â¢Abajo Mountains. Anglers report improving fishing conditions at the Blanding area reservoirs. Trout are taking almost anything presented.
â¢Cleveland Reservoir. Anglers report fair fishing for rainbows up to 13 inches. Fly fishermen may want to try a size eight beadhead Canada blood leech on slow-sinking line.
â¢Fairview Lakes. There are no recent reports. The best fishing will be from a tube or toon. Baitcasters should try orange or rainbow PowerBait. Fly fishermen will have the best luck fishing a red crystal bugger or Canada brown leech on sinking line with fast strips. Rainbows get up to 14 inches.
â¢Huntington Creek. The brown trout are in spawning condition, and Anglers continue to report good fishing on the right fork. Fly fishing with a hares ear on floating line will produce the best action. More than 90 percent of the fish in Huntington Creek will be brown trout, with cutthroats making up the balance. Trout range from eight to14 inches. Huntington Creek has special regulations for the upper right and left forks. If you aren't familiar with the fishing regulations, please take along a proclamation.
â¢Mammoth Reservoir. Tom Ogden fished from a tube on Oct. 9 and caught five tigers in four hours. These included a 10-inch tiger and four tigers ranging from 12-15 inches. Tom used sinking line and a black and tan Sheep Creek Special. This water has special regulations: All cutthroat trout or trout with cutthroat markings must be immediately released.
â¢Joes Valley Reservoir. Regional Aquatics Program Manager Paul Birdsey fished Joes Valley Reservoir last weekend with two other anglers, and the three anglers caught seven fish in two hours. The catch consisted of splake and cutthroat trout, ranging from 11-15 inches. The party fished from the shore and used a jig/chub combination and a crawdad-imitating crankbait. Paul rated fishing success as good. Traditionally, fishing improves with the onset of colder weather. In order to safeguard the biggest chub, eating splake during their pseudo-spawn, the reservoir will be closed to fishing from Nov. 1 until Dec. 13, the second Saturday in December. Paul Birdsey suggests fishing Lowry Water during the closure, which attracts a lot of running tigers up to 15-inches that can be caught with nightcrawlers. Joes Valley Reservoir has special regulations. Please refer to the 2008 Fishing Guidebook for more details.
â¢La Sal Mountains. Sergeant J. Shirley reports good trout fishing at Kens Lake with spinners and bait. Very few people are fishing La Sal Mountain lakes, even though the trout appear to be active and hungry.
â¢Lower Fish Creek. Try using floating line and a size 10-12 beadhead Montana or size 12 beadhead hares ear. 12-15 inch brown trout are predominant, but there are some cutts.
â¢Scofield Reservoir. Anglers report that fall fishing is much slower this year than in previous years. Richard Limone of Price reported that most of the trout he and his friends have taken this fall have had empty stomachs, which could suggest that the rapidly growing chub population may be out-competing trout for food and space. Tom Ogden fly fished from a tube on Oct. 8 with a slow-sinking line and a size eight beadhead Sheep Creek Special in green and black or black and tan. In four hours, Tom caught four trout ranging from 13-17 inches. Tom said that anglers trolling from boats had better success than those on shore.

Did you know that one in every three U.S. adults has suffered from high blood pressure, a major risk factor for stroke? And, stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
Those facts came straight from the American Stroke Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
The relationship between stroke and high blood pressure has been well-documented. The American Stroke Association states, "Managing high blood pressure is the most important thing you can do to lessen your risk for stroke.â€
What is blood pressure?
As the heart pumps blood through the body, it also pushes blood against the body's arteries. The force of this push is "blood pressure.â€
However, if this pressure rises too much, and stays high, it can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other parts of the body, according to NHLBI. It can also lead to a stroke.
What causes high blood pressure?
Blood pressure tends to rise with age. However, other causes may include obesity, chronic kidney disease, thyroid disease, sleep apnea or certain asthma and cold-relief medications.
Unfortunately, high blood pressure usually has no symptoms, according to NHLBI. Occasionally, it may cause headaches. Many people have high blood pressure for years and don't even know it.
The best ways to prevent high blood pressure from escalating are to:
- maintain a healthy weight
- exercise regularly
- manage stress effectively
- limit the amount of salt and alcohol consumption
- avoid cigarette smoke
- check your blood pressure regularly
The stroke correlation
According to the American Stroke Association, a stroke happens when a blood vessel to the brain is either blocked by a blood clot, or completely bursts. This prevents oxygen from reaching the brain, causing the affected part to die.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for stroke because it damages arteries. And when arteries are damaged, they clog or burst more easily.

