Lean times - and everyone is looking for ways to cut costs - so how about squeezing three hearty family meals out of one standard chicken?
This isn't a recipe, so much as a mildly philosophical ramble on the subject of culinary efficiency and frugality.
I'm using just one standard chicken, weighing in at a little under a kilo and a half.
Full price, this would have cost £4 - already fairly cheap - but if you've got a little freezer space, there are ways to bring the cost down - as in this case, there was a multibuy offer - 3 for £10, reducing the price to £3.33 per bird.
But I did even better than that - I went shopping just before closing time and found a stack of chickens reduced down to £2.65 each, so I snapped up ten of them and stored them in my chest freezer.
I'm going to make a big Sunday roast, and I'm going to plan to create leftovers for two more meals as I go.
Planning to make leftovers sounds like it could be wasteful, but in fact, it's another way to save, because cooking (say) twice the normal amount of carrots uses considerably less than twice the amount of fuel (there's also another small saving in that the pan only needs washing once).
Sunday lunch will be: Roast chicken with roast vegetables (potatoes, parsnips, carrots, sweet potato and butternut squash), additional boiled/steamed vegetables - more carrots, swede(rutabaga), sweetcorn, peas and broccoli, and gravy, lots of gravy.
So the first thrifty tip: when preparing the vegetables, the trimmings from many of them go into a big saucepan, which will later be used to make stock from the chicken bones.
So in here went the skins and tops/tails of carrots, parsnips, onions, swede, plus some bits of tough broccoli stalk. Not in here: peelings from potatoes, sweet potatoes and squash, as these tend to soak up flavour in a stockpot, rather than contribute to it.
The carrots, potatoes, parsnips and sweet potatoes all need parboiling before they go in the roasting pan, but rather than boiling them separately and draining, I cook them one after another in the same water, lifting them out with a slotted spoon when they're starting to soften on the outside.
There are two reasons for this: by using the same hot water over again, I save energy compared to heating it from cold, but also, I'm not going to throw away the cooking broth - by the time it's had four lots of vegetables parboiled in it, it's loaded with flavour, so I set it aside for use in making the gravy, later.
The chicken sits on a bed of chopped onions in the middle of the roasting pan, surrounded by the vegetables and the whole lot is seasoned and drizzled with a little oil, then placed in the oven to cook. As an afterthought, I threw in a bell pepper (whole, seeds and all) that was lurking in the fridge.
(This isn't directions for a recipe, but it took about an hour and a half at 170C - a bigger bird will take longer).
Halfway through cooking, I turned the chicken over so it could cook evenly (and so the breast meat would stay moist), then I turned it back for the last ten minutes so the skin on top could brown up.
A meat thermometer pushed into the thickest sections of the breast and thigh confirmed that it was done (and the juices running clear).
There was still half an hour to go until lunch, so I removed the chicken to a large plate and covered it with foil to rest - it stays surprisingly hot for at least half an hour, and allowing the meat to rest like this ensures that it will be moist and juicy.
I also spread out the onions in the roasting pan and put this back in the oven to brown a little.
The roasted bell pepper here could have been served as a side vegetable, but I decided just to add it all to the stockpot for flavour.
I set aside the cooked onions and spooned most of the fat out of the roasting pan - this is a combination of fats from the chicken and the oil I originally added to the vegetables at the start - it's too good to waste, so this will be saved for use in meal two or three.
I poured half of the vegetable broth (from parboiling) into the pan to loosen all of the caramelised brown bits.
I mixed the other half of the parboiling broth with the onions and blended them to a smooth pulp with a hand blender, then brought this back together with the other half (complete with the dissolved browned bits from the roasting pan) and added some seasoning and a little sprinkle of gravy thickening to make about a litre and a half of gravy - more than I expected to need at the table.
The boiled/steamed vegetables were done - again, there's flavour in the cooking liquor, so again, it's not going to waste - I drained the vegetables into the stockpot.
At the dinner table, I served all of the vegetables in dishes, but with the chicken, I carved and served a generous portion for each diner, then took the remainder out of the way to the kitchen and covered it up.
This removes the temptation to pick at the chicken until it's all gone (and you feel you've eaten too much). If anyone wants seconds, there's plenty of additional vegetables and gravy.
Obviously, this really only works for something like a family meal where everyone is on board with the notion of being frugal - guests might just consider it mean and miserly.
In one of the serving dishes (saving on washing up) I placed a selection of the leftover vegetables, cut into rough chunks. To this, I added about two thirds of the leftover chicken meat, picked from the bones.
The remaining gravy was just enough to cover all this. I wrapped the whole dish several times in cling film and labelled it - the objective here was to make three meals - not necessarily three consecutive ones - so this dish will go into the freezer and at some later date (so no photo of the end result just yet), I'll just thaw it out, top with pastry to make a delicious family-sized chicken and veg pie - meal two.
I picked the last of the chicken meat from the bones and set this aside (for meal 3). The bones, skin and other parts of the chicken carcass went in the stockpot.
It needed topping up with additional liquid before putting on to boil - and here's another thrifty tip for extra flavour - the plate on which the chicken was carved, the gravy jug and pan and the ovenproof dish from serving the roasted vegetables - so I added a little clean water in each of these, then swished it around and into the stockpot - topping it up just enough to cover the contents.
I brought the stockpot to the boil, then turned down the heat and simmered for an hour and a half.
Every now and again, I crushed the contents down with a potato masher to break everything up and release more flavour.
If I'd been concerned about producing a clear stock, I wouldn't have pressed it like this, and probably would have strained it through cheesecloth or muslin, but I'm planning to use it for soup or risotto, so a crystal-clear finish is not required.
I made about two pints of rich stock - I poured this into two plastic containers and left them to cool.
This will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week, or may be frozen for use another time.
Chicken stock is a really versatile ingredient - if you've only ever used stock made from cubes or powder before, I would urge you to try (if nothing else) just this - make some stock from your next chicken carcass - you won't believe how good it is as a base for soup, risotto or paella.
Meal three consists of a hearty soup based on this stock and the leftover vegetables and last bits of chicken.
To start the soup, I gave it a flavour boost by frying some more onions in some of the reserved fat spooned out of the roasting pan.
As soon as the onions started to take on colour, I added some stock, along with the leftover potatoes, butternut squash and swede, then blended this until smooth.
I cut the leftover carrot and chicken into small pieces and added this, along with the leftover peas and sweetcorn to the smooth soup.
The result - served with buttered multi-seeded bread and (as an extra little treat, not really part of the plan) a small wedge of creamy gorgonzola cheese - is a satisfying and delicious meal - ideal for a midweek dinner after work, as it only took about twenty minutes to put together.
There was easily enough soup in the pot for generous servings to a family of four.
And here it is. The pie. A week or so later, we had chicken and sweet potato pie.
Mmmm! Pie! - I just made some rough-puff pastry and topped the premade (thawed) pie filling and baked it for half an hour to cook the crust. Delicious.
And it goes on - there's always some leftover pastry - and with two hungry teenagers in the house, I can't let it go to waste, so I made a batch of jam tarts - really easy - just roll out, cut circles, bake them blind (empty) for four minutes, then add a teaspoon of jam and bake again for another four minutes, and they're done.
The only part in all of this that entails additional energy/cost is the prolonged simmering of the stockpot - however, once it's arrived at the boil, the hob can be turned right down to the minimum extent for the simmer.
So, what's all this obsession with extracting additional flavour from stuff? Well - put simply, flavour costs - it either costs money (sauces, seasonings, bought-in stocks), or it costs a little effort and a little forethought (but you get to keep the money in your wallet).
My compromise is to half-peel them - leaving strips of skin for flavour and texture, and peeled strips to allow the steam to escape, so that they crisp up nicely in the oven.
(On reflection, I realise I might also have thrown the potato peelings into the roasting pan and let them brown up into crispy shreds for use as a garnish).
Sitting the chicken on a bed of onions - this prevents the chicken just burning onto the bottom of the pan - and the onions ideally caramelise to provide plenty of flavour for making the gravy.
At the time of writing, the total cost for all of the ingredients for these three meals came in at well under £10. That's really something of a budgetary triumph.
I should of course make it clear that I'm not claiming I invented any of these ideas - there's almost nothing on this page that is a new idea, or that isn't already widely practiced by cooks the world over - what makes it interesting is how it all fits together into a plan.
If you have freezer space, you can just throw all the bones from the chicken into a bag or other container and store them to make stock later - and keep adding more bones (for example those from a box of takeaway fried chicken, or a few bones from a rack of BBQ pork ribs and so on).
If you have a slow cooker (crockpot), you can use it to make the stock - I managed to fit the bones from three whole chickens into mine, plus six pints of water, onions, garlic, bay leaves and rosemary.
It takes all day this way, but it can just be left unattended to simmer while you do something else.
I don't have the space or equipment to be able to compost cooked food leftovers - and if it's done improperly, it can attract rats, so the inedible remains of the chicken and other stock items went into my 'brown bin' - this is collected weekly and goes to a municipal food waste handling centre to be composted/digested to make biogas and soil conditioner.
I've started following a similar routine with my roast chickens - chicken and veg dinner one night, chicken pot pie another, and then stock/soup. It certainly makes me feel less wasteful!

