The Training College of Naif Arab University for Security Sciences and the Council of Arab Interior Ministers will jointly organize a training course on combating terrorism. Three days of activities and classes will be held in Tunis, beginning tomorrow.
Dr Abdulaziz Al-Ghamdi, the president of the university, said the training course comes in line with the Arab strategy for fighting terrorism. He quoted the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, who said that the crime of terrorism originates from people who have sick and deviant minds.
The training course will cover several topics, including terror cells, the role of religion in fighting terrorism, the contradiction of terrorism with Islamic law and the Saudi experience in dealing with extremism.
Naif Arab University has organized more than 260 training courses and workshops in its efforts to fight terrorism.

5 Myths About Curing Common Injuries (You Probably Believe)
In the middle of any kind of health emergency, large or small, you'll immediately be surrounded by friends shouting tips about how to handle it. When you get all of this conflicting advice ("He's choking! Kick him in the balls!"), you wonder if their medical knowledge is coming from actual science, old wives' tales they heard from their grandma, or something they saw in a comic book. Don't bother asking -- they don't know, either.
So, from time to time we like to go look up the actual medical advice from experts to find all of the ways conventional wisdom gets these things disastrously wrong.
#5. Don't Tilt Your Head Back to Stop a Nosebleed
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
If you were the same stereotypical nerd that we were in high school, then you know the pain of occasional nosebleeds as intimately as wedgie rash. And whether these sudden gouts of blood are due to a dodgeball to the face or random chance, everyone instinctively does the same thing: squeeze the nostrils shut and tilt their head back.
Michael Blann/Digital Vision/Getty Images
You should probably wait until the fight ends to try that, though.
It makes sense, considering that the first order of business is to keep blood from running all over your one good T-shirt. Sure, bloodstains look badass when they're new, but when they dry, they just look like you dribbled brown gravy all over yourself.
But Actually ...
Not only does holding your head back not do anything to actually stop the nosebleed, but it grants the blood free access to flow down your throat, which is actually a worse place for it to be than on your Dragon Ball Z shirt. Sure, you might figure that blood is supposed to be inside you anyway, so it can't do any more harm down there, but actually, this technique can result in choking, or, if the blood travels further down, stomach irritation and vomiting. All things considered, you'll only wind up grossing everyone out even more.

"... and then I barfed up a gallon of my own blood. She said she'll call me."
What Can You Do Instead?
The consensus among doctors is that you should sit down, pinch your nose, and lean forward. Leaning forward will help you avoid swallowing your blood, pinching your nose will prevent the blood from escaping it, and sitting down will help you not be standing around like a jackass while waiting for the bleeding to stop. Most nosebleeds will stop by themselves within 10 minutes, so you can usually ride them out in this manner without making your house look like the finale of Django Unchained.
#4. If Poisoned, Don't Induce Vomiting (Unless a Doctor Says So)
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
So your friend got distracted on beer night and accidentally drank a glass of paint thinner. It's the kind of comical situation that we who write for comedy sites find ourselves in every day. But unfortunately, unlike in Wile E. Coyote cartoons, a case of poisoning rarely results in your face turning green and then you jumping through a wall. Most of us probably know what to do about it, though -- after all, it's not rocket science. You have to get the poison out. Two fingers down the throat will bring that stuff right back up again. If it's good enough for James Bond, it's good enough for us.
Greg Williams/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"If there's anything two fingers can't accomplish, I haven't found it yet."
But Actually ...
If some substance is doing damage to the inside of your friend's body, then, like chasing an angry raccoon out of your house via the back door, it's going to do more damage on its way out. Many poisons are acidic or alkaline in nature, so although it would have been better not to swallow poison in the first place, bringing it back up via the esophagus can just burn your throat out.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
4 out of 5 doctors advise against burning vital organs. The fifth is standing behind you right now.
Remember that your stomach is full of acid anyway -- it might be able to deal with an acidic substance. Sitting in a pool of acid is literally its job. But anyone who has had to contend with heartburn knows that the throat doesn't deal with it so well. Your lungs, if you should happen to gag while blowing volatile acidic chunks, even less so.
What Can You Do Instead?
Your problem is that there is no universal first-aid response for "poisoning" because there are a million different substances out there that all wreak havoc on your insides in different ways. You have to call for help -- and while you wait, you can make sure your friend doesn't have any poison left in his mouth. If he stops breathing, do CPR. But that's it, until you get instructions from somebody smarter than you.
Jemal Countess/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Not Steven Hawking. He isn't even a dentist.
Now, if you're lucky, you know what your friend drank and it came in a bottle with instructions on the back that tell you what to do if you manage to put it inside your dumb ass. But in any case, don't mess around with whatever folksy remedy your grandmother told you about, involving vomit or anything else. Call poison control, because the only antidote that can help you comes with the letters "M.D." on its business card.
#3. A Cold Shower Does Nothing to Speed Sobriety
Andrea Chu/Digital Vision/Getty Images
We were all young once, and some of us still are, so most of us know the joys of waking up drunk after a night of partying. It's usually a week after we swore to never do that again. So what happens if you have things to do and people to meet, but you still need to hold onto the walls to stop the room from spinning? Conventional wisdom says that you jump into a cold shower to scare your body sober.
Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
This can also be an effective solution for morning wood.
But Actually ...
It turns out your shower water does not possess any magical healing properties. It does, however, have the ability to give you hypothermia when you're drunk.
As we've mentioned in the past, despite what cute cartoons about droopy-eyed brandy-carrying Saint Bernards may lead you to believe, alcohol does not warm you up. In fact, alcohol lowers your overall body temperature, so you're making things a lot worse when you add cold water to the equation.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Thermodynamics, you insipid bitch!
"Well, better cold than drunk," you say defiantly, because you like to argue with computer screens while reading articles on the Internet. That's the thing, though: Cold water doesn't do shit to cancel the effects of alcohol. Worse than that, in extreme cases, the shock of cold water may even knock a drunk person unconscious. So unless your weekend plans include lying naked in a pool of icy water, we strongly advise you to stay away from cold showers.
What Can You Do Instead?
Although there are a million different folk cures for drunkenness, from coffee to Berocca to a round of slaps to the face, the truth is that the only true way to sober up is to wait it out while your punished, weeping liver churns through the alcohol. You could of course try drinking in moderation in the first place, but how in the hell will you tolerate being around your drunk friends then?

