Chili Corn Bread Salad Recipe
A co-worker brought this wonderful dish to a potluck several years ago. She had copies of the recipe next to the pan. Now I make it for get-togethers and also supply copies of the recipe. I never have any leftover salad or recipes.
-Kelly Newsom, Jenks, Oklahoma
- 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, undrained
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch rubbed sage
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cans (15-1/4 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained
- 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- Prepare corn bread batter according to package directions. Stir in chilies, cumin, oregano and sage. Spread in a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream and dressing mix; set aside. Crumble half of the corn bread into a 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Layer with half of the beans, mayonnaise mixture, corn, tomatoes, green pepper, onions, bacon and cheese. Repeat layers (dish will be very full). Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Yield: 12 servings.

I've been making this for years, and it's always a hit. It's week worth the time it takes to make it.
Reviewed May. 28, 2013
I have made this many times over the years. It is a huge hit at pot lucks and with my family. The only reason why I don't make it more often is because of the time involved for the prep work.

I always get rave reviews from my company on this wonderful, hearty salad! And it actually lasts for days in the refrigerator.

32 people recommend parking here 25 left comments
Mike and his family were very accommodating. Lots of space and friendly environment. Mike has every angle covered, we'll. DEFINATLEY be back! Thanks Mike
The parking lot was great. It was close to the stadium and as I am handicapped it was very good. I would stay at this lot again. Thank you Michael
Good efficient service.
It was well organize! I would def come back!
The parking location was great. Very close to the stadium. The challenge is getting to the parking lot due to all the one ways set up prior to game time. Took an hour to navigate to the parking area so give yourself A LOT of time to get there. Parking very convenient and I felt my car was safe and would not be blocked in. I would definitely use Mike's lot again.
Mike is very professional and welcoming. And the lot is really easy to find. The Ray Jay stadium is less than 4 min walk away.... There is a really good vibe with all the tailgate parties around the neighbour hood. Thanks Mike. Lars
This is not your typical hot tar or asphalt parking lot, it's a Nice Grassy, Shaded, Private Lot which customers enjoy coming to for those reasons. It's approximately a three minute walk to Raymond James Stadium! This location is a resident lot and can be identified by a blue house to help direct you to the correct location.
This location is a residence.
Preferred parking for Raymond James Stadium.
This parking location can be found on Glen Ave, between Himes and Lincoln Ave. The entrance to this residence lot will be on the west side of Glen Ave.

I just wanted to echo what many other folks on here have said about the general sense of disappointment with the game. I've been playing Civ for a long time (since the original). I love PC strategy games, especially ones with some depth and complexity to them - which had been a characteristic of Civ up until now . . . Let me lay out my likes/dislikes more specifically:
1) Hexgrids - they make movement and tactics much more interesting and they make the map look more realistic
2) Combat - eliminating unit stacking and adding in ranged units and terrain modifiers for range really added depth (and fun) to the game
3) Graphics - especially the unit and combat animations are very well done
1) City States - just my personal opinion but I'm not a fan. Your interactions with them are too limited. You can't even make direct diplomatic deals like alliance except for bribing/completing a quest and waiting for your favor to decay over time
2) Social Policies - these were almost a "good" thing. I do like the variety of options available to customize the bonuses for your civ. But the system is too detached from the rest of the gameplay. At least with gov't types or religion (that got replaced by social policies) it made a huge impact on the diplomatic interactions - other civs would like/dislike you based on your choices and you could try and influence other civs through military or peaceful means. Social policies just seem . . . simpler (kind of a general theme with Civ5)
1) Releasing an unfinished product - I'll forgive many of the annoying bugs. I play alot of PC games - I'm used to this by now. But I'm not willing to forgive an unbalanced AI that makes it nearly impossible to win by pursuing a nonmilitary strategy. Every game I've played has featured one militaristic civ that serially invades all its neigbors leaving the conquered cities as puppets (with apparently few penalties for overexpansion) and can't be prevented from invading you except through a massive military buildup of my own. And all this after hearing about how "advanced" the AI was going to be from the game developers. Poor form.
2) Border growth - the system is too simple, cut and dry, all or nothing. So once I purchase a tile right on the border of another civ, I just own it for good (short of conquering the city or using a great artist)?. There's no impact of the cities relative culture? And once you do conquer a city you just automatically inherit every attached tile? Even if there's tiles of the former owner immediately adjacent? No mechanism for accounting for the fact that the Japanese are now controlling a German city? (except for a few turns of unrest) And if the Germans were to reconquer it they get treated just like any other conqueror? Way too simplistic - far inferior to the culture and nationality system from Civ4
3) General lack of detail - I've read plenty of interviews and developers journals and I know the justifications for removing the religion system AND streamlining the tech tree AND taking out government types. But the replacement systems don't come CLOSE to replacing the choices and depth. Even the civilopedia doesn't list the actual stats and bonuses for most of the units/buildings - it just describes the effects in general terms.
Final thoughts:
Taking all the different game design elements and changes together, it's readily apparent that the developers were trying to make the game more accessible to gamers unfamiliar with the franchise. It looks more like a console game (similar to Civ: Revolutions). It minimizes or hides many of the details involved in administering your civ by using a slick interface. But in making the game simpler they took out most of what makes me a fan of the Civ series. This game just isn't as fun. And, to be honest, I feel kinda betrayed. The developers made a concious choice and chose to prioritize newcomers to the franchise, console gamers, and people with ADD that can't handle complexity over franchise veterans like myself. There are many people like me that have probably logged hundreds, if not thousands, of very satisfied hours playing Civ games over the years - Civ5 is not worthy of the series.

