Printable Coloring Pages are excellent for Children

Everybody from the harried parent to party hosts have found coloring to be
a wonderful activity to engage the kids in, and since the appearance of
many glorious technologies such as the computer, internet and the printer
we have got access to the world of printable coloring pages. At any point
in time from the early morning to late at night a kid can get on the
internet and look for printable coloring pages to keep themselves
entertained.

The coloring page has many benefits. It?s an activity, number one, that
keeps the youngsters happily involved. Number two, it encourages the
creative side of your kids and number 3, inspires many developing skills,
such as coordination, decision making and follow through when they finish
their coloring pages.

The search for the printable coloring page also introduces kids to the web
and technology. They pick many things that we might take for granted.
Children study logging onto the internet and about search engines, which
are excellent ways to find required info.

The lowly printable coloring page is really a chance to show kids a large
amount of things about the world and best of all you can find coloring
pages on just about every theme and idea and they are often free to print
out. Printable coloring pages even work best in a pinch. If you have a
bunch of children over and only one unused coloring book left, it?s easy
enough to go surfing and print out as many copies of coloring pages as you
need.

Printable Grocery List - Give Your College Student a Reality Lesson

Do you have a college student who is managing his own food costs? Perhaps
he is not living in a dorm where he has access to a campus meal-plan, but
instead is attempting to feed himself for the first time in his young
life?

Forget printable grocery lists and meal-planning, your student is on the
high road to take-out heaven.

How's that going for you? For your wallet?

If you are like most parents of college kids, the moment comes when you
realize your child doesn't have a clue about how to budget for a
reasonable food intake. And why should they? Our kids weren't born knowing
these things. College presents another opportunity for us to parent, just
in a different way.

My third child is currently in college and here are some of the steps we
have used to help our kids become savvy food consumers.

-- Printable grocery list.

Teach your young adult the value of simple tools like a printable grocery
list. Print some out from the internet or get an inexpensive grocery pad
that magnetizes to the fridge.

There are simple rules to using a grocery shopping list:

1. If you want to buy it at the grocery store, put it on the grocery list.

2. When you get to the store, if it's not on the grocery list, don't buy it.

3. Grocery shopping only happens once a week (or two weeks or whatever you
decide on togetber).

4. This is called self-discipline.

-- Menu-planning.

Honestly, menu-planning at this stage of the game can be tough. Your
student is not living in an environment that is conducive to having a
set-schedule, nor does she probably have a great kitchen to work with, in
terms of storage.

Then there's always that pesky problem of roomies eating your food.

Still, the seeds of menu-planning can be born at this age. A calendar can
be used to write down the menu for the week. Even a frozen pizza or wings
need to know what night they'll be eaten.

What your student can learn from this is that even if her schedule changes
(or her tastes), thanks to this method she will be prepared to eat
decently at a lower cost than continual fast food or take-out.

When my son was in college, I taught him a simple and fast method of
making his own chicken nuggets. His roommates were so impressed they asked
him to cook for them. The truth is they all miss home cooking at this age;
they just don't know how to accomplish it in a reasonable manner.

-- Shopping - WITH list!

After the semi-menu-planning session, write out your student's printable
grocery list and go shopping. This is a great opportunity to talk about
price and nutrition comparison and how to find great deals if you haven't
already had that conversation.

If you have younger kids, take them along! They can learn before they go
off to college, saving both of you money and stress.

Remember, the rule is if it's not on the list your student can't buy it.
That will encourage him to get in the habit of using his printable grocery
list.

-- Cooking strategies.

As mentioned earlier, your college student probably is not in an
environment to do gourmet cooking. And she probably doesn't want to,
either.

That's fine.

However, learning that opening two or three cans of veggies and broth,
mixing together and heating makes a fine, nutritious soup is a valuable
cooking strategy to know.

Knowing that a box of pasta plus a can of sauce and a small bag of salad
makes a meal.

Being shown that there are decently healthy meals in the frozen food
section of the grocery store and that they only take minutes to microwave.

These, like using a printable grocery list, are super-simple food
strategies and often just right for the budding young adult.

And for you, these ideas are easier on the budget than continual take-out.

Wii Fit in Stock Status

The Nintendo Wii Fit is an extremely popular unit and it can be extremely
difficult to find it in stock. Nintendo has had a hard time keeping up
with the great demand because everyone wants one of these units. Many
people wonder if they will ever find a Wii Fit in stock.

One of the things that I can recommend for getting this unit is to go into
your local game retailer or major chain store and talk with the
electronics manager or the manager of the store if it is just a game
retailer. Tell them you would like a Wii Fit or a Wii unit and find out
when they get their shipments in. Typically they will tell you to call
them every morning and see if a shipment is coming in. If it is coming in
they will tell you and you can rush over and pick it up. One manager told
me that if I do this everyday that I will be almost guaranteed to get a
unit. They said the best thing is to just focus your efforts on one store,
and chances are you will find a Wii Fit in Stock.

Now this method doesn't work all the time just because there may be others
trying this tactic as well, it may be too difficult to get away from work
to pick up the unit as most of the time it becomes in stock during the
work day, the cost of gas and time to get the unit can get expensive, and
many other factors can make this strategy ineffective when it comes to
finding a Wii Fit in stock.

All of the costs mentioned above add up, so if you really want the Wii Fit
you should really look hard online for the unit. Even though you may pay a
little bit more for it online just getting the unit and being guaranteed
that it is on the way will be worth it to you. You have to weigh the pros
and cons and determine what the best solution is for you.

This unit is awesome as it allows you to do aerobics, strength training,
yoga, and balancing to work your core. The Wii Fit surely provides one of
the best workouts of any machine out there today, and the best part of it
all is that this unit is fun for the whole family. Your kids won't even
realize they are working out most of the time as they participate in these
fun activities.

Another great feature of this unit is that it measures your progress as
you move forward. You can track your progress by computer making your
workouts better.

Strength Training

The Wii Fit offers a variety of Strength Training exercises. These include
the single leg extensions, the jack knife, the lunge, a push-up and side
plank, and turbo twists. All of these focus on increasing your overall
strength.

