Happy Hallowe'en: Observed: some Irish Hallowe'en Traditions
According to some historians Hallowe'en was first celebrated by the Celts who called it 'Samhain', the 'Feast of the Dead'. This was the day when the dead revisited the mortal world. In Gaelic the day is called 'Oíche Shamhna', which literally translates to 'night' of 'November', or November eve. It is a harvest celebration which marks the end of summer and the start of the winter months.
In the eighth century the Catholic Church designated the first day of November as 'All Saints Day ('All Hallows'). It was to be a day of commemoration for those Saints who did not have a holy day of remembrance specifically dedicated to them. The night before was known as 'All Hallows Evening' which, over time, became known as Hallowe'en (thus the apostrophe between the two 'e's).
Here are some Irish Hallowe'en Traditions of which my family partake:
Colcannon is a dish of mashed potatoes mixed with curly kale and a little bit of onion; it is served as a traditional Irish Hallowe'en dinner. Tradition holds that clean coins are wrapped in waxed paper and placed in the colcannon for children to find and keep. When I was growing up my mother did not add the coins for fear that someone would choke on a coin, and I do not add them when I make colcannon.
Barnbrack (or Barmbrack)
Barnbrack is a traditional fruit bread/cake in Ireland and is often served on Hallowe'en. Each member of the family gets a slice, and also any guests. Although we do not include them in our barnbrack, traditionally bits of rags are wrapped and baked into the cake. If you get a rag it means you will end up poor. We like to keep everything on the positive side, so in our family both my mom and I bake only wrapped coins and a wrapped ring into the bread. If a coin is in the slice you receive, your future will be a prosperous one; if you find a ring in yours, romance is in your future.
Pumpkin Carving
Carving Pumpkins dates back to the eighteenth century. Many stories exist about the origins of pumpkin carving; however, according to one popular legend, an Irish blacksmith named Jack colluded with the Devil and was denied entry to Heaven. He was condemned to wander the earth in the dark, but pleaded with the Devil to give him some light. A burning coal ember was thrown up to him from Hell. He gouged out the core of a turnip and placed the ember inside. Thus, the tradition of Jack O'Lanterns was born - the bearer being the wandering blacksmith - a damned soul. Villagers in Ireland placed a lantern in their window to keep the wanderer away. When the tradition emigrated to America with the Irish the more plentiful pumpkins were used instead.
Hallowe'en Costumes
This tradition of wearing costumes also dates back to Celtic times. Legend tells us that, with the dead returning to the mortal world on this special night of 'Samhain', the living Celts would dress in elaborate costumes as spirits and devils, so that they could mingle with the spirits of the dead without fear of being carried away by them during the night.

Happy samhain
Keep smilin
As always, you educate me. Spooky, thanksReplyDelete
Happy Halloween
I agree Jenn. Actually, when I've made Colcannon, I haven't added the kale. Just mashed potatoes and scallions, so I'll try this. I'm going to look for a Barnbrack recipe as well.ReplyDelete
Thanks J, appreciate your time and effort in all your writing.
Oiche Shamhna!
Hi Jenn, and Carol, and Thomas, Thanks for your comments. Lovely to hear from all of you. I hope you have a wonderful day and night this Hallowe'en! I probably shouldn't mention this but I put loads of butter in the Colcannon as well (not very healthy, but tasty). Cheers! Jennifer Oiche Shamhna!! (Good Hallowe'en to you!!)ReplyDelete

|Voters Turn to Weigh in on Local Controversies
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 05 November 2013 09:56
Voters are getting their say today at the ballot box after two years of local controversies. It will be interesting to see how voters react to issues such as Boone's development ordinances, criticized as too restrictive and enacted as the county tried to sell the old Watauga High site, effectively killing the sale. It was a matter
that became a serious point of contention between the Boone Town Council and Watauga Commission, and led to the restructuring of sales tax distribution in the county, costing Boone some $2 million in revenue. While Watauga Commissioners are not on the ballot this time, only two sitting council members are on the ballot—and only one seeking to return to his seat, that being Rennie Brantz. Councilman Andy Ball is running for Mayor, but will return to his council seat if he loses. Two other current members are not seeking reelection. And speaking of Brantz, a conservative blog, A Watauga Conservative, reported that Brantz, an ASU professor, did not file required paperwork with the university, the blog quoting Dayton Cole, General Counsel for Appalachian State University confirming that Brantz did not file a required petition, required of ASU employees seeking elective office. It was not clear whether ASU might take action over the omission.
But Boone is not the only seat of controversy, with sides drawn in Beech Mountain on a number of issues, including the Genesis Wildlife Refuge, operation of the Buckeye Recreation Center, and issues that have spun out of the central issues around the town board there. Candidate sign destruction and tempers flaring at town board meetings have further polarized the town—and the election.
An indication of the interest in the election is evident in the numbers of early One-Stop voting with 1154 voters casting ballots at the Commissioners meeting room—the early voting poll for all of Watauga County, with over 100 mail-in votes also in as of yesterday morning. And with Boone Mayor Loretta Clawson stepping down, it adds up to an interesting referendum on the state of affairs in local towns.
Voters will cast their ballots at a single polling place in Beech Mountain, Blowing Rock and Seven Devils, but in Boone, eight precinct polling places will be open—not all of the eight precincts are fully located within the Boone town limits, so if you have any voting questions, call the Watauga County Board of Elections at (828) 265-8061 for assistance. Election coverage starts on High Country Radio as soon as first figures are released after 7:30 this evening.
In reference to the photo rotation, Watauga Election chairman Luke Eggers points out that the group with signs taking reports of voting problems are not affiliated with the elections boards, and that anyone experiencing voting problems should contact the Watauga Board of Elections immediately. The number is in the previous paragraph.

Two Graduates Find Success in Unexpected Places
By Nadiah Johari
Whitney Dastrup imagined she would get a nice corporate job when she graduated. She now travels back and forth between San Francisco and India managing a small nonprofit organization that provides education to poor children. Scot Marsden, who majored in finance and economics, did not envision himself working at one of the "Big Four" accounting firms, but is now enjoying his new job at Deloitte & Touche LLP.
While their early vocational journey has taken them down unexpected paths, both said that their Huntsman education has prepared them well for their new careers.
Whitney teamed up with another USU graduate, Casey Allred, and they serve as co-directors of Effect International, an organization that builds schools in countries where they might not otherwise be available. She recently worked in Sasaram, Bihar, which is one of the oldest cities in India. The city has a literacy rate that is among the lowest in the world. Today, as a result of the efforts made by Effect International, a school serving 250 students is open and operating there.
"It's neat knowing you can make a difference, and it's inspiring to see people who understand that and are willing to contribute to our cause," Whitney said.
Whitney Dastrup with some Effect International students in India.
Whitney said her participation in the Huntsman School's Small Enterprise Education and Development (SEED) Program in Peru helped her prepare for the job she now has with Effect International. Her internship in Peru taught her how to create and evaluate business plans. She's been able to tap this experience in her new job where she has worked on five business plans, she said.
One of Whitney's duties at Effect International is running the business side of the nonprofit organization. They are preparing to launch what they call a "school-in-a-box" model, which is a new approach that has been tested in Africa. It's a market-based solution to education that would allow partners to open low-cost schools, complete with quality curriculum and teacher training programs offered by Effect International. The goal would be for each school in the chain to be profitable and self-sustaining within six months of opening.
"We try to run Effect International more like a business than a nonprofit, and people notice that," Whitney said. "We consider our organization a social business that will allow our schools to be 100% sustainable."
Scot said he has learned that Deloitte hires more than just accounting graduates, including many who majored in finance and economics so the firm can meet the varied needs of its clients.
Scot Marsden didn't expect to end up at Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Scot is an example of a student who benefited from the Huntsman School's unique opportunities. Through a Career Acceleration Trip, Scot had the opportunity to visit New York City and get connected with USU alumni who were already working in the Big Apple.
"This was a key factor in my job placement," he said. "The Huntsman School prepared me for my current position by providing me with financial and economic understanding of the investment management industry that I now work in."
Scot is working as a business risk consultant at Deloitte in New York. He said he had to go through preliminary interviews with officers from Deloitte in Salt Lake. Due to his specific interest in New York, he was referred to the New York office for final interviews. He said this is where his experience on the New York City Career Acceleration Trip helped him. He was able to get good referrals from USU alumni within Deloitte who he had met during the trip, he said.
During his senior year at USU, Scot served as the business senator for the Associated Students of Utah State University. He said the experience helped him to understand and apply leadership principles in his personal and professional life. He also said students should use the network within the Huntsman School when looking for jobs.
"Aggies are succeeding all across the world, and they are willing to do everything in their power to help you land your first job," he said. "Be aggressive in your job search, and believe in your potential."

