Slow Cooker Green Pepper Chicken Recipe
Guess what? We still were full, and there was still some leftover for Adam to take to work the next day for lunch. Go figure. We ate our chicken tucked into corn tortillas and had a side of basmati rice to soak up the yummy juices.
The Ingredients.
serves 4.
3 chicken breast halves
2 large green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 (7-ounce) can whole or diced green chiles (mine were mild)
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 tablespoon dried minced onion, or 1 large yellow onion, diced finely
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream (to add before serving)
corn tortillas, optional
The Directions.
I used a 4 quart slow cooker. Put the chicken into the bottom of the cooker, and add the bell peppers and the whole can of chiles. Add basil, onion, salt, and pepper. Stir a bit to combine. Pour in the 1/4 cup of water. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours, or on high for 3-4.
Before serving, use tongs to remove the chicken, and set aside. Using an immersible blender, blend the peppers and sauce left at the bottom of the slow cooker. If you don't have an immersible blender, carefully(!) pour the slow cooker contents into a traditional stand blender and pulse until fully combined. Pour back into the cooker.
Stir in sour cream until melted. If you don't have sour cream in the house, plain yogurt or cream cheese would work just fine---this is only to thicken the sauce a bit and to mellow out the peppers and chile flavor.
Slice chicken, and return to the cooker. Set to high for 20-30 minutes, or until your dinner is fully hot. Serve the meat in corn tortillas, or over rice.
Or both!
The Verdict.
I've gone on the record saying I don't like green peppers. I really don't---they remind me of soggy cafeteria pizza. But they are MUCH less expensive than red, yellow, or orange peppers, and since the flavor is so pronounced a little goes a long way. Adam and the kids don't seem to mind the flavor, and the kids actually eat raw green pepper dipped in ranch, something I would never do. So I took one for the team.
I'm happy to report that I really liked the flavor when cooked like this, and when paired with the chiles. The chicken turned green, which the kids thought was neat. They happily ate their chicken over rice with a ladle full of sauce, but ate their corn tortilla as a quesadilla.

I just happened upon your blog and I am going to go put this in my crockpot right now! I happen to have some thawed chicken, bell peppers and chiles! Thanks for the recipe.

I don't like green peppers that much either but, like you, I'm realizing that the cheap factor may be worth it.
I would say cost was about 50% of the reason why I decided to cut back on mine and my husband's meat consumption. It is so, so expensive and while we may not have necessarily saved money (we're on a tight weekly grocery budget so we spend what we have budgeted), we have definitely had more money for fresh fruits and vegetables.

That sounds yummy... I wonder how well it would work with white beans or tofu for the Vegeterian in my life. Ohh some chunks of paneer cheese might be nice too...
We are sweet on any kind of bell pepper in this house, and I have at least 5 bags of frozen ones from the summer time harvest.
At Thanksgiving my mother who's a bit on the picky side with food looked at me, happily scooping hummus with bell pepper and said "You can eat those? Raw like that?" I tried to explain it's not the same as a hot pepper, but I'm not sure she gets it.

This sounds so tasty I'm going to have to try this out. Another crafty way to stretch the chicken is to rip it into shredded chicken with two forks instead of chopping it with a knife. It makes for more slivers of chicken and possibly more left overs since the bites will be smaller. Thank you for this great recipe! ox

Your cookbook is my absolute favorite and I have probably over 200 in my collection. Last night we had your chicken masala. Your Indian recipes are the most authentic Indian recipes that I've ever found in a crockpot cookbook. Please consider trying to make chicken korma. I had it at a restaurant and it was sooo good. I'd love a crockpot recipe for it.
You may want to try Italian cubanelle (not sure of the spelling but they are longer and lighter in color than your run of the mill green bell pepper). The flavor is much more milder. I personally prefer red ones too.
Happy Holidays and good luck with the new baby!

Hi! I never use as much meat as you call for in your recipes. I usually halve the amount of beef or pork and for chicken recipes, I use 3 bone-in thighs or 4 drumsticks. It seems to be plenty for dinner for 3 adults and 1-2 lunches. Between a celiac, a diabetic, (so no real cheap carbs) and all of us being meat eaters, this helps our budget quite a bit.

