for building a successful team. If Mourinho thinks there's no room for Mata and Oscar and he prefers Oscar (not a bad player, after all) he's probably worth listening to. It might not play the prettiest football but it will challenge for titles and Chelsea have clearly decided that challenging for titles is slightly more important to them than the foolhardy pursuit of total football.
Laurie Whitwell: Fulham are still keen on signing Liam Moore despite having two bids for the England Under-21 defender rejected by Leicester. Jeffrey Schlupp is also on Rene Meulensteen's radar and a joint bid for the pair is understood to have been turned down.
Fulham rejected an initial offer of £2million for Moore alone and want a substantial improvement even though the 20-year-old only has 18 months left on his deal, which has seen a re-negotiation clause come and go.
Meulensteen was impressed by Schlupp when he spent a week training with Manchester United last January but moves for Swansea's Neil Taylor may affect any pursuit.
Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer distanced himself from speculation over a bid for Wilfried Zaha.
The Norweigan said: 'Ask Manchester United about him, he is a Man United player. I can't comment on players who are at other clubs. Nothing has been concluded apart from Berget.
'So far, I have brought in three full internationals who will be good value for money in the long term. They may not have played in the Premier League but I know them and they are full internationals.
''There have been loads of players I have wanted but the price tags are not realistic. We have one or two bids in, yes.'
Sami Mokbel: Crystal Palace are counting the cost of another failed transfer with Wigan defender Ivan Ramis almost certain to join Cardiff.
Tony Pulis was hoping to sign Ramis before next week's transfer deadline, but looked to have missed out on the former Real Mallorca player.
It is understood the Bluebirds have offered a significantly better wage package than Palace.
Pulis is growing increasingly frustrated in this transfer window with Palace yet to land a single reinforcement ahead of the relegation battle.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers hasn't given up hope of signing Mohamed Salah - despite Chelsea announcing they had swooped for the Basle winger on Thursday.
'I'm not sure whether that deal is definitely done yet or not,' Rodgers told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast Show on talkSPORT.
'The young guy is a good player. We have tracked him for a number of months, the club has been watching him and I have been to watch him.
'It is one where the agent of the player and the clubs were talking but if the deal can't be done, the deal can't be done.
'I know the club has been working very hard to get players in. I'll leave that to them and see how they get on.'
Riath Al-Samarrai: Here's one for the strange injuries file. Oxford City goalkeeper Victor Francoz has hurt himself after falling out of a tree he had climbed to save a cat.
The 23-year-old suffered a bad calf wound after falling out of the tree – and got no sympathy from his manager, Mike Ford.
Ford said: 'It's ridiculous. I've not got any sympathy for him at all because he's done it to himself.
'He fell out of a tree when he was trying to get a cat. He's got a deep cut and unfortunately now we don't have Victor because he's gone back to France for a couple of weeks to have treatment.
'You just don't get professional players climbing trees.'
Crystal Palace have made an offer to sign Brighton winger Will Buckley.
The Eagles are waiting for a response from their bitter rivals as they look to bolster their squad and avoid relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
The Daily Mirror report that Palace boss Tony Pulis has offered in the region of £1.5million for the 24-year-old, and Sportsmail understands this to be true.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed he is in talks with Molde midifelder Jo Inge Berget, but it's my understanding a contract could be signed as soon as this morning. He will be the third past or present Molde player to link up with Solskjaer after Magnus Eikrem and Mats Daehli.
Solskjaer said: 'He (Berget) only has four or five months left on his contract so it is a good deal for us. He is strong, clever and scored against England in the Under 21 Championships. He will do well for us.'
Now this is romance... Coventry's 1987 FA Cup diving header hero Houchen hoping for upset at the Emirates (and he should know all about those!)
Craig Hope: It is perhaps the most photographed goal in FA Cup history – a journeyman striker taking leave of the Wembley turf before planting home a diving header for the underdogs on final day.
It was captured from every angle; from the strained sinews of the scorer to the ghastly despair of defenders.
There is, though, one frame favoured by the star of the shot...
One Direction star Louis Tomlinson will play a game for Doncaster Rovers next month.
Gavin Baldwin, Chief Executive of Doncaster Rovers, said: 'We are very much looking forward to Louis making his Rovers debut and I know that he can't wait either.
'Louis has an incredibly busy schedule and we have been working hard with him to ensure we can get a date in his diary for the game.'
John Edwards: If the signing of Juan Mata is seen as a statement of intent by Manchester United, another could follow at the end of the season, after it emerged that Edinson Cavani is intent on leaving Paris St Germain.
According to sources at the club, the Uruguay striker is unhappy with the system favoured by Laurent Blanc and has had enough of being used on one flank or the other, to accommodate Zlatan Ibrahimovic as PSG's attacking spearhead.
Evidently, Blanc has done his utmost to make it work and keep Cavani onside, but there is now an acceptance he will be allowed to leave. As previously reported in Sportsmail, PSG will not entertain the idea of selling him this month, but the thought of capturing one of Europe's most accomplished finishers for next season must appeal to United manager David Moyes.
Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on... Jo Inge Berget: 'Yes [we are in talks]. No other additions have been concluded.'
Solskjaer on... club progress: 'We're changing things gradually here. It will take time, but tomorrow will be an important game.'
Solskjaer on... the FA Cup: 'An FA Cup run would be vital for us to build momentum and a good feeling around the camp.'
Solskjaer on... Cardiff's Premier League credentials: 'We've got to build a belief that we fully belong in the Premier League and can compete at grounds like the Etihad and Old Trafford.'
Solskjaer on... Wilfried Zaha: No [he has not had a medical].
Wilfried Zaha has posted a picture on his Instagram account with the caption: 'Journey carries on...'
Is the Manchester United youngster trying to tell us something?
Perhaps Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have some news for us...
Neil Ashton: Chelsea's £11million move for Egypt winger Mohamad Salah is mired in controversy after it emerged he has twice refused to shake hands with Israeli players.
Owner Roman Abramovich, chairman Bruce Buck and director Eugene Tenenbaum are all Jewish and will be concerned by Salah's actions.
The Basle star, who will join Chelsea this weekend after completing a medical, refused to shake the hands of Maccabi Tel Aviv's players in both legs of their Champions League qualifiers last year.
Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is first up in the press conference hotseat this morning.
Questions will undoubtedly focus on his move for Manchester United outcast Wilfried Zaha.
Stay tuned for all the breaking news.
226 - Only two players have a better minutes per goal assist rate than @juanmata10 in @premierleague history. Coup.
JAMIE REDKNAPP: Mata linking up with RVP and Rooney could bring the fear factor back at Old Trafford... but he's not the answer to all of United's problems
Jamie Redknapp: After such a miserable season, Manchester United fans have been crying out for a hero. In Juan Mata, they might just have one.
With confidence at an all-time low after the Sunderland defeat, Mata's signing is a glimmer of hope at Old Trafford.
He's a magician of a player, has a fantastic attitude and he can thread a pass through the eye of a needle. He's a match-winner, but make no mistake, he's not the answer to all of United's problems.