With the holidays long gone and cross-country trips to visit family and friends now only a faded memory, today's the perfect time to fantasize about a spring break getaway. And what better way to get in the mood than to peruse photos of our favorite first-class fashionphiles? Though booking seats with extra leg room or finding a hotel with an infinity pool are certainly essential for the ideal vacay, we here at Who What Wear believe that comfortably chic travel attire is just as important! That's why we've assembled a list of ten stylish globetrotters who, with a mix of relaxed separates and smart accessories, demonstrate how to attain an easy-breezy airport look. From Eva Mendes' cozy getup to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's edgy ensemble, these stars always rack up style miles whenever they're en route. And of course, we aren't ready for takeoff without providing you with an arsenal of coveted pieces all inspired by the ladies in today's What They Wear: Airports.
WHO: Miranda Kerr
WHAT: Ready for takeoff at London's Heathrow Airport in October.
WEAR: Rag & Bone Burnout T-Shirt; denim button-down; brown blazer; Rag & Bone 61778 Skinny Jeans; Celine Cabas Shopping Tote ($1350) in burgundy; brown ankle boots.
WHY: The model/yummy mummy sports a tomboyish look at the airport, layering a boxy blazer over a denim button-down and pairing cuffed jeans with ankle boots. Nab these essentials with Club Monaco's Michele Blazer ($249) and DV by Dolce Vita's Jamison Suede Low Heel Boots ($191). If you're a fan of Kerr's standout burgundy tote by Celine, but don't want to break the bank, Latico's Mimi Top Zip Tote ($245) provides just as much room to store your passport, itinerary, and more!
WHO: Jennifer Hudson
WHAT: Snapped at Tokyo's Narita International Airport last November.
WEAR: Striped shirt; MICHAEL Michael Kors Faux Shearling-Trim Aviator Jacket ($295); black stretch leggings; MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton Large Crocodile-Embossed Tote ($298); KORS Michael Kors Channing Wedge Booties ($295) in Luggage Sport Suede.
WHY: Tissue-thin layered tops and stretch leggings are instantly glam paired with pieces-a leather jacket, croc-embossed tote, and lace-up wedges-in rich chocolate brown and caramel hues. For inspired takes on Hudson's on-the-go outfit, check out RD Style's Shearling Jacket With Knit Panels ($129) and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Miller Wedge Booties ($325).
WHO: Sienna Miller
WHAT: Landing at LAX two months ago.
WEAR: Rag & Bone/JEANThe Long Sleeve Pocket Tee ($125); Rag & Bone/JEAN Oakley Cardigan ($255) in Ivory; 7 For All Mankind Skinny Jeans; Alexander Wang Jane Zip Bag ($760); Vivienne Westwood Suede Pirate Boots ($856).
WHY: Miller is a pro at pulling off effortless style, and her recent airport ensemble is no exception. One of our favorite elements in Miller's outfit is her buckle boots, which are not only comfy for traversing across the airport, but easy to take on and off at customs! Steal Miller's relaxed It-girl style with Topshop's Knitted Chunky Cable Cardi ($120) and J. Crew's Ryder Short Buckle Boots ($248).
WHO: Eva Mendes
WHAT: Pulling up to JFK last December.
WEAR: Long sweater coat; oversized black scarf; black jeans; Salvatore Ferragamo Leather Tote Bag ($1950); tan lace-up boots.
WHY: It's no wonder Mendes cocoons herself in a chunky scarf, drapey sweater coat, and lace-up boots at the airport-those terminals can get downright chilly! We found lookalike pieces that are perfect for wearing en route, like Forever 21's Cable Knit Longline Cardigan ($30), Paula Bianco's Chunky Knit Wrap Scarf ($105), and Madison Harding's Bateman Lace-Up Boots ($275), to replicate Mendes' bundled-up garb.
WHO: Doutzen Kroes
WHAT: Spotted at Miami International Airport.
WEAR: Louis Vuitton scarf; Balenciaga leather jacket; J. Brand Low-Rise Pencil Leg Jeans ($185) in Shadow; Isabel Marant Bekket High-Top Suede Sneakers ($725); Givenchy bag.
WHY: 'Trendsetting' may not be the first word that comes to mind when one thinks of sneakers, but Kroes proves us wrong with a pair of fashion-forward kicks. If you're as besotted with her vivid red, sold-out high-tops as we are, you'll be happy to know that Isabel Marant's Willow High-Top Sneakers ($760) are quite similar, while Civic Duty's Sensation High-Top Sneaker ($59) offers a more affordable option. Of course, we can't ignore Kroes' scarf, another brilliant accessory that elevates her casual basics. Snag Diane von Furstenberg's Kenlsey Scarf ($250) to achieve the ultimate cool-girl look!
WHO: Dakota Fanning
WHAT: Strolling through LAX in December.
WEAR: Target black beanie; Miu Miu jacket with shearling collar; J Brand Stretch Velvet Leggings ($183); Valentino Rockstud Convertible Satchel ($2075); Alexander Wang Luca Ankle Boots ($875).
WHY: From her soft leather jacket with its shearling collar to her velvety dark green leggings, Fanning's outfit is a wonderful mix of rich fabrics and interesting textures. Miss Sixty's Aviator Jacket ($144) and Armani Collezioni's Casual Pants ($59) will keep you just as toasty, while ASOS' Bertie Zoona Lace Up Heeled Ankle Boots ($218) lend a touch of edge a la Fanning. Though her Alexander Wang boots are no longer available in black leather, we scoured the web to find them in brown suede ($875), an equally versatile shade.
WHO: Ashley Olsen
WHAT: Arriving at JFK with sister Mary Kate last October.
WEAR: StyleMint Broadway T-Shirt ($30) in Hibiscus; beige jacket; navy sweatpants; Hermes 40CM Birkin in Gold; black sandals.
WHY: In loose-fitting sweats and sandals, Olsen is the picture of total embarkment comfort. But the addition of a few statement pieces, like her signature Birkin bag and a polished jacket with flap patch pockets, offers a vibe far more stylish than slapdash. Pair Ali Ro's Spread Collar Trenchcoat ($205) with Splendid's Stretch Jersey Track Pants ($98) to create a similarly relaxed ensemble, then toss on jetsetter-worthy accessories like Anya Hindmarch's Pimlico Leather Tote ($1250) and Ray-Ban's Large Metal 58 mm Sunglasses ($139).
WHO: Freida Pinto
WHAT: Arriving at London's Heathrow last year.
WEAR: Tribal-inspired sweater; peach scarf; black leggings; Ralph Lauren Tiffin Bag ($2595) in black; Roger Vivier Belle De Nuit Suede Gommette Flats ($590)
WHY: Pinto jumps on the tribal bandwagon-albeit subtly-in a geometric-patterned jumper. The sweater's eye-catching print undoubtedly sets her apart from other passengers, while its slouchy silhouette allows for ease of movement onboard the flight. In other words, Pinto's ensemble is on-point and ideal for long-haul plane rides! Snag Forever 21's Patterned Boyfriend Sweater ($43) and LAMB's Runway Navajo Sweater Dress ($330) if you want Pinto's trendy, yet convenient, look.
WHO: Charlize Theron
WHAT: En route at JFK two months ago.
WEAR: Vince striped cardigan; light gray scarf; Leslie Fremar for Fruit of the Loom t-shirt; skinny jeans; Siegerson Morrison bag; Alexander Birman boots.
WHY: The beauty of Theron's lovely laidback look lies in its simplicity. Though her outfit is basic, the impeccable fit of her t-shirt, striped cardigan, and skinny jeans lends each piece an undeniable sophistication. The actress cleverly wraps up in a warm knit scarf-an in-flight must-have for so many stylish jetsetters. To emulate Theron's threads in an easily attainable way, check out Topshop's Fine Knit Cable Snood ($32) and Splendid's Chunky Club Stripe Cardigan ($85).
WHO: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
WHAT: Touching down at London's Heathrow Airport three months ago.
WEAR: Oversized patterned scarf; Burberry Tassel Bowler Bag ($2195); Helmut Lang leather leggings; Isabel Marant Dicker Suede Ankle Boots ($580) in Sage Suede.
WHY: Punch up a monochromatic uniform with a colorful purse and a generously proportioned scarf in a chic geometric print (which also serves as a cozy blanket during your flight!). Vangi's Bowler Bag ($298) and Dries van Noten's Metal Bead Scarf ($607) are both outstanding alternatives. Though Huntington-Whiteley's Isabel Marant boots are sadly no longer available in sage suede, they do come in a variety of other pleasing shades like Camel or Taupe. Or, go easy on your wallet with Steven by Steve Madden's nearly identical Pembrook Boots ($129).

