I'm thinking we might give this recipe a try! We'll just sub out the ground beef with ground turkey (I dislike the taste of ground beef & ground turkey is healthier). I bet this would make a great quick & easy set-it-and-forget-it meal!ReplyDelete
I love Taco Soup and I love your step-by-step instructions! You can't go wrong if you follow this! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Mom makes this often, yet I have never made it. I keep intending to ask for the recipe. Now that you've shared this recipe and it seems easy, I will definitely give it a try! Thank you, Brandie <3ReplyDelete
I love soups like this - I made an enchilada chili the other day!ReplyDelete
And anything that is made in the crock pot is always a plus!
Oooh, looks nice and warming and hearty :) What a fun approach to soup!ReplyDelete
I was given this recipe when I was in Weight Watchers. At that time it was 3 points per cup, not sure what it is on the PointsPlus program but it was one of my favorite meals when I was doing the program. Hearty, filling and VERY good. Thank you for sharing, I love your blog.ReplyDelete
Oh YUM! I can testify to the wonderfulness of this soup because I have made it before. MMMM! I'm on a soup 'kick' right now too...have had several kinds since the first of the year already! Thanks for sharing another lucscious mouth-watering recipe. Your photos are always awesome too.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the recipe and photos.ReplyDelete
Oh,I LOVE the addition of the ranch seasoning mix. I bet that makes a big difference! I am definitely going to try this new take on taco soup :) Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous recipe! I loooove tacos. Congrats on Top 9!ReplyDelete
We love taco soup, but never thought to make it in the slow cooker! I'm making this one soon!ReplyDelete
Congrats on the Top 9 today!!!!
Funny This is my exact recipe... it is the bestReplyDelete
Love this!! I will have to bookmark this to make when Nichole arrives. Would be such an easy meal to put together! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I just put this in my crockpot. I doubled the recipe. The only thing I did differently was only use 1 small can of corn and I added 2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes. Will let you know how it turns out. It is already smelling delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe!ReplyDelete
Missy - that sounds great with the fire roasted tomatoes!ReplyDelete
We had the soup this morning. My husband works 3rd shift, so sometimes I fix something in the crock pot so it will be ready when he gets home in the morning. It was soooo good! My husband and I both loved it! I doubled the recipe so we can eat it all weekend! Glad I did, it is something that will heat up well and we wont get tired of it anytime soon! lol Thanks again for the recipe! Will have to share it with my friends!ReplyDelete
Two more hours left to cook but I couldn't resist a bite...SO GOOD! It's a little spicier than I was imagining but still fantastic!ReplyDelete
Elisha, so glad you liked it!! If you find it's still too spicy for ya, then next time I would just use a can of plain ole diced tomatoes rather than the one with chiles in it. :)ReplyDelete

I've made this many times except I usually use stew meat instead of ground beef. Its one of my family's favorite meals!ReplyDeleteReplies

And I use V8 juice instead of water. Gives it a richer flavor!Delete
I love this site, and I make this soup often, using ground turkey and the Chi Chi's brand restaurante style taco seasoning. We love it!ReplyDelete
I made this soup two days ago and we absolutely loved it!!! This will become one of my go-to recipes when I want to make soup.ReplyDelete

Y'all are the sweetest! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I am so, so happy you like this recipe!ReplyDelete

HI!! Love your BLOG!!! Wanted to make this for a group of gals and wondered if you had an estimate on how many this serves?? Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 3, 2013 at 5:29 PM
I've made this recipe before and it was great! But could you cook it on high for 3-4hrs when you need it done sooner then the 6-8hrs?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 20, 2013 at 12:42 AM
I love taco soup. We like to add a few corn chips to the soup just before serving. Yummy.ReplyDelete

Found this site for the first time today. Do U have dessert recipes for diabetics? Also other recipes for diabetics?ReplyDelete
Hi there! I'm sorry I don't really cook for diabetics so I don't really have any diabetic-friendly recipes. I'm sorry! However, if you send me an email, I could probably refer you to a couple of food bloggers who specialize in that diet.ReplyDelete
Can you use rotisserie chicken instead of ground beef?ReplyDelete
- Suzie GAugust 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM
I have cooked this basic recipe for years, anxious to try it with the ranch mix. I add 2 to 3 oz of boneless skinless chicken thigh to my bowl instead of burger. Very hearty and filling. It is a staple for me. YUMMO!!!ReplyDelete
I am making this as I type. I made a couple substitutions... I used cuban-style black beans instead of pinto, I also doubled the beef broth and added an extra packet of taco seasoning. I used regular diced, stewed tomatoes as my kids always say that Rotel is too spicy. I keep taking 'taste tests' so yummY!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Great substitutions Denise! Hope everyone loved it!Delete
I accidentally picked up sweet cream corn. Should I wait to get whole corn to add it? Would it mess it all up? Or would it just offset the spiciness of the Rotel?ReplyDeleteReplies
Creamed Corn will be fine. It'll just be a tad sweeter is all :)Delete