Turn Signal Steering Column Bypass - In the Blink of a SwitchWritten by on February 1, 2010 Turn Signal Steering Column Bypass
If you recall, in last month's article covering American Autowire's Highway 15 Nostalgia wiring kit, the issue regarding turn signals was brought up a number of times. In short, the situation revolved around the harness' steering column integrated turn signals and the fact that the vehicle was not equipped with a GM-style column for which the harness was designed. For some, this wouldn't have been an issue whatsoever, at least not after the brake light wiring bypass was figured out (which was, as it's very easy to do); they'd simply bypass the turn signals altogether.
For those who don't consider bypassing a viable option, American Autowire has the solution. Although in reality, it too is a bypass-of the '70s-era GM (or aftermarket) steering column, that is. To avoid cutting up a perfectly good wiring harness just to accommodate signals, they can provide an alternative setup that still relies on the Highway 15's column connector plug by means of a pre-wired male disconnect. In some cases, this eliminates the column's role in the wiring "scheme" altogether, unless you use a turn signal switch that mounts to the column. With the early steering columns not affording much real estate to attach clunky accessories to in the first place (not to mention the wiring), you can keep things uncluttered by going with a toggle switch to activate the blinkers-mounted under the dash, most wouldn't even know it was there to begin with.
There is one more vital component however-the actual turn signals that will be activated by the modified switch. For the rears, no additional components are required other than a taillight equipped with the appropriate bulb and subsequently wired correctly. For the front, unless you're running headlights with built-in "running" lights (which can be modified to act as signals) or the newer headlight conversions that include them, you'll need to provide a destination for the flasher to, well, flash. In this case, that was accomplished by installing a set of Juliano's new teardrop external-mount lights, which are complete with running light/turn signal wiring pigtail and LED bulbs. All that's left from here is integrate the wiring into the existing harness and connect all the ends to their respective destinations.
After just tackling the whole vehicle harness install, the turn signal bypass couldn't have been easier, especially thanks to American Autowire's ability to facilitate it! And the "options" don't stop there, either-they can accommodate many special requests, from harness issues to even renting specialty tools.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The bigger spool of wire below with the larger connector plug is the steering column and turn signal connection kit supplied with American Autowire's Highway series kits. In the upper left are the various feed connectors also included. If you're not using the GM column this is all intended for, the smaller spool with the toggle switch and male pin connector is the solution.But before further addressing the activation portion, we should probably consider the actual component performing the service that requires activating. Among the options weighed, Juliano's new LED-equipped turn signals seem to fit the bill-and the headlights-perfectly.While it may not appear so much to be the case now, the idea of bolting a rather large device to a dainty little steering column in surroundings that will soon afford very little additional space didn't sound like a good idea.To circumvent the column, American Autowire went to the trouble of developing a pre-wired make connector that plugs directly into the Highway 15's GM steering column harness.In lieu of a column-mounted lever, despite its fancy self-return feature, the alternative of using a small toggle switch is much more suited to this project-and for many reasons. American Autowire provides the optional turn signal kit pre-wired from switch to plug.The toggle switch can easily be mounted "below" the dash, as long as it's accessible when driving (without causing any distraction!) and there's enough clearance to route the wires (i.e. not directly below a gauge).With the exception of the hazard lights and gauge connectors, the wiring will follow the schematic from the Highway 15 kit.As mentioned last month, the headlight wiring won't be affected, but there will be a slight modification to the taillight wiring since it had to be modified to work without the column harness.
The large bundle of wire dissects into three separate mini-looms. If you're prone to tangling kite string like this installer, do yourself a huge favor and zip tie accordingly. The inexpensive pliers shown are great for cinching the ties down nice and tight.Not only do the zip ties keep things tidy, tying off the wires as such allows you to route them to their final destinations without snags-just remember to cut the excess ends of the ties off first! Also, stretch the wires for the front/rear lights out straight to help "uncurl", which should also tell how much, if any, excess wire can be trimmed before routing.The brown wire bundled in with the column/signal connector kit is for the hazards, which as already noted, will not be used-not only because they weren't intended to begin with, but because there's no provision on the toggle switch side for obvious reasons (would have to use a different type of switch).For the time being, there will just be two fuse panel connections: turn signals and brake lights. Later, once all the pieces for the antique horn are collected, the horn switch slot will get occupied.Previously, to facilitate the brake lights with the absence of the column harness, the brake switch provided the direct feed via the fuse panel. Now, to allow the signals to override the brake lights when in use that feed will replace the brake light, which will now go back through the column harness.The wires on the Juliano's turn signals are rather short, so no excess was trimmed from the toggle switch wiring (the headlight loom from Chevs of the 40's allowed the connection to be made accessibly within the radiator core support).The good thing about the signal wiring being short is that you can make the connection "inside" the headlight bucket, which allows the newer-style wires to remain hidden from view. The white wire for the running lights can be spliced into the main harness; ground the black wire accordingly.Now, instead of having a single feed (spliced off) for both taillights, the column harness will provide them each individually. Not to be confused with the hazard light, the brown wire in this section is the running light feed.You can never have enough tools-but sometimes, the "right" tools are just too expensive to have, especially when they're for occasional use. Fortunately, in the case of specialized crimping tools (as highlighted in last month's article), American Autowire has a program where customers can rent these Delphi crimpers, which is highly recommended.