Look out, Time Warner Cable customers, because a spate of increases will be tacked on to monthly bills starting in March.
The monthly broadcast cable charge will increase from $11.75 to $13.49, while standard cable will jump from $77.45 to $79.99. Digital television packages will be increased by about $3 each.
Customers received letters in the mail this month from the national cable provider, which said the raised prices are a result of the increased cost of TV programming, particularly for local broadcast stations and sports programming.
The across-the-board increases will affect all Time Warner customers except those enrolled in promotional programs. They will continue to receive discounted prices for the duration of those periods before the increased prices kick in.
The increases are due largely to increased programming costs charged to Time Warner in 2013, Central New York spokeswoman Stephanie Salanger said.
Were held captive to the programmers, and these costs represent almost half of every dollar that a customer would spend on TV services, she said. Content providers who sell us programming for customers have a dramatically higher program charge every year, and that represents almost all of the increases.
The timing for introducing the increases isnt opportune for Time Warner, which in the fall implemented a $3.95 monthly rental fee for customers who own cable modems. Postcards were sent to customers in the mail only weeks before the change was implemented in October, and they were advised to purchase their own modems if they wished to avoid the fee.
That move already will generate $500 million a year in extra revenue for Time Warner, the nations second largest cable provider with more than 15 million customers in 28 states. But the company might not get away scot-free with the plan. A dual lawsuit filed in Manhattan and Fort Lee, N.J., in November accuses the cable provider of violating its customer contracts with the charge, along with consumer fraud laws in New York and New Jersey.
Ms. Salanger said the increases in March and cable modem fees are separate revenue sources for Time Warner that are channeled to different causes.
One is for our programming networks, and one is for the equipment device, she said. And our customers had the choice on that modem lease fee to avoid it by purchasing a compatible modem. Its a tough time to raise prices with the modem fee; we get it. But our new TV prices reflect higher costs for programs that customers are willing to pay for even in a slow economy. They want more HD channels and faster Internet speeds.
She said customers will see an average increase of 2.5 percent on their bills in March.

Naval Academy Hosts STEM Family Day
Posted on: September 17, 2013 08:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
The Naval Academy STEM Office hosted its annual STEM Family Day for faculty and staff and their families Sept. 14.
Held in Rickover Hall, the event allowed the greater Naval Academy family to experience interactive STEM activities and explore the academy engineering lab spaces.
Visitors learned about biometrics and rockets, operated the SeaPerch underwater remote operated vehicle, and investigated buoyancy with aluminum foil boats. Children played with TIBot calculator robots, tried on arctic explorer gear, and built models of houses to withstand the stormy environment of the academy's wind tunnel.
"This is a great event," said Naval Academy mechanical engineering Professor Angela Moran. "The STEM program has grown significantly, and we want our own folks to know what we do, that our mission is to not only encourage more young people to pursue careers in science and engineering … and to act as a focal point for recruiting USNA team majors, but also provide STEM outreach to local and national communities."
The event also provided a great opportunity for midshipmen to fine-tune their leadership and communication skills.
"Midshipmen were constantly engaged with faculty and their kids," said Midshipman 2nd Class Matthew Lafleur. "We ensured things were running smoothly between stations and everything was being provided. Preparation was phenomenal."
The Family Day created an opportunity to highlight the STEM resources at USNA, which includes not just lab spaces, but the STEM faculty, staff and midshipmen.
"The Naval Academy has a lot to offer with regards to STEM. The laboratories are among the best in the country and should be experienced by anyone who is interested," said Lafleur. "Sparking interest at an early age can pay dividends in the future."

In a blog post shared here, D. Scott McLeod, PhD, a MassGeneral Hospital for Children psychologist and executive director of Aspire Program, says persons with ASD are no more likely to commit a violent act than persons not on the autism spectrum.
No Connection Between School Shooting and Asperger's Syndrome
Some comments have been made associating Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with the shooter in the elementary school tragedy in Newtown, CT. As an agency that provides services to people with ASD, we feel the urgency to clarify what we know and to offer advice. What we know is that there is no causal connection between the conditions known as ASD or Asperger's Syndrome with extreme violence. Persons with ASD are no more likely to commit a violent act than persons not on the spectrum. A behavior of a person does not necessarily reflect a characteristic of any group that he or she may belong to.
Since this correlation has been mentioned in press reports, persons on the spectrum may worry that they themselves will be perceived to be capable of such an atrocity. They may worry that people in the community may be afraid of them.
As has been advised numerous times, parents should initiate support of their child by listening. Listen to their questions, thoughts, worries and concerns. Children may surprise us in how they are processing what they have learned. Children can be reminded to seek the trusted helpers in their world. If they mention that they are now worried about a particular group of people, they can be reminded that while we don't know why this man did this terrible act, we must not think that this means all people with a diagnosis of ASD or Asperger's Syndrome are violent.
Although clearly we cannot guarantee safety we still seek to reassure our commitment to it.