Former England manager Fabio Capello has signed a new deal with Russia to keep him as national manager until after the 2018 World Cup.
The 67-year-old Italian replaced Dick Advocaat in the role in July 2012 and supervised qualification for the 2014 World Cup finals as Russia finished top of Group F, one point ahead of Portugal.
'I am grateful to the president of the RFU and to the Russian minister of sport for their confidence in me,' said Capello.
'I am very pleased to continue working with Russia. We have big plans and I will do everything I can to ensure the Russian fans are happy.'

NICE has recommended that people with B-cell chronic leukaemia (CLL) who have had to stop their first chemotherapy treatment (for example because it was causing side effects or becasue their disease had progressed), may be treated with fludarabine tablets. Fludarabine may be introduced at the stage where poeple with CLL have previously been offered one of the following treatments:
- cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisolone (CHOP)
- cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisolone (CAP), or
- cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone (CVP)
People with CLL should only be given fludarabine by a drip when their condition is such that they are unable to take the tablets.
Your responsibility
The recommendations in this guidance represent the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, health professionals are expected to take this guidance fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients. The application of the recommendations in this guidance is at the discretion of health professionals and their individual patients and do not override the responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian.
Commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to provide the funding required to enable the guidance to be applied when individual health professionals and their patients wish to use it, in accordance with the NHS Constitution. They should do so in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities.
Commissioners and providers have a responsibility to promote an environmentally sustainable health and care system and should assess and reduce the environmental impact of implementing NICE recommendations wherever possible.

