Daves Spicy Chicken, Beans and Rice Soup

Photo by svenwerkI made this for dinner tonight out of leftovers in the fridge, pretty much because I was too lazy to head to the store.  I had no plan on writing this down, but surprisingly, my family loved this so I have to record it before I forget what went into it.  I prepped it after lunch and allowed it to cook during the afternoon football games and it was done by dinner.  I thought it was really good, and my son said it was tasty with just a little bit of “kick” which he really liked.

    Scouts can score free SAT and ACT test prep software

    Testprep

    Another school year is here, meaning it’s time for a fresh batch of high school students to start worrying about standardized tests.

    But thanks to an alliance between the BSA and eKnowledge, some of the financial worry about getting ready for those tests is gone.

    That’s because the test prep company eKnowledge recently announced that its $200 SAT and ACT PowerPrep software will be available free to members of the Boy Scouts of America.

    There are separate versions for the SAT and the ACT, and it’s free whether you order one or both. Customers must still pay shipping and handling fees, which total less than $14 for each version of the software that you order.

    According to a BSA release about the partnership, the software "includes more than 20 hours of video instruction, 3,000 files of supplemental test prep material, thousands of interactive diagnostic tools, sample questions, practice tests, and graphic teaching illustrations." To order or get more information, visit the eKnowledge Web site.

    The eKnowledge Sponsorship Alliance, now in its fourth year, has worked with dozens of community organizations to give away more than $32.4 million worth of software so far.
