Here are some shots I took of the newest “UFO” sighting in Phoenix…. They look like flares to me, and they were floating in the direction of the prevailing winds.

My latest culinary endeavor is “Chicken Cordon Blu”, and was very easy and very tasty.

Ingredients:                                 Pre-time 10 minutes     Bake time: 30 minutes

  • Chicken breast
  • Bread crumbs
  • Parmesan
  • Mozzarella (shreded)
  • Sliced Prosciutto (or ham)
  • Mayonnaise

First start by pounding the chicken, you want to get it as thin as possible, 1/4″ thick will do. Dry the chicken and layout flat, lay 2 slices of prosciutto on top. Sprinkle mozzarella on top liberally. Now roll the chicken breast from the thinnest part, so that you had a short stubby roll not a long slender roll.  In a bowl mix mayo and parmesan together so you have a paste. Coat chicken with paste and dredge in bowl of bread crumbs. Place chicken on piece of parchment paper seam side down. and bake @ 425 for 30 minutes or untill golden brown.

Valve’s “Portal” has opened a whole new…..Portal….. into the world of gaming. What made the original Half-Life such a great game was that you had to use your head, it was not a button masher. The last versions (HL2, Episode 1&2) put their focus into visuals effect, lighting, physics. All of which create a great gaming environment, but the addition of the portal gun just makes things really fun.

Senators Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) have tag-teamed in the past on the net neutrality issue, and they’re still a formidable bipartisan duo. On Friday, the two senators asked the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee to see if a lack of network neutrality rules were causing problems for Americans in the wake of some widely-publicized PR gaffes by some of the country’s largest telecommunications firms.
