I am blessed to have been born to a woman who really knows how to cook. She can turn a skinny man fat and a vegetarian into a carnivore. She is truly amazing but for some reason I have not been able to follow in her footsteps in the kitchen. She is a true Midwestern woman who can turn a simple supper into a delightful feast. Even after decades of being a taste tester and watching her do her magic, my only secret weapon is lemon pepper.

It may be sad but it is true. Lemon pepper is my only realcooking ally. I put in on chicken at least once a week and that is about as far as my seasoning skills have taken me. Let’s just say that I eat a lot of chicken. I know how to throw salt and pepper on a dish or lob some butter on top but adding lemon pepper is about as fancy as I get.

I don’t know if I have a natural love for lemon pepper or if I learned early on that it was a quick and easy way to fake culinary skills. Sprinkling a bit on top of chicken makes…

The Vegas Experience

Vegas stands out like a jewel across the desert. The bright lights can be seen from great distances and act as a beacon bringing in droves of visitors in search of riches, romance, and a myriad of other goals year after year. If the lights weren’t enough from a distance, once you’ve entered Vegas you will discover that the lights and sounds are even more pronounced up close and personal. Vegas is probably the ultimate experience in sound and light. If you’re not hearing the chinking of slots or music from the Elvis impersonators you are hearing chapelbells from someone getting married along the strip.

Whether you are coming to Vegas for the casinos and hopes of finding fame and fortune, the fabulous shows and big name headliners, the wonderful food that is one of the biggest sins to be found in this city, golf, marriage and happily ever after, or the nightlife that has earned Vegas the title of ‘Sin City’. You are well on your way to an experience you are unlikely to forget.

While Vegas has not always been thought of us an appropriate vacation destination for those with families, this city is really trying…

The Glossary of Telescopes

When you enter into any new area of science, you almost always find yourself with a baffling new language of technical terms to learn before you can converse with the experts. This is certainly true in astronomy both in terms of terms that refer to the cosmos and terms that describe the tools of the trade, the most prevalent being the telescope. So to get us off of first base, let’s define some of the key terms that pertain to telescopes to help you be able to talk to them more intelligently.

The firstarea of specialization in telescopes has to do with the types of telescopes people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the Refractor, the Reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope.

* The refractor telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece.

* The reflector telescope has a concave lens which means it bends in. It uses mirrors to focus the image that you eventually see.

On Mints and Mint Marks

Mint Marks are tiny letters referring to the locality where the minting of coins took place. The position of mint mark can be found typically on the back side of coins that were minted before the year 1965 and on the front after the year 1967.

Coins of every US mint branch are recognized by mint marks. These coin marks date back to ancient times in Rome and Greece.

The “Director of the Mint”, through the “Act of March 3, 1835”, set rules to classify and distinguish the coins released from every USMint branch. This core management set accurate standards and pattern of production as well as responsible coinage.

Coins that minted at the “Philadelphia mint” earlier than the year 1979 have no mint marks. So it was in that year that the dollar was marked with the letter P and other denominations had that same mark thereafter.

All dies for US coins are produced at the “Philadelphia Mint” and prior to shipping the coins to their mint branch, coins are marked first with the correct and designated mint markings. The precise size and positioning of the coins’ mint mark can slightly…

Being sick is never fun. Being sick and then getting hit by a large doctor bill just adds insult to injury. That’s why it’s so important to have health insurance. Unfortunately as the cost of medical care and prescription drugs continue to race upward, so too does the cost of health insurance. Finding affordable health insurance to help defray expensive medical costs can be very challenging.

Health insurance coverage can vary greatly from program to program. Some insurance programs require a large monthly payment in order to be covered. Other insurance programs require the covered person to pay a large co-payor deductible. Still other insurance programs may require both a large monthly payment and a huge deductible. These expensive monthly payments, co-pays, and deductibles cause some people to stop looking for affordable health insurance. But this is a mistake.

The lack of health insurance can be financially disastrous to any person on any given day. A healthy person could be making a great living and then suddenly be stricken with appendicitis or a similar illness. Without insurance, the medical costs associated with a hospital stay and an operation could absolutely cripple a person’s financial health. That’s why finding affordable health insurance…