This dish sounds really good. I think I may have to make it this week.

this looks so yummy! I am enjoying your cookbook and have about 5 recipes bookmared to try 1st. I am even giving a copy to my daughter for Christmas. She is not gluten intolerant, but has excluded it from her diet after living with a roommate who could not eat it. I'm gifting your cookbook and The Pioneer Woman Cooks to my husband and son. My son just told me my meals were 'boring'! Not a good idea to insult the cook!

I hope you don't mind, Stephanie, but I'd like to give a shout out to Anonymous and BEG for some advice on cooking for a diabetic!!! If there are ANY blogs or sites or anything you've found helpful, and if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear about them. Particularly one similar to this, where someone has in fact tested the recipes-reading some recipes I get the feeling they were created by doctors rather than by cooks, if you know what I mean. There's no imagination or flair to them.
My husband was just diagnosed with diabetes early last week, and I'm really floundering in the dark here-so far I'm doing half the plate with veggies and a dab of whole grain carbs and a bit of meat, and it's working okay, but I really could use more to go on. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I did the same thing with our meat consumption. I buy in bulk, chicken breasts or ground turkey. Then I come home and s weigh it and separate it into baggies for freezing. I used to keep 2 lbs. of chicken for our family but now I'm using only 1 1/2 lbs. and it's plenty. Ground turkey, I cut down on too and no one seemed to notice.
Funny, the green chicken doesn't look appealing at ALL but I think I'll try it though, we love peppers and chiles. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh, and I've made several of your recipes and posted them and linked them back to you. I'm sure I'll be making MANY more! Thanks again!

Hi Schoomom,
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. I don't know of any diabetic bloggers off-hand, but I do know that Kalyn from Kalyn's Kitchen cooks South Beach Diet style, and may be of some help. Elana, from Elana's Pantry, is gluten free, but also stays away from most refined sugar (she cooks with agave nectar) and may be of some help.
I asked on Twitter if anyone knew of any diabetic recipe sites/bloggers, and I didn't get much help, except one lady recommended Patti Labelle's cookbook. She is evidently the spokesperson for the American Diabetic Association, too. Amazon link to Patti's cookbook.
I'm so sorry to not be of more help, but if anything comes my way, I'll forward it on to you.

Thanks Stephanie! I'm still planning to check those links after things calm down a bit here (school choir program tomorrow, baking bread for teacher gifts today, office party saturday, running around like my pants are on fire in general). I was just wondering if perhaps anonymous had found some other sources, because you just can't have too much information! LOL!

Yeah for you! I always use 3 chicken breasts...they are so huge these days. It's all we need! Looks yummy!
- December 17, 2009 at 11:45 AM
- harry.fuller said...
To cut the cost down, I buy bulk boneless skinless chicken thighs. Sure not as healthy as the breasts but a big savings.
P.S. got the book the day it came out and my wife and I have enjoyed every recipe we have tried so far. Several have become regulars like the Lemon Pepper Ribs in the 'pot today.
- December 17, 2009 at 12:08 PM
I make something very similiar to this using Goya's Recaito sauce. We also sop it up with rice and corn torillas. Not sure about Goya and gluten, but the Recaito is onions, garlic, green peppers and cilantro and has that whole "open bottle, dump in, walk away" thing going! :) The cilantro ties it all together for me!
- December 17, 2009 at 12:43 PM
Made this tonight and the family loved it! I had mine over quinoa and my 3 teenagers ate in on top of whole wheat egg noodles. Wasn't sure if to drain the canned chilis -- I didn't and it worked out fine. I didn't add the sour cream but I did food process the pepper mixture. This is a real keeper to add to the rotation!

Schmoomom, I use David Mendoza's site www.mendosa.com/ and Janet Ruhl's site www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/index.php for diabetes information, also one other site /www.healthcentral.com/diabetes is a good site. Basically the ADA diet DOES NOT work for the average diabetic. Diabetics are carb sensitive. He will want to learn to eat to his meter and exercise plan.
Sorry Stephanie, for taking over your comments, but I know how frustrating it is knowing what the ADA, the doctor, and dietician are telling you and it not working, then not knowing where to find answers. I love your site and many of your meals work in my diet plan. Judy