Unanswered: Need help with hasOne association
I'm trying to create a hasOne association on a model, and provide the associated data along with the parent model's data.
But I'm not sure how to configure the association, or how to access the associated data from an instance of the parent model. Could someone point me in the right direction?
As an example, with data like this:
{ firstName: 'Joe', address: { street: 'Avenue L', city: 'Brooklyn' } }
Ext.define('app.model.Person', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', config: { fields: [ {name: "firstName", type: "string"} ], hasOne: { // this is the part I'm not sure about model: 'app.model.Address', name: 'address' }, proxy: { type: 'ajax', ... reader: { type: 'json' } } } }); Ext.define('app.model.Address', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', config: { fields: [ {name: "street", type: "string"}, {name: "city", type: "string"} ] } });
The intro to the API docs for HasOne is a little confusing. It seems to indicate that if X hasOne Y, the hasOne association should be configured on Y's model, not X's. Is this a typo? Also, the config names on the Ext.data.association.* classes (e.g. "associatedModel") are different from the ones used in almost every example (e.g. "model"). So it's not clear what maps to what.
15 Feb 2012 5:05 PM #2
Yes, the documentation for that is wrong and will be updated in the next release. Sorry about that!
Your hasOne association should be on the person. The name field will automatically map to the field ont he record (so 'address' would use the 'address' field and create the 'getAddress' getter). If for some reason you want these to be different, you can use 'associationKey' to set the actual record field to be used.
Is your code working?Sencha Inc.

It didn't work as posted, although I've managed to cobble together something that works.
- The "name" config doesn't seem to do anything with HasOne. It seems like this only works with HasMany.
- Instead, I replaced it with two separate configs: "associationKey" for the field containing the associated data, and "getterName" for the getter function name:
hasOne: { model: 'app.model.Address', associationKey: 'address', getterName: 'getAddress' }
- In addition, I had to specify a proxy on the Address model. This seems strange, since I might want to use this model in other contexts:
proxy: { type: 'memory' }
16 Jan 2014 11:02 AM #4
The documentation is still quite wrong, without even testing you can see there are issues.
The example at the top has a simple:
associations: { type: 'hasOne', model: 'Address' }
Time to trial and error this thing. Anyone come up with the "Sencha Wiki" yet that actually has up to date documentation?
19 May 2014 11:28 AM #5
Any good documentation for hasOne, hasMany and belongsTo
Any good documentation for hasOne, hasMany and belongsTo properties of Models?

@jweber thanks for trying, but I can't get this to work. I want to specify a bunch of status objects once and then load them for every record and it's statusId. Seems I'll have to load em manually.

I need to prove the above claim. I can show that $BB(2)\ge 4$ by building a turing machine, but how can i show that $BB(2) \le 4$?

I need to prove the above claim. I can show that $BB(2)\ge 4$ by building a turing machine, but how can i show that $BB(2) \le 4$?
Searched a lot over the web, and saw that Rado proved it in 1963.
I imagine the seminar exercise went something like this.
Let $M$ be a winning machine with starting state $A$, halting state $H$ and one other state $B$. Let's build the transition function of $M$ (or an equivalent or better winner) by looking at the first few transitions. We can assume the first transition is:
$(A, 0) \mapsto (1, R, B)$
because, (a) if $M$ does not write 1, we can swap $A$ and $B$ to get a slightly faster winner, (b) if $M$ moves left, then the machine obtained from $M$ by swapping $L$ and $R$ is an equivalent winner, (c) if $M$ stays in state $A$ it will not terminate, and (d) if $M$ halts it isn't a winner.
Then we can assume the second transition is:
$(B, 0) \mapsto (t_1, L, s_1)$
for some $t_1 \in \{0, 1\}$ and $s_1 \in \{A, B\}$, because if $M$ moves right again into either state $A$ or $B$ it will not terminate and if it halts it isn't a winner.
On the third transition, we are in state $s_1$ reading 1 and we can't win by halting, so we have:
$(s_1, 1) \mapsto (t_2, d, s)$
for some $t_2 \in \{0, 1\}$, $d \in \{L, R\}$ and $s \in \{A, B\}$. As $M$ must halt, for $s_1 \not= s_2 \in \{A, B\}$, $M$ must halt on $(s_2, 1)$, so the remaining element of the transition function is:
$(s_2, 1) \mapsto (1, X, H)$
where $X$ is irrelevant and $M$ must write 1, since changing a 1 to a 0 on the last step is clearly a losing strategy. There are now just 32 possibilities for $t_1$, $t_2$, $d$, $s$ and $s_1$ to work through. I originally stopped here with an ellipsis, since in the seminar context the participants could divide the work up and do it by brute force, but let me give an argument that while still rather bitty can be checked by an individual.
After the third transition the tape looks like this:
$\begin{array}{lccccc} \mbox{Index:} & \ldots & -1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & \ldots\\ \mbox{Contents:} & \ldots & 0 & t_2 & t_1 & 0 & \ldots \end{array} $
and we are in state $s$ reading either cell $-1$ (if $d = L$) or cell $1$ (if $d = R$). I claim that $d = L$. To see this assume for a contradiction that $d = R$. Then if $t_1 = 0$, $M$ will not terminate (if $s = A$, we are essentially back in the starting position and $M$ will diverge to the right; if $s = B$ and $t_2 = 1$ $M$ will spin on cells 0 and 1 and if $s = B$ and $t_2 = 0$, $M$ will diverge to the left.) Now if $t_1 = 1$ and $s = s_2$, $M$ will halt on the next transition and so is not a winner. So $t_1 = 1$ and $s = s_1$, but then $M$ will loop (two cases to check: $s = A$ and $s = B$). In all cases when $d = R$, $M$ fails to win so $d = L$.
Now we know that the only transition that moves right is the one on $(A, 0)$. This implies that $M$ can never move right past a 1 that has already been written. It follows that the penultimate transition must be a move right. I.e., it must be a transition on $(A, 0)$. But the successor state for this transition is $B$, so we must have $s_1 = A$ and $s_2 = B$. Now if $s = A$, $M$ will either fail to terminate or will halt and lose on the fourth transition (depending on the value of $t_2$). We conclude that $s = B$, so the transition function looks like this:
$\begin{array}{l} (A, 0) \mapsto (1, R, B) \\ (B, 0) \mapsto (t_1, L, A) \\ (A, 1) \mapsto (t_2, L, B) \\ (B, 1) \mapsto (1, X, H) \end{array}$
We now have just four cases to check and unsurprisingly the only possibility that makes $M$ terminate after writing four 1s is the one with $t_1 = t_2 = 1$.
Let allow me to write down this table of possible rules:
There will be indeed 20736 TMs, but you can easily eliminate many of them. You probably know that Robert Munafo in his site concluded that the first rule, for A0 must be 1RB, so, writing one and move to the right. So our table is:
This gives only 12^3 = 1728 TMs. We can reduce it further if we note that in all rules we can leave only one possibitily for the halting rule: 1RH (or 1LH, no matter for the result). So:
This leaves us with 729 TMs. Now we can note that in the rule B0, we can eliminate the possibilities 0RA, 1RA, 0RB, 1RB and 1RH, first four lead to infinite loop, the last one lead to 2 ones. Our table is:
324 TMs for now. Don't worry, we mustn't shall check them all, we need to explore 4 branches from 0LA, 1LA, 0LB, 1LB in rule B0. Now we can create the sub-ruleset for every branch, for example:
Branch B0|0LA
Note that one rule must be halting anyways, otherwise TM will works infinitely regardless to complexity of its behavior. In Branch B0|0LA, this rule must be B1|1RH, and in A1 we can eliminate the halting rule.
In every branch you will have 8 TMs, so there are 32 TMs to check. Simulate them on http://morphett.info/turing/turing.html to figure out their behavior.

