Mexican Fiesta Dip Mix (In a Jar)
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 2 hrs
Another great mix that makes life easier (see also "my" Hot Mexican Rub Hot Mexican Rub). I included this as part of a gift basket for my friend and of course I had to try it before giving it away. Too bad I din't read the whole recipe before making it. When not only the mix but also the dip was finished, I realised it should go in the fridge for two hours or so. I couldn't wait that long and ate it immediately. Loved it and prepared a second batch. This time I had some leftovers and I put it in the fridge. The next day it tasted even better! Yes, chilling does improve the dip! As I wanted to prepare the dip just for myself, I mixed 2 tablespoons sour cream with 2 tabelspoons low fat mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons Mexican Fiesta Dip Mix. I am considering to prepare the next batch without the dry herbs but add fresh herbs to the mix when preparing the dip. I love fresh herbs and I grow so many on my balcony. When typing this recipe I realised that I forgot to add the salt into my mix. I didn't even miss it! That's why I wrote optional next to the salt. Serve this dip with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
Ingredients Nutrition
Mexican Fiesta Dip Mix
- 1⁄2 cup dried parsley
- 1⁄3 cup dried onion, minced
- 1⁄4 cup dried chives
- 1⁄3 cup chili powder
- 1⁄4 cup ground cumin
- 1⁄4 cup salt (optional)
For the Mexican Fiesta Dip
- 1 cup mayonnaise or 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream or 1 cup low-fat yogurt
- In a large bowl, combine the spices and store in an airtight container.
- Attach this to the jar: Mexican Fiesta Dip. Makes two cups. In a medium mixing bowl combine 3 tablespoons of the Dip Mix with the mayonnaise and sour cream. Whisk the mixture until smooth. (Check if you want to add more of the Dip Mix or more mayo/sour cream.).
- Refrigerate for 2-4 hours or overnight (best).
- If you do this at home and you have some fresh herbs around then add some. I like to add fresh chives, parsley or coriander.
- Serve with tortilla chips (works best!)or fresh vegetables.

I made this mix and put into small ziplock bags I found in the jewelry making section of Hobby Lobby. I added a small label w/directions on how to make the dip and will give in gift baskets. I made it for a Christmas party. My only complaint was it was too salty. So I will make another batch with 1/2 of the salt. I served w/chips and vegetables.
When I was young, there was a barbeque dip mix I loved from Guy's Foods. It's no longer made, so I've been hunting for a recipe. By cutting the salt in half and adding a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar to this recipe, I finally have the BBQ dip mix I've been missing. I'm sure I'll enjoy making other fun modifications in the future. Thanks for the recipe.
I made this dip for a fiesta mexican dinner for company I had..It was a hit with everyone..I have made it twice since..I make the dip and layer it in a oblong dish with mexican cheese on top with fine shredded lettuce next,diced tomatoes next and sliced black olives served with warm corn tortilla chips...Will be a regular our mexican nights..Thank U for this recipe. No longer do I have to buy deli fiesta dip, this one is so much better also...

I did a start_job=skip_current on a large import because I thought it was hanging on some bad data. It turns out it was just a really large index so I'd like to re-run it but I don't want to do the entire import again. I know I can have it skip tables that are already there using the table_exists_action parameter, but does that apply to other objects, like indexes? If not, is there any way to just import the items I skipped?
extract the SQL (sqlfile=xxxx) and create the index(es) by hand ?
If you know what index is missing, Datapump supports an "include=" parameter that should allow you to import just this one object.

I stayed the night in room 1935. The following evening when I came back to my room and placed my belongings down, I noticed a bug on top of the bed. I looked up pictures of bed bugs, and the appearance of this bug matched. I called guest services- they said they did not have housekeeping staff on duty but sent up an engineer instead. He brought me keys to a different room.
I have a picture of the bug if you would like me to send it to you.