Fifty-six Newspapers Around The World In 20 Languages Runs Op-Ed For Climate Action
The UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen has finally arrived and the time for action is now. So says an op-ed in almost 60 newspapers around the world that calls for world leaders to agree on a binding deal that locks in targets for reducing emissions and financing for countries most affected by climate change. The op-ed was written by the Guardian's editorial staff and appears in 20 languages including English, Chinese, Arabic and Russian.The only US paper to run the editorial was the Miami Herald, but the New York Times ran two of its own today--one from the editorial staff and one from economist and op-ed writer Paul Krugman--that called for action now. Krugman continues to make the case that not only can we afford to change our economy over from one that is fueled by dirty fuels to one that runs on clean and green fuels, but that by doing so we'll create jobs and economic progress.
Here's a section of the Guardian's, which is definitely worth a read:
Few believe that Copenhagen can any longer produce a fully polished treaty; real progress towards one could only begin with the arrival of President Obama in the White House and the reversal of years of US obstructionism. Even now the world finds itself at the mercy of American domestic politics, for the president cannot fully commit to the action required until the US Congress has done so.
But the politicians in Copenhagen can and must agree the essential elements of a fair and effective deal and, crucially, a firm timetable for turning it into a treaty. Next June's UN climate meeting in Bonn should be their deadline. As one negotiator put it: "We can go into extra time but we can't afford a replay."

Purple and Silver Christmas
Tuesday, November 5, 2013
For this Christmas card I've stepped away from the traditional reds and greens and tried an elegant silver and purple colour scheme. I liked the result so much I created a full collection of Christmas projects which you can find pictures and complete instructions for in the current edition of the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft Magazine.

Very Pretty Jenn! I like your new very CLEAN header... BarbReplyDelete
A beautiful card Jennifer, but WHAT IS THE SECRET TO THIS SIZZLET!!!!!!!!! No matter how many times I try, it doesn't cut all the openings clean so there are rips & tearing!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks ladies for your comments. Ilene, I run the sizzlet through with a shim I created from the cover card that comes with designer series paper packs. This extra layer seems to help push the sizzlet through better. I also run it through both ways in the big shot before I take it out. Hope these tips help!Delete

Download a photo of the protein donation.
(OKLAHOMA CITY) – Sept., 20, 2016 – On September 19, Tyson Foods donated 34,560 pounds of protein to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to fight childhood hunger in the state. This donation is part of Crest Foods' 28th annual golf tournament, which took place at Oak Tree Gold & Country Club in Edmond. While final donations raised from the tournament will be reported next month, over the last 10 years this event has raised $413,795 and 1,060,012 pounds of food to fight hunger in central and western Oklahoma.
"Partnering with organizations like the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and Crest Foods is important to us in raising awareness about food insecurity in communities all around the U.S.," said Annetta Tirey, corporate social responsibility director for Tyson Foods. "In this community alone, the Regional Food Bank distributes more than 52 million pounds of food and product each year. We're honored to get to be a part of that."
One in four children in Oklahoma has inconsistent access to food. This donation will help fight childhood hunger through Kids Cafe. An afterschool and summer program, Kids Cafe provides food, mentoring, tutoring, and a variety of other activities to nearly 6,000 at-risk children at 37 sites in central and western Oklahoma.
"No child should have to worry about where their next meal will come from," said Rodney Bivens, executive director of the Regional Food Bank. "Hunger can negatively impact children in so many different ways, including their physical and social development. We are grateful to Tyson Foods and Crest Foods for their continued support in the fight against childhood hunger."
Between now and September 30, all gifts to the Regional Food Bank's Food for Kids Program will be matched, up to $150,000, thanks to the Masonic Fraternity of Oklahoma, Top of the World, David Gorham and two anonymous families.
Established in 1980, the Regional Food Bank is the largest private, domestic hunger-relief organization in the state of Oklahoma. Last fiscal year, the nonprofit distributed 52 million pounds of food and products through a network of more than 1,200 charitable feeding programs and schools in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties.
About the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma
The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is the state's largest private, domestic hunger-relief organization and a member of Feeding America's network of Food Banks. The nonprofit provides enough food to feed more than 116,000 hungry Oklahomans each week through a network of more than 1,200 schools and charitable feeding programs in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties. Since its inception in 1980, the Regional Food Bank has distributed nearly 644 million pounds of food to feed Oklahoma's hungry.