I made this soup and it was so delicious. This recipe is a keeper. SO easy.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yay! Thank you for taking the time to come back and letting me know how you enjoyed it!Delete
- AnonymousDecember 30, 2013 at 11:00 PM
If I didn't want it to be as "soupy" do you think I could omit the can of water?ReplyDelete
With ground turkey, I would recommend you to also replace the original taco seasoning with chicken taco seasoning :)ReplyDelete
- Patricia CookJanuary 7, 2014 at 4:35 PM
This is wonderful! I used black beans instead of pintos(don't like pintos) and Jennie-O taco seasoned ground turkey instead of ground beef. Have to try it with chicken taco seasoning mix as suggested by Abigail. Sounds good.ReplyDelete
What about substituting the ground beef for chicken? How do you think I should do this? Just add the chicken uncooked and let it cook with the rest of the ingredients? Any suggestions??ReplyDelete
- Lynn B.January 18, 2014 at 2:24 PM
This looked so good. I'm in the process of making it right now. (I'm cooking it on the stove so I can eat it sooner!)ReplyDelete
- Lynn B.January 18, 2014 at 4:22 PM
OK... I just finished making this soup on top of stove. It's wonderful! Thank you for sharing the recipe!ReplyDelete
How many servings does this make?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 21, 2014 at 10:53 AM
Looks yummy!ReplyDelete
Question - do you drain the cans of corn, tomatoes and beans before adding to pot, or throw it all in there, liquid and all?
Do you drain the corn and beans before putting them in the crock pot?ReplyDelete
This recipe was so good and a nice change from chili! It's a keeper and will make it again and again.ReplyDelete
This recipe is really good when you use several different kinds of beans instead of just 1. I make it a lot but use black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans and and you can use whatever you like. But I use 1 can of each bean, it makes more but after it cooks down it's so good, you can also add more rotel also.ReplyDelete
- Kelly LDecember 14, 2014 at 8:52 PM
This recipe looks great! My brother, his wife and 8 of his 9 kids are coming home for Christmas. They are staying at Mom & Dad's...I was looking for some easy recipes to help them out with...what size crockpot should I use? (I have several sizes...) Thanks! KellyReplyDelete
Do I drain the beans and corn and tomatoes? Or add the juices to the crockpot as well?ReplyDelete
My family loves this soup, i also add black beans to it and it is absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you for the great recipes.ReplyDelete
Is this recipe gluten free? If not, how could I convert it so I can prepare it that way? Thanks so much! This is a favorite in our home but I would like to make it for a gluten free family!ReplyDelete
This recipe is delicious and I shared it with my coworkers who raved about it as well. It was hearty and healthy and everything cooks in one pot! Brandie, I love how you give pictures of the ingredients because I know exactly what to buy. Your recipes are the best and your instructions are spot on.ReplyDelete
Thank You for another great recipe!!

Tavern on the Green Reopens in Understated Fashion
Tavern on the Green reopened Thursday night after a four-year hiatus with a bold break from its past identity: It barely acknowledged the occasion.
There were no swords doubling as carving knives, such as the one featured in the restaurant's last reopening in 1976 under restaurateur Warner LeRoy. There were no gigantic sundaes or 16-foot long cakes. And it was far too cold for bikinis.
The loudest noise came from whistles screeching from a crowd of union protestors. Instead of animal topiary, customers were greeted by a giant inflated rat.
"Just more bells and whistles," said proprietor Jim Caiola with a strained smile.
It was all part of the new low-key Tavern concept. By 7:30 p.m., the restaurant was pleasantly full with reservation-holding customers and bar walk-ins, but was hardly crowded, with couples and friends tucked into low booths by the bar. Quiet conversations filtered through the room over a mellow soundtrack of Norah Jones and Frank Sinatra. Tavern officials said they served 557 diners Thursday.
In other words, Tavern slid seamlessly into position as an upscale neighborhood restaurant, nestled at the edge of Central Park. Still, the restaurant is sold out for the next two weeks, a spokesman said.
"This is like a preview," said David Salama, Mr. Caiola's life and business partner, who helped oversee the restaurant's multimillion dollar overhaul. A gala on May 12 "will be the big blowout," he said.
Some guests didn't even realize they had snagged a seat on opening night.
"Is today the first day?" asked Elske Parker, a 37-year-old from Hoboken who was there celebrating her mother's 76th birthday at the bar. "Oh my God, I cannot believe [it]."
Her mother, Pia, said she "didn't have much hope to get in" when they arrived, but was pleasantly surprised. She had visited the restaurant decades ago and was eager to see it again.
"This is lovely," she said. "And my martini is great."
At its peak, Tavern was the highest grossing restaurant in the country, earning $37 to $38 million in revenues a year. But by the time the license agreement with the city expired in 2009, the place had fallen into disrepair.
"It had really gotten shabby," said Bill Wynne, 61, who strolled in to grab a drink at the bar with his wife, Barbara.
The couple live across the street and christened their son at the restaurant in 1991. "We have fond memories of the place," he said. "It's a delightful reemergence in the neighborhood. I think it's fantastic. They've scaled it down but made it more interesting."
The only thing they miss?
"The lights," said Barbara with a sigh, referring to the lights that once encircled tree branches but are no longer allowed by the city. The couple planned to come back on Monday for a birthday party, and again on Tuesday for a date night, they said.
"It's all neighbors," Mr. Salama said. "They haven't had that for many, many years."

