Lots of uses for leftover chicken

I have some leftover chicken in the house. I had baked two whole chickens, but didn't get very far through the second one, so I put it in the fridge for later use. Yes, I like to eat cold chicken, but that doesn't leave much to write about. My go-to is making up a chicken salad for making up some sandwiches later. If I want to make up a hearty dip for chips and crackers, I'll lightly process the cubed chicken in a food processor so the meat is in small fragments. This makes dipping so much easier.

REC Silicon lays off estimated 70 employees

REC Silicon lays off estimated 70 employees

MOSES LAKE — The indications were there in July when REC Silicon scaled back operations at the Moses Lake facility. On Wednesday, it took cost-cutting measures to the next level, laying off an estimated 70 employees. Qualified employees were offered an optional early retirement incentive, others were laid off. According to a company statement, the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China, restricting REC Silicon’s access to polysilicon markets in China, primarily led to lower third quarter revenues. “We offered early retirement incentives to employees that qualified last week, before we did any layoffs,” Director of Investor Relations and Global Sourcing Chris Bowes said in a telephone interview from London. “If market conditions change and we do start (Silane IV plant) back up, we could do a call back.” The company had reduced its Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) technology at its facility in Moses Lake last July by 2,000 metric tons annually, and warned in late September it would be forced to shut down FBR production entirely if Chinese duties on U.S. polysilicon were not lifted. REC Silicon reduced its production capacity utilization to about 50 percent, stopping production at the Silane IV plant in October, according to its third quarter revenues report. The Silane III plant is continuing to operate. “The Moses Lake facility is a world-class facility and we can compete with anybody in the world because of the technology we use. Really, this is about access to all markets,” Bowes said. “We don’t have access to the Chinese market because of the trade war and that has essentially shut us out. So it is imperative to get that resolved.” The Chinese government imposed duties in 2013 in response to the American tariffs imposed the previous year on imported solar panels. The negotiations between the countries have been ongoing ever since. It is not known when the dispute might be resolved, according to company officials. With the ongoing trade war, access to the world’s biggest consumer of polysilicon for US-based producers, primarily Hemlock Semiconductor and REC Silicon, is effectively closed. The dispute, combined with a drop in the price for Chinese-produced polysilicon, hurts the company’s ability to sell its products to new markets. "We have been successful in maintaining sufficient liquidity during this period of market disruption. Because of our efforts to control costs, I expect REC Silicon to remain a low-cost leader in the polysilicon industry, even at reduced production rates." said Tore Torvund, CEO. Moving to demand forecasts in 2017, the situation becomes increasingly disconnected, with polysilicon supply markedly below end-market demand to the tune of an estimated 28,000 metric tons.

Helping our local community

Our country is currently electing public officials to look after the common good. It isn’t only people in elected office, however, who provide important public service. Every town is blessed with persons who serve their community by volunteering to provide transportation to a doctor’s office, tutor a student, work in a food bank, serve on a non-profit board of directors, coach a soccer team, raise money for an animal shelter... the list goes on and on.

Think about it

As you Clinton supporters sit around and wonder what color pantsuit Hillary will wear to her inaugural ball, you need to consider some important questions. Do you really want a return to the days of daily scandals to be investigated? Do you really want a chief of staff Huma Abedin who is a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and is married to the biggest pervert in America, Anthony Weiner? Do you really want four to eight years of non-stop investigations, lies, and pleading the Fifth? Do you really want p President that nobody trusts and causes a lack of influence and massive embarrassment in the world? Do you want Bill Clinton in the White House with nothing but free time on his hands? There is absolutely no doubt that the Clintons are both liars and criminals. Hillary would be impeached just like her husband. No matter what your politics are, it is time to stand up and say character really does matter!. Electing Hillary Clinton to the highest office in our country would be a total disaster for America. We cannot reward her criminal behavior.