Commercial Water Loss Factor
A water loss factor may be applied to non-residential customers that have significant water loss. Water loss is defined as incoming metered water that is diverted away from the town's sewer system, and therefore does not get treated. For example, commercial customers with significant irrigation or water consumed in a product or manufacturing process may qualify for a water loss factor. Customers that have significant water loss can make application to the town for consideration of a water loss factor. The customer will be required to prove significant water loss.
Institutional Water Loss Factor
A water loss factor may be applied to Institutional customers that have significant use of metered water for irrigation purposes. Where there is significant irrigation use, billing will be capped at the maximum of average winter water consumption from November 1st to March 31st of the previous year. In cases where there is no historical data, average winter consumption will be based on similar properties or other relevant measures.

An Economic Superpower in Search of Its Proper Political Role in the Post-Cold War Era
Yasumasa Kuroda
On 19 August 1991, as the first Japan-U.S. Hawaii Conference of Legislators, Scholars, and Journalists began at the Maui Prince Hotel on the island of Maui, we learned of a coup in the Soviet Union. 1 At the conference, former Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita remarked that he was glad not to be in Tokyo as leaders there would be busily consulting with each other as to what the government should do. This revelation, among others, pointed to the absence of an established Japanese foreign policy to deal with key issues of the 1990s. The Gulf crisis was more difficult for Japan to deal with because of its constitutional constraint on the use of military forces abroad.
There are some generalizations that can be made about Japanese foreign policy that were illustrated by the Gulf crisis, in particular, and conditions in West Asia and North Africa, in general. First, Japan had not established a basic policy to deal with emerging world problems, particularly in the post-cold war era, even though it wished to play a greater role commensurate with its economic prowess. This prompted the question: Should Japan send its self-defense forces abroad? Article 9 of its constitution clearly and unambiguously renounced war as a policy instrument; therefore Japan maintained no military forces. The Gulf crisis was the first situation that called for possible military action from Japan. In the past, Japanese policy- making toward the Gulf and West Asia did not include a military component.
Second, the Japanese, because of their language and culture, were structurally nonselection-oriented in relation to Semites and Western-

Upper Milford supervisors Walter Lichtenwalner and Thomas Unser locked horns again at the supervisors' meeting this week over what kind of dump truck the township should buy.
Unser argued that the township should support local industry by buying a more expensive heavy-duty Mack truck.
Lichtenwalner said the Mack truck was not needed. He said the township should purchase the least expensive truck that can do the job.

going boho
loved making these. trends change and i see a modern, sixties feel coming into craft magazines and books. well, the whole concept of handmade and homespun has always been around but the sfifties and sixties were my early years and i got alot of visuals from them. if you visit my home, you will clealry see i have an eclectic taste, but one thing is certain, there are a lot, i mean A LOT of handmade items all over the house, most of them created by myself. i think i have always liked "the homemade home", beginning with the actual structures (tree houses, for example), continuing with the garden and then all inside. i feel houses feel more like homes that way, not so manicured, a bit dysfunctional as we humans are, and, ultimately, more real. so i have begun to practice the handmade more and more as i compost, crochet my own lap blanket, sew my own christmas ornaments, make my own cards, write personalized letters and even hum my own tunes. hope you like them.