Balancing

Another popular set of exercises that this unit offers is balancing which
helps you keep you in shape. A few of these workouts include ski jumps,
ski slalom, soccer heading, and balancing board.

Yoga

We all know that Yoga provides us many different benefits. Since it can
really help you, the Wii Fit also guides you through several good Yoga
moves including the tree pose, the half moon, the warrior, and deep
breathing.

Aerobics

Featuring hoola hoop, the basic step, the run, and the two person run
gives you a good aerobic workout to get your heart going. Working out and
burning calories is now more fun thanks to the Nintendo Wii Fit.

History of Italian Cuisine

Most people will recognize pasta and pizza - two of the most popular
dishes that form part of the Italian cuisine. However, Italian cuisine has
a lot more to offer than just these two well known dishes. Most
importantly, Italian cuisine also has a rich and tempting history - just
like the different dishes that form part of its offerings.

All over the land of Italy, all the Italians always maintain a distinctive
cooking habit or style that shines in their eating habits, their styles of
preparing a meal and the way they select local ingredients. Right from the
pre-Roman era till date the Italian food history has gone through a
considerable change.

In the ancient times, the preparation of food was very important. One of
the ancient and surviving cookbooks is known as the Apicus. The Apicus
dates right back to 1st century BC.

It was after the downfall of the Romans that the spread of the Italian
cuisine began. Individual states started to uphold their separate
traditions and identities. Every region started its own special and unique
method of cooking, from the very basic preparation of the meatballs to
characteristic varieties of cheeses and also the wine produced in any
locale.

For example Northern states developed the Tuscan beef, on the other hand
black truffles was prepared in Marches, and the very famous Mozzarella and
Provolone cheeses developed in South, simultaneously being the host of a
lot of citrus fruits.

There were varieties in bread, pasta, and other different food preparation
methodologies according to the region. The eating habits were also a total
contrast as the people in Southern Italy loved hard-boiled spaghetti, but
those from the North preferred the soft-egg noodles.

Different cities started to become famous for their specialties like Milan
for Risotto, Bologna for Tortellini, while Naples for Pizzas.

In these past few years the Italian cuisine evolved greatly due to the
wealth from outside influences which added a flavor and an appeal. The
ancient Greeks with their wealthy imports from various places added an
exotic ingredients and spices to the Italian cuisine.

The Coastal regions of Italy are popular for delicious seafood and fish.
For example, while Sardinia has a traditional style of cooking that
includes foods such as Swordfish, anchovies, lobster, sardines, etc,
Sicily has heavy North-African influences.

Top 5 Lamb Recipes

Lamb can be one of the most tender meats and is delicious when cooked and
eaten off the bone. Here are some different lamb recipes which afford a
great way to cook and enjoy lamb.

Lamb Curry
Almost everyone enjoys a good curry and lamb is a perfect meat for it.
Lamb can be used to make a mild Rogan Josh or a much hotter Jalfrezi.

Chunky Lamb Stew
This is an ideal lamb recipe for colder nights, or just for when you're
particularly hungry. The advantage of a lamb stew is that once you have
prepared the ingredients it can be left on its own to cook whilst you
entertain your guests, or relax in front of the TV.

Aromatic Lamb
This is one of those lamb recipes that you have to be prepared to wait
for, as for the best flavour you should leave the lamb to marinate for 24
hours with ingredients like pepper, honey and rosemary.

Braised Lamb Casserole
This is another one of those lamb recipes for a cold day. Lamb casserole
needs to simmer for around 90 minutes with all of the ingredients in a
large casserole pot, but it's well worth the wait!

Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, Hearer of the Cries of the Suffering World

When people for the last three thousand years, in areas where there are a
heavy concentration of people that are Buddhists, Taoists, and Shinto
believers, there are always many followers of the Goddess of Compassion;
Kuan Yin. She is a Bodhisattva, or "Enlightenment Being." She has been
labeled as the One who Sees and Hears the Cries of the World. There are
temples dedicated to Kuan Yin, the Compassionate One, as she is the One
that you can turn to in times of trouble, fear, confusion, and despair.

The Kuan Yin Oracle is a way for her very powerful spirit to reveal her
compassion and answers to us. Through divination, dreams, magical
formulas, and mediumistic practices, Kuan Yin is able to "connect" with
us, and give us hope and comfort for what lies ahead of us. People visit
soul doctors, psychics, shamans, and consult oracles, use sticks, stones,
cards, and bones to find the answers that they seek. The Goddess of
Compassion gives you an insightful response that is a combination of
practical guidance, fortune-telling, and spiritual advice, which can be
very comforting and illuminating!

My name is Father Time, and I enjoy helping those with questions, to find
the answers with the aid of Kuan Yin, the Bodhisattva; the Compassionate
One. Please visit my fabulous Online SuperStore where there are thousands
of gift items for sale, and you can treat yourself to a "reading,"

World of Warcraft Loot Guide - Guide to the Mage Class to Make Lots of Money

The maga character is by far on the best characters for gold
making in warcraft. This is because of the Mage Class' ability to lure
mobs almost as much as they want, this is because they can do some cool
area damage that other Classes can't. It is pretty easy to see why this
ability is so valuable if you know how to use it. But how can you put the
Mage's ability and put it all together to make some serious gold. Let's
take a look at a few things.

The cool thin with AOE is that you does not have to target induvidial
mobs, but you can target a area insted. If you are the anchor then the
damage effects radiate outward to a pre-determined range that affect all
targets within the area. This is really some powerful skills to have.

Take your mage and go to Outlands, more specifically Nagrand, this is a
great place for you to make some gold. These primals sells for around 30g.

Another place you should visit with your beloved Mage, is Torokkar Forest,
there are many great loots around here. The Warp Stalker will give you
Warped Flesh at a high drop rate. You could me smart and learn the
skinning proffession. You can get a lot of high priced leather from the
basilisk. Way to often you will see palyers struggling to make gold, if
they have thought more about their professions skills, then it would not
be as hard. You can also get the Chunk O Basilisk which is equally
valuable. You can really stock up and make some serious profit this way.