May 3 at 22:05 MSK “Atletico” will “Arsenal”, “Wanda Metropolitano” in the return match of 1/2 final of the Europa League.
Atlético became one of the heroes last week. After two stupid cards Sime vrsaljko (he now misses the return match), and even the removal of the coach, he seemed cornered. But that “plans” could in this format to count on success — Diego Simeone perfectly taught his players to play in the “neck” fights, putting at the forefront the defense of the gate. It should be noted Clouds Slovenian rescued where he missed the defenders. Have their say and Griezmann. The Frenchman could become the anti-hero of the match, because he missed, he created a Party, drag the ball in the middle of the field, then it failed, the stroke led to the first goal. But the “Prince” himself rehabilitated, squeeze a goal out of nothing. Now in Spanish there is a psychological and tactical advantage, the house will arrange a goalless draw. An additional advantage will be the return of Diego Costa — he played more than an hour.
Arsenal again fail. All consider 1-1 a week ago as the victory of the guests, and more than fair — how can you expect to win on the road, if not to take her home, playing 80 minutes in the majority? Again lost in important match of Ozil, and the defense once again was cracking up. Noteworthy: if, even after playing out a draw in the visitors, Simeone still used a rotation in the championship, Wenger on the occasion of his last visit to old Trafford has put a good squad, albeit diluted Mavropoulos, chambers, Maitland-Niles and Nelson. In the end miscalculated: despite Mkhitaryan’s goal, Arsenal lost (and again claims to protect, after all, already on the added minute three of them couldn’t stop alone Fellaini), wasted a lot of energy and hardly lifted my mood. Can rested Koscielny, Ramsey, Ozil and Lacazette to cope better?
Bookmaker Pari-Match is sure: not being able to lose on the road, Atletico will develop success and win at home. The home team exhibited a ratio of 1.71, while the option that will win (and, therefore, will go further), “Arsenal” received of 1.71. Range experts about the impact: “more than 2.5” can be put under is 1.98, less than a factor of up to 1.83.
Atlético at the forefront puts the result. They will advance to the finals even at 0-0. And protected now, “Arsenal”, so that’s one goal just miss. Waiting for the most pragmatic of the game from the home side, which hardly something can stop guests.