Is there a black-and-white shirtless bedroom photo book starring the Smiths coming out that we're not aware of?
Kylie Jenner posted a sweet black-and-white snapshot of her and BFF Jaden Smith on her Tumblr page. The picture shows the two pals hanging out with friends in what looks to be someone's bedroom, with Kylie smirking as a shirtless Smith—who is flaunting his Calvin Klein undies, by the way—sits on her lap with a smile on his face (perhaps because he may be getting a back rub from the E! star?).
With no caption or any details about the photo, it's unclear as to what was going on at the time, but the celeb friends seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Poliça's new EP feels like a bit of a fig leaf - Raw Exit does 'exist' in the sense that there's artwork, a 7-inch and, you know, four new songs. But there's something vaguely unromantic about noting that the songs' primary purpose seems to be as the extra material for a deluxe edition of last year's Shulamith album, and that the actual standalone EP seems to have been spun off as a bit of an afterthought (I guess in the age of iTunes people just buy the extra tracks and don't fret about it, but nonetheless, on some level there must be people who are like 'ooh, a 12-track album? Not for me. Oooh, 16 tracks you say? I'm in!' Which is weird. Maybe.).
Anyhoo, this is 2014 and these are the sort of things that happen, so you know. And the bottom line is that taken on their own, these songs are good, a signal that the clubbier direction Channy Leaneagh's band took with their second LP is now yielding some slightly more interesting results, if perhaps still not quite as potent as the wonderfully muggy avant-R&B of their self-titled debut.
Perhaps the most notable thing about Raw Exit is that Leaneagh's voice has started to emerge from the languid haze of autotune that formerly engulfed it. The fact she was clearly an excellent singer always added a certain frisson to Poliça's work, her altered, entrapped vocals giving her the air of a woman drowning in something or other. Nonetheless, it's pretty gratifying to hear her simply belt it out as she does with the earnest, impassioned cover of John Madara and David White's Dusty Springfield-popularised soul classic 'You Don't Own Me', a moment of generous, straightforward catharsis, a great karaoke performance with a sleek future soul chassis.
Elsewhere title track 'Raw Exit' is stabbing, nagging, wired R&B, with a strung out, late-in-the-night-and-dancing-on-fumes feel - probably the closest in tone to the Shulamith songs. 'Great Regret' is probably the pick of the bunch, a robust, bassy and poised disco number, probably the mod sweepingly dramatic and downright exciting - or at least, excited - thing the band have recorded. And 'Baby Blue' is kind of its opposite, another disco-ish number with vague shades of 'Stayin' Alive' that's enervated by weirdly detuned keyboards and strange slap-bass diversions - it's strangely compelling it its messiness, particularly the oddball plinky-plonky keyboard solo, but it never exactly gets going.
Raw Exit is not a big statement record and I'm not sure there's much point in trying to read the runes with regards to what it spells for the band's future. It's a little on the slight side, a little throwaway, and the odds are that by the time the next Poliça album comes out, we'll have all kind of forgotten that there was a kind of EP out. But you know, fundamentally it comprises four pretty good songs, and there's no arguing with that.

text: The International Monetary Fund has recently issued a note on the possible effects of Britain leaving the European Union. The final referendum is due to take place on 23rd June this year and its results must be respected by the politicians. The IMF says, that Brexit is now the biggest risk in the whole Europe and that the negotiations between the EU and Britain about it may take several years. According to the Fund, such a radical action will hit the real estate prices, stock markets and costs of mortgages and other credits. The uncertainty caused by the possibility of Brexit also has an impact on the investment in Great Britain, both on domestic and foreign. This country is also facing a downfall of the GDP growth. The Fund experts say, that there is a chance for a positive growth, but only if there is no Brexit. Bank of England may be forced to intervene were the real estate prices to remain high, and credit action will be expanding. All those factors combined send an unclear message to people dealing with forex trading. Markets will probably become chaotic after the decision to leave is made, since it means a new era for the European financial net. On the one hand, forex trading is concentrated in the City and one can assume, that such a giant will remain untouched. On the other hand, nothing is now 100% certain. Brexit would also mean lots of trouble for trading platforms, because some difficulties can appear, or even traders may be reluctant to make deals in the risky environment. New situation will also force traders to modify their forex ea. The robots will instantaneous become outdated. All the new behavior patterns will have to be remade by trading platforms and traders themselves. This will surely create large costs and no one knows, if the online forex trading will be as cheap as it is now.

30 Days of Giving Thanks: Day 11
Anyway, today I'm thankful for all those who have put their life on the lines for our freedom, those who have served and continue to serve in our armed forces.
Now, I'm in no way a staunch supporter of wars. I'm totally into peace, but I know there is a time and place to fight for our rights and the rights of those who cannot stand up for themselves, and I know that freedom comes at a cost and I appreciate those who are brave enough to stand up for those freedoms.
I would never have the balls to go into the military. I don't think I'd survive basic training let alone actually have what it takes to go to the front lines of a war torn country. I know people who have been and come back, those who have lost friends and family and even if they don't lose a life, some sacrifice has always been made, whether it be to mind, body, or spirit.
So, men and women of our armed forces, thank you. I'm grateful that you have the courage to stand up and fight for my freedoms.
To those who have served, happy Veterans Day.

