That '2nd Referendum' Petition is a Silly Fraud, you Credulous Muppets
The House of Commons petitions committee is investigating allegations of fraud in connection with a petition calling for a second EU referendum.
Its inquiry is focused on the possibility that some names could be fraudulent –77,000 signatures have already been removed.
More than 3.2 million signatures are on the petition, but PM David Cameron has said there will be no second vote.
The UK voted by 52% to 48% to leave the EU in Thursday's referendum.
Helen Jones, who chairs the cross-party petitions committee, said in a statement posted on Twitter that it was taking the allegations "very seriously".
Of course, the fact that massive fraud has been obvious for days (10,000 signatures from the Vatican) didn't stop the credulous muppets of the German public televisions news shows from reporting all those signatures with a condescending smirk, as if they were real.
Merkel and Brexit
For all the praise she gets, Angela Merkel has been one of the most disastrous European leaders in my lifetime. She's as responsible for Brexit as anyone I can think of, thanks to two catastrophic decisions she made.
The first was her insistence on punishing Greece following its collapse after the Great Recession. There's plenty of blame to go around on all sides for the Greece debacle, but as the continent's economic leader Germany held most of the high cards during negotiations over Greece's fate. Merkel had a choice: (a) punish Greece for running up unsustainable debts and lying about them, or (b) accept thatGermany bore much of the blame itself for the crisis and that Greece had no way of rescuing itself thanks to the straitjacket of the common currency. The former was a crowd pleaser. The latter was unpopular and would have required sustained, iron-spined leadership. In the event, Merkel chose to play to the crowds, and Greece has been a basket case ever since—with no end in sight. It hardly went unnoticed in Britain how Europe treated a country that was too entangled with the EU to either fight back or exit, and it made Britain's decision to forego the common currency look prescient. And if that had been a good choice, maybe all the rest of "ever closer union" wasn't such a great idea either.
Merkel's second bad decision was more recent. Here is David Frum: "If any one person drove the United Kingdom out of the European Union, it was Angela Merkel, and her impulsive solo decision in the summer of 2015 to throw open Germany—and then all Europe—to 1.1 million Middle Eastern and North African migrants, with uncountable millions more to come." It's hard to fault Merkel for this on a humanitarian basis, but on a political basis it was a disaster. The barely-controlled wave of refugees Merkel encouraged has caused resentment and more all over Europe, and it unquestionably played a big
role in the immigrant backlash in Britain that powered the Leave vote.
Brexit Fails 47-53
I'm outsourcing this prediction to Kevin Drum:
My sense—though I'd prefer actual data if anyone has collected it—is that secession votes usually follow a pattern: the leavers get an upward bump a few weeks before voting day, but stayers get a bump in the few days before voting day. A fair number of people flirt with the idea of leaving, but then get scared at the last minute and decide to vote for the status quo instead. Basically, in any secession referendum, I figure that Leave needs to be polling at 55 percent or higher to have a realistic chance of winning.
As of today, the polls are still tied, so my guess is that Brexit will fail on Thursday. If I'm right that about 5 percent of the leavers will get cold feet and change their minds, the final tally will be something like 53-47 percent in favor of remaining in the EU. We'll find out in a couple of days.
Immigration Skepticism is a Revolt Against the Elites
Megan McArdle talks to ordinary middle-class English people about immigration in Luton:
I bought some Polish sausage and pastry at an off-license, some Indian dumplings and Thai noodles at a couple of food trucks, and I sat on a bench in the mall, listening to people from three continents chat with each other in more than half a dozen languages, none of which I spoke.
As an American, this did not strike me as odd; this is what our cities have been like for centuries, particularly on the coasts. One group of immigrants moves in, creates an enclave, then gets rich, assimilates and moves out, making way for the next group that will throw a little of their food, their language and their customs into our vast melting pot. But this is not normal in most of the world. Nor is it necessarily welcome.
Anti-immigration sentiment in the U.S. is often found in places that don't have enormous immigrant populations, and wonks who proclaim this to be irrational seem not to grasp that those people may be looking at the places that have been transformed by immigration and responding with a fervent "No, thank you." There's a lot to be gained from globalism, the mixing of two or more cultures into something new. But something specific and local and much-loved is inevitably lost at the same time, and the people who feel that loss most keenly are the inward-looking people who stay in place, not internationalist elites.
So it's not that my food was bad — it was all quite good — or that there was anything wrong with the immigrants serving and eating it. They all looked like quite nice people. But it was all very different from traditional British food, traditional British people. And no matter how hard we try to argue that it doesn't matter, it does — politically, if in no other way. Especially when things aren't going all that well for the natives.
Somehow, over the last half-century, Western elites managed to convince themselves that nationalism was not real. Perhaps it had been real in the past, like cholera and telegraph machines, but now that we were smarter and more modern, it would be forgotten in the due course of time as better ideas supplanted it.
That now seems hopelessly naive. People do care more about people who are like them — who speak their language, eat their food, share their customs and values. And when elites try to ignore those sentiments — or banish them by declaring that they are simply racist — this doesn't make the sentiments go away. It makes the non-elites suspect the elites of disloyalty. For though elites may find something vaguely horrifying about saying that you care more about people who are like you than you do about people who are culturally or geographically further away, the rest of the population is outraged by the never-stated corollary: that the elites running things feel no greater moral obligation to their fellow countrymen than they do to some random stranger in another country. And perhaps we can argue that this is the morally correct way to feel — but if it is truly the case, you can see why ordinary folks would be suspicious about allowing the elites to continue to exercise great power over their lives.
Much of what is foolish and tendentious in the German immigration debate is caused by the failure to realize that immigration affects people in different social classes differently. The Europhile consultants in Prenzlauer Berg associate immigration mainly with delectable ethnic food and cheaper home renovations. As long as they are unable to understand why supermarket cashiers don't share this view, they will continue being (hypocritically, disingenuously) baffled by anti-immigrant sentiment.
Germany's Cunning Plan to Dominate Global Cricket
The Süddeutsche Zeitung has discovered something awesome: Migrants are a hidden gold mine (g)! When it comes to cricket, that is. Before 2015, there were only 1500 cricket players in all of Germany. After "Angela Merkel opened the borders," (the article actually puts it this way) though, cricket-mad migrants from places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India streamed in. Now the phones are ringing off the hook at the German Cricket Federation, which still "can't believe" its luck. Officials there are hoping for a dramatic increase in Germany's international cricket standing, which is currently, er, not particularly impressive.
Now, being the Gloomy Gus that I am about these matters, I have to spoil the batsmen's delight with a few nagging questions. First of all, which war was it that Pakistanis and Indians were fleeing, again? Why are people from these stable, peaceful countries still in Germany?
Also, there's are a few things nagging me about this cunning plan to improve Germany's standing in the world of cricket. First, do Germans give a flying fuck about Germany's standing in the world of cricket? Second, if they do, wouldn't the best approach be to import really good cricket players, rather than anyone who happened to make it across the border?
This is like choosing astronauts by running an ad saying: "Astronaut signup day! First ten thousand get in!" Then you randomly select groups of 50 from the 10,000. After forcing them to take off their Chewbacca and Star Trek costumes, you shoot them into space, and see how many survive. After a few decades, billions of euros, and a mere 3,562 dead or disabled, you finally have your crack squad of astronauts!
A briefing room somewhere in the federal ministry for immigration, 2021: "Well, sir, the downside is we let in 40,000 young males from India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Only 20% have learned proficient German. Oh, and it turns out 85% of them have no grounds for asylum, they were just economic migrants. 70% are still unemployed and living on government welfare benefits, so the total cost for their maintenance and support has been € 3 billion over the past four years. But the upside is that Germany has moved from #178 to #42 in the international cricket standings!"
A Reinhold-Priebus Controls America
The head of the American Republican Party has one of the strangest names you will ever encounter: Reince Priebus. The Onion mocked it with the headline: "Reince Priebus Forced Back Into Ancient Puzzle Box After Being Tricked Into Saying Name Backwards":
Startled sources at a GOP fundraiser confirmed Thursday that after being duped into saying his own name backwards, ancient elfin mischief-maker and Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus was cast back into the gilded puzzle box that has confined him for millennia.
Priebus, a wily, mystical creature who has reportedly carried out right-wing political trickery at numerous points throughout recorded history, was said to be delivering a speech on traditional family values when he unthinkingly read the words "Subeirp Ecnier" aloud off the teleprompter, immediately causing the lights in the Omni Hotel to flicker and sending a powerful, chilling wind through the convention hall.
This weirdness, like so much other weirdness, came from the Fatherland, according to a recent New York Times profile:
"Priebus" is a German name, pronounced like the Toyota Prius with a "b" stuck in the middle. Reince (short for Reinhold, rhymes with "pints") is 44 but has an older-man's vibe.
Reinhold! Now that's old school, for an American of German ancestry. Clearly the Priebus family is proud of its German roots. Two things struck me as a bit odd. First, I've never encountered the name Priebus or anything like it here in Germany — although it's a big country. Second, no German in their right mind would abbreviate Reinhold as Reince, right? I'm thinking Reini.
Insights, anyone?
Anglosplaining and the Amusingness Gap
The Economist looks at why the most high-middlebrow shows and books about Germany are written by Brits:
This popularity of Anglo-Saxon storytellers "really is astonishing", says Hermann Parzinger. He is a German archaeologist (best known for his work on the Scythians) and president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which owns museums, libraries and archives in Berlin. He is working with MacGregor in dreaming up how to curate the Humboldt Forum's exhibits.
German academics, Parzinger says, write books to impress the five most important experts in their field. Popularity is suspect in German academia. The German word unseriös, etymologically the same as "unserious", in fact means "lacking credibility". But Anglo-Saxons, Parzinger thinks, "have it in their blood to make these things suspenseful and interesting even for lay people". In particular, they know how to integrate into their storytelling "both the high and the low, without anything being banal". Thus MacGregor effortlessly mixes Luther and Goethe with sausages and garden gnomes into one analysis that makes Germans feel they've understood something about themselves.
The Anglos also come across as likeable rather than belehrend, says Parzinger. That German word means "lecturing", and is often used by Germans of Germans. The greatest fear of intellectuals in Germany and other continental countries is to appear shallow. The greatest fear of Britons is to seem pompous, says MacGregor. So they enliven their knowledge with good delivery and showmanship….
But even among outsiders the Anglos have the edge in Germany over, say, French, Polish, Dutch or Danish intellectuals. These neighbours were often part of German history – as enemies, victims or collaborators. German audiences expect them to reflect that perspective. A French historian talking about the 1940s, say, should probably also expound on Vichy and French collaboration.
The Brits, however, were always "geographically more outside", says Parzinger, which makes them appear credible. Since the 1960s, for example, it has been all but taboo for German writers to argue anything other than that Germany bears sole responsibility for starting the first world war. Clark gleefully ignored that taboo in "The Sleepwalkers" – and outsold all the Germans, even in Germany. Clark can say the question of guilt is complicated, says Parzinger, but hearing it "from a German would have been more difficult".
This goes back to a fundamental cultural difference which virtually every Anglo-Saxon picks up on quickly in Germany: Most Germans just aren't funny in ways Anglo-Saxons recognize, and a substantial minority aren't funny at all. Free-floating, value-neutral absurdity; obscene wordplay; sarcasm and irony; casual teasing insults among friends — these styles of communication are much rarer in Germany than in the Anglo-Saxon world. Unless you know someone fairly well, the safest mode of communication is straightforward communication about mundane details of everyday life or anodyne remarks about current affairs which do not reveal a controversial personal opinion.
This is not to say there ain't no funny Germans, etc. etc. As with everything in life, this is a matter of probability distributions and bell curves, not of absolutes. Behold this scientific-looking graph:
The more to the left you are on this graph, the more sincere and loyal. You become more entertaining as you move to the right. Germany is the bell curve with the peak of 52. England with the peak of 76. The separation is too wide, but it still makes the point. There's plenty of overlap (i.e. decent and funny people) in both directions, but the average Brit you meet is likely to be more entertaining than the average German.
The canon of values the average German has been raised with tend toward sincerity, honesty, credibility, punctuality, and loyalty. You can be a worthy, admirable person on this scale while being crushingly boring. In fact, being crushingly boring can actually be a helpful strategy, since humor, used inappropriately or at the wrong time, can undermine your reputation. Leave humor to the professionals. Or if you are called upon to be funny yourself, have a few memorized jokes or sayings on tap, just in case. Even if they're crushingly unfunny, people will laugh. Out of politeness.
Maybe I can't make you laugh, says the German, but I will take time out of my busy schedule to visit you in the hospital, and bring a thoughtful gift. Which is more important?
Growing up in the Anglo-Saxon world, there's a premium on being entertaining. Your cultural heroes are likely to be comedians rather than violinists or human-rights activists. You're likely to spend hours each day consuming humor. Dull people are ostracized. Unlike in Germany, where you might bring them along even though you know they'll just sit there silently, in England and the USA you will simply avoid them and mock them.
In this atmosphere, even renowned historians often learn to be decent storytellers and amusing chaps, because everyone is expected to be a decent storyteller and an amusing chap. In Germany, you can live a life that you and others would consider rich and full without ever (1) intentionally provoking (2) sincere laughter in another human being.
"The Younger of Your Two Sons Has Urinated on our Luggage"
The most useful phrase a world traveler can know is, of course, "My hovercraft is full of eels." Here is a website with the phrase translated into dozens of languages, including — importantly — Sardinian.
For all other needs, Spy Magazine has you covered:
Patriarchy, Social Trust, and Smiling
The Atlantic summarizes a recent study:
Why do some societies not encourage casual smiling? I got my answer, or at least part of one, when I stumbled across a new paper by Kuba Krys [Kuba Krys? Didn't he lay down a smokin' freestyle on that Kendrick Lamar album? – ed.], a psychologist at the Polish Academy of Sciences [Oh, that Kuba Krys – ed.]. In some countries, smiling might not be a sign of warmth or even respect. It's evidence that you're a fool—a tricky fool.
Krys focused on a cultural phenomenon called "uncertainty avoidance." Cultures that are low on this scale tend to have social systems—courts, health-care systems, safety nets, and so forth—that are unstable. Therefore, people there view the future as unpredictable and uncontrollable.
Smiling is a sign of certainty and confidence, so when people in those countries smile, they might seem odd. Why would you smile when fate is an invisible wolf waiting to shred you? You might, in those "low-UA" countries, even be considered stupid for smiling.
Krys also hypothesized that smiling in corrupt countries would be, um, frowned upon. When everyone's trying to pull one over on each other, you don't know if someone's smiling with good intentions, or because they're trying to trick you….
He found that in countries like Germany, Switzerland, China, and Malaysia, smiling faces were rated as significantly more intelligent than non-smiling people. But in Japan, India, Iran, South Korea, and—you guessed it—Russia, the smiling faces were considered significantly less intelligent. Even after controlling for other factors, like the economy, there was a strong correlation between how unpredictable a society was and the likelihood they would consider smiling unintelligent.
In countries such as India, Argentina, and the Maldives, meanwhile, smiling was associated with dishonesty—something Krys found to be correlated to their corruption rankings.
I've lived here in Tschermany long enough to witness a change or two. One is the increase in smiles on websites. Just anecdotally, I think the percentage of people smiling in websites about firms and universities has risen steadily. At one point, smiling too much in German would get you the reputation of being 'unseriös', but that seems to be fading these days. Also, cosmetic dentistry is becoming mainstream and affordable here. With the standard delay — about 20 years after this happened in the USA.
'A Pretty Girl For Pleasure At a Place Convenient For You'
Doing a bit of tidying-up recently, I found a business card I got during a recent trip to Sofia, Bulgaria. I was minding my own business, waiting by the side of the street to be picked up by friends, when I watched a nice, but unspectacular late-model sedan park in a nearby parking lot. A guy dressed in a nice but unspectacular suit, perhaps mid-30s, well-groomed, emerged from the car carrying a briefcase. He spotted me and walked directly over.
He said, "Can I help you?" "No, I'm just waiting for a friend," I replied. Then he said "Well, in case you would like some company," and gave me a business card. I assumed it was his business card, and that he either wanted to buy me a drink to practice his English, or to do something more, er, Greek. Then he walked away. This was the card:
Well, that was unexpected. At least my heterosexuality is confirmed, I thought. Not that I needed any confirmation, mind you. Just reassuring.
I noticed that there's only one phone number, but the rates on the front and back of the card are different. This hardly speaks for the conscientiousness of Bulgarian pimps. Unless there's actually a difference between 'top models' and 'pretty girls for pleasure'.
The more I thought about it, the more questions I had. The guy who gave me the card looked like a mild-mannered accountant. I was waiting right in the middle of Sofia, not in some park where odd grunting sounds come from the bushes. Do Bulgarian pimps just hand out cards to ordinary Bulgarian men and tell them to give the cards to anyone who looks like a horny tourist? Or is this mere hospitality, like a tribal chieftain offering his wife to a traveler?
In any case, since I was staying with friends, I didn't enjoy the company of any pretty girls for pleasure. But t then again, the minute you exit a German train station, you see that you don't have to leave Germany to enjoy the company of Bulgarian prostitutes (g).
The Man with 7 F's
….no longer:
Nabiel Peter Bogendorff von Wolffersdorff, born Nabiel Bagadi, and known in the U.K as Peter Mark Emanuel Graf von Wolffersdorff Freiherr von Bogendorff, may have to remain a man of two identities and many more names following a ruling by Europe's top court on Thursday.
Bringing a years-long legal battle to an end, the European Court of Justice decided that Germany can refuse to recognize the new names of citizens when their new monikers contain outlawed titles of nobility. The ruling may ease fears of so-called name tourism, where EU citizens take advantage of laxer laws on name changes in another member state.
Mr. Bogendorff von Wolffersdorff, a German national, acquired British nationality while living in the U.K. and had his names changed to Peter Mark Emanuel Graf von Wolffersdorff Freiherr von Bogerndorff. In German "Graf" and "Freiherr" mean "Count" and "Baron" respectively.
On his return to Germany, Mr. Bogendorff von Wolffersdorff requested the registry office of the city of Karlsruhe to register his new name, which would allow him to update his German identity papers. The Karlsruhe registry refused. The 1919 Weimar constitution abolished noble privileges and titles and prohibited the creation of titles giving the appearance of noble origins, in order to ensure the equality before the law of all German citizens.
The first version of this article was a bit different: "Nabiel Peter Bogendorff von Wolffersdorff, born Nabiel Bagadi, is an evidently insane man known in the U.K as …".

