It is perfect for company because it can be adjusted to feed as many as necessary and can easily be made a day ahead of time, but it is also simple enough to make a warm hearty lunch. If you have seafood lovers in your group, try using imitation crab meat or small shrimp instead of chicken.

1 lb. large shell pasta, cooked until just done and rinsed

3 med. Chicken breasts cooked (if you prefer dark meat, legs or thighs can be used) and cut into bite sized pieces.

10 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled (pre-cooked bacon will work just as well)

2 cups smoked cheddar cheese, grated.

1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated.

2 cups plain potato chips, finely crushed.

1 jar prepared garlic parmesan alfredo pasta sauce.

1 bunch green onions finely chopped.

1 cup frozen peas, thawed.

Pre-heat oven to 375 F.

In a large bowl, combine cooled pasta, chicken pieces, Monterey Jack cheese, and onion. Add pasta sauce, bacon, peas, and one cup of smoked cheddar cheese. Combine very gently to avoid breaking the pasta. Place mixture in a large casserole dish or a lasagna pan and smooth the top evenly. Sprinkle top with remaining cup of smoked cheddar cheese and crushed potato chips. Cover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, uncover and return to oven until topping is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

Are you the type who finds it difficult to fit into a nice pair of jeans? Who dread wearing jeans because it’s too tight and rough? I have this issues with jeans, and I would rather choose a dress over a jeans for the reason that I hate feeling the hassles of changing from one jeans to another because I couldn’t find a jeans that fits me perfectly. I hate the feeling of having to slip into my pants and my legs just don’t fit, and there I would feel frustrated again and again.

And so I was going over some items online and came across pajama jeans, wow, seriously there is such a jeans? I feel my dilemma about pants would be resolved after having to slip into this new pair of jeans without doing so much time buttoning or zipping and not feeling frustrated by the rough feel of the denim all because its stretchy fabrics are soft and gives me comfort and best thing is I can move freely with so much poise, glamour and style. It’s like really wearing a pyjama, only it’s actually jeans. Gone are the days were I dread to shop for pants. Amazing!

I am surprised, even after years of painting them, how pet portraits warm someone’s heart. It really speaks to how deeply people bond with their pets and what an important role the dog or cat, or even birds, play in our emotional lives. Studies of course have shown how people with pets live longer and are happier in general than those without pets. When I worked in an alzheimer’s unit as a CNA, the days when volunteers would bring in visiting dogs it was so great to see the faces that would be so vague most of the time suddenly spark into life and a big smile appear when the dog would greet them happily. They would come out of their other world and engage meaningfully for a moment. I have painted pet portraits for years and always hear from the pet owner how much it means to them that I captured their personality. Order a pet portrait for yourself or for a friend long before the pet passes on and it’s value will increase tenfold at that sad time. You’ll be glad you did.

One of the most important innovation in the management and control of a fleet of vehicles for any business that has to do this has been the design and development of GPS tracking systems, so that they can track every business vehicle that they own at all times of the day and night and for every day of the year. Of course this will need them to have someone available at all times to monitor and manage their GPS vehicle tracking system, but in truth this is not such a difficult task and only needs an employee who can be trained up by the business.

All the information about the vehicles, their location, speeds and direction of travel, as well as historical information about where they have been and how long they have been travelling between different destinations can easily be displayed on a central personal computer that in most cases will be connected to an online website where the fleet manager can login to see all the latest tracking details on the companies vehicles. These types of GPS tracking systems can be expensive to install initially, but at the end of the day the benefits and savings that the business will make will be a great return on investment.

There are literally thousands of people everyday who make the decision to try and make a career for themselves on the internet. The world of online marketing tempts them with a promise of untold easy riches, but unfortunately that is never the way it is going to be. Most will try affiliate marketing at first as this is what the wise guys on the web tell them is the best way to get started. And to a certain extent this is true as the concept behind earning affiliate commissions from websites such as Amazon, Ebay and Clickbank is easy to understand and seemingly easy to implement.

But nobody will have told them how hard it is to actually rank their websites high in the search engines like Google and how hard it is to get visitor traffic and potential customers to come to their sites to buy a product or service so that they can earn a commission. There is a lot of hard work in promoting any website and this is now getting harder every day for all affiliates and this is why many turn to Adsense monetization as the easy option. But once again no one will have told them about smart pricing and how it can make all their click throughs pretty much worthless!