Man Impregnated By Arcade Fire Balls At Coachella
Arcade Fire's balls are so powerful that they light up like a star in the night. The Flaming Lips have to compensate for the lack of fire in their balls by bringing out the panda suits. They're going to be crushed when they find out Arcade Fire balls are fertile enough to impregnate men.
I was taking a walk in Battery Park during lunch last year when I came across a guy in a dirty panda suit. He was sitting down on a bench to eat his lunch. His shoulders were hunched and his head hung low as if he was thinking of all the bad decisions he made that lead to his current position in life. While this was going on, a kid ran up all excited to see a panda. The guy took off his panda head so he could eat and the kid started screaming. I laughed my ass off. I'm not sure what that story has to do with anything but the panda reference made me think of it.

dotTech Exclusive: 15 free licenses of Auslogics Registry Defrag!
February 26, 2010 72 Email article | Print articleAuslogics is a popular name for their freeware Disk Defrag program. In addition to Disk Defrag, Auslogics also has a long offering of other software that can perform a variety of tasks for you with the same quality that we have come to know and love in Disk Defrag. Auslogics Registry Defrag is one such software.
Auslogics Registry Defrag, as the name implies, does to the registry what Disk Defrag does to your hard drive: defragmentation. Of course, to be completely fair, a Registry Defrag is not going have as big of an impact on your computer performance as Disk Defrag. Why? Because, lets be honest, a registry is not as large as a whole hard drive, so defragmentation is not as big of a deal. Nonetheless, though, if you use the right tool, defragging your registry can never hurt you.
These are all the benefits of Auslogics Registry Defrag as per the developer:
- Eliminates structural defects in the Registry
- Reduces the Registry size and the amount of RAM the registry takes up
- Improves applications response time
- Makes Windows running more stable
- Improves overall computer performance
What is not mentioned in the list is something I can attest to with first hand experience: Auslogics Registry Defrag is, literally, point and click – extremely easy to use.
That all being said, 15 lucky dotTechies will have the chance to own a copy of Auslogics Registry Defrag for free! All winners will receive free updates. Here are the rules for this promotion:
Version being given out for free: 18.104.22.1685
Free updates: Yes
Supported OS: Windows XP/2003/2008/Vista/Win7
Download size: 2.27 MB
- If you want a chance to win Auslogics Registry Defrag, you must post a comment below answering all of these questions:
- Have you ever defragged your registry in the past? If so, with what software?
- What is your favorite aspect of Auslogics Registry Defrag?
- Is there anything Auslogics can improve in Registry Defrag (bug fixes, more features, portability, etc.)? If so, please specify.
- If you were in the market to purchase a registry defragger, would you be willing to pay $19.95 for Auslogics Registry Defrag? If not, then please name the price that you prefer.
Anyone that does not answer all four of these questions will be disqualified.
- 5 licenses are reserved for dotTech donors, authors, and artists. If you fall in this 5 license reserve category, please specifically state so in your comment (i.e. say "I am a donor" if you are a donor, etc.), otherwise I may not know. Also if you are a donor, please be sure to use the e-mail you donated with in your comment (do not post your e-mail in public, just use the e-mail in the "e-mail" form when posting a comment) so I can confirm.
- The other 10 licenses can be won by anyone.
- I reserve the right to award specific people licenses if I feel they have helped foster the dotTech family by being very active (the people who fall into this category is at my sole discretion).
- You may only enter the drawing once. If you try to enter more than once, you will be disqualified.
When posting a comment, please make sure you enter an e-mail that is 100% valid and an e-mail you will check because the licenses will be distributed via e-mail by me. If you win and don't have a valid e-mail or an e-mail you don't check, your license will go to waste. However, please don't post your e-mail in your comment! You should never post your e-mail on a public form. Just enter the e-mail you want to be contacted at in the "E-mail" field when writing your comment – I will be able to get your e-mail from there. Or if you are a registered dotTechie, just post a comment normally and I will be able to find your e-mail.
The winners of this giveaway will be announced after the giveaway has ended in 48 hours, or on Sunday Feb 28, 2010.
Good luck to everyone!
Anyone that misses out on a free license of Auslogics Registry Defrag can always purchase Auslogics Registry Defrag from the homepage for $19.95 (USD). Or, better yet, if you want more "bang for the buck" consider Auslogics BoostSpeed, which includes Registry Defrag, for $29.95.