Climate Change
Climate change related events are on the rise, notably in developing countries. Producers in the Global South are increasingly feeling the brunt of climate change effects, including higher temperatures, increased rain, floods, and droughts.
Research carried out by the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich indicate that climate change "will have mainly negative impacts upon agricultural production, food security and economic development, especially in developing countries.".
Fairtrade coffee producers in Latin America are currently being severely affected by the spread of the leaf rust disease which is affecting over 50% of the total coffee growing area in Central America, and within the range of 30 - 40% in some South American countries. Climate change has been identified as a key factor facilitating the outbreak. Fairtrade producers are also being affected in Africa; tea farmers in East Africa, for instance, suffered heavy frost events in early 2012 which destroyed thousands of acres of bushes.
Unfortunately, the picture of the future does not appear promising. In fact, several modeling studies predict that by 2050 the productivity of coffee, cocoa, tea or cotton will severely be affected and production in some areas might even disappear. Many farmers will need to adapt their practices to the new climatic conditions or risk losing their livelihoods.
The Fairtrade Approach
As the effects of climate change become more evident, Fairtrade producers need additional technical and financial support to confront these new challenges. Beyond the benefits that Fairtrade offers to producers (Fairtrade Minimum Price, Fairtrade Premium, strong environmental standards, etc.), the system supports basic pre-conditions that are needed to implement climate change adaptation measures such as: organizational development, environmental sustainability, financial stability, investment possibilities, and greater autonomy.
Fairtrade International acknowledges that the current benefits of the Fairtrade system are insufficient to help producers confront the effects of climate change. As a result, we have developed a climate change strategy that defines the scope, establishes Fairtrade priorities and provides a framework for action.
A global work plan for climate change has been developed, focusing on producer services (i.e. climate change standards), producer support for climate change adaptation (creating partnerships for adaptation projects), and producer-driven advocacy. The overall mission is to enable vulnerable producers to adapt to climate change and support them to mitigate the impacts, while promoting further sustainable development practices.
Fairtrade International and some member organisations have also introduced carbon reduction plans to reduce their operational impact on climate change.
How Climate Change is addressed in the Fairtrade Standards
The Fairtrade Standards promote sustainable development through best agricultural practices, which not only guide producers to adapt to climate change, but also encourage them to mitigate their impact. The environmental standards include the following practices: integrated pest management, prevention of soil erosion, improvement of soil fertility, sustainable use of water sources, sustainable waste management, prohibition of GMOs, protection of biodiversity, use of renewable energy, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition to its environmental standards, Fairtrade is currently assessing and developing voluntary climate change standards to further support producers adapt to the effects of climate change and mitigate their impact. These include:
- Development of a FairCarbonCredits standard to ensure fairness in the production and trade of carbon credits, while promoting best practice in terms of climate change mitigation and empowering producers and their communities.
- A possible FairAdaptation Standard, aiming to channel greater levels of investment towards building the resilience of the most vulnerable to climate change. FairAdaptation will also promote best practice in terms of climate change adaptation while empowering producer communities.
Beyond the Standards
While Fairtrade is working to develop voluntary climate change standards to address the evolving needs of producers, a number of different efforts are underway to support producers adapt to climate change, advocate for their own needs and reduce Fairtrade operational emissions.
Producer Support Programme for Climate Change
The Fairtrade system has developed a producer-centred support programme for climate change adaptation and mitigation with a focus on small producer organizations .The main activities of the programme are:
- assessment of risks and opportunities,
- promotion of locally-identified adaptation strategies,
- sharing of best practices and lessons learned, and
- exchange of information among networks.
To implement these activities Fairtrade is working in partnerships with local and regional technical organisations with expertise on climate change. This programme is limited to regions and products identified at risk in terms of climate change. The implementation of the programme anticipates the involvement of the entire supply chain as a principle of shared responsibility and is subject to private or public.
Producer Led Advocacy
The Fairtrade Producer Networks, with the support of Fairtrade International and other members, have developed a climate change advocacy plan, focusing firstly on international climate change negotiations, and secondly on regional discussions. Priorities for climate advocacy include:
- Positioning Fairtrade as part of the response to the climate change;
- Providing a platform for producers to voice their concerns and demands;
- Advocating for more and more effective adaptation funding.
A climate change advocacy working group has been established to coordinate all advocacy activities, notably producer engagement at the UN climate change annual Conference of the Parties (COP). Producer representatives have increasingly engaged at these international conferences taking place in Cancun, Durban, and Doha. Through these opportunities, they have brought the voice of producers most affected by climate change to the highest levels of global discussion highlighting challenges, their approach, and the technical and financial support still needed.
The Fairtrade Producer Networks manage a climate change blog that includes producer stories, statements, petitions, interviews, as well as sharing information on climate change adaptation projects and best practices.
Internal Carbon Reduction Plan
Fairtrade International has developed a methodology to monitor its own carbon emissions and is implementing a strategy to reduce them. This methodology has been audited by an external party to verify its efficiency and accuracy. The strategy is targeting to reduce 5% of the emissions by 2015 and 10% by 2017. Fairtrade International will promote the use of a similar approach throughout the international Fairtrade system.

Liquor board investigates bar where missing ASU student went
TEMPE, Ariz. — State officials are investigating a Tempe bar where a
missing Arizona State University student was last seen.
The East Valley Tribune reported that the Arizona
Department of Liquor Licensing and Control confirmed Monday that the agency is
reviewing information from Cadillac Ranch at Tempe Marketplace over concerns of
possible underage drinking.
ASU freshman Jack Culolias, 19, was last seen Nov. 30 after being kicked out
of the Tempe bar during a fraternity party and was suspected of being drunk,
police said.
Culolias used a fake ID to get into Cadillac Ranch to drink when about 200
other people were inside at the time, police said. He also had expressed
concerns to his stepmother and twin brother about being scared about his
initiation into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity going into pledge week, which
also is known as "hell week," according to authorities.
Campus police said his friends saw him heading to a taxi cab, but he hasn't
been seen since. His stepmother reported him missing the following Sunday.
It is not known whether Culolias was served alcohol at the bar. But Liquor
Licensing and Control officials said investigators will review the credit card
purchases made at the bar and compare them with the ages of the customers prior
to considering whether any fines could be levied against the establishment.
The agency's announcement comes at the same time the city announced it is
working with the university to crack down on fraternity-related incidents.
The SAE fraternity at ASU has been placed on probation twice since 2006,
according to Sharon Keeler, a university spokeswoman.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Dive and Rescue and canine teams also have
conducted searches with underwater cameras and radar equipment in the Salt River
north of Tempe Marketplace looking for Culolias, but those searches have been
If violations are found at Cadillac Ranch, the case will be forwarded to the
Compliance Unit and the agency's compliance officer will meet with the licensee
and clearly review the violations to prevent a reoccurrence.
A manager at Cadillac Ranch who answered a phone call told a reporter Monday,
"Everything we said, we've said to Tempe police."

CrockPot Cream Cheese, Sausage, and Rotel Dip
Day 277.
Happy Friday Fondue Day! Except this is more of a dip, than an actual fondue. I've never been very good at rules.
This dip is famous. This is The Internet's Dip. When I posted that I needed more recipes for the Little Dipper, I got no less than FORTY emails telling me about this dip. Pretty much everybody acknowledged that the ingredients were weird and shouldn't taste good together, but they just do.
Last night I had the extreme honor of going to a local book signing for Sleep Is For the Weak (which you should totally buy for everybody you know for a holiday gift) and then the fabulous Mizz Jenny spent the night.
Because I love her, and I know how much she loves The Internet, I made her this dip. I also gave her pink champagne. Because nothing says high-class like rotel and sausage dip with pink champagne.
The Ingredients.
--8 oz block of cream cheese
--1 can tomatoes and green chiles (aka Rotel), drained
--1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained
The Directions.
I didn't use the Little Dipper (I said I wasn't good at rules!), I used my 1.5 quart crockpot, and it was the right size. You'll need to cut the recipe in half to fit the Little Dipper.
Brown the sausage on the stove, and drain on paper towels.
Unwrap the cream cheese, and put it into your crockpot. Chop up the sausage and add on top. Drain the Rotel, and add it.
Cover and cook on low for about 90 minutes, or on high for 45. Stir well and eat with tortilla chips.
The Verdict.
Dude. This is good. I can not believe how good it is.
The ingredients are still weird. I totally agree.