Azithromycin is an antibacterial prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat certain infections, such as:
Certain bacterial respiratory diseases (such as pneumonia) are opportunistic infections. An opportunistic infection is an infection that occurs more frequently or is more severe in people with weakened immune systems—such as those infected with HIV—than in people with healthy immune systems.
Azithromycin can also be used "off-label" to prevent and treat other opportunistic infections of HIV infection. "Off-label" use refers to use of an FDA-approved medicine in a manner different from that described on the medicine label. Good medical practice and the best interests of a patient sometimes require that a medicine be used "off-label."
The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA-HIVMA), includes recommendations on the HIV-related uses of azithromycin to treat bacterial respiratory diseases (such as pneumonia) and recommendations for the following "off-label" uses of azithromycin to:
Before taking azithromycin, tell your health care provider:
Ask your health care provider about possible side effects from azithromycin. Your health care provider will tell you what to do if you have side effects.
Take azithromycin according to your health care provider's instructions. Your health care provider will tell you how much azithromycin to take and when to take it. Before you start azithromycin and each time you get a refill, read any printed information that comes with your medicine.
More information about azithromycin is available:

I'm having some trouble with the following task. I've been calculating back and forth on the following equations without getting anywhere.
Sarah is 12 years older than Reed, in 5 years time Sarah is twice the age of Reed 4 years ago, how old are they now?
$Sarah = Reed + 12$
$2(Sarah +5) = Reed -4$
This should be simple enough, still I can't get it. Maybe the calculations I've been doing on these numbers, tried lots of pages, are wrong or the equation is wrong to begin with. Any pointers would be really appreciated.

Our patients have amazing accounts of hope and resilience. Read their stories.
Your gifts help us push the boundaries of cancer treatment. Ways to Give
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a group of medical and health care systems, practices, and products, many of which are frequently used but are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine.
To understand CAM, it is helpful to first understand conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is also called mainstream, western, allopathic or regular medicine and is provided by professionals with an MD or DO (doctor of osteopathy) degree and the nurses and allied health professionals with whom they work.
Although the words complementary and alternative are often used interchangeably, they are really distinct treatment approaches. Complementary medicine is used in addition to conventional medicine; alternative medicine is used in place of standard medical treatments. Many complementary medicine therapies may improve your quality of life; alternative therapies may or may not be effective, and sometimes can be risky if they have not been tested in rigorous clinical trials to prove their effectiveness.
Integrative medicine is a total approach to patient care that encompasses the mind, body and spirit, combining conventional medicine with CAM therapies that have been found safe and effective after being studied in patients. Such integration of treatments can be beneficial when discussed with your health care team.
Complementary medicine approaches, such as the following, are sometimes used in conjunction with other cancer treatments and may help to control side effects and reduce pain and distress: acupuncture, expressive art/writing/music, biofeedback, controlled breathing, massage therapy, meditation, mindfulness, prayer and spirituality, tai chi, visualization/imagery and yoga.
Treatments such as herbal medicines, nutritional or dietary supplements and homeopathy are sometimes used as complementary or alternative approaches and may or may not have been scientifically proven to work. Some people find that alternative therapies are helpful while others have found them to have no effects or actually cause harm.
There is a vast array of CAM treatments, and surveys have shown that CAM is widely used by cancer patients. However, before you begin any CAM therapy, you should discuss your decision with your doctor and consider the following:
Moores Cancer Center and our Cancer Services offices in Vista and Encinitas offer a number of CAM modalities to complement standard medical treatment:
The Cancer Center is also a leader in clinical trials on the effects of dietary and physical activity interventions in cancer patients and survivors.

The most amazing guy in the world. He is the most gorgeous man out there! He has an amazing music taste and always starts the latest trends in clothes! The best boyfriend you could ever wish for. He's always there for you and he is someone you can trust with anything. He completes me in every way possible and makes me happy when skies are grey. You can talk to him for hours on end about anything and find myself losing track of time and end up talking to him way past your bed time. For as long as you have known him you will have had the best times of your life, he is someone who you cannot imagine your life without anymore.

MVP is a gender violence prevention program which uses the unique Bystander Approach to motivate both men and women to play a central role in solving problems that have historically been considered "women's issues": rape, battery, and sexual harassment. The MVP program views all individuals not as potential perpetrators or victims, but as empowered bystanders who can recognize and confront abuse.MVP Institutes are three-day interactive trainings designed for adults and adult educators. The Institute consists of two phases: during the first phase individuals go through the training as participants. During the second phase participants practice facilitating the MVP curriculum and create MVP implementation plans. Upon completion of the Institute, participants receive a digital copy of the MVP curriculum and are certified to utilize it with their direct service population.Male and female adult educators and youth service providers are encouraged to attend. The Institute is also open to other adults who are interested in exploring the topic of men's violence against women. Participants are eligible to receive 21 PDP's from the Massachusetts Department of Education.