4. I would pay the asking price if I knew it would increase program response time.581. WinUtilities Pro 9
2. I will love to use it, I have never try it.
3. I have never try it.
4. If it will be good, then I will.Thanks
591. No
2. and 3. i haven't used Registry Defrag but I used some other GREAT Auslogics programs.
4. Yes, I think I would buy it.60Ashraf, I hope it's not too late, bt please enter me for the Auslogics drawing. I am a donor. Thanks.
611. Have you ever defragged your registry in the past? If so, with what software?
I do from time to time, using WinRescue2. What is your favorite aspect of Auslogics Registry Defrag?
Improvement of Windows performance.3. Is there anything Auslogics can improve in Registry Defrag (bug fixes, more features, portability, etc.)? If so, please specify.
I would not pretend to know enough about this software without having used it. I presume that every program ever invented can be improved, however.4. If you were in the market to purchase a registry defragger, would you be willing to pay $19.95 for Auslogics Registry Defrag? If not, then please name the price that you prefer.
I prefer free software; unless and until I have tried Auslogics Registry Defrag and become convinced that it is the cat's pajamas, I am not willing to pay for it.
These are my honest answers, even if they are not politically correct. I do want to win a free copy.
621.) Glary Utilities
2.) Registry defrag will improve performance of the computer, speed up boot time a little.
3.) I´ve never tried it.
4.) I prefer freeware. But if i really would be in the need of a professional registry cleaner i think i would pay the $19.95.63Hi again Ashraf, so sorry for not reading your requirements above for qualifying to enter this drawing..here is my second/corrected submission, with my answers to your Questions:
1. Yes, I've defragged my PC before using Advanced System Care Pro.
2. My favorite aspect/feature about Auslogics Registry Defrag is its efficiency, accuracy, and relatively light use of system resources, compared with other similar programs.
3. Suggestion for improvement – make the program totally portable, so it can be run from a USB thumb/flash drive for ease and convenience.
4. If I were in the market to buy such a program, I would not pay $19.95 for it. I'd be willing to pay only $10.00 for it.
Lastly (again, for your benefit) I'm a donor.
Inas64Hi, Here are my answers:
Have you ever defragged your registry in the past? If so, with what software?
I used a free trial of auslogics registry defrag, that came with the fantastic boost speed suite, and a program called free registry defrag.What is your favorite aspect of Auslogics Registry Defrag?
It's speed, simple to use, and works very well with screen readers (i'm a blind user)Is there anything Auslogics can improve in Registry Defrag (bug fixes, more features, portability, etc.)? If so, please specify.
An automatic monitor and defrag feature would be nice… or does it have that already?If you were in the market to purchase a registry defragger, would you be willing to pay $19.95 for Auslogics Registry Defrag? If not, then please name the price that you prefer.
Yes, this is such a good program that's a really cheap price for it!Ash
67@Ashraf: I was wondering when you intend to announce the names of the winners.
68Hi Ashraf, I have also neen wondering when you are going to announce the results of this competition. I have been eagerly checking everyday to see if I have won! Auslogics products rock and I would love to win a copy of their registry defragmentation software. I use their screensaver defragmentation tool. It is incredible – a must for home users (http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag-screen-saver/)!
My English is bad. I want to participate and if I win I'd be very happy.
With my best regardsJules
7001 – Have not usee any tool to defragment registry.
02- Cannot answer as I have not tried it at all.
03- Cannot suggest as I have not worked with the programme to gain experience and assess its
ease of functionality.04- Price is not a question in case of useful programmes. I can pay a little more than what has been
mentioned above, say 25 US dollars for the programme.71