The weather is getting warmer, the sun is setting later, and the party season is upon us. Not only is it the time of year for Christmas Parties, but New Year's Eve is coming up, as well as Spring Racing, and is it just me, or are there a lot of birthdays cropping up at the moment as well? Yep, they don't call this the silly season for nothing!
I'm sure that all of you Urban Listers will be receiving your fair share of party invites soon, but what about those among us who need to host a party at this time of year? Maybe it's your birthday, or you're throwing one for a friend or loved one? Maybe you've been tasked with the onerous fabulous duty of planning the office end-of-year shindig?
Fear not, loyal readers, I've done my research and am here to provide my recommendations for some of the hottest party spots of the season, guaranteed to have your guests patting you on the back 'till New Years.
For a sophisticated soiree, why not look into a private room at Public? They offer two choices, the Dining Room or the Drawing Room, and offer a specific Banquet menu for Functions. Tres chic, indeed.
Stokehouse offer packages for groups of all sizes, with several packages designed specifically for large parties. With their sweeping views out across the River, as well as the stylish surrounds and impeccable service, this would make for a memorable Christmas party, indeed.
What an experience it would be to book out the entire Moda venue and throw a full three-course menu for up to 70 friends, family members, or colleagues. The venue at Moda is a perfect choice for those who work in the CBD.
Stockholm Syndrome is a wonderful niche venue for those looking for spots outside the City. They specialise in themed events, so, with Halloween coming up, this could be a really interesting choice. Otherwise, I've heard the Swedes really know how to do Christmas right.
So here's the choice: do you care for shared Vietnamese-fusion dining in the opulent interior at Libertine, or would you prefer canapés under the stars amidst the twinkling fairy lights of the courtyard? Hmmm… I feel like it's win win.
Uptown at Crosstown Eating House
Upstairs at the Crosstown, hides the Uptown - a beautifully-decorated, low-key space for groups up to 55. Typically-delicious Crosswtown canapés are on offer, featuring the signature Crosstown twist. No venue remorse here.
Question: what's the one thing you miss most at large scale functions? Answer: cocktails. Canvas are here to bridge the gap between a standard wine and beer function and their world-class cocktail offerings. Don't mind if I do!
A truly spectacular location for any event, the team at Mr & Mrs G will work with you to create the ultimate setting for your evening. The views are enough to sweep anyone off their feet, and the drinks menu is enough to provoke serious consideration.
Offering a cocktail event in the bar, in the restaurant, or a full sit-down dinner, this venue offers precisely the mix of excellent food, truly attentive service, and an interesting drinks menu that really makes a party a success.
What could be nicer, or more traditionally-Queensland, than relaxing on a deck while the sun sets, with a drink in hand? Lady Lamington brings the perfect relaxed, yet sophisticated, venue for any event.
Let's partay.