LOVED IT!!! Ive never made chili before cause lets face it, no one can make chili like my dad but i am SO GLAD i did. It is fantastic, quick and simple. I did put extra lime juice and added ciltranto to it plus used Rotel instead of verde sauce but still awesome. However it was a little spicy for my kids so i might reduce the amount of heat next time.
Beef & Bean Chile Verde
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
97 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
I'm very particular about chili. I live in the south so most chilis here are spicy and I don't like spicy. My husband is a HUGE chili fan and I wanted to find a healthy recipe for chili because we are both trying to eat heathier. This recipe was FANTASTIC!! It wasn't HOT and it wasn't "blah". I made one small change by adding an extra can of beans. (I used one can pinto and one can kidney.) Before I served it, I lightly spinkled some shreaded cheese on top. I'm still new to cooking so whenever I make something I'll put some off to the side to bring to my mother. She raved about it, even bringing some over to my grandparents, who also loved it. My husband said it was the best chili he'd ever eaten and I completely agree.
This was really great.
But I added scallions, crushed red pepper, a little but of garlic powder/salt, cilantro, tomatoes, and a small can of regular salsa. Turned out great.
This was a very easy weeknight meal, just as tasty as a chili simmered for hours. I used 2 lb ground beef and 2 cans beans and kept other ingredients in the stated quantities. Luckily I tasted the salsa verde before adding it as it was very hot. Ended up using half the jar and half a jar of mild red salsa. Added a bit of additional water to achieve the consistency I was looking for. With grated cheddar, chopped green onions, light sour cream, and a side dish of raw veg, dinner was on the table in a jiffy.
It was fantastic!! While cooking the beef, onions, and bell pepper, I added about 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce to make it more flavorful. Smelled and tasted great. I also added a small can (4 tbsp) of tomato paste, and about 2 tbsp of chile-garlic sauce to the recipe. Everyone loved it.

Unreal hence magic...Superb combination of colors.
Main Content
I have just looked at your photo.
How interesting !
I think the cactus was lit by the camp fire, but the fact of the matter that they were lit by a flashlight with an orange filter.
I admire you for that - a great originality!
I wish you would be successful and happy in your life.
amazing. with carving deer on the rock.
Before my eyes focused on the cactus I thought if was a fire because it's so orange. Very lovely shot.
Oh wow, this is lovely. My kind of shot. The sharpness of the tree trunk and the background at the same time is what I really like whereas the cactus brings the colour and life to the photo.
just awesome
terrific photo
Stunning photo!
Amazing...excellent work
Excellent work..
Very nicely done.
nice night shot .really good color combination in night.
Perfect shot, congratulations
Absolutely beautiful....just love it. keep the good work up.
The native artist who etched this image of an antlered animal into this rock face thousands of years ago, saw the same ancient light of the stars in the sky as we see today, but he (very most likely he) saw the world from the cultural perspective of an era very different from our modern technological world. The petroglyph would have been made as part of a ritual to ensure a successful outcome of the hunt. The "N" shape over the animal's back would represent spears or arrows. The image of the animal seems to be in three quarter perspective, and even include two eyes and a grimace of pain, but that may be fortuitous.
The light-painted cactus in the photo seems to conjure up the presence of the band of hunters, and my brain, which must be predisposed to seeing faces, sees the face of a crazed hunter taking up most of the middle of that cloud overhead.
Nice work,at three o'clock in the morning, wow!
beautiful !!
Spiritual connection!
Beautiful nigth
There are just so many words to describe these photographs that are viewed each day. Today's one has me looking for more than I have in words, to say what I want! Not only is it a wonderful picture, but it is too, a look into the ancient past to 'words' they had etched in many places that we find today. Thanks, so much. j.e.s.
That is amazing. Where was this picture taken?
Beautiful photo, but why not tell us where it was taken? It looks like the Red Rock canyon just outside of Las Vegas. What difference does it make? I would think there would be quite a difference in ambient light and the sky and stars between Las Vegas and Zion Canyon, for instance. Just a tech question.
it is awesome..
this orange color,this sky :)
Excellent shot with intensive ideology.
inspired me:)
wow.... excellent shot..... love it.... regards.... :)Sri
Yes an awesome photo!
Beyond beautiful...thank you
Nice shot . What is the height of this Petroglyph, by chance ?
Great photography. great moment captured for posterity. the colors are lush. but looking at the photo, we feel calml and an immense inner peace. The world is indeed a wonderful place with beautiful landscapes in their space. Makes me want to look back and to look for serenity and calm and lucidity that conveys.
Fantástica foto!!!
The stars and the vaporous appearance of the clouds help me feel transported back through the eons. it is not just esthetic; it evokes my since of the eternal.
awesome shot. Perfect balance with nature.
How old is artistic intervention?
"Imagine if we could speak to the earliest Americans," I agree, it like communicating with the profound.
Beautiful, Joseph. I think I've seen it in different light- Petroglyph State Park?
Joseph Thomas — 'Petroglyphs': This photogaph demonstrates the use of 'layers' of interest to grasp the viewers' attention. In historical and cultural context we think about the American west. Photograhically we appreciate the technologies at play; stone art; nightsky; lighting effects. —GaryConn
Perfect photograph, waiting for a right moment, that awesome picture, nice jobs
This is a fantastic photograph! It is perfect. Color, texture, beautiful lighting and it tells a story of the present and the past. Marvelous, I love it!
Amazing photo!
I spend a lot of time in Utah hiking as it is so beautiful and has many petroglyph's I would like to thank you for encouraging me to go get a great shot like this one!
Thanks and keep up the great work of art!
The Jurasic stone have 150 mil,years _ Prehystoric homes discovered 1500-1000 B.C._ ( in Colorado )_ So the petroglyps is old may be 3500-3000 years may be ...