A high-end London-based hospitality company unveiled Tuesday plans for two restaurants and an event space scheduled to open in 2019 in the massive Hudson Yards development in New York City.
Rhubarb, the hospitality firm known for contract catering in premier London venues such as the Historic Royal Palaces, the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, plans to open a 5,800-square-foot restaurant on the fifth level of the Neiman Marcus-anchored Shops & Restaurants section of the mall.
In addition, the group will create and program a 10,000-square-foot bar, restaurant and event space on the top of the 92-story 30 Hudson Yards building, which will be the development’s tallest tower, at 1,296 feet. The two-level venue will offer stunning views of Manhattan and New Jersey, and will house the highest outdoor observation deck in the city, according to press materials. The deck will also include an indoor-outdoor bar.
The Hudson Yards outlets will be the first international outposts for Rhubarb.
Under development by Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group on Manhattan’s West Side, Hudson Yards is being billed as a “new neighborhood,” with more than 18 million square feet of mixed use space that will include more than 100 shops and restaurants, as well as 4,000 residences, a public school, hotels, and cultural and public spaces.
Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Thomas Keller is co-curating the food and beverage venues at Hudson Yards, which will include a new concept by his restaurant group, along with an all-things-Spanish food hall by José Andrés and restaurants by David Chang, Costas Spiliadis, Michael Lomonaco and the UK-based group D&D London.
In London, Rhubarb’s concepts include Sky Garden, operated at the top of the Fenchurch tower, as well as Gallery Mess, CODA and Verdi Italian Kitchen in the Royal Albert Hall. The company has catering operations at more than 60 venues, including key events like Royal Ascot.