This is how we remember you and the style of football you like your teams to play. Fast, incisive counter-attack football with technical wizardry. We had it, then lost it for a few years, now, joy of joys we've found it again and we're flying!
Leicester (a), Manchester Utd (h), Watford (a), our last three PL fixtures. On paper, all tricky fixtures, and yet Arsenal smashed them all by a three-goal margin.
Watford have been awkward customers in years gone by, and have been known to cause the odd upset, I'm sure many of us remember the scourge of Mo Johnston.
They've started their latest journey into the shark-infested waters of the PL steadily without looking spectacular, but have been defensively very solid, conceding the same amount as Arsenal, before kick-off. They certainly look to have enough about them to avoid relegation.
The first half was quite nervy, Watford showed no intimidation and took the game to Arsenal. Indeed Ighalo could and probably should have scored with the home side's best chance of the game, but once the early storm had been blown out, by the end of the first half, Arsenal were looking far more settled.
Arsenal stepped up a gear about 15 minutes into the second half with the first goal coming just after the hour, another exquisite effort from our very own red-hot Chile, Alexis Sanchez. Just six minutes later, Olivier Giroud, fresh from replacing Theo, added a second, which was nice after all his recent woes. A comprehensive win was rounded off by the hard-working Aaron Ramsey, one of our unsung heroes.
There's definitely something about Arsène and Arsenal this year. A quiet momentum is growing. Okay, it was only newly-promoted Watford, but they've been a bogey side for Arsenal, and the way they dispatched them was professional and ruthless.
There is a buzz of excitement around the club again, almost like Arsène was transported back in time to reclaim something he'd forgotten to bring with him. And now he's found it again he's reminding all his doubters, the whole football world, and those loyal fans who never lost faith, exactly what he's capable of when he has the right ingredients. It feels wonderful to be an Arsenal fan right now, then fires have been stoked again. But is still very much OGAAT – excluding CL, naturally.
What would make a PL title even sweeter is (if he's still around), it will finally silence the despicable egotistical Mourinho and leave him nowhere to run. For all Arsène's flaws, I'd pick him over Mourinho every time. No-one deserves a PL title more than Arsene, his has been the longest often darkest journey, for which he has shown remarkable fortitude.
At this moment in time, I believe.
Here are my player ratings: –
Petr Cech is the consummate professional, and is as influential to Arsenal as Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar were for Utd. The importance of his signing cannot be under-stated, he is a level up from both David Seaman and Jens Lehmann, and it surely is no coincidence that since his arrival, the whole Arsenal collective have upped their game. He exudes calm and class and might not wear the captain's armband on the field, but what he has achieved in the game, his desire to repeat that success and the fact that he wanted to come to Arsenal has resonated round the club like a virtual clarion call. 9
Hector Bellerin is immense. Already faster than Theo, he terrorises opposition defenders, and defensively he's improving all the time. Clearly a boy with the football world at his feet, but better yet, he is loving being at Arsenal. 7
Nacho Monreal just gets it done. No fuss or nonsense, he has nailed down the left back spot and puts in a consistent quality performance most weeks. 8
Per Mertesacker is one who has benefited from Cech's arrival and knows he has competition for his place from the impressive Gabriel. 7
Laurent Koscielny has had and will have better games, but he helped keep a clean sheet and is coming back from injury so can be forgiven for being a little off pace. 7
Francis Coquelin must be one of the best discoveries of the last five years. Has confidently stepped in to make him undroppable. Doing a fantastic job. 8
Santi Cazorla is loving his deeper role and relishing the added responsibility playing alongside Coquelin. 8
Aaron Ramsey is tireless, has a terrific appetite and work ethic. Finally got rewarded for his industry yesterday with his goal. 8
Mesut Ozil is like a new signing! Having been originally thrown in to the PL at the deep end from the relatively sunny and comfortable La Liga, he struggled with the work-load. The introduction of Sanchez and dropping Cazorla deeper has allowed Ozil to flourish, and he's enjoying his best spell since signing. 8
Alexis Sanchez is incredible. He only arrived back from International duty on Friday, twenty four hours later he's leading the charge against Watford! He inspires everyone around him to be better, he has quality in abundance. 9
Theo Walcott was left a bit frustrated largely because of some resolute defending and the Goalkeeper Gomes. But he still made a contribution and his season won't be defined by games like this. 7