Kudos for reducing meat in your meal plans. I have been known to use only one pound of ground beef for my family of six or four chicken legs and thighs. I try to use less but when my husband cooks he thinks we need two pounds of ground beef and basically doubles everything! It makes me sooo mad. I'm trying to educate him that less is more. I only use green peppers due to the cost issue except I like to roast them and remove the skins then freeze them. I have a terrific mexican chicken dish that uses green peppers and my kids gobble that down thinking they are beans! This dish I use regular sliced green peppers without the roasting. I encourage you to give us some recipes that are good, cheap, and uses stuff you don't have to run out and buy as I suspect many of us are on a very tight budget.
- December 18, 2009 at 6:54 AM
I feel the same way about green peppers - they're okay, but I don't love them. I don't know that this is true where you live, but I can find 3-packs of "rainbow peppers" (aka one red, one yellow and one orange) pretty much year round at my regular grocery store for $3.99 which is usually the regular price per pound for single peppers, and this is 3 at that price. Might be worth a look next time you're at the market to see if your store has that deal, too.

- Caro said...
I make something really similar to this, but with tomatillos instead of green peppers.
Also, to cut down on my meat use, I put in chunky cut mushrooms. With the sauce they end up tasting the same as the meat, pretty much, and really fill out a meal.

Not quite sure what I think about green chicken but we do love green peppers! :>) I linked to this on my weekly roundup, post is here. (I used to not care for green peppers too much but I've found the key is to keep them in small pieces. Even when I make "stuffed green peppers", I either layer diced peppers on the bottom of the casserole dish or just toss them in to cook with the rice. Much preferred!

My family isn't big fans of green peppers. We do enjoy red peppers. And I'll substitute them in a recipe anytime.
We've had to cut down on our grocery bill out of necessity. It's been a learning process, with lots of mistakes and lots of help.
Even our teen has learned to look for weekly grocery sales and food clearances at the grocery store.

Judy you hit the nail on the head there-the ADA seems to have HUGE amounts of carbs and, well, the stupid carbs are what drive up his blood sugar! I am getting NOWHERE with finding out what range of carbs he is allowed to ingest on a daily basis. If I just had a number to shoot for I could do this, but I'm upstream without a paddle and my boat has sprung a leak-in other words, gettin' nowhere fast! LOL!
Thanks Judy, that really helps! Another reader sent me a link, which linked to another site, of diabetics who blog what they eat AND HOW MANY CARBS IT HAS!!!! They also post what it does to their meter readings, which is also a huge help. We've managed to keep him under 140 for several days now, with a gradual downward trend so we're hoping for even more improvement as we get a handle on this.
Steph-just so you know, many of your meals are GREAT for diabetics because they're low in "bad" carbs, low in fat, have lots of veggies, etc. Because you don't use wheat products, many of your meals have less overall carbs than their processed-wheat-centric counterparts. I can't use them all, but a suprising number of them are absolutely fine, which tickles me pink!

A friend recommended this blog today and I am excited to peruse your site. We are gluten-free in our family. Like you, we don't feel it changes the way we eat terribly much, we just feel SO much better. My husband had a bad stomach for 17 years. We tried everything, until one day I began reading about gluten. I convinced him (it took awhile) to try to go gluten-free. The turnaround was amazing and quick! He definitely does not miss the gluten!

Could I use a can of Rotel instead of all chiles? I wonder how that would be. I love tomatoes in these kind of pepper recipies.

This was a huge, huge hit. My kids both scarfed it down. Hooray!
- December 22, 2009 at 6:54 PM
Excellent! The substitutions: I used peppers from the garden of varying degrees of heat (jalapeno, anaheim, etc) All peppers had already turned red. No can chilies, and I added extra water (3/4 cup total) to make up the difference. Also, I did not blend the peppers, so we had chunks. My fear with going "all garden" was that the meal would be too hot spice-wise, the sour cream helped moderate this concern (I probably added too much, but the meal tasted great!)

This was a huge hit with my kids! I used three chicken breasts and had plenty to feed my family of six.
I squeezed some lime juice on the chicken and used fresh green bell peppers and poblanos. This had the right amount of heat and smelled amazing as it cooked. I didn't have any sour cream and I doubt I'll add it the next time. A definite addition to our meal reptoire!
- December 23, 2009 at 8:49 PM

This was REALLY yummy. We ate our over rice and my husband and I added a couple of dashes of Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce to ours because we like a little heat. Our daughter (17 months) however loved it just the way it is.
I also don't love green peppers so I was surprised to find that I loved this.
Love your blog BTW (as does my family who eats the meals I make). :)

THis was soooooooo good!!!! the corn tortillas did not work for us but over rice is wonderful and the best part is, my husband liked it! He's a bit picky so I was pleased, gluten free and I get to make it again!!! :) btw, I only had 2 chicken breasts and it was enough to feed hubby, me, three kids and I had leftovers the next day. Not sure how I did that.