Holy smoked sausage!! Does THAT ever look yummy?!?! Being born and bred in the Lone Star State, I feel Rotel makes everything better! And of course, being a girl. . . only cream cheese can perfect what Rotel did not! YOU ROCK and our family LOVES your site!

We make this all the time, but instead of cream chesse, we use Velveeta

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! My friends and I love love love this stuff. We call it "Heart Attack in a Bowl". But it is so fricking unbelievably fantastically delicious. Everyone go make some!

Sounds great for halftime!

Anything with cream cheese in it sounds good to me! Think I will give it a try this weekend. Thanks

Yummy! Thats all I am saying. I will be making this probably tonight!

Im about to go on a diet, you have to post this now LOL!!!
Im going to try it too. Im also no good at rules.
- October 3, 2008 at 7:29 AM
- Mouse said...
Not a crockpot recipe, but salsa and cream cheese whirred up in a blender is wonderful. That's what makes me think these ingredients work together.
- October 3, 2008 at 7:37 AM
- Lori said...
This is a great dip! We use Jimmy Dean Breakfast sausage too!
- October 3, 2008 at 7:57 AM
- billy said...
I think those ingredients sound awesome together, I don't know what y'all are talkin' bout!
Another dip i make with cream cheese involves mincing up a ton of button mushrooms really fine, sauteeing in butter, throwing in some canned clams, and then mixing in a bunch of cream cheese. I suppose this could be crocked as well, although I've always just done it in a pan. I might try combining this and that recipe!
- October 3, 2008 at 7:58 AM
- Chasity said...
We make this with Velveeta. (I remember your kids like that) Sometimes with hambuger meat and sometimes without. The orginal way I had it was with sausage, hambuger, rotel, and velveeta. (I do not care for pork, so I omit that now) I love cream cheese, so I will have to give it a try. (minus pork)
I love you blog and enjoy all the receipes.
Be blessed,
- October 3, 2008 at 8:04 AM
Try this dip with either hard or soft chorizo....not kidding it will rock your world. Try cream cheese AND Velveta, keep your cardiologist on speed dial!
- October 3, 2008 at 9:18 AM
- Candace said...
It's fabulous with Velveeta.
- October 3, 2008 at 9:31 AM
- Amy said...
I also unroll a crescent roll in a baking dish, smooth this yummy goodness on it, and then top with another unrolled crescent roll. Bake at 350 until the crescent roll is golden on to and you have the world's best breakfast casserole!
- October 3, 2008 at 9:47 AM
We call this "crack dip" becuase it's like crack...one taste and your addicted!
Now I'm going to have to make some!
- October 3, 2008 at 10:30 AM
- Stephanie said...
Hmm. Cream cheese, sausage, and Ro-tel. Actually, that sounds absolutely delicious, and now I'm craving some good chips and dip!
- October 3, 2008 at 10:58 AM
- Not Afraid to Use It said...
We always ALWAYS have these ingredients on hand to make this dip, though we use the Jimmy Dean bulk sausage because it is so easy to fry up with no chopping. The two key things we have learned in the years we have made this dip is that no brand but Rotel will do. We also don't bother to drain the Rotel because it makes the dip go further and easier to scoop. I am so glad you posted this recipe. It is one that everyone should try at least once!!
- October 3, 2008 at 11:35 AM
- Procrastamom said...
I'm betting that there is no way in hell, as a Canadian, I can buy that Rotel stuff here (we simply DO NOT have a lot of choice when it comes to Southwest/Mexican food). Wonder if a can of tomatoes and a can of green chilies would work just as well, because that dip looks delicious!
- October 3, 2008 at 12:03 PM
- Beth (A Mom's Life) said...
I make this all the time. I just use the sausage that's already ground up. That saves a step...no need to chop anything.
- October 3, 2008 at 4:48 PM
- Shelly said...
I am one of the 40, I guess! I use a roll of Jimmy Dean sausage, and it fits perfectly in my lil dipper. Maybe you had too much sausage. Glad you liked it as much as I do!
- October 3, 2008 at 5:57 PM
- Mommy (Becky) and Madalyn said...
I've had this before and it is one yummy dip! The way my friend makes it is the same as how you made yours plus she adds in a block of velvetta. So yummy!
I love checking in on your blog (I first heard about it on the RR show), and I'm going to be sad once the year is up. Thanks for keeping your resolution as I really enjoy your recipes.

Not that you need help with Crockpot recipes, but here's one I just posted on my blog that I like and thought I would share it with you.

I posted a link to your gluten free playdough recipe on my site www.whattofeedyourkids.com Thanks for all the great recipes! I am a huge fan. Happy Crockpotting!
- October 3, 2008 at 7:56 PM
not so weird. In Austin, add some guac and you have the world-famous Bob Armstrong dip.
- October 3, 2008 at 8:01 PM
- Charlene said...
Yum! Reminiscent of the quick-need-something-for-work dip: one can Hormel chili/no beans, 1 block cream cheese. Adding the Rotel would just make it super!
- October 4, 2008 at 8:13 AM
- ROXY said...
Yum this sounds great!! BTW, I just read your Prevention interview. Congrats!!! You're a celeb:)

- quinn said...
These ingredients don't sound at all strange to me - does this mean *I* am strange???
In case you see this comment today (saturday), Steph, I'm trying the dulce de leche today and wondered if there is any reason not to cook it on high for a chorter time than 8 hours? Or a combination of x hrs on high then switch to low for x hrs?
don't know if I can stay up til midnight to eat this :)
- October 4, 2008 at 1:04 PM

This sounds amazing. I'm glad I came across your site.