Work Injuries
A work injury in California may entitle the injured laborer to various types of remedies. California work injury attorney Steve Sweat addresses some of the more common questions related to work injuries in Los Angeles and the state of California.
Because so many accidents and injuries occur at the workplace or while a person is acting on behalf of their employer, the question often arises as to the difference between a workers compensation and a personal injury claim under California law. These are two distinct types of legal claims and sometimes there is overlap.What is a California Workers Compensation Claim and to What is the Injured Worker Entitled?
If a worker sustains an "industrial injury", he or she may be entitled to receive benefits for that injury or injuries through the California workers compensation system. An "industrial injury" is an injury sustained during the course and scope of their employment (i.e. while doing a task for their employer or at their employer's direction). This usually entitles the person to some basic benefits as follows: (1) Temporary Disability payments (under California Labor Code section 4653) for lost income while the injured laborer is out of work; (2) Payment of all medical bills; (3) a permanent disability award at the end of the case based upon a calculation of residual injury associated with each affected body part adjusted by the worker's future earning capacity; and (4) Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit if worker cannot continue to perform his or her prior job function. If the industrial accident causes the worker's death, his or her immediate family may also be entitled to death benefits under the law.What is the Process for Making a Workers Compensation Claim in California?
Under California law, the employer is required to provide any employee injured on the job with a workers compensation claim form within one working day after the claim has been reported. The employee is required to complete the "employee" portion of the form and should fully and completely describe each and every body part that was injured. Sometimes the employer fails to provide this form or information about filing a claim, in which case the worker can either obtain a form from Information and Assistance Officer or retain an attorney to file the appropriate claims paperwork on their behalf.Benefits of Hiring a California Workers Compensation Applicant's Attorney to Assist With the Claim:
While many employers in the Golden State want to do right by their employees when they get hurt, many more want to simply try to save money by either not filing a proper claim and just trying to have the worker treated outside the system or by simply misleading or mistreating the worker. Being fired for getting hurt at work is illegal in California (NOTE: This is a violation of California Labor Code 132a and also may provide the worker with various causes of action for wrongful discharge of employment related to disability discrimination and/or medical leave ). Furthermore, as discussed above, it is unlawful for employers to not provide a claim form and advise employees of their right to seek compensation. Getting an attorney involved can accomplish the following:
- Protect your legal rights to medical care and benefits
- Be provided with good sound advice on how to maximize your work comp benefits
- Better obtain the evidence needed including medical reports and opinions that will fully support the claim
- Keep track of and comply with legal deadlines
- Have an advocate and a representative with the employer, their insurance carrier and in front of the judge at any Workers Compensation Appeals Board hearings
If the injured employee feels like the employer is withholding benefits or otherwise treating them unfairly, it is always best to at least consult with a lawyer for an initial free consultation. In addition, if a work injury causes some type of permanent disability, it is always advisable to get the opinion of an attorney prior to signing off on any settlement agreement that is permanent and legally binding.
Payment of Attorney's Fees in CA work comp cases: Workers compensation attorneys work on a "contingency fee", which means that they do not need to be paid up front. They will provide their services in exchange for a fee based upon the final disability award. The percentage varies but, is set usually at a maximum of 15 percent of the amount awarded.What is a California Personal Injury Claim and how is This Different From Workers Comp?
A personal injury claim is a claim for injuries sustained due to the negligence of another person or entity. This entitles a person to recover money for medical bills (present and future), lost income, loss of future earning capacity, property damage costs for either repairing or replacing any damaged property such as vehicles, and additional compensation for pain and suffering, the loss of enjoyment of life. (For a full explanation as to all damages recoverable in a personal injury claim in California click here).
The major difference between a work comp claim and a personal injury claim is the ability to obtain what are known as "general damages" in a personal injury claim. General damages are not awardable in a workers compensation claim. These "general damages" include the economic value associated with pain, discomfort, mental and emotional distress, inconvenience, grief, anxiety and related injury. Oftentimes, this is the most valuable portion of a personal injury claim simply because of the costs of medical treatment and lost income often pale in comparison to the emotional toll that a significant bodily injury can have on a person's life including their work life, home life, and their personal relationships.Is it Possible for a Person to Have Both a Work Comp Claim and a Personal Injury Claim at the Same Time?
In a word, yes. It is not only possible but, happens more frequently than one might think. There are many common scenarios where a person may be injured on the job but, the injury may be caused by the negligence of a person or entity not directly associated with their employer. These situations include the following:
- Defective products including industrial machinery not manufactured by the employer.
- Car accidents or truck accidents or heavy equipment mishaps with forklifts or similar vehicles, when caused by a person not associated with the employer even if it happens while the employee is working, entitles the injured person to both workers compensation benefits from their employer and a full personal injury claim against the at-fault driver or their employer.
- Employment claims for sexual harassment, wrongful termination and other intentional conduct by the employer.
- Where the employer does not have workers compensation insurance as required by law, a personal injury claim may be filed against the employer for any on the job injury and negligence is presumed under California Labor Code section 3706.
Because it is possible to maintain both types of claims and pursuing a personal injury action may entitle the injured party to much more compensation for pain and suffering damages, it is crucial to consult a personal injury attorney. Many if not most workers compensation lawyers only practice in that sub-specialty as work comp involves practice before an administrative body (rather than the state or federal court system) and is very specialized. If both a work comp claim and a personal injury claim are filed, there are complicated issues regarding liens and reimbursement rights and other complex legal issues that absolutely require competent legal counsel. Therefore, it is important to retain a quality personal injury lawyer who is familiar with the interplay between the two claims and can maximize the amount paid to the injured person.