Learning About Xbox 360 E Errors Can Help You Save Money

Out of the blue, while you're playing Halo, your screen becomes discolored
or blurred. Although you hope it's just some temporary problem with the
TV, the game suddenly stops. This is a situation that every Xbox 360 gamer
fears. However, there are many quick fixes for your Xbox 360 that you can
do yourself.

It's important to realize that there are a number of things that can cause
your system to have problems and not just one. While there is one problem
in particular that many experience, there are numerous problems you may be
dealing with.

It's paramount that you fully understand the E errors to assist you in
making the repair to your Xbox 360. An E error notifies you when the Xbox
360 takes in a single red light in the lower left corner. This will happen
after you reboot your system. After you reboot there will be one red light
flashing and show an error message onscreen. Errors are signified by an
"E" and two numbers.

DVD errors are attributed to the error codes of E64, E65 and E66. There
are numerous articles online to help you with the repair of a Xbox 360's
drive. There is also the possibility it can be caused by overheating as
well. Sometimes a simple reboot of the system is all that is required for
you to get it working again.

If you get E67, E68 or E69 these are hard drive errors. Reformating the
hard drive may solve the problem or just unplugging and plugging it back
in may do the trick as well. However, don't even attempt to reformat the
hard drive unless you have clear, step by step directions right in front
of you to guide you along.

E73 can signify a general hardware error. This can be caused by problems
with the ethernet or networking port. If your console is connected to the
internet via an ethernet cable, unplug it and try to play a game to
determine if the problem is with the cable as opposed to the unit itself.

E74 is the most common problem that you will be facing. Improper
installation of the AV cable is the most likely culprit in this particular
problem. You will be able to fix the Xbox 360 and resolve your issues by
unplugging it and plugging it back in. It also may be an ANA chip that has
gone awry or an issue with your general hardware relating to your system
overheating that is causing the problem.

What Are My Options When it Comes to Stopping Those Red Lights Flashing on My Xbox 360?

One day you go to start gaming, turn on your Xbox 360 and find red lights
flashing at you. You probably realize pretty quickly that this is not a
good thing. The actual problem that you will have to deal with depends on
how many lights are flashing at you from around the power button.

One or three flashing red lights means that your console has experienced a
hardware failure and you will have to get it repaired. Two or four
flashing red lights generally indicates a rather simpler problem.

Four red flashing lights usually means that the AV cable is not properly
plugged in. Just make sure that it is properly plugged in to the unit and
the television and you should be away gaming again.

Two flashing red lights indicates overheating of the system and in this
case the unit will probably feel very hot. With two flashing red lights
your best option is to make sure that your system is stored somewhere
where it is properly ventilated. Try taking it out of the display case and
putting it near an open window so that it can cool down properly.

One or three flashing red lights indicate problems which are not so easily
solved. You can either send the unit back to Microsoft for them to fix or
get hold of an Xbox 360 repair guide. A repair guide is a collection of
texts and videos which will walk you through the process of fixing the
unit and stopping the buildup of excessive heat inside it, thereby
preventing these kinds of errors from happening again in the future.

If you decide to get a repair guide, preview them before you buy and make
sure that they offer a full money back guarantee - with a guide that fits
these criteria, you will be gaming again in no time!

How To Make Homemade Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes

Every summer, my husband and I travel several times down to the south
Jersey Shore for vacations. While we are vacationing, we visit several
local seafood restaurants to try out their crab cakes.

A few months ago, one of my friends gave me her recipe for jumbo lump crab
cakes. What I really like about this recipe is that it tastes just as
good, if not better...than those expensive crab cakes you get in beach
side restaurants.

Once you have them completely cooked, you can let them cool and then
package them properly for the freezer. They make quick meals on busy
weeknights.

Crab Cakes Recipe

1 lb. fresh jumbo lump crab meat
1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
5 tablespoons butter (not margarine)
2 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dill, finely chopped
juice from 1/2 of a lemon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cold milk, lightly beaten with 1 egg

I used a manual food processor to chop my onions, celery, parsley and dill
and then set aside. Place your jumbo lump crab meat in a large bowl and
set aside. In a large sauce pan, saute the chopped onion and celery in 2
tablespoons of butter. Remove from heat and it let cool for 3 minutes and
stir gently into the crab meat in your bowl. It is important to try not to
break up the crab meat lumps.

Stir together your parsley, dill, juice from 1/2 of your lemon, salt,
black pepper and your dry bread crumbs until combined. Blend in the egg
yolks, dry mustard and heavy whipping cream. Once mixture is combined,
stir this mixture into the crab meat mixture. Refrigerate mixture for
approximately 30 minutes in a sealed bowl.

Remove bowl from refrigerator and gently shape mixture into balls. Pour
your 2 cups of flour into a pie plate. Whip together the egg and milk
mixture into a small bowl and set aside. Roll balls into your flour and
then dip balls into the egg and milk mixture. Gently flatten the balls
into burger sized patties and set onto a plate. Once patties are made,
place foil over the plate and place back into the refrigerator for 45
minutes.

Heat the remaining butter in a large skillet and carefully brown the crab
cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are done.

EVE Online Mac Client Available

Fab news Apple Fans. Your favorite Icelandic PC game
company, CCP Games, released the Mac version of the Trinity customer for
EVE online . The EVE Online Mac customer has the same functionality as the
Windows client, and gives a point and click interface to an online world
where 220,000 subscribers run 460,000 characters, and often times have
more than 25,000 connections to the same shared world server ( peace ) at
the same time.

EVE Online Mac allows you to connect to the most successful science
fiction massively multiplayer online game on the market. With over five
thousand solar systems to explore, all lavishly ginned up with space
graphics from nebulas to planets to the compulsory star smashing
battleships, frigates and destroyers, the EVE Online experience ties you
to 4 factions carving a new civilization out of an intergalactic dark age.