on January 30, 2013 - 12:24 AM
, updated January 30, 2013 at 12:55 AM
A crazy Tuesday for Buffalo Sabres rookie Mikhail Grigorenko went like this: It started with a great morning but morphed into what looked like a largely forgettable night until it was turned around by the moment everyone in town was waiting for.
The Sabres released the pressure but increased the expectations on the 18-year-old with one simple conversation Tuesday morning, when General Manager Darcy Regier and coach Lindy Ruff told him he was staying in the NHL and not returning to junior hockey.
Grigorenko responded by getting benched in the second period after he was on the ice for all three of the Toronto Maple Leafs' goals to that point. He reset himself in the second intermission and scored his first NHL goal at 7:10 of the third period to draw the Sabres even in their eventual 4-3 overtime loss to the Leafs.
"After the second period, I didn't have any emotion. I was really down," Grigorenko said. "I was having a game where things didn't work well for me. In the third period, they put me on the ice and I started to play really good. I scored a goal and it took me away from all the pressure."
Grigorenko took Mike Weber's rebound and slid a backhander low along the ice between the legs of Toronto goaltender James Reimer to pull Buffalo into a 3-3 tie. He was in the midst of a windmill celebration until winger Marcus Foligno tackled him and they slid together into the boards as the crowd at First Niagara Center unleashed by far its loudest cheer since the NHL returned.
"I was in front of the net, the defenseman shot the puck and I was just ready for the rebound," Grigorenko said. "I put it on the net and finally it went between the legs. I was really excited. It would have been a great night for me. I was real happy I scored a goal but we lost the game so I feel bad."
Grigorenko lost Matt Frattin on Toronto's second goal and was beaten by Tyler Bozak on a faceoff that directly led to Cody Franson's shot from the point that produced the Leafs' third tally. Ruff sat him for the last 13 minutes of the second period but said he didn't think of calling it a night for the rookie.
"I didn't want to leave him where he was at," Ruff said. "I wanted him to go out and try to make a difference. I've talked to him at length about this process and developing and growth. There's going to be pain, I'm going to feel pain and he's going to feel some. But as an organization we feel he can grow and help us win. He helped us get a point tonight. He can be better but that's a pretty good night to come back for him and help us get the point."
Overall, Grigorenko finished at 10:05 of ice time. The goal was his only shot and he had a minus-2 rating while going 1-6 on faceoffs. Earlier in the day, Regier said the combination of development and helping the team win tipped the scales in Grigorenko's favor. The GM then recounted the message he had for the franchise's most bally-hooed prospect in many years.
"I asked him if he knew what the expression, 'You never arrive' means," Regier said. "And after more conversation he did. And that's the challenge. You don't arrive. You never arrive. You can't have an attitude or a mindset of arriving because I've seen that happen too many times with young players and it becomes problematic."
Quite simply, the Sabres need centers and they need skilled ones. So what purpose would sending their No. 1 draft pick back to the Quebec Ramparts serve?
"It's really amazing news and I'm really happy and really excited," said Grigorenko, who will earn a pro-rated $925,000 under his entry-level contract. "It's a good step in my career and I'll do everything to show people they made the right choice."
Grigorenko becomes the first 18-year-old to earn a spot as a regular with the Sabres since former No. 1 overall pick Pierre Turgeon in 1987 (Martin Biron and Jay McKee combined to play four games when they were 18 during the 1990s).
Sabres players got the news on the ice from Ruff at the end of their workout. They greeted the word with stick taps for Grigorenko and several players gave him a face-wash with their gloves.
Several Sabres have said in recent days how they've been impressed with Grigorenko's work habits off the ice.
"He's a good kid. He listens. He wants to learn, wants to get better," said Thomas Vanek. "He's a mature kid for his age," added captain Jason Pominville. "He comes to the rink, works hard every day. … He's here to make plays. That's what he's capable of doing. He's got the talent to do it and got rewarded for it by making the team. As an 18-year-old, it's pretty impressive."

quote: An unwanted child is better off alive then dead.
quote: I agree that some people are not good parents and don't want their children, or mistreat them throughout the child's life. However that doesn't justify killing the child.
quote: What does our composition have to do with absolutely anything? You are factually biologically ALIVE when as soon as you are conceived.
quote: Many people cannot effectively care for themselves let alone another human - so if a few of these inept would-be mothers are SMART enough to acknowledge this and decide to end a pregnancy before it spawns a problem
quote: Furthermore, whether or not it is alive is irrelevant. To humans, the value of life is evaluated on a sliding scale based on relatively ambiguous observations and perceptions. An embryo falls below insects on this scale because an insect is, at least, a fully developed creature.
quote: You said that human life begins when the human in question can survive without the environment provided by the mother's body.
quote: No one agrees that killing a human being not convicted of any crime is moral. It is rather difficult for a fetus to commit a crime.
quote: You are accusing me of judging the value of human life, then you claim that you know what constitutes a life quality index below which death is preferable.
quote: Actually a human being at any stage of it's development is still biologically a human being. Life is a continous process that begins at conception and ends at death
quote: Plopping an embryo on a table and have someone observe it is entirely beside the point. We are not discussing the appearance of a human being, we are talking about what biologically constitutes a human being. Nice red herring.
quote: Actually, whether someone is alive or not is very relevant. Which humans are worth less than others by your ambiguous observations and perceptions? I believe that any member of the species homo sapiens is worth as much as any other. I'm curious to hear which ones you ambiguously perceive to be worth less than others.