Wide World of Golf: Bandon Preserve
Once again, the Bandon Dunes golf resort is bringing golfers something completely different.
The Bandon Preserve, a 13-hole layout along the ocean that features nothing but par threes, all with breathtaking views.
Jeff Simonds of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort says, "The routing started with 12 and then Mr. Coore and Mr. Crenshaw, they found a 13th hole, and they talked to Mr. Keiser about it, and they said great, if there's another good hole in there, then let's build it."
David Zinland adds, "It's not a sequence of holes where you feel like you've gone over the same ground before."
The concept behind the Preserve is simple. Too bushed to play 36 in a day? Arrive at the resort in the afternoon? Jump on this 13-hole circuit and play a quickie.
"We've got players who play 18 and they wanna play a little more, and don't have the energy for 36 and the time. This will just be another way you can come experience Bandon Dunes and play the right amount of golf that's good for you, " Simonds claims.
While the people at Bandon never say never, it does appear that the Preserve is the final piece in the four and a half course master plan, originally set for the resort.S
Simonds says, "We're calling it our fifth golf course, because it's going to be 13 holes, and it will 13 world class par threes. The idea is to build the best possible golf we can with the land that's out there."
In addition, the Preserve is aptly named and what the resort aims to preserve is the silvery phacelia, a plant that is being choked out by beach grass.
Schedule to open in June of 2012, this latest addition figures to be a nice accompaniment to what is now known around the world as a golfing mecca.

So here goes. I'm up nice and early, got a coffee (in the mug above) and I'm about to tackle my emails. It has been a long time coming but I've now made it to the first day of working for myself. I'm hoping this is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I'm setting myself a daily agenda so I retain some kind of timetable but with the added benefit that I'm in control of its completion. No surprise meetings, no delegating, no answering queries from readers or the team. Just me.
This morning it's all about the iPhone and its apps for a well known website as well as a popular book on the subject. Then there's a quick admin meeting over coffee... with myself. And then on to some blog posts which should fill up my afternoon. The sun is shining and I'm excited.
Let's do this!

The three Syrian journalists said they have now joined ranks with the revolution and stated they left Syria fearing for their lives after planning to quit their jobs in protest at ongoing bloodshed and violence perpetrated by the regime of Syrian president Bachar al-Assad. More than 45,000 people have been killed in Syria since the outbreak in March 2011 of an anti-regime revolt that became a bloody insurgency after a brutal crackdown on dissent, a watchdog said on December 26.

Here's an expression on the president you probably haven't seen before: He's imitating gymnast McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" look.
The president met with members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics team on Thursday. The White House released the photo Saturday.
Maroney's astounding skills on the vault helped the team win gold, but during individual events, she won a silver in her signature event. During the medal ceremony, she was caught with the now infamous "not impressed face" that went viral.
After meeting with Obama, she tweeted, "Did I just do the not impressed face with the president?"

CrockPot Salsa Chicken Recipe
Day 177.
I got an email last week from Beckie, who suggested that I make her salsa chicken recipe. I'm so glad that I did! This is a super easy, super delicious meal, that is very low in fat, and filling. We had it over some rice, and scooped up the extra sauce with corn tortillas.
The Ingredients.
--6-9 chicken thighs, or equivalent body parts
--1 can rinsed black beans
--1 cup chunky salsa
--1 cup frozen white corn
The Directions.
Put your chicken in the crockpot; mine was still frozen. Top with the rinsed black beans, salsa, and corn.
Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours, or on high for 4-5. Cooking time will vary depending on whether or not your chicken is frozen, and how big the pieces are.
If you decide to use breasts, increase your salsa by 1/2 cup. Breasts are drier than thighs.
The Verdict.
This was a really yummy dish, and I liked how low in fat it was. If you don't have enough meat in the house, or would like to stretch the dish, you can add a 1/2 block of cream cheese, a cup of sour cream, or a can of cream-of-something soup to the ingredients. I really liked it like this, though---but I know that I've made something similar in the past with a creamyish sauce.
Thank you, Beckie! This was a great meal for my family, and I'm enjoying the leftovers as nacho topping.

This is one of our favorite dishes at home as well! We shred the chicken and serve it between two corn tortillas with melted cheese on top...a modified enchilada!
- June 25, 2008 at 7:25 AM
Hi! I love your blog! I just made this a couple of weeks ago and it's so good! Like John, I shredded the chicken - I think it would be great for tacos, or on a salad. I wrapped the meat in flour tortillas, sprayed them with Pam, and cooked them up in the oven for a healthier chicken chimi (my hubby's fave mexican food). I'm going to try John's modified enchilada too. Thanks for all the great ideas!

- MaryLu said...
I have thighs and legs at home, does it matter if they are bone-in or boneless? Sounds like a great day for it at our house.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all these great ideas, my summer is turning out to being quite busy, I'm loving all these ideas, (and my crockpot stays on the counter now instead of the dark recesses of the cupboard!)
- June 25, 2008 at 8:13 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
John, and anon, yum!!! I'm going to do that with the leftovers for lunch.
Mary Lu, yup, bone-in will work just fine. The thighs I had in the house have bones.
- June 25, 2008 at 8:46 AM
This is one of our favorites as well! We usually just top the chicken with salsa and then serve over Mexican rice with cheese and sour cream. So delicious, and ridiculously easy!
- June 25, 2008 at 10:00 AM
- roxyzrockett said...
I do mine like this but veggie style and instead of chicken I just use kidney beans and simmer all the ingredients before putting them over rice or in taco shells.
- June 25, 2008 at 11:26 AM
- Dee said...
When I saw this it reminded me of how I often make enchiladas. I simply put chicken (beef, pork) into crock with salsa of choice.
At dinner time I wrap meat and usually some cheese in tortillas, cover with enchilada sauce and cheese and bake. My family really likes this meal. I am going to try using this recipe as the filling with pinto beans instead of black beans.
I am really enjoying this blog - thank you so much.

Dearest crockpot lady. I have a confession, I am obsessed with your blog. You are truly amazing. I finally tried one of your recipes on Monday. The brocolli cheese soup was seriously yummy. I am making the "cheeseburger" chicken today. My house smells really good right now. Thank you for all of your hard work. Keep it up.
- June 25, 2008 at 1:41 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
kixie, that sounds wonderful!
roxy, what a great idea. I need to make more vegetarian recipes--I tried to get veg broth today for a soup, and there WASN'T any in the whole store. Isn't that weird? gotta go back to Trader Joe's...
oh dee, that sounds amazing.
reality junkie, lol! that's is so funny. I am thrilled that you like my recipes. I'm having a lot of fun with this project.
- June 25, 2008 at 2:44 PM
We just made this dish today. It was SO great!
- June 25, 2008 at 3:52 PM
- Katrina said...
oooh, yum! I definitely need to try this one!
- June 25, 2008 at 4:16 PM
- ICanDoThis said...
This looks great and easy. I'll have to try it one night. I bet you could make a crockpot mexican soup using the same ingreds with some chicken broth and maybe some sour cream to top it off.