Regrettably, there aren't any Mac versions of the 3rd party utilities like
EVEtrade and EVEmon yet for EVE Online Mac.

On EVE Online, you perform a number of missions, like mining, hunting down
pirates, and building things to build up your resource bases, and improve
gear ; there's more to do than just random carnage against randomly
generated PC characters ; the majority of the challenge of EVE Online
comes from the way that security zones ( how much law and order is
maintained ) change from system to system across the galaxy. As a
downloader of EVE Online Mac, you can take part in this awesome gaming
experience, mining, building, patrolling and crushing your enemies as the
universe burns around you in fantastic 3 dee color and animation.

EVE Online's player demographics average about 27 years old, with most
players putting in 17 or 18 hours a week. It costs $14.95 a month for a
subscription. If you are still not certain, there's a free fourteen day
trial to work out if the obsession is for you.

The Horde Leveling Guide that helped me reach 80 in less than two weeks

Everybody is wondering how to level fast in WoW. Well, it's simple.

> First of all, get a good leveling spec for your class. Arms or fury for
warrior, instead of protection, shadow for priest, instead of holy etc.

> Focus on killing fast while minimizing downtime. Do the right quests in
the right order and ignore mindless grinding because Blizzard didn't
make World of Warcraft for you to kill 10.000 mobs in order to reach
level 80.

But how to find the right quests to level easier and painless? I remember
once taking a quest from Thousand Needles, Shimmering Flats which sent me
to Stranglethorn Vale. Once i reached STV the goblin there sent me back to
Shimmering Flats. Now that's a huge waste of leveling time. If only i knew
that quest wasn't good for leveling.

Alas, i didn't have a good leveling guide in my hands back then.

I have to admit (with shame), before it used to take me over 2 months to
reach level 80, where all the goodies in Wrath of the Lich King await. I
couldn't take it anymore.

But it's all over now. I found the perfect leveling guide for World of
Warcraft. It's called Zygor's Guide and it has both the Horde and the
Alliance versions. The neat thing is the in-game add-on so you don't have
to Alt Tab every 2 minutes to see what quest to do next. Combine that with
specific tips for harder quests and there you have it.

Using Zygor's Leveling Guide i managed to reach level 80 in almost two
weeks. Now how's that for a change?

You probably have the same problem as me. You feel confused, don't know
where to go next. So many quests, not knowing which one to do first. Been
there, done that. Fortunately for you, I had a friend review Zygor's
Guide.

> Click here to read Zygor's Guide review.

My friend, i guarantee, if you follow Zygor's Guide you'll reach level 80
in no time.

Happy leveling!

One ball, one mind

If you really want to have a perfect show in golf, then one mind is
necessary for us to focus on the ball. Here have four tips for us to have
one ball in our head. Of course, you may say you can have some golf
forefront products such as TaylorMade R9 Driver for example to improve our
swing, but this is not the best solution. First, take care of your lie,
yardage, wind, hazards and even your intended target as well. These
environment can never be missed in our mind, and however, we always pay no
attention to the detail, and maybe this is also the reason for our
failure, not only in golf, but also in all fields of life. Second,
Teeing off from a severely elevated tee box ("Lombard Street" at Moorpark
Country Club in Moorpark, Calif.), the yardage book says I have 240 yards
to the rough. If I hit my 5-wood (which normally goes 240), I'll drive
through the fairway (remember, downhill shots go farther). Therefore, I
must come up with a "hard" yardage, or what the shot actually plays. In
this case, I've subtracted 15 to 20 yards to account for the elevation
change and have selected a 3-iron instead. Third, Never forget to
practice, even if you are genius, without practice, you are still normal.
All too often, golfers take practice swings that don't resemble how the
actual shot is going to be played. But actually, only the practice can
create a feeling of the shot. Fourth, Stay focused on an external target
and execute by just letting go. Maintain a focus on what you want the shot
to do, and what is more important is that, you have to be more confidence
for your shot. Follow the step mentioned above, and you can enjoy your
success.

without raising my blood sugar level. In fact, I have included directions
for making this pie diabetic friendly. And I especially love anything

peaches in it can make my mouth water! If you are just learning to bake,

1 unbaked deep-dish pie crust

TOPPING:

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

To make the pie filling:
Mix 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl. Add the egg and
almond extract to the sugar mixture; mix together well. Add the peaches
and toss gently to coat with the sugar mixture. Arrange the peach slices

topping, substitute Splenda granular for the sugar and use Splenda's brown
sugar blend instead of the brown sugar. Use only 2 tablespoons of the
Splenda brown sugar blend in place of the 1/4 cup packed light brown
sugar.

2 Microwave Chicken Dinner Recipes For Camping

During the summer season, my family loves to go out traveling and camping.
Our travel trailer has a stove top, refrigerator and a microwave so, I
look for recipes that don't require the use of an oven to make for our
family dinners when we are out on the road camping.

The following 2 recipes can be completely made by using your microwave and
require less than 1 hour from start to finish. You can also make them up
the day ahead of time and take them with you to reheat up in the microwave
if desired.

Chicken With Mushroom Sauce

3 tablespoons butter (not margarine)
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup milk
1 brick of cream cheese, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon chicken soup base
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

In a glass baking dish, combine 2 tablespoons butter, sliced mushrooms and
onions. Microwave on high for 3 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through the
cooking time. When done, stir in the milk, cubed cream cheese, chicken
soup base, salt and black pepper. Microwave on high for 3 minutes,
stirring halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the microwave and
set aside. In another glass baking dish, place your chicken breasts and 1
tablespoon of butter. Microwave the breasts for 8-10 minutes or until they
are no longer pink in the middle. Remove dish from the microwave and pour
the mushroom sauce over top. Stir to blend ingredients and place back into
the microwave. Cook on high for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Italian Chicken And Pasta Dinner

4 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, finely shredded
1/4 cup olives, sliced

In a large glass bowl, combine the uncooked noodles, water and salt.
Microwave pasta on high setting for 10-12 minutes or until fork tender.
You will want to stir the pasta 2-3 times during the cooking process so
that it doesn't get sticky. Drain water and set aside. In a glass baking
dish, combine the butter and onion. Microwave on high setting for 3
minutes and then add in the chicken breasts and cook on the high setting
for 10-12 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. In a separate bowl,
combine the tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and whipping cream.
(I like to use a silicone spatula.) Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the
cooked chicken breasts and cook on high for 4-5 minutes. Remove baking
dish and sprinkle parsley, Mozzarella cheese and sliced olives on top.
Place back in the microwave and cook on high for an additional 3-4 minutes
or until cheese has melted. Serve over the cooked pasta noodles.