Showerwall is the perfect alternative to wall tiles and is easy to install, simply just cut the panels to size, then mount on the wall with the necessary trims and seal any joints with our range of shower-wall colour sealants. Tongue and groove panels just need to be sealed together instead of using trims for side-by-side joints and in cases where a wall is not solid or suitable for screws and plugs then you may need to batten the wall. An installation instructions PDF download is available on the following link Installation Instructions PDF and trims, sealants and accessories can be found in our Showerwall accessories category.
Linea White is an affordable panelling system, providing high levels of style and stain resistance and is also easy to fit without the need of grouting and cutting delicate tiles.

Lots of organisations are facing a serious shortage of sports and leisure infrastructures, so SMC2 has come up with the PREOSPORT® as an affordable solution. In fact, this solution turns out to be 10 times more economical, both as an initial investment and in the long-term, than a conventional gymnasium.
Thanks to its fabric membrane roof, the PREOSPORT® lets you keep playing outdoor sports and leisure activities the whole year round, no matter what the weather’s like. The playing area not only stays high and dry, it is also sheltered from sunlight (and hence heat) because of its low thermal mass. The fabric membrane is translucent to provide visual comfort free of shadow areas and glare.
Its general features also make the PREOSPORT® an ideal place for meeting and mixing.
A PREOSPORT® outdoor sports hall is a long-lasting facility with a lifetime in excess of 30 years. Delivered with a 17 year warranty, its fabric membrane roof does not lose any performance over time (translucency, strength) and requires no special maintenance.
Excluding administrative timeframes for granting the building permit, a PREOSPORT® is ready for use within a month, mainly because it does not require any heavy concrete foundation work.
Dry process construction technology is used for the PREOSPORT® and provides precious energy, time and money savings. The composite fabric membrane used for the roof is 100% recyclable, and the glulam roof frame is made exclusively of wood from sustainably managed forestry.

What is it that makes an advertising campaign work? What is it that leads to an ad becoming viral, while the competition does not get consumers to receive the message in the same way?
What is it that makes an advertising campaign work? What is it that leads to an ad becoming viral, while the competition does not get consumers to receive the message in the same way? These are key questions that mark the design of the strategy of brands and companies. Everyone would want to have the answer in order to be able to position themselves more effectively when they launch theirs.
A study, prepared by Pacific using data on social networks of Crimson Hexagon, has analyzed the response that some viral campaigns of recent years have achieved, such as Like a Girl by Always, Real Beauty by Dove or The Epic Split by Volvo, among others. . They are campaigns that nobody doubts since they had a very high impact and that they managed to sneak into the conversations. Finding what they have in common can help you understand what works.
This conclusion may seem the most striking and even the most unexpected, because if something seems to have become clear in recent times and in line with what they are showing from the studies to the things that the consumers themselves do as users of the elements that They are the gateway to the ads is that the latter do not like much. Complaints about advertising and the use of tools that block it have grown.
And, in spite of everything, the study concludes that the advertising campaigns (at least those that have an important echo and manage to position themselves well before the consumers) are well received. Not only are positive feelings more common than negative ones and they last longer, but also the emotion expressed most commonly is joy.
This is: only a few campaigns get this love and these relationships with consumers and only a few manage to cross the border between being simply advertising noise and being something relevant. As they point out in the conclusions of the analysis, only a few become viral (and achieve on average a life of four months). We talk about them and we share them, but we may talk less about them in social networks than we would talk about other virals.
The data of what has happened with all these campaigns and the reception they have had among consumers demonstrates once again something that the industry has already pointed out and that has become a kind of keynote in the discourses on how to position a bell. Social networks function as an amplifier of campaigns and as a way to reach many more audiences.
Social networks and the strategic use of them make campaigns much more traveled and have much more chances of becoming a more viral element that reaches audiences better.
And, very linked to the previous point, you can add the use of influencers. It is not worth simply adding them to the campaign. They have to be used in a strategic way and they have to serve to prop up key elements.
One of the risks run by brands and companies when something starts to work for the competition is falling into the trap of thinking that they also have to do that. It is the idea that if someone triumphed with a theme, a technique or a character, the company itself can also achieve it using the same weapons.
Nothing is further from reality. The campaigns that have had the most echo and have worked best have done so because what they showed was very much linked to them. What is the same: the most successful campaigns were a reflection of the values of the brand in question and its qualities and objectives. The brand spoke to its audience starting from what had previously made it unique.
However successful the campaigns may be, as with the ones they analyzed in the study, and no matter how much impact they may have or appear to have, advertising campaigns should not be seen as the ultimate goal or as the only tool to reach the consumer. They can not be the ‘all’ of the marketing strategy. In fact, in social networks, brands and companies, remind us, star in conversations especially in two moments.