6 Mysterious Deaths That'll Make You Believe in Conspiracies
Disclaimer for any government officials, mobsters, or assassins in general reading this: We don't really believe that any of the following conspiracy theories about mysterious deaths are true, disturbingly compelling though they may be. We're only funning around here. With that out of the way, here's some shady shit that definitely went down:
#6. British Spy "Locked Himself" in a Sports Bag ... from the Outside
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Gareth Williams was a code-breaker for MI6, the same British spy agency that funds James Bond's martinis and syphilis shots. He collaborated with the NSA to help thwart planned terrorist attacks in Berlin, Paris, and London. Obviously, with a job like that, an early death isn't completely unexpected. What was unexpected was where Williams turned up dead:
Via The Telegraph
Pictured: Gareth Williams. Also some socks and a tennis racket, probably.
In August 2010, only a week before Williams was due to be transferred to another agency, his body was found zipped inside a red North Face sports bag that had been locked from the outside. As in, literally locked with a small padlock, like this one. Because that wasn't weird enough, the bag had also been placed in Williams' bathtub. At first, authorities claimed that someone else would have to have been present for this to be possible, because duh ... but then in November 2013, they changed their mind, saying he probably did it himself. Somehow.
Erik Snyder/Photodisc/Getty Images
"It's pretty obvious," said the police captain, from his brand-new gold-covered yacht.
Is it even possible to bag and lock yourself like that? After 300 failed attempts to replicate such a feat, experts told the cops that it is in theory, but not without leaving some trace of DNA on the lock or on the bathtub. Which Williams didn't. In fact, there was barely any DNA evidence in Williams' apartment at all, leaving us with two options: A) he used Jedi and/or Harry Potter powers to move things without touching them, or B) someone gave the place a science-proof scrub.
Meanwhile, the police pointed out that Williams reportedly owned women's clothes and "visited bondage websites," implying that this was some weird sex thing. In that case, wouldn't there be DNA everywhere?
PA, via Independent.IE
"Looks like he subscribed to the LockingYourselfInDuffelBags subreddit. Case closed."
Add to this how Williams was unhappy at work and had been talking about quitting MI6, and that his bosses took a week to report his disappearance (which conveniently made it harder to determine his cause of death), and yeah, a paranoid person could think that instead of giving him a retirement package, they decided to turn him into one. Good thing American agencies would never pull any shit like that, huh?
#5. Frank Olson "Jumped" to His Death After the CIA Gave Him LSD
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Practical jokes are the lifeblood of the American workplace. Who hasn't hidden a co-worker's stapler, or changed their desktop image to something wacky, or spiked their drink with LSD as part of a mind control experiment? That last one seriously happened to CIA employee Frank Olson, who took the LSD without his knowledge and had a pretty bad trip, meaning he jumped out of a 10th story window.
Via H.P. Albarelli Jr
Coming down is always the worst part.
And that's only the official story. According to Olson's family, the CIA is hiding something even more fucked up.
As we've told you before, the CIA went through a period starting in the '50s during which they thought it would be cool to secretly slip people acid to see what happened. Frank Olson worked for the agency during that time as a bacteriologist and biological warfare scientist -- hard work they rewarded by drugging his ass off. According to the CIA, Olson was unable to deal with the effects of the LSD and committed suicide nine days later in the midst of a nervous breakdown. Again, the government has admitted all of this happened -- Gerald Ford personally apologized to Olson's family for that little workplace mishap.
Associated Press
"Hey, why haven't you touched your sodas?"
But the family ain't buying it. They say that Olson suddenly wanted to leave the CIA after a trip to Europe. He allegedly told people that he witnessed the same deadly biological agents he'd helped develop being used in interrogations that went well beyond the traditional good cop/bad cop techniques. His wife remembers an anguished Olson saying he made "a terrible mistake."
So in one hand the CIA have this scientist who's having second thoughts, and in the other they have this new drug that they're planning to use to delete agents' memories, Men in Black-style. Hmmm. After that, they sent Olson to New York for a psychological evaluation and put this supposedly mentally unbalanced man on a 10th floor with a chaperone ... who was shocked, utterly shocked, when he decided to eject himself through a closed window. The building's operator says she overheard the other agent make a phone call that went like this: "He's gone." "That's too bad."
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
"So ... Chinese for lunch?"
"Eh, I don't trust that MSG they put in it."
If you take away one lesson from this article, let it be this: Never tell anyone you're about to quit your government job. Just move to Uruguay and don't look back.
#4. Karen Silkwood "Crashed Her Car" Right Before Blowing the Whistle on Her Bosses
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
Karen Silkwood was part of a long tradition of employees who "borrow" stuff from their job and take it home -- in her case, plutonium radiation. The good news is that she didn't grow any extra arms or give birth to green babies. The bad news is that she didn't have a chance to, because a week later she died in a car crash.
Via UMKC School of Law
Unfortunately, the dosage of radiation wasn't enough to turn her into She-Hulk.
Man, talk about having bad luck, huh? That or murderous bosses. One of the two.
Silkwood worked at a Kerr-McGee nuclear fuel plant in Oklahoma and had been speaking up about the poor health and safety conditions there. As it turned out, she was on to something. One day, while wrapping up work, she did a routine self-check and tested positive for plutonium contamination. They even found traces of radiation at her home. You know when you look at an old bologna sandwich in the back of your fridge and think, "Ugh, that looks radioactive"? Well, that happened to her in a more literal sense.

"On the plus side, it doubled the half-life of my leftovers."
Naturally, Silkwood thought this was some major bullshit and wanted to go public with it. She contacted David Burnham of the New York Times, gathered some evidence about the extreme negligence of the power plant, and on November 13, 1974, drove out to meet the reporter. And what do you know, that's when she had a car accident so bad, the evidence she was carrying against Kerr-McGee apparently evaporated, because by the time the police discovered her body, it was gone.
Quaaludes were found in Silkwood's car, and twice the recommended dosage in her blood, which is enough to transform full-grown adults into drooling babies. However, as you all know, when you throw a drooling baby into a wall or out of a window, they tend to land floppily, and as a result incur less damage to their bodies. Silkwood's injuries, on the other hand, had all the signs of someone who was very alert and tense upon impact. Also, her bumper had evidence of rubber and dents, almost as if someone had rammed her off the road. Or exactly as if someone had rammed her off the road.
The Romero Institute
*Rhetorical question.
Kerr-McGee's involvement in the "accident" was never proven, but at least they ended up paying $1.38 million to Silkwood's family for the "getting poisoned" thing, and Silkwood was portrayed by Meryl Streep in a major motion picture. We're pretty sure she'd rather be alive than famous, but still, that's something.