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to methods and models for categorical data analysis and their applications in social science research. An explicit aim of the book is to integrate the transformational and the latent variable approach, two diverse but complementary traditions dealing with the analysis of categorical data. This is the first introductory text to cover models and methods for discrete dependent variables, cross-classifications, and longitudinal data in a rigorous, yet accessible, manner in a single volume.The second edition of this book includes new material on multilevel models for categorical data. Several chapters have undergone extensive revisions and extensions to include new applications and examples. Highlights of the 2nd edition include a detailed discussion of classical and Bayesian estimation techniques for hierarchical/multilevel models, extensive coverage of discrete-time hazard models and Cox regression models, and methods for evaluating and accommodating departures from model assumptions.The accompanying website contains programming scripts to replicate each example using various statistical packages, which has proven to be an invaluable resource for instructors, students, and researchers.This book presents the essential methods and models that form the core of contemporary social statistics. The book covers a remarkable range of models that have applications in sociology, demography, psychometrics, econometrics, political science, biostatistics, and other fields. It will be especially useful as a graduate textbook for students in advanced social statistics courses and as a reference book for applied researchers. Companion website also available, at https://webspace.utexas.edu/dpowers/www/
.,." the first introductory text to cover, in a single volume, models and methods for discrete dependent variables, cross-classifications, and longitudinal data. A great strength of the text is the authors' informal yet sophisticated approach, which combines the discussion of general principles with illuminating and realistic empirical examples." -Roberto Mare, University of California, Los Angeles, USA "Teaching this book will be almost too easy. The prose is clear, the examples are well chosen, and the Web site provides practical details." -Michael Hout, University of California, Berkeley, USA An excellent job done by the authors. As with the first edition, Powers and Xie make the analysis of categorical data easy to understand. There are 7 chapters that are clearly written, begining with a review of simple linear regression, then going to loglinear models for contingency tables, models for ordinal and nominal dependent variables and models for event ocurrence (models for rates). The technical level is high enough to understand the theory behind the analysis and the interpretation of results. The inclusion of a new chapeter (ch.5) on multilevel models is very clearly written, and includes a short introduction to modern Bayesian modelling. Although there is not enough space for a complete introduction into this topic (which requires a high level of mathematical statistics) the authors refer to other books (like the one by Scott Lynch) for more detailed explanations (needed for a better understanding) of bayesian modelling in general. This book is a great addition to the library of students and scientists in areas like biology and sociology who want an explained compendium of (modern) techniques for analysing categorical data.

There are three sequence types: strings, lists and tuples.
Strings literals are written in single or double quotes: 'xyzzy', "frobozz". See Chapter 2 of the Python Reference Manual for more about string literals. Lists are constructed with square brackets, separating items with commas: [a, b, c]. Tuples are constructed by the comma operator (not within square brackets), with or without enclosing parentheses, but an empty tuple must have the enclosing parentheses, e.g., a, b, c or (). A single item tuple must have a trailing comma, e.g., (d,).
Sequence types support the following operations. The "in" and "not in" operations have the same priorities as the comparison operations. The "+" and "*" operations have the same priority as the corresponding numeric operations.2.3
This table lists the sequence operations sorted in ascending priority (operations in the same box have the same priority). In the table, s and t are sequences of the same type; n, i and j are integers:
Operation | Result | Notes |
x in s |
1 if an item of s is equal to x, else 0 | |
x not in s |
0 if an item of s is equal to x, else 1 | |