Longford DVD
"This HBO Films drama tells the true story of the British Lord Frank Aungier Pakenham, 7th Earl of Longford, and his controversial, colorful, headline-making friendship with one of Britain's most notorious criminals, child murderess Myra Hindley. A devout Catholic, Longford often visited prisoners because of his passionate belief in forgiveness and society's need for prisoner rehabilitation. He meets with Hindley - a young woman serving a life sentence for child murders committed with her lover, Ian Brady - shortly after her imprisonment and the visits incite widespread public outrage. Their unlikely friendship ultimately undermined his career and, possibly, her 36-year attempt to win freedom.

Buffalo Sabres general manager Darcy Regier remembers precisely when he last witnessed goalie Ryan Miller displaying the same laser sharp focus he's showing this season.
"It was during the last Olympics," Regier said. "I remember thinking in 2010, I don't know if I've ever seen this level of focus over this period of time."
That's an important observation because Miller is in an intense competition with Jonathan Quick (Los Angeles Kings), Jimmy Howard (Detroit Red Wings), Craig Anderson (Ottawa Senators) and others to be one of the U.S. goalies for the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.
MORE: Jason Arnott retires
The early read on Miller is he is doing all within his power to be named to the group. His .919 save percentage is tops among the primary contenders.
"Other than two games when he came a little bit off the track, he has been very, very good under difficult circumstances," Regier said.
Miller has been playing well for the NHL's worst team, which has won twice in regulation in 16 games.
"It's about his focus," Regier said. "He has narrowed his focus on his own game and making the next save and doing what he can do. It's a mature focus. There is not a lot of wasted energy. There's not a lot of wasted emotion."
Miller was the American hockey hero in 2010, leading the team to a silver medal. But since then, Quick has developed into one of the league's premier goalies, and Howard and Anderson are coming off strong seasons.
Meanwhile, Miller's Sabres are rebuilding, and his team is listening to offers for his services.
SOCHI CHIEF: Rainbows are welcome
"He is in a spot where, depending upon what happens between now and June, he's a pending unrestricted free agent," Regier said. "He has the Olympics. And he didn't have quite the season he wanted last year, and I think those three things represent plenty of motivation if that is what he needed. He has been impressive."
U.S. general manager David Poile says how goalies are playing in November and December will play a big role in if they will make the team.
U.S. goalie ranking: 1. Quick, impressive body of work over the past two years. 2. Miller, playing at an eye-catching level. 3. Howard, consistency is his strong suit. 4. Anderson, not playing quite as well as last season. 5. Ben Bishop (Tampa Bay Lightning), has a .925 save percentage. 6. Cory Schneider (New Jersey Devils), always well-liked by USA Hockey. 7. Tim Thomas (Florida Panthers), great résumé, but he's hurt.
WHO WAS AT USA's ORIENTATION CAMP
Injuries: Anderson, stiff neck, day-to-day; defenseman Jacob Trouba (Winnipeg Jets), upper body, indefinitely.
Stock rising: Toronto Maple Leafs left wing James van Riemsdyk has taken another step in his development and probably is one of the favorites to make the team. He's third among U.S.-born forwards in average ice time (20 minutes, 34 seconds a game). That's more than Zach Parise (Minnesota Wild), Patrick Kane (Chicago Blackhawks) or Phil Kessel (Toronto). Van Riemsdyk is seventh among U.S.-born scorers with seven goals and six assists in 13 games. He kills penalties effectively.
Stock falling: Defenseman Dustin Byfuglien (Winnipeg Jets) seemed like an intriguing possibility last summer because of his booming shot, but he has not helped himself with his defensive play (minus 6). Plus, he doesn't have a goal.
Foreign market: Tobias Enstrom's decision not to participate in the Olympics opens a spot on Sweden's defense. Erik Karlsson (Ottawa), Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Phoenix Coyotes), Niklas Kronwall (Detroit), Alexander Edler (Vancouver Canucks), Niklas Hjalmarsson (Chicago), Jonas Brodin (Minnesota) and Victor Hedman (Tampa Bay) should have the first seven spots. Does that open a spot for Detroit's Jonathan Ericsson? He seems like a logical choice, but perhaps Chicago's Johnny Oduya is in the picture.