I understand it is fairly easy to add a signature to the standard iPhone mail app. However, I am now using the Gmail app on my iPhone 4S, and I can't seem to figure out how to append a signature to mail sent only through the phone. Is this possible?
This will now also apply to mail sent via the Gmail app.
Theres an update to the gmail app that allows you to do the same thing but from within the app. Show the menu by clicking the icon in the upper left of the screen and you'll see a gear wheel. Tap that and you can set your mobile signature in there.
I does - but it only appends emails after the entire loop rather than the current email, which is something to be fixed yet

Microsoft Office 2010 knows there are Word-based macro viruses out there. It's so protective, in fact, it can be a bit annoying when you're trying to open Outlook attachments from co-workers. Tech blogger Amit Agarwal explains how to disable Word's "Protected View."
Microsoft Office 2010 includes a new "Protected View" that, by default, will open all Outlook attachments and documents downloaded from the Internet in "read-only" mode.
For instance, if a colleague has sent you a spreadsheet as an email attachment, when you double-click that file, it will only open as a read-only document inside Excel. The same holds true for Word and PowerPoint files as well. In the Protected Mode, you are neither able to edit your documents nor can you send them to the printer.
How to Disable Protected View
You can easily switch from the Protected View to Edit mode with a click but if you would like to permanently turn off that security setting such that all your future email attachments /web documents open in regular mode, here's the required setting.
Launch Microsoft Word, or any of the Office 2010 programs, and go to File –> Options –> Trust Center –> Trust Center Settings.
Click "Protected View" here and deselect the option that says "Enable Protected View for Outlook Attachments." If you get stuck, follow this screencast:

Hi there,
I'm having problem with the look&feel in my app. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the background of the widgets is white, instead of being blue as it should be. I'm using very same widgets in other part of my application and they are displayed correctly. I compared css styles in the same elements using firebug in these two widgets, and it turned out that there are no differences between them. Did anyone came across such behaviour?
2 Nov 2010 2:49 AM #2
There will probably one widget in between that has a white background set. You should try to reproduce this in a small, standalone testcase that impements EntryPoitn and i will tell you which widget it is.
For example a TabPanel makes a white background.
2 Nov 2010 3:21 AM #3
Damn you're fast sven. I will try to track down that widget first, thanks.
2 Nov 2010 8:32 AM #4
Indeed, TabPanel was involved in that behaviour. How would you recommend setting the TabPanel's background the same color as the ContentPanel's background color?
2 Nov 2010 8:34 AM #5
I would make tabpanel background color transparent with css. Another approach would be to simple set the correct background color to your tabpanel.
2 Nov 2010 8:35 AM #6
16 Apr 2013 5:06 AM #7
Define a CSS rule in your own CSS file and overwrite the default rule from gxt-all.css:
.x-tab-panel-body {
background-color: transparent;
7 May 2013 12:11 AM #8
Yeah some time there are lots of problem of this type in an application. Because freeware thing may not be long lasting. So We have to contact to google. Definately there is a solution of it.

Usually when I require light inside the tent I just prop a torch (flashlight) up somewhere, if it's bright enough then up at the roof of the tent the reflected light gives a nice ambient glow. Has anyone got a preferred / better way of doing this? I'm curious both in terms of utilising existing common equipment, such as torches, and in terms of any new or unusual lights that might be used specifically for this purpose (or others of course.)
My own preferred method is to use a UCO candle lantern attached to the loop in the ceiling, it generates light that radiates outward, and also generates enough heat to make the tent enjoyable when you're settling in for the night.
I combine the above with a headlamp for personal reading.
A trick I've seen recently is to strap your headlamp to a solid water bottle with the light pointed into the base of the bottle. Lay the bottle on the side and you have a substitute for a lantern. The plastic and some water act as a poor-man's diffuser.
When I was younger, I had a flashlight where the cone part pulled out and it became essentially a lantern. I would tie it to the top of the tent (most tents I used had a hook there), and that provided good light throughout the tent. Lacking that, if you have a Maglight (or, I'm sure, many other brands), you can screw the cone off that for essentially the same effect, though you'll have a bright spot and you can/should really only do this with one of the smaller, lighter ones. Beyond that, your method does sound reasonable.
My tent (REI Quarterdome) has mesh pockets on the ceiling – I find stuffing a headlamp up there is a reasonable space lighting solution.
Our smaller tent is a dome, the top has a smaller mesh square that clips inside it. I put one of those puck style led stickup lights in it for a light.
Our bigger tent is a 2 room tent that we never use the divider in. I use the clip that's supposed to hold the divider to hold either a head light or one of the smaller battery lanterns.
A clear gallon water jug with either a stickup light or a headlight under it throws a lot of light. So does a zip lock bag full of water but that can get messy.
Some of the Mammut headlamps can be fitted with an optional diffuser for ambient lighting. Haven't tried it, but it looks like it could be a neat solution.