By Ali Rockett Staff writer
LAURINBURG - A nonprofit organization accused in a recent audit of mismanaging state and federal money also has been told to repay the state nearly $300,000 for inappropriate bonuses and retirement benefits given to employees from 2008 to 2011.
The inappropriate payments that Four-County Community Services is accused of giving employees are unrelated to the audit, which led the Four-County's board Tuesday night to fire Richard Greene, the agency's executive director for 25 years.
A letter dated July 13, 2012, from the state Department of Health and Human Services said the agency has 10 business days to repay $292,807, most of which was given to the employees in the form of bonuses and retirement benefits.
Gene Davis, one of three Raleigh lawyers representing Four-County, said the agency appealed the ruling and has agreed to pay a lower amount. Money has yet to be repaid, and Davis would not disclose how much the agency now owes.
The letter follows a string of correspondence between Greene and the department dating back to an on-site fiscal review in October 2010 by DHHS's Office of Economic Opportunity.
The review revealed that Four-County, which provides aid to the poor in seven southeastern counties, used unspent Community Services Block Grant program money to pay its employees bonuses or incentives totaling $253,117. It also found $52,684 in unallowable retirement expenses.
Greene called it a "best practice" for the agency to reward employees when it couldn't afford to give across-the-board raises.
Agency financial officers calculate any savings within each program near the end of the fiscal year, Greene said, and then disburse that amount among employees.
He said the Office of Economic Opportunity "didn't like" the arrangement because it was not included in the agency's annual budget.
"If you operate efficiently, you can have savings," Greene said Wednesday.
The agency receives $21 million annually through state and federal grants to operate 16 Head Start preschools and administer other programs for the poor, including weatherization assistance, appliance repair or replacement and housing assistance. It serves Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Hoke, Pender, Robeson and Scotland counties.
Greene said the agency cannot use grant funds to pay back the state. It must come from unrestricted funds, he said, which include outside contributions to the agency.
Greene said Davis and the agency's other lawyers were negotiating the terms of the repayment when he was fired. Greene said he believes his dismissal was part of the settlement with the Department of Health and Human Services that led to the lower amount of repayment.
"That's something we've been dealing with for more than a year," Greene said. "We were supposed to reach settlement three weeks ago. The entire holdup is for my removal."
Davis said he could not remember the exact date the settlement was reached, but he said it was recent.
He said Four-County is waiting for the department to set a due date for repayment, then it will be paid.
Last week, The Fayetteville Observer published a story saying that an internal DHHS audit, dated Jan. 25, found Green and other employees had misspent nearly $75,000 during fiscal 2012 and several more thousands of dollars that appear to have been misspent since fiscal 2009. Fifteen of 18 allegations were substantiated in the audit, including that Greene used a state-owned vehicle, two cellphones and Internet service for his personal use.
It also was revealed last week that the agency and two employees, Eric Pender and John Wesley, are defendants in a civil lawsuit. Eight women who filed the lawsuit allege that Pender and Wesley threatened to withhold their federal housing assistance unless they gave them sexual favors.

The list of important little things was being checked off by UNO coach Dean Blais.
Faceoffs. Coverage. Back-checking. Communication.
"Right now, little things are so doggone important," he said. "All the things you've worked on all year long make a huge difference.
"It's like a playoff weekend all over (the WCHA). This is just a rehearsal for what's going to happen two weeks from now."
Nos. 13 and 15 UNO plays host to No. 16 Wisconsin this weekend, with games at 6:37 p.m. Friday and 7:07 p.m. Saturday at the CenturyLink Center.
Both teams are jostling for playoff position and a shot at home ice for the first round of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs, March 15 through 17.
UNO (18-12-2 overall, 14-8-2 and tied for third in the WCHA with 30 points) still has a chance at winning the MacNaughton Cup as the regular-season champion, but might have to win out to do so. The Mavs, 22nd in the PairWise rankings that simulate the formula used to determine the 16-team NCAA tournament field, play next weekend at Minnesota-Duluth.
Wisconsin (14-11-7, 10-7-7 and tied for sixth with 27 points) is in position to claim home ice as one of the top six finishers, but might need to win out to rekindle its NCAA tournament at-large berth potential after a devastating overtime loss to upstart Penn State on Monday night. The Badgers, tied for 25th in PairWise, finish the regular season with a series against first-place St. Cloud State.
"We're going to be ready to play, and they'll be ready to play," UNO defenseman Bryce Aneloski said. "There are only four games left in their season as well, so I think everybody is going to be ready to go. It's just an exciting time right now."
While taking care of the little things is a high priority for UNO, so too are a couple of major items.
Like goaltending. And the power play.
The Mavs pulled goalie Ryan Massa out of a redshirt season last weekend for their exhibition game against Team USA, a clear sign that they intend to have the sophomore from Littleton, Colo., play a major role for the final month of the season — though Blais says the choice in net is still a game-by-game proposition.
Senior John Faulkner has spent the majority of the minutes in goal. Sophomore Dayn Belfour made his season debut Feb. 8 and has appeared in all four games since, starting three.
"We're going to look for consistency and for who is doing the job," Blais said. "All of a sudden we've got three goaltenders who we feel can play, and play well.
"You've got to make sure you're — not lucky — but that you're picking the right goaltender on that particular evening."
Meanwhile, UNO has converted on just two of its last 19 power-play opportunities, and both of those came in desperation situations — when Blais pulled his goalie to create a 6-on-4 advantage late in the third period against North Dakota on Feb. 9 and Alaska-Anchorage on Feb. 16.
"We've got to get better on our power play," Blais said. "It's a concern right now. We're working on it every day and hopefully it'll pay dividends as we go through the playoffs.
"If you don't have a power play in the playoffs, you're not going to advance anywhere."
UNO's power play has been successful 18.8 percent of the time for the season, and has been less effective in league games at 16.2 percent. Only Wisconsin, which is a national-worst 10.9 percent on the power play, has struggled more in the WCHA (9.2 percent).
UNO, though, gave up four power-play goals to a struggling Alaska-Anchorage unit in its wild 6-5 overtime win in its last game on Feb. 16, and doesn't want to see another team get healthy against its penalty killers.
At even strength, UNO and Wisconsin offer contrasting styles.
The Mavs lead the WCHA in league games with an average of 3.46 goals per game, and their overall average of 3.5 ranks second in the country. Wisconsin is tied for the league lead in allowing only 2.2 per game against WCHA foes and ranks fifth in the country overall with 2.03 goals allowed.
"They work hard and play good defense — a lot of their opportunities come from good defense," UNO captain Brent Gwidt said.
Both teams have had their moments, too. UNO was 7-0 in November. Wisconsin went 8-0-3 from late November through mid-January.
The Mavs' high-octane offense is paced by Hobey Baker Award candidate Ryan Walters, second in the country with 45 points (19 goals, 26 assists). He gets plenty of help from Matt White (15-16-31), Josh Archibald (17-14-31), Dominic Zombo (10-17-27) and Johnnie Searfoss (10 goals).
They're expected to be rejoined this weekend by center Brock Montpetit, out since mid-December with an ankle injury.
"We've got to get back to how we were in November, when our offense was almost a little bit overwhelming, and people around the country were taking notice," Gwidt said. "If we continue to work hard and use our speed — we've got a full lineup now — we should be able to get that back."
Wisconsin gets the bulk of its points from Michael Mersch (17-9-26, including six of the Badgers' 11 power-play goals), but Mark Zengerle is a creative center and forward Nic Kerdiles is one of the league's top freshmen.
The Badgers' brightest stars have been goalies Joel Rumpel (8-7-4, 1.82 goals against average, .934 save percentage) and Landon Peterson (6-4-3, 2.01, .926). Rumpel ranks in the top 10 nationally in GAA and save percentage.
"They were the hottest team in the country at one point this season, just like we were (in November)," Blais said.
Now both teams are trying to heat up again this weekend.