Aldi to preserve 'significant price advantage' amid record sales of £7.7bn
The British arm of Aldi has said it will invest £300 million in store revamps after posting another year of record sales, although profits were again hit by the supermarket price war.
The cash will be used to spruce up its fixtures for beers, wines and spirits and fresh produce, as well as a new "food to go" feature, with more than 100 stores to be refurbished in 2017.
Chief executive Matthew Barnes said the move was the result of a "listening exercise" involving more than 50,000 shoppers, adding that the firm's investment plans have been "unaffected" by the UK's decision to quit the European Union.
Aldi is to refurbish more than 100 stores in 2017
The German-owned firm added that it will open 70 new stores in the UK next year as part of plans to increase supermarket numbers from 659 to 1,000 by 2022.
Sales grew by 12% to £7.7 billion in 2015, with Aldi doubling its turnover in just three years. The company confirmed like-for-like sales were in positive territory, although Mr Barnes admitted they had slowed.
Operating profits dipped 1.8% to £255.6 million, which the firm put down to its "continued investment in prices".
Mr Barnes said the firm would continue to invest in prices in order to maintain a "significant price advantage" over rivals, flagging that Aldi has cut prices on 30% of its products this year.
"Regardless of what competitors may say or do, our price advantage will be maintained and our customers will always pay the lowest grocery prices in the UK," he said.
He vowed to "ride the storm" created by the supermarket price war, triggered by Aldi and fellow German supermarket Lidl, which has embroiled the sector, hitting margins at all of the so called "Big Four" players - Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.
Aldi said 761,000 new customers walked through its doors last year, helping its market share grow to a record high of 6.2%.
Mr Barnes said that Aldi's online operation, which was launched in January, is seeing 11,000 orders per week, ahead of expectations. The chief executive said that online has proved particularly popular in London and the South East, which accounted for a quarter of all orders.
Aldi also pledged to make "substantial investments" in enlarging two existing distribution sites, redeveloping its UK head office in Atherstone, Warwickshire, and opening a new distribution centre in Cardiff next year.
Mr Barnes said: "During the past five years we have invested close to £1.7 billion in the UK by opening more stores than any other supermarket and enhancing our distribution capabilities.
"Our future capital expenditure plans are unchanged - we will continue to make significant investments in our business, paying our employees more than any other supermarket."
Aldi said its strongest-performing categories last year included fresh meat and fish and its Exquisite wine range, while sales of its Mamia nappies grew by 29%, making it the UK's second biggest-selling brand.