- Kelli said...
I lived in Mississippi for 3 years and there is an unwritten rule somewhere that there cannot be a gathering of more than 4 people with someone servin' up a dish of Rotel.
You have to use Rotel brand and it is called Rotel. No matter what.
You gotta love the South!!
- October 4, 2008 at 11:30 PM
- JordonCampbellWilliamson said...
Hmm I usually do velvetta, sausage, and rotel. Maybe I need to try cream cheese!! :) You inspired me! I think this will be what I am bringing to my thursday night small groups!
- October 5, 2008 at 2:57 PM
I made this dip for my husbands poker night. The guys loved it and I was voted the "bestest wife around" because of it.
Thanks so much
Keep up the great recipes. I enjoy reading and trying them
- October 5, 2008 at 3:29 PM
- Smelling Coffee said...
Much like Amy's comment, we mix the 1 lb. of cooked sausage with 1 block of cream cheese, then flatten a flaky style biscuit, put a dollowp of the mixture in it, then roll the biscuit around the mixture and bake until browned. Don't know how you could do that in a crock pot, but it is a delicious and easy breakfast dish!
- October 5, 2008 at 5:49 PM
- Kim said...
I made this yesterday and took Tortilla chips with it for a Bible study meeting. Everyone loved it! I think next time, like one of the other commenters, I will not drain the Rotel. I think it will be easier to stir. It was awesome! Thank you! I'm tryng the caramel apples next weekend with the kids!
- October 6, 2008 at 6:16 AM
Has anyone tried this in a bigger pot? I only have the 5 qt.
- October 6, 2008 at 7:27 AM
I have a question about baking in the crockpot. If I want to bake a bread over night and it takes 6 hours, but I plan on sleeping 8 or so......will it over cook if my crockpot goes to warm for a couple of hours? Also I would like to be entered for the crock pot contest. firstname.lastname@example.com

- Ann said...
I love your recipes. I took Cream Cheese Sausage and Rotel Dip to BUNCO last night, what a hit! I love the fish in foil packets too.
- October 8, 2008 at 7:24 PM
Love this stuff!! And that is the original recipe I used when I started amking it. I do a variation now that makes a big big batch, of which I freeze half. 1 roll regular Jimmy Dean type sausage, one roll hot Jimmy Dean type, 2 cans rotel (drained), 1 block cream cheese and about a pound of velveeta. I have to admit we're not above eating it for dinner. YUM!!
- October 9, 2008 at 8:06 AM
- The Deal Diva said...
We made this over the weekend, and there wasn't a bit left. The only downside to it's deliciousness was that it was rather salty with the chips....no worries, we dipped raw veggies, and it was wonderful!!!
- October 11, 2008 at 6:56 PM
- terrah said...
I made this tonight and it was a hit! Thanks~!
- October 11, 2008 at 8:05 PM
- Laura-IH said...
Holy Moly! I made this (in my Little Dipper-he's so cute!) for a get-together this weekend. It was devoured almost immediately. All the other inferior snacks just sat there, ashamed of themselves. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
- October 13, 2008 at 7:41 AM
- Sadie said...
I actually modified this into a meal tonight and it turned out great. I used Jimmy dean sausage, hot Rotel, cream cheese, and then added a jar of marinara sauce. I made a box of Angel Hair pasta, drained and dumped into the warm tomato cheese mix, stirred it up, and then while it was still hot added two eggs and mixed it to coat the pasta and cook the eggs. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

- Jen Sellers said...
I just found your blog this week! I've enjoyed reading all your recipes. My mom is known for this dip in my family. And as others have said, it never lasts long when it's served!
- October 25, 2008 at 6:22 PM
- Sarah said...
I had never heard of this recipe until I moved to Mississippi - and everyone here eats it! When I make it rather than using breakfast sausage I use italian sausage - sweet or mild. mmmmm.
- October 26, 2008 at 8:45 PM
- Finleypotamus said...
I have never heard of this with cream cheese, we have always used Velveeta but I LOVE cream cheese so we will try it. I always make a dip with a block of cream cheese, then I dump a can of chili no beans on top then I put pepper jack cheese on that and melt... I think that would be good in the crockpot! I only have a 6 qt. crockpot though. Do I need to buy a smaller one?
- October 31, 2008 at 11:59 AM
- Jenny said...
I made this this evening for a sewing get-together.
The other ladies loved it and practically licked the crock clean!
I had to sort of wing it cuz my time was too short to look up the recipe again or shop for rotel.
I used 1# sausage, 1 can petite diced tomatoes, 1 (7oz) can diced ortega chilies, 11oz. cream cheese.
I forgot about draining the tomatoes until it was too late but it still turned out tasty enough to snarf down.
Thanks Steph, for another great, repeatable recipe!