The Metaphysical Properties of Lapis Lazuli: One of the True Birthstones of Sagittarius Astrology (November 23 – December 20)

Sagittarius: The Adventurer Searching for Deeper Meaning in Life

Sagittarius is a masculine fire sign ruled by Jupiter. It rules the 9th
House, the Higher Mind & the Search for Meaning.

Jupiter is associated with long-distance travel, both physically and
through expansion of our mind, spirit, and how we live a meaningful life.
This influence of Jupiter is seen in Sagittarians' love of world travel as
well as religion, politics, and philosophy.

Sagittarians are Well Liked People

It's hard not to like Sagittarians, for their openness, generosity, and
sociable nature. They are deep thinkers in search of universal wisdom,
attracting them to philosophy and religion. Their minds can grasp both the
details and the bigger picture: they can think with intellectual precision
but also intuitively. That unusual combination of thinking skills allows
them to be at the forefront of creative ideas.

They are idealistic and care about the state of the world, leading them to
take up vocations in medicine, education, religion, and politics. They
need to be highly independent in their work and in their personal lives.
They love to travel to widen their horizon and they are fascinated by
other cultures.

Sagittarians are blessed to live active, successful lives. Everything
about them is expansive: their outgoing personalities, good fortune, sense
of humor, optimism, leadership qualities, sense of adventure, and constant
quest for knowledge. They love their freedom and independence. They are
the ultimate high-energy free spirits—a true fire sign. They easily
inspire and motivate others.

The main challenge for Sagittarians is to focus on their most important
goals and passions among all that attracts their interest, and channel
their boundless energy in those well-defined directions. They also need to
apply their need for freedom in a way that allows them to achieve their
goals. In other words, Sagittarians can benefit from a dose of
self-discipline and focus, especially in their relationships, career, and
finances.

How Gemstones Can Enhance Your Sagittarius Experience

Gemstones are the perfect way for Sagittarians to bring focus and balance
into their lives.

Gemstones have both physical and metaphysical qualities that can enhance
all aspects of your well-being. The perfectly aligned crystal structure of
gemstones creates an energy field that interacts with our own when you
hold it or wear it on your body. In this way, the gemstone can be used to
calm you, bring you mental clarity, increase your energy, enhance your
creativity, and much more.

Astrology and Healing Gemstones

Astrological principles manifest at all levels of creation, from the
largest bodies in the cosmos to the tiniest particles of atoms—all are
part of the same network of universal energy. Based on the hermetic
principle "As above, so below," those universal principles allow us to
read relations among the planets and extrapolate those principles to
things here on Earth, to events in our lives, as well as to our natural
environment. The universal principles that govern the planets are also
seen on the much smaller level of gemstones, crystals, and metals.

The Signature of Gemstones

Each gemstone is associated with specific planets. You are already aware
that each planet has its own personality in astrology. And each gemstone
has a personal "signature"—specific metaphysical qualities, different for
each stone, that arise from the stone's association with its planets based
on their individual color, crystal structure as well as the chemical
composition. In this article we will talk about one of the true
birthstones for Sagittarians which is Lapis Lazuli. You can find more
articles on true birthstones in my birthstone series for the other
astrological signs of the zodiac on my website or on articlesbase.

How to Make Gemstones Work for You

By considering the individual signature of gemstones, you can select the
right gems for very specific purposes, according to their astrological
qualities.

All Gemstones can be used in three different ways:

* They are precious objects of beauty that may hold a special meaning
for us. We enjoy their beauty by giving them a special place on a
shelf, desk, or altar.
* They can be used in meditation by tuning into their frequency for
the purpose of balancing our energy field.
* They can be made into jewelry pieces for our pleasure, enhancing our
individual expression of beauty and sense of empowerment. I call those
pieces of power soul jewelry.

As you can tell I am very passionate about healing gems and all the
different applications of those enchanting allies to raise your frequency
for balance and more joy. I have written a book about my over 30 years
experience in the field of healing gemstones, meaningful jewelry and
astrology.

You can learn more about the metaphysical properties of 67 different
gemstones through my book Jewelry and Gems for Self-Discovery: Choosing
Gemstones that Delight the Eyes & Strengthen the Soul I teach you about
astrology and how to read the blue print of your own chart. If you know
where your challenges are, you can then take steps to support or balance
yourself with your 12 personal healing gemstones. Jewelry and Gems for
Self-Discovery is a treasure chest of ideas about Soul Jewelry; on how to
select, purchase, and wear jewelry that will enhance your body, heart,
mind, and soul.

Sagittarian Lapis Lazuli: A Gemstone for Focus and Peace of Mind [1]

"Lapis Lazuli is one of the true gemstones of Sagittarius. It is composed
of different minerals and therefore some gem experts consider it to not be
a mineral, but a rock with Lazurite as its main ingredient. This opaque
blue stone is not very hard—its Mohs' hardness is only 5 to 6, making it
easy to carve and cut. For that reason it has been used in jewelry since
ancient times. In Egypt it was considered a sacred stone and was used in
jewelry and sacred objects like scarabs. To me the most beautiful Lapis is
dark blue with spots of golden pyrite, which makes it a very
unique-looking specimen. Lapis should be set in gold.

The best and darkest quality Lapis Lazuli is found in Afghanistan.
Deposits in Chile and Russia yield lighter blue stones with whitish or
grayish veins.