I made this for dinner last night and it was YUMMY! I added a can of Rotel (in addition to the can of chiles) and a little garlic powder. I served it over pasta. It was soooo good.
Unfortunately my crockpot sparked and died about an hour before dinner and I had to finish it on the stove. It was still good, and now I have a new crockpot :)

I love this one. It has become one of my family favorites.
We do like it a little hotter than the original. I always use poblano peppers instead of bell peppers and medium chilies instead of mild...and than I shred the chicken. It is always SOOO GOOD!!!!
Thanks so much for such an easy recipe...

I hate green peppers, so I used another's suggestion of using tomatillos and it was really good!

I wasn't sure about this when it was cooking as it smelled a little weird. But Oh MY GOODNESS ... my toddlers ate it all up (and they rarely eat anything!) I used two fresh peppers from my garden, too. It was so exciting! Thanks so much. This definitely is going in the menu rotation.
- August 23, 2010 at 6:21 AM
Because I want our family to eat organic, grass fed and no-antibiotic/hormone meat... it's expensive! I've been coming to your blog quite often these days for interesting chicken dishes I can make in my crockpot. I now buy one whole chicken a week, and then use absolutely every little part of it - I can usually make 12-15 meals out of it, due to my crockpot and great recipes like the ones on this blog!
Thanks so much for making it easier to feed my family the healthiest food possible, on a budget and without a huge hassle in the kitchen.

I made this tonight, and it was a hit with my family. I had only a little bit of green pepper but plenty of orange and yellow, so I used all three. The only thing I didn't like was having to pour out the sauce to puree it. I guess that's a good reason for me to buy myself an immersion blender! Instead of sour cream, I threw in a block of low-fat cream cheese. We ate this as quesadillas and have enough left over to eat with rice tomorrow night. Thanks!

I just tried this tonight. I added several cloves of garlic, and subbed two hot green cherry peppers and a few handfuls of roasted red pepper strips for the green chiles. Cooked it on high in my 6-qt Rival for a little over three hours. (I also blended up the peppers in my little Cuisinart beforehand, rather than using an immersion blender after the fact. Because as much as I love my immersion blender, it's too much of a pain to clean.)
It smells WONDERFUL, but I think it tastes a little bit bland. It's good with salsa but if I hadn't been lazy I probably would have topped it off with some cheddar and a few other things. I don't know what I'd do differently - maybe add more salt and more garlic? I haven't had canned green chiles since I was a kid, but I don't recall them having a super-strong flavor...but maybe that's what was missing?
Overall it was a satisfactory dinner and a great way to use up green peppers, but I don't really see making it again.

Subsituted poblanos and jalepenos for the green peppers. Also used chicken broth instead of water. Added cumin at the end and ended up shredding the chicken. We were very happy with the results! Great recipe!!

The original Clarisonic made such a splash in the past couple of years that other beauty gadgets rarely get a chance to shine. If you're looking to gift someone an investment--a tool that really works--we've rounded up a few of our favorites. One zaps zits, another lasers off hair at home, and the most aesthetically appealing, a Catbird atomizer, distributes perfume on the go.Clarisonic Opal ($185)
If your serums and moisturizers don't penetrate the skin they're useless, so Clarisonic whipped up the Opal. Load your favorite formulas into the soft tip, turn on, and let the sonic vibration melt their magic into your skin. Skin appears smoother in just 30 seconds, with firmer skin in 4 weeks.
Tria Hair Removal Laser ($395)
Laser hair removal takes time and money, but this device gives you permanent results at home for a fraction of the price. The small surface area makes it best for the bikini area, underarms, and face.
Tanda Clear+ ($195)
Like the original Tanda Zap, the Clear+ uses blue LED light to kill acne-causing bacteria. The larger head allows the vibrations to reach more surface area, protecting against and banishing breakouts.
Catbird Perfume Stick Roller ($48)
Sleek and practical, this ball roller can be filled with any perfume and tucked into the smallest evening bag, wallet, or even your pocket.
T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i ($250)
This hair dryer is the industry standard: it delivers smoothing ions, cuts drying time dramatically, and reduces damage (not to mention stress) during a rushed morning. Even better: it's lightweight, quiet, and comes with a ceramic barrel brush.
Temptu Signature Starter Kit ($199)
Forget brushes or sponges, this gadget airbrushes foundation, blush, and highlighter onto your skin for a smooth, even finish.
Lightstim For Wrinkles LED Light Therapy ($249)
The wand's LED light penetrates the top layer of skin to boost collagen production--a vital component in maintaining skin's youthful appearance.