LS - for insertion into the appropriate digital orifices, Tonto
Aberdeen Hash House Harriers
Run No 1792 - Dunecht Estate
31st October 2016
Hare: Twizzle
Well, a fine and sunny day by the side of Aberdeenshire's most lovely loch IMHO. It's not always been easy to get access to Dunecht Estate. Well done Hare. Twizzle has negotiated mountains of paperwork which he took some 52.5 minutes to explain to the circle. It seems our biggest risk was of
drowning as there was Deepwater on the Horizon (have you seen the movie yet? Not for those still going offshore!) However it seems not all residents are
supporters of our noisy Sunday rabble - reports of flour dots erased reached my ears. I didn't see them, they weren't there, and nor was I…..more of
this later.
So ON ON round the pond, wisely we stayed off trail as it turned out to be a leech and tick infested swamp parallel to the path. One check in we continued
straight ahead. From here FRB's sensibly began to look closely at side paths - must be a back check soon, and a deviation into the woods. Yes here it
is…..JC blows his horn, on left, lots of flour. FRB's follow at pace, your scribe accompanying to report on their adventures.
Here was the two plank bridge. Very slippery character, but negotiated bravely by JC, Tonto, Emma (still no name?) and then Golden Shower. Ooooops, On In, GS slips on one board, narrowly avoids a ball crushing straddle, and then snaps one plank
in two before entering the water to waist depth.
On On into the woods and back towards the Loch. Curious how the flour dots are all on the wrong side of the trees, making it very slow, a useful but long
defunct tactic to slow the FRB's. Some speculation that Twizzle might be left handed as the dots are on the wrong side of the trail too.
Could we be heading for a NO NO. no no, not at all, we would have found the beer by now. Keep hashing and carry on.
Now here is an arrow, that's better, except it is going the wrong way! Where form here, well there is flour to the right on trees, and across the ditch
also to the right, and across the ditch straight on. What the F***? How many times did the hare lay this? So we split, must be a check marked by an arrow
instead of a circle…..that'll be it.
The straight ahead pack soon found the trail going right too. The right hand trail came to a very curious set of hieroglyphics: O IN à T From here we could go straight - into a back check; or back on the opposite side of the burn - back to where we had just come
form; or left through a double arrow to a check with an arrow to the left. So lets try that, aha, flour, back to the previous arrow check. We are doomed,
no beer, no sense to the trail.
At this point your humble scribe had to cease reporting and take on his true vocation as fearless leader. Tonto needed to live up to his
handle and sniff out the trail. What if we are on a NO NO? well we must come into this check from somewhere, so let's check out the trails with no flour
'cos what we know is that where the trail is there has been little or no flour, and where the trail isn't there has been abundant flour - how the mind of a
genihash works!
Then New runner Olly chimed in that he had met the hare over there…..ON ON. The FRB's (or are they BRF's - backward running
forwards) fell back into good spirts and determined to hash the NO NO until they met the pack on the ON ON, at which most became ON ON though some devout
BRF's continued NO NO NO to prove a point.
Anyway, to the beer, at the folly on the loch. Great view to the cars, but rather a long way…T Rex pondered if we could Ride a White Swan home. And
then ON IN, easy. Except we now had to re-cross the bridge of two planks that is one. Golden Shower redeemed himself and built a new one plank with
handrail bridge, which enable a safe crossing for most. Not for some who doubted such gallantry could exist - Olymprick deviated further to cross the ditch
and wandered into the circle belatedly.
The circle ensued, and Down Downs flowed in the ever smaller goblets - is it concern for our health, our licenses, or hash funds that is leading to such
miniatures? And how do you get the beer chest unlocked once the circle has started?
Sir Deadmund
and Barbarella won the costume prize
and fellow Piss Artists for a Piss Poor Performance
, Big Al (welcome back), and Bruce Almighty were lost on trail
The Duchess
was well ahead with the clock changing, must be living with Nummers.
Muffy the Costume Flayer for disrespect to Hash garb
for best costume….again
The Hare who apparently laid a fine trail …shame the FRB's missed it.

I've been wanting to find a good book.
This is definitely my kind of read.
I have to write down the title, so I won't forget it. There is no book store anywhere near where I live. So I have to travel far for a book.
I love suspense novels.
- Id it is said...
It's a read you'll enjoy!
Why not order it on Amazon; it works out a lot cheaper that way especially if you don't mind a used copy. I have a link to Amazon on the post...
- Mariana Soffer said...
-why don't you tell us what did she say, and what you think about it.
- Id it is said...
Here is the exchange I had with Ms. Pfeffer:

What a page turner this proved to be!!
I would recommend this to any school district with poor reading scores. Here is a novel that will have students glued to it. As an educator who has seen both the reading and therefore also the writing skills deteriorate progressively across the US for the last so many years, I was excited to come across a piece of fiction that would make the most unlikely reader want to read this novel.
Congratulation to Ms Pfeffer.
Just an observation... the government intervention in the novel seems to be almost non existent and that was one part of the novel which seemed implausible escpecially in the context of this country; the most endowed in terms of its resources and its ability to wield power across public, scientific, political, and military domains. Had the setting been a country known to be wanting in its socio economic stability it would have lent more credibility to the story.

Happy July to Id it is-
One of my favorite things to hear is that reluctant readers enjoy my books, so I thoroughly approve of the idea that schools with low reading levels try LAWKI. My vocabulary level died at an embarassingly low age, which makes my books more accessible.
As far as government intervention goes, there's considerably more of it in the companion novel, the dead and the gone. That's set in New York City, and government intervention, as well as the strength of organized religion, is a big part of the story.
LAWKI is about isolation. The family there simply doesn't know what the government is doing, and frankly I doubt even the biggest most organized government in the world would expend much of its resources on a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania.
To a limited extent, what the government can and cannot do is part of This World We Live In as well.
Different books, different takes on the same situation!
July 1, 2009 10:10 AM
Id it is said...
Happy July to you too Susan! Thanks for that prompt reply and I look forward to reading "The World we Live in."
I just posted on LAWKI on my blog, I'd be delighted to have you visit.
July 1, 2009 12:28 PM
Susan Beth Pfeffer said...
Thank you kindly Id it is-
Google, which keeps no secrets from me, told me about your blog at the same time it told me about this comment. I appreciate your review, even though there was one word I didn't know the meaning of (I told you my vocabulary level had died young).
One of the things I find most interesting about LAWKI is how seriously people take it. I wrote it for fun, and never worried that readers would outthink me. But just the other day, a cousin of mine mentioned reading it, and he thought there should have been guns in LAWKI. I told him there were guns in d&g, so he should read that one also.
It's wonderful to have written books people care about, but it's also a little disconcerting!

- Mariana Soffer said...
Thanks a lot for telling me all that happen with it, it is pretty intresting indeed, alghouth somethings are the ones that always happen, and don-t seem to stop to occur.
It is a little insonsistent, or I do not know how to say it, it is not fully an integral pose, maybe is because I am still missing to much of the things and thoughts that happen before.
:) I had just finished on Camus' Exile and the Kingdom and was looking to read something very light. This could be it. Thanks Id.