Historical Traveler Reviews Denver Marriott City Center
Great sleep and nice work out facilites
My teenage son, husband, and I stayed one night at the hotel to enjoy a night in the city. The Marriot was close to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and other attractions. A light rail stop is across the street-perfect for a ride to the famous Buckhorn Exchange.
The beds were great! Bedding included comforters, layers of sheets, and a downlike mattress pad. No scratchy sheets or bedspreads.
We took advantage of the gym. There is an aerobic room with treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, and a rowing machine. Each machine had a TV and head phones. There are weight machines and free weights in a carpeted area next to the pool. No extra fees for working out. Even had free fruit!
Nice weekend
went to denver for the weekend of 10-12 dec 05. this is a great hotel. definately first class all the way. rooms were somewhat small but for 2 people it is ok. the lobby you could eat off of. the only thing i did not care for was the valae parking. 20 bucks a day on the weekend. not really a problem until you check out on a sunday and have to wait 30 minutes for them to get your car. we just sat at the starbucks and waited. had a great time at the broncos game. downtown area is really nice and pretty with the christmas lights.
Great Location & Staff!
Great Staff sets this hotel apart! From the time of check in to check out the staff were everywhere and attentive to every need. The club lounge was well stocked, large, and a friendly place to be around. They have board games which is a nice change when you're on the road. The hotel is an easy walk to the 16th Street foot mall and only 10 minutes to the Convention Center. Only have valet parking at $24.
Nice Hotel & Location
Stayed at the Marriott for a conference. Had a great view from the 19th floor. Location is outstanding with only a few minute walk to the pedestrian mall, baseball stadium and convention center. Trolley stop right out front. Concierge was helpful, maid service decent. All parking is valet, but they always had the car ready when we called a few minutes ahead for it. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Denver.
Fine hotel
Stayed there last night on the 14th floor. Everything fine ... friendly staff ... very nice room service deliveryperson ... no issues.
Tiny, Tiny Rooms
We are from a Denver suburb and my daughter and I decided to go towntown one weekend and do Christmas shopping and other fun downtown things. The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our chief complaint is the rooms. It worked okay for the two of us, although it was tight, and would probably be perfect for a solo business traveler. But families beware: don't even try to get the entire family into one room. The beds were nearly touching the walls and there wasn't much room between all of the furniture. The bathrooms were ridicukous. You could only get to the toilet by closing the door and forget trying to pack two people into the bathroom to get ready, there was barely enough room for one person to stand in front of the mirror. Our room didn't have any spectacular views, we were on the top floor and all we could see was another highrise. From what I could tell, none of the rooms had views other than parking lots or other highrises. The hotel is in a prime location, though. It is right in the middle of all of the central business district, two blocks from the shopping/dining strip, and a short lightrail ride away from the performing arts complex. It is easy to get to from both of the main highways, I-70 and I-25, and probably only about 20 minutes from the airport. Valet parking is $20 a night on weekends, but I think it is more on weekdays. There isn't really anywhere else to park, though, so you're pretty much stuck with the valet guys. The fitness center and the pool were great- all of the exercise machines had their own TV and there was an attendant right there to assist you if you needed anything. We didn't eat at any of the restaurants in the hotel, but there is a Starbucks in the lobby which was great, although they are only open until 1:00 every day. Overall, it was a nice hotel and would be good for couples or business travelers, but I would caution families and groups of friends to get more than one room if they plan on staying there!
Never Again
I was in Denver on a business trip July 2004 and stayed at this hotel.Arrived at the lobby around 1pm after a long exhausting flight and could not check in since the guests had not yet checked out.Never got a room until 3:30 pm and the front desk staff could say no more than the guests have not yet checked out, so I had to wait.This room was prepaid , and eventually when I did get my room it was not worth the money.There was nothing special in the room for the price paid.The exercise room was nice , location great but that was it.I was happy when my conference was over and I was able to leave.I just did not feel like my business was appreciated.
Our trip to Denver was a Christmas present for my three children. When I made the reservation, I told the reservationist that we had chosen to stay in Denver this holiday instead of going skiing, and that this was a gift for my three children ages 14, 14 and 10 - young adults. I requested a room on the highest level possible, and she told me that the views would be great facing any direction on the higher level. The kids were so excited. We checked in the day after Christmas and were given keys on the 4th floor. We told them that we were supposed to be on a high floor - we were then told by the staff that there were NO rooms on a higher floor - end of conversation. So to add insult to injury, while we are trying to decide if we even want to stay, the bellhop asks us which car is ours, and we point to our van, and without waiting for us, he runs outside, opens our trunk, and all our luggage other items fall out onto the ground. We run out, hoping that nothing is broken, and he starts throwing everything onto the cart, and he doesn't even apologize. Our kids are still sitting inside the car with horrified looks on their faces! We get to the room, the smallest room we've ever stayed in, and the bellhop continues to throw our luggage all around the room. I couldn't wait for him to leave, so I could check my suitcase to see if anything was broken. On the positive side, pool area/workout room is very nice, breakfast is excellent, but you have to wait in line for the made-to-order omelettes, and the line blocks all of the other hot chafing dish items. The bar area is very, very nice and there is a Starbucks on the premises - but they closed too early 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday in December??? We actually RAN OUT of toilet paper, and I called the front desk and they said they would bring it right up - they never came. I had to send my children downstairs to use the bathrooms in the pool area??? It is tastefully decorated, but the room could have been cleaner - there were hairs in the tub, and fingerprints on the glass table, etc. Coffee maker in the room, but NO cups, cream & sugar, etc. After the toilet paper issue, I didn't even bother calling the front desk to have coffee sent up. I had to hunt down a house keeping cart for coffee supplies. When housekeeping came and cleaned, AGAIN no coffee supplies. (they must keep the coffee supplies with the toilet paper or they are trying to save money) I had to go on three different floors this time to find a housekeeping cart to get our coffee supplies from the maid! We had a parking package rate, but when we received our bill, they charged us AGAIN for parking. They did apologize and tell us that their computer automatically charges for parking even if you get the parking package. So I'm wondering how many unsuspecting guests have been charged twice for parking and didn't realize it. Probably a great place to stay for a convention, but we got the feeling that our "family" wasn't really welcome at this Denver, Marriott. Next time, we'll stick to skiing!!!
The Marriott City Center is a hotel we will definately be returning to !!
Our first stay at this hotel was in November of 2002 , the staff was wonderful, the rooms were far better than we expected and the service we recieved while we were there was increddible. We have stayed there every time we've gone back to Denver. We would definately reccomend this hotel if you are just going for a weekend at six flags or romantic getaway, or even for a buissness trip. They have all the ammenities that you would look for in a hotel of it's class. The other thing that makes this hotel so appealing is that it is affordable too!! They also allow your pets along which is a very big plus since we own a dog and he travels with us everywhere. it is akso very kid friendly with an indoor pool sauna,hot tub and also has movie options!! So for anyone looking for a place that they just want to get away i would definately reccomend this hotel!!!!
Customer Friendly Marriott
I just returned from a convention at the Marriott. The hotel could not have been more accommodating. The restaurant offers a great breakfast buffet (and other meals); the bar has lots of seating and prompt, friendly service; and the entire staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms are comfortable and clean and well serviced. This is a hotel that does everything to please its customers. And for our convention (500 people) the facilities were outstanding. Our group has an annual convention, each year in a different city, and this hotel was truly one of the best we have experienced.