- Heartsong43 said...
This has been around for a long time,quick and easy crowde pleaser, I had a friend who had gone elk hunting and they gave me a bunch of ground elk and I used that in place of the boring ol sausage last year for the Holiday dip , I don't drain the rotel and I don't cook cream cheese, this is best when you cook the meat drain then blend up the soften cream cheese with rotel and add in the meat. I do use a crock when I use a block of Velveeta instead of the cream cheese, The Wild Elk dip was a hit with our large crowd with the Velveeta style also.
- November 22, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Wow!!!! This is seriously good!! I brought a batch to work today and it was cleaned up in nothing flat.
- December 16, 2008 at 8:43 AM
- vegakitty said...
This is also very good with Jimmy Dean reduced fat sausage and low-fat cream cheese. It's also good as an alternative to biscuits and gravy; we ran out of chips but I had baked some biscuits that morning and there were still some left over when I made this for dinner, so Mr. Vegakitty and I tried some over biscuits. So good! I'm planning to take a crockpot-full to our after-Christmas party.
- December 29, 2008 at 11:35 AM
- Scott said...
Wow.. Now this looks tasty.. I'm making that Little Dipper Pizza Fondue recipe for a party tonight, but I am definitely giving this one a whirl soon!
- December 31, 2008 at 5:40 AM
My Family uses a very similar crockpot dip recipe for many occasions, including the 'just because' occasion.
We use a roll of sausage, a can of Rotel, and a block of velvetta.
- January 20, 2009 at 12:11 PM
this stuff is amazing! our friends brought some to a party several months ago and we loved it! there were leftovers- so i used it to stuff mushrooms the next night. sprinkle with some seasoned bread crumbs and grated parmesean. mmmmm.
getting ready to make some now for super bowl!!!
- January 31, 2009 at 7:38 AM
- Mississippi Girl said...
This dip is known as Tuzzi Dip where I come from. If you make it with maple flavored sausage, it is even better!
- March 1, 2009 at 11:49 AM
My friend taught me how to make this back in college, but our recipe called for 1 bunch of cilantro (plus the ingredients Stephanie listed), YUM! (Try it!)
- October 26, 2009 at 1:35 PM
We call this "JUNK" and make it in the 6 quart crockpot with the following measurments...4 Philly cream cheese, 5 rotel tomatoes, 2 lbs. Jennie-O HOT turkey sausage(cuts down on the heart attack issue). We never have any leftovers after a party.
- November 6, 2009 at 4:27 PM
- Leah said...
I make a variation of this recipe with Velveeta and ground beef. I am looking forward to trying this one since we all love cream cheese!
- November 21, 2009 at 9:21 AM
- Wendy said...
I've made this before except I use sage sausage. SOOO Good!
- November 23, 2009 at 9:59 PM
- Marianne said...
I took this to a party last night and it was a hit! (Like I should be surprised after all these comments!) The only dangerous part was the leftovers I ate once I got home. (We had a lot of food and not a lot of people.) Definitely one I will make again, with and without the variations.
- December 17, 2009 at 8:18 AM
I am making this in the my mini crockpot right now for a Christmas party. It is sooo good, I can't stop opening and munching on it. The cream cheese is way better than Velveeta!
- December 25, 2009 at 1:02 PM
- Elizabeth said...
I make it with velveeta instead of cream cheese. This dip is pretty much the sole reason I bought a crock pot.
- January 14, 2010 at 10:06 AM
I have one better...1 lb. breakfast sausage, browned and drained, 2 cans corn, drained, 1 can cream of chicken soup, about a 1 lb. of Velveeta...all melted together. Delicious...can be a dip with more Velveeta or a casserole with less.
- January 23, 2010 at 7:25 PM
This has become a regular at my house. Love it. I even use an off-brand can of dice toms. I also use a chub of sausage, the Jimmy Dean kind. I just ground and brown, then melt in the cream cheese and toms. Yum!
- February 15, 2010 at 8:00 PM
- Donna said...
I made this with Jimmy Dean Sausage, this way every bite had sausage in it. Also, we used Fritos Scoops to dip in it! Never saw this receipe before my mom made it! It was a hit at my neighbors get together! Thanks Mom!
- August 5, 2010 at 1:08 PM
You are right, the ingredients sound just wrong enough, enough to be g☺☺d. I think I'd remove the casing on the sausage first before browning. Less hassle, and nothing to cut up.
- December 30, 2010 at 10:01 AM
- The Davis Two said...
This is a family favorite of ours. Though we generally use the Jimmy Dean Sausage tubes.
I also get the Reduced Fat (since you can't tell the difference in taste) as well as Fat Free Cream Cheese (again, you can't tell the difference).
- January 13, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Hint: save the juice from the Rotel can. You might to add some back to thin out the dip, which can get a little thick. Better than water. I suppose milk would be okay too.
- January 31, 2011 at 12:20 PM
I AM IN LOVEEE with this dip. i call it sausage dip. its the best dip ever! My best friend's mom makes this around the holidays, and I always take some home with me!
- February 4, 2011 at 12:03 AM
Made it tonight for watching a ppv boxing match. The guys all loved it. My friend's son said it was the best dip he's ever eaten in his life (of 19 yrs, that is!)
- May 7, 2011 at 10:46 PM
This is one of our all time favorites - make it for all parties and 'an extra' and there is never any leftovers, even when I double the recipe.
- May 24, 2011 at 2:46 PM
- latiina said...
this doesn't sound weird at all. like nachos... cheese, meat, tomatoes, chile, & chips. this is like what my family makes but with Velveeta cheese. I'm sure cream cheese substituted taste amazing!
- August 1, 2011 at 2:45 PM
- marcie said...
It's the stuff that looks like "dog puke" and tastes like "Heaven"
We call it "Big Butt Dip" lol
- September 22, 2011 at 2:41 PM
- Momma Tails said...
my family and i have had a version of this recipe for years. We call it "pirate dip" since everyone keeps stealing the recipe lol. My mother called it "hippie dip" when she was a teen. We do half ground turkey, half ground pork and add a block of velveeta cheese.
- September 27, 2011 at 1:21 PM
- Chris said...
We make a very similar dip for almost all of our family gatherings! We take two cans of chili without beans (used to use Hormel, but now use Wolf brand since my husband was diagnosed with Celiac), two pkg's of softened cream cheese and about a 1/4 brick of Velveeta (cubed). Melt all together, either in microwave or on low in crock for a little while. You can add more Velveeta if needed. This is super good with Fritos Scoops and regular tortillas. Leftovers are super tasty on hot dogs and it makes wonderful nachos!! Hope you'll try it this way sometime :)
- January 10, 2012 at 6:03 AM
Gonna make it for Superbowl!
- February 3, 2012 at 6:03 AM
- Janelle said...
I've made this before and everyone loves it! I use 2 blocks of cream cheese, 2 cans of rotel and 1 lb of jimmy dean regular sausage and 1 lb of spicy jimmmy dean sausage. adds a bit of a kick!
- March 22, 2012 at 3:10 PM
- gaea712 said...
My aunt makes this with Mexican Rotel (includes lime & cilantro) and it's a family favorite!
- June 19, 2012 at 7:46 AM
My recipe: 2 bricks cream cheese, 16 0z sour cream, 2 pounds Jimmy Dean sausage, one hot and one sage(cooked and drained) one can Rotel tomatoes, one can chopped black olives, mix all together in a crock pot and serve over Jaunita's tortilla chips. Mmmm...
- July 29, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Tried this last night, using hot Italian sausages and canned diced tomatoes, I found it bland, but others enjoyed it. I had purchased the cilantro and lime, but they were forgotten.
- September 29, 2012 at 8:10 AM
here in Illinois this is sold in stores and is called man dip.....I have made it at home using cream cheese AND velveeta....
- September 29, 2012 at 1:49 PM
- Joe Davis said...
Guys, heres the real deal..Thank me later..
16 oz sour cream, 1 block of velvetta cheese, 2 pounds of ground beef, add 2 cans of rotell. Combine all ingredients in a big crock pot until all the cheese is completely melted..
This is the best dip in the world!
- December 24, 2012 at 9:30 AM
- JOHN W. SMITH said...
Here is the real deal, from the South!!
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb smoked sausage with green onions
1 lb tasso (sad, but typically only seen in Louisiana)
1 lb Velveeta (I usually go with the jalapeno)
1 12oz can of Pace Chunky Salsa, hot or Medium
1 20oz can of chili, no beans
Brown the ground meat, cut the sausage in small chunks and the tasso in small chunks, bown the two together and drain.
Combine all ingredients in to large saucepan or into crock-pot and stir frequently until Velveeta is melted. Serve with Frito's Scoops and sour cream.
I call it Smitty's Famous Chili Cheese Dip and the recipe has been passed around all over the US.