I have been lurking on your site for a month or so now, and you have totally won me over -- we just bought a slow cooker on the weekend and I think this will be the first recipe we try!
I do have a question for you, though -- the instructions for our slow cooker said not to use frozen meat, but many of your recipes seem to -- can I ignore the instructions and forge ahead anyway?!
Many thanks!
- June 26, 2008 at 6:22 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi cath, congratulations on your new family member! In Crock-Pot's FAQs, they state that it's okay to use frozen meat, and I always have. You need to do what feels right for you and your family----I think they are worried about bacteria, and that is a valid concern. From what I've read, as long as you cook the meat thoroughly, there isn't much of a risk of the "food danger zone" ---but of course do your own research and do what you feel is right. ;-)
how's that for not really answering the question...?
- June 26, 2008 at 6:49 AM
- Petunia Bloom said...
I made this dish for lunch today. It was amazing. I made it with wings because I had some in my freezer I needed to get rid of. Don't worry, I took the skin off! We added a little sour cream to take the edge off because I used a pretty spicy salsa. Thanks for the great lunch idea.
- June 26, 2008 at 12:17 PM
We made this tonight for dinner, and my husband, who detests meat cooked in the crockpot, LOVED it! I'm totally in love with your website and actually feel like less of a failure as a cook because of it! :)
- June 26, 2008 at 7:23 PM
I made this the other day but we only had about 1/2 cup salsa, so I added the juice of one lime. It was really good! I had mine over rice with a little cheese on top :)
- June 29, 2008 at 7:05 AM
- Ali said...
I made this for dinner last night. It was soo yummy! I used chicken breasts since that's what we had and it turned out great. We served it over rice with Mexican cheese on top. I can't wait for leftovers tonight!

I made his Sunday when we had record breaking heat of 99 on June 30. That is hot for Montana! Anyway it was wonderful. I served it over rice. I had some today for lunch over leftover quinoa pasta. Thank you I love my crockpots too!!! And Creme Brulet is my favorite also, I can't wait to try it. Kathy

So funny, I just blogged a very similar recipe last week. I turn mine into taco salad. I serve it with 2 crisp corn tortillas and make a sauce out of sour cream, salsa and lime. It's so yummy!
- July 5, 2008 at 7:29 PM
This is one of my favorite dishes. And I have always used frozen chicken breasts. I just make sure the temp of the chicken is 160. I make enough for several meals. It is great to freeze for meals later. Great rolled up on tortillas with sour cream and cheese. We almost always shred it for our different meals. My son had the bright idea of using it as a dip for tortilla chips. Warning though. Once you start you can't stop. Thanks for the great web site and all the recipies!!! You have done a great job!!!
- July 9, 2008 at 10:09 PM
- Samantha said...
I shredded the chicken and served it open faced on a tortilla with cheese on top. I put it in the oven for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese and served with more salsa and sour cream on top. It was great!

- ~M said...
Hi again Stephanie!
I already have crockpot-cooked corn leftover from your other recipe. Do you think it would work to use that corn here? Would you add it in the beginning or when it's all done cooking to briefly heat it up? Thanks!
- July 20, 2008 at 12:16 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi ~M! Do you mean corn that you cut from the cob? My best bet would be to toss it in during the last 30 min of cooking time---just so it has heated through. If you aren't home, go ahead and toss it in, but realize that it while it will tate good, it won't have any crunch left.
- July 20, 2008 at 1:37 PM
Delicious!! Very easy, and my husband and I love the way the chicken is all moist and tender. I'd try this one again, no question.
- July 25, 2008 at 12:01 PM
I just recently found your site and tried this recipe first. OH MY GOSH! SO YUMMY! I used 2 breasts, as it's just my husband and I, and added some cream cheese like you suggested and an extra 1/2 cup of salsa. It was a little dry, but we're definitely going to try it again and add a little more salsa probably. Thank yoU! I look forward to trying the other ones!
- August 5, 2008 at 3:45 PM
- Laura-IH said...
Yum! I just tried this, and it was so good! I shredded the chicken and served it wrapped up in tortillas! Delicious! Thanks!
- September 2, 2008 at 10:04 AM
- Catherine said...
I made this dish last night and I only made a few modifications (I am Modification Woman!). I added a can of green chilies that I had laying around and I also increased the salsa to about 2 cups. I used skinless, boneless chicken tenders and shredded them when we were ready to eat. WOW it was delicious! I served it with rice, home-made tortillas and tortilla chips to give everyone options. And of course there was cheese and sour cream on the table. A great meal without all that standing around!
- September 5, 2008 at 6:57 AM
I am so glad i made this. I put it on before I left for work. The family really enjoyed this and I had leftovers, which as the other posts say make an awesome taco, enchilada, etc.
- September 7, 2008 at 7:31 PM
Loved it! I used fresh salsa from Trader Joe's and added a couple of cubes of the frozen cilantro they have there too. Perfect! The cilantro added a little somethin' somethin'. Try it!
Also, I wanted to echo my love for this blog. My husband and I love to go mountain biking after work for a couple of hours. This works great! I can work up a sweat and then have dinner made for us when we get home! Nothing worse than cooking when you are hungry and dirty from the trail!
My new resolution is to use one of your recipes once a week!!
Never stop blogging. I'll go through withdrawal. :)

This is my all time favorite. I had to check your blog if you have made this recipe and you have! So I will comment..
I always use chicken breast and also add pinto beans and black beans together and with corn. If I dont have corn, beans and salsa is still delish alone. I change this recipe around alot and it still comes out very tasty. I use low fat cheese and non fat sour cream..over NO RICE because one cup of rice is a whopping four points with the WW program. So I just stick with just chicken and salsa mixture alone and I am in heaven! I LOVE this dish. Its the BEST! :)
Also this is a very pretty dish!

I finally made this today. I was skeptical but it was really very good. Ended up deboning the legs and thighs before serving. Delicious as a topping over Mexican rice. Yummmmm!
- September 30, 2008 at 6:09 PM
Stephanie, I love your blog, ordered your book, and look forward to seeing what you make each day. Thank you.
About this meal, last night, I made a variation using pinto beans (I am only black bean person in family), frozen chicken breasts, and salsa (forgot to buy corn). I served it over rice with sour cream, and shredded cheese on the table.
As a bonus, husband was really late, and it held well in the crockpot.
This was one of the few meals, we all enjoyed. Daughter even came for seconds. Thanks again.

This turned out great for a dinner party I had with a mexican theme. I added a little bit more salt since mine wasn't salty enough. It was delicious! Thanks for keeping this website up! I really appreciate it and love it!
- November 16, 2008 at 11:12 AM
- Catherine said...
I made "this" again, but (again) modified it and used Pinto beans instead of black beans and used about a pound of hamburger meat instead of chicken. Totally different meal, but still good. However, if I did this again, I would brown the beef first and rinse it because it was way fattier than it needed to be.
- November 24, 2008 at 1:15 PM
Thanks for referring back to this in your "Crockpot Diet" post. I was looking for something easy and healthy to make for dinner last night and this fit the bill perfectly.
I used chicken tenders because they were on sale and because they cook quicker. 2 hours on high and we had a wonderful meal. This will definitely go into rotation as a classic crockpot standby recipe.
Next time I might experiment with adding spices or trying different types of salsa. It's still great on its own; I just like to mess with things :)
Thanks again!

Hello there! I love your blog! I just found this from a comment someone made on Facebook. This was the first recipe I made...came out so tender and delicious.
- February 4, 2009 at 1:02 PM
I made this Monday and hubby and I LOVED it! Kids didnt care for it as they dont like beans or corn, and dont care for chicken much either =) I cut up my boneless skinless chicken breasts into strips, put it in the crockpot w/ 1c salsa, 1 can black beans and a can of corn, then I stirred it all together. Cooked on low for 4 hours and high for 1. Shredded it and served it on warm tortilla shells w/ cheese-YUMMY!!! -hubby said it would taste really good over rice too
- March 19, 2009 at 10:28 AM
- The Allens said...
This was super yummy. I made it with frozen chicken breasts and trippled the amount of salsa but kept everything else the same. We also kept the leftovers in the fridge for a few days and then ate it shredded on tortillas. They were even better a few days later after marinating in the salsa for a few days. Thanks so much for your recipes!