But how can you turn fake work into real work? Internationally renowned business consultants Brent D. Peterson and Gaylan W. Nielson explain how to identify needlessly time-consuming and sometimes difficult tasks (which aren't always as easy to spot as they seem) and shift your focus toward rewarding work that will achieve results. With more than twenty years of experience, Peterson and Nielson have successfully helped corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, schools, and community groups increase their productivity and retain talented employees by understanding and using their skills on things that actually matter. They illustrate their advice with stories about real world employees who have been trapped by fake work.
Fake Work offers solutions that will change the way you view work, including how to recognize fake work and how to get out of it, how (and what) to communicate with your colleagues to eliminate fake work, how to recognize and counteract the personality traits that encourage fake work, and how to close the gap between your company's strategies and the work that needs to be done to reach the results critical to your and your company's survival.

Over the past week I've given a number of telephone interviews--usually newspapers calling to get background on my most recent book and to create some unique angle for a story. But the fact is, I have no unique angles. A typical interview usually goes like this.
Q: So tell me, Mr. Alleycat, what was the inspiration behind this book?
A: Frozen pizzas.
Q: Frozen pizzas?
A: Yeah, my son eats a lot of frozen pizzas and if I sell a few books, I can pay my grocery bill.
Q: I see . . . but did you, say, vacation in Paris or some exotic location to gain some inspiration for this one?
A: No, I usually compose my books while I'm riding on my Cub Cadet lawn mower.
Q: You compose books while you mow?
A: Yeah, it cuts down on the time it takes me to type it up. I compose a whole chapter and then I transcribe it later.
Q: I see . . . but surely you must have a source of inspiration. A muse, perhaps?
A: I've got Gomer Pyle. He has some funny quips. Ever seen the show?
Q: Well, er . . . no. Not lately. Anything else you can tell us about yourself?
A: I'm in good shape, for the shape I'm in. I kayak the creek next to my house. I once ate a grilled gopher on a stick.
Q: Anything to do with writing?
A: I've got 350 floppy disks loaded with inane crap that I'm still trying to sell. Wanna buy a short story? An essay? A poem? Got tons of 'em.
Q: I write for a newspaper, sir.
A: I see . . . and how do you feel about that?
Q: (muffled cursing sound)
Q: Well, thanks for your time.
A: Any time, my friend. Any time. Gotta go mow.

Hi all,
A Bumper Issue! As always, if you want to be removed from this email list, or know anyone who would like to be added to it, just let me know.
1. EMAIL ADDRESS CORRECTION: Sorry, there was a minor but crucial error in the email address for the new Irish Astronomical Association President, Philip Baxter: it should be firstname.lastname@example.com.
I also forgot to convey thanks to the outgoing IAA President, Pat O'Neill, for his 3 years service and steady hand on the tiller, but he has not escaped completely, as he takes over from John Hall as treasurer and Membership Secretary. All new subscriptions (and renewals), made payable to the Irish Astronomical Association, should be sent to him at 55 Cranmore Park, Belfast, BT9 6JG. See: www.irishastro.org for details.
2. A. I. Lecture: Irish Man Puts Down Roots in Space
NASA scientist, Dr. Anthony Heijenga, who is Irish by birth, will deliver Astronomy Ireland's Summer Public Lecture, discussing his ground breaking research in space involving the Irish Shamrock plant. The Shamrock is a key element in Dr. Heijenga's research which will pave the way for long-term residency in outer space. Dr. Heijenga's ability to grow the Irish Shamrock in space will have an enormous impact on the success of such long term human presence, which will require sustainable plant growth and the generation of clean, breathable air.
Dr. Heijenga has conducted experiments on satellites, space shuttles, MIR and the ISS and in May 1996 the first specimens of the Irish Shamrock plant were grown in space. Dr. Heijenga and his experiments are a credit to international space research, and also make a notable contribution to Irish scientific research.
The lecture takes place at 8pm this Monday, May 11 in the Physics Building, Trinity College Dublin. Tickets are 7euro (non-members) or 5euro (members and concessions).