text: What a day of games and a bit of off-the-field news as well. The biggest upset was Coastal Carolina going to Missoula and beating Montana. Southeasten Louisiana won their first playoff game over two time finalist Sam Houston State. Jacksonville State upset McNeese State. New Hampshire (sort of) upset Maine (although they also beat the Black Bears in the regular season). But #1 seed North Dakota State, #2 seed Eastern Illinois, and #3 seed Eastern Washington all won rather easily in the end. The bigger news tonight is the fate of NDSU Coach Craig Bohl. Several reports are out that he will be at the University of Wyoming tomorrow to take that school's head coaching opening. Timing on that move is tough when we are in the middle of the playoffs. More to come on that developing story tomorrow. The results today, have the following quarterfinal games and dates/times have been announced from the NCAA: Friday: #7 Towson @ #2 Eastern Illinois 8:00pm Eastern Saturday: Coastal Carolina @ #1 North Dakota State 12:00pm Eastern Jacksonville State @ #3 Eastern Washington 4:00pm Eastern New Hampshire @ #4 Southeastern Louisiana 7:00pm Eastern

Hi, I wonder where is the magazine, the healthy birth practices n all the info u had in spanish :(
Thank you for asking about the Spanish magazine articles on the old Lamaze website. All of the former magazine articles are now being hosted on the parents website – www.lamaze.org - so the content is still online (currently only in English). We plan to add the Spanish articles as phase two of our new parent website, so look for those to come in the next few months. They will be grouped by the current topic sections – Healthy Pregnancy, Planning for Labor, Birth Day and New Parents. You can also find the Spanish translations of the Six Healthy Birth Practices on Lamaze International site for professionals – www.lamazeinternational.org
We're so glad to hear that you find the Lamaze resources valuable.

I really like the texture! I prefer shirts with larger prints, though. -

Tee Hee Hoo Haa. I see an anchor in there, bet I'm the first one who noticed, I just have an eye for these hidden things, just weird there are all kinds of awkward lines around the anchor. Probably is meant to resemble the straight shooter of Pirate Ships Caribbean, Somali run vacation lines. Of course if I were being serious tonight, I would have no comment. -

Sorry I'm not gunna grab one, really not my thing, but I wanted to compliment you on your amazing linework. You have a great style that is very much your own, and I would love to see you on teefury again!
Toonstar said 230 weeks ago
too often, recently, the side art has been more appealing than the chosen shirt print. -

xylotism said 230 weeks ago
If this looks as good on a computer as it does on my phone, I'll be wearing it by next week.
But Teebird, is it just me or are you really digging the pirate thing lately?
Also, I want to point out that I recognize a.mar.illo's name from a recent tee on teefurycopy, and I recognize that belt from District Cotton. Someone's been a busy Barcelonian bee. Way to go, man! -
Yathwart said 230 weeks ago
Can't buy this one, but I will say it's rather enticing. Also, kudos to you for that piece on the right, 3rd down. Really dig it. -
D-Mo said 230 weeks ago
Not gonna buy on this one, but I really like the imagery on here; it's almost like something you would find on an eighteenth century woodcut. I think the color selection for this on is a bullseye, too...fine work on this one, IMHO. -

This is beautiful!! I just finished sewing some pillows tonight for a lady at church! :)
Ok, now that you signed up at Inbox Dollars, you should look around the offers area and see if you see anything from Vistaprint. You can also wait until they send you an email (which everytime you read the emails you earn about 2 cents just for clicking that you read it). Then you click through to Vistaprint through Inbox Dollars, place your order, and it should say how much it will credit you. The current offer that was in my account was for $5 on any order. So when my order came out to be $5.67, I really only paid the 67 cents since they credited me the $5. Hope this helps! - October 21, 2010 at 6:33 PM

Glad you signed up! I love it. Once you hit $30 I think they pay you. I am at $17. You should have gotten the $5 credit just for signing up, but another $5 if you find the Vistaprint offer. They come out often though, so if its not there now, I bet it will come around again soon. :)

This is really adorable and a great use for an old sweater. That particular sweater is really nice for this purpose. I would consider making one for myself, but it might require an extra long sleeve. Did you use an adult sweater for this?
- March 17, 2011 at 2:17 PM
I am one of your newest followers. I love this idea. Since this is a sweater that's no longer worn and maybe going to donations, maybe you could not cut off as much sleeve and leave some for a facing. Stitch that edging back to form the facing around the armhole, and you have a sweater vest, and with the headband, it's ready for gift giving.

This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.
A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from on or within the body so that the cells within the tissue can be examined a microscope. Looking for abnormalities or changes in cells can be extremely useful for detecting diseases, particularly cancer.
A bone marrow biopsy analyses cells from within bone to check for blood disorders and other potentially serious health conditions. The results can show if you have a lower than normal number of red blood cells (in which case you might have anaemia), a low white blood cell count (which may mean you are prone to infection) or if you have a low number of platelets (which may prevent your blood from clotting properly).
If any of the blood cells or other components are present in unusually larger quantities in a bone marrow biopsy, this usually indicates a cancer, such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma.
Bone marrow is a jelly-like substance found in the middle of the larger bones. Stem cells within the bone marrow divide and specialise to become red cells, white cells and platelets. Red cells are essential for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the entire body, white cells make up the body's immune system and platelets are important in the blood clotting process.
A bone marrow biopsy can be done in two ways:
Both tests can be done independently, or they may be performed at the same time.
A bone marrow biopsy takes just a few minutes and is usually performed as an outpatient procedure or as a day case if sedation is needed. The bone marrow biopsy sample is taken from the hip bone, though a bone marrow aspiration can also be taken from your breast bone.
Bleeding is one of the biggest dangers of a bone marrow biopsy, and so you will be asked to stop or reduce the dose of any anticoagulant medication you take, such as aspirin or warfarin, for a week or so before the procedure. You will usually have a blood test before your bone marrow biopsy to make sure that you do not have any significant problems with blood clotting.
The bone marrow biopsy is done under local anaesthetic, and you may also be given a sedative to help you relax. Despite the anaesthetic, you may still experience a sharp pain for a short time as liquid marrow is extracted, or a dull ache as a solid core is cut.
Although the bone marrow biopsy is over very quickly you will need to remain lying down for a short time afterwards so that the clinical staff can check the extraction site for signs of bleeding or other problems. If you have had a sedative, you will be transferred to a recovery room while the effects wear off. You will need to arrange for a friend or family member to escort you home afterwards, as you may not be safe to drive. If you live alone, it is advisable to have someone stay with you for the first 24 hours.
Mild to moderate aching in the area of the extraction site is normal after a bone marrow biopsy and you should find that you feel more comfortable if you take standard painkillers such as paracetemol. More powerful analgesic drugs are rarely required.
Skilled examination of the bone marrow fluid or core sample can provide evidence for a wide range of diseases. Experienced pathologists will stain and count the number and distribution of cells, and compare these results with the normal range. They will also check for abnormal cells. Bone marrow biopsy results may show one or more of the following:
A bone marrow biopsy may also be used to check the progress of a disease see if you are responding to the treatment being given. You may need a bone marrow biopsy at regular intervals to fine tune the dosage, especially where it is important to give as little of the drugs as possible due to side effects.
Bone marrow biopsy results normally take between a few days and a couple of weeks to come back, depending on the urgency of the request and the nature of the analysis. Some staining techniques can take a few days and this can delay the results. If your specialist feels that it is important that your results are received quickly, for example if they feel urgent cancer treatment may be needed, this will be accommodated by the labs. Urgent requests such as this will naturally slow down less urgent bone marrow biopsy results. Waiting a little longer may therefore not be a bad thing, even though it can be difficult.

Rapid application development with Ruby and Glade
Application development shouldn't be a chore. We'll show you how to simplify the development process with the Ruby programming language and the Glade interface design utility.
For even the most experienced developers, the drudgery of the edit-compile-test cycle can become very oppressive. Fortunately, an assortment of open source tools cuts the fat out of the development process by helping programmers focus on functionality instead of on all the arbitrary implementation details. With dynamic programming languages and versatile interface design utilities, even relatively inexperienced programmers can build complex applications with little effort. One promising combination of tools is the Ruby language and the Glade interface development system.

Quakers renamed "Darlington 1883" (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

Quakers renamed "Darlington 1883"
12:40pm Monday 25th June 2012 in News By Joe Willis , Regional Chief Reporter
THE Quakers will be called Darlington 1883 next season, the club has announced.
The club has been forced to find an alternative playing name to Darlington FC by the Football Association (FA) after losing an appeal last week.
Owners Darlington FC 1883 said they had planned to hold a comprehensive poll to allow as many fans as possible to put forward their opinions.
However, a last minute deadline meant a new name had to be submitted today.
Fan polls were arranged by DFC 1883 and The Northern Echo last week which showed the most popular names were Darlington AFC and Darlington 1883.
After receiving guidance that Darlington AFC could be rejected, the board chose Darlington 1883.
Laura Drew, DFC 1883 director and part of the team that attended the appeal, said "We ended up in a position where we had to make a decision more or less on the spot, and this isn't the first time that has happened due to factors outside of our control.
"It was vital to us that the fans had some say in the new playing name of their team and Darlington 1883 was very popular in the polls that we received.
"Following the appeal hearing we were told that a new name would need to registered 'sooner rather than later' but it was only midday on Saturday when it became clear that we needed to confirm the name today. "The FA required us to differentiate from the previous playing name which incidentally was simply 'Darlington' as per last season's FA handbook and the use of 1883 has been adopted and broadly accepted by the town to reflect the history of the club as well scoring well in the polls."
Interim board chairman Denis Pinnegar added: "The open day at Bishop Auckland on Saturday was an excellent day and it was great to see so many fans looking forward to the new season.
"Deciding on the new name was a close run thing between the two final choices but Darlington 1883 demonstrates the great history of our club which is very important to us.
"We are disappointed that the poll could not run its course but the deadline placed on us at the last minute of Monday morning has to be adhered to. Now its all about preparing for the new season which we are all looking forward to."
Craig McKenna, DFC 1883 project director, said the board was getting used to making decisions at the last minute.
"It's not something that we enjoy or encourage and this one is particularly frustrating as the fans were coming forward in their numbers to give their opinions.
"I am confident we have a playing name that will prove popular with the fans although I do think there will be some who will be critical.
"We tried to initiate a process where the fans would have the final say on the new playing name but the unbelievably short notice of the deadline has meant that we have had to take the feedback we had at hand and make a decision from there."
He added: "This is an exciting new era for this football club and the 400 plus season tickets sold on Saturday show that the Darlington FC fans are still 100 pre cent behind the football club."
Club officials had hoped a plea for leniency to the FA would see the Quakers allowed to keep their name as well as playing in the Evo-Stik League and national FA competitions next season.
However, following a crunch meeting at Wembley Stadium last week they came away disappointed on all counts.