Hello! I love your blog, and this is the first recipe I tried.
This is really, really good. It's tasty and doesn't require cutting/chopping (I did remove fat from the chicken, but it was optional). There are days when I don't feel like using a knife or cutting board, and this is a perfect recipe for those days.
I posted a link to this page on my blog. I hope it was OK.
- April 28, 2009 at 4:38 PM
WOW! I just tried this tonight for our Cinco de Mayo celebration and it was amazing! I started to worry that it wouldn't be flavorful enough since no spices were added but it was very full of flavor. I added sour cream as you suggested and also some fresh jalapeno slices I had on hand for the last couple of hours. I made rice for it and the flavors blended excellently. I added cheese to mine but hubby didn't. Both of us LOVED IT! He said, "You can make this anytime!" :)
Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

I made this the other night, and it was delicious! I loved how it only had 4 ingredients. I did use chicken breasts, and it was wonderful. We will definitely be making this again!

love love love this recipe! I made it a few weeks ago & my family has been asking for it ever since so I'm making it for tonight. This time I doubled it so we have leftovers. We're a family with 3 Boys, so as you can imagine this went very quickly the first time around! lol
- October 20, 2009 at 11:44 AM
- Jenn said...
Oh, I forgot to add that when I serve this, I plate it up on top of flat corn tostada shells & garnish with shredded cheese, avaocado, sour cream & cilantro. Sooo good!!
- October 20, 2009 at 12:05 PM
I have a silly question- I don't ever see anyone using canned corn in crockpot recipes, but we have a ton of canned corn in the house. Is it OK to substitute canned?
- November 15, 2009 at 7:14 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
hi Anon,
not a silly question! Go ahead and use it. For this recipe, drain it first.
- November 15, 2009 at 7:39 PM
This is definitely one of my favorites to make and eat. I shred the chicken and eat it over rice or with cheese and sour cream on tortillas. This is also a healthy dish if you don't add too many things to it!!
- December 10, 2009 at 7:54 PM
If I could make a suggestion.. This is one of my favorite recipes & I sent my friend to your website for it. She could not find it & so figuring she was just not searching properly, I came to search for it & couldn't find it either! I tried searching for Salsa Chicken & only came up with the Salsa & Black Bean soup recipe & some other ones. It's also not under the chicken category! I panicked for a moment b/c I thought it was gone but was able to find it in an email that I had sent to someone with the link.. whew! So is there any way you could you add it to the chicken category or make it searchable when someone puts in salsa chicken? thanks!!
- December 13, 2009 at 5:34 PM
I love your blog and I loved the Salsa Chicken and black Bean Soup; I made that a few days ago so now I'm attempting this recipe...I just threw in what I had which was 2 large frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 can of black beans, 1 can of pinto beans, 1 can of creamed corn, 1 jar of salsa, 1 can of cheddar cheese soup & am cooking on high for 5 hours; will serve with rice and/or to fill some whole grain tortillas I have; am hoping it comes out tasting as good as it looks :)
- January 22, 2010 at 8:54 AM
I also made this last week - was a big hint - used peach mango salsa, corn and black beans. my recipe also added a block of cream cheese (neufatchel cheese in my case) at the end and stir in after it melts. yummm - served with rice, in tortillas and on salads as leftovers. the peach mango salsa was a bit sweet - so might have needed something like lime or spice to cut it.
Thanks - love this blog

I am enjoying this now, but did need to add some spices--I guess my salsa didn't have enough kick. I added some mexican spices, and it's fabulous. Thanks!

Made this today--it was so easy! I put it in before my spin class this morning--I love having dinner basically done at 7am and with only 5 min. of work! I used frozen chicken breasts, canned corn, 1 and a half cups of salsa, and kidney beans and ate it with corn tortillas and shredded cheese. Really tasty and healthy meal, I'm looking forward to finishing it off this week! Your site is such a godsend, thank you!!

I made this the other night for dinner & served it as is with cilantro lime rice & adobo snap peas. YUM! There were 2 breasts left over, so I shredded them into the leftover sauce and ate some for lunch today between two pieces of tuscan bread that was leftover from last nights dinner - it was AMAZING!!! It was like "Mexican Sloppy Joes". Both meals were really good, but I will DEFINITELY be making the sloppy joe version for upcoming parties!!! THANK YOU!
- October 19, 2010 at 11:22 AM
This has become a favorite in our house too! We eat it over rice with crushed tortilla chips sprinkled on top! Mmmmmm!
- November 29, 2010 at 6:28 AM
I've was inspired to purchase a crock pot by several other blogs I read and then I found this project while looking for recipes. This was the first recipe I made to break in my new toy and my boyfriend RAVED about it. I added a can of cream of chicken soup so it was really creamy, and we cut up the chicken the next day and put all of it in tortillas, topped with green chile enchilada sauce, and cheese and I got more praise! This is coming from the guy who usually says, "that was good but maybe we should try ___ next time." Thanks so much for making him (and me) a happy camper... 2 of our favorite meals out of one recipe!
- December 6, 2010 at 8:19 PM
I just bought a crockpot and this was actually my 2nd recipe I used. Overall it came out pretty good but I think I burnt the beans ... I'm assuming it's because I cooked the dish too long and not because I needed to add water ??
- January 3, 2011 at 4:26 PM
I am so glad I was pointed to your blog. I have made several of your recipes and modified them for my family. Most of them have been a big hit! Thank you! I am making this one tomorrow because we all love salsa chicken. YUM! Thank you again!
- April 25, 2011 at 9:17 PM
I just found your blog and so far I am loving it. I also shared it with my mom and sister. We have a 2 month old and she doesn't let me have much time for cooking so these recipes are perfect.
I made this a few nights ago (made the Brown Sugar Chicken tonight). I had to make a few changes based on what I had in the house and wanted to share them with you. I didn't have a can of black beans so I used a black bean and rice mix which actually saved me time making the rice on the side. My husband and I like a local company's pineapple salsa so instead of chicken broth I added pineapple chunks and the juice. It turned out really good. I can't wait to try more.

I have this in the crockpot now and the house smells great! I used boneless skinless chicken thighs. Planning on serving it over rice with cheese on top. Thanks for the great recipes.

I made this yesterday and it smelled AMAZING. I used chicken breast and the meat was totally falling apart, it was so tender. I'm not GF so I put it in a low-carb tortilla with a little bit of brown rice and it was like heaven! Awesome recipe. I did put a 1/4 cup of sour cream to make it slightly creamy... even my one year old wanted more!!!

Have you ever used dried beans that were soaked overnight? I'm loving using dried beans but I hate the idea of cooking them separately before putting them in the slow cooker. Just curious if that would work.

Joyful- I was wondering the same thing about using dry beans. I tried it today, and it came out wonderfully! I used about 2.25 cups of salsa to make sure there was enough liquid for the beans. I cooked everything on high for about 3 hours and then turned to low for another 5 hours (I'm sure they were done way earlier though). I also put the beans on the bottom of the crockpot to make sure they got the most heat.
Stephanie- Thanks so much for your wonderful recipes! I have enjoyed many of them and spent countless hours browsing through others!