Currently you only need 100 posts to become a "Senior Citizen" and after only 15 posts (!!!!) you become a "Full Member".This is ridiculous. There is no way to distinguish the true seniour citizens who have upwards of 1,000 and sometimes upwards of 2,000 posts from some dude who is practically a newbie with only 100 posts.I submit that AT LEAST 400 posts be required for Senior Citizen status. Also, at least 100 posts should be required to become a full member.I also propose the new category of "Venerated Citizen" for those with over 10,000 posts.Please sign the petition if you think my proposal is a good idea. Are you serious?
I'll sign it too, but only after I reach 100. And only if all people who were already senior citizens before this point, but have less than 400 posts, can still maintain their senior citizen status.
I dont' think they can do that...I think there can only be 1 number. So if its set at 400, no one under 400 would keep their sr. citizen status...

By Joseph Andrew Lee
With the release of the maile lei Monday, Army Maj. Gen. Anthony Crutchfield, other military leaders, USO sponsors and staff officially re-opened USO Hawaii's renovated Honolulu Airport Center.
"It had been 30 years since any updates were made to the center," said Leigh Leilani Graham, area director for USO Hawaii and Guam. "And with the USO being the first impression of Hawaii for many military and their families, it was in desperate need of a makeover."
Hawaiian music and the fresh scent of tropical flowers greets guests with what locals call "aloha spirit" as they walked into the refurbished center, which is lined with hardwood floors and furnished with Hawaiian wood tables with high-backed wood chairs.
The renovation of this new island-style luxury center includes a sleeping room, marble showers, a dressing area, a free refreshment center and large screen televisions. There's also a keiki area – or children's area – where kids can play while waiting for flights.
Open 365 days a year, the USO center at Honolulu International Airport serves more than 4,000 travel-weary military visitors each month, giving most their first taste of Hawaii, whether they are arriving for a permanent change of station or just a well-earned vacation. "USO Hawaii is a beloved institution and an integral part of Hawaii's history," Gov. Neil Abercrombie said in a statement released to coincide with the ceremony. "From welcoming our troops at more than 78 smaller USO clubs all across the islands during World War II, to the state-of-the-art centers we have today, [the] USO has proven the perfect place for our military and their families to enjoy the aloha spirit."
Of course, USO Hawaii couldn't give the airport center a facelift without help from generous donors. BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin and two anonymous donors from Texas provided seed money for the project. Then, the Lend Lease Corporation – a defense contractor – stepped in with a cash donation and then recruited subcontractors to donate time and materials to complete the project.
Hundreds of troops and guests in attendance enjoyed emcee Billy V. of Hawaiian 105 "Da Kine" and music from legendary Hawaiian performer Henry Kapono as the center was blessed in a traditional Hawaiian ceremony and reintroduced to the community. The center had been closed for renovations since the end of November.
The center will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
"Our Honolulu Airport USO is a vital hub for welcoming hundreds of thousands of military and their families from around the globe each year," USO President Sloan Gibson said in a release to mark the occasion. "The opening of this center on the USO's 72nd birthday is a milestone for Hawaii and our entire nation in committing our best for those who keep us free."

In the Land of Blood and Honey
War, Romance
Set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War that tore the Balkan region apart in the 1990s, In the Land of Blood and Honey tells the story of Danijel and Ajla, two people from different sides of a brutal ethnic conflict. Danijel, a soldier fighting for the Serbs, and Ajla, a Bosnian held captive in the camp he oversees, knew each other before the war, and could have found love with each other. But as the armed conflict takes hold of their lives, their relationship grows darker, their motives and connection to one another ambiguous, their allegiances uncertain.