Many in the Fourth Estate were recently saddened by news that The Washington Post and related publications are being sold to Jeffrey P. Bezos, founder and chief executive officer of Amazon.com, for $250 million cash.
"A death in the family" was a typical reaction. The Post's own news story said "several veteran employees cried" when the Graham family, guardians of the paper for generations, broke the news of the sale at an employee gathering.
Tears notwithstanding, the sale is cause for celebration, because it gives rise to the hope that The Post will start doing what a good newspaper does - honestly reporting what's important to its readers.
The Post has been a mediocre newspaper in drag for a long time, and it can be judged by what we see in Washington, D.C., today. The District, itself, is mess. And the nation's three branches of government in that city are failing the American people in every imaginable way.
Had the watchdog been watching, the District and the nation would be in better shape today.
The newspaper lost its way decades ago, perhaps when the cult of the personalities took over. Larger-than-life figures included Publisher Katharine Graham and her executive editor, Benjamin E. Bradlee.
Graham, who died in 2001, cast a huge shadow (some considered her the most powerful woman in the world), and in her autobiography, she wrote that she was guided by the principle that "journalistic excellence and profitability go hand in hand."
She and Bradlee went after Pulitzer Prizes with abandon, and they captured a bunch. But "journalistic excellence and profitability" slipped away.
Graham's granddaughter, Katharine Weymouth, a lawyer by training, took over in February 2008, and she's been trying to dig out of the paper's hole ever since. She's cut staff, closed news bureaus in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago and eliminated the Sunday Book World section.
The verdict: Lawyers do not make good publishers.
In the first six months of 2013, circulation was off an additional 7.1 percent to 447,700 on weekdays and an additional 7.6 percent to 646,700 on Sundays, compared with the first six months of 2012. Ad revenue was down an additional 4 percent in the second quarter.
At normal newspapers, people are thrown out. At The Post, the towel was thrown in.
It's a good divorce for a suffering paper. Some of its more embarrassing moments:
- In1981, a Post reporter wrote a feature story about "Jimmy," an 8-year-old black boy who was a heroin addict. Bob Woodward, assistant managing editor, submitted the story for a Pulitzer Prize, and one was awarded.
The Pulitzer had to be returned, however. As it turns out, there was no "Jimmy" and the story was fiction. Bradlee, the executive editor, describes the incident as "the most serious blow to the Post's reputation while I was editor by far."
- On Jan. 17, 1998, Matt Drudge reported that Newsweek magazine (then owned by the Washington Post Co.) had killed a story about a White House intern having a sexual affair with the president of the United States.
Four days would pass before The Post could report on the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal.
- On July 1, 2009, The Post's Marking Department sent a flier to lobbyists, inviting them to cough up $25,000 each to attend an off-the-record "Washington Post Salon" at the publisher's home.
The "salon," entitled "Health-Care Reform: Better or Worse for Americans?" promised access to "those powerful few," including Obama administration officials, members of Congress,and the paper's own reporters and editors.
Politico reported on the flier, the newsroom erupted in anger and the event was canceled. "Salongate" was born.
What does the future hold for The Post? Everybody's watching. Maybe Jeff Bezos can figure out a successful business model for print in the digital age and produce a credible newspaper.
If he does, he'll be a hero. And if he doesn't, look for another announcement and more tears.

SALEM - Several local businesses and individual donors are offering time and money to grant a Christmas wish for Alissa Boyle, the 2008 United Local graduate injured while helping at an automobile crash earlier this year.
Coordinated by general contractor Shagnot Construction, the group of good Samaritans are donating time and money to install a handicap accessible shower onto an existing bathroom at the Boyle home just south of Salem.
Plans are to have the shower in by Christmas, according to Frank Shagnot Sr.
Article Photos
Alissa Boyle, with her parents Lori and Jim Boyle, look through tile at Home Depot of Salem that will be used in a handicap accessible shower being installed at the family home through the efforts of several area businesses and private donations. Boyle was paralyzed from the waist down while attempting to help at an automobile crash in February. Joining the Boyles are, from left, Frank Shagnot Jr. of Shagnot Construction, Jim Rupert of Home Depot, Pastor Rod Doran of Community Bible Church, Greg Habeth of United Rentals, Dan Gribben of Home Depot and Frank Shagnot Sr. of Shagnot Construction. (Salem News photo by Kevin Howell)
"Everybody involved has said the same thing, everybody has wanted to help out," he said. "We want to help out because of the situation...she is an invalid because she saved a man."
In February Boyle, who was set to graduate from the nursing program at Waynesburg University in May, jumped from an overpass on Interstate 79 in Pennsylvania, falling over 40 feet, to avoid being struck by oncoming traffic while assisting a man injured in a crash. She is now paralyzed from the waist down, but has resumed her studies and is continuing therapy in an effort to walk again.
Shagnot, who sings with Boyle's father, Jim, in a quartet, said the project has been in the works for almost two months.
Businesses also donating to the project include Jason Brown of Guilford Lake for tile installation, Home Depot of Salem for supplies and materials, United Rentals for an excavator and Mr. Guttermaker of Sebring for gutter work.
The Community Bible Church in Beloit has also made a monetary donation to the project and there are many other private donations, as well.
Boyle offered a heartfelt thanks to those in the community who have helped her in her recovery and transition in life, and recognized the efforts of those working on this project.
"It means a lot to me," she said. "This is going to help out a lot, make life a little easier for me."

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos has been—how shall I put this delicately—losing its must-see battle to the paint drying in the other room.
No, Brock Lesnar's Midas-like presence hasn't been working its magic thus far.
Normally, everything the former UFC Heavyweight Champion touches turns to promotional gold, but that's not been the case with TUF 13.
The first episode was a little mundane, but such is the nature of first episodes—they're either fantastic or yawners by nature since there's no body of work in which to be invested.
Either something sensational happens and gets your pulse racing right away, or you grin and bear it while story lines develop.
The UFC's reality show is no different.
Unfortunately, Episode 2 did little to advance either interest.
We got teased with controversy when Keon Caldwell suffered a crisis of commitment, but that petered out quickly as Keon hadn't engendered much juice in the first place. Additionally, a gentle undercurrent of displeasure surfaced when the judges strangely awarded Team Lesnar's Chris Cope a unanimous decision over Javier Torres.
Nevertheless, the show needs a boost so let's hope the next installment gives us one.
As usual, Bleacher Report will be live blogging the show with results and reactions if you can't get to a television.
Check back at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT when the action starts.