It was announced that the actor Patrick Macnee, star of The Avengers TV series, has died on 25th June in California at the age of 93.
Born in London, he grew up in Berkshire and was educated at Eton.
At the age of 11, he acted in Henry V opposite a young Sir Christopher Lee. He first appeared in the West End while still in his teens. He also played a number of minor roles – including one in Laurence Olivier’s 1948 film version of Hamlet – before rising to fame in the original Avengers series between 1961 and 1969.
The series developed a cult following around the world, with Macnee portraying the quintessentially English and mysterious super-spy John Steed.
Here is an interview which was recorded in 1985 with Marjorie Bilbow in which Patrick recalls his early film roles, his time in The Avengers and working with Roger Moore.

Tall Trees Town is a town in the Summer Isles, located on the southwest coast of the island Walano.
The town is sunny, but shaded by the enormous Talking Trees, on the trunks of which is recorded the entire history of the Summer Islanders.
In 19 AC, Tall Trees Town was sacked by a pirate fleet, who stole a fortune and carried off thousands into slavery. When King Aegon I Targaryen of Westeros heard of this event, he commanded that walls be raised around King's Landing.
Summer Islanders who visited Sothoryos helped Ser Eustace Hightower sail his damaged Lady Meredith to Tall Trees Town. Eustace hired a new crew and continued on to Oldtown.
Tall Trees Town is the home port of the Cinnamon Wind.
Garin tells Arianne Martell that according to sailors in Planky Town, a new corsair king has risen in the Basilisk Isles and has raided Tall Trees Town.

As technology becomes more widely accessible and easier to use, consumers are becoming more comfortable with the concept of “The Internet of Things1” (IoT). This concept refers to how everyday objects can send data and information via the Internet (wireless) to external sources. Then, the recipients (people or systems) of this data can use the information to understand how a product or service is performing and identify actions that need to be triggered. The information is also stored and can be analyzed for product and process improvements.
One of the earliest uses of IoT was for inventory management. In 1982, Carnegie Mellon University modified a Coke machine to report back inventory levels. It also provided other insights such as how long it took for newly stocked items to become cold. People quickly recognized the value of such real-time information and how it could be used to create a competitive advantage.
Since then, IoT has grown to include energy management, healthcare monitoring and intervention, emergency alerts, building and home automation, and much, much more. The vehicles your dealership sells today are becoming major IoT devices. And many (though not all) consumers are eating up the benefits.
So, the question is, can your dealership employees explain the “connected car” to potential vehicle buyers? Do they have the knowledge and insights to make IoT a deal closer? If the answer is no, you might want to train your staff in the following 3 areas.
Safety is a big benefit of a connected car. Given that safety is often a key factor for buyers, your teams should really understand this aspect. Consumers will appreciate functionality such as pre-collision systems, road hazard detection, lane departure alerts, blind-spot warnings, automatic high beams, and pilot assist. Just as important are any hands-free features for phone and text.
People are always looking for ways to make their lives easier. Make sure you’re able to explain to them how a connected car can help accomplish just that. For example, you could point out that since you can start, stop, lock, and unlock your vehicle all from your phone, keys aren’t needed and you don’t have to worry about losing them. You can also upload directions from your phone directly into the vehicle’s navigation system. Some vehicles will even upload your daily calendar and program the navigation system to take you from appointment to appointment. And don’t forget to mention built-in Wi-Fi, the GPS locator, or the self-parking feature if available.
Today’s connected vehicle already gathers and analyzes vehicle data to predict if problems are arising and alert the owner if service maintenance is needed. Notifications can be sent via email, text, or smartphone app. Other types of notifications include alerts about road conditions, traffic, and weather. Some vehicles even allow parents to set controls that alert them if the car is being driven after curfew or outside a predefined geographic area.
Dealership employees who can talk-the-talk will no doubt make stronger connections with customers. The trick, of course, is focusing on the connected features that align with the vehicles you sell. Don’t be afraid to explain connected features on your website as well. The buying public is looking to understand this emerging and rapidly changing area and you can set yourself up as a subject-matter-expert by sharing what you know.
One word of warning, however: As mentioned earlier, not all vehicle buyers are enamored with the concept of a connected car. Some are bothered by the idea that Big Brother is watching. Others fear hacking and have privacy concerns. So just be sure you can address these concerns as well.