5. SOLARFEST at DUNSINK: IFAS in conjunction with Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies (DIAS) are organising a one-day event in Dublin to discuss solar astronomy. The event is called Solarfest 2009 and will take place on Saturday 20th June 2009 at Dunsink Observatory. We are very grateful for the support of DIAS for sponsoring the event and attendance is FREE. Speakers confirmed so far are Deirdre Kelleghan (IFAS), Sally Russell (RAS), Miruna Popescu (Armagh Observatory), Kevin Smith (Practical Astronomer Magazine), Nick Howes (Astronomy Now Magazine) and Michael O'Connell (MAC). Weather permitting, we will have solar observing sessions also. Spaces are limited to 60 seats so if you are interested in attending let Deirdre Kelleghan know as soon as possible ( firstname.lastname@example.com ).
6. THE SUN AWAKES? NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is monitoring an active region hidden behind the sun's eastern limb. On May 5th, it produced an impressive coronal mass ejection (CME) and a burst of radio emissions signalling the passage of a shock wave through the sun's outer atmosphere. Activity continued on May 6th, with at least two more eruptions. The blast site is not yet visible from Earth, but the sun is turning the region toward us for a better view. Is a new-cycle sunspot in the offing? Readers with solar telescopes could see it emerge as early as May 7th or 8th. Visit http://spaceweather.com for images, movies and updates.
7. Autographed Photos of Jim Irwin. Derek Heatly, the IAA's prospective 'Ulsternaut', has a few dozen 8x10 colour photos of the famous flag-saluting picture of Apollo astronaut Jim Irwin on the Moon. Each is about 20 years old, and has this inscription printed on it: ''His love from the moon.'' But his signature beside it is genuine; by looking at the back you can see where the ink has dried out. I'm bringing some down to the IAA's IYA2009 Event at Castle Archdale, hoping to get £20 each, which is very fair. For postal enquiries, it would be £22 incl. recorded delivery. This is for his local cancer charity, so please support this good cause & get a nice souvenir into the bargain. Contact Derek on: firstname.lastname@example.com
8. REVIEW OF NASA's SPACE PROGRAMME:
The White House has ordered a complete outside review of NASA's manned space programme, including plans to return astronauts to the moon. NASA has already spent 6.9 billion dollars (£4.5bn) on its plan to return to the moon.
White House science adviser John Holdren said a new independent panel will look at the design of new spacecraft to replace the space shuttle.
Reporting by August, the panel will also examine the five-year gap between the shuttle and the new moon vehicles when NASA would have to rely on the Russians for space travel.
The review team will be headed by former Lockheed Martin chief executive Norman Augustine.
9. Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork (www.bco.ie) are running a Space Camp in July for 7 to 12 year olds. More details at http://www.science.ie/EN/index.cfm/section/events/page/eventPage/event_key/382