Bush was transported Monday by corrections officers to Genesee County Court, where he was arraigned on the charges from the sealed grand jury indictment warrant.

Schedules Contractor Success - Marketing Matters
A series of informational videos, designed to help GSA Schedules vendors is available for viewing on the GSA Interact website: GSA Schedules Training for Vendor Success.
The videos cover four key areas:
- What you should know about federal contracting;
- GSA's role in the Schedule program;
- A contractor's role in the Schedule program; and
- Marketing to the federal government.
This comprehensive training series reviews the basics of federal contracting and highlights the value of the GSA Schedules program. Current GSA vendors will learn the differences between the myth and the reality of being a GSA contract holder, how the government procurement process works, and the many ways the GSA Schedules program benefits both agencies and vendors.
The videos will provide an understanding and appreciation of the roles and responsibilities of both GSA and your organization, as part of the Schedules program. They also review many of the online tools and resources available to assist vendors with market research and lead generation.
"We hope the videos will give vendors some new ideas on how they can promote their contractor status to potential customers," Geri Haworth, Business Management Director with GSA's Management Services Center said. "We want them to make themselves more visible to agencies as companies who can meet their needs. At the end of the video series, vendors will have a better understanding of how to get noticed by buyers, stay relevant, and improve their marketing and business development efforts."

5 keys vs. NW: Lions usually able to wear down Wildcats
October 5, 2012 - Cory Giger
Five things to look for as Penn State tries to win its fourth straight game -- and first against a good team -- when it welcomes Northwestern for homecoming.
SUBHD: No. 1: Play four quarters
The numbers are staggering: Northwestern has not scored a single point in the second half against Penn State during Pat Fitzgerald's tenure as head coach. Zip. Zilch. It's 76-0 in favor of the Nittany Lions in four games since 2006.
When you consider that Northwestern has outscored the Lions 65-60 in the first half of those games, it's been obvious that PSU's adjustments and physical dominance have allowed it to take control and wear down the Wildcats.
Fitzgerald is no slouch of a coach, either. He's been in charge at Northwestern since 2006, which believe it or not, ties him with Wisconsin's Bret Bielema for the second-longest tenure in the Big Ten behind Iowa's Kirk Ferentz (1999).
No matter what happens against Northwestern, such as getting down 21-0 in 2010, history tells us the Lions will be able to bite back against the Wildcats when the game's on the line.
SUBHD: No. 2: Defend red zone
Northwestern will dink and dunk its way up and down the field with its efficient passing game (completing 68 percent) and strong rushing attack (averaging 256 yards). This is a big challenge for the PSU pass coverage, both the secondary and linebackers, and they'll have a tough time keeping Northwestern from piling up first downs.
The Wildcats, though, generally haven't had enough size or strength to finish the deal in the red zone against PSU, and that could be the case again today.
Northwestern's Mr. Everything, Kain Colter, can throw, run and catch, and the Lion defense has to be aware of him at all times. Trevor Siemian also runs the team well at quarterback but is nowhere near as good of a runner as Colter.
When the Wildcats have a chance to score, look for Penn State's strong front seven to tighten up and maybe even blitz more to disrupt the quick timing routes Northwestern utilizes so well.
The Wildcats have a good place-kicker in Jeff Budzien (11-for-11), but they won't beat Penn State with a bunch of field goals.
SUBHD: No. 3: Who's for real?
No one can say with any certainty that either PSU or Northwestern is a very good team. The Lions have beaten three bad opponents in a row, while not one of the five teams the Wildcats have beaten had itself knocked off a Division I-A opponent, until Syracuse beat Pitt on Friday.
But even though neither team has a quality win yet, they both enter today's game with a lot of confidence. It's telling that even though Northwestern is undefeated and ranked in the Top 25, the Wildcats are still 2 1/2-point underdogs.
SUBHD: No. 4: Be ready for anything
It's a little surprising Fitzgerald chose last week's game against Indiana to break out his Colter-is-everywhere game plan instead of saving it for a tougher opponent like Penn State. The Wildcats probably could have beaten Indiana anyway without tipping their hand.
Then again, last week's game showed PSU's defense that it must be ready for anything, and it will be interesting to see if Fitzgerald has some other tricks up his sleeve.
SUBHD: No. 5: Player to watch
Matt McGloin has had two very good games against Northwestern and could be in line for another facing a defense that gives up 289 yards passing per game.
McGloin has completed 35-of-55 passes (64 percent) for 417 yards and six TDs in his two games against the Wildcats, including the memorable four-TD performance that led PSU back from a 21-0 deficit in a 35-21 victory in 2010.
McGloin could be in the neighborhood of 22-of-34 for 275 yards and three TDs today. And the Lions might need all of it in what could be a shootout.
Prediction: Penn State 34, Northwestern 30