Diantha Harris, FFS, FSIA, ASID, Rev. has accumulated her knowledge of and experience with energy work, color, spiritual exploration, and healing through nearly seven decades of her life. Her practice began with Interior Design but she soon found she resonated with healing and supportive change for her clients that she found through using color and/or feng shui. Many years later she has added to her toolbox and has several methods to work with clients depending on their location and situation including energy/body work, Floral Acupuncture, and Color Readings, dreamwork, Akashic Records, Fashion Feng Shui, and custom blends of essences and colors. Many of these modalities can be practiced at a distance and about 95% of her work is done long distance via the internet or phone.
Diantha has written an acclaimed book on Color as a healing tool: Simply Color, 2nd Edition, available on her website or amazon.com. Simply Color is used in several classes given by other people and at many workshops worldwide, and is a great resource to have on hand for personal use. In addition, she has created a complete line of color therapy sprays and feng shui sprays which is based on the power of aromatherapy and essences. Her recent book release, Simply Color for Everyday Living takes Diantha’s first book one step further into practical and varied ways to use color in our everyday lives for support and transformation. A powerful group of 25 professionals have contributed to this book to demonstrate how this can be accomplished easily and effortlessly.
In addition to her work utilizing color and energy work as healing modalities, Diantha also provides Akashic Record Readings and can support healing through Fashion Feng Shui.
Akashic Record Readings are taken from the story of your soul from its inception to the present moment. In a reading, which can be done over the phone or on site, we use your name and a prayer to enter your Records. You ask your questions, Diantha will find the answers you are to receive within your Records. Readings are one hour in length and 30 minute Readings are also available.
Fashion Feng Shui is using your clothing choices to feng shui/balance/enhance/support your soul by using the energy of your clothing choices. This is a non-invasive, fun, and very effective way to use energy for healing, support, and comfort.
The various healing modalities that Diantha utilizes are gentle and non-invasive, two requirements she has for any modality she utilizes in her practice. Her approach to working with clients mimics this gentle, non-intrusive, supportive quality of all of her products. Attending to each individual’s unique life experience, Diantha can create for you a custom blend of essences and fragrances to support you on your healing journey.
I am certified in the following areas and offer the following products to support and complement your healing work.
I am able to provide sliding-scale services and distance healing.

Everything that can be known about the Lord Jesus Christ is found in the Bible. There is no other source of materials. One of the proofs that the Bible is the inspired Word of God is that there is no possibility of exhausting it. Each succeeding generation finds the Word as fresh and new as though it were just written. Any study which brings more light from the Book itself, comparing Scripture with Scripture, enhancing and revealing our Lord the more, is sufficiently justified.
When the life and work of Christ are seen through the first word of John 1:12, "But...", and when His teaching is seen through the parables spoken on that great Saturday afternoon when He sat in a boat on the lake, the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, begins to be clear and limpid stream of truth. Then even a novice may hope to understand it in its great outlines, and the deepest student will realize that it can never be fully comprehended until we know as we are known.
Is the Sermon on the Mount for Today?
Donald Grey Barnhouse, one of the twentieth century's outstanding American preachers, saw the need to spread God's Word to a vast audience, he went on to start a radio broadcast which has become known as Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. Dr. Barnhouse is best known for his many colorful illustrations of living the Christian life. His books inclyde: Teaching the Word of Truth, Bible Truth Illustrated, Let Me Illustrate, Romans, and more.

How Hard Is It To Learn Ash Work?
My Grandson who is 10 came home from school and was sitting in the next room while the seminar was going on.
He came out to me after and said that he got bored and started to listen and do the space work.
He said "Wow Amma that was so wonderful. I feel so light and at peace.
I don't know what it was you were doing but I like it and it works"
We started to talk and he stated he did not believe in God but has a lot of questions on the universe and life.