Read: Will Stu Bickel Be Taken Out Of The Lineup on Wednesday?
On Saturday, Stu Bickel played 5:32, had one hit and two giveaways to go with a fight.
On Sunday, Bickel played 14:15, had one hit, three blocked shots, a roughing penalty and was beaten by Joe Vitale on what ended up being Tyler Kennedy's goal.
Steve Zipay writes at Newsday that he would probably insert Matt Gilroy into the lineup to replace Bickel.

Janning Drops 34 as Bluejays' WBB Downs Providence, 97-65
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Four Bluejays finished in double figures, led by 34 from sophomore Marissa Janning, as the Creighton women's basketball team downed Providence, 97-65, on Saturday, Jan. 11.
The win lifted Creighton to 10-7 overall and 4-1 in BIG EAST action, while Providence fell to 5-10 on the season and 0-4 in conference play.
The Bluejays committed to pounding the ball inside early as seniors Sarah Nelson and Alyssa Kamphaus scored Creighton's first three baskets. Providence, however, answered each time tying the game at 6-6 for the third time.
Creighton responded by getting Janning an open look from outside the arc along the right elbow. The Minnesota native delivered and a foul was called away from the ball on Providence. Given another possession, Nelson took advantage with her third bucket of the game to give the Bluejays an 11-6 edge with 16:04 remaining in the half.
Out of the first media timeout, Providence hit consecutive treys to take a 12-11 lead, it would prove to be the only lead the Friars held. Janning answered with a three-ball of her own to put Creighton back in front at 14-12.
The game remained close late into the opening period. Leading 23-22 (8:18), Creighton used an 18-5 burst to build some separation. Janning and Kamphaus led the charge with a combined 12 points, during the run. The Bluejays went on to push their lead to 17 at half, 51-34, behind a layup from senior McKenzie Fujan and two free throws from Nelson.
The intermission did nothing to slow down Creighton's run as the Bluejays scored 10 of the first 12 points in the second half, including seven more by Janning. Up 61-36 with 18:17 showing on the clock, the Bluejay advantage was trimmed to 15 with 11:41 left (67-52). The Bluejays put the game away with a layup from Kamphaus, a trifecta by Nelson and a pull-up jumper from Janning to make it 74-52.
Janning's 34 point outburst eclipsed her previous career-high of 29, finishing 13-of-17 from the field and 6-of-9 from beyond the arc. Fujan chipped in 18, while Nelson and Kamphaus each posted 11 points in the win.
Providence's Alexis Harris led the Friars with 17 points.
As a unit, the Bluejays finished the game a season-high 62% from the field (37-of-60).
Creighton returns to action on Wednesday, Jan. 15 as the Bluejays host Xavier at 7 pm in D.J. Sokol Arena.
NOTES: Janning's 30+ point effort marks the second time in the last three games that a Bluejay has topped the 30-point threshold (Fujan - 38 vs. DePaul). Before this season, the last time a Bluejay topped 30 was Chevelle Herring on Dec. 13, 2008 vs. Kansas ... The 32-point victory is the largest conference margin of victory for Creighton since the Bluejays downed Indiana State, 79-46 on Jan. 14, 2002.

I dunno. How much is it?
Anyone else besides me thinks Oracle is way expensive?
I dunno. How much is it?
It is licensed by processors on the server. We paid $15,000 for each processor on one server ($30,000 total, just for the Oracle license.) Someone from another department told us that was a real low price, his dept. having paid more than $100,000 for the licences for the cluster.
If companies are willing to pay that price for it, it must be worth it. If the $100,000 they spend on the license will generate or save the company $200,000, it's a good deal.
Well, put it this way -- they are all really good DB's, but its the fact that you are getting SOME form of technical support. From the little experience I have in DBA, that can be a real benefit. Especially for a company without a godly DBA to cover the company's ass in crisis situations.
Now for the average Joe, MS SQL and the OSS DB's are probably better suited. Oracle and whatever the IBM flavor is (cant remember -- brain fart) are the high end of the high end. Trickster, if you want a really good SQL server, MySQL and PostgreSQL are the two best (from what I hear and have seen) OSS options.
Allright. However, that license did not include support. It did include a 1 year upgrade option. I guess the county does not care much about the price, which is why they went with Oracle. (Besides, they are running an app called Maximo which requires Oracle.) It just struck me as expensive.
Someone at work mentioned that the county did not wanted to go with OSS solutions, not because of lack of quality, but of support (I assume they don't feel comfortable enough with support from consultants I guess.)
Point them to the respective websites. There are a plethora of private companies that will install, maintain, and support in house technicians and DBAs. PostgreSQL IIRC is primarily a private company that offers the DB as an OSS package, but tries to push the commercial version. I may be wrong as to which one is free and commercial in that respect, but my heart is saying PostgreSQL. Either way check the sites -- there are a ton of places last time I checked. Squid and Apache are another pair of apps that fit into this category as well.