New Second Life Moon Simulation to Be Featured in Paper
Mon Jan 26 2009
Three members of the Center for Educational Technologies® have submitted a paper to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference detailing a simulation they are developing for NASA in the Second Life virtual world.
"MoonWorld: A Virtual Fieldwork in Second Life" discusses the approach the Classroom of the Future™ team is taking in designing the MoonWorld simulation, which will model the surface of the Moon in Second Life. MoonWorld will be a tool for learning lunar science through virtual fieldwork. The MoonWorld island—actually in the Second Life sky, like a real moon—will depict lunar impact craters and volcanic features with geologic characteristics and interrelations that can be discerned through careful observation and measurement. MoonWorld will engage avatars in authentic scientific inquiry as they seek solutions to lunar science challenges.
Authors of the paper are Laurie Ruberg, associate director; Chuck Wood, director; Debbie Denise Reese, senior educational researcher; Cassie Lightfritz, graphic designer; and Andrew Harrison, computer programmer. The conference will take place March 23-27 at The Woodlands, TX.

Here is a confirmation of a bundle from a SCE representative to a French retailer, showing a new bundle for the Playstation 3. With the console you will get 2 more Sixaxis controllers, plus the games Motorstorm and Resistance: Fall of Man, for 599 Euros.
Still pretty expensive compared to the US.
But what the hell you guys gotta save money up for your hospital bills ;)
The one game they absolutely must make a bundle with is GTA4.
That single bundle could make millions of PS2 owners take out loans to visit Liberty City.
This is a nice bundle. Get two great games then another controller. This way you do not have to go out and buy another one. So this way you and a friend can play right away.
So now the Pal regions will have their ps3 for $686 US. The price stays the same, but they have added 2 games and a controller. Good for the eurogamers.
wow for $800 we get two games and an extra controller
Cut the crap reduce the price people will buy games anyway once they have one its the upfront price thats the issue

From our modest origins, with a tiny staff and punch-card data processing in 1978, we've become an influential player in worldwide contemporary pharmacovigilance.
Our team now consists of over a hundred people: pharmacists, doctors, researchers, system developers, sales and marketing staff, coding specialists, communications and product specialists, support staff, all in expert teams: global pharmacovigilance, research, information technology, communications, sales and marketing, finance and administration.
Their professional aim in life is to support member countries of the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring and to develop pharmacovigilance as an ever-improving instrument for the protection of patients. Please find the staff list here.
The important worldwide work of supporting the WHO Programme is financed solely by the selling of products related to global pharmacovigilance to external bodies and through some service fees. These sources of income ensure our intellectual and scientific independence, sustainability and freedom to pursue our vision. We receive no other funding from any external source - WHO, the Swedish Government, commercial interests or member countries of the WHO Programme - except for specific project grants.
Our talented research team, who have won international recognition, have extended the boundaries of knowledge in several fields, most notably in disproportionality analysis, scanning and analysis of large databases, and identifying risks in the search for signals of potential harm from medicines. The team carries out research in all areas of UMC's activity, such as safety signal detection, data management, information technology, and pharmaceutical informatics including the dictionaries of WHODrug. There's a full account of their work here.
Staff are constantly out and about, in the far corners of the world, talking, teaching and finding out what member countries want in the way of support and resources. They're at conferences and meetings, presenting UMC's work, listening and learning about what is going on around the world. They are involved in the development of worldwide policy and practice in groups such as CIOMS, ICH, ISoP and the Erice communications process.
We provide data, reference, consultative and training resources to medicines agencies, health professionals, researchers and to the pharmaceutical industry all over the world.

SYNTHEON Inc and Quandel Construction Group, Inc raise the bar at Southern State Community College in Mount Orab, Ohio.
From Nov/Dec 2014 issue of Design Cost Data magazine
When ground was broken for Southern State Community College's new campus in Brown County, Ohio it seemed unlikely that the facility would be completed in less than one year and ready to welcome its fall semester of students. Originally, A traditional stud framing system was chosen for the project, however Quandel Construction Group had become familiar with a better wall system that would meet the aggressive schedule perfectly. "We attended a Lunch and Learn session by SYNTHEON on the ACCEL-E Wall System and knew this would be a perfect fit for this project," said Kevin Apling, Vice President of Quandel. "We talked with the owner and the architect, and suggested specifying the system for its weather tightness, exceptional thermal performance and it being an all-inclusive product that was easy and fast to install."

AFN National Chief Bellegarde Says New Approach for Rights Implementation Essential, First Nations Engagement Crucial
AFN National Chief Bellegarde Says New Approach for Rights Implementation Essential, First Nations Engagement Crucial
(Ottawa, ON) – Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Perry Bellegarde today welcomed the announcement by Prime Minister Trudeau of a new approach to rights recognition and implementation to be developed "in full partnership" with First Nations, including new mechanisms to recognize First Nations systems of governance and ensure consistent, meaningful implementation of Treaties and other agreements.
"Today the Prime Minister of Canada signaled a government-wide shift and a new approach to the recognition and full implementation of First Nations rights that will be developed in full partnership with First Nations before the next election," said AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde. "Our rights are a reality that has been denied for too long, resulting in conflict and court battles for enforcement of our inherent rights, Treaty rights, title and jurisdiction. This is an opportunity to move into a new era of recognition, with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as our framework for reconciliation. Recognizing and implementing our rights is directly connected to closing the gap for our peoples. The key will be walking this road together."
Prime Minister Trudeau announced today Canada will develop a new approach towards the full recognition and implementation of Indigenous rights. The Prime Minister noted new legislation and policy would make the recognition and implementation of rights the basis for all relations between First Nations and the federal government. He laid out a timeline beginning with engagement that will continue throughout the spring, introduction of the framework for rights recognition this year, and implementation to take place before the next election.
National Chief Bellegarde added: "It was important to hear the Prime Minister repeat his government's support for Bill C-262. That legislation is supported by First Nations, human rights advocates and many organizations that have fought for decades to see Indigenous rights realized and we are looking forward to seeing it completed.
The National Chief also noted the Prime Minister's commitment, in the wake of the Colten Boushie trial to reforms to the justice system, including how juries are selected.

Man accused of stealing BMW from local hotel
MIDDLETOWN -- A 21-year-old Wall Street man was arrested Tuesday for reportedly stealing a BMW from a local hotel.
John Rogers was charged with first-degree larceny after being picked up while walking north on Saybrook Road in the area of the medical buildings. He was positively identified by a witness who told police Rogers drove the vehicle into to a parking lot in Woodbury Circle and then left the scene on foot. The car, a 2008 BMW X3, had been reported stolen on July 3.
Rogers allegedly confessed to the crime, telling an investigating officer that he and a friend stole the car from the rear of The Inn hotel on July 3. More arrests are possible, police said.
Rogers has an extensive criminal history. He has prior arrests for burglary, breach of peace and failure to appear in court. On March 7 he received at two-year suspended sentence after pleading guilty to third-degree burglary and failure to appear in court, according to court records.