Animal care professionals say the 10 most common canine behavioral problems are barking, chewing, digging, separation anxiety, inappropriate elimination, begging, chasing, jumping, biting, and aggression. Many of these behaviors aren’t just superficial naughtiness, but trace their origins to deeper-rooted causes, including fear, defensiveness, protection of property, dominance assertion, anxiety, curiosity, boredom, and/or excess energy.
This giveaway will focus on Mellow Out, which we reviewed yesterday. You can enter through Wednesday, June 13 to win a bottle for your pet. If the Rafflecopter entry form below is not in view immediately, simply click on the post title to refresh and it will appear at the bottom. Good luck to you all.
If you'd prefer to take the 'sure thing' route, feel free to order your Mellow Out from their website.
Wow, I'm surprised that they have 14 different blends. I could use several of these, but the one that I would like to try next is the Panic Attack.
I didn't know anything about these. They sound great. My boy can get a little worked up when I leave. So I would say Independence would be another I'd try.
Is it safe, are you sure???
Bentley can have an evil strike like his mom sometimes, so 'Devil Be Gone' may work. He's snappy when it's time to put him up and can get snappy towards other pups if they get too close to me. Before any trial and error I would like more research on the product and its effectiveness. Has Oliver or Tanner tried any of their products?
Wow, these sound great. We could really use Mellow Out for my other-dog-aggressive girl!
@tadalafil: These products are like homeopathic remedies that are made from flower essences. Check the website and read the ingredients. You can look them up on Wikipedia.
I'd like to try Devil Be Gone as a training aid for my reactive dog, Zora.
@cdmtx: Just a tiny bit of "Little Dog Syndrome" going on there, huh? You've got your work cut out for you!
My pup needs Clear Thinking. We do agility work and he gets so distracted by everything!
I would like to try either obsess less or ego builder.
I would like to try Life's Changes next because we will be moving out of state next year and it is going to be a huge adjustment for Tiny.
I would like to try the Clear Thinking variety.
I enjoyed the Tips to Reduce Stress of Taking Your Cat to Vet post the most.
I want to try Devil Be Gone.
I'd love to try this for Nelson. It sounds like a great product!
I'd love Panic Attack for my yorkie!
In Training sounds just right for my dog! haha.
I few of these seem like I could use them but the one that I would really like is Safe Journey. I really like to bring my one dog places but I can't go places that are more then 20 minutes away because that's as much time as she can be in the car to tolerate it before she gets sick.

We all know that visual content is a big deal on the web today. It is clearly expressed on social media platforms, plastered on blogs and online articles, and dappled throughout websites. From images, videos and animation to presentations, infographics and charts, visual content has become a huge component of online marketing.
What makes visual content such a powerful marketing tool? Part of it has to do with what goes on inside our noggins when we process visual information. When we take a look at an image, our brains decipher all of its visual elements simultaneously and store them directly into our long-term memory. How amazing is that? We can instantly interpret and remember what we see. Compare that to how we process text and it becomes clear why imagery has the upper hand in delivering a quick and effective message.
As we read text, we process it in a sequential manner and then store the information in our short-term memory. According to Dr. Lynell Burmark, author of Visual Literacy: Learn to See, See to Learn, this process is 60,000 times slower than processing visual information. In today’s fast-paced, on-the-go world, taking the time to read everything is just not cutting it. The demand for quick and easy information is mounting and visual content is stepping in to satisfy it.
As mentioned above, we can process visual information in a jiffy. That means viewers with short attention spans (lets face it, that’s most of us) can still grasp the message without investing a substantial amount of time, allowing you to get through to your audience with less risk of being shuffled aside.
How often do we flip through magazines and stop on a page with an interesting picture? Valuable images tend to arrest our attention, at which point our interest is peaked and we are more likely to read the caption or article that goes with it.
Help your audience sort through masses of text by throwing in some relevant and interesting visuals.
Remember Show-and-Tell in elementary school? It was one thing when that one kid said he met the Red Power Ranger. You thought, “Yeah, right. There’s no way.” But then when he whipped out a picture to prove it, your mind was blown and that kid just became super cool.
Show-and-Tell has evolved into a driving online force, and social media is the outlet of choice for consumers and businesses alike. Adding engaging, visual elements to social media is a great way for businesses to prove their accomplishments, earn trust, and enhance their brands.
Just in case you aren’t convinced, check out these numbers from MDG Advertising and get a taste of why visual content is online marketing’s rock star.
Online articles with compelling images average 94% more views than those without.
60% of consumers are more inclined to click on a business’s local listing if an image appears along with its search results.
Facebook posts that include photos receive a 37% increase in user engagement.
Now that the value of online visual content is clear, the next step is to do something about it. But how? The prospect of rounding up or creating photos, illustrations, infographics, charts, animation, videos, presentations, and webinars can be overwhelming. It’s one thing to hand the issue over to your graphic design department and let the designers handle it, but many small business managers don’t have that luxury and have to take matters into their own hands.
The price and learning curve for Adobe Photoshop is steep, and trying to use Microsoft PowerPoint to patch images together is a pain. So what tools and resources are out there for businesses on a tight budget? Here are 29 great online resources that will make creating visual content easy. The best part: they’re free!