The EPA plans to reduce the volume of renewable fuel that refiners must blend into the US gasoline supply, a move that could shrink markets for ethanol and other products.
By RYAN TRACY
WASHINGTON -- The Environmental Protection Agency said
Tuesday it will propose cutting next year's federal mandate for
using alternative motor fuel, a reversal that comes as Congress
heightens scrutiny of the program.
The agency said it would seek to reduce the amount of
"renewable" fuel that the oil industry must blend into the US
gasoline supply, a move that could shrink the market for
ethanol and other products.
A 2007 law calls for the US to consume ever-rising amounts
of renewable fuel, mainly corn ethanol made in the US. But the
agency acknowledged Tuesday that the US is approaching a "blend
wall" -- the point at which the market can't absorb any more
ethanol without using new types of fuels that aren't widely
"It's a significant development for the EPA to overtly state
that it intends to be flexible," said Jason Bordoff, director
of Columbia University's center on global energy policy. Mr. Bordoff has called for
the agency to reduce the renewable-fuel requirement, saying
that not doing so could cause an increase in gasoline
The EPA announcement came as part of the rollout of the
final requirement for 2013, which will remain unchanged at
16.55 billion gallons of ethanol and other fuels, up more
than 1 billion gallons from the previous year.
The lion's share of that mandate -- about 13.8 billion
gallons -- is expected to be met with ethanol from Midwestern
corn, with ethanol made from Brazilian sugarcane, diesel-motor
fuel made from soybeans and other fuels making up the rest.
The 2013 mandate puts government-required ethanol
consumption at close to 10% of the US gasoline supply. Most
gasoline today contains no more than 10% ethanol.
Next year, the mandate is set to rise again, but US gasoline
consumption is expected to be flat as Americans continue to
drive more fuel-efficient cars. "EPA does not currently foresee
a scenario in which the market could consume enough ethanol" to
meet the 2014 requirements outlined in the law, the EPA said in
a fact sheet released Tuesday.
"The administration now acknowledges the blend wall as real
and unavoidable," said Stephen Brown, vice president for
federal government affairs at Tesoro. "A clear signal is also
being sent to Congress that additional authority to address the
blend wall may be needed via legislation."
Reps. Fred Upton and Henry Waxman, the top Republican and
Democrat, respectively, on the House Energy and Commerce
Committee, have said they are discussing possible changes to
the renewable-fuel law.
The ethanol industry has said major changes aren't necessary
because refiners can switch to higher ethanol blends, which so
far are not being sold widely even though the EPA says they are
safe for new vehicles.
Having the EPA tweak the requirements to provide flexibility
"is exactly how the program was designed to work," said Brooke
Coleman, executive director of the Advanced Ethanol Council, which represents
developers of alternative fuels. "There are no problems with
the program on the horizon that can't be fixed

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?
Too soon to tell

I constructed a matrix of focal lengths by the number of vertical and horizontal detents necessary to calculate the number of horizontal and vertical shots in a virtual FOV. For example, I want to know the number of shots for a mosaic of 120 degrees (wide) by 90 degrees (high) for a given camera/sensor and lens. However, the calculation assumed that I could preview the focal length of a lens in the camera display. Unfortunately I donÄôt think that's possible with a Canon 40D, which is what I'm using. Is there anyway to display the focal length in the preview?
Thanks in advance.

Part 6: Renew Your DashpadWritten by on November 1, 2002 Give your used and abused dashpad a facelift
The dashpad in project Valiant Effort was irreparable, or so we thought. After searching the Internet and swap meets, we realized a correct dashpad for the Valiant was not going to come easy. The pieces we did find were starting to crack, or they already had small cracks forming. We called Just Dashes in Van Nuys, California, since it would be foolish to pay for a marginal quality dash when Just Dashes can supply a good-as-new unit. And even if your dashpad is severely cracked or the metal frame is rusty, Just Dashes can bring it back to the correct factory original look.
The cause of "dashpad crack" is aging open-cell foam and the dissimilar expansion and contraction rates of the factory vinyl. The foam can expand more than the vinyl, and that can initiate cracking. To correct this, Just Dashes removes the worn and/or damaged open-cell foam and vinyl and replaces it with improved high-density closed-cell foam, which meets all the correct contours and dimensions. The pad is then covered with the correct grain vinyl that is a higher quality than OE. Through a process called Thermo Vacuum Forming, the vinyl is heated to become pliable and "sucked" over the dash contours. The vinyl is then cooled to set the shape of the dash. This is the same process used by the original manufacturer, and ensures a correct-looking, quality dash. It will withstand decades of harsh sun and heat, and will not crack. The reason is that the new closed-cell foam expands and contracts at the same rate as the new vinyl, which is formulated with modern UV inhibitors. It's a time consuming process because much of the work is done by hand, yet each piece is given the same attention to detail, be it for a Hemi 'Cuda or a Valiant.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
2. When all the factory vinyl and foam is removed, the process of recovering the metal framework begins. Once the closed-cell foam is adhered to the framework, it is hand-formed to the correct dimensions.3. Once the final forming of the foam is complete, it is covered with an adhesive to ensure the vinyl stays in place.4. After the dash foam has been covered in adhesive, it is placed on the vacuum table and all edges of the dash are supported with blocks of wood and cloth. If the dash is not properly supported, the vacuum will pull the vinyl in the wrong locations and tear it.5. The new vinyl is then placed into a framework that surrounds the vacuum table. While in the framework, the vinyl is put into an oven and heated to 475 degrees for approximately three minutes.6. (A) The whole vacuum process takes only a few seconds. The vinyl-filled framework is lowered over the pieces to be covered and the vacuum forms the vinyl over the dash.6. (B) When the vinyl is formed, water is sprayed on the dash to cool the vinyl so it will hold its shape once the vacuum is turned off. You can also see our Valiant's armrests being recovered at the same time. (arrow)
8. Once the vinyl is applied to the dash framework, it is dyed to the factory color. It is best to supply a color sample so Just Dashes can guarantee the color is correct for your application.9. The finished product is a quality restoration using better-than-new materials--giving your dash a second lease on life.10. When you hear Just Dashes, don't think they only do dashpads. Door panels can also be restored for a multitude of applications.11. Another service available at Just Dashes is plastic interiorpanel repair. Some cars built in the early '70s used hard plasticpanels. Just Dashes can repair broken tabs, cracks, and even convertyour door panels from manual crank to power switch.

RIO GRANDE CITY (November 22, 2012)--Authorities in Starr County are searching for a Waco man who disappeared more than a month ago after visiting relatives in Alto Bonito.
Edward "E.J." Garcia, Jr., was last seen on Sept. 26 in Alto Bonito after he visited relatives in the small town about 11 miles east of Rio Grande City.
Garcia, 22, is a specialist in the Texas Army National Guard, assigned to the 236th MP Battalion based in San Antonio, but he has not reported to his last two monthly drills.
Relatives locally told News 10 Garcia left the area with about $180 in his pocket and no change of clothing.
Starr County Sheriff's Investigator Osdy Luna said Garcia is 5-feet, 6-inches tall, weighs 145 to 150 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and black gym shorts.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to call local law enforcement or the Starr County Sheriff's Office at (956) 487-5571.