The Family Circle Cup and the Medical University of South Carolina Hollings Cancer Center have teamed up to support "Pink Out Komen Night for the Cure" on Thursday from 7-10 p.m. at the Family Circle Stadium on Daniel Island.
The event will benefit the Lowcountry Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The Family Circle Cup encourages fans who attend the evening session to wear pink and help "pink out" the stadium.
For each person who enters wearing pink, the Family Circle Cup and MUSC Hollings Cancer Center will donate $1 to the Komen Lowcountry Affiliate.
Several "pink out" themes will be performed on Thursday including: a pink carpet that will be rolled out in the player tunnel to introduce the players in style, the ball crew, umpires and court maintenance staff will be wearing pink Antigua shirts to show support.
A MUSC Hollings Cancer Center patient and a Komen Lowcountry Affiliate representative will present the coin toss.
In addition, Scales Pink Drink Champagne Cocktails will be offered and Scales Cocktails and the Family Circle Cup will each donate $1 from every drink sold to the affiliate.
"Family Circle Cup - and the entire Daniel Island community - have been such a huge part of what we are able to do as an affiliate," Taffy Tamblyn, executive director of the Affiliate, said in a news release.
"The upcoming Pink Out Night is an exciting start to what we hope is an ongoing event that only adds to the enjoyment of the tournament and to the lives impacted in the Lowcountry."
"We are excited to join forces with MUSC Hollings Cancer Center to raise money for the Komen Lowcountry Affiliate," Eleanor Adams, tournament manager for the Family Circle Cup, siad.
"Thursday night will be very special for the Family Circle Cup, and I hope everyone will join us in our first-ever stadium pink out."

Preliminary hearing set in 'Cathouse' killings
Denny Phillips, 34, set to appear
An alleged prison gang leader accused of killing a prostitute featured on HBO's "Cathouse" series and three other people is set to appear before an Oklahoma County judge for a preliminary hearing.
Investigators say 34-year-old Denny Phillips helped plan the 2009 deaths and told friends he was involved. Friday's hearing will determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence to try him for first-degree murder.
Killed were 22-year-old Brooke Phillips, who had worked as a prostitute at the legal brothel Moonlite Bunny Ranch near Carson City, Nev., that was featured on HBO. She wasn't related to Denny Phillips. The other victims were 22-year-old Milagros Barrera, 25-year-old Jennifer Ermey and 32-year-old Casey Mark Barrientos.
In May, 31-year-old David Tyner pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the case and drew a life sentence.

Golden Boy is taking over as the top boxing promoter
I'm not a Golden Boy groupie, just a boxing fan who can't help but notice that Top Rank is on the decline and Golden Boy is taking over. Not saying it's good or bad, just noticing it's happening.
GB has 11 champions right now against 3 for TR
GB controls the JMW, JWW & BW divisions, TR doesn't control any division
GB has 3 cash cows (Floyd, Canelo, Khan) against 2 for TR (Pacquiao, Chavez Jr)
I would say that GB has 3 guys that could become cash cows in the near future (Broner, Garcia, Guerrero) against 2 for TR (Bradley, Rios) but that's subjective.
GB has the most promising prospect in boxing : Gary Russell Jr
TR has no recognizable heavyweight, GB has Mitchell and Wilder and I think they have some sort of promotional deal with Haye.
All in all, I think it's the beginning of the end for TR. Not sure what it means for the sport of boxing as a whole.
Your thoughts?

Golden Boy has the big names indeed. I like how they operate for the most part, they aren't as bad as other companies. I mean look at how fast they are bringing Angulo back into the mix. That's really good stuff.
My only issue is with their corruption surrounding drug tests right now. I don't like that one bit.

Top Rank will be back as soon as LeBouf takes over.
Hell they might even with Arum still around as they have signed quite a bit of young fighters from the amateur ranks and are still hands down the best at developing talent.
Fwiw GBP will always have the most talent, but TR makes the most of out what they do have.
The only knock on TR is Bob's unwillingness to do fights with GBP.

One thing I will say is GBP isn't great at creating buzz for their fighters. Floyd is pretty much a self made man but you have to think that if Canelo was with Top Rank....they would have him looking like an absolute killer right now.
When you think about how they develop guys and the buzz they create....they will always be a player in boxing.
Cotto's buzz up until 2008
Pacquiao's run as the mexicutioner, then his post Oscar buzz
DLH in his prime
Margarito's post Cotto buzz
I mean they know how to match guys to make their fighters look like Killers/beast. People get mad and criticize them, but that's the whole point of being a promoter.....to make your fighter look like a machine.
Until GBP can do that....they won't pull away from the crowd. they have the talent, but look at what happens to their fighters. I mean as soon as they look good, they go out and get destroyed.
Ortiz, Kirkland, Maidana, Khan.....and the list goes on. For some reason they have the worst match making skills in boxing.

Since when is Khan a cashcow?
Also, Top Rank has Juan Manuel Marquez as a cashcow. And what do you mean by champions? Title holders? If so, that seems low for both companies.

I don't think GBP's matchmaking skills are bad, again look at what they're doing with Canelo. TR let the Gamboa/Lopez fight marinate too long and Lopez got knocked out twice, that's not good matchmaking. Jose Benavidez got a near death experience in his last fight, one more shot and he would be TR's version of Linares.
TR will always be a player but the question is, will they be the TOP player? I don't think so.
Marquez is not with Top Rank, he's with Zanfer promotions, they just make a deal with TR whenever he fights Pacquiao.
From a commercial standpoint there's no difference between a legit champ and a strap holder. So 11 to 3 is pretty significant.