I use chorizo sausage in this dip, and it is amazing!
- November 3, 2013 at 6:24 PM
- tj5998 said...
This is the greatest site on the internet, thanks for all the time you have saved me. A quick tip is to use the precooked sausage crumbles in this recipe... that way it is less greasy, helathier if you use the turkey sausage and quicker because you dont have to cook the sausage.
Delicious, always my go to take along. Thanks.

Synthetic Compressor Oil - ISO 68, SAE 30
The correct viscosity grade compressor oil is recommended for use in rotary screw, rotary vane, reciprocating and other compressor applications. Compatible with PAO, ester- and petroleum-based compressor oils. Not compatible with glycol- or silicone-based compressor oils.
Package sizes include:
Data Sheet
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil is a long-life, premium
compressor lubricant based on novel, proprietary technology. It incorporates
the highest quality, thermally stable PAO synthetics fortified with
premium non-detergent additives for maximum protection at high temperatures.
It lasts up to 8,000 hours, effectively reducing maintenance
and waste oil disposal costs.
Improves Compressor Efficiency
AMSOIL PC Series Oil has low friction properties, resists
viscosity increase from oxidation and helps improve operating
Controls Foam and Reduces Wear
AMSOIL PC Series Oil contains anti-foam additives and, unlike
some other compressor oils, is anti-wear fortified. Good foam
control reduces heat, oxidation and wear. High contact regions
are protected against wear for increased compressor life and
lower maintenance costs.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation builds up in compressors and can
cause unwanted oil/water emulsions that lead to rust and corrosion.
AMSOIL PC Series Oil is hydrolytically stable. It resists
acid formation, readily separates from water and is anti-rust
fortified. Water can be easily drained for simplified disposal
and increased oil life.
Resists Heat and Oxidation
AMSOIL PC Series Oil combines the inherent stability of premium
synthetic base oils with specialized anti-oxidant additives
to resist varnish, carbon and acid formation. It is formulated
to protect compressors better and last longer in service than
petroleum oils, especially during hot operating conditions.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL PC Series Oil is an ashless, high-flash-point formulation
with very low carbon-forming tendencies that minimizes
the incidence of ignition-promoting "hot spots." While PC Series
Oil can provide improved fire safety, it cannot be considered
Application Recommendation*
AMSOIL PC Series Oil in the appropriate viscosity is recommended
for use in single and multistage rotary screw, vane,
centrifugal and reciprocating compressor crankcases and
cylinders, vacuum pumps, pressure washer pumps and other
applications such as gears, bearings, blowers, pumps and
handheld pneumatic tools. In compressor applications, drain
intervals of 8,000 hours or more can be expected under normal
operation. Drain intervals are subject to operating conditions
and maintenance practices. Monitoring by oil analysis
is recommended. For best performance when converting to
AMSOIL PC Series Oil, it is recommended the compressor
be flushed of the old oil and all filters changed prior to the
installation of PC Series Oil. If carbon deposits are present on
the internal components, it is recommended they be removed
following the compressor manufacturer recommendations.
* Consult the equipment manufacturer or AMSOIL Technical Services
for use in specific applications.
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil is compatible with
petroleum oils and most synthetic oils, seals, paints and materials,

Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer in men, yet diagnosing this condition still presents a challenge. Physicians have traditionally used the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test to screen for prostate cancer. However, this diagnostic test may produce unclear results.

Wheel Spacers (2000046) by Baer®, 1 Pair. Bolt Circle: 5 x 5". 0.500" Thickness When you need to position your wheels further outward to clear brake components or to prevent larger tires from rubbing, Baer wheel spacers provide an OEM-quality fit without looseness or vibrations. This spacer features a 4-bolt pattern that will fit lugs with bolt center diameters of 3.94, 4.25, or 4.5 inches. The spacers are cut, machined, and drilled from one piece of aluminum, not cast from a mold - giving them higher rigidity and greater resistance to warping or cracking.
- 4-bolt pattern
- Spacer pieces are cut from one piece of billet aluminum
- Fully machined to extremely tight tolerances for a precise, OEM-quality fit
- Installs around lug bolts between the flat edge of brake disc and wheel
- Allows more outboard placement of wheels in the event more clearance is needed for larger-than-stock brake calipers
- Increases the track width of your vehicle for more stable handling
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
If you've installed plus size tires on your vehicle, you may be realizing too late that even though the overall diameter of your new tires matches your old ones, wider width is causing them to rub against the inside of your wheel well liners. When this is happening, your vehicle's performance is compromised in the areas of steering and braking - two things that greatly reduce maneuverability and safety. Plus, normal suspension travel that used to be taken for granted can now cause damage to your tires and any other important suspension components they come in contact with. And if you are finding larger brake calipers you installed do not clear the curved spokes of bigger aftermarket wheels as expected, a solution exists.
Baer offers the one-fourth inch Wheel Spacers to correct smaller fitment issues, and the 4-bolt pattern of this set will fit lugs with bolt center diameters of 3.94, 4.25, or 4.5 inches. Unlike inferior spacers from competitors that are built by pouring metal into molds that may not be shaped 100% correctly, Baer wheel spacers are laser cut and milled from one single piece of aluminum. Because the metal is not heated up and poured, it retains its original tensile strength - giving these spacers the rigidity needed to prevent warping that occurs under high temperatures. Baer spacers will fit right when you put them on, leaving your wheels free from shimmies and vibrations that plague most imperfectly shaped spacers. And because of their durability, they'll continue to fit right after miles and miles of punishing use without putting undue stress on lug bolts to cause breakage.63.00Brand: Baer Part Number: 2000046 UPC: 844165004813
Founded in 1986 in Phoenix, Arizona, Baer Brakes began with the goal of producing only superior brake components and kits for the driver who appreciates high levels of performance on the street and on the track. Company leaders have always been relentless in their pursuit of making better products through innovation and quality control measures that result in defect-free manufacturing. Whether you're looking to upgrade factory brakes with OEM size components, larger calipers and rotors, or convert a classic with drum brakes to discs, Baer offers a wide selection of brake packages for every driving purpose and budget.