Lapis brings us peace of mind. In a relaxed state of mind we develop a
realistic and compassionate acceptance of things as they are. While most
blue gemstones used in jewelry are translucent, Lapis is opaque, a quality
that helps us achieve a concreteproblem-solving orientation, supporting a
very practical mind that focuses on the task at hand and deals with it,
rather than being distracted by extraneous worries."

I wish you a very enchanted journey into the mysterious world of healing
gemstones and looking at them in a new way! If you enjoyed this article
and my perspective on things, I like to invite you to also visit my
Astrological Signs Weather Report & Healing Gems Blog where I discuss the
actual, universal, astrological forces and the special powers of gemstones
and inspire you to use them wisely for a more successful and joyful life.

Aloha and many blessings, Shakti.

There Are Two Red Lights Flashing on the Front of My Xbox 360 - Can I Solve This Problem Easily?

Two red flashing lights on the front of your Xbox 360 means that the unit
has overheated. This probably isn't due to where you store the unit, and
probably is due to excess heat building up inside it. It might be possible
to fix this just by dusting your unit with a dry cloth, paying particular
attention to the fans and the back of the unit.

You can also get a vacuum cleaner and clean it that way, just make sure
that you have turned the unit off at the wall first.

If that doesn't get your Xbox working again, you can get a Nyko
Intercooler. This is a fan which you plug into the back of your unit. It
pumps cool air into the console which prevents it from overheating.

If your Xbox 360 continues to freeze up and flash two red lights at you
then you should probably send it back to Microsoft. Unfortunately this way
it will usually take about six weeks to come back to you, which is quite a
long time, especially if you play every day.

The other option you have is that you can get an Xbox 360 repair guide and
fix the unit yourself. The guide will be a collection of texts and videos
which will walk you through the whole process so that you can just use
household items to stop the build up of heat inside the console and avoid
getting this error in the future. Many repair guides are very good, but
you must make sure that you preview the videos first and that there is a
full money back guarantee. As long as you follow these guidelines you
should be fine.

Program Your Self Thin - Self Hypnosis For Weight Loss

All of us have two brains – the conscious and the unconscious brain. The
conscious brain is the part that is logical and rational and where our
willpower lives. The unconscious brain is the part that that carries out
automatic functions such as breathing and where all our habits are stored.
The unconscious mind is so much quicker and powerful than the conscious
mind. This is the reason why if you want to automatically be thin, then
you must program your unconscious mind, and the best way to do this is
through self hypnosis for weight loss.

Although self hypnosis is often covered by mysticism, using self-hypnosis
for weight loss is not something new. It has been used by many people to
help them attain their ideal weight. In fact, there is really nothing
mysterious in it. It basically involves giving oneself positive
suggestions while in a deeply relaxed, hypnotic state. The key is to learn
how to go into a deeply relaxed state and how to structure the
auto-suggestions or affirmations properly.

Self-hypnosis for weight loss and for any other goal starts with learning
the progressive muscle relaxation technique. This technique includes
relaxing different body parts till you feel heaviness and warmth, or even
tingling sensations in the body. The next step is to go even deeper into
relaxation using imagery. The third step is to repeat the positive
affirmations in your mind while visualizing your special place with all
your senses. The last step is to come back out of hypnotic state slowly.

Pairing weight loss and self hypnosis will help you manage your emotions,
eat like a normal person, stop overeating, relax, stay motivated, stick to
your weight loss plan, and feel good about yourself and your body.

Wii Fit Exercise: Does it Really Work?

It seems too good to be true right? Exercise while enjoying a fun video
game? Wii Fit seeks to do just that. Shigero Myamoto, the computer whiz
behind Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda, has a new product that is aimed at
everyone. Wii Fit goes along with the original Wii console and comes with
a CD full of exercises, information, and a balance board. You get a
12-inch by 20-inch plastic slab that looks a lot like the steps used in
aerobics classes. The balance board is used extensively in the game. All
the exercises are done on the board or next to it. It senses whether
you're correctly positioned, and even functions as a scale. The balance
board will tell you your weight and body mass index when you first start
using Wii Fit. In addition to balance games, Wii Fit offers strength
training, yoga, and aerobics. With each category you will have four our
five options to begin and as you progress you can "unlock" more options
for each exercise.

Strength training, for example, allows you to choose between torso twists,
lunges, jackknifes, single-leg extensions, and push-up/side plank combos.
The balance board will tell you whether you are doing these exercises
correctly. It counts how many times you do them and will offer general
suggestions. For example, while doing a side plank it will tell you not to
drop your hips.

Aerobic exercises start with a basic step, a run, or hula-hooping. All of
these offer a fairly low level of cardio activity, but by advancing in the
game it will offer you more and more difficult exercises.

Balance games consist of the ski slalom run, a ski jump, table tilt, and
soccer "heading" during which you butt the onscreen ball with your head.
These are a key component to Wii Fit because they determine your fitness
level throughout the game.

Although the Wii does offer several solutions for excellent home fitness
that are fun and entertaining, this is only part of the equation if you
are really trying to get more fit. As any fitness trainer will tell you,
your diet is at least 80-90% responsible for making any real progress with
your physical fitness. You need to pay attention to what you eat, staying
away from fat, sugar, and empty calories. Try to eat plenty of whole
grains, fruits, and vegetables each day in place of junk food.

If you want to really make a difference in your fitness level, it is wise
to use your diet as a tool to help you. Protein supplements are a very
common way to quickly and easily boost your protein level so that your
muscles have the necessary fuel to grow. By increasing your lean muscle,
you effectively increase your metabolism, which naturally helps your body
to burn fat. Whey Protein is one of the best protein supplements you can
buy. It is 90% protein and a naturally byproduct of dairy, so it is an
all-natural, extremely efficient way to metabolize plenty of additional
protein. With this kind of fuel, your Wii Fit workouts will be more
pleasurable and you will see results faster than you ever thought
possible.

Baking Desserts In Your Crock Pot

Did you know that you can bake delicious desserts using your crock pot?
These days, you can cook or bake, just about anything in your slow cooker.

Here are a few tips to get you started.