"It will be intriguing to log Polinar's musical journey from here after already successfully shooting for the stars this early on, but it can be safely assumed that it will be an absolutely fantastic evolution to be held. A singer/songwriter-type like Melissa Polinar doesn't come around very often, and when they do, it's a very special thing."
"Melissa Polinar's ability to tell a story through her work is unprecedented, and as aforementioned, really takes listeners on a beautiful adventure through one's life journey. 'Calls & Echoes' is an album that is altogether hopeful and cautious, hushed and stentorian, solemn and fun-loving, and consequential and spontaneous in a way that all of its themes masterfully come together under a common motif of taking life head-on and learning to love it for all of its imperfections."
"...she has become a popular performer on the local (Los Angeles) music scene, and a sought-after writing partner for many of Los Angeles' premier artists. Her recent release Calls & Echoes has received rave reviews from both critics and fans alike."
"With a mighty voice and the ability to write incredible tunes, this lady will soon be known throughout the industry."
"She masters a mix of her own original songs and covers (on YouTube) of various artists with an equally unpolished and honest nerve."
"...the young woman not only sang the song well technically, but had vocal inflections that showed me she really understood the song."
"Performing is something Polinar does with ease. The songbird has a beautiful soothing voice that mixes well with her skilled acoustic guitar playing... Polinar is like a rare jewel, like an antique Victrola - full of beauty, full of passion, and full of songs yet to be written."
"Polinar channels the soulfulness of Tracy Chapman and the folkie punch of Stevie Nicks while intermittently tapping on her guitar to keep rhythm...Polinar's vast musical collage makes it nearly impossible to ascribe her sound to any particular genre."
"Melissa Polinar has the hottest voice and the coolest musicality, like that of a John Mayer or James Taylor. Top that off with a killer smile and charisma...you've got one captivating artist!"
"...with fine-tuned perfect pitch, sprinkles her songs with soulful guitar progressions and powerful vocals. Her melodies are refreshingly innovative, while her playing and voice, some would say, equate that of a female John Mayer."
"Melissa Polinar is easily one of my favorite songwriters. Her voice and melodies can make me fall in love and break my heart in a single phrase. When sitting down to write, I often ask myself. What would Melissa do?"

WIMBLEDON, England -- As she walked off Wimbledon's Centre Court last year after a semifinal loss to Maria Sharapova, Lindsay Davenport took a brief second to look around and soak in the atmosphere.
In her mind, this was probably it. The last time she'd compete in the Championships. The last time she'd stand on this court.
"I remember crying a little bit thinking, 'Oh, I might not be playing here again," Davenport said. "I was just losing that inner fire that you need to always be at the top."
But a funny thing happened when Davenport began playing out the 2004 season: she started winning -- a lot. Davenport won 27 of 28 matches after Wimbledon, including a span of five singles titles. On Oct. 18, she regained the No. 1 ranking in the world 144 weeks after relinquishing it.
Now, a year after she told reporters she planned to retire, a year after she said goodbye to Wimbledon, the woman's top seed has quietly cruised to the Round of 16, where Belgium's Kim Clijsters awaits Monday with a ticket to the quarterfinals on the line.
"I never would have expected how things turned out. Never would have dreamt that," Davenport said. "I feel like I'm kind of on borrowed time. But it's hard to walk away when you feel like you could achieve the ultimate goal in tennis."
To do that, she'll have to get by Clijsters, to whom Davenport had lost in six straight matches before defeating her in the French Open earlier this month. The two have met 16 times in Davenport's career, with Clijsters holding a 9-7 advantage.
"I'm definitely looking forward to it," said Clijsters, the 15th seed on the ladies side of the draw. "After Paris, this is something that definitely motivates me."
The only time they met on grass, here at Wimbledon in 2001, Davenport sailed to a 6-1, 6-2 victory.
"Hopefully the grass gives me an advantage," Davenport said. "But I don't know -- she's a tough player."
It was at this same point last year that Davenport had her personal meltdown. Earlier this spring, Davenport told the Palm Beach Post that the morning of last year's Round of 16 match with Russia's Vera Zvonareva, she called her husband back in California and told him she had enough.
"I woke him up at three or four in the morning," she told the paper. "I just remember crying and saying I'm not enjoying this anymore."
But her husband was able to calm her down and Davenport was able to reach the semifinals before losing to Sharapova. Yet afterwards, she told reporters she thought this was it.
"I'd be surprised if I was back," she said at the time.
Now she's one of the favorites. Yet despite being the No. 1 ranked woman in the world, as well as the top seed in this tournament, Davenport has played Wimbledon's this first week in relative obscurity. The rest of the tennis world has its eyes set on the glamorous Sharapova or the always-entertaining Williams sisters, while the unassuming Davenport has dominated, winning 36 of the 44 games she's played.
The lack of attention suits the California native just fine. When asked this week if she felt she receives enough respect from the American press, considering her 47 career singles titles, her 667-175 record and her over $19 million in prize money, Davenport's response was as simple as her plain gray tennis outfit: "Yes."
Although nobody likes to look too far down the draw, should Davenport get by Clijsters and then likely defeat Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarters and Amelie Mauresmo in the semifinals, a potential rematch with Sharapova -- in the Wimbledon finals -- awaits.
It would be an incredible contrast of styles: Sharapova, the teenage blonde diva, with gold earrings, gold shoes and a gold barrette on one side of the net, Davenport, the confident, hate-the-spotlight veteran with deep brown hair and dark brown eyes on the other.
Just getting to the finals would be an accomplishment, not only because Davenport nearly retired a year ago, but because, for the first time in two years, a Grand Slam includes all five of the world's top-ranked women. That doesn't include Clijsters, ranked 13th, or Venus Williams, 16th. Both are capable of beating any one on any day.
"Everybody is here. Everybody is hungry again," Clijsters said. "That just makes it more interesting."
Davenport hasn't won a Grand Slam title since the 2000 Australian Open, but this year made it to the finals at Melbourne, where she lost to Serena Williams. No matter what happens this week, her confidence has ultimately been restored. And should Davenport stay healthy, there is already talk about her returning to SW19 next year.
"If I'm playing well and healthy, I really think I'll be back," Davenport said. "There's no reason why I won't."

I read about just as many pin-backing-out problems as I do about loose screws. Lucky day for you that the screw fell into the holster. A bit of the silver lining at work.
This is a discussion on I got a screw loose within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Yesterday I had a little bit of free time because a soccer game got rained out, so I decided to get in a little bit ...
Yesterday I had a little bit of free time because a soccer game got rained out, so I decided to get in a little bit of shooting. I was pocket carrying my Taurus 605 and was going to shoot my normal 25 round drill.
I normally carry 2 speedloaders and 2 speed strips plus the 5 rounds in the gun. I fire the five rounds do a fast reload with a speedloader, fire 2-3 rounds and then do a tacitcal reload with a speed strip. I reholster and do this again.
The second time I draw and fire the first 5 rounds and when I go to reload my cylinder falls off and hits the ground. After a brief pause to let what happen sink in, I picked up the cylinder and examined it and my pistol. The yoke screw had backed out and this allowed the cylinder the fall off. Since it was dark in a misting rain and I was shooting in my back field, I didn't even bother to look for the little tiny yoke screw in the tall grass and just resigned myself to placing an order with Numrich.
Now before you start bashing Taurus I have owned this pistol for 12 years and it has had a steady diet of at least 25 rounds (of .357 or .38+P) a month for those 12 years. About 10 years ago while I was shooting 158gr Hydrashoks out of it the thumb piece screw worked loose. I applied some locktite to it and have never had a problem.
Last night I was shooting some handloaded .357's 110gr JHP (Winchester) with 7.2 gr of RedDot. Even though this is a mild load for the .357 (I can get back on target with it fast) apparently it caused the yoke screw to back out.
Well I packed up and headed back to the house feeling sorry for myself and when I pulled my pocket holster out of my pocket lo and behold the little yoke screw was in it. I cleaned my pistol applied some locktite and tried it out just to make sure that everything worked, it did.
I have confirmed my preference for pins over screws and learned that my revolver will still fire without the yoke screw, it just makes reloading a bit of a challenge.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I read about just as many pin-backing-out problems as I do about loose screws. Lucky day for you that the screw fell into the holster. A bit of the silver lining at work.

Product Description:
Viking longships evolved from one-man canoes of the Scandinavian Stone Age, through wood-built-ships of c. 200 BC into the recognisable longboats of the 4th century AD. From this point, the Viking Longship developed into the pre-eminent raider and trader in the North Sea and Baltic, venturing as far afield as the Mediterranean, North Atlantic and modern-day Russia. Keith Durham uses reconstructions, original sources, translations and archaeological evidence to render a vivid picture of the vessels that dominated the seaways of Scandinavia, founded colonies on Iceland, Greenland and the New World and terrorised the coastlines of northern Europe. Also covered are Norman vessels, including the invasion fleet of William the Conqueror.

Hi! once again, thanks for your plugin.
I have 3 columns (left sidebar, center column, right sidebar). I would like to maximise the width in the center column.
Under "set content max-width", I put 558 as I realise this is the max width for my center column. This removed the space between my left sidebar and my center sidebar (which is what i want).
Problem is, there is still a lot of space in between the right side bar and the center sidebar. How do I decrease the white space / padding between the right side bar and the center sidebar?
thank you

Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
by Beyoncé
Video & Audio
The official, super-acclaimed music video. Is it worth all the hype? You decide.
Beyoncé with leotard-clad Justin Timberlake, famously parodying the "Single Ladies" video on Saturday Night Live. Although JT surely could do the dance moves, he refrains from really going there for the sake of the joke.
View a now-famous 13-month-old dancing to Single Ladies—and then join the blogosphere debate about whether the Single Ladies dance (and some of the associated outfits) are appropriate for children.
The sound isn't great on this live performance of "Single Ladies", but the video gives us a great view of Beyoncé's all-girl band rocking out to the song.
A 100-person "Single Ladies" flash dance in the middle of Picadilly Circus appears spontaneous—turns out, it's a clever form of advertising for a big gum company.
An acoustic cover of "Single Ladies" puts a totally different twist on the music, and the message.
Short interview with Beyoncé that touches on Sasha Fierce, her shyness as a kid, and her famous quietness about her relationship with Jay-Z.
The latest video from Beyoncé, co-directed by the singer herself, is full of 1960s throwbacks and clever film references—but can anyone figure out what they are?

The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Or so we hear from a few Cougar fans

Maybe we need to take stock for a moment and remember that Lance Reynolds was an O Lineman as a player, yet coached Harvey Unga pretty well - or the running-back-by-committee from last year. As has already been pointed out, Mike Leach never played a down of college football, and made Texas Tech a power. Some people are just good coaches and teachers. Whether they were excellent players is a whole different matter.

You make some awfully broad, sweeping statements. whether or not a school is attractive kinda depends on the student-athlete, don't you think?
As for Langi, why the cheap shots? Who gave you the information that he chose Utah becaue there's no "real" competition? Or that BYU pulled his scholarship offer? If in fact that were true, it's rather strange, because Langi is exactly the kind of back they need. If they're pulling offers to four star kids, that says more about them than him. Certainly BYU has gotten kids that Utah wanted in the past; can't the reverse be true in this case?
As for Dupaix the research suggests a limited resume, but a good guy and a players' coach. Whether or not it's a smart hire for BYU will really depend upon what they're gonna use him for, wouldn't you think?

@Osgrath et al,
The sky HAS fallen. We played UTEP in Albuquerque last month and were listed by SI as one of the top 10 teams making a U-turn for the worse. When was the last time we played and won a BCS bowl? How did Utah, BSU and TCU do it with their talent and coaches? I'm just trying to be provocative here and say maybe we should demand more out of our football program than we're getting. I see more of the same old thing. Since when does asking more make one a pariah?

BYU pulled the scholarship offer because Langi's lifestyle didn't seem to match the BYU lifestyle. Bronco has repeated himself many times that he only wants players that are a good fit for BYU. It's best for both player and school.

Thanks for the input. What you say would explain it, although it doesn't jibe with the assertion that BYU pulled the scholarship offer then suggested he walk on (RaininTime above). I can't find any official source of confirmation for the statement anywhere, so perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing your source. It's an indirect attack on the young man's character and it should be stopped, if it's not factual.

Joe Dupaix is the man! I have personally been to navy's spring practice and
watched him coach he is outstanding. BYU made a great choice; he can coach many
offensive positions and also has more passion for the game than anyone I have
seen in a long time.
It is just to bad he had to end up at a school with so many ignorant fans!

Re: fender
As far as the offer to 'walk on', I'm not sure. I haven't heard that to be true but could be a situation similar to Van Noy's offer.
As far as my statement, it was not an 'indirect' attack on his character. It is simply a factual statement. He was caught doing it and a family member shared the information. Go talk to his family if you feel the need for first hand confirmation.

I agree with your comments however, every school is unfortunate to have some ignorant fans. The silent majority is excited about having Joe Dupaix as a member of the coaching staff.

Perfect for my Thanksgiving Day cards this year. Love the border set to finish the inside of the card too. Scrapbook.com does an awesome job with shipping and offering all things needed for card making and scrapbooking.
These are so cute, can't wait to put them to good use. I'd totally recommend these embossing folders to anyone.
I love this product. After watching Tim's demo I will enjoy using this product.
The seasonal backgrounds seem a bit 'one note' but with some imagination...the sentiments are placed so they can easily be cut apart and used in any number of ways. The picket fence has many different uses and I can't wait to chalk or water color the leaves border!

Reviews for South End Community Outreach Ministries (Secom)
SECOM is a beautiful place. Very rarely does one see a community of like minded people as passionate as they are about doing God's will. One of the directors explained his job to me as "Making Friends". And that's what they do. Despite all of the excellent work they strive for every day, you will not find a more humble set of staff and volunteers.
Nor will you find a group that uses their money more wisely. As a volunteer I saw first hand how very carefully they utilized every resource available to them- there is a strong understanding that the little money they have is to feed the hungry in West Michigan.
I look forward to working with them again soon, and have made this my Nonprofit of choice.

Thanks for releasing such a wonderful plugin for us all. However, I encountered a problem after the latest update, which caused my permalink to go haywire. As my site is mostly in Japanese romaji, usually my Post Title would be "Watashi no Heya". However instead of appearing as "watashi-no-heya" in the permalink structure, the "no" went missing and became "watashi-heya".

Ingredients Nutrition
- Put sugar in gallon size crock, squeeze lemons, save rinds and set aside. Strain juice into crock. Heat 4 cups water to boiling water, pour over rinds and strain into crock immediately. Boil 4 more cups water, steep tea and then strain into crock. Fill crock with remaining 8 cups of water. Stir well. Do not refrigerate until tea has cooled to room temperature.

Sweet Tea with Lemon! What's not to like? The lemon rinds did intensify the lemon flavor, so if you are not a fan of lemons, decrease it. This is like the tea served in restaurants where I grew up in Birmingham, AL. Thanks for sharing! Made for Football Tag,
This was a wonderful iced tea recipe. It didn't state which kind of tea to use, so I used my favorite black tea, which I think was a good choice. And the few extra steps in this recipe made a difference, especially steeping the lemon rinds in boiling water seemed to add a wonderful citrus touch. I did cut the sugar in half though, but that is only because of personal preference (I tend to not like my tea or coffee beverages sweetened). I thought the amount of sugar was just right for me. Thanks for sharing your recipe, SB6. I'll add this to my "keeper" file.
I love love love this new way to make tea! I really think that the boiling water and the lemon rinds adds a little something extra to the flavor! I also used Splenda in place of the sugar due to dietary restrictions and it worked very well! This is a perfect back porch, sunny day with a book, sipping tea! Thanks for posting! We will make this often in the summer months! Made for PAC Spring 2010!

In wireless ad hoc networks, the traditional carrier sensing multiple access/collision avoidance protocol cannot solve the masked node problem, which affects the network performance greatly. Our proposed collision separation technique overcomes the shortcoming of the IEEE 802.11 request-to-send-clear-to-send handshake by combining the space diversity provided by the antenna array and network diversity provided by the medium access control layer. In this work, the colliding packets caused by masked nodes are not discarded but stored and combined with the selected retransmission packets to separate the data from different nodes. The steady states of the nodes in the network are analyzed via a Markov chain model. The network throughput and delay performance are also investigated. Compared to network assisted diversity multiple access, our proposed method can provide significantly higher throughput and lower delay

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The injury-free Chicago Bears are suddenly snake bitten at strong-side linebacker after coach Lovie Smith's announcement Monday that starter Pisa Tinoisamoa underwent arthroscopic surgery, just hours after his replacement, Nick Roach, left the team's win over the Detroit Lions with what the coach called a "hip pointer, back area."
The recent rash of injuries at the position looms as arguably the most pressing concern for the highly-touted defense heading into the week of preparation for its showdown Sunday at Soldier Field against the New England Patriots.
Certainly, the Bears have options. But whatever they are at this point, they aren't disclosing.
"First off, we don't have enough time to get into that strong-side, weak-side argument," Smith said. "But we have two outside linebackers [in Rod Wilson and Brian Iwuh as potential replacements]. They do a lot of the same things."
It's unclear what the Bears plan to do to replace Tinoisamoa. The fluid nature of Roach's situation adds to the uncertainty. He will start against the Patriots if he's healthy enough. Otherwise, the Bears will decide between Wilson and Iwuh, and possibly make tweaks schematically -- such as playing plenty of nickel, like they did against the Lions -- to compensate for the lack of experience at the position.
Roach played approximately 20 snaps against the Lions before leaving early in the second quarter after sustaining the injury, which he characterized after the game as a "minor muscle strain."
"Everything is good," Roach said on Sunday, as he strolled out of the locker room.
But the fact he was unable to return to action Sunday casts some doubt about his availability for this week's game against the Patriots. Wilson replaced Roach in the second quarter, and finished the game with three tackles.
Roach lost out to Tinoisamoa in a bid for the starting job at strong-side linebacker during training camp, when he underwent a minor surgical procedure on his knee, similar to the one done recently on his counterpart. Roach took all of the first-team repetitions before the Detroit game, and started for the first time since Nov. 18, when he replaced Tinoisamoa against the Dolphins.
Middle linebacker Brian Urlacher called the Bears' linebacking corps -- from top to bottom -- the NFL's finest earlier this season, a statement that will be tested in the coming weeks given the injury situation.
"Rod stepped in, did a good job. He made a couple of tackles," Urlacher said after the game. "He hasn't played a lot of Sam [strong-side linebacker] in his career, but he did a good job today. We're gonna need our guys, obviously [coming up]. We keep having guys go down."
A seventh-round pick of the Bears in 2005, Wilson broke his arm in the preseason of 2008, and later spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Jacksonville Jaguars, who released him after the 2010 preseason. Wilson rejoined the Bears on Sept. 15 as a replacement for Hunter Hillenmeyer, who was placed on injured reserve because of recurring issues with concussions.
Interestingly, Wilson -- like Iwuh -- is often described by scouts as a "run-and-hit" type of linebacker with impressive instincts. Wilson has been in the league longer, but Iwuh has more playing experience.
Despite having accrued one fewer season, Iwuh has played in 23 more career games than Wilson with four starts. Wilson hasn't yet started in an NFL game. Iwuh has posted 101 career tackles, compared to Wilson's 44.
Smith said he hoped to "have [Tinoisamoa] back soon", adding that "we continue to evaluate" Roach.
The coach also broke down the other options: Wilson and Iwuh.
"We have the same type of athletes there," Smith said. "Brian Iwuh can play all three of the positions. But he can also definitely play of course the Will [weak-side linebacker] and the Sam position. Rod Wilson can do the same. It's the same type of athlete we're dealing with. Both can play out in space, make tackles. You see the way both of the guys have been able to play on special teams."

The Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) is a multidisciplinary applied research program. CHIP investigators, directed by Kenneth Mandl, MD, MPH, work at the intersection of information science, healthcare and biomedical discovery. CHIP projects fall into three major areas: bioinformatics, clinical informatics and public health informatics/biosurveillance.
CHIP's diverse faculty includes physicians with training in information science, computer scientists with expertise in the biomedical sciences, mathematicians and epidemiologists. CHIP encourages collaboration and provides shared resources to develop new information technologies--with the three central goals of enhancing biomedical research, improving patient care and promoting public health. CHIP also serves as the bioinformatics core for several national genomics investigations.
Research in the Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) spans a wide range of problems in biology, medicine and public health. To understand and help solve these problems, we utilize a variety of genomic and proteomic data, as well as individual and population-level disease information, and develop innovative hardware and software technologies.
The Human Genome Project has produced a database of human genes and other DNA sequences that is so vast and complex that it cannot be interpreted without the aid of computational techniques. At CHIP, we are involved in many collaborative and independent research projects that are mining medically useful information from this database, analyzing it and interpreting it. Currently, our bioinformatics and functional genomics group--the largest in Boston and among the first to enter the field--is working on over a dozen NIH-funded investigations of gene activity in diseases ranging from diabetes to heart failure to children's brain cancer. (To read more about this work, visit the Bioinformatics and Macrobiology pages of the CHIP website.)
A major challenge in our biomedical studies -- and those of other groups -- is gathering human tissue samples in sufficient quantities for statistical analysis. Thus, we seek to promote collaboration across institutions and give individual researchers access to more samples than they would be able to collect on their own.
We have done this in several ways. We have developed the Shared Pathology Informatics Network (SPIN), funded by the National Cancer Institute. A second initiative, called i2b2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology with the Beside), is developing new ways to take more extensive advantage of the large amounts of clinical data that already exist (and often go unused) and combining it with newly-acquired genomic data to facilitate the process of biomedical discovery. This is particularly useful in diseases which have different underlying genetic causes in different patients and require more individualized treatments.
In addition, CHIP is part of the team leading The Gene Partnership, a transformative initiative that promises to unravel the root causes of complex conditions by analyzing genetic data, clinical and environmental factors.
CHIP is also affiliated with the Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMI) at Harvard Medical School.
Our work in clinical informatics spans a wide range of problems in patient care and clinical research--from innovations in medical record keeping and diagnostic software for doctors to issues of research participants having a chance to benefit from their own data.
Although medical records have been computerized for decades, patients still have very little access to these records, and there is surprisingly little information-sharing between health care plans. As a result, medical decisions are often made with incomplete information. Together with the Clinical Decision Making Group at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science, we have developed a secure, lifelong personally controlled health record (PCHR) system that turns control over to the patient: Indivo. The nationally recognized software platform is built to public standards and is made available as open-source code for wide adoption. Using this platform, Indivo has already developed and deployed PCHR systems in real-life settings—including our own MyChildren's portal--and has been adopted by others, such as Dossia, a consortium of major employers including Intel and Wal-Mart.
We are also leading a predictive medicine venture called Intelligent Histories. The vast amounts of longitudinal data accumulating in electronic health information systems present an untapped opportunity to improve medical screening and diagnosis. The Intelligent Histories project finds new ways of using this information, to predict people's future medical risks and help doctors choose preventive interventions. Recently, for instance, CHIP researchers have shown that "intelligent" medical histories can allow doctors to detect domestic abuse faster than traditional diagnostic methods.
In addition to these initiatives targeting patient care and diagnostics, we are keenly interested in improving clinical research. The newly-launched Gene Partnership program, involving collaborations across multiple departments at Children's, is a notable example. This program aims to find the root causes of common, complex genetic diseases, by combining clinical data with personal data from PCHRs in a large number of participants. The Gene Partnership will facilitate many new longitudinal and prospective studies that advance both basic and translational research, while offering participants the unique opportunity to partner with researchers, access research findings pertinent to their own health and receive personalized care.
In the arena of public health, CHIP has developed biosurveillance systems for hospitals, internet-based nationwide and global disease tracking efforts and social networking tools that promote positive health habits.
Our scientists have created biosurveillance software that is now part of daily emergency department operations at Boston Children's Hospital. Our systems can monitor the population for bioterrorist attacks as well as ordinary disease outbreaks, such as flu. The systems use information-filtering techniques to minimize time-consuming, expensive "false alarms." Surveillance systems can also detect "clusters" of disease in particular geographic areas that could signal an environmental problem.
In a large-scale project funded by the National Institutes of Health, the CDC, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, CHIP led the development of AEGIS (Automated Epidemiologic Geotemporal Integrated Surveillance System). AEGIS integrates a wide range of data collected across institutions and different geographic regions, and analyzes them with computer algorithms--detecting abnormal disease clusters in real time and space.
We are also leading efforts to track disease outbreaks nationally and globally using online tools. A key example is HealthMap--a unique website that integrates and maps real-time disease data from various Internet sources, including blogs, listservs, chatrooms, curated sources such as ProMED, Google searches and online news reports. Recently, 1 million people used HealthMap to track the spread of the H1N1 influenza across nations and continents, demonstrating the global epidemiological power of this resource. Recent HealthMap innovations include real-time Twitter updates and the iPhone application Outbreaks Near Me. (Read more.)
We recently united with TuDiabetes, an online community of people affected by diabetes, to launch TuAnalyze, a tool that tracks diabetes metrics of people across the U.S. on an interactive map. We are also applying informatics globally to develop new strategies for managing healthcare in developing countries, with a particular interest in infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and AIDS.
Another important public health venture of CHIP is HealthySocial, a project that aims to use social networks to promote positive health habits. Two recent examples--both commended by the White House--are the "I'm a Flu Fighter!" application on Facebook, and FoodHero, a video game that promotes good nutrition.

It adds an unnecessary dependency on Nasm on every x86oid platform *and* another dependency to the toolchain for which this work is being done. This seems inelegant. I think there are two better ways forward here: 1) Move as much of the assembly file as possible into src/assembly/x86/*.lisp. This change should be straightforward for a number of functions. Routines called from C might be tricky to handle, but I think they are doable (this might requiring some mucking about for people doing relocatable cores development, though). Since moving *everything* may not be possible (a quick scan suggested that you could, though I haven't examined in detail), the second solution may be preferred: 2) Abuse the preprocessor and #ifdef'ize x86-assem.S so that it can be compiled by gcc/gas and (with appropriate preprocessing as a separate build step, which IIUC you are already using) MASM. > On Monday, I got successful links... if I run sbcl.exe, it of course > tries to load the core file from the sbcl version used for bootstrapping > (1.0.29) - which isn't going to work. :) > > While I am replacing the last few fragments of inline assembly with > "function-lets" in x86-assem-msvc.S, it would be cool if someone that > knows SBCL (and particularly its bootstrapping process) could give a few > tips on where and how I am going to come up with a useful core file. What do you mean "where and how"? Do you mean where it's going to be located in the build tree (output/sbcl.core)? Or are you asking for a checklist of "things that I might have to debug"? Or something else? You can use the --core command-line option to specify the core file for your newly-built SBCL to load. (You probably also want to use --no-userinit to avoid loading any fasls you had built for your current SBCL.) -Nathan

1980s Horror Icon, Chucky, Getting His Own Licensed Video Game
Written Friday, May 20, 2011 By Dan WebbView author's profile
If you were born in the early 80s, chances are you went against your parent's best wishes and snuck a viewing of that evil little bastard doll, Chucky, ripping through poor individuals as if they were wrapping paper in his infamous trilogy of films.
At the age of 6, there's nothing scarier than seeing a doll come to life and have such an uncontrollable bloodthirst. I couldn't sleep for years after that... No seriously, I didn't actually sleep for years.
Turns out, Universal are set to bring him back... in video game form – not that Seed of Chucky crap.
TikGames and Universal have joined forces to bring you the video game debut of Chucky and his sadistic ways, coming to consoles and PCs this fall.
Said to utilise an original storyline, players will be able to play as Chucky the doll and use his "full repertoire of stealth and guile to dispatch victims in a multitude of distinctive methods"... which is PR for: expect lots of blood.
"Fans have been asking for a Chucky game for years and, soon, gamers around the world will be able to enjoy highly-entertaining, interactive, downright gory experiences with this brand," said Alex Tikhman, Co-Founder and Vice President of Publishing for TikGames.
Yeah, but Alex... that was 20 years ago...
Billed as a "stealth-action romp," Chucky's video game is set to slash his way into homes this coming this fall.

Jazz center Al Jefferson's girlfriend charged with assaulting him
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS — The live-in girlfriend of Utah Jazz player Al Jefferson was charged Friday with hitting and biting him.
Shirley Lewis, 38, was arrested about 8:30 p.m. Thursday after she called police from the couple's home near 8000 South and Highland Drive, Cottonwood Heights Police Sgt. Mark Askerlund said. Police determined that it was a domestic violence incident and that Lewis was the aggressor.
Friday morning, Lewis was charged in Holladay Justice Court with assault and domestic violence in the presence of a child, both class B misdemeanors.
Lewis "was in a verbal argument with her live-in boyfriend, Al Jefferson, when she hit him and bit him on the back," a Salt Lake County Jail report states.
Askerlund said two children, ages 3 and 9, were home at the time of the incident and were "visibly upset." Still, both Jefferson and Lewis were cooperative with police.
"There was no problem getting information from either party," Askerlund said.
Jefferson did not want to talk about the charges during Jazz Media Day Friday. "That's a personal matter. "I don't want to discuss it," he said. "I'm here to talk about basketball."
The injuries to the Jazz player, which police said were consistent with both Jefferson and Lewis' version of events, did not require treatment.
"It was just abrasions, those types of things," Askerlund said. "There were no serious injuries, but it was an assault."
Askerlund said it did not appear that alcohol played a factor in the altercation, but he did not know what sparked the argument. He said the couple has been dating for several years.
Lewis was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail Thursday night and was later released. An arraignment on the charges was scheduled Friday morning, but Lewis did not attend. Court officials said Lewis may not have known about the appearance and they rescheduled the hearing for Jan. 18.
Jefferson, 26, joined the Utah Jazz in 2010 following a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 280-pound, 6-foot-10-inch center is originally from Mississippi.
Jazz President Randy Rigby said he did not want to comment on the incident.
"We're leaving that for Al and his girlfriend," Rigby said. "We're about building a basketball team."
Linda Luchetti, senior vice president of communications for the Jazz, said basketball is the only topic on which the team will ask players to comment.
"Because it's a personal situation, it's not something that the player is required to speak to at media availability or through the Jazz," she said. "We wouldn't request that the player speak to the media about it because it's a personal family situation."

First, sorry for my english, it's really bad !
Second, here's my problem. One of the old webmaster of my blog changed the password of the ftp server and the mysql database. So I had to change that password in the
wp-config.php file. All worked well, but when I attempted to connect to manage my website (
wp-login.php) I had the error message "Error establishing a database connection".
After some search on the internet, I tried to repair my databases (
define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);) and also tried this method in phpMyAdmin :
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='YOUR_SITE_URL' WHERE option_name='siteurl'
The second one worked, and now I can connect to my blog. I can do all the things but I still encounter some error. Everytime there is the word "wordpress" in the url, there is a database problem (Error establishing a database connection), but when i delete that word in the url, no problem and I can see the page that I wanted to see.
Can you help me please =(