Top Rank has built fighters from the beginning to major PPV stars
GBP doesn't even have 1
Top Rank and GBP are about even right now in terms of ppv numbers (Pac-Bradley + Martinez-JCC Jr vs Floyd-Cotto) with Pac - Marquez 4 on the way. That fight will do at least 1 mill and when was the last time GBP sold more PPV's in a year than Top Rank?
I don't see GBP selling more than Top Rank any time soon
In terms of future stars its whoever can promote who better
And belts don't mean much when all the fights are in house

VIENNA, 20 November 2012 – The industrial development challenges currently facing the BRICS countries (Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa) were the focus of a roundtable meeting organized during the 40th session of the UNIDO Industrial Development Board.
Senior Government representatives from the BRICS countries emphasized that the manufacturing sector was the driving force for economic development, technological progress, job creation and poverty alleviation. However, they noted that each country had different experiences in promoting the development of the manufacturing sector and increasing its share in the GDP structure.
In this context, participants agreed that structural economic transformation to enhance the role played by the manufacturing sector has been one of the most important elements of the BRICS countries' development strategies, particularly in Brazil, China and India, over recent decades.
There was agreement too that industrial policy focusing on job creation, innovation, foreign direct investment and competitiveness has been crucial for forging economic growth, reducing poverty and offsetting the development disparities between regions within a country.
Developing countries could benefit tremendously from an understanding of the different experiences of the BRICS countries in promoting their industrial policies, said participants.
The roundtable discussion was a contribution to the creation of a global platform for sharing knowledge of, and learning from, the BRICS countries' varied experiences of development patterns.
A new UNIDO publication, Structural change, poverty, reduction and industrial policy in the BRICS, was launched at the event. The report analyses the industrial development trajectory of the BRICS, provides a review of structural change and diversification, and analyzes the impact their various experiences can have on other developing countries.
The report states that, within just 20 years, the BRICS economies have come to account for a substantial part of global GDP, world manufacturing value added and global manufacturing exports. The average growth rate of the BRICS between 2001 and 2010 was twice as high as the OECD countries' average, and while exports have certainly played a key role - especially for China - the BRICS countries' growth rate is now increasingly driven by domestic consumption, investment and productivity growth. Sustained economic growth, an increasing significance as global markets and production hubs, and successful poverty reduction efforts, make the BRICS a reference point for developing countries seeking to emulate these accomplishments.
UNIDO representatives voiced their readiness to further cooperate closely with BRICS and their interest in contributing to the March 2013 BRICS summit in Durban, South Africa.

Takes elements from three of LEGO's favourite toy themes, LEGO Space, Pirates and Castle and combine them into one blockbuster. Almost everything is customizable and with ninety different levels the game provides endless entertainment.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo DS
LEGO Battles (Nintendo DS) Review: Strategic Block Busting in Real Time
Lego sets – the authentic ones (not the ones you've seen on the Harry Potter movie) – are all about epic battles. Just about everyone who has an ax to grind with something or someone – space men, knights, pirates, ninja, treasure hunters – has had a LEGO set at one point or another. Here's the good news for the avid fans: besides your imagination, you can now have (and hopefully, win) all those battles on the Nintendo DS. Although it has an undertone of "my-first-real-time-strategy" to it, the game is truly appealing and relatively impressive from a technical view point.
LEGO fans who've been in the know for a long time can easily distinguish some of the classic sets, such as the Space, Castle and Pirates pieces from a couple decades or so ago. LEGO Battles now makes it possible for the player to be in control of these various mini figures in a game that has a story mode of over 70 levels. The video cutscenes thankfully retain the humor charm and style that LEGO has been famous for.
Unfortunately, RTS fans who are expecting more challenging strategies aren't so lucky, as LEGO Battles are really a piece of cake. The sad thing about LEGO franchise is it seems to just cater to kids, not realizing that everybody just loves LEGO! Still, LEGO Battles isn't such a bad choice for neophytes in real time strategy. Although the six story modes are inclined to get repetitive, they are quite lengthy and maneuver the players smoothly into various units and buildings, showing each function as you go along. These are nice and helpful if you've never had any experience with an RTS in the past.
On the technical side, the touch screen controls seem to work well. At some point though, picking a single unit gets to be a little tricky, especially when a number of people and buildings appear on screen. The AI gets pretty irksome as they often get stuck somewhere when you send troops out over an extensive distance. You think you have better things to do winning a battle than babysit an AI that can't figure out how to find its way! The workers are equally annoying as they simply just cease working and have to be prodded to continue gathering lumber.
The story modes reflect varied areas of expertise of different armies; and this is where the most fun part is; when you can actually mix and match diverse armies in the free play or multiplayer. Players get to choose their own heroes, vehicles, infantry and other paraphernalia from any of the unlocked sets, with available options that range from 5 to 25 selections.
The multiplayer is actually the highlight and best part of any RTS, and LEGO Battles, for all its shortcomings, has at least done an extremely good job at this, making the game as challenging as you opponent's skills makes it. Be warned though, there are some snags in the caps on troop numbers and the maps aren't that big. But all in all the mode works great, with just a very minimal slowdown and looks pretty impressive with two dozen characters fighting each other on screen, all at one time.
If the well known LEGO charm and humor are enough reasons for you to play the game, then you won't be disappointed as there's plenty of that in LEGO Battles. However, if you're looking for more challenges, then this game probably would just bore you. It's just too much of a "cakewalk", which is such a shame as the multiplayer really is pure, solid fun and has lots of potentials. It could have been an excellent game to recommend to everyone. As it is… it's really your take!