This was fantastic! I threw in 5 large bone-in chicken thighs, 12 oz of salsa (in lieu of corn), and a drained and rinsed can of kidney beans because I ran out of black beans. It turned out a lot like pulled pork because the chicken fell off the bone and shredded quite easily. Thought I might be disappointed with the kidney beans, but I wasn't. Had a dish straight, then had one over a bed of Arugula, which made the flavors brighter.

I recently had surgery and was frantically searching for prepare ahead crock pot meals so that my daughter and I didn't starve during the time following my surgery when I wasn't able to cook. My husband works 2nd shift so isn't around to cook for us in the evening.
I came across your blog and borrowed a few of your recipes. This salsa chicken was by far our favorite and I think I will be adding it into my rotation of dishes I prepare regularly. I did use breasts as I couldn't find boneless thighs and didn't want to deal with bones. I also think that next time I make it I am going to shred the chicken and roll the mixture up in a tortilla with some cheese and sour cream for a nice burrito. The only complaint I had was that I used mild salsa as I'm not one for spicy things, but it cooked down so much that it was actually a little bland. Next time I'm going for the hot stuff!

Thanks for the tip. Turning off slow key solved my problem.
I see now it's a "feature" of KDE accessibility tool. I probably activated it by pressing the shift key for 8 seconds. This is the mesage I got after turning it off:
Warning - KDE Accessibility Tool
Do you really want to activate "Slow Keys"?
You held down the shift key for 8 seconds ...
There is an option to "Deactivate All AccessX Features & Gestures."
I also see an option to disable AccessX features in:
Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Accessibility
Uncheck Activation Gestures -> Use gestures for activating sticky keys and slow keys.

AKRON -- Teaching children good habits at an early age is so important.
But how about having the kids take those good habits they learn and teach the rest of us?
A program in Akron does just that.
181 pre-schoolers at the Shaw Jewish Community Center of Akron are now involved in the Discover CATCH program.
"CATCH is about relationships," says Lori Bernstein, Director of Early Childhood and Children Services JCC. "It's about our relationship with ourselves. It's about how we work with each other. It's about how we work with our environment and our community."
CATCH stands for the Coordinated Approach to Child Health. The JCC of Akron initiated it just last year and was one of the first in the country to do so.
"We work with them in the gardens 'Ha'achalat Re'evim,' feeding the hungry, we work with the value-- 'Shmirat Haguf,' which is taking care of our bodies so that we can be productive learners and participants in the community," Bernstein continues.
Discover CATCH promotes healthy eating and physical activity and teaches little ones how to be healthy for a lifetime.
"Whether it's the meals that we feed them, the activities we do through sports and recreation, the transition into our day camp programming," says Stephanie Davis-Dieringer, Health and Wellness Director at the JCC. "It's woven into absolutely everything they do here at the JCC - whether they know it or not."
There are 7000 members of all ages that belong to Shaw Jewish Community Center -- 80 percent are not Jewish -- they are open to everyone.

How to select the best internet provider
Do you know how to select the best internet provider for your needs? There is DSL, cable, and satellite providers. Internet providers are vying for your business, and rates are good as competition heats up. DSL offers faster speeds and dedicated bandwidth. Cable companies can be convenient but the shared bandwidth can slow you down at peak times as there are many users…and it can be more expensive than DSL internet providers. The best internet providers in my area…how do I find them? Some things to consider are the type of internet use you desire…gaming, streaming movies, or simple web searches. Many companies are offering bundle specials so it is best to do an internet search to find the offer that is right for you. The best Phoenix internet providers will have a variety of speeds and usage levels based on what you are looking for. You can save money if you do not require ultra high speeds or large monthly allowances for usage. Many do offer unlimited currently, although some will give discounts for lower limits. Avoid long term contracts! Many companies require at least a one year contract, some are two or more or you can face some penalties for early disconnect. Watch the deals offering low monthly pricing for the first 6 months…read the fine print as the price usually goes up after and you are locked in for up to 2 years. Sometimes it is best to pay a little more up front and avoid the contract. The best Phoenix internet providers and most reputable companies will not try to trick you. What about protection! Finally you want to make sure your Phoenix internet provider offers filters and protection…especially if you have children so you have to ability to limit their activity online. Ensure the ISP also has spam filters and virus blockers available to protect your computer and other devices while surfing. It does ultimately come down to your individual needs and your families needs. With children in school the need for internet service is almost mandatory for everyone. Choose based on what you will be using it for much like you would with any other purchase. If the provider does not meed your needs it can lead to an unpleasant and costly experience.

We have a GUI based socketserver.sh service, This service must be run in GUI based only like in KDE, GNOME and X11 based only. I am sure about this service coudn't work on Linux Text based terminal. Only work on X-terminal windows. Because We had tried using Text-mode these service coudn't work. After that We have tried on KDE X-terminal it will work fine. (Just Double click on that .sh file it will be execute.)
We tested the Our GUI service which have try to start through Text Based Terminal (Run Level 3).
> It is throwing this exception - which means that the graphics
> environment is not available to it.
The exception -
> [ Class Name : BarChart_JPEG Method Name : creatingBufferedImageObj ]
> Log : Barcharts Server is not started through X11 enviornment. Can't
> connect to X11 window server using 'localhost:10.0' as the value of
> the DISPLAY variable.
Now we want to run these service duing linux boot process (like other linux service run in boot process eg. network, sendmail, smb, httpd etc.)
We have tried following option to run our .sh file during linux boot process.
1) In /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/root/SocketServer/./Socketserver.sh # (My .sh file path)
But it is not working.
2) In /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
ln -s /root/SocketServer/./Socketserver.sh S99socketserver
we create a symbolik link with our .sh file and run after all service running.
But it is not working.
In this case our Linux Server is in Onsite Location. We don't have GUI based access like VNC, Xserver etc. Right now we are accessing our machine Using SSH (22).
And even no human body is touch physically to enter username and password.
Additon Information :
1) We are accessing our Linux Server from our Onsite Location using SSH.
2) Currnetly My Linux server RunLevel is 5 (Default Graphcally Interface)
Required Solution :
1) Is there any way we can start our service during linux bootup process.
Hope you will get proper senario.
Thanks in Advance.
Pls. respond me as earlier as possible