BEAVER FALLS Its more than a 10th anniversary for Omniafiltra, a papermaking mill in Beaver Falls. Its a celebration of rebirth, growth and success in a historically struggling industry.
In February 1999, more than 100 people lost their jobs when FiberMark shut down operations at the location as a cost-cutting measure.
My heart was broken, said Scott C. Sauer, who was employed at the mill at the time. Today, hes the mill manager, but said its more than a job for him.
His passion for the mill and its employees was evident as he walked through, greeting fellow employees and explaining the machinery.
Were lucky. Were lucky we have this and it didnt end up like the Newton Falls plant, he said.
Since closing, the Newton Falls facility has been stripped of its machinery, leaving little hope of its ever reopening.
In contrast, Mr. Sauer credited FiberMark with keeping Charles E. Marolf on staff, keeping the building here heated and in good condition for the possibility of a return to production.
Oh, it was lonely, recalled Mr. Marolf, who for more than two years was the sole employee.
In December 2001, LTX Fibre Corp. bought the 125,000-square-foot mill from FiberMark.
There was a glimmer of hope for the mills resurrection, but it was short lived. Within months the mill was closed again.
The building sat empty again, except for Mr. Marolf.
The second vacancy of the site was longer. Any customers had long since found other suppliers and former employees had found other jobs.
Mr. Sauer was then working at Climax Manufacturing when he learned the property had been sold, again.
It was a risky move in 2003, but he left Climax to manage new operations at Omniafiltra, an Italian-owned company.
We had no orders, no previous customers, he said.
Mr. Sauer remembered giving the plant about a 50-50 chance of surviving the first year.
Not only did it survive; its grown.
From the original returning crew of nine employees, the mill now employs 37.
We believe and understand our survival was and continues to be directly proportional to the quality of the will of our employees to collectively act as one, Mr. Sauer said. Theres no such thing as my job or your job.
As the employees mark their 10th year this week, they will re-enact the first paper run 10 years ago when the first piece was ripped off and signed by the nine employees. This time, there will be 37 signatures.

RANGELEY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Despite calls to have the festival cancelled, the Snodeo snowmobiling festival in Rangeley went on as planned this weekend.
Messages on social media circulated earlier this month, asking organizers to cancel out of respect for the families of three missing snowmobilers, presumed dead after falling through open water in a snowmobiling accident on Rangeley Lake on December 30.
Wardens have postponed recovery efforts for Glen Henderson, 43, of Sabattus, his cousin Ken Henderson, 40, of China, and their friend, John Spencer, 41, of Litchfield, due to extreme weather conditions.
Wardens hope to resume recovery efforts on Rangeley Lake in the coming weeks.
To remember the missing snowmobilers, Snodeo organizers held a vigil Friday night.
"It was a really nice tribute to the unfortunate accident," said Snodeo Chair Aimee Danforth.
She, and other organizers, made the call to continue Snodeo festivities because family members expressed it was what the Henderson's and Spencer would have wanted.
"[The family's] feeling is that it's an annual tradition," said Danforth. "It's unfortunate, a terrible, terrible tragedy. But they knew [they] would want it to continue."
This is the 36th year for the Snodeo festival in Rangeley.
Danforth said the event brings between three and eight thousand people in to the region each year.

|ASU Snaps Skid with 4-2 Win Over UNCG
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Saturday, 19 March 2011 18:00
Daniel Kassouf's (Lexington, N.C./North Davidson) first-inning three-run home run proved to be the decisive blow in Appalachian State University baseball's 4-2 win over UNC Greensboro on Saturday afternoon at UNCG Baseball Stadium.With the victory over first-place UNCG (12-6, 4-1 SoCon), Appalachian (9-10, 1-7 SoCon) snapped a five-game losing streak and got into the win column in Southern Conference play for the first time this season.
ASU got all the scoring it needed on Kassouf's three-run blast in the top of the first. However, Tyler Zupcic (Charlotte, N.C./Providence) turned in perhaps the most critical at-bat of the inning when he led off the game by fouling off six tough pitches and drawing a 12-pitch walk. After a sacrifice bunt by Trey Holmes (Rockwell, N.C./East Rowan) and a base hit by Jack Myers (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park), Kassouf drilled the first pitch he saw from UNCG starter Brandon Browne (0-2) over the right-field wall to give the Mountaineers a 3-0 lead.
After Kassouf's bomb, the story of the game was the clutch performances turned in by ASU's bullpen. None of the seven runners inherited by Mountaineer relievers crossed the plate, thanks mainly to David Port (Dunwoody, Ga./Dunwoody) getting out of a two-on, no-out jam in the sixth and Taylor Miller (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield) inducing a lazy fly ball to end the inning with the bases loaded in the seventh.
Miller went on to throw 51 pitches for a seven-out save, his third of the season. He closed the game by getting out of another bases-loaded jam in the ninth, striking out .350 hitter Drew Gehringer to end the game with the winning run on first base.
In all, five Appalachian pitchers worked around a season-high 11 walks and three errors by stranding 16 UNCG runners on base. Starter Nathan Hyatt (Brevard, N.C./Brevard) upped his record to 2-3 by allowing just one run on four hits while striking out six over five innings of work. The right-handed sophomore had to give way to the bullpen in the sixth due to a pitch count of 107, caused primarily by his career-high six walks.
Kassouf and Myers accounted for half of ASU's eight hits with two apiece.
Appalachian and UNCG play the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday at 1 p.m. at UNCG Baseball Stadium.