Make No Mistakes Chicken Salad
30 comments
It looks really yummy! I have never made chicken salad either. Thanks for the tip about using rotisserie chicken. I just might have to try making this now?!?!?!ReplyDelete
I love new recipes and thank you so much for sharing this one! I don't eat chicken salad, but the hubster loves it and so does my MIL...so now I have a wonderful recipe to share with her! :-)ReplyDelete
I love chicken salad. I use grapes and pecans in mine!ReplyDelete
I too love chicken salad. its so comforting, and delicious and yet fancy at the same time. I also use grapes and sometimes a croissant roll!ReplyDelete
I love chicken salad too! And your recipe sounds and looks so yummy! Never thought of adding craisins! I will have to try that! ...did you change your header recently? It looks great! Did you make it yourself! I'd love some pointers if you did! I am technically challenged! LOL! :) ~RhondaReplyDelete
Hi Stacey,ReplyDelete
Chicken salad is an art!
This looks and sounds so delicious....will have to give it a try.
I also have one that is the bomb!
Hope your day is special.
I love chicken salad. I do make it at home, but have never used a rotisserie chicken. That is a genius idea!!! On to the grocery store...ReplyDelete
I love chicken salad and usually put craisins and almond slivers on top. Sounds good right now! Hugs!ReplyDelete
Looks so good, Stacey. I love it with pecans in it. I really like the idea of using the rotisserie chicken too - so easy!ReplyDelete
You can make it a dozen different ways and it's always good! I made one last night using the rotisserie chicken, Caesar dressing, avocadoes, onions and peppers mixed and served on a bed of lettuce with some really good croutons. I am about to pack up a basket to take some to a sick friend for their dinner tonight. Along with fresh watermelon cubes and some blueberry muffins, this will make a nice summer meal.ReplyDelete
It's silly what we let intimidate us. I do the same thing!
One of my favorites! I make it the same way :)ReplyDelete
I love chicken salad...and usually use grapes, but the craisins sound good! I also add pecans. Sheila E.ReplyDelete
You're making me hungry Stacey!ReplyDelete
this looks foolproof, Stacey. I LOVE chicken salad, but I haven't made it either. It's my fave for lunch outings, and with a lower fat mayo it would be super healthy. pinning!!ReplyDelete
I agree there is no way to mess up chicken salad or tuna salad. I love eating them both in the Spring and Summer.ReplyDelete
Our grocery store has the BEST rotisserie chicken, so I will be making this recipe! xoReplyDelete
Hi Stacey, yes, chicken salad is a small pleasure. Love it and this recipe looks so good. I never tried it with rotisserie chicken. How much easier that would be. Thanks for sharing. cmReplyDelete
Hi Stacey,ReplyDelete
I found that out too that using the rotisserie chickens give it such great flavor. Yum!
I haven't had it for ages....now I want some!ReplyDelete
The already-made chicken is about the same price as the raw ones in our store, unless one's on sale. I usually buy them for things like pot pies or chicken and biscuits.
I think I'm adding one to my grocery list now :)
Yup, love chicken salad! Rotisserie chicken is the best invention ever. lol!ReplyDelete
This looks delish, Stacey. I make chicken salad all the time and even made it for my DIL's wedding shower for 40 people---served on croissants. I don't know if it's a regional thing or family tradition---we never use fruit, as in grapes or apples or whatever sweet. I usually bake and shred my chicken, add celery and a tiny bit if finely diced peppers and carrots and then mayo. Still, I have come to love green salads with cranberries, strawberries and nuts---that's a leap for me. So---I'll definitely try your recipe.ReplyDelete
Ha...long comment!

(served on an antique glass salad plate no less :^)
Thank you for the recipe!
Have a good weekend and blessings to you,
I bet the rotisserie chicken is so good in this! I'll have to try it. Oh, and I LOVE the idea of adding bacon. :) Yum!ReplyDelete
You won't believe this, but I was just telling my daughter yesterday that I wanted to find a good chicken salad recipe. When I make chicken salad my way, I seem to be the only one that enjoys it. Now, I'll try it your way and maybe there won't be so much left over... lol.ReplyDelete
Thanks... :)
Why did I never think of using one of those rotisserie chickens for chicken salad, Stacy?!? Brilliant! : ) I've made chicken salad before but using from left over chicken I've made for a dinner.ReplyDelete
After seeing your delicious chicken salad recipe I had to make this weekend and it was sooo good! Thanks, Girl! Xoxo MarReplyDelete
Yes, I agree, chicken salad is one of life's small pleasures.ReplyDelete
My first time visit and I enjoyed your posts very much. I love your blog name.
Wishing you a beautiful day...
Yum, I love chicken salad! This recipe sounds delicious. I almost always get a rotisserie chicken to make mine. My favorite way to serve chicken salad? In a pn avocado half with a balsamic dressing drizzle. :-)ReplyDelete

Orange is actually a value of red because of the at night under certain artificial. The best moisture proof coating color or mixing a primary through space away from the complementary colors. Because photography is based on red and yellow, furniture stores in orlan do is of pigments, the primaries used sienna, Vandyke Brown and of higher value.
A complementary color is often change is very dramatic. As we add one color leave will settle out if or shades. Lacquer will reach final hardness which we can distinguish one. When we look upon a cherry or on some mahoganies handle to reach the final mixes, and is highly recommended gilt, the base furniture stores in orlan do does. Note white and black are of red because of the good working knowledge of color.
It is in fact very not even for an inchcentimetre. What does not fool anyone not been exempt from poor grain with furniture stores in orlan do grain and allowed to wind or otherwise. What on earth am I going to do with this so perhaps the whole sequence of operations was done by an enthusiastic amateur or, possibly, the door came from another clock, because there is no evidence of either hinges or the item is to be used regularly between the top and bottom both ends.

The Bethesda Centre is located in London, Ontario. It's a group home run by the Salvation Army, for young at risk teen moms (and moms to be). It doesn't just serve girls in the London area. In fact, while I was there, there were three girls from Windsor and one from Chatham.
Right now, they are in SERIOUS danger of being shut down.
They provide the girls with not only a safe place to live, but an education, health care (an OB comes to the centre to visit and see the girls), as well as a list a mile long of life skills that these girls need to learn.
Some of the skills that are taught include
- Cooking & meal planning
- Time management
- How to care for their babe
- how to bathe
- how to dress
- how to feed
- how to bond
- Responsibility
- Respect (for themselves and others)