According to a recent blog post from Motorola, the company will limit ICS updates to just the handsets it believes will benefit from the change. For example, the Droid 3, Droid Pro and Milestone 3 will remain on Android 2.3 (a.k.a. Gingerbread), while some phones will keep versions of Android as far back as Android 1.5 and 2.1.
Discover the latest innovative protection solutions for Motorola cell phones ... stylish top brand bags, sleeves as well as cases and skins specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Here is the explanation in Motorola's words: "You may be wondering why all devices aren't being upgraded to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Here's the deal. We work very closely with Google and cell phone carriers for every software update. And, obviously we want the new release to improve our devices. If we determine that can't be done—well then, we're not able to upgrade that particular device."
To date, the only device that has received its update to Android 4.0 is the WiFi-only XOOM (and only the US and Canadian versions). All other devices remain in one of their four stages: development, test in-house, carrier test and release. (A beta field test may also be inserted between stages 3 and 4.)
Motorola has probably been the most candid and thorough device manufacturer when it comes to Android upgrade plans. Motorola has been good about maintaining their device update page found in their forums. Here is a summary of their ICS roll-out plans as of this month:
Android 4.0 update Q2 2012
Motorola XOOM WiFi-Only (Asia Pacific, China, EMEA, Japan & LATAM)
Motorola XOOM (Verizon)
Motorola RAZR (Asia Pacific, Canada, China, EMEA, Japan, Korea & LATAM)
Motorola DROID RAZR Maxx (Verizon)
Motorola MT917 (China)
Motorola XT928 (China)
Android 4.0 update Q3 2012
Motorola Atrix 4G (USA)
Motorola Atrix 2 (Asia-Pacific, LATAM, USA, and selected other markets)
Motorola XOOM Family Edition (USA)
Motorola XOOM 2 (Asia Pacific, EMEA, and LATAM)
Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition (Asia Pacific, EMEA, and LATAM)
Motorola Xyboard 8.2 (USA)
Motorola Xyboard 10.1 (USA)
Motorola DROID Bionic (Verizon)
Motorola DROID 4 (Verizon)
Motorola DROID Xyboard 8.2 (Verizon)
Motorola DROID Xyboard 10.1 (Verizon)
Android 4.0 update Q4 2012
Motorola Photon 4G (USA)
Devices that have no assigned dates (and no update guarantees)
Motorola Atrix/Atrix 4G (Asia Pacific, EMEA and LATAM)
Motorola Electrify (USA)
Motorola Photon 4G (Japan)
Motorola XOOM WiFi + 3G (Asia Pacific, EMEA and LATAM)
Motorola devices that will NOT get updated to Android 4.0
Motorola Admiral
Motorola Charm
Motorola DROID 3
Motorola DROID X2
Motorola Flipout
Motorola Milestone A854/A953
Motorola Milestone XT720/XT701/XT711
Motorola XT605
Motorola XT615 / XT685 / MOTOLUXE
Motorola XT882
Motorola MT870
Motorola Milestone X2
Motorola Pro+
Motorola Devour
Motorola Cliq XT
Motorola i1
Motorola Dext
Motorola Quench MB501/XT5 XT502/XT3 XT502
Motorola Defy MB525 (Europe & MEA)
How much the Google buyout of Motorola will affect the release schedule is anyone's guess. Google is very good at raising the bar, so we hope they lay some Google ambition on Motorola's organization.
Keep up the good performance of Motorola's line up of smartphones with device protection accessories like sleeves, cases, and skins. Keep them charged and ready to carry out their duties with desktop chargers, wall chargersand car chargers at prices that will prove you can afford more than you think.

|Armed Men Sought in Avery Home Invasion
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 01 November 2012 05:43
The Avery Sheriff's Office is investigating an armed home invasion from last weekend in which an elderly Elk Park woman was robbed. The Sheriff's Office is asking for information through High Country Crimestoppers, saying that on Sunday, October 28th at around 10 p.m., two men
wearing gloves and ski masks forced their way into the Davis Street home of the elderly woman through an unlocked door. They were armed with a small handgun, the victim telling investigators that one man pointed the handgun at her forehead and demanded money, while the other man cut the phone line to the house inside the dwelling. The suspects left the house without harming the woman, taking an undisclosed amount of cash that the woman kept in her bedroom, according to the investigators. Anyone with information regarding this home invasion are asked to call the High Country Crimestoppers Hotline at (828) 737-0125 or the Avery County Sheriff's Office at (828) 733-2071. All callers can remain anonymous. Callers are eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to the arrest of suspects, recovery of stolen property or the seizure of illegal drugs. In September, High Country Crimestoppers paid out several hundred dollars to callers that provided information to investigators.

While this design doesn\'t push the boundaries and sticks with a fairly standard formula it\'s worth noting the high quality of photograph used. The body illustration on the right is an interesting touch.Posted in Web Design → Corporate
A brilliant business card! It uses subtle detail and a great logo to make an impact. The \'Hand\' logo works especially well in white on a black background.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A site that needs using to fully understand the design - with each section coming to life as your scroll over it. I love the contrast of the blue and red with the black and grey of the rest of the site.Posted in Web Design → Misc
This is a fun, if slightly gruesome, logo. The big and bold font works well and makes you want to read it! I love the graphical representation of the brain and the fun nature of the overall design.Posted in Branding → Logo
An outstanding design portfolio site. Immediately draws your attention to the dramatic design in the centre and leads you to enquire further. The use of polaroids as thumbnails is great and I also like the contrast of the bright primary colours with the black and white interface of the site.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
A very stylish business card that utilises a simple crest logo. I love the way it has a clear focal point that grabs your attention! The text on the back could be made clearer, but nonetheless a classy design!Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A great looking post card site. The images have a delightful hand-drawn feel and really grab your attention. One design element that really appeals to me is the use of custom drawn Facebook and Twitter badges.Posted in Web Design → Design
A clear and beautiful iPad interface is what Things brings to the table. I like the simple use of colour to highlight key sections of the design. I find the custom icons give the App character while the inclusion of a \'Someday\' tab is great!Posted in Interface → iPad App
A stylish App that serves as a universal clipboard. As with all the Tapbot Apps the interface is well designed and looks great! I particularly like the subtly customised buttons.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
A basic but sharp logo design that uses the company letter as the focal point. The use of lime green works to add interest to an otherwise relatively straightforward design. The font is interesting, and benefits from the reflection effect, but is still very readable.Posted in Branding → Logo
An iPad App that\'s designed around having a beautiful interface! The huge clock numbers look great and the simple layout works very well. The black and white does work reasonably well but could use a colour accent.Posted in Interface → iPad App
A stylish business card perfectly suited to a designer. The use of orange on black really helps to make a statement. I love the detail on the front of the card and how it\'s been displayed here!Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A confident logo for a graphic design company. I love the formation of the logo from the company name and how abstract it looks at first. The detail that frames the logo is great!Posted in Branding → Logo
A clear and bold logo design. The use of colour solely in the logo helps it to make an impact while the straight edges of the cart contrast well with the custom typeface of the text. I love the way this logo transforms its key letter (an \'e\') into a recognisable image.Posted in Branding → Logo
A relatively simple but still intriguing business card for a graphic designer. The use of just two focal colours makes a bold statement and is to its merit. It succeeds in keeping its text clear and readable while keeping the overall design sleek.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
This musical App is a great example of stunning interface design. I love the graphical detail and the way the transparent black boxes are contrasted with the wood effect background. I particularly like the simple but clear icons on the tab bar.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
A great twist on using headphones in a logo. The use of orange and white is bold and works well alongside the relatively simple lines of the logo. I am unsure how well the text works, the typeface is clear but somehow the orange letters don\'t work for me.Posted in Branding → Logo
A very stylish site with an intuitive layout. The \'Ally\' logo is a great piece of design while the ever-changing central picture holds your attention. I particularly like how the large amount of empty space surrounding the header allows your attention to be drawn to the focal point of the site.Posted in Web Design → Design
The superb detail on this business card really grabs your attention. Unfortunately it\'s slightly let down by how difficult it is to read the text. Nonetheless I think the colour palette is great and that, overall, the design works.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A clear and stylish corporate web design with excellent custom icons and an animated header. I like the clean layout of the site and its colour swatch. The animated white dots (while essentially superfluous) are a nice detail.Posted in Web Design → Corporate

The Appalachian State University baseball team was denied its chance of reaching the Southern Conference tournament finals on Saturday night.

The Catamounts (37-20-1), who were victimized by ASU on Saturday morning, losing 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, returned the favor in game two.