This Premium Cork underlayment item is 1/4" thick and is sold by the Square Foot. We also sell full rolls at lower prices.
When you purchase this item, we will ship you custom-cut cork that is 24" to 48" wide (our choice) by an appropriate length to meet the Sq footage you select. Custom cut cork is not returnable.
You can order any combination of rolls or cut-to-order cork you need. We have 3 other configurations of R60 all made in the same factory and the same thickness; the only difference is size of the rolls. If you need 300 SF for example, you can order 300 SF custom cut, OR a roll of 200 SF and 2 rolls of 60 SF; this gives you 320 SF, but at a lower overall cost than ordering 300 custom cut.
You can then cut the cork to fit any configuration, as it cuts easily with a utility knife.
If you choose 711295, we cut it to order and you pay more for us to handle it for you ! We offer the R-60 cork in full rolls in 3 sizes which saves you money.
Manufactured by Amorim Industrial Solutions, the pioneer of cork underlayment for sound control, thermal insulation and protection against stress cracks, our products have been in use since the 1980's.
The R60 (6mm = .236 about 1/4 inch) is a thermal barrier as well as an acoustical barrier and will also prevent stress cracks in the tile floor. With the highest density on the market for any cork underlayment making it a very durable product, R60 will not "give" causing cracks to form. It is Safe, tested, and designed for use under tile floors. Inferior cork products are often from a different species of Cork and made in China and require use of epoxy grout; but NOT AcoutiCORK R60.
The cork is adhered to the clean & dry concrete slab using either Thinset Mortar (preferred & best method - the same thinset used to install the tile) or an approved adhesive (see instructions) With an R-Value of 3.1 per inch the cork acts as a "thermal Break" and slows the heat transfer into a concrete slab sub floor when placed on top of the slab. The heating elements are then installed on TOP of the cork, and secured with tape or glue and then covered with thinset mortar while installing your tile or stone floor. Cork Insulating underlay cannot be used in a shower floor or outdoors.
Our Cork is specifically designed and engineered for use under tile or stone floors. It's tested and there are hundreds of millions of Square feet installed in successful installations worldwide. Why risk using an inferior cork to save a few dollars? Choose R-60 from Warm Your Floor.

CLAYTON A relatively new anti-wind organization is accusing the Town Council of canceling two scheduled meetings because the group started hiring Steve Weed Productions, Watertown, to videotape these open sessions.
However, Town Supervisor Justin A. Taylor said that this is far from the truth and that the April 24 and May 22 council workshop meetings were canceled simply because of a lack of agenda items.
This is the second meeting that was canceled because of Steve Weed, said Cindy L. Grant, a member of Concerned Citizens for Open and Transparent Government. I dont think Justin Taylor likes the cameras.
She said the group consists of local and seasonal residents of Clayton, Orleans, Brownville, Lyme and Cape Vincent who do not want to live near a wind farm and have their skyline view disturbed by ugly wind turbines.
So far, she said, members have raised more than $1,000 to have the Clayton town board meetings videotaped and posted online.
Mrs. Grant has been suggesting that Mr. Taylor is secretly working for wind developer Iberdrola Renewables to help the company with its Horse Creek Wind Farm proposal.
Hes done everything he could to promote this project, she said.
Earlier this month, however, Clayton council members defended Mr. Taylor, arguing that a few people in the community have been spreading disinformation and that the town supervisor is doing nothing underhanded especially not on their watch.
I dont mind having Steve Weed at our meetings at all, because in Clayton, we run an open and transparent government, Mr. Taylor said Wednesday. We have canceled workshop meetings in the past because of a lack of agenda items. This is very typical in Clayton.

Tres Parka (Women's) Closeout (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 41767
The Women's Tres Parka by Patagonia is a 3-in-1 waterproof/windproof down coat for the coldest climes; its 600-fill goose-down parka zips into a polyester stretch twill shell with an H2No barrier and a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish.
Dylan fans and residents of Wisconsin know that a change in the weather is known to be extreme - the versatile, 3-in-1, waterproof/windproof Tres Parka keeps one from switching coats midseason. The 2-layer 100% polyester stretch-twill jacket has a waterproof/breathable H2No barrier, a Deluge DWR (durable water repellant) finish and a recycled polyester lining. The shell also features a 2-way full zip with storm flap, a tall, zip-through stand-up collar, an adjustable snap-on hood and zippered handwarmer and internal security pockets. The zip-out interior coat features ultrawarm 600-fill goose-down insulation and chevron quilting for added appeal, with invisible-zip handwarmer pockets. Both have princess seaming for a contoured fit. Wear the down jacket alone or pair it with shell for the ultimate warm, waterproof package. Length falls above the knee.

Comments about Patagonia Tres Parka (Women's):
Great coat! I've had it in every situation, wind, rain/snow, sub sub zero temps. Tremendous! My only complaints are the zipper's a bit finicky and the coat leaks a few feathers here and there.
I stalked the internet for this coat and a coupon, cause 5 bills is a lot. Found both here at Rock Creek. THANKS!

Comments about Patagonia Tres Parka (Women's):
I walk my 2 dogs everyday, twice a day regardless of weather. With a recent move to windy and cold Iowa I was needing a coat that was longer than my loved waist length Mountain Hardware coat. This fit the bill. The length is great and keeps you warm almost to your knees. The fit is great and very cute. The wind resistance is outstanding. Don't even get me started on the hood. This hood is awesome. It provides great protection from the elements and it stays in place even in high wind. The collar is also outstanding. I could not love this coat more. It was a big purchase and was thought about for over a year but now I realize there was no need to wait. The coat is worth the money and I am happy to have it. Now bring on the winter! I am prepared.