1. As a rule of thumb, it's not a good idea to remove the lid during
cooking. Removing the lid releases the heat and steam, which can add-on
additional cooking time.

2. When making 'sticky' types of desserts, spray the inside of your pot
with non-stick cooking spray. A light coating will do.

3. When cooking breads and cakes in your slow cooker, you will want to use
the 'high' setting. The 'low' setting is too low to give your cakes and
breads the texture that you are trying to achieve.

4. High-Altitude Cooking. Allow more time than given in the recipe at high
altitudes, over 4,000 feet.

5. If you don't own a kitchen timer, invest in one. When I use my slow
cooker to make desserts, I use a timer to remind me when they are done. I
don't want to over-bake my desserts.

Here are 3 easy dessert recipes for you to try out in your Crock Pot.

Cherry Cobbler

1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. white sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
non-stick cooking spray

Coat the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in
the cherry pie filling. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar,
baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the melted
butter, milk, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Spread evenly over the
cherry pie filling. Cover, and cook on High for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until
a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.

Lemon Pudding Cake

3 eggs, separated
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/4 c. lemon juice
3 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/8 tsp. salt

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, set aside. Beat egg yolks, blend
in the lemon peel, juice, butter and milk. Combine flour, sugar and salt,
add to the egg-milk mixture, beating until smooth. Fold into beaten egg
whites. Spoon into slow cooker pot, cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours.

Apple-Cranberry Dessert

6 cooking apples, peeled and sliced
1 c. fresh cranberries
1 c. sugar

1 container sour cream

Forget Demo Tapes: Get Discovered With Free MP3 Downloads

Getting discovered is the most important thing for any artist. It's your
ticket to the fame and fortune promised by the entertainment industry.
Artists through the years have tried all sorts of strategies and tricks to
get themselves noticed by recording industry players. Strangely enough,
the key to your golden dreams could very well lie in giving something for
nothing – that is, free MP3 downloads – to people you don't even know.

Why Demo Tapes Are Outdated

Up to about a decade ago, getting a demo tape to a record label or a
producer was the best way to get your sound discovered by the industry.
Remember, though, that you're far from alone in your quest for discovery.

Hundreds of other unsigned bands and artists out there flood record
labels' offices with demo tapes and CDs, so don't expect them to be able
to give your demo a lot of attention. In fact, unless you have an agent or
producer with a lot of contacts on your side, breaking into the mainstream
could be very difficult for a while.

MP3 Downloads Mean Business

It might sound strange that the Internet, most often used to party
pictures from last week or the newest funny video, could become your
ticket to discovery. If you think about it, offering your music as a free
MP3 Downloads could be even better than manually sending your demos over
to an office that will most likely ignore your submission.

Even the music industry is catching up to the zeitgeist that is the
Internet. People on the inside know that there's a lot of undiscovered
talent – yours included – floating around on the Internet. Listeners and
music lovers are even more acutely aware of this fact, which is why so
many of them keep their ears tuned to new MP3 downloads online.

Putting your work online doesn't sound like the most conventional way to
break into the business, but it's certainly been known to work. Some of
today's most popular artists like Amy Winehouse, Mika and Lady GaGa
started out on the Internet. It was their free MP3 downloads, making the
rounds of computers and media players around the world, which cemented
their place in the pop culture of the time.

Free MP3 Downloads Work Better

Going the direct route to the recording agents and execs themselves isn't
the only way to enter the industry. When execs hear about bands and
artists that have earned credit on the street, they're often the ones who
approach the artists. This reversal of roles, however, is not easy to come
by. It takes a long time to build a name on the gig and underground
circuit before the industry takes notice.

G-Force PS3 Game: A Guinea Pig Adventure

When you have a PS3 you understand that any game at all will, regardless
of type, play very well on it. Disney just put out this cute movie called
G-Force. PlayStation has released G-Force PS3 and you can either rent for
short play or purchase it. For those out there like me, buying is better.
I am good with my games, and that way I can play it for as long as I want.
Eventually If it suits me I will sell it. This one though is so fun I
don't see that happening.

This game does appear at first to be nothing more than a cutesy game for
small children. Once you play however you figure out that it has some
detailed gaming within all that cuteness. The game is made by Disney
Interactive Studios and stars guinea pigs. Not just any guinea pigs
though, these guys are well trained and highly skilled. They have some
very cool toys that do interesting things and help them with their
undercover operation. All of this makes a very fun game.

There are some mean and rotten household appliances that get between the
cute little G-Force guys and their goal. The graphics are top notch and
you get ahead by problem solving and figuring out puzzles. The team gets
help from good appliances like a water cooler for instance, to make it
through the mission.

Unique game play allows you to switch between Darwin the guinea pig and
Mooch the house fly, which is really a great feature, plus each character
has its own set of abilities which makes it even more interesting.
Puzzles allow you to reach higher levels and get new stuff and the voices
are right out the film, so you feel kind of like you are playing the
movie.

Chess Pieces – How many make up a Chess Set?