It seems that just about every company that doesn’t have access to a photographer will need stock images at some point. Here are several sites that offer free, and royalty-free images for commercial use. Although there are great images available, be sure to sort through and avoid the cliché and cheesy ones.
Compfight is an image search engine that utilizes flickr. It allows you to search by license: Any license, Creative Commons, or Commercial.

This site provides you with dozens of free, high-quality images featuring electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops in realistic settings. The best part is that Placeit allows you to easily place your own images in the screens of the electronics. It is definitely worth checking out.

Pixler Express is an easier version that is great for quick fixes. Pixlr O-Matic features pre-made filters that you can easily apply to your photos.
Gimp is the most complex program out of the bunch. Download it onto your computer and use it as a paint program, expert photo retouching program, or a batch processing system. Add plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything.

Great list! Love Placeit. Just what I was looking for.
Thanks for sharing. I’m always up for learning of new design toys. I just reserved a user name with Canva 🙂 I’m excited to check it out.
Thanks for sharing, Andy. I didn’t add any resources for creating vector graphics, so thank you for adding to the list!
Hard to imagine, but I use PowerPoint for these type of projects. I can save in high resolution with an add-in.
Thanks for featuring Piktochart in the list!
Are you planning to write more about infographics? Let me know.
Awesome, some of this site are new to me.. Thanks a lot..
I’ve recently been accepted by Canva and I’m excited to give it a whirl. Fotor Banner Maker looks interesting too.
Piktochart sure is a handy tool, especially since infographics are a fun way to enrich online marketing content. It is great to have a resource that makes the creation process easier and more approachable.
Nice job Kaylee! I’d add http://www.visual.ly for infographics that can be downloaded and used!

Today Curt Schilling, 38 Studios founder, posted more screens of Project Copernicus on Facebook. He went on to say..
Images from the most magical, breathtaking and awe inspiring world ever created. Images I was “allowed” to peek at along the way, when the team wanted us all to see the magical world we were building.
Project Copernicus was/is the MMO 38 Studios was working on. Personally, the game looks quite excellent. It breaks my heart to see a MMO that may have a lot of potential – potentially flushed due to the current fallout in 38 Studios. Why Mr. Schilling decided to posts these screens is beyond me. Perhaps to spark buzz for the game to be picked up by another dev. Time will tell the fate of this MMO.
For those who do not use Facebook, I took the liberty of posting some here for you. Enjoy. Tell us what you think.
Yes, you heard it here. Just announced on the Bethesda Blog, mounted combat is on it’s way to Skyrim. If you cannot contain your excitement, you can download the beta version of 1.6 right now!
Here’s a look at the changes to be added: You can find everything right here!
Kotaku [source] just reported that there are many rumors swirling right now that 38 Studios has shut down Big Huge Games, the developers who helped create the lackluster RPG- Kingdoms of Amalur. This comes hot on the heels of the recent financial crisis rocking 38 Studios and the state of Rhode Island. Right now, there is no official word from 38 Studios. Link Dead Gaming will have more for you as this story develops.
I cannot think of a better way to start off a day than a debut trailer. Wouldn’t you agree?
Today, Sega and Double Fine announced their joint project – The Cave.
The Cave is a side-scrolling, puzzle-solving, platforming, adventure game. Which is ok in my book. The game looks incredibly awesome. The environments and characters FEEL like a Double Fine game. There are definitely elements of Trine here and other well known side-scrolling platformers. (Sega’s own Sonic and even Metroid.) It’s great to have them back. [Double Fine’s Kickstarter] The trailer shows the viewer just enough to draw you in. We also have some screenshots below.
The game is aiming for a early 2013 release. The Cave will be available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