Where can I learn oracle.. A lot of jobs now require you to know oracle..
I would download it from the Oracle website (it's free) and install it on my computer. Then buy a decent tutorial book on Oracle and start reading it and start working with the installed software. Unless you have money to spend on an Oracle course.

Gone a little scarf crazy recently, so now only the good ones are getting worn. Just wished I was better at wrappping them. I tried so many times to make it look like that cool infinity circle, but fail ever time. I like the frayed edge look, but more that they actually hemmed the fray to protect the scarf.

Ordinarily I would have been in the zendo right now. Ordinarily it would have been my turn to give the little dharma talkette tonight, and I intended to commemorate International Women's Day (which is tomorrow) by talking about American women in Zen. However, I was not able to be in the zendo this evening, so Joe's talk was about Vimalakirti — a far-out Buddhist teacher dude from back in the Buddha's day.
So here is my online offering for tonight:

Thousands of miles away on Bioko Island of Equatorial Guinea, Drexel researchers have been working to save the endangered primate species Mandrillus leucophaeus, or the drill monkey. These rare animals are threatened with extinction due to the increasing bushmeat trade in West Africa. The Drill Project is a conservation initiative and wildlife documentary featuring never-before-seen footage of the drill in its natural habitat. The film was shot entirely by Drexel biologist Dr. Shaya Honarvar and conservation biologist and director Justin Jay. The film is currently airing on television in Equatorial Guinea but has not been seen anywhere else in the world. Please join us for this exclusive screening and learn how Drexel is playing a unique conservation role in West Africa—one aimed at educating the local public, not condemning. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Dr. Shaya Honarvar; biologist Dr. Gail Hearn, who leads Drexel's conservation efforts on Bioko; Justin Jay, the film's director; and Ph.D. candidate Jake Owens, who studies the drills in the wild.Watch the trailer and learn more about "The Drill Project" here. This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served following the screening.

Cleveland 103, Clippers 95
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 11/11/07, 11:15pm:
The Clippers lost this game on the glass at the defensive end. During Cleveland's torrid fourth quarter, they got three tip-ins over a two minute stretch; sandwiched in between that series of tips were two easy layups – one by Ira Newble and the other from Damon Jones. In other words, the Cavs' shot chart was atrocious. Over a seven possession period, the Cavs converted exactly one first shot and got to the line for a pair of free throws; but they managed to pick up eight additional points by grabbing loose rebounds. I'd break down the 10-0 run except that I don't think it's terribly revealing to meticulously look at possessions that result in put-backs. Some of it was bad luck -- for instance, when Kaman blocked James' shot and his momentum carried him too far underneath the basket to recover for the loose ball. On a subsequent possession, Ilgauskas dragged Kaman far enough away from the basket – and Z has to be picked up as far away as 18 feet – to open up space underneath. Another was on a 4-1 break that Jones couldn't convert – but the trailer picked up the garbage. On the final put-back, Newble was able to squirt past Ross for the tip.
Meanwhile, on the offensive end, the Clips couldn't execute anything. The Cavs are a remarkably strong interior defensive squad with Ilgauskas, Gooden, Newble, and James – who is as good as anyone at collapsing on penetrators. Tim Thomas spaced on a basic give-n-go with Cassell out on the arc with a negligent hand-off that went out of bounds. Wretched. Maggette got himself wedged on a baseline drive and threw up a ridiculous reverse that resulted in another transition basket for Cleveland. Kaman went an eternity without getting a touch. I don't want to get too effusive – especially on a night when the Clippers laid an egg -- but Kaman is working unbelievably good opportunities for himself with heady decisions. Take the three-point-play against Ilgauskas after he reentered the game in the fourth:
The Clippers dump it into Chris just off the mid-left post against Ilgauskas. As Newble comes down from the foul stripe to double him, Chris spins baseline with a beautiful drop step away from the double-team, switches to his left hand and goes up with a sick reverse layup – and draws the foul.
Again, this isn't about picking up stats leftover from Elton's absence. Kaman has expanded his game, irrespective of whatever additional room he has to maneuver within the post. 10 for 15 from the field; once again, he recorded more blocks than turnovers; one foul in 38 minutes; 88% from the line this season. I embarrassed myself during the season preview on The Jones last season by stating that Kaman was among the best centers in the league. Skeets spared me a lashing – there was merely a deafening silence. But it isn't like Chris is merely padding his line with garbage putbacks. Every score tonight with possibly one exception was the result of a skilled move against one of the three best interior defenses in the L. This is real. So include Kim Hughes during your holiday gift-giving barrage.
Given what they have to work with, the Cavs do a nice job with their reserves. Take Cedric Simmons. Basically, the Cleveland coaching staff at the start of the season told the guy, "You have one job on this team: Create space for LeBron in the halfcourt." And you know what? The guy set at least three perfect screens for LeBron in his nine minutes on the court.
John and I got upgraded to front row center court right behind Ralph and Mike. Watching the game is a visceral experience from there – you hear everything…but most of all, you have a direct read on the tone of the game at a given moment. There's an electric force field that surrounds the court during an NBA game, and when you're that close, you're inside it. I'll have more tomorrow on some of our observations. The most notable takeaway – hat tip, John – LeBron James is at least a half-step quicker than anyone else on the court.

NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Pete Ames awoke Saturday morning to find his cemetery in shambles.
"It was devastating," Ames said, hours after the storm ravaged the historic Oakwood Cemetery, where he serves as a secretary on the Board of Directors.
On Facebook, the cemetery posted an "urgent" plea for volunteers. The storm's powerful winds had knocked trees down and left limbs scattered across the cemetery. In all, Ames said the damages probably totaled "thousands of dollars."
This was going to be a big cleanup.
"We can use all the help we can get," Ames said on Saturday.
By Sunday, his wish had come true.
"People have been coming from all over to help us out," Ames said.
A few dozen volunteers gave up their Sunday to help dispose of debris at the cemetery, including people from the Boys and Girls Club, families of the deceased in the cemetery and two representatives from a neighboring cemetery. Ames estimates it will probably take much of the rest of the week to finish the work, but at least the volunteers helped him get started.
They're trying to get everything back to normal by Aug. 3, when the cemetery will host the "Angels of Oakwood" even to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the mausoleum.
There's one thing that can't be fixed, though.
"Unfortunately, most of the trees that were damaged were the older, large trees," Ames said. "Couldn't knock down a dead tree. Had to pick on the living ones, unfortunately."

Among those arrested was Skowhegan resident Michele Corson, 43, who has been charged her with conspiracy and being an accomplice to first-degree murder.
EXETER, N.H. (AP) _ First, a New Hampshire man was charged with killing his ex-wife. Now, two others have been arrested in connection with her death: his current wife and his sister.
Exeter firefighters discovered the body of Amanda "Amy'' Warf after putting out a fire at a long-vacant plant in March.
Thirty-six-year-old Aaron Desjardins of Epping was charged with first-degree murder. He had told the media he had nothing to do with her death.
Authorities have now arrested 34-year-old Sarah Desjardins of Epping, Desjardins's current wife, on two conspiracy charges in connection with Warf's death.
Also arrested was 43-year-old Michele Corson of Skowhegan, Maine, on a fugitive from justice charge. New Hampshire authorities have charged her with conspiracy and being an accomplice to first-degree murder. Corson is Aaron Desjardins's sister.

Film Review – DVD: A Child's Garden of Poetry
DVD: A Child's Garden of Poetry, Presented by HBO Family & The Poetry Foundation
I was given this DVD and I thought to myself what a wonderful idea to put poetry to simple animation. I was eager to watch it with my kiddo.
The DVD is filled with many poems from works by Shakespeare, E. E. Cummings and Emily Dickinson to just name a few.
The poems are read by many famous performers and also has some recordings of the poets themselves talking. This is all intertwinded with spots of children of various ages talking of poetry and speaking poetry.… More