The game of Chess is made up of two sets of 16 pieces, including one king,
one queen, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, and eight pawns. All of
the 16 pieces have specific positions on the chess board. The chess pieces
themselves come in a variety of different styles and designs and the names
of each piece did not traditionally start out as the names we use today.
Chess pieces come in a variety of different materials and of course vary
in prices. Often choosing the chess pieces for yourself when setting up
your own board can be a very difficult task with so many options being on
offer. There are traditional offerings as well as novelty pieces all of
which are incredible to look at but the choice comes down to a personal
one. The game of chess itself is well known throughout the world and most
people who see a chess board have an idea what it is and in many cases
they will be able to tell you the names of some of the chess pieces.
Usually easily established chess pieces by most are The King, Queen and
Pawn. However there are many who are not always sure on the names of the
Bishop, Knight and Rook. Many will also not be aware of the special rules
and moves of each individual chess piece. What is more unusual is that
avid chess players often have no idea why those pieces are named the way
they have. The game of chess is said to have been conceived in India and
all the chess pieces were all based on elements of war. Those elements
being infantry, cavalry, elephants and chariots all represented by the
pieces such as with the Pawns, Knights, Bishops, and Rooks. Originally The
King was referred to as the General and it was not until the game made its
way to Europe that the pieces were redesigned with a more court like
design rather than that of a military one and The General changed his name
to The King. A theory regarding the story behind the design of some of the
current chess pieces are as follows: Pawns - First line of defense and
represented the peasants from a court. Considered expendable as the game
was built around protection of the court. It is said that during the phase
of medieval chess the pawns were generally named relating to peasants
occupations. This did not alter the use of the pawn only provided a more
interesting story to go along with the game itself. Rooks – Symbolic of
the chariot. It is said that Persian war chariots were often armored with
fortified stone work hence the look of a mobile building. Eventually these
were redesigned to the look of a turret and the modern Rook. Knights –
Knights are usually designed as horses and that was their history in the
game. Bishops - Bishops are generally given a tall hat much like a
Bishop's hence the name Bishop. The King & The Queen – Most often depicted
with a royal crowns. Chess players will buy chess pieces as collection
items with a versatile use as well as for actual play of the game. However
you will often find in modern and even retro interior decoration themes
that a chess board and chess pieces are used as designer objects rather
than for the practical use. Many find beauty in the look of the board and
pieces and even though they are missing the most important aspect of play
itself there is no reason that everyone should not get benefit, in
whatever form, from the board and chess pieces themselves. Whatever your
reason for having your own chess set, there are so many different
variations in material and design that there are almost limitless choices
for your board and chess pieces today.

Yoga Improves Your Overall Health

Yoga is an ancient spiritual tradition dating back 5000 years. But today,
many people separate the spiritual yoga and the physical yoga, and focus
primarily on the physical aspect: stretching and breathing as an exercise
program. Yoga has many health benefits. It will improve your balance
and posture. It will also improve your mood, memory, and your overall
well-being. Specifically, yoga can improve your flexibility, build lean
muscle, and reduce stress.

Flexibility—Stretching of your body will help your joints and muscles to
become more flexible. Yoga especially helps your legs, back, shoulders,
and hips become more flexible. Yoga is a serious of poses that stretch
your muscles. As you do more yoga, you will feel yourself becoming more
flexible. Not only will your muscles become more flexible, but your
joints will be more flexible as well. Each time you practice the poses
you will be able to reach a little farther. Yoga will loosen your tight
muscles by releasing the lactic acid that builds up while weight training.
Yoga is a total body stretch. It stretches not only the muscle, but the
ligaments and tendons.

Building Lean Muscle—Yoga is a way of building muscle without the bulk.
Yoga uses isometric resistance to help build lean muscle. Isometrics
uses the body's own weight as resistance. This happens when the muscle
does not change its length. For example, when you lift a dumbbell you are
shortening the muscle, and when you lower the dumbbell you are lengthening
the muscle. Isometrics does not move the added weight to make it
stronger. This type of training is easier on the muscle.

In addition to yoga another good way to build lean muscle is by taking

your immune system healthy. But mainly, it helps build lean muscle and
promotes the loss of fat giving you a lean physique. When purchasing Whey
Protein be sure to buy Isolate Whey Protein solutions. They contain 90 %
pure protein without the fats and carbohydrates of a Whey Protein
Concentrate.

4-cup bowl with clear plastic wrap. Spread 1/2 cup of the sour cream
mixture in the bottom of the bowl. Layer with half of the cracker crumbs,
then 1 cup of the sour cream mixture, 1/2 cup of the crumbs, then the
remaining sour cream mixture. Cover and chill for 24 hours. Unmold onto a
serving platter; remove the plastic wrap. Top with the remaining cracker
crumbs. Serve with fresh vegetables and assorted crackers.

Guitar Beginner Tips

Quite often a novice guitar player will be looking for guitar beginner
tips because they have been given a guitar, become interested in learning
to play it and not been able to come up with the money for lessons. The
most logical thing to do when you first become interested in learning to
play your guitar is get hold of a chord book and start practicing some
simple chords.

Guitar Beginner Tip Number One: Your Body Needs To Learn.

Trying to practice playing chords without any advice or help often
overwhelms the new guitarist with questions like, "should playing guitar
hurt my fingers so much?" and "why do my fingers keep muffling the
strings?".

Discomfort - even pain, is normal when you begin to play guitar. Think
about it. You are training your muscles to do things that they have never
had to do before. It's natural that they should complain. Although this is
a small stage in learning guitar, in terms of time, the physical
discomfort can often turn people off guitar playing for life.

Guitar Beginner Tip Number Two: You Need To Toughen Your Fingers.

Your left hand finger tips need to form callouses so that pushing down on
the strings does not hurt. Unfortunately, the way to do this is to play on
in spite of the pain until your fingers start to get tougher.

Guitar Beginner Tip Number Three: Relax.

When you first try to make chord shapes with your left hand, the fingers
will tend to get in each other's way. The way to fix this is to slow down
and work on getting each individual finger in place so that they do not
muffle the strings. This entails beginning with how you hold the guitar
and your general overall posture. Start with trying to hold the guitar in
playing position without excess tension, then go onto making a simple
chord shape like E minor in the first position. Strum it a few times,
keeping an awareness of any changes in tension in your body.

After you get used to the sensation of trying to play the guitar in a
relaxed manner, try extending your efforts to slightly more demanding
chords like the C major and A minor. If you keep practicing chords with a
weather eye on your whole body, by the time you get to practicing barre
chords you will be in a position to make your guitar playing progress much
faster.

Guitar Beginner Tip Number Four: Get A Guitar Your Body Likes.

My final guitar beginner tip is about the first guitar you buy. Be
prepared to do a lot of searching and a lot of trying out guitars. As a
beginner you need to get the feel of holding and strumming a guitar. Get
advice from a friend or an online guitar forum as far as brand, condition
or quality of a guitar you're interested in, but you should also be
influenced by what feels comfortable for you. After all, you are going to
be sitting in your room playing it for quite some time.