I'll be honest, until real recently, I just haven't given the due credit deserved to both Andrea Bargnani and the Toronto Raptors for picking him up in 2006. After watching his 22 and eight performance last night in the Raptors' 106-105 win against the Lakers, I guess I've just kind of held a blind eye to the 7-foot Italian. With both Bargnani and rook DeMar DeRozan playing well this season – and yes, I know Bargnani was putting up over fifteen a game last season – it got me thinking about just how far T-Dot has come since drafting its worst player in franchise history: Rafael Araujo.
The 6-11 Brazilian out of São Paulo was Toronto's eighth overall selection in 2004 from Brigham Young University. Let that sink in for a second: the eighth overall selection and he was a senior. That at the least – minus Sean May – should all but guarantee a solid role player in the rotation, right? Sadly for Araujo, he never really made it into any NBA rotation for much more than 12 minutes a game during his three seasons in the League. In his rookie season in 2004-05, Hoffa was only able to put up 3.3 points and 3.1 boards a game – that coming with forty-one starts. It didn't take management long to realize the error of their ways, as they drafted another big man, Charlie Villanueva, with their Lottery pick the following season (making three Lottery big men in a row: Chris Bosh, Araujo and Villanueva).
Sure his rookie season may have been tough, but every young guy deserves a little flexibility after only one year – even if he was selected over the likes of Andre Iguodala, Andris Biedrins, Al Jefferson and Josh Smith. However, in Araujo's second season with the Raptors, he endured more of the same. Low minutes and low production became synonymous with the Brazilian (averages of just 2.3 and 2.7 his sophomore year).
So why did Toronto draft Araujo? Well, for starters, Bryan Colangelo wasn't affiliated with the organization yet and…well that's all I got.
Let's look at why Araujo might have been coveted. Araujo spent two years at junior college in Arizona before heading north to play for BYU in Provo, Utah. He did play well in a mid-major conference and was awarded Co-Player of the Year in the Mountain West as a senior in 2004. From Toronto's POV, Hoffa had a good mid range jumper, a big body and, although he was a better fit for the international style of play, he still had the potential to improve. They wanted a complimenting big man banger to fill in the frontcourt alongside their second-year star in Bosh, and Jefferson (coming out of high school) probably seemed like too much of a reach at the number eight spot.
However, at 270 pounds, Araujo was very strong, but lacked any real athleticism or vertical on his jump – I heard a rumor* that combine officials couldn't even slide a clipboard under Araujo when he tested for the vertical leap (*rumor may also substitute for a dream at work I had). He was a near 7-footer who not only couldn't block shots – as evident by his .10 career blocks per game average – he simply couldn't finish around the basket. Looking back on it six years later, it's easy to jump on Toronto's terrible move now, but honestly, even in 2004 it was hard to find reasons to agree with the decision.
I remember watching Araujo play at Air Force when I was a junior in high school, the same year that he was eventually drafted. All I remember was how ridiculously surprised I was that Araujo was even on the NBA's draft radar and that Toronto must have accidentally selected the wrong Rafael Araujo; the guy was being pushed around by 6-5 and 6-6 Air Force cadets.
What is Araujo up to these days? After setting course for Russia upon being waived by the NBA in 2007, he was actually invited to the Minnesota Timberwolves training camp in the fall of 2008. After being waived in October of that same year before making the final squad, Hoffa has found basketball salvation in his native Brazil. After bouncing around the countryside – and probably gearing up for Los Olympicos in 2016 – he has landed with club Paulistano in the Brazilian premier league. A much thinner, and still much-tatted, Araujo has been playing pretty well – and in front of much more Hoffa-friendly crowds – as you can tell in the YouTube clip below.
Araujo may not have turned out like Toronto expected he would, but at least Bosh and Bargnani will have a pad to crash at in 2016. You got to take your positives where you can, right?
Who is your team's worst draft pick since 2000?

Over the decades, steroids have greatly helped bodybuilders and
achieve their fitness goals in a most effective manner imaginable. These were principally considered to enhance performances as most of these are intended to give the body the boost it needs to excel.
For bodybuilders, everything starts with muscles and ends with muscles, so for them, these steroids played the role of a key that can unlock their secret to turn big!
Well, the usage of steroids was not just limited here,
, these were commonly considered for the carving of body. That is, to reduce the body fats more speedily and effectively.
Some also used these means to increase libido. All in all, steroids had and have been benefiting mankind since ages.
However, one thing that can never be denied for at least, taken granted that these steroids lead to side effects that are often too intense for the users to face and combat. Yes, these have been challenging athletes and bodybuilders in terms of poor health.
Fortunately, a decline in their usage was witnessed when their side effects came under
, almost two decades ago. Few common side effects associated with these are infertility, liver/kidney disease, heart disease etc. Indeed, none of these can be overlooked for either they can impair a healthy living or can turn fatal.
Whatever it may take from us, staking health is no better option in any case!
However as said, a visible decline was reported in the purchase of steroids, while in some countries, their sale became completely banned and their usage was regarded as illegal.
Since, few of the steroids also
help to treat
certain health conditions, only for this reason, steroids became and are available only in the case of having prescriptions, that is, you can only use them if being recommended by your doctor.
Despite the intense complications these lead to, it seems as if some bodybuilders and athletes remain ignorant and seek steroids through illegal means.
Saying this would not be wrong that while these individuals are on the go to achieve their goals, they are on the edge to face health complications any sooner or later.
Amongst some common steroids is anadrol.
, the usage of this conventional steroid was also common in the past and was mostly preferred by the professional bodybuilders. So, what was anadrol all about, how effective it was, and what side effects it bought or can bring for the users, have a look:
