Paris. France on Friday ruled out unilateral intervention in Mali in response to an appeal from its former colony for help to repel an offensive by Islamists who control the north of the country.
In comments that dampened hopes of a rapid deployment of international troops in the troubled West African state, President Francois Hollande stressed that any action would have to go through the United Nations.
The UN Security Council has already given its blessing for a 3,000-strong African force to be sent to Mali but diplomats have warned that it will not be ready to deploy before September at the earliest.
Al-Qaeda-linked militants in northern Mali this week captured the town of Konna in the center of the country and about 1,200 Islamist fighters have moved to within 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) of Mopti, a strategically important town on the frontier between rebel-held and government-held territories.
The head of Mali's army, General Ibrahim Dahirou Dembele, was due Friday to visit the region in an attempt to bolster the shattered morale of government troops.
Hollande said the situation had become critical.
"They are trying to deliver a fatal blow to the very existence of this country," he said. "France, like its African partners and the whole of the international community, cannot accept this.
"I have decided that France will respond without delay and alongside our partners, to the request of the Malian authorities."
But he stressed: "We will do it strictly in the framework of UN Security Council resolutions and we are ready to stop the terrorist offensive if it continues."
Mali's interim president, Dioncounda Traore, will visit Paris on Wednesday for talks with Hollande in which he is expected to reiterate his appeal for French help to prevent Mali from falling apart.
The Islamists' advance has exacerbated fears of Mali becoming an Afghanistan-style haven for terrorists within easy reach of western Europe.
France has led calls for an international response but has so far insisted its involvement will be limited to providing logistical support for the force being prepared, slowly, by the West African regional bloc ECOWAS.
On the ground in Mali, witnesses told AFP that foreign troops and weapons had already begun arriving by transport plane on Thursday, apparently to bolster government forces in central Mali, but it was unclear what country they came from.
French sources said Paris has only 14 military liaison officials in Mali, apart from secret service agents.
Diplomats at the UN in New York said overnight that Traore, had appealed for help to Paris and UN chief Ban Ki-moon in a letter US ambassador Susan Rice summed up as: "Help — France."
Until this week, the Islamists had stayed largely in Mali's vast arid north, where they took control nine months ago, taking advantage of a power vacuum after a coup in March.
The political tensions in the capital, Bamako, and doubts about the capacity of the Malian army have contributed to doubts over whether the mooted African force will ever be deployed.

Exploring web-based groupware tools
Open source groupware tools have come of age. You are no longer limited to email and an address book. Some of these tools surpass the commercial alternatives – once you get them installed.
Web-based groupware tools offer simplicity for today's busy workgroup. From any web-ready computer with access to the groupware system, you can read your mail, examine your calendar, and check off items in your ToDo list. But which tool is right for your network? I decided to compare some of the more promising open source, web-based groupware collaboration alternatives.
Because I cannot do justice to all of the various products in this growing field, I have limited the study to products for which the emphasis is not on a specific task but, rather, on providing a collection of classic groupware collaboration options such as email, calendaring, contacts, and task management. Some of the shared task components included in this article are simple lists, and others are more like full-blown project management tools.

Read Poems by
Robyn Blauw
And the loneliness attacks me
Yet once again
And I feel that great hollow
Dig deep in my being
It clamps down inside me
It chokes out my heart
It leaves me so empty
I just want to get out
There are so many people
They gather around
They give me their friendship
They hold out their hands
But deep deep inside me
My being does cry
For the love that I need here
Before I will die
I want maybe too much
I'm not really sure
Don't think it impossible
Let love through the door
I could reach down inside me
And drag out all the hurts
And throw them as garbage
This life is too short
I sit here and sit here
While life floats me by
Sometimes I just wish
That I would just die
My memories they haunt me
They attack me some more
They steal from me meanings
I don't know the score
I'm trying so hard here
To just be let free
To take back a life force
That should be my tee

BERLIN (AP) – Justin Bieber's monkey is staying put for now.
You may recall the singer's pet was seized last month after The Beeb failed to provide the right paperwork for it when he passed through Munich while on tour.
Since then, Mally has been kept at an animal shelter. The shelter says it has received emails from the singer's camp, worrying that the monkey might be put down – and asking that Mally be placed in a zoo.
The shelter says it doesn't euthanize animals who have been left behind. And a German customs official says Mally must stay in the shelter until The Beeb or someone he deputizes makes a direct request. If that doesn't happen by next month, the customs official says Mally becomes German property – though Bieber may still have to pay a fine and the cost of putting up the monkey.

All design starts with an idea, and generating good ideas is what separates the wheat from the chaff. But unlike software than can easily be learned, the practice of generating ideas is far more complex. In Interaction Design: Process and Inspiration, acclaimed designer Brendan Dawes takes you through some of the processes he employs in his own work. He'll show you how he approaches projects as a series of "sketches," more akin to working with pencil and paper than pushing pixels. From interface design, usability, and using sound to branding, designing for the audience, and experimental approaches, Interaction Design offers an award-winning designer's insight into the techniques he uses every day to push, play, and constantly explore the realm of possibilities in interactive design.

continued The meet was tough on athletes who had to deal with a weather issue. Normally a two-day meet, Friday's events were postponed and the entire meet was squeezed into Saturday because of Tropical Storm Andrea.
"It was a long day," Hebert said. "We had to be there early and didn't finish until late. People had to run, then sit, and then run and then wait some more."
The high school season is done, but Hebert has one more meet. He's in Greensboro, N.C., this weekend for the New Balance National Outdoor Championships.
A year ago Hebert competed in the "emerging elite" division of the event and was eliminated in the preliminary rounds of the 110 hurdles.
Now a junior, Hebert has moved up the "championship elite" class and will compete against the best hurdlers in the country.
"I hope to make it out of the preliminaries this year," Hebert said. "I'd like to get to the semifinals and see what can do. Running again people in the 13s (seconds) will hopefully pull me along to a good time."

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Police are searching for a Buford man who reportedly opened fire and struck his ex-girlfriend during a harrowing car chase Saturday.
Dejuan Wallace, 20, is wanted on charges he fired several shots about 12:30 a.m. from a handgun at his ex, who was the passenger in a car her boyfriend was driving near Lawrenceville. The woman, a 20-year-old Lawrenceville resident, was struck once in the arm.
Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said the victim has since been released from Gwinnett Medical Center but is not under any special police protection. As for Wallace, "He hasn't been caught yet," Smith said Thursday.
Court records show the alleged shooting was not the first instance of threatening behavior between Wallace and the woman.
The incident Saturday began as the couple was heading home for the night and noticed a driver aggressively honking and blinking headlights behind them on Ga. Highway 20. The woman realized it was Wallace and told her boyfriend to keep driving. Wallace began ramming their vehicle and at one point pulled next to them and cocked a pistol, according to a Gwinnett police report.
They turned onto Sever Road but could not elude Wallace. He fired about four shots, with one bullet coming through the back window and striking the woman's right arm, the report states.
The boyfriend circled back to Duluth Highway, where he spotted an officer parked at an intersection. He ran to the officer for help before driving to Gwinnett Medical Center, where both were interviewed by police.
During interviews, the woman told police Wallace had been trying to contact her from jail, though they had broken up eight months before that. Wallace was released from the Gwinnett County Jail in late February on a probation violation for failing to appear.
"She stated that she made it aware to (Wallace) that she wanted nothing to do with him," an officer wrote.
Wallace's probation stemmed from an incident last May involving the same woman.
According to court records, Wallace had texted the woman at her work following a break-up. The threat read, in part: "They better get me before I get you. I swear to God I'm going to kill you. I'm going to your house right now ..."
Wallace pleaded guilty under first offender status to terroristic threats and acts. Gwinnett Superior Court Judge Dawson Jackson sentenced Wallace to five years probation and ordered him to have no violent contact with the victim, records show.
In court, the woman asked the judge to show mercy, calling Wallace's threats empty.

Glad that this woman is ok...but ladies please listen...
When you are with a man who threaten's you....even jokingly....please get rid of these guys.
If it gets to court allow the DA or Solicitor to follow through with the charges. Stop giving in and allowing these guys out of their trials. Press charges.
So many times, women cry..."but I love him" and only to allow these men (term used lightly) to later attack them. Re-read this line and think about it......

Did Walace try to show mercy on her?

One way of judging the effectiveness of the IDF's campaign against Hamas is to observe the level of nervousness among Hamas's allies. And with the opening this morning of a northern front — tepidly, with only three rockets — it seems that Damascus and Tehran are feeling the pressure of a Hamas defeat. This defeat is coming in both military and diplomatic forms. So far there is firm international support for a cease-fire arrangement that would prevent the reconstruction of the smuggling tunnels by which Hamas arms and funds itself. The idea is that the IDF will cripple and humiliate Hamas militarily, and the cease-fire will strangle the group into quiescence. Geographically and politically, the latter was impossible in Lebanon. In Gaza, this is not the case; it is a small territory bordered by two countries that wish to see the group destroyed. That's why Hamas just rejected the French-Egyptian cease-fire — because the group knows that the deal being discussed would all but eliminate its ability to re-arm.
The rockets that were fired from Lebanon this morning are said to have been the work of the PFLP, and Hezbollah quickly denied any involvement. But the PFLP is closely aligned with the Syrian regime and it is thus very difficult to believe that at a time of such heightened tensions it would freelance an attack. It is especially hard to believe that it wasn't an approved attack given that Iran's national security adviser, Saeed Jalili, and parliament speaker Ali Larijani are both in Damascus and holding lengthy meetings with Khaled Mashaal and other high-level Hamas and Syrian officials at the Iranian embassy. (Note to the IDF: this is what's known as a "high-value target.")
Given the context, it is far more plausible that Tehran and Damascus wished to send a volley into Israel, but didn't want Hezbollah's fingerprints on the attack. So why do it? For one, it imbues the Gaza war with a new sense of uncertainty. Israel would much prefer to fight one war at a time. Second, the strike is surely intended to strengthen Hamas' position in any cease-fire talks by injecting the proceedings with a sense of urgency. It is hoped that an unnerved Israel will be a more flexible Israel. And finally, no discussion of the Middle East would be complete without mentioning honor. Iran's client is getting the beating of its life, and neither Hezbollah nor Syria nor Iran have done anything more than stage street demonstrations and deliver tirades. Sending a few rockets into Israel helps show that Tehran is willing to assume some risk, however meager, on behalf of its ally.
In all of this, Hezbollah is in a difficult position domestically. A new round of Hezbollah-instigated fighting with Israel is the last thing most Lebanese want right now, and would damage Hezbollah's prospects in the parliamentary elections in May. It is important to Hezbollah to cultivate a pretense of democratic legitimacy in Lebanon, and every one of its freelanced wars with Israel erodes such perceptions. And it's doubtful that Tehran itself wants Hezbollah involved. The Iranians would prefer to keep the group's powder dry in case of an Israeli or American attack on the Iranian nuclear program. Hence the use of the PFLP.
The conflict now teeters between rapid escalation to Israel's north, or an eventual cease-fire arrangement with a badly damaged Hamas. Where the conflict goes now depends on whether Tehran wishes to stand down as its client is crushed, or whether it deems such an eventuality unacceptable. Then the real war might start.
UPDATE: Tony Badran, as usual, has a very smart take on these developments.

BBA in Information Systems
The BBA degree in information systems (IS) provides a sound foundation in information technology (IT) principles and practice. The emphasis is on applications of information technology rather than the computer itself. Students earning a BBA in information systems understand web and application development in the context of the business environment. Graduates have capabilities in systems analysis and design, database management, and IT project management. Students also have the opportunity to consider information systems strategy in the global environment and bring everything together into an IS capstone course. The program of study includes general business courses, and business topics are integrated into many IS courses. The BBA in IS provides students with flexible elective options. Elective courses focus on cutting-edge IT topics such as web development and business intelligence.
Students completing the BBA in IS may choose to pursue graduate studies in IT, business, and related fields, or they may choose to begin careers in industry, government, or other agencies. Graduates of the IS program are prepared for a variety of careers in IS and IT, especially in the design, implementation, and management of IT projects. Example job titles include application developer, application support, business analyst, business intelligence manager, client services analyst, database administrator, database analyst, information resource manager, IT consultant, programmer/analyst, project manager, quality assurance analyst, systems analyst, user support analyst, web developer, web page designer, and webmaster.
BBA in Information Security and Assurance
The Bachelor of Business Administration in Information Security and Assurance (BBA-ISA) develops technologically proficient, business-savvy information security professionals capable of applying policy, education & training, and technology solutions to protect information assets from all aspects of threats, and to manage the risks associated with modern information usage. Information security is the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information while in transmission, storage or processing, through the application of policy, technology, and education and awareness. Information assurance concerns information operations that protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and nonrepudiation. This program spans both areas in its approach to the protection of information in the organization.
The Committee on National Security Systems and the National Security Agency have certified that Kennesaw State University offers a set of courseware that has been reviewed by National Level Information Assurance Subject Matter Experts and determined to meet National Training Standard for Information Systems Security Professionals (NSTISSI 4011, and CNSS 4012, 4013E, 4014E). KSU is also designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance as recognized by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.
Master of Science in Information Systems
The Master of Science in Information Systems will help develop IT leaders to compete in the increasingly global business environment. The program emphasizes the strategic importance of technology and the development of qualified and capable leaders for the global organization. With evening, online, and hybrid classes, the MSIS program gives students the opportunity to engage in significant professional development, without disruption of their careers.
Business Administration/Information Systems Dual Master's Degree
The Master of Business Administration/Master of Science in Information Systems (MBA/MSIS) Program is a dual degree offered by the Coles College of Business Administration MBA and MSIS programs. The objective of this program is to allow students who are interested in information systems and business to concurrently register in both MBA and MSIS programs. The relationship between information technology and success in the business enterprise makes this program innovative and attractive to students wishing to become IT leaders. Specifically, documented expertise in these related areas provides graduates with opportunities for advancement and career mobility in areas such as project management, information technology, strategy, management, and information security.
Undergraduate and Graduate Certificate Programs in Information Security and Assurance
The certificate options allows students to earn a credential that documents learning content in information security assurance and prepares students to protect the information and technology assets of organizations.

mima - Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art
mima is one of the UK's leading galleries for modern and contemporary art and craft. The landmark building designed by Erick van Egeraat Architects is situated in the heart of Middlesbrough. mima opened to international critical acclaim in January 2007. Hosting temporary exhibitions of fine art and craft from 1900 to the present, mima showcases work by internationally acclaimed artists. Exhibitions change throughout the year and admission is free.
mima is part of Middlesbrough Council and is funded by Middlesbrough Council and Arts Council England.

mima brings together Middlesbrough's art collections for the first time.
The mima collection comprises outstanding fine and applied art from 1900 to the present day, with many pieces acquired by mima's forerunners, Middlesbrough Art Gallery and the Cleveland Craft Centre.

Many people dream of opening their own business and being their own boss. In fact, thousands of people do just that every day. Many small businesses can be opened with little or no up-front money, and those businesses can thrive just as well as businesses that need considerable starting capital. However, at some point, almost every business will consider borrowing money for one reason or another. You may need to contemplate a business loan for additional equipment, or to expand into another building or city, or you may just need to cover a temporary seasonal downturn. Whatever reason you have for looking into a business loan, there are several factors to consider before you go to the bank.
Are You In a Position to Borrow?
One of the first things that you must look at honestly is whether or not your business is in a position to take out a business loan. While a good credit rating is important, banks also look at other information when considering a request for a business loan. If your business is established, the bank will require documentation of a steady income and proof that the business is able to afford the costs and repayment terms associated with the loan. If it is a new business, the bank will need to see a quality business plan that explains what you anticipate revenue to be over a long period of time. Before approaching the bank, look honestly at the business revenue and expenditures to ensure that your company is in a good position to borrow.
Can I Manage My Cash Flow?
One of the most important things to develop in any business is an effective bookkeeping system that is clearly organized. This system can be handwritten or computerized, but any bank is going to want to see reports of income and expenditures for the business. Few banks will extend business loans if you cannot provide them with a clear profit and loss statement; a box full of receipts and cancelled checks is probably not going to be sufficient for the bank to believe you are managing your cash flow well.
What Are My Growth Prospects?
When deciding if it is time to take out a business loan, it is important to look to the future before approaching the bank. One of the best reasons for a bank to lend is if you can document growth prospects in written form. By looking toward the future, you will have a better chance of proving to the bank that your company is growing and that a business loan would be an investment in the community that could create jobs and contribute to economic vitality.
Obtaining a business loan is often more difficult than obtaining loans for personal reasons, such as homes and cars, but by properly preparing in advance of your visit to the bank, you can improve the chances that the bank will be willing to take a risk on your growing business.

By Air Force Tech. Sgt. John OrrellNational Guard Bureau
NEW CASTLE, Del., March 7, 2011 Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, promised National Guard members and their families here that she will support them during every deployment.
"As family members, we honor and support our [Guard members], but we also know that we will miss them each and every day they're away from us," she said during a March 4 call-to-duty ceremony at the Delaware Air National Guard's 166th Airlift Wing.
Biden announced Feb. 28 that she and First Lady Michelle Obama will launch a campaign this month that's designed to rally citizens, businesses and nonprofit organizations to provide support for servicemembers and their families.
"We're going to reach out to all Americans," she said. "Michelle and I are going to go on a tour around the country to create this mass-media awareness, so that the 99 percent of Americans that are not serving can now serve the 1 percent who are."
Biden said this initiative was created to recognize the sacrifices families make when they have a deployed Guard member and to identify and fix some of the shortfalls that happen back home when a Guard member is gone.
"Families, you –- like your airmen and soldiers -– are making your own personal sacrifice for this country," she said. "I want you to know that this country appreciates your courage and your strength."
Noting her experience as a military mom when her son Beau Biden, who is a captain in the Delaware Army National Guard, returned home from a yearlong deployment to Iraq, Biden said she worked during that time with the grassroots organization Delaware Boots on the Ground. It makes a difference, she added, made when someone reaches out to support Guard families.
"Three years ago, I sat where you families are sitting today as my son Beau deployed to Iraq," she said. "I have some sense of what some of the parents and loved ones are feeling. I remember the distinct mixed feeling of both pride and concern.
"Where a military family in Delaware has a need, we try to meet it," she continued, describing the Delaware Boots on the Ground mission as, "whether it's physical labor or repairs around the house, a fun night out for the kids, or other simple ways individuals, businesses and groups can support a family through a deployment."
To offer solace during the coming months, Biden shared a prayer that was slipped into her hand by Jane Vavala, wife of Delaware's adjutant general, Army Maj. Gen. Frank Vavala, during Beau Biden's deployment ceremony.
"Dear God, I pray to give each [Guard member] the courage and strength to do the duty that is required of them," she said. "May they always remember our appreciation for the sacrifice they are making for us. We are thankful for the men and women who willing to risk their lives to protect our freedom. I ask you to go with each one of them and protect them wherever they go, Amen."

/ 150th Anniversary | Missouri NRCS
Loading Tree...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offices of Columbia donated 892 pounds of food and $175 dollars to the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri May 15 as a way to recognize and celebrate the agency's 150th anniversary. Four agencies, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Farm Service Agency (FSA), Rural Development (RD) and National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) participated in the week-long food drive.
Established in 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln, USDA works on food, agriculture, economic development, science, natural resource conservation and a host of issues. USDA still fulfills Lincoln's vision, touching the lives of every American, every day.
"We wanted to find a unique way to celebrate our sesquicentennial while also involving the community," NRCS State Conservationist J.R. Flores said. "Having worked with the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri in the past, we were aware of the growing need for donations in our area. With that in mind a goal was set to collect 150 pounds of food, in honor of our anniversary. USDA employees answered the challenge and came up with nearly six times what we hoped to receive."
Nearly 150 USDA employees, including state and field office staff, gathered in the hallway of the Parkade Center as Flores discussed USDA's rich history and commitment to helping the community. Food Bank representative Todd Pridemore accepted the USDA's donations. The Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri distributes nearly 28 million pounds of food to 135 agencies and 138 schools in 32 counties.
The USDA is looking to the future Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said during a ceremony in Washington D.C. In the years to come, employees will help address the changing needs of agriculture and rural America and will continue to help provide a safe, ample food supply for the nation and the world."

My Tights Range
With over 600 products, My Tights offers the widest range in hosiery from classic sheers & opaque tights in over 80 colours, to sexy stockings, essential shapewear, and all the hottest fashion trends. We also offer specialist collections that are hard to find on the high street, including extra tall, plus size and maternity tights.
My Tights Service
My Tights believe that quality service is as important as a quality product, which is why all customer queries are answered with 2 hours (Mon–Fri 9am–5pm), and all orders placed before 5pm (Mon-Fri) are shipped the same day by first class post. The My Tights team of hosiery experts are passionate about what they do, testing each and every product independently to ensure you receive the best information and advice.
Here at My Tights we have a wide range of luxury and affordable brands, from Pretty Polly to Wolford tights we're sure you will find what you are looking for. We have a collection of styles, with tights suitable for every size, shape and occasion. Choose from classic sheer and opaque tights, to bold patterned tights, and even the brightest yellow tights.

We're sure you will find what you are looking for, whether it's sexy seamed stockings, funk patterned or coloured hold ups or simple sheers we've got it covered!
How to choose the perfect tights...
Thickness:When choosing your tights we recommend you initially decide how thick you want them to be - from ultra sheer (for a bare leg look) and sheer, to semi-opaque and opaque, up to mega thick tights. For more help understanding thickness take a look at our denier advice.
Finish: Once you have decided on the thickness you will also need to consider the finish of your hosiery - super shiny, a subtle sheen or matt? Take a look at our hosiery finish advice for more information.
Brief: You may want to also consider the brief of your tights. A boxer brief will offer more reinforcement for durability - however a v-line brief or sheer-to-waist brief are perfect for shorter skirts or shorts as they are the same thickness all the way up the leg. To see what each brief looks like take a look at our advice on hosiery briefs.
Toes: Toes are important to consider if you will be wearing open toe shoes. Whilst reinforced toes offer much more strength and durability they are not suitable for open toe shoes, a sandal toe will be more suitable and will offer some reinforcement. Sheer toes offer the same thickness throughout the foot, and open toe tights are perfect when looking for a natural bare leg look with sandals. For pictures and more advice check out our tights toes advice.
Colour: When buying sheer tights it can be hard to achieve a natural look with many of the tights on offer on the High Street, with the poor selection of colour options. Here at MyTights we stock a wide variety of skin tone shades, from the palest English Rose through to Mediterranean and African skin tones. For more top tips read our skin tone tights advice.
View all our advice pages for more help.
At My Tights we think reviews are very important, which is why we use a third party review manager, Feefo, to get feedback on our customer service, along with all the tights, stockings, hold ups and shapewear from our customers. You can see this information
A selection of our reviews include:
"I'm glad you guys are so passionate about tights, it makes my life easier!"
"Of all the online shopping I have done, My Tights really are the best"
"The turnaround between ordering and receiving the tights is amazing!"

Thursday, April 5, 2012
We will definitely get in at least one more day of skiing and riding this weekend. On Saturday, our Valley House chair will run from 10 AM to 5 PM. Stein's and Coffee Run will be open. Midday we will assess conditions and see if we can open on Easter Sunday as well.
Skiing on Stein's last weekend.
Regardless, this weekend will be our finale for the 2011/12 season, so come up for one final run. The weather on Saturday is looking decent, with temperatures forecasted in the 40's and partly to mostly sunny skies. Friday night is going to be cool, so we are starting the lift at 10 AM to give the snow a chance to soften up before guests enter Stein's.
I hope to see some of you diehards on the hill this weekend. And don't forget about our 7:30 AM Easter Sunrise Service in the Gate House Lodge on Sunday, followed by an appearance by the Easter Bunny and an Easter Egg Hunt at 10 AM. Following that, a delicious Easter Brunch will be served in Timbers from 10:30 AM to 3 PM.
It should be a fun finale. Hope to see you here this weekend.
So what would you expect a former Executive Vice President of Merrill Lynch to do when he retires? Lay low in the islands? Nope. He moves north and works seven days a week right here at Sugarbush. Check out what he's been thinking.

"When you don't have all day to make refried beans and you can't stand the canned ones, these are easy and delicious."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
canola oil
garlic cloves, peeled
2 (15 ounce) cans
pinto beans
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
chili powder
salt to taste
lime, juiced
3 out of 4 of my kid's liked these. We used them to make bean burrito's. By themselves they need something more to flavor but when paired with something (like in the burritos) they were ok. They were a little on the dry side also but I drained and rinsed my beans since the recipe did not specify if they needed to be drained or not.
I tried this recipe, minus the lime juice, no one in my family liked them. (they're spoiled, because I cook my own beans), but I was out of homemade beans, so I decided to try canned beans, big mistake.Oh well, live n learn!....P.S.when I make refried beans, I also use a little bacon grease, delicious!
41 Ratings
As I prepared this tonight I was thinking our enchiladas would end up served with just rice. I wasn't hopeful about them at all. First, I meant to add some bacon - and forgot. I figured this was now going to be hopelessly non-flavorful without it. I did add half a tomato (peeled, seeded and chopped) I needed to put to good use and that proved to be a nice addition. After I mixed this up I gave it a taste and thought it had too predominant a taste of cumin. To top that off, the beans were soupy. But I kept simmering and stirring, reminding myself that the beans I get in Mexican restaurants are sometimes kind of soupy! They did thicken up after 10-15 minutes of simmering, and Hubs remarked that they were pretty "D" good. And I didn't even miss the bacon!
I prefer the taste of refried beans that use bacon grease or lard, but these aren't bad and are certainly healthier. I also added a couple of tablespoons of chopped onion with the garlic to give a bit more flavour.
I followed the recipe exactly. I included the liquid from both cans of beans. The flavor was great. Only problem was that I did not mash up the beans all the way and my family thought they were a bit chunky. This recipe fed my family of 5 with one scoop for leftovers. Thanks for the recipe, definately a make again.
Just whipped this up and added paprika, red pepper flakes, taco sauce, garlic powder, pepper, and 2 tsp of ranch seasoning (gives it a sour cream tang) and it became an awesome dip for corn chips!!
I had prepped black beans in my crock pot, and was afraid they wouldn't be soft enough- but came out just right.
I don't eat the ones in the can...they are nasty sooooooooo wasn't sure if I wanted to try this or not, but needed some type of veggie. My hubby and I thought they were delicious. I didn't drain them and didn't put any lime juice on them because we don't like the flavor of lime. We like them a bit on the soupy side and that is how they turned out. For the amount of work they took, I should have given them a 5. Next time I just might put cheese or sour cream on them.
Very good! Was searching for a quick recipe after I found I was out of canned refried beans. I halved the recipe, and DID use the liquid from the can (I used black beans, which were great). There wouldn't have been enough liquid otherwise. I guessed on the other measurements, and mashed them a bit, and they tasted great! Didn't seem to take the full time, and the black beans were a good change. Will definitely make this again!

I don't know if this is a good idea, but I wanted to start a thread where we can all just brainstorm about note-taking software. Anything you want to say, wishlist of features, what you like about existing programs, what you'd like the ideal program to do. I know a lot of us would like to see a good review of this genre done here at DC, and we all know how hard that would be to accomplish, so maybe this thread could be a place where ideas can be collected.
In my opinion, it would be absoutely impossible to do a traditional review where we'd pick a couple of programs as the "best in this category. Everyone has different needs for this type of software. I think the review will ultimately have to be such that we subcategorize the software out there and say, "Well, if <this> is what you're trying to do, then <this> is the best software for it." So, different programs can be categorized as the "best" depending on what specific task is trying to be accomplished. There's no way we can collectively pick one program as the ultimate. Heck, if it was just me, I can't even say which program is the best for me!

Gear Review
Best Pants. Ever.
These are incredible. I bought one pair just to test them out and ended up buying two more a few months later because I was so whooped. They will handle any abuse you can give them, and will last for years. Or decades. I'll probably be wearing these same pants 20 years from now. As with all things Carhartt, the fit is a teeny bit big, so consider sizing down. I love the Dungaree fit.

SOCL928: Consumer Society
Tutor: Anne Cronin
This module offers an advanced introduction to the socio-cultural analysis of what has been called a 'consumer society', a society with increasing emphasis on marketisation, commercialisation and commodification. This module therefore provides students with key conceptual resources with which to understand contemporary society and social change in a way which complements their other core and optional modules.
The module begins by introducing classical approaches to consumption and commodities in capitalist societies (e.g. Marx, Veblen, Simmel) and then moves on to consider more recent accounts of the social significance of commodities and consumption (e.g. Douglas, Benjamin). Alternative accounts of the status and shifting significance of commodities is presented in week 4, offering analyses of key contemporary approaches which expand the conventional conceptual boundaries of 'the commodity' (e.g. Appadurai, Kopytoff, Haraway). The module then offers a related analysis of advertising, branding and what has been called the 'promotional' nature of contemporary society. The following two weeks offer alternative accounts of consumption practices (e.g de Certeau, Bourdieu, Miller) and then considers the expansion of discourses of consumerism (e.g. their folding into social identities). The following week considers the explicitly political elements of consumption practices with a case study of 'ethical consumption' and the course ends with a reflection on broad social shifts of marketisation, commercialisation and commodification – can we say then that the west is a 'consumer society'?

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghanistan says it has released some 250 prisoners formerly held by the U.S. in hopes that this will lead to reconciliation in the 11-year conflict.
A Defense Ministry spokesman said that 80 were freed from prisons across the country on Friday, the latest batch of a total of 400 to be released this week. The released prisoners had been captured in operations against the Taliban and other groups.
Police Maj. Jalal Uddin said he was certain that the prisoners would now support the Kabul government and help the peace process.
The U.S. military held thousands of prisoners at a facility on its base in Bagram near Kabul but, since an agreement with the Afghan government last March, more than 3,000 were transferred to Afghan control. .

I'm hoping for him to have a pro-bowl caliber year this year. The team needs it; and he deserves it.
Its been a long time since we had so much depth at the QB spot. Too bad they still have so many other points of weakness.
I really don't think there will be many changes made on the defensive line between now and September 13. I hope that the previous "scheme" was a big part of the problem and the players can step up and play better this year.
He will be a lot better this year. Not only has HE had a year of experience under his belt, Cherilus has too. Now, with the addition of Jenson, the Lions are 1 player away from having a pretty decent line.
Its probably the real thing - that's why they keep dodging the question. I don't know why its so important to keep such a thing so secretive.
Please don't draft a QB with the number 1 pick. Trenches, trenches, trenches!
Hahhahaha! That would be a great halftime show.
I really like what the new coaches have done so far. That being said, I've liked what all the past coaches did before the season - they could all talk a good game. We'll see what happens in the draft and how it all translates onto the field.
I hope they just keep QB's that they have until next year. They need to focusing on defense and O-line.
Keep 'em coming.
The throwbacks are way better anyway. This team needs to purge everything that Millen brought in.
Yeah, that end shot was pretty cheesy! The rest of it was good. They have restored my hope for next year. So far the new management has made some pretty good choices.
Go defense with the first two picks. Doesn't matter when the players are "projected". Go with what you need.
If I were a betting man I would bet on the Lions to beat the spread in almost all of their games. Too many people are focusing too much on the past. Detroit is making progress and if you can't see that, then you're not looking - you've left the blinders on. Even when the Lions prove that they can win people like this will call it a fluke.
Rod is leading this team to greatness.
For the fans, by the fans!
Wow! This team looks better all the time. They made big plays on both sides of the ball. Running game still needs some work, but even that is looking better.
If they can make this offense work this will be a dominant team. I like Kitna having more control. There will be far less sacks and hopefully fewer picks. Calvin is going to the Pro Bowl this year!
The name will be fitting once again. These lions will rise to glory and shine their magnificence down upon the rest of the league!!!
Dizon better be worth the trouble. If he thinks he is going to have a chance at starting he needs to get his ass in camp and start learning the position.
For the fans, by the fans!
Too bad about Caleb - he could have at least have been a nice addition to the special teams, maybe a backup linebacker. If Spikes is signed though, the linebackers could be pretty fierce this year. Let Dizon be a back up and learn the system for a year.
For the fans, by the fans!
Thanks for the audio Killer. Much improved format from last year. I agree - they aren't going to be Super Bowl contenders this year. At best they make the playoffs and lose the first round. I do believe that no matter how many wins and losses they get, they will be a much improved team.
For the fans, by the fans!

Mexican cuisine
Are there any other admirers of traditional Mexican cuisine on SE? I've traveled to Merida, Cancun and Progreso in the Yucatan and found myself loving the local dishes there such as pollo pibil, poc chuc, tikin xic, sieved black beans with epazote and anything with habanero! Homemade salsa fresca and guacamole are always good too! I am not asking for any recipes, but I am curious to read your favorite dishes, the your stories and why you have an appreciation for Mexican fare.

I'm Christophe, and I'm using circledock for 2 months now.
I'm very happy with the soft.
Recently I upgraded my computer and OS.
Previously I ran circledock 0.9.2 alpha 8.2.
Due to Seven I had to upgrade to 1.5.6.
I'm using Seven 64, and circle dock 1.5.6 64 bits.
I don't know what framework version I'm running.
When I try to get "dock parameters", the program wait 20 or 30 seconds and then crash with a window I join.
I've tried circle dock 1.5.6 32 bits and 1.5.5 32 and 64 bits with the same result.
The 0.9.2 alpha 8.2 seems to work better.

Cherries striker Lewis Grabban cancelled out Troy Hewitt's 14th-minute opener for Bury and after David Worrall put the Shakers back in front, the visitors' substitute striker Brett Pitman struck in the 91st minute to make it 10 games unbeaten for Howe since his return from Burnley.
Howe said: "I'm disappointed not to have won the game to be honest. We had enough chances, but again I'm disappointed that we've conceded two poor goals.
"The conditions were very difficult out there, but our approach was good and Brett has shown great character to score there at the end. That's just what he's about. He's harried the defender and taken his goal really well.
"All the players have shown character. If we do want to achieve things this season we've got to keep showing that desire. We don't want to be one of the chasing pack. We've got the quality in the squad to really push on this season now."

Career Possibilities
More Stanford law students seek and secure judicial clerkships than any other kind of government position. Between 30-35% of recent graduating classes have gone on to these one-year and two-year positions. Ninety-five percent clerk at the federal district or appellate level. Clerking entails a good deal of legal research and writing, though it can also involve administrative responsibilities. It is an excellent opportunity to become familiar with pretrial and trial procedures and to hone legal research, writing and advocacy skills.
There are many benefits to working as a term judicial law clerk or permanent staff attorney. The jobs can be remarkable introductions to a variety of lawyering techniques and styles. The experience can be an invaluable way to see judicial decision-making in action, and to gain exposure to a wide variety of legal specialties. Many legal employers regard this as a gold star on your resume, and the judge you work with can be a terrific reference. For people who are unsure about a permanent job, or who are looking for a public interest or public sector job, a clerkship can keep you clothed and fed while you await bar results and search for a job.
A clerkship, however, is not right for everyone. If you are not interested in legal research and writing, are eager to get started in a job with more permanence, or are more comfortable in a role of more forthright advocacy, you might consider other alternatives.

What difference is a law going to make. It won't be enforced. How many people don't use their turn signals, drive without lights on when it's getting dark, have one headlight out, and on & on & on. I've even seen law enforcement doing these things. Can I give a "citizens" ticket?? I would LOVE to see all these slow pokes in the left lane given a ticket. I would bet they are a big part of "road rage". Especially when they're going to same speed as the car next to them. No way to pass. Those signs with "Slow traffic keep right" are a joke. All the slow traffic is in the left lane. Look on ANY road you travel. Especially between DeLand and Orange City...OMG!!! The only time they get in the right lane is to turn right!!! That is one thing that needs to be enforced, but I won't get my hopes up. While traveling I saw a sign, I believe in PA, that said "Left lane for passing only". Now that spells it out. Unless of course you'll be turning left SOON! People that drive in the left lane think they have the right to drive wherever they want, and have NO CLUE that they might be aggravating to other drivers trying to get by. But getting a ticket, with an explanation as to WHY they got one, might help. I HOPE IT'S ENFORCED!!!

Looking for New Years Eve dinner menu inspiration
We're having our best friends over for NYE dinner and I'm just now getting around to thinking of a menu. Its just the 4 of us (we'll feed the kids early and put them to bed then eat later) and we can't do nuts or mushrooms. (The nuts I understand b/c its a matter of a life or death allergy to pretty much every type of nut there is, but the mushrooms is just b/c of a picky eater). Otherwise, we all like good food. Trying to think of a good dinner menu but after all the hustle of Christmas I'm drawing blanks. Plus everything I think of is for a big group of people - this needs to be more intimate. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Two words: Dublin Lawyer. My husband and I have New Years Eve alone every year and one of the items we always have is this amazing lobster dish with the unusual name as a first course. There's not really a recipe, but here's how you make it. Start with undercooked lobster meat. Have on hand butter, creme fraiche and Jameson's Irish whiskey and watercress. No substitutes for any of these ingredients. It takes about 5 minutes to make. Slice up the lobster into chunks and saute quickly in the butter. Add a good splash of the whiskey and flame--be careful! Pull out the lobster and keep it warm while you add enough creme fraiche to make a sauce, reduce a little. Plate up with lobster and a little handful of watercress. Perfect!
re: escondido123
That does sound perfect!
re: goodhealthgourmet
GHG - do you mind sharing the sticky rice recipe? I'm kind of obsessed with pomegranates right now. (I'm always obsessed with sesame.)
re: darklyglimmer
i don't have a formal recipe because kinda winged it - as i usually do - but it's pretty simple.
- cook a batch of sweet brown rice (a.k.a. mochi rice or brown sushi rice), subbing pomegranate juice for half the cooking water, and include 1 or 2 large chunks of peeled ginger in the pot. in terms of amounts, the pomegranate sauce & garnishes should be sufficient for 3-4 cups of cooked rice.
- meanwhile, thinly slice a few scallions, reserve the green parts, add a little oil to a hot pan and sauté the white parts along with a bit of minced garlic for a couple of minutes just until soft & fragrant.
- in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, combine about 1/4 cup of pomegranate molasses, about a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, 1-2 tablespoons of unseasoned rice vinegar, 1-2 teaspoons of tamari or soy sauce, and a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil. whisk to combine thoroughly, and cook until warm and glossy. season to taste with freshly ground white pepper (i prefer the flavor of white over black in this dish.)
- remove the ginger chunks from the rice, and transfer the rice to a large bowl. fold in the sauteed scallions and garlic, plus about 1/4 cup of fresh pomegranate seeds and 1-2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds. pour some of the warm pomegranate sauce over the mixture, and toss to distribute the sauce throughout the rice.
- garnish with reserved scallions & serve.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Wow that does sound great. However my husband, who is Thai/Chinese just quashed any Asian influenced food. Picky picky. On the other hand I might make that another night so thanks for the recipe!
re: goodhealthgourmet
Thanks! Sounds amazing. I bet it's beautiful, too. Will try it as soon as I can get my hands on the ingredients.
My wife and I do a bunch of recipes that we have been wanting to make, but never had time for during the year and do tasting portion sizes of multiple dishes. Very disconnected in terms of being a "menu," but it's always fun. We usually entertain another couple that are adventurous and enjoy cooking. We've dubbed the concept Extreme Fusion.
So far this year I know I'm doing some sesame noodles with black garlic. I've wanted to do a duck ham from one of Tom Colchicio's books, but I'm out of curing time at this late date.
re: laststandchili
My husband and I are spending NYE alone as well, but we're doing a "bar food" menu. We're making salsa, queso dip with chips, mini burgers (sliders), and either sausage balls (with baking mix and cheese) or scotch eggs. I'm trying to find some fresh oysters around here to fry up, too, but I'm not having much luck.
A fond Christmas or NY Eve dinner memory was what my late MIL would do. Spread newspapers on the floor in front of the fireplace. Cover newspapers with a tablecloth, then surround this with lots of pillows. Menu: Fresh cracked crab, lobster and shrimp in bowls served with slaw and sourdough bread. Lots of white wine, interesting dipping sauces with nice plates and wine glasses. There would be just 4 of us and we would sit around on the pillows and eat, talk and enjoy the wine for hours.
re: Gail
That sounds like perfection. We have crab on the menu for NYeve and I think I will definitely do it up in front of the fire now.
I was going to be all tight and rigid and insist we sit at the tale for the crab -it's messy! Your post is encouraging me to throw caution to the wind and break out my all-cotton tableclothes.
My bff will be so surprised I'm not being anal for a change.
I am hoping to score some nice oysters too, and have a variety of delicious snacky-snacks to enjoy with bubbly.
I have a thick New York if we need it, but I doubt we'll even get there.

Opener Jacques Kallis was unbeaten on 31, while captain Gautam Gambhir was batting on 33.
Pivotally, Gambhir was handed a reprieve in the eighth over when he failed to connect a Johan Botha delivery cleanly. However, Kellie Smuts, who ran in from the cover boundary, made a hash of the opportunity.
Earlier, the Warriors built up the ideal platform, but the final push never materialised. Fine bowling in the death by the Knight Riders kept their final score down to 155/4, when at a time they looked poised to get more.
KKR drew first blood in the second over as Warriors opener Ashwell Prince inside-edged a Jacques Kallis delivery onto the stumps.
Opener JJ Smuts and Colin Ingram seized the initiative back for the Warriors with a solid 80-run partnership for the second wicket.
After a couple of chancy boundaries at the start of his innings, Smuts (46 off 43 balls; 6x4) hit some clean blows.
